Poultry Yard.

1t is a good plan TO discontinue The
! feeding of corn to the breeding anC
laying stock tiH y oyember. GrounC
oats, whole wheat and barley are gooC
for summer feed.
AS the warm weather approaches
shade must be supplied for the fowls
and chicks, if they are expected tc
thrive. Fowls suffer greatly from
cold in winter, but not so much as
they do from heat in the summer, il
compelled to be under the suns rays
all the time.
No amateur can expect to be sue,
cessful with the best incubators the
first year, and never with a cheap one.
All the fifty cent pieces or two dollar
bills sent to Mr.. Anybody, showing
how to make a center fire incubator,
are lost, and might just as well be
cast into the flames.
The dust bath to the fowl is what
the wash-bowl is to the individual.
With the dust bath the hen cleans her
body. She uses it also for exercise,
When hen is incubating she comes
off as regularly to dust herself as she
does to feed, instinct teaching her
that it is the bestbef methods for rid
ding herself of lice,
1t has been our experience that the
summer Matched chickens have, on the
whole, proved better winter layers
than the early Matched. We have &C
counted for the difference in this way.
Early Matched chickens will begin to
lay at five and six months old, and
keep it up till cold weather comes,
when they drop off and rest up until
about March. The later hatched pull
lets will be ready to begin laying
about the time the early ones leave
off, and given warm quarters and good
care are quite apt to continue through
the winter. The old hens take rest
at moulting time and are ready to be-
gin laying again in December or ear
lier. But with the following treat
ment, fowl with any sort of ambi-
ton ought to produce eggs! One quart
of corn meal to twelve hens, mixed
with boiling water to stiff dough, in
the morning, quart Of skinned milk
in one dish. warm water in another on
cold days, one quart of wheat in the
afternoon, varied as one has other
grain; drink in plenty; graduated
bone, ground oyster shells, old NOR
tar and a dust bath of dry earth or
coal ashes, with a good share of sun
shine, and of course a warm room
day and night. III.

The Profits of Sheep.

George C. Hammond, of Barnard,
VT. gives his experience as follows
"For nearly half century 1 have
owned or had the care of farm stock.
This stock has been the common kind
usually kept by farmers, not registered
high blood stock. [ have received
better returns and made more from
keeping sheep than from any other
stock, and l believe there is more to
be made now by the common farmer
in keeping sheep than in keeping any
other kind of stock, Notwithstanding
the low price paid for wool. | have
kept most of the different breeds of
sheep. First, the ole native, then the
Saxony, shearing about two pounds
Of washed wool; then the Merino,
shearing with ordinary keeping, six
and seven pounds, and the Coiswold,
lighter shearer, considering its size,
and lastly the Southdown. The fleece
of the Southdown is less oily than the
MerinO, of medium length and classed
as a medium wool. | have seen some
full-bloods of this kind from Hon.
Frederick Billings focks that were
very fine animals. The few [ have
kept have been grade Southdowns.
With wool at fifty cents pound the
Merino is the most profitable sheep
for the farmer, but with present
prices of mutton and wool the South
down is more profitable. The South
down is healthier sheep than the
Cotswold and nearly as hardy as the
Merino. They raise better lambs
than any other sheep. They are very
fond of their young and give plenty
of milk. C rods outr down lam 6s
will weigh sixty and seventy pounds
each when three and four months old.
These lambs at this age will sell for
three and four dollars each for NUT
ton. A farmer would realize, includ-
ing wool, some four or five dollars
from each one, which is more profita-
BILE than keeping cows with butter at
twelve and thirteen cents a pound.
The reason Southdown sheep are not
sought after by farmers is on account
of the lightness of the fleece, but con
sidering their other good qualities,
they are the best sheep, especially for
small farmers like myself They
come to maturity young. When only
one year old they frequently raise
good lambs. When 1 first kept few
of these sheep was not we'll satisfied
with them, but by keeping them l be-
came convinced of their good quail
ties"

