I J , i THE FARMING WORLD. CORN MEAL FOR HENS. Notes of Timely Interest to Farmer Who ltiile INiultry. Very often wo rco in our exchanges articles advising tho feeding of corn mcnl, scalded until it will stick to gether. This Is poor advice, for tho hen that Is fed on such food will bo compelled to swallow moro water than is at nil necessary. The very best way to feed corn to hens is whole, and if it is to bo fed to chicks it may bo cracked. When wo first got in tho notion qf feed ing cracked corn wo had no means of cracking it, nnd wo wont to our miller nnd asked hint if ho could help us out. He wns perfectly willing to do so, and we had him rnlso his huhrs till tho corn when It wont through was just coarse ly broken, say about like grains of wheat. As the corn was dry, a eon hldcrnblc part of It was much finer than wo wanted it. This we sifted out mid fed to tho youngest chicks, nnd tho effect wns so beneficial that wo havo kept up tho custom for thrco or four years, and tho demand for this cracked corn has grown to a.uch proportions that now our flouring mills keep it regular ly for tho sole purpose of feeding chickens. Chickens cannot bo grown to the best advantage iu country places without being fed corn as u largo part of their food. Somo thero aro who aro constantly decrying tho uso of corn, but they aro thoso who baso their tenchings largely on theory, and the best practical bracders agree that corn is ono of tho essentials. Tho chemist tells us what elements go to make up corn, nnd from their analyses wo nro led to think that corn is not tho best food, but it is with corn llko it is with root crops. Tho writer oneo asked a noted dairyman why it wns that mangels, which analyze so low in value, woro so valuable when fed to cows, nnd he replied that thero was something in them that tho chemist did not find. So it is with corn. Thero is something in it that mnkes chickens do well on it In spite of chemical analyses. Wo do not advocate n clear corn diet by any means, but bcllevo In n variety, consisting of anything edible, for tho digestion of uny kind of poultry is good, but if wo wero confined to one kind of feed, corn would bo our choice, and we would feed it dry, oven if wo hud to feed meal.

They nro easily bred, however, and thousands of them havo been do mesticated, both in California nnd other states. When grown under cover, as tho Englishman raises his pheasants, they breed kindly and prolificly. They go in largo flocks in California two to thrco hundred together being seen Tory irequently there. They nro killed in 'various ways in their nntivo forests or prairie retreats, and thoir flesh has been found vory toothsomo in flavor.

Within a Oeiierntliin. Further destruction of forests with out effort to make good the wnsto will produce n timber famine within a gen eration. Many kinds of valuablo woods have already practically disappeared, nnd other kinds are disappearing rap idly from our forests. For ono hundred years tho destruction of timber has been constant, without renewal. Re foresting is not dilllcult nor costly, nnd returns will bo ample. Ono of tho first duties Is to cut from tiittbcrland only thoso trees that havo reached their prime, while preserving the undergrowth from browsing ani mals by fencing forest tracts. Second growth should bo guarded and not thinned so much as to provent a proper development of trunks for economical use as timber. Natural planting should be encouraged in the vicinity of forests containing desirable species. Such planting may be encouraged by fencing in cleared areas about forests nnd keep lug cattle out. Wnsto lands on hillsides or rocky places, or on tho borders of swntnps, should bo planted with valuable forest trees Hiiltablo to tho location. Plant ing In groups will insure good timber, especially from the trees most Blinded. Experimental planting of (r roups on wasto laud will bring valuablo experi ence in tree culture. Success In reforesting depends grunt ly upon a careful observation of naturo and nature's methods. No one of ex perience would plant black walnut in marshy ground or black ash on a hill side. Pino and cedar flourish in swamps and on hillsides alike, and tho same is true of hemlock. White nsh and black cherry flourish best on dry ground. Swamp white oak, a valuable timber tree, loves moist ground. Hard maple Is sometimes found in swnmps.'bnt it docs not flourish thero as well as on uplands. Elms love moisture. Trees usually found growing together In forests should bo planted together. Trees of ono species nro rarclv found alone, and thero is u belief, probably well founded, that a variety of species In a forest is most conclusive to strong and healthy growth. Tho soil of ex hausted hillsides is best rcmnu'd by i. growtli of trees and n deposit of loaf mold. A young forest thickly planted must bo a constant source of profit, after tho first eight or ten years, through cutting to thin out nnd give room for proper development of tops. A. S. Hamilton, President (iuneseo Val ley (N. Y.) Forestry Association. POULTRY IN WINTER. Iten will Hnvo (looil Appetite ir Their 1'ectl In Vurlml. Tho hens nro partial to a variety of food, which is an advantage to tho farmer, as it gives him an opportunity of feeding many substances that nro uusalablo in winter. Thu supposition that poultry must bo fed entirely on grain hns entailed a greater expanse in keeping poultry than necessary, to say nothing of tho fact that tho pro duction of eggs has been diminished, rather than increased, by feeding tho fowls so largely on grain. Tho hen is, liko tho cow, n producer, nnd she is capable of utilizing many kinds of food. This should bo ap parent to all from the fnct that an egg is composed of nearly all of tho ele ments that aro required to form a com plete substance, or to produce a living creature. If tho lions had no duty to perform but. that of simply existing and fattening, grain would supply them with all that they require; but, as stated, tho lion N a producer, nnd Mie must bo given suitable foods for her purpose or sho will fall to accomplish tho object for which sho is intended on tho farm. No farmer would expect his cow to thrive on a diet of grain exclusively. Sho requires bulky food, and she re quires a vnrioty. Not only is she al lowed an abundance of nutritious hay, but also carrots, turnips or ensilage, tho object being to promote tho nppu tlto and assist digestion, as well as to allow her a greater opportunity of se curing tho nitrogen, carbon nnd min eral matter which is so esscutial to milk production. Tlicro is no difference between tho hen and tho cow in their demands for food. Tho hen requires bulky food, und she will ent the samo kinds that tho cows recolvo if such foods ure cut very fine. A mess of hay will bo cnger ly devoured by n flock of hens, nnd it will bo of groator service for producing eggs than corn. Farmors know that their fowls will sometimes refuse to eat corn or wheat It Is because thoy havo been surfeited with such food. When tho food is varied tho hens will have good appetites, and, as 'tho appo tlto influences egg production, the feeding of n variety is moro Important than quantity. Farm nnd Fireside.

Professor Dowar wns able, in a lee- j, turn on chemistry in London lately, to produce liquid oxygon in tho presence of tho audience literally by t pints, and to pass liquid air-about the room ia claret glasses. Oxygen liquefies rtt about 250 degrees bolow zero, and air at 043 degrees below loro. If tho earth wero reduced to a temperature of USO degrees below zero, it would be. cov ered with a soa of liquid air thirty-five . feet deep.

It was discovered that, tho refuse leftufter tho oil hns been extracted from pesnut contains 50 per cent, of albuminous matter. Kuch being tho case, bread made with nn admixture of peunuts ot peanut refuse would certainly be highly nutritious, inasmuch as tho nutritive clement of any kind of bread is mainly albuminous. Wheat und ryo flours have only nbout 11 or 13 per cent, of albuml- nous mutter in them. When oil hae been extracted by pressure or otherwise' from u vcgotablo substance, thu residue is called "oil cake." All oil cakes are largely albuminous.
