WINTER FEEDING.

Every poultry keeper ought to take an
intelligent interest in the subject of win
ter feeding for the purpose of stimulat-
ing egg production at a time when eggs
are worth money. AS winter dairying has
been found more profitable than summer
butter production, and, indeed, absolutely
essential to success in dairy lines, so
winter egg production is essential to the
best success in poultry keeping. "Chanti-
cleer, an English poultry writer, has the
loIoWlng to say on this subject:
FIRST as to the morning meal Make a
mash of one-half bran and the other half
OF equal parts of ground maize, oats and
middlings. Add all the cooked vegetables
and table scraps available to the mix
ture, seald, and work into crumbiy
mess. once week meat scraps should be
added. also ground bone. This mixture
should be given hot.
- When you have it to spare, you will find
boiled skim milk. Milk is a complete egg
food, and it pays to give a supply of it to
the hens. At midday scatter grain among
litter 50 that the fowls have to scratch
for it. This keeps them in good health
and induces egg production as much as
anything.
At night scatter oats among the
scratching material, and when the wealth
er is very cold substitute Indian corn.
Cut bone, oyster shells and grit should
be constantly before the fowls, and their
drinking water should be changed several
times day. a cabbage head, hung where
the hens have to exert themselves to get
at it, is an Indispensable item This IS
ditions being favorable, will make the
hens lay all the year round.
The noultirg period. it must he borne
in mind, has something to do with winter
laying. Granting that three months
time must be lost, it is plain that If q
hen begins to moult the first of August
she will not be. in full pluuiage again unI-7
not lay again until the moulting has been
completed.
If the weather is mild, however, during
November, and winter does not set in be be-
months rest. and will begin laying and
then continue laying through the winter
Hence this rule must not be overlooked.
which is. that if the hens begin to lay be
fore cold weather they will lay during the
winter, but if cold weather oyertakee,si
them before they BEGIN to Jay they will
probably not lay before spring.
One is frequently asked the question,
GLOW much food should a hen have per
day?" 1t is hard to say. Some say
quart a day to eight hens is the correct
allowance, but every poultry keeper knows
that some kinds of hens will eat third
more than others. and that the appetite
varies greatly according to. the weather
and number of eggs produced.
Hens will not eat too much at regular
feeding provided they. have plenty of ex-
ercise. The trouble is that few poultry
keepers take the trouble to keep the. fowls
scratching for living. The hen that is
continually scratching will not get too
fat.
Those who fail to provide plenty of
exercise must cut down the food as soon
as the hens seem to become slow and
begfn to stop laying. The weight, "feeF'
and general appearance of the fowls will
point out the trouble very well. The
cure is simply more exercise and less
grain.

IMPROVEMENT AND AMUSEMENT.

Hon. William e. Gladstone says, in
regard to the problem of pleasure YER
sus work: You want amusement, but
that does not exclude Improvement
gagged in study that they dislike it?
No. There is labor, no doubt, but it is
SO associated with interest all along
that it is forgotten in the delight which
it carries in it's performance. and no
people know that better than the
working class. But what is to
be desired is that some effort should
be made by men of all classes. and
perhaps by none more than the labor
ing class, to lift ourselves above the
level of what is purely frivolous. and
10 endeavor to find our amusement in
making ourselves acquainted with
things of real interest and beauty"

BEST TIME ron pgUs1So

Please give me in a few words the best
time to prune apple, plum, pear ana
peach trees; also grapes, blackberries
etc.
AS to the trees you name and the CRANE
vine, the best time for pruning is after
they have become dormant in the late
fall, or before the sap begins to flow in
the spring. Many horticulturists think
the best time to cut out he old canes of
he raspberry and blackberry is soon after
they have ceased bearing.-Ed.

STUDY YOUR HORSE.

There is a key to every horses tenn
per. 1t is certain that severe punish
ment, when administered to a disobe-
dent horse, generally makes him still
worse, and confirms him more than
ever in his bad habit or vice. More
can be done by kind than harsh treat
ment, ALTHOUGH a judicious need of
punishment is sometimes necessary,
and suggests itself as the only remedy
for characterization. But all depends
on knowing your horse. What will
cure one horse will completely spoil
another. Different horses require diff
ferent treatment to make them tracta-
BILE and ohedlent. The Emphatic and
nervous, the stubborn and irritable,
whether man or beast, should not be
treated alike; yet this is the too COM
mon practice of ignorant horsemen.
Great tact and judgment are required
to educate some horses-to know how
to humor tho wilful into submission.

