DOMESTIC FOWLS IN WINTER. 
One of the greatest errors that prevails in the manage¬ 
ment of the domestic fowl, and one which must be de¬ 
structive of all profit, is the common practice of leaving 
them to u shirk for themselves,” during the winter 
months. There is no animal on the farm that better 
repays good keeping than the hen, and with it, there is 
none that affords so much profit on the capital employ¬ 
ed. The hen should have a close warm roost, for there 
are few creatures that suffer more from the cold than 
fowls; they should have a box of gravel, sand, ashes, 
kc., for them to roll and dust themselves in, to prevent 
the attacks of those insects to which foAvls are subject • 
they should have access to pulverized limestones or 
limestone gravel, as this will give material for shell, and 
contribute to the health of hens; they should have 
abundance of water, clean and pure, for few animals 
will drink more frequently or eagerly than hens, if wa¬ 
ter is within their reach; and no one need expect health- 
ly fowls, or a plentiful supply of eggs, who does not pay 
strict attention to their supply of food. Indian corn, 
fieas, buckwheat, oats, or barley, may he fed to fowls. 
Potatoes steamed or boiled, are excellent food for them, 
hut must he fed while warm, as fowls will not eat cold 
potatoe, unless driven to it by hunger. Fowls should 
have access to a warm yard in the sunny days of win¬ 
ter as warmth is particularly invigorating to them. If 
confined for any time in a close ill ventilated room, they 
v/ill become diseased and feeble, and will require extra 
attention to repair the evil generated. 
Sheep Poisoneb by Peach Leaves. —The poisonous 
quality of the leaves of the wild cherry, has been long 
knoAvn, and cattle and sheep have frequently lost their 
lives by eating them. The substance A\hich produces 
these effects, is supposed to he prussic acid. Peach leaves 
are knoAvn to contain this acid, and a writer in the 
Wood-Grower states that tAvo sheep had died from eat¬ 
ing freely of peach leaves. Various remedies have been 
given for the relief of animals which have eaten poison¬ 
ous substances. In regard to sheep and cattle, avc have 
formerly experienced good success from giving as soon 
as the illness of the animal is discovered, sweet-oil, lard, 
or butter, mixed with salt. For a sheep, a gill of oil, 
Avith a table-spoonful of fine salt, was the quantity given. 
A. coav might have four times that quantity. It is very 
important that the dose he given as soon as the symp¬ 
toms of poisoning are manifest; the longer it is delayed, 
the less likely it will be to afford relief. 
Remedy for Plum Knots. —The old fashioned remedy 
“ to cut and keep cutting,” still proves infallible. Un¬ 
fortunately, it is very rarely applied, even by those Avho 
think they have given it a fair trial. Perhaps the disease 
has been permitted to adA r anee for two or three months 
before it has even excited attention. The knife is then 
made use of, and a single operation is regarded enough. 
No wonder that a remedy, applied in such a burlesque 
manner, should be considered inefficient. We observe 
that the application of copperas water to the Avounds 
made by the excision of the knots on the larger branch¬ 
es, is spoken of highly by different cultivators.
