WEED OUT THE POULTRY.
Now Is tho Time to Gull Out Poor Spec

Now Is tho Time to Gull Out Poor Spec
linens.
In autumn we mustdecidc which ones
of our fowls are worth caring for through
the winter. There usually is at this
time Of the year a miscellaneous throng
in the poultry yards-3-year-old hens
beginning to have the cold biddy" look,
hens in the prime of life, pullets fresh
and pretty, and gawky, half grown crea-
lures full of possibilities. One is puzzled
as to which are the members of such a
flock which will best help him in the
coming season.
The birds must be studied one by one.
Feed them these evenings, i'll long, mar
row line, with cracked corn, which is
"slow eating" While they are quiet
and busy, in single file, their fate can be
settled. Few are the old hens which
should be allowed to live. Only those
with w%ondrously fine points can be
permitted a fourth season. Some radi-
calls in poultry keeping will have no
hens over 1 year old, but they lose much
in the 2-year-olds. Hens are then at
their best and lay their largest eggs.
To select the right pullets is most per-
picking. Not many of them have yet be-
gun to lay, so that we do not know their
powers i'll that respect. We must trust
to the egg record of their families, and
to the general indications of IL good
layer-the full shape, conceited carriage
and capable look, which distinguish the
hen worth having.
If careful breeding is to be attempted,
the novice is apt to think that he must
Gull his flock according to "points,"
with his copy Of The Standard of Ex-
cellence in his hand. But he will find
that there are many. queer facts in
poultry raising, and one of them is that
he must often keep birds quite different
from Tho Standard, in order that their
offspring may possess the points men
toned therein.
Tho Standard is of practical use in
%discarding chickens to Il who has nc
ambition for Clancy b%rceding," but aims
to supply the constant demand for well
marked specimens of the different
breeds at a moderate price. He cal

100 Acres Cultivated.
l'ccdiE. Lambs,

NN uAO
The object of this experiment was to
present an object lesson OH the profits Of
the liberal feeding of lambs that are in
tended for the market.
Two lots of sheep and lambs were fed
i'll a radically different manner. The
ration of lot nj was intended to be an in
tensive rati' n or u copy Of the method
that is used for forcing the growth Of
early lambs. On the other hand, lot two
was fed in a manner similar to that
which is adopted by many farmers who
consider the sheep to be an animal that
a be successfully fed on the refuse of
a barn without the addition of very
much grain.
The sheepoflot one received what good
hay they would consume and a pound of
grain each per day. Besides this the
pen was so arranged that the lambs had
access at all times to a supply of mixed
grain. The sheepof lot two were fed one
half pound grain per head daily, with
what good hay they would eat. The
lambs of this lot were allowed no grain
excepting what they ate from their
mothers ration.
The following is q summary Of the
results Of the experiment:
First-Two lots of sheep, each con-
tanning ten sheep and twelve lambs,
were fed for three months.
Second-One lot of sheep dot one) ate
5000 pounds of hay and 1,434 pounds of
mixed grain. The other lot Got two) ate
5000 pounds of hay and 450 pounds of
mixed grain. Lot one ate, therefore, 9s4
pounds more grain that lot two.
Third-During the three months the
sheep of lot one lost 104 pounds in
weight and OF two 1856 pounds, a differ
ence in favor of lot one of SO pounds.
The. lambs of lot one weighed $40
pounds and of lot two 364 pounds, a diff
ference in f.'vor of lot one of 1S1pounds.
Fourth-r.he value of the lambs in lot
one was 1914 SO and in lot two $21. "a, a
difference of $32.66 in favor of liberal
feeding, an1 a net gain above extra COST
Of grain Of ss22.47.
Fifth-The extra amount of grain fed
to lot one was sold to the sheep at the
rate of $71.5) per ton. Report of Maine

