RIIS sell of the Wiscon sin experiment staf tton, writing on the subject af pasturix- ation, says: Under ordinary conditions; milk in evitably suffers a change in its phys i c a I . composition that soon fenders it unfit for human food. This fermentation Is com monly called souring, although there . are masked under this general name a . number- of other changes. The souring of milk Is due to the action of numerous living, or ganisms that break down the sugar in the milk, forming lactic acid, and the change in.:the chemical reaction of the milk results in the formation of a hard, firm curd. If the entrance of these organisms that come from the dust of the air, the dirt and filth that is dislodged from the animal, the impurities that' re main in 'the cracks, and joints of the vessels that are used to 'hold the milk could be entirely prevented, milk would remain sweet for an indefinite period of time. .Scrupulous cleanliness in "se curing and handling such a perishable article as milk does much to.-keep it in a normal condition, but even with the best of care, much loss is occasioned by the presence of these growing bac teria that are capable of exerting such, a profound influence on this food prod- uct. . - The fowls shown in the illustration on this page arc Sultans, so called be cause they were imported into Europe Not only docs the .consuming public demand that its'milk supply should be as free as possible from foreign im purities, so that it will retain its. keep ing qualities for the longest possible time, but the relations of milk to the public health, especially .to the welfare of infants and children,' is a question of paramount importance. The recogni tion of the facjr that consumptioru-ff its man phases is a common disease'of dairy cattkrcind that the possibility, of infectiojrexists throughahe use of milk of tuberculous animals has done much to.awaken the jiublic interest in,--a closer examination of milk . siinpfies. The variouswpidemics of typhofn and scarlet fevsrs as well as diphttseria that, have bewfftraced directly tom infected milk-supply show conclusively that the possibility of infectionJrfing transmit ted by means of mtlj-ris not to be ig nored. In considerinjhe ways in which it is possible toBender our milk sup plies purer anymore wholesome, the hygienic side'of the question must be considered as well as the. economic phase. In" order to accomplish the above pur-, poses,, wholly or in part, many rneffi ods of treatment have been suggested that are based upon the action.ff dif ferent physical and. chemical 'forces. All of these attempt to accomplish their purpose by either irihibiting-lhe growth of or actually destroying the bacterial life that inevitably gains access to milk under ordinary condiionrf. One of the most suqcessful methods of treatment hag beejirln the use of heat applied in differentVays. - f The importance of the above 'relation is demonstrate- in a recent epidemic of typbold fevr in Stamford, 'Conn, Prof. C. A. Ijipisley, secretary .of state board of health, in a letter to the writer under daTof May 20. 1895, says: "In the town of Stamford, of about 18,000 population, the cases now number over 300. All these cases are the' customers of one milk peddler." In several in stances where personscontracted the disease, theydrank themilk while visit ing at the house of the' milkman. It had been the. habit to wash the cans with water from ."a. well, and it is thought that the contamination of the milk occurred inThis "way. r - m whyC do Yoa Milk? t in man instances tne -cows are milked in tie open yard in the' summer, and in tittime the movement of the cows rcrmnds one of. an rnimal show, and thatrmilking is oftenAttended with damavis not to be gmnsafd. Cows, to maKe the most of ineir opportuni ties, need to be miUrta in quiet, and a larger part of the hot months some sort of a soilingjcrop must be fed to obtain the best results, which means' prolonging the'milk flow, and nowhere can thi3 be so well done and each .cow receive her due proportion, as intne stable.

