Pointed Paragraphs About Poultry.
[American Farmer and Farm News

lAmerlcan Farmer and Farm News.
One fourth Leghorn blood hastens
maturity.
Skim milk thickened with bran is a
good feed.
Plenty of eggs are better than run
ming grocery bill.
Winter laying requires warm quarters
and plenty of food.
A visit to the poultry shows can
easily be made profitable.
The Dorking is good general
fowl for market purposes.
The scraps from the table will
furnish food for a small flock.
Poultry are never properly fed
unless regularly fed every day.
Plenty of exercise in winter is very
essential to good health.
The question of breed must largely
depend on the fancy of the owner.
Every month has its disadvantages
as we'll as advantages in special ways.
Scattering little sulphur in the
sleeping quarters will help prevent
lice.
Give the hens a place for them
selves, and let the animals have the
stables.
One advantage with the incubator
is that you can begin Matching at any
time.
One advantage in feeding poultry
variety is that they will keep better
appetite.
For eggs alone, good early pullets
and thrifty two year-old hens will give
the best results.
Fowls should never be confined in
such close quarters that they cannot
take good exercise.
Do not 60 to an extreme on ventila-
ton it is quite an item in the winter
to keep the fowls warm.
Generally with poultry, as with
other products, the best time to sell is
when they are fully ready.
The quality of the food should be
we'll adapted to the circumstances and
especially to the weather.
Use all reasonable care to keep the
poultry quarters clean; this is as i'm
portant in winter as in summer.
Clean, pleasant quarters and suita-
| bic food have much to do in determ-
lining the flavor and quality of the
| fowls.
1t is always better, other things
being equal, to divide large flocks into
colonies or families of from twenty to
fifty each.
1t is far easier to make the hens lay
in winter than it is to find big market
and get winter prices during the
summer season.
Grind the corn and cob together
and try it, feeding at night. Some
roast the corn on hot fire and feed
for eggs. It's good plan.
Cockerels intended for breeding
purposes will make better growth if
kept apart from the rest of the flock
until nearly mature.
The hens that are furnished with
comfortable quarters now yield good
quantity of eggs if their former treat
ment has been of the right kind.
Put bones in the stove and allow
them to burn white, when they can be
easily pulverized. Mix this with corn
meal and feed twice day to the
fowls.
Some farmers declare fowls a nui-
sance, and say they don't pay. This
is where they are left to shift for them
selves. Would the dairy pay the same
way?
Hen houses do not need to be warm,
but they should be tight enough to ex'
clude drafts and moisture. These in
duce disease, to which the fowls quickly
succumb.

Mites in a. Poultry House.
TPOultry World. !

Turn out the fowls some cool or
damp day, and then close all the
cracks in the house except the door.
Then take kettle of live Goals and
place on the ground in the centre, but
if there is wood floor lay fiat stone
in, on which set the kettle. Throw a
half pound of sulphur upon the Goals
and shut the door, and leave the house
closed for a few hours, and we will
venture no more lice or mites will be
found in it for weeks thereafter. If
the house is not tight enough to admit
of thorugh fumigation in the manner
described, then clean as we'll as you
can, and whitewash with fresh lime,
mixing in liberal quantity of sulphur
into all the cracks, and apply kero-
sene oil to the roosts. The house
should be we'll aired before the fowls
are admitted, and we'll ventilated at
night. We have never known the
"sulphur cure" to fail if properly
applied.

RAMBOOZLlNG GRANDMA.

There never was grandma hall SO
good
He whispered while beside her chair he
stood,
And laid his rosy cheek,
With manner very meek,
Against her dear old face in loving mood.
There never was a nicer grandma born:
know some little boys must be fOrlOrn,
Because they've none like you,
wonder what I'd do
Without grandma's Kisses hleht anu
morn
''There never was dearer grandma
there!'
He kissed her and he smoothed her snow
white hair;
Then fixed her ruffied cap,
And nestled in her lap.
While grandma, smiling, rocked her Ola
armchair.
"When I'm a man what things to you III
bring;
A horse and carriage and watch ana ring.
All grandma'S are so nice
dust here he kissed her twice..
And prandmas give good boy everything.
Before his dear old grandma cOul;i reply
This boy looked up, and with roguish
eye, ,
Then whispered in Ter ear
That nobody might hear:
"Say, grandma, have you any more good
mince pie"