LAST week the Mandan Pioneer

LAST week the Mandan Pioneer
tried to set us out as being very
untruthful, and in the same para
graph said that every cattleman
who went before the governor
was a supporter of the bill" This
is utterly false as the Pioneer we'll
knows. When we speak of large
cattlemen we mean such as have
from 1000 to 10000 head, and
they were a unit in opposing the
bill. The small owners, having
from 100 to 800 cattle, and who
in many cases till a quarter sec
ton or more of land, were as
unanimous in their support of the
bill.
Speaking of this matter in IN
other column of the same issue,
the Pioneer says:
At Bismarck there was a lobby
consisting OF the following gentle
men favoring bill No. 10, and OPP
posed to the veto: Messrs. Ray,
McGillivray, Quinion, Montague,

The governor vetoed the bill after
it had passed the legislature by
almost a unanimous vote. At the

a bill appropriattng $4,000 for a

is worse than money thrown away

ATTENTION TO DETAILS.

Careful attention to details very often
is the turning point between a profit and
a loss. This is more noticeable where
competition is strong in the farming
line, while prices are low aud fuctuat-
ing. Hence make the best use Of each
day. Have the men do some work that
tells to advantage. Do not let crops go
to waste, but secure them promptly when
matured, look after the stock while at
pasture, give the work animals healthy
food, feed regularly, and do not water
when too warm. If the harness, vehicles
or machinery have any weak points, re-
pair in time and do not wait until a
break occur that may cause hours of lost
time in a busy season. Keep the fences
in good repair, thereby saving your W
crops and keeping on good terms with
your neighbors. Sell crops and stock
when a fair price can be obtained. If a
neighbor has stock for sale cheap and
you have the pasture, or feed, to still
further add to it's value, then make a
deal. Trading sharpens the wits, and
makes one more observant of honest CD.

DRAINAGE.

1t is never out of place nor a waste of

out proper drainage there can be no surely
successful agriculture; and in very many
cases too much dependence is placed
upon natural drainage. 1t is doubtful il
there is any soil that cannot be some

dry, the drains let in the air, from which
the cooler earth abstracts the moisture
to the benefit of the crop; if wet, they
furnish an outlet for the surplus mois.
ture and this benefits the crop. For it
is an undeniable fact that either too lit.
tie or too much moisture is injurious. II
too little, there is no circulation of water
in the soil and the plant o only suffers
from thirst, but staryes for want of
liquid containing available food; if too
much, the plant takes up too much water
and it is too weak in nutriment to fur
nish sufficient food, so the plant literally
both browns and starves. Hitherto very
little attention has been paid to the cir
culation Of water in the soil, but it is
found that this is one Of the most i'm
portant considerations in the growing of
a crop and is beginning to receive earnest
attention from leading scientists. -MIrror

Gains From Re,nl = Habits.

An English scientific philosopher
lately made a half playful, half-serious
defense Of the routine life Of the mao Of
Irregular habits"
He insisted that in this busy age, when
so many duties press upon an active man
and there are 50 many things which una.
voidably call for the exercise. of atten-
tion, judgment and decision every day,
it is the part Of wisdom-a real couser-
walton Of energy and nervous force-to
settle as many MS possible OF the routine
matters by q fixed habit OF life.
There seems to be sense in the suQges-
tion. Why should a man with anything
important TO DO in the word tax tho
gray matter of his brain newly every
day to decide what he will eat or drink
or wear, what his pleasures shall be and
what his recreation, when he shall 20 to
bed and when set upl Having arrived
at years Of discretion aud discrimination,
why can he not 50 order his life as to
have these and kindred things come and
go in n somewhat settled order9
To eat at regular hours the things he
"fnds good Of" according to Bacon's
rule, abstainiug from those that disa-
gree with him; to rise, battle, dress, ex-
erciso, work, rest, recreate and sleep
after a regular order, is not to make a
treadmill of life. It is to lay out a
smooth road for journeying with the
least possible friction and waste. ''To
choose time is to save time" A consid-
cradle proportion Of the worry and waste
OF life comes from a needless jumbling
OF work and clashing Of duties.
Whatever we may think of the meth.
cd, the large majority of men who ac-
complish great things and live to a good
old age are men of regular habits. It
may be encouraging to such to know
there is a scientific basis for their stick
ing to the ruts.-New York World.