Practical Farmer. reality of Te-day. . "The magnificent hen seen -today, weighing eight to ten pounds and pro ducing twelve to fourteen dozen of eggs yearly, is. not an accident," said Dr. G. M. TwitcheU before the Massa chusetts' board of agriculture some years ago. "She has been evelved out of the brain .and hand of man through centuries of breeding and feeding. Left to Its native state the product would be only what is necessary to perpetuate the species." The poultry man of today has learned that the matter of feed is far more important, commerqially, than 'breed True, we have varieties that are better adapted .to extensive egg production . than others, yet the laying of eggs depends altogether upon the quality of ration the hens of any breed get. Scientific men tell us that an egg is an ounce and a half of concentrated food made up of lime, soda, sulphur, iron, phos phorus, magnesia, oil, and ' albumej The hen is the mill to grind, say Ihe cron the honner. and the eire the grist Every particle .of the egg, yolk, albumen,. and shell, must come from the assimilated food- through the blood cells. If we give a fatty or heating ration we check egg produc tion, because the proper, material is' missing. . Coin, contains 86 per cent fat and. heat elements, hence is no egg" food. .We -must not guage economy by cheapness. Corn may be the cheap? est ration as far as dollars and cents from Constantinople,' where they are known as "Sultan's Fowls." They some what resemble .White Polish, .but have are concerned, in its market value, but it undoubtedly is a dear-egg food, for it cannot produce what -is wanted.- Farmers have" the idea that corn. will make." eggs and for proof 'refer to the fact that their hens get nothing- else, but they forget to .note that their -stock are allowed perfect freedom..:that they gather much in- their foraging trips. Worms, bugs, grass, wheat, oats "and what not arc to be found oh the daily trips of the feathered .tribe. So'Jt is not the com, but the variety of other feed the hens collect that, make the eggs, and "the former gets the .credit. The cheapest egg food, then, is that which gives the most eggs;". -such a quantity of food, too,, as wilt be thor. oughly digested -'and assimilated. A1F this science and knowlcdge'the poultry man of today has gleaned and he is keeping on learning. Ex." Tire Stove Made -Them Lay. A reader at Pittsburg, Pa.,-sends us an interesting letter and states how he secured eggs in winter from thirty hens by the use of a stove. He.savs: Lvc have thirty brown Leghorn heits,' eignt. or which are in their second or third year, the others poultry" from last May". They are inclosed in -two coops, each 9x12 feet, with plenty of I light, clean'" quarters (being cleaned .twice a week and daily in summer), and floors covered with cut straw to the depth -of three or four inches. -Also, a free range of. two or three acres in fair weather. Our method of feeding 'is as follows: Morning meal, potatoes ov any other kind of -vegetables, with bits' of meat; pieces of dry- bread (scalded), and on this enough bran, crushed bone. and fine grit to .make all amount -to two and one-half' quarts. This is al ways fed warm and ariy. Water' also" is served warm and renewed at noon daily. At noon, three or four handfuls of oats, millet; small feeds among lit ter. In evening, about one quart Of corn or oats, alternately. They start ed "to lay in November and continued till winter, when'they stopped for want of sufficient' warmth. " We then pro cured a small stove and by running the pipe through both coops warmed. both. Since then a magic change has come over them. The -stove was in service but. a week when" they began business again and are now keeping it up. hav ing in February produced 330 eggs. At present (March), they average fifteen eggs a day, sometimes -yielding seven teen or eighteen Do you think they are doing.as well a's they -should, and is labor sufficiently repaid? Would be thankful for an opinion. Another query: A friend. of mine is anxious to cro'ss Black Minorca cockerel on Brown Leghorn 'hens. ' Would there be a gain, as to number and size of eggs or" any other advantage as layers by' uniting ihe qualities of both? , There is no doubt that warmth is Urte main factor in securing eggs in Vinter changing the season into sum mer conditions. The objection in the above Is a probability that should the house be made too warm the hens may become tender and easily take cold. In regard to the cross mentioned, it is probable that the Black Minorca would increase the-size of the eggs, but not the number. We' see no advantage s- u 8lze ia wanted in & wfay in crossing, as it soon leads to mon- not use the pure Minorca without cross ing?' A cross destroys many.good qual ities of both breeds. American Poultry Keeper. rattry Inda'try. Ib England. The royal commission on'agriculture findr iat poultry raising is a" very profitable business in England, noW withstanding the eeneral denressinnl but it is conducted on somewhat differ ent lines from here. They say: Th'e industry is divided into two branches, those of rearing and fatten-' ing, carried'on, as a rule, by different persons, but combined in a compara- Itively few instances. The rearers breed and keep chickens tHl'the birds are three or four months old, when the fatteners purchase them at Is Sd tc 3s 6d