How TO Make Poultry Keeping Plcasans
and Profitable.

How TO Make Poultry Keeping Plcasant
and Profitable.
In no respect has there been greater
Improvement effected among animals
in the last twenty years than in con-
nection with our barn-yard fowls. 1t
seems, when the improvement effected
is realized, as IL human ingenuity has
been taxed to the utmost to produce
the beautiful and useful breeds that we
now see In every direction. Some are
OF immense size, some are excellent
eating, some lay great number ol
eggs, the eggs OF some are extra large
and Of some the hens are excelen
mothers. All these peculiarities are
the result Of especial effort, and men
have used as much discretion In pro-
ducing these results as other men
have shown in building up distinct
families Of horses or cattle. From
the dainty little bantams to the
burly cochins or brahmas is wide
interval, filled up with many varieties,
all possessing excellence. Here Is a
field that woman should fill and devote
herself to filling it we'll. While the
men are handling larger stock she
should have her stands of honey and
her flock OF fowls. It would do nc
harm to experiment with turkeys,
geese and ducks for variety, especially
II there is water for the ducks and
geese. Poultry raising requires az
much attention as raising larger anil
mails and pays rs much profit. The
wife will often make handsome
profit on the. chickens and eggs, and
should have the spending of the money.
If she would really become interested
in the business and study the different
breeds and their peculiarities, it would
afford much interest as we'll as some
profit To be successful in raising
chickens 10 something to be proud Of
and to be able to show clear profit
by them is a just matter for pride.
Poultry has many enemies, but not
many diseases here in Oregon. To
learn how to keep them free Of
NCt w lcdFu uOW W iOO
1t will require labor and study. What
feed they do best on is another thing
the wife who keeps them must learn.
How to make them lay and how to not
have them set are important points.
There are different ways Of keeping
poultry, and the way you want is the
successful way-the one that keeps
them laying and in good health. There
is no small item Of farm life that pays
better. You should use eggs and chick
ems enough to pay the expense, and sell
$50 or 800 worth Of eggs and poultry
besides from an ordinary flock. To do
this requires genuine ability, but is the
work for woman more than for a
man.
Some people imagine that the old
fashioned barn-yard fowl is good
and hesitate to pay dollar for
\ setting of eggs Of some better breed.
The best breed pays the best, and you
'aise chickens for the pay there is in It,

The Suggestive story Of Good FAfmsfT
Profitable Crusade.
II every thing that grew va already
ftted for mans use the Divine COM
mand (about bread by sweat Of brow)
would be pugatory. Man should
cheerfully shoulder the burden OF
weeds, remembering that 1t is as mucn
his duty to battle with the tares OF the
soil as with the thorns and thistles OF
sin. With this view, the serious can
enter upon the duties Of opening sea-
son with a determined complacency.
Weeds do not grow where seeds do not
exist, hence prevention is the first
step. Get the start in spring and keep
It until too late in the fall for seeds to
mature. IL don't have time" is the
universal response. Such apologists
must plead guilty to one Of two indict-
ments: they are shlftless, or are en-.
deavoring to till more land than they
can till we'll. Either horn Of the d.
lemma suggests its own relief. The
story of how one good husbandman
freed his 160-acre farm OF weeds. and
kept 1t so, and at profit will be OF
interest to the thoughtful. When he
took possession, buildings and fences
were dilapidated, and as a matter
OF course, weeds had almost full con-
troll. His first step was to prevent any
further seeding by weeds. Fencerows
were cleared OF bushes and briars, and
these, together with the roadsides,
margins. fruityard. orchard and past
ures, were moved three times each
season; docks, burdocks, daisies and
some other foul weeds growing in
grain were dug up and destroyed; corn
and potatoes we're hoed by hand three
times. All was done 80 thoroughly
that no weeds were allowed to mature.
Manure was not applied to the land
until 1t had been we'll composted and
the weed seeds decomposed. The sec
ond season the roadsides, fence-cor-
ners and bare spots in meadow and
pasture were seeded with grass and
clover. This farmer was so persistent
in his crusade against weeds that one
time he. found, over a quarter of q
mile from the house, dockroot. which
he could not pull, and he left his hat
by it, returned to the house, and sent
boy with grubbing hoe for dock
and hat. Half an acre of "quack
grass" was exterminated by blowing
several times and raking out the roots
each time. Leaves are the lungs of
plants and II these are not allowed to
grow the roots will decay; hence, a
constant onslaught was kept up as they
showed above ground. How did it
''payp" He raised largely increased
crops and sold all he raised for seed,
because clean, at an average advance
of about ten per cent. He paid $500
for the farm, running in debt for half
the amount, newly fenced it, made over
a mile of open and covered bitches, re-
paired the house equal to building
anew, built large barn, carriage
house and other outhouses, raised
family of eight children, paid tho
balance Of the purchase price, and at
the end Of seventeen years sold out for
$4,000. This never could have been
done by ''shipshod" farming. He had
no high prices for produce to aid him,
for all this happened just before the
war. The farm was three miles from
town, and sold for farm purposes only

Mice In Orchards.

A writer of experience gives pre-
ventive for mice in orchards, which he
affirms Is a sure one. Late In the sea-
son, before the ground is frozen, cut
out all grass near the trunks OF your
trees with a sharp hoe, then shovel up
to them clean soil, hilling up some
what and to extend foot or more
around the trees. and pack with shovel
or trample solid with feet. Mice will
then find no harbor next the trees, nor
will they injure them in any way

IT is estimated that 1t will require
one fourth of Mr.. Harrison's term to
fill the various offices at his disposal
not exactly fill them, but to re.
move one set and appoint another.
This will leave him three years for
the consideration of the affairs of the
nation. The United States is in.
creasing rapidly IN population, and
in not many years there will be twice
as many people and twice as many
offices. Then the president will de-
vote three years of his term to remov-
ing and supplying ce-holders.
And so the nation will grow and the
offices multiply until the entire term
of the president will be taken up in
deciding who shall be in and who
shall be out. Strict observance oil
the civil service law is the only rem.
edy for the evil, but republican
president has about as much use for
such law as hog bias for a holt

In the casting of lots for the long
term of the supreme bench last Sat
urday between Judges Hughes and
Hemingway the former drew the
prize. 1t was done in this manner:
Clerk Campbell prepared two blank
cards upon which he wrote eight
years. and on the other, -four years.
The cards were then placed in sep
arate envelopes, which after being
sealed, were thrown carelessly on the
table. The gentlemen were request
to 'select your choice"
Judge Hughes-Mr. Hemingway,
you select first.
Judge Hemingway-No sir; you
select first.
Judge Hughes insisted that Judge
Hemingway should be the first to
choose of the envelopes. Judge
Hemingway still insisted that the
Tx Governor should be first and
finally he consented.

face turned around, stretched out his
right hand, drew card and handed
it to Clerk Campbell, who broke the
seal. He held the slip in his hand
and read aloud; Eight years"
Judge Hemingway did not draw,
as only one card was sufficient to de-
eide the question.
Judge Hughes received the con-
CALCULATIONS of those present, and
the Court proceeded to business.
He stated to the Clerk that he
would be ready TO qualify Monday.
Judge Hemingway, whose term
is for four years, will not be ready to
