THE POULTRY YARDS.

Purify the Runs and Keep the Bird,
Healthy-Methods of Publication.
Many poultry men who keep Their
fowls confined to small yards clean the
poultry houses, but never seem to think
it necessary to purify the yards. II
sickness visits their fowls, it is a mys-
ferrous dispensation of Providence, for
have they not kept the houses clean
They do not think of the yards, whose
soil has become impregnated with the
droppings of the fowls, and upon which
green thing is never permitted to
grow. Following are methods of puri-
fication recommended by The American
Agriculturist:
l. Where it is possible to do so seed
the yard down to grass or clover and
let it bear crop one year or raise upon
it crop of vegetables. OF course this
necessitates two yards for the fowls, a
plan that cannot always be pursued.
Or one can, with movable fence, cut
off the fowls from the larger part of the
yard and SOW that to some quick grow
ing crop, like oats, and when it has
grown five or six inches high let the
fowls in upon it. Or one can spade the
yard in sections, sowing oats at each
spading, and thus secure little growth
from them and succession of growths
of green food for the fowls. A growing
crop for one season puts the soil in ex-
cellent condition for the fowls, the cro1
removing just the elements that were
injurious to the fowls.
= g. Spading up the yards every few
weeks, either in sections or all at once,
turning up the soil to the action of the
sun and air. Air is the best disinfectant
we have, and plenty of it will help to
rob the soil of the element poisonous to
the fowls. Spading will do for a few
years, but after awhile it will not he
sufficient.
3. The removal and casting away OF
several inches of the soil and replacing

gardener to do this, as the soil removed
is rich in fertilizing matter, but few
have been fortunate enough to find the
gardener do this. But even if one has
to go to the expense of the removal it
pays better to do it than to have a lot
of sick and, therefore, improbable
fowls.
4. Temporary relief can be had by
sowing the yards with land plaster.
This will hold the injurious emanations
and keep the air in a healthful condi-
ton.
5. The soil can be disinfected by a
thorough drenching with sulphate of
copper diluted in water, about one
pound of the former to 100 gallons of
the latters The soil should be thorough
ly drenched. Of these methods the
simplest is the best-raising a crop upon
the yard.

the shade, and were then bedded ex-
actly as we bed sweet potatoes in the
spring, except that no. heating manure
was used at the end of two weeks, these
potatoes were examined, and those
which showed no indication of sprout-
ing were rejected. the others were
planted whole, in the same manner as
spring potatoes, the bed was mulched
with pinestraw, and in o few weeks
there was an almost perfect stand. Not
outstanding the very severe winter.
We had fresh potatoes from this bed
until time to plant again in March.
When the bed was plowed up for the
spring planting, the medium potatoes
were again selected, but instead of dry
ing, were planted Immediately along
side the eastern grown varieties The
home raised potatoes were planted
whole. The eastern were cut as usual
The protracted drouth has greatly re-
duced the yield, but up to the time that
1t began to injuriously affect both plant
lngs, the home raised plants kept
pace in appearance and bearing quail
ties with their neighbors. At the pres
emit writing, though we have had re-
freshing rains, they came too late to
benefit the dried up plants.
1t is maintained by the advocates of
this new industry that plants from
southern grown seed. can better with
stand drouth. The present instance has
. been fair test of this statement, and a
fair conclusion may be formed when
the respective yields are measured. For
planting this crop in the field on larger
scale and for winter protection, there
are full directions in last months re-.
port in the inquiry column.

private corporation, unable to swing
the deal, is asking the government to
provide the funds, but there is no pro-
vision that it is to even share the

PULL Teeth BY E ECTR.CITY.

The people who monkey with the
human frame never appear to be con-
tented. Trials are reported 10 have
been made at London. England, With
a new apparatus for the extraction OF
teeth by electricity. 1t consists OF an
inducive coil of extremely fine wire
having an interrupter that can vibrate
at the rate of fifty times a second
The patient sits in the TRADITIONAL arm
chair. and takes the negative electrode
in his left hand the positive in his rlght.
At this moment the operator turns on
a current, whose intensity is gradu-
ally increased, till it has attained the
utmost limit that the patient can sup
port. The extractor is then put In
circuit and fastened on the tooth,
which under the action Of the vibra-
tons. is loosened at once. The oper-
alton is performed very quickly, and
the patient feels no other sensation
than the pricking produced in the
hands and foreNms by the passage OF
the current.
1t is TO be hoped that this is not true

HOW ABOUT CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

The suggestion of Christmas gifts
will be less agreeable to the minds Of
very many people this year than at
any recurrance Of the blessed season
in all their lives. The sentiment of the
great many will be measured by the
woeful condition of their purses
While ii true that this is not a diamond
and seal-skin sacCue year, do not be
discouraged from making Christmas
gifts. Its not the cost OF 4 gift that
fixes its value. The supposed friend
who is so mercenary as 10 prize your
gift by its negotiable price is n friend
hardly worth boasting. They are
pitiable mortals whose instincts for
spells overshadow their sentiments.
So don't deny yourself of the harpi-
ness OF making Christmas gifts be-
cause you are not able TO give so gen

MR1sKEY TRUST Trouble.

Additional working capital is the cry
of the directors of the Whiskey Trust.
In other words the Whiskey Trust has
not been a success. Its profits have
been great. but its expenses have alb
Sorbed them.
The directors say they are conf
dent that, with aid. they can ultimately
conduct the great business of the con-
Germ successfully. Their confidence Is
audacious. The trust in any line OF
goods is not success, however 1t may
appear so temporarily. 1t is good
thing for mankind that it is not.
The business capacity of man is linz
tied. One large distillery demands the
exclusive attention and study ana
management of one man directly in
terested, with the added stimulus OF
competition. More than that, one COM
| petent man cannot run a large con-
Germ of any kind unless he surrounds
! himself with competent assistants.
But, one directory, in the policy OF
| trusts, is expected to run fifty con-
Germs. The idea that induces the form
alton of a trust is monopoly. With an
/ exclusive right to sell ware, a
right purchased by combination and
forced by temporary under selling,
comes. of course, the privilege to raise
the price of that ware at will. III this
! very thing the trust kills itself. It's
high price decreases the demand.
At the same time that the trust loses
through a decreased demand what II
gains in an increased price, the direc-
tory of that trust discovers that it is
totally unable to manage its great com
bined businesses on paying basis.
That a trust business cannot be
made to pay is the result of very
simple cause. Monopoly means the eX
clusion of competition. Without conf
petition, no business can grow anC
develop as it would with competition
Steady improvement, which results
from competition, in the trust becomes
statu quo. The sub-managers of eacf
concern in the combination lose 9
strong personal interest. Under hin
his assistants work. not for the ad
vancement of the concern. but merely
for their salaries. On all sides, thi:
must lead to innumerable leakages anC
these Ieakages, together with shiftless
ness which is engendered from a lacl
of close and scrupulous supervision
amounts yearly TO an enormous sum.
The great reason that trusts are go
ing under and will continue to go un
der is that they are too big. 1t is no
right that one man should with one
big business, crowd out fifty men, eacl
with a small business 1t is not right
not only. 1t is not possible.
Every mans capacity for economy il
restricted to himself. Unless he ha
his business under the closest persona
supervision he cannot practice econ
omy, and in the end the man with thu
small concern, with his business at hi
fingers ends, will win, where the MAJ
with a business that is managed by
distant directory, will fail.