each, according to the season of the year. Occasionally early birds fetch as much as 3s.9d or even 4s. .In spite of losses from disease, rooks, and vermin, rearing must be a very protaDle indus try, as it is estimated that the 'average cest ef a bird when fit for tbe fatteaor Is only Is. -But this branch of thu iu- dvstry is prof taMe because it is wider, done, the fatteaers being rarely, able to obtain as many chickens as they re quire. Dairy farming is nsually combined with poultry breeding and rearing, the skim mirk being given to the fowls and butter being made. The largest rearing farm mentioned by Mr. Rew is one of 200 acres, on. which about 8.000 chickens are reared annually, ten dairy cows, other cattle, and some sheep and pigs being also kept. The farmers of the south, despite the low price of wheat, corn and cotton, can make -a much better showing, when it comes .to statistical figures, than their brethren In other sections, says Implement- Age. The value of southern real estate has rapidly in creased since -1880, when it was $7,600, 000,000. Ten years later it was $11,400, 000,000 a gain of "over -50 per cent. During the same period the New Eng land and middle states had increased but 22 per cent From 1880 to 1890, the south gained 46 per cent in the amount of agricultural products, the rest of the country gaining 9 per cent. The re ceipts for farm produce were over 34 per -cent on the capital Invested; the other states in the union received but 12 per cent. - These are the gross re ceipts, and show that the sputhern farmer receives on the capital invested nearly $2 where the northern farmer receives $1. Then, if the cost of living, clothing and 'the longer working sea son are considered, it, will largely in crease the. revenue in favor of the southern farmer. ..The crops that can be raised in- the south cover a much wider range than in the north or west, and facilities for .cheap transportation are unequaled. With 'sheep, as with other stock, when, ever body wants to sell nobody wants. to buy.. more .abundant feathers 'and shorter legs. They are good layers, their eggs being large and white. .Doga as Beasts of Bardci-u In. this "country the dog is. In nine cases out of ten, the master of the than, writes the-Brussels correspondent of the Baltimore Ijfews. In continental Europe the reverse is; tbe case, the dog there being too often the martyr of the man. In Belgium' is this especially noticeable, for one of the first, things that- im presses the stranger in Brussels is the -immense number, of dors employed -in .drawing. barrows and small carts about the. streets. In that city alone over" ten thousand dogs are so engaged, and the total number- of -.draught, dogs in the-whole country, is probably not less than fifty thousand. Generations of servitude -have made. the Belgian dog a race apart "For his size he' is said, to possess the greatest pulling power of any animal, four times his own weight being considered a load well within his' power.Takinghis aver age weight' as half a hundred. weight. ttlfa mo-ina tlia'f nunaflifiiir 111m R AAA tons are daily dragged about by canine labor in Belgium """" v '- . . The economic importance of the Bel- gian dog and his inability to.give ef- fective expression to his own griev- ances. have caused the Royal Society "for the Protection of Animals to nn- .dcrtake an agitation- for the ameliora tion-of his lot. It is urged that the animals are frequently overloaded .and often cruelly treated, and that in many cases they are given no opportunity for resting when the cart or barrow is not' actually in- motion. Among the reforms demanded are (1) the-abolition of the whip .'and severe penalties against the STutal practice - of kicking tired-out dogs: (2) the raising' dogs; (2) tbe of the minimum shoulder height I few years the two will become incorpo for dogs of burden" from twenty" ; rated, making a fine, -black, sandy soil, to twentyrtwo inches: (3) a penalty On eround nre-emlnentlv fitted for the against, drunkenness when in charge and against the employment of children as drivers, and (4) tbe compulsory ar rangement of- harness and shafts so' as to permit the animals to lie down when the vehicle is at. rest. . Although there is no demand as yet by either the dogs rir their biped friends for an eight-hour law. there -'can 'be no doubt that the adoption of these planks in the platform of canine emancipation will be hailed with gratitude throughout weary dog dbm in the domain of King Leopold. - "White Scoars in Lamb. - The American" Sheep Breeder says: One of -the most prevalent diseases' in young lambs' is that commonly known as the white scours, a form of diarrhea due to indigestion' of the ewes' .milk, which is passed through tbe bowels with very little change. This is one of those common instances. 