Profit in Poultry.

Says James Rankin in the Home
stead l have sixteen cows in my
barn; my neighbors call them good
ones. The milk is sold in a neighbour
ing village at remunerative prices. 1t
requires the labor Of two men and one
team to care for these cows and deliver
the milk. | have $50 pullets in my
yard with but 1.-THE of the labor and
capital employed, these pullets last
winter made me more than double the
clear money that my cows did. l am
we'll acquainted with two young men
who are running poultry and dairy
farm conformity. The one is an invalid,
keeps 1000 hens. the care of which
occupies about one-haf Of his time.
The other keeps thirty COWS, from
which he makes butter of so good a
quality that it readily commands eight
or ten cents above the standard price.
This man raises the usual farm crops.
reads the papers carefully, knows
something Of labor and its application,
and runs his gang of four or five. men
with an eye to business. yet the in
valid brother clears double the money
from his Loco hens that his brother
does from the whole farm.
One instance more : E. Damon, of
South Hansons, Mass. told me not
long since that he had $50 pullets in
his yard. COO of which had been con-
fined in one building all the winter
without stepping out Of doors. These
fowls had furnished him with thirty
five dozeu eggs per day during the
winter. These eggs were taken al the
door at titty-two cents per dozen. This
gave him 81 clear profit per day. with
only few hours care.

THF, POULTRY Y ARD.
KEEP THEM SCRATCHING.
Hens Must Have Plenty of Exercise to
Lay Well.

Last fall l started in for the winter
season with thirty hens, fifteen being
old and fifteen pullets. Some Of these
hens were quite old. One of them is
seven years old, but she lays an egg
most every day. In fact, l think that
old hens produce the most eggs during
the season. My hens are Of the
Plymouth Rock breed. They are kept
in house "a feet long and lG feet wide
with yard 60 by 80 feet. In the yard
are three large apple trees, which af
ford abundant shade. The hens are
kept in good working order and not al
lowed to become fat, as they will not
lay if their food is turned into fat.
Their feed consists of wheat bran or
mixed feed and corn meal. Two quarts
Of beans and one quart of corn meal
wet up with hot water with one table
spoonful Of salt, and in winter weather
one spoonful of red pepper for break
fast.
l usually put in small handful Of
sulphur once or twice week as we'll
us the waste from the table. For the
midday meal they are fed two quarts
of whole oats. This is the time I make
them work. l have wide board put
up edgewise in the centre of the hem
house and put into one side a good
thick covering of straw or hay 6 or 8
inches thick and sow oats all over the
straw. This they have to scratch for.
In the winter l give a good handful of
rowen and in summer green grass.
They relish this as would flock of
sheep. For supper they have two
quarts of whole corn put in straw the
same as the oats. l never give meat
or patent hen food. A dust box with
coal ashes aud box of oyster shells
is placed in corner, as is clean dish
with plenty Of fresh water or milk.
Several neighbors keep twice as many
hens as do but fail to get more than
than half as many eggs. This, think,
is because they keep the hens too well
fed and do not give them work enough
to keep healthy. Hens must have eX-
ercise to lay well. This is my eXpe-
rience, but others may differ from me-

Small Gains and Profits.
Poultry keeDer.I


The fowls are small compared with
the animals. but they gain proportion
ately in weight, and pay for the food
consumed. If fowl weighing six
pounds makes gain Of one pound,
it is exactly proportionate to the gain
of one hundred pounds in steer that
may increase in weight from six hun
dred to seven hundred pounds, aud a
steer will require more room than will
one hundred fowls. By the use of a
pure-bred male in flock of common
hens, the farmer may add an additional
pound in weight to all poultry Matched
from the cross. If he has one hundred
of such birds, he has gained one hun
dred pounds by improvement. 1t is
more important to improve the poultry
than the animals, especially when the
flock is large, as a gain of two eggs
only per month, or even only a half
pound of weight in the carcass, may
amount in value to a large sum in a
year. To show what can be done by
the use of pure-bred males, we selected
two medium-siZed common hens, full
sisters, and mated one of them with
Plymouth Rock male and the other
with scrub male, Matching eggs from
both hens for comparison, selecting
the cockerels six of each) for expert
ment. When they were six months
old, they were weighed. The half
bred Plymouth Rock cockerels aver
aged nine and one fourth pounds each,
and the others seven and one eighth
pounds. Both lots were fed alike (all
being together) and were fed very
heavily in order to force them in
growth. There was over two pounds
difference in weight, or twenty-five
cents gain, at twelve and one-half
cents per pound. Had we raised two
hundred of the cross-bred chickens.
there would have been a gain of $50
by using the pure-bred Plymouth
Rock, and yet he did not cost but 50.
The pullets from the cross were also
better egg producers. Gains from
poultry may appear small, but they
are really large when we take percent
age of gain into consideration.

LOVE AND LAW.

A learned judge in New York City in deciding a case in which 8 young woman sought to prove the occHr- renee of common law marriage, re- gently wrote an opinion in which he said:
 Words of endearment in love letters are never to be taken literally. The extravagant use of such words, therefore, cannot be held to con clude the defendant to their literal meaning even if he did write them.
 It is pity that his honor did not elueidate with more detail the legal status of love letters. Did he mean that people who write them are con- sciously insincere, that they purposely misrepresent what they feel with in- tent to deceive? Or did he intend to convey the impression that persons in love are not accountable for their state- ments and should not be held responsi- ble for them?
 The pledges made in the marriage ceremoney are usually made under the influence of the same state of mind that gives rise to terms of endearment in love letters; yet the law does not hold them less binding for that reason.
 If love letter promises are inten-' tioAally insincere, it does not seem just that they should be declared void by the courts on that account. If they are unintentionally misleading, why should the person to whom they are made be the sole sufferer from the deception?
 The more love and law are brought
