The experiment of feeding chickens
on large scale has often been tried,
and, so far as we can learn, has never
been successful unless they are pro-
vided with separate houses and separ'
ate runs some distance from each
other. Mr.. dillingham; of Pennsyl-
vania tells how this was managed IN
one instance, which might be easily
and cheaply tried by others who are
ambitious to embark in the business
He says:
THE most successful egg producer
I ever saw built small houses out
around the outskirts of his farm and
kept about a dozen hens in each.
He had wagon road running around
along the line of houses and drove an
old horse and cart around to carry
food and water to them every morn
ing. He also carefully husbanded the
manure from under their roosts, which
he used in tanks of water, thus form
ing a liquid manure which made his
celery and other garden truck the won
der Of the neighborhood. Probably
600 good hens kept in twenty five snug
little houses built on the outskirts OF q
1Oo-acre farm and faithfully fed every
morning, but allowed their liberty ex'
cept to be closed against intruders at
night, would afford more actual profit
than all the rest of the farm stock and
crops put together. A house eig Mt

Tackled to these, three feet above the
ground, thus forming a basement
which should be tightly enclosed on
three sides, but with good sized door
on the south side, which is to be left
open in day time, but closed at night
will afford room enough for twenty
FIVE fowls. An inclined plane leads
from the basement up into the
roosting room above, which is always
warm and dry. This arrangement
gives the fowls snug, warm runway
and scratching pen which they will
appreciate during cold, stormy and
windy weather. and not compel them
to constantly run over their night

MEAT ON QUICK TIME.-More meat
can be produced in the shortest time
from the duck than from any other
living thing on the farm. The farmer
who has q drake and six ducks Will
get something like 800 or 1000 eggs
from them in q year, and he can set
the hens and have ducklings from tho
time the first lot comes out which is
often as early as February, until late
in summer. It should not cost over 6
cents to produce a pound OF duck
meat, and then grow 80 rapidly as TO
leave chicks far in the rear. A duck
ling should weigh, if forced four
pounds in eight weeks. We have had
them to gain pound in ono week:
Of course we had the Pekins, and used
only the largest and best we could
procure for breeding purposes, and we
have raised hundreds that never saw
water except in trough, no ponds or
streams being used. No quicker way
of supplying meat for the farmers
table can be suggested than for him
to hatch out large lot Of ducklings,
and he can get good price for all he
NAV sell, Roast duck is better dish
than salt pork, and can be had just ~
cheaply, as the duck can be raised on
the same food that is required for pro-
ducing pork.-Poultry Keeper.

Avoid Loss from Cold.

Hens may fail to lay also because OF
improper feeding, says Poultry Keeper
An egg is very complete in it's compo-
sition, as it will produce a chick, and
the food must necessarily correspond.
The safest way and best course to
pursue is to feed a variety. When
this is done, and some Of the hens lay
regularly, and others not, it is time to
save food by getting rid OF those that
are Improbable. Why is it that hens
will be in good condition, have red
combs, and as soon as the first cold
snap comes every one of them will
stop laying? That this happens, and
more frequently than is desired, is
deplorable fact only too we'll known
to farmers. 1t is a matter that is
worth the attention Of poultry men
or philosophers. 1t is a serious thing
when eggs are selling at three cents
apiece to have the hens suddenly cease
LAYING when they should be filing the
egg basket 1t seems hard for the
hens after laying as regularly
as clock work during the sum-
mer when eggs are low, to shut
down the egg factory just when there
is the heaviest demand. But there is
a cause forit That much will be unan-
imouslv admitted. But what is the
cause? 1t is not because of lack OF
food, as the cessation of egg produc-
ton may happen in q single day. 1t
is not due to disease, for the hens may
be healthy. The cause is lack Of

Ia tt Cruel to Pluck Live Geese?

A case Of some Importance to those
concerned in the feather industry was
heard at Spalding on Tuesday. when
local farmer and goose dealer, named
William Bennett, was prosecuted by
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals for plucking live
geese. During 3 lengthy hearing it
was contended by the defense that
properly conducted, there was nc
pain or cruelty in the practice, and
that its prohibition would stop an i'm
portant industry in Lincolnshire and
other countries. The magistrates dis
missed the case. Agricultural Ga

looked about him. He had stripped all save two Indians. One of them was heavy winner. Laying down $100 for each of them to cover, Quelepah announc- ed that it was his last bet The cards left were the queen and the deuce. Both In- dians laid on the queen. The deuce won.

 Squaws also are inveterate gamblers. It is a common sight to sec a dozen squaws, young and old, their papooses lying neglected on the ground, crowded around an old shawl busy over 10 cent game of monte. Their play is persistent and many of them are marvelously clever gamblers. But they seldom have money of their own sufficient to play for high stakes.
 One peculiarity of Indian gambling games is their intricacy. In several tribes the writer has seen Indians playing games with sticks and stones for hours at time Notwithstanding the closest attention he has been unable to discover the system used nor has he ever met white man who could explain the game. There are several games of this kind, and among the Pacific coast tribes they are common.
 In addition to his faith in his charm the Indian places great dependence on his ability to cheat. To the best cbeat are &C., corded the highest honors when gambling is indulged in. There is never thought of getting angry over delft tricks or unfair methods so long as the perpetrator is not caught in tho act. If he is caught, he re- funds his gains and is laughed at for clum- siness
 Since playing cards have become com- mon, games taught by the whites and Mexicans are generally the favorites among the red men. Monte is played for large amounts. Sometimes an Indian with hundreds of dollars will become impoyer- ished ill a single evening by trying his luck against skillful player. An espe- cially delft monte dealer, more skillful even than Quelepah, has been known to go from tribe to tribe in the mountains of New Mexico and return home loaded down with his winnings. Many Mexican gam blers devote almost their entire time to travelling among tho various tribes in the Sierras. They win large sums, but lose them again in Mexican cities.-Fort Sill co. ID Cor.

but Sport was an extraordinary animal.
Everyone south of Yesler avenue knew the
dog. Firemen were always on the look
out for him when an alarm came from the
south end of the city. and if the opportun-
ity afforded he would fight a stream of
water to finish. He never let the patrol
wagon pass without going with it short
distance both to and from the box. 1t
was while running out TO greet the patrol
wagon Saturday evening that he was
killed. A big black dog struck him and
before Driver Johnston could stop the
horses poor old Sport had been struck by
one OF the horses. He picked himself up,
walked short distance toward home and
fell dead Today regular funeral will be
held in his honor. Sport was years old
and was born in the old Never Touched
