The White Guinea

The guinea fowl, according to the South
ern CuItiUdtor, is a native of Africa and is
sometimes called African Pinado or
Gallenia. They have never outgrown their
wild nature enough to be closely confined
when bred for domestic use. With pro-
priety the white guinea may be called tho
watchdog of the poultry yard. Ever
watchful and en- the alert, it gives the
note of warning on the first approach of
danger.
They are very profitable on farms as they
are industrious foragers and excellent insect
destroyers; will destroy more insects than
all other poultry combined, and are not de-
structive to growing crops. They can BE-
kept without cost, but it would be better to
give them an evening meal when young to
entice them to come up to roost at night.
The white guinea is not a polygamist, and
has but one mate. They are quite domestic
in their habits, and will run with the
chicken hens and lay with them. The white
guinea is a very fine layer Of very richly
favored eggs. As layers they almost rival
Leghorns. They begin early in the spring
aud continue until late in the fall, until
many of the hens have stopped. The eggs
| require about four weeks to hatch. The
young are hardy, and easily raised if given
the required attention. The flesh of the
white guinea, unlike that of its speckled re-
| lation, is very tender and toothsome. AS a
table fowl they come nearer the wild game
birds than any of our domestic fowls. Their
| scarlet-trimmed heads and beautiful snow
| white plumage attract many admirers.
The white guinea grows rapidly, and for
broilers excel young chickens, and farmers
who want to raise something pretty as we'll
as toothsome would do well to raise flock
of these pretty little birds. A few dollars
invested in eggs Tor Matching will well re-
pay them for the outlay.

Profit of Keeping sheep for Mutton.

Profit of Keeping Sheep for Mutton.
In this country. says the Philadelphia
Record, we pay more attention to product
of the Sheep-wool-than to the sheep
With SO much agitation over the wool in
dustry it would seem as if the sheep was in
tended only for the one purpose of produc-
ing wool, when in fact wool is the smallest
product in value derived from sheep. 1t
has been repeatedly shown that by the use
of improved breeds Of sheep lambs can be
made to pay from SIS to $40 each, while the
increased value of the land upon which
sheep have been kept is of itself sum quite
large enough to render sheep-raising profit
able. Experiments recently made at the
Canadian Agricultural Station demon
strate that sheep may be kept for mutton
alone, with profit, but as wool is a necessary
adjunct to the sheep, source of profit is in
that direction also.
In the experiments made accounts were
kept of all the items of cos, including the
shepherds care. original cost of animals, the
use of the mother ewes and the value of
their feeces, as well as food, shelter and in
terest on capital, until the sheep were year
old. Grades and half-bloods were used for
experiment. A half-blood Southdown cost

at 81 40 Its carcass weighed 147 pounds

pound, or SO 30, which shows a profit of

wool at all, the total profit being So 60. A
half-blood Shropshire cost 81 and sheared
nine pounds of wool, which sold for 50 40,
the carcass weighing 100 pounds, its net
profit for mutton and wool being $6 80. A
half-blood Oxford weighed 1877 pounds and
sheared eight pounds of wool, giving total

JUVENILES IN COURT.

On the evening of March 21, as
Thomas, 14-year-old son OF Joseph
Lefebvre of Maple street, and Albert,
o-vear-old son of Joseph Drouin of
Sunmerville, were walking on the
railroad track in Summerville Just
east of the bridge, they were set up
on by three unknown boys and Sc
verelv pounded. The Lefebvre boy
escaped by running but the Drouin
boy was thrown repeatedly upon the
track and finally left exhausted. He
succeeded in getting home and for
few days suffered little or no incon
J venience from his injuries. About a
week later he was taken sick and up
on inquiry, the above facts were
elected. Aphysician was called who
found the boy very seriously injured
internally, and for several days fears
for his recovery were entertained.
The officers were at once notified and
search for the offenders was made,
Dul IlOl ct SluO \oulOi OS lolihti uiIii
Saturday when the Lefebvre boy,
hearing of the serious illness of the
other, described the offenders. Act
ing on his disclosure, Carl, 1O-year-
old son of B. G. Howe, Allie, Swear
old son of X. BOnette, and Isaac,
S-year-Old son of Robert johnson,
were arrested and brought before
Justice Nichols on Monday, the Le-
febvre boy testifying that they were
the guilty parties. All three, how
ever, denied any implication in the
affair and, as the Drouin boy is not
yet able to appear in court, the case
was continued until May 5. B. G.
Howe gave bail for the appearance
of the boys in the sum of $50 each.
These boys are all from respectable
families and if they are innocent, as
all hope they are, it is hoped the
guilty parties may be found. The
habit of pitching into other boys has
resulted seriously once or twice be-
fore and it is we'll that the law has
stepped in to put stop to it.

HORSE BREEDERS MEETING.

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Eastern Vermont asso-
cia ton of road and trotting horse
breeders It Newport last week it was
voted to hold the fall meeting at ST.
Johnsbury, providing this village
would give $500 and the use of the
Fair Ground ST. Johnsbury people
have already subscribed the amount
and the meeting is now an assured
thing. The stock of the various stall
lions will be exhibited in three grades,
sucking colts, yearlings and two
vear-Olds. The owner of each stall
lion shall contribute the amount of a
service fee to each grade to make up
a premium to be divided according
to merit. 1t is thought that by this
method premiums of about $500 will
be secured in each grade, and this di-
vided into three prizes will make a
handsome amount to compete for.
The time for the meeting has not
been fixed but will be given later
