Sale Food for Chicks.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican says: I have been in the
hen business over five years; thee years
ago 1 raised 164 chicks, and never lost or
even had one sick. L feed One-half
corn meal and one half shorts mixed up
with warm water. AS soon as the chicks
appear I put down a small quantity of
the mixture and the mothers soon teaches
them how to eat. If I have it, mix the
food up with sour milk, and give it to
them to eat the same day they are taken
from the nest, for 1 always noticed that
chickens Will pick for something to eat
within a few hours after leaving the
she'll. My chicks are always strong, for
L select eggs for setting from the best
and strongest 2-year- old hens. I speak
of my experience three years since, as 1
have never tried to raise so many since,
as L have not much land. The 1S4 chicks
spoken of were raised in a yard measur-
ing fifteen by eighteen feet. Out of
that number / had over one hundred
pulIets, and marketed the rest as soon
as they weighed three or four pounds.
Still, 1 never should attempt to raise
that number again in the same yard, for
it was too small and the hens acquired
the habit of feather picking; since, 1
have not crowded them and all goes
we'll. The trouble in raising chickens
mainly comes from giving them clear
corn meal, which constipates them.
Give One-haIf bran or shorts" as we
call it, and select your eggs from strong
hens and see no need for failure, pro-
viding there is not neglect in some
other direction. Chickens require TO
be fed often, say once an hour, giving a
small quantity or only what they viii
eat up clean. Clean water must Of
course he given.
Another writes: About the middle of
last May I set hen of the Plymouth
Rock breed, on fifteen eggs, and in due
time she came off with fifteen chickens.
The chickens were fed with scaIded
wheat bran and corn meal mixed about
half-and- half, and allowed to run with
the hen. They all lived and thrived
greatly, and were all of good size when
1 parted with them about the middle OF
October. My experience the year be-
fore with the same treatment was nearly
the same, though the hen did not hatch
all her eggs.

About Coach Horses.

ABOUT OOaSAA ElOESGSs
That experienced and successful Wis
consin breeder, Mr.. A. o. Fox in a
recent Breeders Gazette says: The
mares which we have within our reach
to breed cOachers from are lacking more
in size and bone than in any other
quality. TrOtting- bred mares can be
found in nearly all sections with fair
and fine In the bone. 1t is fair to as
sumo that in breeding for coachers the
majority of breeders will use this class
of mares because the most common and
easily obtained Few can afford to i'm
port or buy the imported mares. When
they can be found there are probably no
better mares than our largest trOtting-
bred mares, but they are now held in
such high esteem that they are quite as
high priced as the best imported mares.
In selecting our sire, therefore, for
crossing upon these medium sized
mares we must look sharp for plenty of
size and an abundance of broad, clean
bone. He must at four years old stand
sixteen to sixteen and One-half hands
and weigh in plain flesh 1890 pounds or
more. His color must be clear and rich
and without bad marks. His shoulders
should slope gracefully back, and he
should stand we'll up IN the Wltherss
He should carry a lengthy, well-arched,
neck, surmounted by a Clearly CHS
eled head free from meat. He
should have a clear, full expressive
eye and the visage of a thorough
bred. His back should be of medium
length, net too much inclined to arch,
and coupled strong in the loins to a
long, smooth hip. His tail should come
out well up and float gracefully behind
when in motion. He should have a
good depth of girth and well-sprung
barrel. His limbs and feet should be
absolutely sound, not too long between
the Joints, and not too straight in the
hind legs, that he may have his feet
we'll under him, and an easy, graceful
hook action. His action should be high,
bold, and square, and with sufficient
speed to roll off eight to twelve miles an
hour with ease and grace. His dis
position should be spirited and in
telligent If in making this selection
we can find predOminance of these
qualities in high-bred American
trotter, with the ability to reproduce
them, I believe we nave the best to be
had. If, on the other hand. we are to
look abroad among the European breed
Of coachers for our sire we must keep
clear of the thick-chopped, meaty-
hooked, dEafty sort, and look sharp for

Hybrids All.

DR.. Vance says: My CarniOlans turn
out to be hybrids, and too cross for any
comfort. I can't go among the hives
without having one or more darting at
my head, and often singing me. They
also attack persons passing one hun
bred feet from the hives. Fearing that
they might annoy my neighbOrs too
much, sent to Indiana for queens OF
the "Simonpure" Italian stripe. They
came on July 9, and were successfully
introduced on the 10th. I removed the
queens (hybrids), and immediately
placed the italian queens in the hives,
I did it accOrdingtO Mr.. DOOlittle's plan,
which is about as follows:
1 made wire cages (three) about three
inches square and quarters of an
inch deep, and first removing the queen
from the hive, I took a comb Of brood
with some honey into my bee-hOuse and,
laying it on q board, let the queen es-
cape from the mailing cage into ny in
Producing cage, and, pressing it down
into the comb sufficiently to hold il,
hung the comb in the hive. Each queen
was introduced in the same way. They
were left undisturbed for two days, and
when the hives were opened two were
found liberated from the cages and ac-
eepted. One was found still in the cage.
/ cut a small hole In the comb opening
into the cage, and returned the comb to
the hive. I have no doubt that this
queen also viii be accepted, after the
bees have liberated her.

FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.

