Care In Raising Poultry.

Most farmers read the poultry jour-
nails or articles on poultry in our farm
papers with great many mental
reservations. especially when the ques-
ton of profit is treated. As general
rule the conditions as to market are
not SO favorable on the farm as 1t is to
those who constitute the majority OF
our poultry writer's. They are gener-
ally breeders OF thoroughbred stock
and live close to the best markets, de-
vote their whole time to the business
and have the inside" us to both quail
ity and prices. But aside from these
we judge the difference in profits is
accounted for principally in the Ques-
ton of care. We often hear it said
iii we only got the prices" of some
supposed favored locality "then we
could make it pay largely" But they
forget tn t generally where large
prices are received, large expenses
in raising are found. Now the
most pertinent points are the care
in setting the hens and OF the chicks
until they are at least month old.
The common f.ults are setting hens
whore they are constantly disturbed
by the laying ones; not examining the
eggs to see if they are fertile, result
ing in a comparatively small hatch
and many of these killed in the nest.
The little chicks receive the vermin
from the mother, weakening IL not de-
stroying many of them; they are trail
ed about in the dew, caught out in
many showers. in fact the disasters to
the young chicks are legion in num-
bers.
Now first the nest boxes should be
SO arranged that they can be slipped
from the laying room through the
partition into a quiet apartment
where nothing but the other setting
hens and the attendant enters. Here
feed and water with other pecessaries
are kept, and only an occasional
outing Is ever necessary, and but little
OluttWlSC Is uCcutu
the chicks are twenty-four hours old.
Fanciers have much TO say as to their
food, but we take it that there is no
special secret here. II the mother is
lousy, as is apt to be the case, If care
in very special manner has not been
given to house and fowls, put as much
kerosene, on it and lard mixed, on the
heads of the chicks as will adhere to
to the forefnger in two or three Dip
pings, as you take them from
the nest to the coop. Without
the mother is known to be n
very careful one, it is better to
keep them confined in coop in a dry
place, frequently moving it, and in all
cases they should be cooped during the
mornings, nights and in wet and cold
weather BY giving them at least this
much care, the per cent of loss may
be reduced very much.

Little Things,

A cup Of water timely brought,
An offered easy chair,
A turning of the window blind,
That all may feel the air;
An early flower bestowed unasked,
A light and cautious tread.
A voice to softest whispers hushed
To spare an aching head
oh, things like these, though little things
The purest love disclose,
As fragrant atoms in the air
Reveal the hidden rose.
