Extracts from an Essay on Poultry RalaIu

Extracts from Essay on Poultry Raising
by q Veteran
From an essay read by DR.. C. Green,
a veteran poultry-raiscr OF forty years
experience, before "a Pennsylvanla
farmers society, are CLEANED the follow
ing points:
Eggs can be increased in size and
richness by proper feediuFof the fowls.
They require a variety of food, and get
excessively tired OF one kind. The hen
ceases laying when improperly fed or
when In a diseased condition. II re-
quires a warm, clean, pEoperly-vonti-
lated house for winter months
II, by neglect, vermin iufezt the bird
roosts and house they should at once be
removed. II dropping OF hens should
not be allowed Co accumulate. The
floors should be covered with loan or
sand.
AS hens require a great deal OF water,
drinking only q small quantity at a
time, it should be supplied abundantiy,
and kept fresh and clean.
The application OF sulphur. sprin-
killed. upon the fowls while roOsting with
q pepper-boX, viii destroy vermiu.
Coal oil applied to the roosts in small
quantities viii also kill parasites. Two
or three drops of whale oil on the back
of hen or other birds viii kin the lice.
The nest must occasionally be renewed.
Straw is better than nay.
As hens require carbonate and Phos-
phate of lime for their shells. it must be
given them in unst!nted quantities and
in the most convenient manner for
them to pick and swallow into their
crops These requirements will be
found in old plasterinE, broken oyster
shells, and, best OF all, in fresh bones,
with some of the gristls and meat at
tachcd-
Hens require in winter green food,
such as grass, turuips, beats or cabbage
leaves. Corn and wheat middliugs,
I corn. EngrOund, oats, bread and other
slops from ths house, should al be fed,
changing as often as twice d week.
Like cows and other stock, harsh
treatment Injuries hens. They like "A
kind master, and quickly know his
voice.
The temperature of "a coop should not
/ be allowed to be lower than - deg in
winter, and should be most OF the time
/ mp to 90 deg.
When eIuclSing, and not needed for

A BIG ConsOL1DAr.oH.


From the Kansas Farmer.
One OF the remarkable cOusUIiduL lions
for which recent years have been noted
was consummated last week in New
York city. For several years the most
of the anthracite coal mi1 es of the
country have been id utified with Ger
tain railroad interests. These have,
however, been under several manage
mcnts, and while, by advantages ia
freight rates, etc, the operators of
these combined interests were able 10
practically crush competitors who
were not in such combinations, there
has been considerable competition
among the great corporations which
had divided among themselves these
great interests Various more or less
successful attempts have been made
TO control the output, to make prices,
etc, but, like other similar cOnibi-
nations, the terms were observed only
WHEN some Sc fish advantage could mot
be gained by either sIyly or openly
,iisregarding the agreement. Tile CON
solicitation Effected last week brings
nearly a. of these great interests into
one under au organization which, while
not i'm the form of trust, - is iuteu-
Jed to have the same effect.
It is stated that no higher price viii