'of the well known fact that a young animal suffers from tbe disease of- its dam,, due to the milk conveying the disease by Its unwholesome-character. This trouble in the flock is mostly at a time when the ewes are turned on the grass for the first' time, and tbe young and immature herbage has not sufficient nutriment in it, hut too much 'water, and turns sour in the stomach ot the ewe. Necessari ly, this affects the milk, the poisonous matter-passing off from the ewe in this way "without . affecting .her -in any marked way. And thus the lambs suf fer while the dams 'escape. Prevention is always the safest in a flock, and 'to avoid long feeding on a rank growth of young grass, especially on a rich or moist soil, and a gradual change from dry feed to green grass, will always be" a -safeguard against this disorder, which if not quickly suppressed, will kill off the lambs in a few hours after they are taken with it Spruce" Pulp. The princioal ija"rt of the cut of spruce on the Androscoggin Ktver is now consumed by the pulp mills. Bangor lumbenrien -say the puip mills of the Penobscot devour the- equivalent of 50,000,000 feet spruce' logs each yearwith also new pulp mills in process of. construction. Hon. Charles A. Milliken, mayor of Augusta, says the mills are using fifty milliuis of spruce each year on the Kennebec for pulp.' . About 25,000,000 feet spruce loss are converted into nuln tin the 'Merrimack River in New Hampshire, wnue more tnan twice that amount is annually needed to supply tbe pulp end paper mills on the Connecticut River Great is wood pulp. Ex. Times will never get too hai-d for tbe ( faithful hen to earn her living. C?titl.. . i&rJr FBM AND GAKDEN. MATTERS OP INTEREST . AGRICULTURISTS. TO Va-Aa-Da WmU AIm-b Cattta-tr C tlM.SaH aadt TieMa Tkaraar YKteaUajr aa4 -Vlari- ELOW WE GIVE an article, from the pen of S. C. Gordon in the Ohio Farmer. It Is of great im portance, as scien tists have asserted .that moles live only ,on animal food. If .this man be right, the mole is a public enemy. The article :is as follows: I read the article of Mr. Cranx, In re gard to moles. In a late, issue of The Ohio Fanner and am pretty certain that any farmer who has been growing corn, potatoes or sweet potatoes for a number of years cannot agree with him. From my own experience (and that of other farmers with whom I have con versed on. the subject). I have found that where a mole-run is found 'in a sweet potato ridge.-or in a potato hill, the potatoes have denarted. Some--! times I have found them partly eaten, the surface still fresh. In regard to corn. It is considered to be of little use to plant where it has been taken by moles, unless cultivation can commence immediately, and farm ers, frequently commence cultivation when they find the moles at work, be fore the corn is up, cultivating deep. Some sixteen 'or seventeen years ago I had a-field of corn badly Injured by moles, in places nearly all gone, and in other places a pretty good stand. I knew it was of no use to put. corn in the same places as I could 'not then commence .plowing, and if I waited, much longer the replant would do little good, so I 'got a boy to drop two grains of corn on each of the missing hills, and a couple of men and myself cov ered it by drawing- dirt over the hill-.with- a hoe; the result was a good field' of corn. . I. did not see the moles take the corn, but" wherever the run .went through the hill the corn was missing and where there was no- mole"run- thp corn grew all right I once read in an agricultural paper of a man 'in New York, I believe, buy ing, moles at five cents apiece to put into his ground to loosen -the earth and I" presume to catch 'grubs. 1-.never heard the ' result - of his experience his theory was the' same as that of Mr. Cranz. I expect 'when he undertook to put bis theory into practice ' he changed- his mind. .Some years ago -'I was hauling 'in corn from tbe shock; there was over a foot of snow with a hard crust on it; I took a hoe to loosen' the butts of corn stalks; in the center of tbe last shock I found some half dozen cobs, still in- the 'husks with no corn on them: I thought a rat had been at work-, but the earth had hot been worked, up among the. 'stalk's, so I-concluded It had been a rabbit -As I was cutting the tie stalk I saw what I took to be a rat. among the blades," .although It moved rather to'6 slowly- for one. I gave it a clip with -the hoe,, when, lo, and behold, it was a mole. That set tled the matter, not only with- the mole, but with me, -that' moles do cat corn. I went to the barn, unloaded my com" and' put iny team away, think ing about the "New York man whose moles never bothered vegetation, and who bought up all .he could, and thought that. In the spring-when the insectivorous mole was circulating in the agricultural papers I would .give my experience. . " But hold on the fact isn't proven. You don't know that the. mole did eat the corn; it's only circumstantial evi dence. A rat .might eat the corn and the mole, just happened in after the mischief was done and it was getting late in the day, .and turning much colder, and it was quite a distance from the barn, a deep snow with a heavy crust to tramp through, I was satisfied myself, but that didn't prove it. I , sharpened my knife and waded back," I cut tbe mole open and found its stom ach filled. with' finely ground corn. i A neighbor told me that he had made a strong decoction of Mayapple root and soaked corn" in it and put in their .'runs in the. cornfield and thus killed them. ' He said the year before a man , who. had corn on his farm complained !aBou,t a mo,,e J"?