DtED.-<At his residence in BeIvidet&, of heart
disease, Amos Thomas in the seth yeF of his age.
Captain Thomas. as he was familiarly
called, was a resident of the town Of
Belvidere for the past forty years. He
held many town offices, SUCH as Select
man, Justice of the Peace, &c. He repre-
scented the town at the General Assem-
bly, on two different occasions, and was
man of position and influence. Mr..
Thomas was born in the town of Gufi-
ford, VT, in the year 1900; His early life
was passed i'll that and adjoining towns.
was married to Cynthia " alden at the
age OF y; came to WaterVllle in 1927
and located on the farm now owned by
S: L. Locke. He lived there until 1915,
when he removed to the town of Belvi-
dere, and occupied the same farm until
his death. Mr. Thomas reared large
family, seven boys and four girls. all of
whom survive him, except two: He had
eleven children by his first marriage. His
first wife died in 1917, leaving large
family of small children: For his second
wife he married Mary Ann Chaffee in
1919, by whom he had one child: His
second wife died in 1858. Married his
third wife,, Esther Oaks, in 1859. who
still survives him. The fruit OF this
marriage was one son: Mr.. Thomas
" SCLclOuo ~,
hearted and bold in what he thought
was right; freely gave to the poor and
helped the needy at all times, He was
what is called Jacks0nian Democrat In
politics. He believed the Constitution
should not be meddled with--it was the
supreme law of the land and should be
strictly adhered to- He was strongly OPP
posed to the war and advocated the
rights of the south. But notWlthstand-
ing his pro-slavery sentiments, four of
his sons served in the Union army, and
did good service. One served four years,
two three years, and one one year; all
returned home again, but two will carry
scars made by rebel bullets as long as
they live. Mr.. Thomas always adhered
strictly to his Democratic principles
never was known to swerve for pay or
office. But he alwSgs Spake very highly
of President Lincoln and claimed he was
the smartest and best President since
Jackson. Mr.. Thomas in early manhood
embraced Christianity, and for years did
what he could to advance the cause. He
always believed tina; man should do
right, be kind and gelerous to all, love
his neighbor and do good to all men.
The funeral services were held at the
house, Rev D. II. Watkins officiating.

The manufacturer who hopes 10 hold
his own in the fierce competition
which characterizes modern industry
must of necessity keep a sharp look
out for valuable improvements in
machinery, and must introduce them
promptly when presented. The move
ment of the industries is always for
ward. Thousands of ingenious minds
are continually studying out methods
for making processes easier and more
economical. Every month some kind
of a device for lettering the way OF
doing thing, or for saving a little
labor, is patented. The manufactur-
er who simply ignores these things
and runs along heedlessly in the old
way, with the old devices, will be left
behind and beaten as surely as the
earth rolls around the sun. A mill
built and filled with machinery twenty
years ago, and left unimproved, could
not begin to compete with a modern
mill containing all the new mechani-
cal improvements. And the way to
keep mill property from deteriorat-
ing is to add every important i'm
provement as it is put on the market
The most successful mills are the
mills that do this very thing and they
succeed because they do it.

highly skilled in theoretical and prac-

been knighted by that monarch as q

SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE
Liberty of speech is the right of every
man in this country, but liberty to
murder is the right of none.
The miscreants who come here with
bombs and dynamite, and with the
avowed purpose of killing those who
do not please them, should be dealt
with in the sternest and most relent-
less manner. There is no room for
them in this country, and the places
they occupy cannot be vacated too
soon.
In such a contest as that which has
been provoked in Chicago, where the
crazy fools who are advocating the
slaughter alike of peaceful citizens and
officers of the law, have attempted to
execute their ferocious purpose, there
IS but one thing to be done. They
must be put down with the strong hand
instantly, and afterwards those who
remain alive must be tried and must
have justice, but not mercy.
There is no excuse whatever for
their crime, and the courts and authori-
ties of Illinois may be relied upon to
deal with them as their deserts and
the public safety require.-N. Y.
