Thorough drainage should be assured even if it is necessary to lay a few rods of tiling.

Never build a house in a hollow as it will be just about impossible to keep the chickens healthy in such a structure. The building itself can be adaptor! n thn unp.kp.thook of the builder.

Where the climate is not unreasonably cold in winter, unreasonable from the stand--uc of poultry management, the house may be built very cheaply. Tt. must turn the rain, shut out drafts

Silage for feeding cattle is "becoming more popular every year and thrnnerhnut manv sections has become

almost a necessity. There may be

some districts in which roughage can be more cheaply supplied in the form

of hay; but even tnen sometmng succulent, in the form of sil&ge or roots, is almost essential for the best results. I know of no better combination than clover hay and good corn silage. The one seems to be the exact complement

of the other. Both are very palatable to cattle and should be, fed separately for the sake of variety. A bunch of cattle getting a good feed night and morning of cut straw

and silage, mixed 12 hours betöre ieeciing, and all the !ong clover hay they will eat at noon, is about as well off for roughage as is possible. I do not know of any other ration on which cattle can be. kept so full all the time without putting them off their feed. In the early part of the season very little grain should be fed and the allowance gradually increased from week to weelc. Many farmers waste a good deal of grain by overfeeding in the earlv nart of the winter. It is

an easy matter to rum the digestion

of a steer by feeding too much corn for any considerable length of time. A mixture of grains will always give better results than any single variety fed alone. If cottonseed meal and molassp.s are to be fed it is a good prac

tice to keep them for a finishing ra-

Recent injuries to. young pears In many western New York orchards are due to the work of false tarnished plant bugs. By their attacks the pears become weakened and dwarfed and drop early, or if they hang on the trees to maturity are scarreds and deformed so as to be unmarketable. The damage in a few cases has extended to threp-fmirths of the crop; but such in-

stannp.s are comparatively few, as the

j pest has not yet become widely spread

in noticeably destructive numoers. . . i t 1

Pear growers should be on tne waicn for it, however, and adopt repressive measures at first sign of its appearance, for the period during which in jury can be prevented is short.
