The time has gone by when men at poultry raising as a small business. A laying hen should not he fed sd high that she will get fat. Better be a little too lean than a little too fat.

'leach your hens to break and eat eggs by th rowing eig-6hell3 to them large whenever the opportunity offers i his te a good way to do it. Fowf- keeping is one of the bestemploy-me nts for children. Thei are very few young persons, indeed, without a fondness for the occupation, and' it affords them excellent lessons in industry. Use' medicine and stimulants very moderately among poultry. ttemember, true strength and recuperation come from the digestion ofnutritiOns food and can come from no other source, This filling up our breeding flock with only moderately: good Or poor iowls is en tirely wrong, for it is only by breeding lrom tne very best fowls we can get that We can hope to continue improving.

I Mr. she said, 'you select them. I told her I could select beef) mutton, lamb, but was no hand to select chickens or fowls. 'Well, my sister Kate has written a cook boofej' said she, anil away she ran to consult the book: Upon hVr return she began pickiug ond pinching the fowl. 'That's a 'ciiicken lasl and so she weat on until the twelve were selected.

I took six in in each hand and she followed me to the kitchen; She suid to the cook: Now clean these chickens', stuff, and roast' Oh my! Ifeltsorryi Every one was an old fowl. I thought on the whole would not interfere with her cook book Next niorning I called as usual. She sitting upon a little low chair, her legs twisted into knot.
