Success in the Poultry Yard Dependent on
system.

Success In the Poultry Yard Dependent on
system.
In the care OF fowls no one thing Is
more important than system, says the
Poultry journal. There should be a
daily routine. 1t must be some
body's business to attend to the fowls
punctually at just about the same time
every day-~just as much as it is essen
tial to the well-being of well-ordered
family to have the meals mt regular
hours, the washing done on Monday
the ironing on Tuesday, the baking on
Wednesday, the sweeping on Friday
etc. 1t is Just as essential as it is to
groom the horses, milk the cows, clean
out the stables, feed and water all
around, regularly and daily, week in
and week out.
In moderate weather fowls may
have their morning feed at sunrise, but
in very cold weather it is best to let
them stay on the roosts, where they
are warm, until the temperature has
somewhat moderated. Then the feed
ing room has been swept out small
quantity of feed placed in the troughs.
and the fowls driven off their roosts il
they do not come down of their own
free will. In cold weather warm feed
may be given-boiled potatoes mashed
with Indian meal or any thing of the
kind-and the drinking vessels should
be washed out and filled with warm
water. In moderate weather warm
feed and water are not desirable eX.
cept for fattening fowls.
AS soon as the fowls have left the
roosts, the attendant should take the
perches down, one by one, scrape each
of any adhering dirt, and set them out
side the house. Then the droppings
should be scraped togethir and thrown
into a barrel with all the sweepings:
The dust bath should be examined, any
droppings taken out, and dust added if
necessary. This is about ten minutes
work altogether, At noon the fowls
are fed again. This is usually the best
time to give soft feed, meat, condi-
mental food and green's. The eggs are
taken up, placed in boxes or drawers,
and either the eggs or the boxes marked
with the date. Just before sunset in
winter, and at about six o'clock at
other times, the fowls are fed hard
grain whole, the nests are examined for
more eggs, the roosts are replaced and
the house is made snug for the night.

A Fact.
1Ernn, an interview N V World

From an interview, N. Y. Worldly
In an interview with a leading drug.hou
the N. Y. World, Nov. 9, 1890, gives the fol-
lowing comment on the proprietors OF re-
liable patent medicines:
HE is specialist, and should know more
Of the disease he actually treats than the
ordinary physician; for while the latter
may come across say ffty cases in year
Of the particular disease which this med
icine combats, its manufacturer investi-
gates thousands. Don't you suppose his
prescription, which you buy ready made up
for 50 cents, is likely to do more good
than that of the ordinary physician, who
charges you anywhere from 81 to $40 for
giving it, and leaves you to pay the cost of
having it prepared
has the good sense 10 confine himself 10 or
binary, every day diseases. he leaves t. the
physician cases in which there is immediate
danger to life, such as violent fevers. He
does this because, in the treatment of such
cases, there are other elements of impor-
tance besides medicine, such as proper diet
ing, good nursing, a knowledge of the
patients strength and so on. Where there
is no absolute danger to life, where the dis
ease is one which the patient can diagnose
for himself or which some physician has
already determined, the patent medicine
maker says fearlessly: i have a prepara-
tion which is better than any other known
and which will cure you In nine cases
out of ten his statement is true"
This is absolr tely true as regards the
great remedy for pain, st. Jacobs Oil 1t

that it is n prompt and permanent cure of

OF the value of extensive and judicious ad-
vert sing of any article of undoubted merit
is found in the remarkable success of the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co, which has been
phenomenal, even in this age of great enter
prises.

features prepored T from 70 delicious M fruits M IS n and
health giving plants, one which would be
pleasant and refreshing to the tsiste, as well

States 10 make known to the public the
merits of the new remedy, Syrup of Figs.
AS happens with every valuable remedy,
cheap substitutes are being offered, but it is
becoming more difficult each day TO impose
on the public. Health is too important to be
trifed with, and renutable druggists will
not attempt to deceive, as they all know
that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

The old. old story briefly,
When the sparrow and robin began to sing
And the blowing was over chiefly.
But haste makes waste. and the story sweet,
reasoned, Will keep through the sowing:
TIL drop the corn and plant the wheat,
And give them a chance for growing
Had even told the tale of June,
When the wind through the grass was
blowing.
Instead Of thinking It rather too soon,
And waiting till after the moving.
Or had limited out under the stars
That knew a story worth hearing,
Lingering to put up the pasture bars,
Nor waited to do the shearing.
Now the barn Is full, and 30 Is the bin
But I've grown wise without glory,
Since love Is the crop not gathered in.
For my neighbor told her the story.
