Poultry is not a nuisance. They are money-maker- s for the farmer. The steam-heatepoultry house bas gone the way of many other foolish fads. No hen should be kept after her sec ona year unless lor orceaing pur poses. A brooder costs but little and less work than caring for hens with broods. With incubators and brooders chicks may be produced when prices are highest. Grit is very essential and a turkey will consume more grit than any other kind of poultry. When dressed the Guinea present a round, plump body, good-sizebreast and small bones. Do not feed the turkeys on one grain continually, but vary the food to Include principally corn, wheat and oats. Do not feed the turkeys a heavy meal in the morning, but feed lightly, or not at nil, so they will have reason to forago widely through tho fields. A murket squab raiser cannot feed as high as the fancier, but he must feed good, wholesome grain, avoiding that which has been damaged In any way. Lnrge-th-oad birds, according to some experts, are to be sought. The advantage, they claim, lies In the fact that they are less likely to be choked In feeding. Any young turkeys that seem frequently or continually ailing should be killed and burled. They will never be valuable for any purpose and it will save trouble to put them out 0! the way. d d Old 'Orchards and New Heads. In the case of old orchards that have long, bare limbs It Is frequently desirable to cut these entirely off and form a new head. A part ot the limbs may be left the first year, so that while the new head Is forming there will stt'l be a part to bear fruit, or, it there Is no crop, the entire tops may be cut back. It possible there should be some small twigs left on each limb. Some of the advantages claimed for trees that are headed In somewhat are: The fruit la easier to pick; the trees are less likely to break, as the fruit 1b not borne at the ends of long, bare limbs that act as levers; this pruning thlna the fruit; the orchard remains thrifty for a longer time.