and turkeys-they are less liable tc
disease and are less trouble to look
f.! after. After the geese and ducks get
reasonably we'll feathered they can be
turned out into a good pasture, and il
there is plenty of water they will need
very little attention, at least until cold
weather. 1t takes a good breed OF
layers for hen to lay more eggs than
a good Pekin duck, and if we'll
sheltered and fed they will commence
laying the latter part of January and
will lay all the rest of the winter and
the early spring, and will usually take
a second spell the latter part of the
summer. 10 make the most of both
ducks and geese it is necessary to pick
their feathers regularly, commencing
as soon as they are through laying in
the spring. The feathers should be
picked regularly all the summer until
reasonably cold weather in the fall.
A sufficient amount OF feathers can
readily be secured to pay for their
keep, so that the eggs and increase
may be considered as profit.
With geese, especially after the
number it is desired to keep is secured,
nearly or quite all the younger fowls
may be marketed as soon as they have
made sufficient growth, as the old
fowls may be kept a number of years
without change, and will give fully as
good if not better results than the
younger ones. Ducks can hardly be
kept SO long, but should be sold when
five years old at least. This gives in
both cases the young fowls to market,
and they will sell better and can be
made ready for market at a less cost
than the older or more matured ones.
With ducks, until the desired number
is secured, it is good plan to sell the
early Matched and keep the later.
But it is best to keep good stock in
making start, and it will cost but
little more to secure good fowls. The
Pekin is one of the best breeds of
ducks, while the Embden is one of the
best breeds Of geese. One advantage
of both of them is that the feathers are
white and will sell to better advantage.
The Toulouse geese are good breed,
but the feathers are dark colored. The
Aylesbury is good breed of ducks,
but are not quite as large as the Pekin.
Geese will come nearer living on
pasture and taking care of themselves
than any other class of poultry.
Too much grain is rather a detri-
ment than benefit, and should only
be given heavily when fattening for
market. Bulky food is much more
desirable and will give much better
results in every way during growth.
During the winter they need a shelter,
and during what may be termed the
laying season it is best to pen at night
in order to make sure of the egg, but
otherwise the better plan is to give
them good range in pasture we'll
supplied with water.

McClure's Magazine for NOvem-

The current number OF McCiue's Maga-
zine is an unusually attractive one. The
table of contents is full, the subject mat
ter all that could be desired and the illus
trations appropriate. The number opens
with dialogue between Frank r. Stock
ton and Edith NJ. Thomas. 1t is written
in one of Miss Thomas's happiest moods
and is as bright as one of Sidney Smith 8
epigrams. Miss Thomas visits Mr.. Stock
ton at his picturesque home, beyond the
foot hills of New Jersey and there, under his
vine and fig tree, introduces US to him.
And then we have the rare privilege OF
listening to two famous literary person
ages exchanging condolences, and telling
how their poems and stories are con-
ceived and written. 1t is a beautifully
illustrated article, and No. 3 in the series
OF Real Conversations. There is, By the

there is one vice more hopeless of re-

hasn't enough good in him to raise

THE JuRY's VERDICT.

The verdict of the coroner's Jury
called together to pass upon the deaths
of the unfortunate victims of last
Wednesday nights reign of terror will
doubtless be considered as the only one
that could be rendered to fully meet
the eXigencies OF the occasion.
The jury is not body to pass upon
the responsibility of any party con-
csrned in death upon which they are
called upon to act They are merely to
decide how, and under what circum-
stances death was caused and their duty
ends, with possibly an additional rec
ommendation to a grand jury or court
to pass upon the question of the guilt
or innocence of the parties responsible
for the death
1t now remains for the grand jury
which 1T is expected that Judge Woods
will soon appoint to continue the in
vestigation and fix the blame upon
those parties upon whom the guilt must
surely rest.
The question of the legality of the
acts of the officials will be the first one
to demand attention. The statutes of
the State show plainly the duties OF the
officials Of the city in preserving order
and protecting the laws. The duty of
