Hens or Pullets,

The practice of retaining the pullets
and dlscarding the hens can only result
in a degeneracy of the stock. This
fact may not be apparent in one, or
even two seasons, but sooner or later
the effects become plain. Some pullets
begin to lay prematurely. their eggs
showing the immaturity of the pullets,
being small and imperfect. Pullets
hatched,in, incubators, raised in brooders
are forced so highly by the warmth
and extra food given that they some
times begin to lay before they are four
months old. They will produce eggs
that hatch. but the chicks usually lack
vitality. In an experiment made by
US with chicks hatched from eggs laid
by pullets and from eggs laid by hens.
there was as large a number of chicks
from the eggs Of the pullets as from the
hens. but the loss from the eggs of the
pullets was much larger than from the
eggs of hens, an experiment which
plainly demonstrated that in breeding
Tor the best results it will not do to
discard the old hens and use pullet.

Girls and the Home.

Our girls do not realize how much
the happiness of home depends on
them. The mother has been called
the better half of her husband, and |
tink girls can be called the better half
OF mamma in more sen.es than one.
Do not be too dependent on your
mother for the direction of your ideas.
Study them out yourself. Anticipate
mammals wishes, ease her cares. Try
and raise up to some one of the re-
qulfements of home every day. Come
out of yourself and try not only to
be happy, but make others so. There
is something very beautiful about the
affection of brother and sister. You
can be Co-worker with mother in
directing the headstrong boy into
right paths but by speaking unkindly,
even if you feel vexed restrain your
self, and try be pleasant-if you can
not, then keep still. Better say moth
ing than to speak cross. Respect your
parents before the younger children.

A SURRY COUNTY ROMANCE
Material For Drama or Novel;
Facts From Real Life.
| Mt. Airy News.I

love that is true is like the light,
Of sun and stars, forever bright.
At the beginning Of the late war
there lived in this county a young
man named Edward Martin. Like
most other young men OF his age he
had a sweetheart, whose name was
Margaret Gwyn. They wtre engaged
but Martin went into the army and
the marriage was delayed. In 1862
Martin came home on Through and 1t
was arranged that the marriage should
take place while he was at home. The
license was procured and every
preparation made for the marriage
when old Mr.. Gwyn suddenly inter
posed and prevented the marriage.
Mr.. Gwyn at that TING had two sons
in-law in the army and their wives
and children were at his home, and
he objected to having another family
on his hands. BY such reasoning as
this he persuaded the young people to
postpone their marriage until after the
war. Nowlng eternal constancy to
each other young Martin and his
fiance parted, the former returning
to his place in the army. He was in
the 2Ist North Carolina regiment and
at the battle of Cedar Mountain he
was captured by the Federals and sent
to a Northern prison.
While there he decided that he was
tired OF fighting and resolved to do
no more of it. SO he renOunced his
allegiance to the Southern ConledcraCy
and took the oath of allegiance to the
United States government. He was
then released and went to Washing
ton TO live. There he went into
business and prospered. A few years
afterward he married. Children grew
up around him and reached the age
of manhood and womanhood. In all
this time he had little information of
what was going on at his old home in
tar-away Surry county. The woman
to whom he had plighted his troth was
apparently forgotten.
Martins disappearance was for a
long time mystery to his Surry
friends, and as year after year passed
and he did not return hope died in
! the heart Of his fair fianCe. She
waited long, hoping against hope until
her heart grew sick with the uncer-
| talnty.
/ But one day another lover came
a'wooing, dashlng, deb1nair Ira Roark
! lie was bold lover and SO success
fully did he plead his cause that the
tar Margaret yielded to his persuasions
and became his wife. Several happy
/ years followed and then Roark fell i'll
and died.
Some time previous to his death
Mrs. Martin had died but neither
Mrs. Roark nor Martin knew that the
other was free to love and be loved
again. Last summer Martin resolved
to crafty an intense longing TO visit
once more the scenes of his childhood,
and one day, thirty years after his
departure, he appeared on the streets
of Mt. Airy. The sequel is easy to
foresee. Martin and Mrs. Roark met,
the love of their youth was renewed
and few days ago they were happily
married, the ceremony being per
formed by Rev. r. NJ. Lofts. In
medlately after the marriage they left
for Washington, the groom's home,
where, let us trust, they will spend
many years of happiness.

Cut Green Bones as Poultry Food,
| PHILADELPHIA Farm Journal.


We believe it will pay anyone who
has flock Of one hundred or upwards
to buy a cutter and utilize the waste
bones from the table, and such as can
be obtained from the local butcher. If
near a city meat market bones can be
bought by the barrel at comparatively
cheap rates.
We have been using one of the Mann
cutters lately, and it certainly does
shave the hardest bone with surpris-
ing ease, considering the work done.
Of course it requires some "muscle"
to cut bone of any kind but Mann's
cutter will do the cutting without
breaking or clogging. 1t appears to
be made for business.
The hens approve the result by eat
ing the cut bone with avidity aud
Smelling out eggs accordingly.
While bone meal is a valuable addi-
ton to the poultry ration, it is so be-
cause of the phosphate Of lime it con-
tains. Green bones contain, besides
this mineral element, more or less
albuminous and fatty matter so
essential to muscle building and egg
production.
The makers Of the modern bone
cutters have done poultry keepers a
favor by thus enabling them to utilize
such superior food material, much of
which would otherwise be wasted.
Cut fresh bone and meat is rich,
succulent and easily digested, and the
same discretion must be used in feeding
it as in feeding chopped fresh meat.

