" Tlio Ciiufaes of this difference in the longevity ot fiult trees are obviously thieo , viz : The nature of the varieties planted , the kind of culture given and the increased boverity ot winters. iN'eaily all the old orchards aio com- . of seedling trees , wiys arr Ex change.

Only thoroughbred beef sires should bo used , and the hotter the beef characteristics of the cow the closer would the breeder bo to the possibilities of the best success.

Linn Brown wiiteato the Farmers' Review that "poulti ) for the farm does not mean poultry for piollt in dollars nnd cents , Tntt poultry fortheu&oof the family. The number of fowls should not exceed fifty , for If more than this nuin- berls Itopt it will require too much work for the wife , us In nine casus out of ton she attends to tlio poultry ; and -why ? Beeauso her husband , when doing regu lar farm work , cannot stop plowing to run and sec if tlio old tuikoy gobbler is killing the chicks , or to see if the old speckled hen is laying with the llttlo black ono -which is setting , and to look after the numberless mutters which ro- qulro nfow minutes' ' tinio now and then. So It seems that the work must fall to the vomeii. I propose keeping about thrity chickens and killing enough old oned and selling enough young ones every jcar to keep the num ber within this limit. As for turloya , four hens and ono gobbler will biipply you yearly with enough of their kind to give ono for each feast of tlio year , If you live near a stream of water it may nay to keep ducks and geese , but us J iravo had no experience with tlmo , I will loivo It to you to say , Having all tlio foIs \ \ , what will protect them from vermin and thieves ; * Good looks and tight funccs.
