Too Much Feed in Summer.

The feeding of grain during thesummer
season is simply supplying the body with
that which is not required-heat-an
does more harm than benefit. The nat
ural instinct of the fowl prompts it to for
age and seek it's food. By SO doing va
riety is obtained, the food is more evenly
balanced and larger proportion of the
elements thatcompose the egg are secured.
When the hens receive grain they will not
forage, and the lack of exercise allows
them to become overfat lin which condition
they will lay but few eggs. 1t is more eco
nomical to omit feed in very warm wealth
er, and conduces to the health of thefowls.
AS insects, seeds and all kinds of tender
herbage, contribute to the ration offowls
they can secure more food than they can
consume on a moderate range.

When to Begin the Incubators.

October is early enough, but much de-
pends upon the object desired. AS we
have stated before, the best prices cob
tanned for early broilers, and six weeks
time for their growth will answer for those
that are sold when very small. Beginning
with October they would be ready by De-
cember, as three weeks must be allowed
for Incubation This is too early for the
demand, but something can be gained by
using Bantam cocks, which prevents the
chicks from becoming too large before
the proper time November is better
month, therefore, where the ordinary hens
are used from which to procure eggs, but
Plymouth Rock cocks should be preferred
forcrossing. The earliestchicks wiIlreach
the market by February, and should not
exceed dthree-quarters ofa pound in weight.
In fact, half a pound during the month of
February is sometimes the preferred
weight. The chicks are sold alive, but
are subjected to the influences of cold
weather during shipment. 1t is these
drawbacks that make the pri ces high, and
hence many of thesupposed obstacles may
be considered blessings.
During March the weights vary from
three-quarters OF a pound to a pound,
and the prices are usually the bestin April.
Do not ship before the market is ready.
There is such a thing as shipping toosoon.
Always make inquiries before shipping.
The prices may range anywhere from so
cents to $1.O0 per pound. Hens cannot
be relied upon to sit, as one must wait
until they are inclined to do so; but even
with all the influences in the way of incu-
bators, they more than pay for themselves
by enabling poultrymen to hatch chicks

Profits of the Duck Business.

After had learned to grow ducks quite

a Kemp spreader to work over the ma

but simply as machines to convert my

same yards year after year, my landw would
eventually get poisoned, and then disease

two crops OF ducks and two crops ofeither
rye, barley or oats. My land therefore,
instead of being poisoned, is growing
richer. Plum trees have also been set i'll
the duck yards, and yield handsomely.
Nor is the market for ducks flooded, as
the demand is far in excess OF the supply,
and marketmen are willing to pay 2cents
to cents per pound more for my arti-
ficially grown ducks than they will pay
for stock grown in the natural way.

Poultry Notes.

A large number of young cockerels in
the yards with the hens and pullets are a
nuisance and should be thinned out just
as soon as can be done.
Turkeys will do better on the range now
than if kept in any other manner. Ifcon-
fined they will not thrive but lose flesh.
They can secure the whole of their food
at this season.
Young pullets that were Matched late
will not lay in winter if they do not ma
ture by November, but will begin early in
the spring. Force them in growth, so as
to have them begin late in the fall.
Dressed poultry brings higher price
than live fowls, can be sent to market at
less cost, and the loss is but little from
shrinkage. Live fowls often die on the
journey to market at this season.
Whitewash may be applied as often as
is necessary. To improve it adda pound
of -four and four ounces of glue to every
bucket of whitewash. To guard against
lice add a gill of carbolic acid to the MKT
ure.
The guinea is not saleable in market,
but there is no fowl that is a greater deli
cacy, and they may be keptfor home pur-
poses with profit. 1t is equal to many
kinds of game birds in flavor of flesh, and
laws a large number of eggs.
When you see hen droop from no ap-
parent cause, and the chicks become
drowsy, look on the heads and necks and
under the wings for the large lice. The
smalpred mites are seen in great numbers,
but it requires a search to disclose the
larger ones.
The family cat will allow the chicks to
roost on her back and eat from the same
dish with her but when the darkness of
night comes on she will eat every chick
she can catch. 1t is the cat that stays
with the chicks, and pretends that she is
their friend that does the mischief
If grass is ischopped into half-inch lengths
it is the best and most desirablef food that
can be led at this season. Where the hens
areconfned they will thrive better on some
kind of bulky food than on that which is
more concentrated. In winter there is
nothing equal to chopped clover hay,
scalded, for poultry

There are travelling elOcutionists who
afflict tie rural districts. Their pathos
is of a sort to make folks howl, and their
humor is sad load to carry.
They have sounded the whole gamut of
bad taste. There is nothing natural in
their intOnatiOns, gestures or facial ex-
preSSions. They are vulgarly theatrical.
They asSail the sweetest creations OF hu-
man genius and profane them.
These fellows have not trace of gen
uine sensibility. They are as incapable
of sympathetic contact with true fun as
with sorrow. Usually endowed with an
abnormal amount of cheek and a prepos-
ferrous cOnceit of their own gifts they as
say to do without stage accessories and
without genius, featS from which Booth
and Jefferson would shrink.
1t is one of the most painful exhibitions.
and it misleads many into vicious notions
of correct reading and diSseminates false
ideas of art.

