[St. Louis Rapublic.l
KEEP all your pulletS.
SEE that each fowl gets its share of
feed.
WHENEVER you find hen that don't
lay kill her.
II rarely pays to keep hen after she
Is three years old.
PLACE clean pure water daily where
the fowls can help themselves.
BARLEY fed alternately with wheat
makes good feed for laying hens
WELL-FATTENED and we'll dressed
poultry always sell at the best prices.
WHEN the yards will admit keep hens
of the same size and disposition to-
gether.
MEAT scraps of all kinds makes a
good ration for the poultry during the
winter.
PREPARE to breed as many chickens
as possible, as early as possible: they
will pay the best.
THE ral6ings from the barn loft and
the managers are good material for the
hens to scratch over
ONE of the most common WAYS for
the hens learning to eat eggs is leaving
broken eggs in the nest
VARIETY of feed is necessary to Sc
cure eggs. No one ration will furnish
all the needed elements.
BRAN with a small quantity of oil
boiled, made into a stiff dough with
milk, is a good feed for hens
IN raising poultry for market breed
the tlesh-formers, and feed so as to get
the best weight at the lowest cost.
OATMEAL is one of the very best ma
terials that can be supplied to young
chickens to keep them growing.
BATHING in sweet oil is one of the
very best remedies to use on the combs
in case they should get frosted.
UNDER what may be considered over
age conditions fifty hens are as many
as should be kept in one house together.
II severe cold weather it is best to
feed more corn than when the weather
is milder. Corn IS q good heating food.
WARAIISG the water and keeping it
fresh will aid materially in preventing
bowel diseases during the winter: sup
ply it at least two or three times a dav.
IF rightly managed it is less work to
keep down lice in the winter than in
summer, yet they need looking after
fully as much at one season as another.
NEVER suddenly scare nor brighten
your fowls nor allow strangers to go
among them more than you can help.
Kindness is essential to success in keep
ing fowls. 1t is a small matter and
costs You nothing. You must gain their
confidence and keepit. Nothing on the
farm gives better returns than a fine
flock of fowls.

How many people know where the
oldest place in America is situated? Not
the oldest town in the country or ON the
continent. but the oldest land? Well. II
is Mount Marcy. in the Adirondack
mountains. Ages and ages ago, perhaps
. million years. this entire continent
was covered with ice and water: in fact,
there was no continent. Then the
waters subsidized. and a point OF land
made its appearance, and that point was
Mount Marcy. 1t would take too long
to explain how this interesting fact was
discovered but it is vouched for ~
Agassiz and other famous biologists,
ard so it may be believed without ques-

In fact. the highest mountain in New

badly handicapped by a pair of cavalry
boots and leggins that he only reached
about half way up.
The races were over a course little short
of 100 yards. The horse race is a relic of
childhood The contestants straddle pole
capped by wooden horse head, and make
their best possible squirt. r. r. Miller
won the race in two heats in IL 2-5 seconds,
quite creditable time Arthur Nevin won
the sack race with but little difficulty,
while the other contestants were spread out
all over the track, where they gracefully
subsidized after various good endeavors to
keep in the race. The time was Is seconds.
OBSTACLE AND HURDLE RACES.
The obstacle race was won by Clarence
d. Bevington who scrambled through bar
path for IA seconds. John Semple really
came out ahead but jumped over one OBJ
stacle that he should have gone under and
was set back to second place
The three legged race was won by f. r.
Miller and Fred McMillen, who showed
good preparation for such an undertaking.
Their time was 10 seconds. John Semple
showed his speed in the egg race, winning
without the least trouble with Charles d.

in a spoon which was carried in the mouth.
Mr. Semple fixed his spoon so the egg
rested against the cheek and there was no
danger of losing it. The others who were
not so tricky lost their eggs about half way
over the course.

INTO NEW COAL FIELDS.
The Construction of the Moon Run Rail-

The Construction of the Moon Run Rail-
road Being Pushed.
The rails have been laid on the Pittsburg
and Moon Run Railway, and beginning in
the matter of hauling coal will be made this
year. The tipple short distance north of
the Steubenville pike is said to be the most
complete in the United States. There are
six tracks under it. The wagons unload
themselves, and the coal is weighed as it is
loaded 1t is intended to take $50 carloads
of coal out each day, and as the company is
composed mainly of Cleveland men who
want the coal the road will be run to its
full capacity. One object in building the
road was to get from under the dictatorship
of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railway
Company Already nine pits are open and
prepared to shove out the black diamonds
when the signal is given and the coal is of
a reasonably good quality.
The passenger and other freight business,
while not enormous, will likely pay some
what, as at present some people are deferred
from using the Moutour on account Of the
steep passenger fares. Though there has
been reduction of late, yet communication
rates on the Montour are still as high as the
regular fare on through roads. There is one
advantage short roads have over long ones
they can charge as much freight for carry
ing five miles as for 40. It was not ex-
pected by the public that the Pittburg and
Moon Run Railway would do any business
this year, but the rate at which its construc-
ton has been pushed shows that business is
meant.