Notes About Poultry Keeping.
Richmond Progressive SOUTH


4 little red oak bark placed in the
drinking trough will add to the health
fitness of fowls. 1t is most always
handy and costs nothing but very little
effort.
By care and selection, it is possible
to build up good breed OF fowls with
the common varieties by carelessness
and neglect the best breeds will deteri-
crate.
If you are not raising pure-bred
fowls you will find that the introduce
ton of a few Brown Leghorns will
improve the laying qualities of the
barn-yard poultry.
The spring chicken will probably be
an early bird in the markets this season
and those who have no brOOds Matched
out should delay as little as possible or
they will be compelled to accept the
least profitable prices.
Dat meal will be found much
better feed for young chicks, in fact,
for all young fowl, than corn meal. If
you have any difficulty in procuring it,
YOU will find that it will pay to purchase
the article of commerce as sold by
grocers. Try it in one brood and note
results.
Turkeys are more trouble perhaps
than any other fowl, but their trouble
is more or less ephemeral, as if they
had a good range they can manage to
take care of themselves in few weeks.
TIE feed night and morning will bring
Them home to rOOSt with great reGu-
larity.
Poultry raising is fast gaining receg
milton as a self supporting industry,
but it would be folly for an mex
perienced person to attempt to go into
the business upon extensive lines. 1t
is perfectly safe risk Oh small scale
while the profits nearly always prove
satisfactory and the lessons are valuable
to all beginners. The business is
easily expanded as fast as all circum-
stances will permit.
To be most successful with poultry
of all kinds it is, best to have all
preparations made before the first OF
January. Fowls moved from one
place to another after the first Of JAN
uary do not lay so early and rarely
produce so many eggs as those that
have remained undisturbed. 1t is the
winter layers that net the largest profit
among the producers, and the early
chicken is the bird that catches the
high prices. Where chickens are the
speciality some form Of incubator is
best.

THE SWEET OLD STORY.

Tell me about the Master
am weary and worn Tonight,
The day lies behind he in the shadow,
And only the evening is light
Light with radiant glory
That fingers about the west,
But my heart is aweary, aWeary,
And longs, like child's for rest.
Tell me about the Master,
OF the hills He in loneliness trod,
When the tears and the blood Of His an
guish
Dropped down on .Judea'S sod.
For to me life's seventy miiestOnes
But a sOrrOwful Journey mark
Rough lies the hill country behind me,
The mountains before me are dark.
Tell me about the Master.
OF the wrongs that He freely fOrgave,
OF His mercy and tender compassion,
OF His love that was mighty to save.
For my heart is aweary, aweary,
OF the woes and temptations of life,
Of the error that stalks in the monday,
OF falsehoOd and malice and strife.
Yet / know that whatever of sorrow
Or pain or temptation befall.
The Infinite Master hath suffered,
An knoweth and pitieth all.

That falls on each wound like balm,
And the heart that was bruised and broker
Grows patient and strong and calm.

THE POULTRY YARD.
Points About Poultry.

A lazy hen is never laying one.
Glover will supply all the lime hen
requires.
Common dust is the best extermin-
ator of lice
Laying hens should be separated
from non-layers.
If you crowd your hens you must
expect fewer eggs.
Lime in some form should be sup
piled to the chickens.
Grit should be kept where the fowls
can get it at all times.
The eggs from fat and clumsy hens
are generally infertile.
When grain alone is given it is the
most expensive of all feed.
Inbreeding tends to increase infer
tility and to weaken the offspring.
Make the nest boxes warm at this
season by using plenty of cut hay.
A cockerel mated to large hens usn-
ally gives large and vigorous chickens.
Procure new blood every year if you
would prevent your flock running
down.
Egg formation cannot 90 on when
the hen is suffering from cold or dis
comfort.
1t is claimed that it is as profitable
to use land sOr pasture for poultry as
for COWS.
If hens are fed on nothing but corn
and wheat they will cease laying after
a time.
The Brahma, being unable to fly, is
| one Of the best breed for yards and low
| fences.
The second year hen only lays half
the number Of eggs that she does the
first year.
Bran for chicks should always be
scalded and allowed to stand for time
in order to soften.
Anything in the vegetable line, pro-
vided it is sweet and clean, will form
acceptable food.
Because turkeys are good foragers it
will not pay to let them go without
proper feeding.
Chickens fatten faster on cooked
than on raw food because it is more
readily digested.
A good breed is not alone sufficient
to make money. Good care, good
feed and good quarters are also neces-
sary.
The ideal diet for poultry should be
neither too soft nor too hard, but 6
happy medium.
One pound of cut meat and bone il
considered proper daily allowance
for sixteen hens.
Winter eggs are profitable, and i
will pay to obtain them by proper
care and feeding.
Save all your refuse bones and breal
them up for the fowls, who will repa,
you with more eggs.
Green food is greatly relished b,
poultry and is of great value in pre-
venting constipation.
A lump of stone lime in corner o
the poultry house will do much to
wards absorbing moisture.
Apoplexy is caused by overfee ding
Many poultry-kecpers attribute it t.
the use Of too much corn.
Wood ashes in the poultry yard de
stroy the color of the legs of the bird
and often make them sore.
1t is not disirable to give too mucl
red pepper and ginger to poultry. One
or twice a week is sufficient.
The non-sitting breeds lay a grea
many eggs because they are of an &C
tive habit and do not get fat readily.
If eggs are cheap in summer, on tn
other hand the hens will cost little o
nothing to keep, so that it will be al
profit.
After sulphur has been used to fumi
gate the hen house the building shoul
be we'll aired before the poultry is re
admitted.
Rye is an excellent food for poultr,
and is particularly valuable in supply
ing green food late in the season, bu
it will produce diarrh9a if fed to-
freely.
