THE YARD
Poultry Notes.


CHICKENS are as perverse as PEOPLE,
and just us a man will often drink vile
liquors when he can get pure sweet
water, SO fowls will often abandon their
drinking vessels and slake their thirst
at some dirty puddle. With them as
with human beings, prohibition is the
only safeguard.
The condition of the comb of a fowl
is the best indicator of It's health. II
should be bright in color, and shaking
with every activity of the bird. These
signs nre q good guide MS to health.
With this condition of comb YOU will
discover the utmost activity in your
fowls, starting ut every sound or mo-
ton.
To s~TIsAIGITEN the spike on q comb
OF q chicken, soften the comb with lard
and you will be surprised how easily
you can pull it to its proper position. 1t
may require more than one application,
but usually one is sufficient. Young
birds are referred to. We have not ex-
perimented with older, but it should at
least benefit i'll either case.
THERE is no doubt that hens will lay

and their eggs keep MS long if not
longer by being unfertilized, but is it
not true that the presence of a male bird

in large quantities and expense will be
diminished. 1t is better to feed less
and moro frequently than to allow food
to go to waste by giving too much at a
time. Have o fixed time to feed and give
lust What they Gun eat up clean and no
more. This is q point worth considera-
ton, for feeding chickens improperly
cannot result in benefit to themselves Of
profit to the owner.
BRAHMAs by careful breeding and mat

the close and accustomed observer who
cannot be deceived, for.the generallook
and carriagotell the tale. At feeding
time the fowls will generally all come
in a huddle to eat, and oil appear to eat
greedily. The time to seek out the ail-
ing bird is when the flock is in quietude.
When fowls are in this state observe
them closely. All the we'll ones will be
trimming and dressing their feathers.
The one that remains moping behind
and does not trim its dress Is ailing and
many times beyond aid or recovery.

WORDING breeding nf.r,..

The mare that is bearing a colt is apt
to be either ovcrworked or not get

is the more serious evil. If the horse

will not take the breeding mare out of
the stable except for water. She is not
fast or snowy enough for pleasant driv-

PRoF. AUSTIN PHELPS, of Andover
Seminary, is q careful student of cur
rents and forces within and without the
church. He has recently written to
the President of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, thus: "Ihave been
so deeply interested i'll the new move
ment creating societies of Christian
Endeavor,' that I am moved to express
to you, unsought, my cordial sympathy
with it. It is the only movement which
has met adequately q peril to which our
churches for many years have been en-
posed. I mean the absorption of
churchly forces in methods of useful
ness outside of the church, and some of
them ignoring its existence. This
movement Of Christian Endeavor'
seems admirably fitted to counteract
that danger. I am grateful for it. The
rapidity of its success is proof that it
was needed. Earnest believers were
waiting for it,"

An intelligent physician has discov-
cred that color blindness is very rare
among girls, though it is common
among boys. From this fact, he draws
the conclusion that, in most cases, color
blindness is due to want Of early educa-
ton in discriminating colors. I Girls
are taught to become familiar with
every shade of colors, while boys re-
ceive no instruction whatever on the
subject. Hence, boys frequently ex-
hibit an ignorance in colors which is
COMPOUNDED with true color blindness,
which girls rarely show.