this can be done, however, by careful
study of the particular horses indi-

FALL CALVES THE BEST TO RAISE

mere is no longer any use disputing
the extra value of fall calves. And
they constitute one of the chief sources
of profit to the butter dairyman, who
has his skim milk and raises his own
cows, finely bred, says a. c. West in
American Agricul turalist. 1t is no
wonder that such wise men estimate
the value OF skim milk at one cent ner
quart. And they have learned how to
employ it to the best ADVANTAGE. 81
always feed it with bran" saws one.
But bran alone would not do. although
it is essential to rapid growth because
OF its bone-producing elements. A lit
lie faXseed, properly prepared, returns
to the milk a part of the fat removed
by skimming, and keeps the bowels in
order. Boil it in six times it's bulk of
water for twenty minutes, or until it
makes a jelly. Two tablespoonful of
this jelly placed in each gallon of milk
fed the calves, with a handful or two
of bran, according to the age of the
calf. will make large, sleek, choice ami
mails. Too much bran fed to very
young calves is not desirable There
is no comparison between fall calves
carefully reared in the barn in this
way for the first six months, and
spring calves turned out to battle with
Mes IN SIDE OF two months after birth.
The evidence is wholly in favor of the
fall calves. And it is surprising how
soon they begin to eat hay. Give them
the best early cut. Many are begin
ming to find a similar course satisfac-
tory for veal production, slightly in
creasing the jelly with full rations of
milk, but not enough to cloy the appe-
tite. Some feed a little corn meal in
conjunction with the ration when fat
tening veal. This must be used jul
diciously-not more than half a pint
at a meal to the oldest, biggest calves.
Such veal at this season and until veal
begins to be low in price will sell as
readily and for as much money as veal
fattened on expensive butter fats.
Look out for weN-bred heifer calves.

ONE OF THE AouIA CREEK RoBgER

ONE OF THE AQUA CREEK ROBBERS
CAuGHr.-After five days of tracing
by the detectives one of the men
connected with the robbery of the
express car at Aqua Greek last Fri
day night was arrested at Cumber-
land. He gave is name as G.. j.
Searcey, and his home as Munfer,
Texas. He made conflicting state
ments as to recent movements.
From the description of the chief
robber the man caught the one who
planned and executed the robbery.
About l;30 O'Clock, Wednesday
night Captain Pitzer and patrolman
Beck were standing on the platform
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
station watching a train pull out.
Just as it was about to leave they saw
a man run from the Windsor Hotel,
which is only few doors away, and
attempted to board the train. The
officers, who were on the watch, saw
that he answered the description of
one of the men from Front Royal,
and started to arrest him. He at
tempted to board the train and
started to throw a telescope satchel
which he carried ON the train. Pa
trolman Beck seized him and on
Chief Pitzer's arrival he was placed
under arrest. He attempted to ex-
postulate with the officers and If
they would accompany him to his
hotel he would prove his character.
They informed him he was under ar
rest for attempting to board train
while in motion. He was taken to
the police headquarters, when he
asked to be conducted to the toilet
room. where he attempted to dispose
of a large roll of bills and revolver.
He was thwarted in his attempt and
was Immediately searched. u
In his pockets and satchel were
found a revolver, 1926 in paper, $l2S-
so in silver, 200 lottery tickets and
several of Adams Express Company's
blanks. The silver was intwo sacks
which were contained in a satchel
carried in the telescope. In it were
also a suit Of underwear purchased
here. In the telescope was found
a pair of shoes stained with yellow
mud, some rough clothing, SLOUGH
hat and other articles indicative of q
disguise. He was then locked up.
Inquiry developed that he was seen
at Cumberland as early as II O'Clock
Tuesday morning, although he did
not register at the Windsor Hotel
until after the arrival of the train at
1880 O'Clock last evening.
A memorandum was found in his
pocket which showed that sum of
$4,000 had recently been divided
between two persons, of which he re-
ceived half. The tablet showed how
he had spent portion of it. The
sum of $200is missing, and it is sup
posed he spent that sum here last
night or gambled it away. 1t is
rumored that the tablet also contain
ed a chart which showed where and
how the money was divided and
where part of it was hidden.

to their astonishment not one of
the vines had bean on. Later the
rascals even attempted to drive his
hands from his own premises. They
went to the gardens with wagons
and loaded them, coming to town
and other places and disposing of
their ill-gotten gains. Their names
are known and measures for their
prosecution are being taken.