PEARLS AND SEALSKINS

New York Tribune.
The claim to supreme jurisdiction in
Behring Sea has been raised by the Uni
ted States Government for the sole pur-
pose of protecting the fur-fisheries. 1t
is noteworthy that England has virtual
ly acted upon the same principle in con-
trolling the pearl fisheries in the Gulf of
Mana. Many of these fishing banks
are forty miles from the coast of Cey-
lon, and those nearest the island are not
less than six miles. These shoals all lie
outside the three-mile limit of maritime
Jurisdiction. If the principle contend
ed for by the Victoria poachers in Behr-
ing Sea were practically applied to the
broad gulf, nearly 400 miles wide at the
longest reach, through which rolls the
full sweep of the Indian Ocean, vessels
of every nationality would be at liberty
to engage in these valuable fisheries.-
But during the last eighty years British
officials have exercised supreme control
over these fishing banks. Only English
boats have been allowed to cruise, trade
and fish in these shoals. Vessels flying
other flags are not permitted to share
the benefits of these fisheries. The Brit
ish Government, moreover, derives a
large annual revenue from these fish
cries, precisely as the United States Gov
eminent receives a handsome rental for
the privileges of sealing on the islands
of st. Paul and St. George.
The Gulf of Manar, in which the fish
cries lie, is an acknowledged interna-
tional high sea several hundreds of miles
in width at its widest expanSe. If the
three-mile jurisdiction line were rigidly
drawn these valuable fisheries could not
be controlled by British officials. The
high seas are dominated in this instance
for the express purpose of protecting the
fisheries. On the coast of Australia
there are similar shoals more than six
teen miles from land which are pearl
fisheries. These banks, while outside
the recognized limits of maritime juris-
diction, are under exclusive British con-
troll. These are the same high seas of
the Pacific which, according to the Can
adian contention, sweep through Behr-
ing Sea, and are free to the vessels of all
nations. These seas are controlled as
Australian waters. The pearl fisheries,
moreover, are exclusively British inter
ests, whereas England has as much at
stake in material sense as the United
States in the protection of the fur-seal
fisheries from unlimited poaching, which
will destroy them altogether The
Alaska sealskins are dyed and dres sed
in London, where the industry is most
profitable one, offering employment for
a large number of workmen.

SENATOR sHERMAN's VIEWS.
PARIS, July 13, 1889.

PARIS, July IL, 1889.
My DEAR SIR-Your interesting letter
of the Both, with Enclosures, is received
and read with attention. l have been OBJ
servant of the proceedings of the Conven-
ton at Columbus, and am entirely salts
fed with the result.
The nomination of Governor Foraker
came naturally from the division of opin-
ion among the delegates as to other can
didates. In the conditions shown the
Convention wisely selected a candidate
who has already made three brilliant can
vases for the same Office, and has shown
marked ability as an executive officer as
well as speaker.
What is needed now is hearty, earn
est union of all Republicans to secure the
success of the ticket.
l sincerely trust that no friend of mine
will revive or recur to the differences of
opinion in the Ohio delegation in the
Chicago Convention. All that is spent
powder, and, while our Democratic friends
may seek to create prejudice and division,
our duty should be to unite, and to dis
courage all prejudice or contention.
Some disappointment and discomfort
may grow out of Federal appointments,
but after all the people care but little who
hold the offices if they are good men,
The strong points in the canvass will be
the principles of the Republican party as
contrasted with the want of principle in
the Democratic party, and also the salts
factory action of the last Republican Leg
islature compared with the previous Dem
ocratic one Ohio is Republican State,
and there should be no doubt of the result
in canvass in which so much is at stake.
| will, as matter of course, do all can
to promote the election of the entire tick
ct, and will, after September 10, when
hope to be in Ohio, take such active part
in the canvass as may seem proper and
necessary.
Very truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.

WITH reference to the protection of
Southern products, the Louisville Cour-
ier-JOuTRGL declares ''that sugar alone
produced nearly $60,0O0,O0O of revenue,
and that the duty on raw sugar is al
most purely revenue duty" The char
acteristic of revenue duty which is 80
per cent. of the value of the article
when it is on Southern products so
unique that if the duty had been 100
per cent, as in the case of rice, the es-
teemed COurier-JOurndl would have
considered it "quite purely" revenue
duty.