-'1- ?InJn one particular place, that he tried the rem- at ls Bnggestlon'and the next-day ?r so, aftef Ptting.the corn in the run, ' he p,ow;d l the ?fS mle- baVe : never tried .it-myself, however. . ... .Growing Oranberriea. - Last week we had something to say abput cranberries and the soil.on which they could be' best grown. ' The soil best adapted to " the' growing of this fruit is a mixture of sand and muck. One way-te obtain this desired soil is to haul onto the'-ground designed for cranberries large quantities, of '.muck. After this has decomposed cover it witn- fine sand from the beach, in a growing of cranb'eries the soil rarely ! becomes dry . except on the' .surf ace. Stagnant -water is to be avoided,-as it usually, proves fatal. Running .brooks in j such -a meadow are' of value, but they i must be -under . full control. The ground must be in such shape. that it can-he drained-from -one to two feet below the. surface.' The streams are to be used tor winter flooding and stun 1 mer irrigation. Some people advise I planting vines upon uplands, but such locations arc not advisable.. True, the vines will sometimes -live and bear, but it is an unusual state of affairs and should not be encouraged; for.instance. writers on cranberry growing say that vines, upon -dry lands are .sho'rtrlived, blossoms are. blasted, and 'the fruit is dwarfed or badly worm eaten, the rav ages of the fruit. worm being -greatest upon dry soils. According to the opinions of .some growers, soil heavily impregnated with oxide of iron should not be selected. Nearly, all of our readers will readily recognize such soil by the ""Iron rust" that collects in the little stag nant pools. The main objection to such soil is that.it freezes in a different manner from most other soils, the ice and frozen earth forming long crystals, and these latter have a. tendency to throw out of the ground the little roots of the cranberry. It is true tbat such lands can be used, -but they will need to be kept 'flooded in winter, and if by any reason the. water becomes drawn off. a disaster may follow. The same objection is urged against pure muck, as it will heave out the vines during the freezing and thawing process, if not covered by water or sand. One or two inches of .sand over the muck will prevent this. Coarse er flakey mucks are also to be avoided, as they neither retain moisture, nor act as a capillary sponge to draw up water in dry seasons. Such soil can be used only with irrigation. Preparing a Swamp. .First dig a draining ditch about two feet deep lengthwise of th'e swamp and wide enough to take all the storm water tbat comes. The next move is -to re move .the turf, which may be some times more easily done by first burning off the dry grass. After the turf has been removed, the branch' drains may be dug. The distance apart of these drains will depend much upon the con dition of the soil, but some place them , at. two rods apart After this comes j the plowing and sanding. As to the ; depth of sand everything will depend ' on the conditions. The depth must vary according to the depth of the muck and-condition of .the bottom, most sand being required on thoe ajaadewf ttt have, the deepest muck, 7JS&St mmmmmBBBmWmmmmmmmW'jif 1-tfis"tt" fsrtsi-eSawathataktyerefsassrtws laches af sand nakedtt dsep, salt m-Mk wo-aM settle dswm and be lest la Urn elack mass mataraeata.

But cen turies ago it attracted the attention of the farmer, and was appropriated, im proved and cultivated, and used for food for both man aad beast, and to day it bears but slight resemblance to the original stock. In many parts'of the world, and in both cold and. tem perate climates, it is extensively culti vated and used for feeding sheep and cattle, and also for the table, and I am thoroughly convinced that if farmers would give it more attention, and grow it more extensively than heretofore, it would prove to be quite a valuable crop. When the soil and season are favor able the yield per acre is immense. From 300 to 500 bushels have been grown on a single acre, and at 20 or even 15- cents per bushel, they pay better than corn, wheat or tobacco. The Swedish or rutabagas are con sidered the best .for stock. To insure a crop for the approaching fall or win ter the soil should be partially pre pared in March or April. The soil should be fresh and rich as possible, and thoroughly broken and. harrowed both ways and left until the'season fop- sowing the seed. From the 1st to the 15th of Jury is the best time to sow. Then the soil should, be "'broken the second time, and harrowed, and seod sown, provided there is sufficient mois ture to' bring them up. Last season I sowed on tbe 15th of July, and for .three successive weeks the" weatheF was' extremely hot and droughty, 'and the crop a complete 'failure. The bet ter way is to wait-for -moisture, even-if it" delays the sowing, for the seed are very tender and' easily affected by drought ' The quicker and. more rapid the growth the more brittle' and highly flavored the turnip, so .much-depends on' the soil and. season." -Drills are' sometimes used for sow ing,'. but I have generally sown broad cast by hand, and if they come too thick, w.hich.'they often -do. . I thin out with the hoe'. Tf early turnips arc de sired for marketing they should -be' sown In 'March or April,- and- in the garden, where they can be cultivated, which 'insures a .quick growth. There is another advantage in rais ing turnips that" -is- -generally over looked by farmers; they are .'an excel lent .exterminator of Ihe weeds . and leave the soil in excellent condition for any. "other crop. .Heavy, -tough soils are not adapted to" 'their growth.

