THE POULTRY YARD.

A box of road dirt, put where the hens
can get at it every day, is necessity if
the hens are to do their best.
If sold by weight fowls should be fed
all they will eat up clean for ten days to
two week before marketing.
Young turkeys are often injured by
feeding too much. They need feeding
often, but only small quantity at a
time should be given.
A little powdered charcoal with the
food will aid digestion and often prevent
disease, especially where poultry is kept
in great numbers.
As soon AS goslings are able to run
about they should be given plenty of
grass. This, with a good feed of meal
and potatoes, will keep them growing.
Young chickens need plenty of water,
and supply of it, fresh and pure, should
be kept where the fowls can help them
selves. If they can have access to all
they want there is no danger of their
drinking too much.
The turkey is tender when young, but
hardy when thoroughly matured. 1t is
necessary to shelter and feed well when
young until they are reasonably well
feathered. After this they can be let
run and will rarely need more than one
good feed day.
Don't get your fowls too fat, and on
the other hand take care that they do
not get too poor. In managing this to
the best advantage either extreme should
be avoided. Feed sufficient to keep in
good, thrifty condition. Less than this
is a loss and more than this is waste.
Perches four inches wide, two inches
thick, and rounded on the top in about
two-foot circle, are the most practical
for the Brahmas, young and old. On
such perch the chicks breast bones
will not become deformed, as they fire.
quently are when the perches are too
small or narrow, with sharp or square
edges.
Sour milk, sweet, " clabbered" 3" milk
and buttermilk, are all excellent for
every sort of poultry at all ages; and
whoever is situated so as to command a
good supply is favored with one of the
elements of success in keeping fowls in
thrift. 1t is especially valuable to- give
to poultry kept up, as it is very nearly
equivalent to insect forage.
Chicks under two weeks old should be
fed as often as every two hours; be care
full and feed no more than they will eat
up each time. The first feed should be
given as soon after daylight as possible;
the last late at night. See that your
chicks have green food; if they are not
where they can reach it, mix it with
their feed-grass chopped fine, lettuce,
etc. A little meat with their food is a
good thing.

OVERDID 1t.

Exchange.
An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by the way the
members of the congregation had got of
looking around to take stock of late
corners. After enduring it for some
time he said, on entering the reading
desk one day:
Brethren, regret to see that your
attention is called away from your re-
ligious duties by your very natural de-
sire to see who comes in behind you.
propose henceforth to save you the
trouble by naming each person who
may enter, and | hope that the services
will then be allowed to proceed without
interruption"
He then began: Dearly beloved"
but paused halfway to interpolate Mr..
St1bbins with his wife and daughter"
Mr.. Stubbins looked rather surprised,
but the minister, with perfect gravity,
resumed his exhortation. Presently he
again paused: " Mr.. Curtis and William
Diggle."
The abashed congregation kept their
eyes studiously bent on their books
The service proceeded in the most order
ly manner, the parson interrupting him
self every now and then to name some
newcomer. At last he said, still with
the same perfect gravity:
"Mrs. Symons, in new bonnet"
In moment he felt his mistake, but
it was too late. Every feminine head
in the congregation had turned around.

POTATO BLIGHT.

Mirror and Farmer
Potato blight or rot develops the most
extensively in moist, muggy seasons,
heat and moisture being favorable to its
growth. Ii is just as much plant as
the potato itself, but is microscopic and
takes root anywhere on the tuber. leaves
or stocks and lives on their tissue. 1t
does not directly cause rot, its presence
being indicated only by discoloration,
but when it attacks the potato it pro-
duces condition which favors the at
tack of destructive fungus, which rap
idly destroys the tissues. The blight
spores are spherical in form, very light,
and float away on the air to alight and
propagate wherever they may find ia
vorable spot. They naturally first attack
the leaves and stalks, but the rain may
wash them down to the tuber, where
they will begin to propagate and pre-
pare the way for destruction. Hence on
the first indication of blight it is gener-
ally considered best to dig the tubers at
once and store them in a cool, dry place,
with as little exposure as possible

AN ENTIRE FAMILY KILLED.
Husband, Wife and Two Children Killed
Instantly-A TwO-Year-OidF Fatally In
jured and Dies in an Hour.

GRAFTON, W. VA, July 2S.-A special
to The Pittsburg Dispatch says: A
frightful railroad accident occurred here
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, result.
ing in the death of five people, members
of one family. Just about the time the
westbound accommodation was due,
William Golden, his wife and three
children started to cross the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near
the railroad hotel, but seeing a yard en-
CINE coming up the road they stopped
to let it pass. Mr.. Golden was holding
his 2-year-old boy in his arms and his
wife their 3-month-old baby.
While Watching the Engine
the passenger train struck the entire
family, instantly killing the husband,
wife and two of the children, and fatally
injuring the boy who was in the fathers
arms, the little fellow dying in an hour.
The engineer of the train signaled, but
the noise of the yard engine prevented
the approach of the train being heard
by the doomed family.

ONIONS FOR POULTRY.

Many utilize one part of the garden
for onion culture expressly for their
fowls. 1t is a vegetable that will act
upon the general health, cleansing as
well as thinning the blood, and all
fowls need this to be in health. Onions
are used in winter as well as summer,
usually chopping them up fine and mix
ing with other food, feeding it in the
morning. Ten bushels will not be too
many to store away in the fall for win
ter feeding for one hundred fowls. The
quantity can of course be regulated by
the number of fowls kept.
