A Word About Incubators.

If an incubator is to be used, and es-
pecially if very early broilers are to be
raised, says The Republic, arrangements
ought to be made as soon as posi-
BILE so as to secure both the incubator
and brooder and have ON hand ready for
use. While an incubator has one ad-
vantage in being always ready for SER
vice, yet it requires more care than hens,
and unless you are willing to put in
some time every day in attending to it
the better plan is to stick to hens.

A Poultry House Described Which After
Several Years Trial Is Recommended
as Combining More Advantages Than
Do Some of the Elaborate Structures.
The home made poultry house depicted
is described as follows by Prairie Farmer:
The main building is IA or 16 feet long
and 81 feet wide. Front post feet high,
rear posts feet high. The floor is p
feet from ground, above which is drop
door, running the entire length of the
building, IS inches wide. Eighteen inch
es below the roof is the window, which
is made by using two pieces of s-inch
ceiling, placed or 10 inches apart, with
the panes of glass slid into the grooves.
They should be placed close together in
winter, but in summer can be slid few
inches apart to admit air. A few Stats
should be nailed back of them to pre-
vent accidents from domestic evictions.
The roosts are feet above the floor,
IS or 90 inches apart, and are secured
at the ends by nails. The Lying room
is attached to the north end, which
affords a double protection to the
sleeping department, besides being very
convenient for q storeroOm. Its advan-
tages are that in gathering eggs or look
ing alter ''sitters" you are in clean
room, and do not have to disturb the re-
maindcr Of the flock. This part may be
made 10 feet long and feet wide, ex-
tending it several feet in front of main
building, to serve as wind break. The
furniture consists of anything at hand
old boxes, half barrels, etc. In the
basement is the winter feeding place.
1t is protection during rain and storm.

POISONED ARROWS OF THE rYcmIEs.
Terrible Havoc and Suffering Caused by
the Weapons of Africans

Terrible Havoc and Suffering Caused by
the Weapons of Africans.
When we first encountered the tribes
who fought with poisoned arrows we
were not prepared to be greatly i'm
pressed with the danger, but we re-
ceived q severe lesson in August, 1887,
during a fight with the Avisibba saw
ages. Young fellows, inspired by the
example of Lieut.. Stairs, r. E., rushed
with brave homicidal intentions to the
front, and the tiny arrows sailed in
showers past them, but some of them
found their intended billets and were
arrested quivering in arms and shout
ders. With contenptuous smiles the
young men drew them out and flung
them away, and some continued an
swering the sava&es with rifleshots,
while others sough. the surgeon, bear
ings. with them the arrows with which
they had been wounded.
When the days fight was over of
course we had more leisure to examine
the missiles, and our anxiety was great
when we observed that they had been
freshly smeared with a brown, gummy
like substance which emitted a subtle,
acrid odor, with a suspicion of asaf9tida
IA L. TIE arrows sec:nSel- to itave-been
plunged into u pot containing a goodly
quantity of n resinous substance, and
twirled around in it and well soaked
and then lifted up in bunch and COW
cred over with barana or q piece of
phrynium leaf Quivers full of the
arrows showed us that the weapons
were considered by their owners to be
dangerous, for those so smeared were
tied together, head downward, and
apart from the oth"-s.
Yet the wounds made by these slen-
der arrows were mere punctures, such
as might have been made by finely
pointed butchers skewcrs, and being
exceedingly ignorant Of the effect, we
contented ourselves with Swinging
them with warm water and dressing
them with bandages. In some instan-
ces affectiOnate men sucked their COM
rades' wounds, to make sure that moth
ing of the substance should be left to
irrltate them. In no instance was this
method of any avail. All who were
wounded either died after terrible suf
ferfngs from tetanus, ordeveloped such
dreadful gangrenOus tuInors as to in
capacitate them from duty for long
periods, or wreck their constitutions SO
completely by blood poisoning that

Maintaining the Fertility of the Farm
In an address before one of the New

tanning fertility of the soil
Rotation viii not save land. 1t puts

equalizas the ratio Of exhaustion. 1t is
said 'tlllage is manure Tillage does not
add any manure. 1t works it out faster.
Weeds are better than bare land. Sum-
mer following is very expensive proc

land. Care land loses its ammonia. Sow
rye in the corn to conserve the fertility.
Naked earth is losing earth. How shall
we make fertility? We can do it by the
purchase of commercial fertilizers; but
this system is too costly, unless for special
crops. Another way is by means of stable
manure. Il have" Mr.. Woodward said,
"banished the word barnyard from my
vocabulary A barnyard is a nuisance.
Ny stable manure paid me last winter,

large enough to pull nicely from in the

Spring DwindIing of Bees.

At the annual meeting of the Inter
national BeeBeepers' association the ques-
ton was asked, us spring dwindling
greater when bees are wintered inside
than out of doors?'' A l. Root said
that when the bees were wintered out of
doors and had chance to fly every
month they came out stronger and were
better able to go through April. E. r.
Root thought that the loss from spring
dwindling was greater when wintering
indoors, as the bees in the cellar were
often suffering from the temperature
being too hot or too coda matter over
which the beekeeper had but little con-
troll. John Nau said that in severe
winters the bees wintered better indoors,
in mild winters out Of doors. He did
not put his bees in the cellar unless the
temperature got very low early i'll the
winter. r. Mcknight had wintered both
ways for about ten years, and found that
they dwindled more when wintered in
the cellar. He thought the cause was
the lack of proper ventilation to the
cellar. He thought the weak looking
condition Of the bees wintered in the
cellar was due to their i'll health, owing
to the lack of pure air during the con-
finement. He thought, however, that in
hard winters cellar wintering could be
carried on with less loss than outdoor
Tintering.
