world. and our Strip men know it as
well as any one.
Caldwell Journal: J. A. Blair spent two
or three days at the Pond Creek ranch
during the storm, and reports that the
COWS hunted their holes, I. E., hollows,
breaks and behind high banks, and re-
manned there till the storm was over,

will not be as heavy as many anticipate.
We hope he is right in this matter.

stack one morning. It is supported that
that the colt was standing by a hole
which the cattle had eaten in the stack
and by them driven into the hole and
suffocated. Farmers who have straw
stacks would do well to prevent these

About winter Feeding.

Country Gentlemen.
Your journal seems a medium of ex-
change for agricultural opinions, and
while your enterprising readers are pass
ing in their advice, give me room for
word. Corn or no corn is not all that
need be settled to establish the whole
subject of feeding, and in fact the most
common error is IN suppOsingthat If corn
in proper quantity is supplied, the flock
has been fully attended to. [ am very
fond of all my live stock, and am uneasy
if they seem to lack for good care, partic-
ularly during winter; but to obtain that
attention for my poultry, am obliged to
do it myself So can tell your readers
just how I do it, and not ask them to lis
ten to any loose theory regarding the
best way. The poultry house has outside
shutters, which, when removed at sum
rise, give the birds the first notice of day,
and experience has shown that in this
sleepy state they eat poorly, so they are
then served with fresh water, not cold,
but tepid, and cabbage, mangOld or tur-
nip which will call the sleepy ones from
the roost. The morning meal, given
half hour later, consists of the con-
tents of a tin boiler into which has first
been thrown a small handful of salt.
then peck of vegetables, potatoes, tur-
nips OF carrots. This pail spends the
day and night upon the rear part of the
kitchen range, and to tits added the appro-
pirate scrapings and refuse from the ta-
BILE, not admitting all grease and bits of
waste meat. This thorough cooking re-
duces it almost to soup, which is taken to
the feed room and made thick enough to
be eaten without soiling the plHmage of
the birds. A variety is used In this last
mixture; fine wheat bran and middlings,
ground oats, corn meal, malt sprouts, and
a little linseed or oil meal, which had
best been added while the kettle is
upon the fire. This mixture is varied
from one week to another, in order to
maintain a good appetite, and as much is
given them as they will eat clean, any
left being removed from the troughs.
Here let me say that cleanliness in feed
ing seems all essential. Provide troughs
for such feed, and have enough room
around them, so there shall benO crowd
ing and tramping in the food. About
noon like to give them four quarts of
corn ON the ear, broken so that they can
pick it of. They will do this thorough
ly to the last kernel. For an evening
meal, say at four o'clock in these Deem
Der days, they have four quarts of whole
grain, good sound Wheatand corn mixed.
This brings them to their roCsts. and
with Well-flled crops they are in good
condition to stand cold nights if they
come. 4 solution of copperas Doug
las mixture) Is kept in jug, and added
to the drinking water once or twice a
week. This feeding is given to a flock
of fifty pullets, pure-pred Houdans, ex-
cept few others bought for sitters.
can say that sick fowl is almost un-
known. Each season a few. birds are
BACKGROUND through over-fatness-
and Just how to avoid this I cannot tell,
for some birds seem prone to lay on fat,
and my comfort is believing that such
birds, if spared, make poor layers. EDGE

The Plague of his Life.

''That girl has done nothing but pro-
woke and annoy me ever since she came
from school three months ago I wish,
Carrie, you would send her away some
where-anywhere out of my sight. She
is the plague of my life"
Miss Carrie Ives looked pleasantly MP
from her reading, her plump finger mark
ing the paragraph that had been inter-
rupted by her brothers impatient speech.
"Why, Fred, what has the child done

His fine, pale, grave face flushed a lit
tie, and half confused expression came
into his serious gray eyes.
This is the young vanda's latest

he said, with short laugh of chagrin as
he pushed toward her big volume of
some abstruse work and turned the fly-
leaf

familiar and scholarly attitude in his
leathern chair before his library table

fully from his large shoulders-and the

was too cOnsummate a resemblance to be
gratifying, and altogether too exact for

IN the least exaggerated the peculiarities
of Frederick Ives, for he had his own
little eccentricities and mannerismns
Just as we all have, if we chose to- admit
the fact

Posslply," he returned in that half
mortified, half angry manner; 'sand /
dare say 1t may be good for man to see
himself occasionally as Others see him.
But this sort of embellishments is NOT
precisely desirable in a valuable book OF

Just then a dark, swift something
rushed past the window outside. 1t was
only handsome, smiling girl riding q
superb black horse rapidly up the gray,
eled path toward the stables; but at the
sight Carrie uttered quick cry of sur
