Poultry of all kinds should be handled gently. They should not be afraid. When gentle they are more profitable and will lay more eggs and raise more chickens. Jt nppuars that it is not as gener- ally known as it. should be that tar applied directly on the trunks of trees will kill them in time, says the In- land Farmer.

Success in poultry culture, like suc- was in all vocatiuns, depends upon the quality and quantity of brain work put in the enterprise. There is no more important item in the care of horses than to see that. they are exercised each day the year around. A good way to protect the roots of young trees while planting is to place them in a tub of mud, taking out one at a time when ready to set. Comfortable quarters for the young stock is essential to rapid growth and thriitiness. If the youngsters re- coive a chill on their birthday a check is given that weka or mnnths may not OVOrcnme. In many cases they Some of our best poultrymen put a few drops of turpentine in the drink- ing water troughs to prevent and cure worms, says the Live Stock World. When droopy, the cause is often traceable to worms. A few drops of turpentine in corn meal. and their drinking water, will do do no harm and may do lots of good.

This, however, does not damage cox-n any. Hay that has been rained on usually hlcachvs more or less white and it put in the mow with rain or (low on, it, will mold, but hay that heats from its own sap is brown and nut usually moldy.

The value of the bee in work of fer- tilizing plants, by carrying 'pollcn from one plant to another. is greater than its use in producing honey. In fact. without the aid of bees, many crops would be complete failures. Darwin found that one hundred heads of purple clover. protected from the visitation o! bees, produced not a sin‘gle seed, while one hundred heads visited by bees produced about three thousand seeds.

Charles II. raised the standard or the metal. and in 16% the new quallty was given a new mark, Britannia sitting in an oblong puncheon. with a lion's head erased. The standard was found to be too soft for practical purposes. however. and in 1720 there was a re- turn to the old and present standard of metal. with the leopard’s head and the lion passant. Naturally these Bri- tannia pieces are rare. Makers began to use their private marks about 1363. At first they used the first two letters of the surname. About 1739 the initials were substitut- ed. For example, prior to this date Paul Lamerle’s mark was La. After- ward it became P. L. eon.

In 1784 the sovereign’s head was addedâ€"the gov- ernmental customs markâ€"making live punches in all. There were changes from time to time in the fixed hall marks which are worth noting. For example, the leopard's head was set in a puncheon following its outlines until 1678, when it began to appear in a symmetrical shield of five sides. In 1696 the head was reduced some- what in size. In 1720 the leopard lost his beard and his shield became ob- long. and in 1823 his crown was taken away from him. These were all Lon- don marks. There were in addition provincial marks. The Edinburgh hall mark dates from 1457. It was a triple turreted castle or tower. The stand- RM-wwulum RUNNING UPSTMRS.