The trying Ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devOtees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
duranee Of the most robust Irregular and
late hours, OYer-Fich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air of the lIy-ventiIated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health Of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined, they can hardly fail, If persisted In,
to seriously impair the health Of the hardi-

endurance than their male cOnsorts, and so
the sooner succumb to these deleteriOUs in

debiitated, and constantly experience a

Lice on Poultry.

The experienced eye of one who has
been up IN the poultry business can de-
tect lousy poultry at first sight. No
matter how few lice are on them they
viii snow it, and can never be compared
with poultry entirely free from these
Vermin. Not many years ago, II was not
an uncommon thing among some of the
farmers of this State to find their cattle
lousy. What would any one who has
any pride whatever in his business think
of being told that his stock was lousy.
Well, just so with the poultry, about 50
per cent. of which at the present time
are not laying eggs, and hardly paying
for their feed, from the fact that the
lice torment them so much that it takes
up all their time sitting stupidity around
trying to free themselves from the
pests.
7 know, but how am to get them
free from lice? L have WhiteWashed the
hen house, coal oiled the rOOsts, scat
tered lime, given them sand baths, did
everything I could think of, and feel
sure my poultry are free from lice.
But to prove the test, catch some OF
your poultry and examine them closely,
and behold, you viii find they are still
there.
Yes, they have come to stay unless we
adopt some strenuous methods to keep
them off. Now, let us consider the
matter a little, and we viii soon dis
cover that the lice are after the poultry
and not after the hen house, rOOsts or
the nests. Yes, know all about that, +"
is the expression of nearly ali. Well,
then, if we know all about it, why don't
we make the poultry so offensive that no
lice dare come near them, by applying
the destroyer directly to the poultry,
and we have solved one of the greatest
obstacles in the poultry business

Many Of the imported horses which are
offered to us are very uneyenly balanced
in their action and are not level They
may lift themselves square in front and
appear we'll when approaching, but
when once their hind end is turned
there is noticed a lifeless swinging OF
the hind parts entirely out Of keeping
with their forward motion; in others
with hook action almost to the extent of
stringhalts we see a stiff bending of the
knee and bad dishing In front In many
the tail is set on too low in the rump,
a very bad fault in a carriage horse.

Blue Grass In wisconsin.

Mr.. McThOm, Wisconsin, writes:
would like to ask some experienced
farmer in Wisconsin, how Kentucky
blue grass viii thrive in this northern
country, and if it would be good man
agement to SOW it upon snow, and is it
as good hay as timothy, and as pasture
and as hay after cut. Mr.. George Nc
kerrOW answers:
Blue grass in Wisconsin Is one OF our
best pasture grasses and seems to be
naturally adapted to all our clay soils,
coming INTO all old pastures, and taking
possession after a time. 1t makes a
good hay when cut and cured early, but
as both clover and timothy are heavier
troopers we prefer them. As a pasture
grass it leads all our grasses in the
spring and holds out longer in the fall.
An old blue grass pasture allowed to
make a good growth in the fall, is an
excellent place for brood mares and
breeding ewes to take exercise in dur
ing the winter, and viii be found a pay
ing investment when colts and lambs
are coming strong and healthy in the
spring, instead of weak and sickly, as
they often do when their dams are con-
fined to yards and stables during the
winter. The seed can safely be sOwn
in early spring, either on the last snow
or in the mud. When used in a mixed
seeding, for either hay or pasture, it fills
an important place, and Wisconsin
farmers are fast plOnOuncing In its
faVOr.-FGrnl, Field and StOcbmGTI.

Foul Brood.

Here is a simple remedy for the cure
of foul brood. Take two or three
spoonfuIs of sulphur, put it in an old
fruit-can, and pour over it enough kerO-
sene oil to make thin paint of it. APP
ply it with a small paint brush to the
combs that have the diseased cells in
them; brush them all over with the sui
phur and oil. It will kill some of the
healthy brood, but not all of it; also
brush it over the frames and as much Of
the hive as you can without getting it on
the bees.

A most convenient kitchen cabinet or
table, said to have been designed by
woman and made by her husband, should
have a place in every kitchen. The
table, which is of hard wood is cblOng
in shape and not very high, Tt con-
tains four drawers, two at one end Of
about the same size, a long one in the
middle, and a fourth small drawer at the
other end. These drawers are to be used
for silver polish, soaps, securing ma
terial, brushes for silver and glass, for
dish towels and cloths, and the countless
other small things needed in dish-wash-
ing and baking. There are also several
shelves and open compartments OF dill
ferent sizes for holding the kneading-
board, rolling-pin, etc. But the special
feature Of the table is a high back like
that attached to a plain sideboard or
cOmmOde, against which are fastened at
either end cranes to hold the Jelly bag
or other substances that must be filtered,
the cranes being 50 arranged that they
may be turned back against the table
when not in use.
Fastened against the back of the table
are two very narrow shelves, containing
openings Just large enough to hold in
place the various knives, forks and
spoons used in cooking, which are sus-
pended in them vertically. In the CEN
ter of the back is a small closed cabinet
in which may be kept the COOk-bOOks
and other kitchen memoranda, the door
! of the cabinet being provided with a
rack where the cookbook may be held
securely and open at the right place.
Such cabinet is of great value in saw
ing both time and many weary steps,
! especially for those mistresses who
have no maids, or in flats, where every
inch of room has to be counted. By its
side should be chair of convenient
