other grease, which will do much to
keep them in good condition. When
stoves are taken down in the spring

pieces may be attached by wire.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

fl is sometimes necessary to assist
ducks out of the shells, but rarely if
ever chickens.
SIZE and condition count for more in
market than any particular shade or
color, especially with young poultry.
OLD ducks, if kept in good condition,
rarely, if ever, get lousy: the oily
nature of their feathers preventing this.
IF the young growing turkeys show
signs of leg weakness mixing little
bone meal with their food will be found
an advantage.
Ducks intended for market should be
Matched out early and be crowded from
the start; those intended for breeding
can be Matched later
DUCKS do not have the cholera, Group
or gapes, and hawks do not bother
them; they will lay more eggs and the
eggs will hatch better than hen eggs.
In many cases hens can be more
easily induced to set if they are placed
upon the eggs as soon as it is dark,
rather than in the morning.-St. Louis
Republic.
WHILE old hens usually lay larger
eggs than pullets the shape of the egg
has little or nothing to do with the life
germ, and If the broad end is smooth
and the egg is properly fertilized it
will hatch.

German
Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. "I am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me SO long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since. !"

they can be easily taken apart. This

Shake the bees from the limb into
the sack, turn it over, and no bees can
escape; carry them to the hive; take
the cover off ard gently lay the sack
on top of the frames, SO the bees can
crawl out of the sack down into the
hive.
Sometimes a swarm will leave their
new home. To make a sure thing of
their staying, give them a comb con-
tanning brood and honey from the
parent hive. l have never had a swarm
to leave when thus treated.

INFIDELS I'M NEW YORK.