Prof. Aitken, of Rdinborough, one of the new. editors of the Veterinarian, writes a useful "article in that periodical on "The importance of Salt as an Article of Diet" Ke draws-attention to the fact that" in the blood of animals there is six or seven times as' much sodium as potassium, and that the blood, is remarkable among animal tissues in the constancy of its composition.- It is, therefore, necessary for the. proper maintenance of good health -'that, a certain definitc-i amount of sodium chloride (common salt)' should be. assimilated- by the ani mal. An excess of potassium salts, however, is found in certain food sub stances, and this renders the presence nf a -alt All rhn tmAA fiAiAiBfitv.na - tfciTnf Hi. a ZZ "7 " , ' f Ucleof diet A too abundant. supplv of uuiaBBiuin eliminates me. sail m .me blood .to pass as urine. . Consequently, the' tissues of the body are called upon to yield up to the blood 'the amount of ,, sodium .chloride which if requires. to-i maintain the composition of the- blood , at 'its normal condition. Tbe craving. of an animal for salt is. most impera tive when. the diet -consists largely of , food very 'rich in-potassium salts, such j as the cereal grains wheat, barley", and oats.- potatoes, peas, and beans. On , the other hand, when there is an ' excess of salt there is a crav-' ing' for water to wash it out in the ex- j cretions through the kidneys and .the 'skin.'. Animal3 that are given much , salt, and are allowed to quench their , thirst freely, not only pass more urine than ordinarily, but also sweat more' freely than on more equable diet. Too h much salt throws too much work' on the , kidneys and serious complications may--, follow an. injudicious quantity supplied. '" The pig has few sweat glands by-which to excrete an extra athbu'nt of salt.-l Those which it possesses are -.congre- ' gated around the snout. - These arc not sufficient to eliminate any excess of s.tlt administered, even with the aid of healthy action of the kidneys, and therefore brine poisoning takes place, a ' disease not unfamiliar to the owners of swine. . ". . - j ' The addition of salt to the ordinary I food of animals does .not increase the ' J digestibility of substances consumed. ' but.it increases their appetite, tends to promote repair of tissue by its search- ' ing diffusion through tbe liody. while j it stimulates the rapid "using tip" of its- j waste products. Experiments made by Boussiiigaii.lt showed that salt' increases muscular "-vigor and. activity "amoiig " oxen,- aud improves their general ap pearance and. condition. Viicre mus cular strength is the object" of feeding, a regular supply of salt improves .health .and vigor; thus it is that horses derive L .much henefit from partaking of It es- j pccially when corn and beans-"form an. important 'part of their dietary. Fat- tening oxen should only have as much salt as will increase their appetite for food, and so improve their condition. It should not be given to them too free ly, as the mora sluggish they arc, ai'id the more inclined "to rest, the more rap idly will they- accumulate, wealth of flesh." ' The quantity of salt given to an ox is a matter of some importance. The quantity found suitable to give to oxen feeding on' hay, straw, turnips, etc., is, 'says Prof. Aitken. from half nn ounce , to one and a half ounces per day for .every 1,000 pounds live weight, but if " food rich in potasn salts, such as pota toes, corn," beans and peas, Is being fed I ;to stock, tbe quantity of salt may be considerably increased with good ef fect London Live Stock Journal.

In an article con- , cerning chicken fattening in Sussex, England, the 'Agricultural Gazette has the following: Three or four weeks only are needed for fattening, the chickens being fed twice a day on. ground'oats mixed with skim-milk, en riched with melted mutton or beef fat.
