Poultry Pickings.

Brahma eggs are said to be darkes
in color when the pullets commence
laying late in the fall.
Some of the most successful poultry
men sell the early Matched roosters for
broilers and keep the pullets for
layers.
A duck acts like it was always hun
Cry and for this reason it is an easy
matter to overfeed, and there is moth
ing gained by having them too fat.
Filth from allowing the droppings to
accumulate is, perhaps, the most direct
cause Of disease. There should be a
regular time for cleaning up and il
should be strictly adhered to.
While for some reason it may be a
good plan to bury fowls that die with
contagious disease, the safest plan is to
burn as soon as possible. This destroys
all chance of spreading a disease by
contagion.
When hens have good range they
are able to pick up various kinds Of
food and so have supply of all the
elements that go to make up the eggs
that they produce, but when contin ed

THE POULTRY YARD.
Among The Poultry.

Turkeys are profitable on any farm
if carefully managed.
Large quantities of at-prOduclng
foods are not desirable for laying hens
or growing fowls. Provide variety.
Peculiarly formed, double yolked or
unnaturally shaped eggs of any kind
are said to be caused by hens being too
fat.
Keep one cock for each breeding pen
of fourteen hens. This will do for all
breeds but Asiatics, which require
more males.
Bantams may be Matched at any
time. If the young are carefully kept
from lice they will do as we'll in sum-
mer as if Matched earlier.
Don't forget to occasionally rub a
little lard on the heads, Threats and
under the wings Of young chickens or
the lice will work on them.
Statistics show that the poultry
trade is on the increase in the United
States. The amount of poultry meat
consumed is vastly greater than few
years ago.
Watch the young turkeys and do not
let them wander off. Provide good
open shed for them to roost in. They
will bring good price when fully ma
tured and are worth looking after

Feeding for Eggs.

Cooked feed for the morning meal is
excellent, if composed of the proper
ingredients and fed regularly.
A good mixture may be made of
equal parts ofcornmeal, fine middlings,
bran, ground oats and ground meat.
This should be stirred into pot of
cooked vegetables while boiling hot
until the mass is as stiff as can be
manipulated by pair of strong arms.
The mixture should be seasoned with
salt and cayenne pepper.
Potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips,
onions OF anything in the vegetable
line, clean and free from decay will be
acceptable. Cut clover or hay may
be substituted for vegetables for an
occasional meal.
The above contains a variety of
food clements and such as compose the
egg and the bone and muscle of the
hen, the fat forming elements not be-
ing prominent.
For the noon meal, wheat is the best
single grain. 1t may be mixed with
good heavy oats and scattered in chat
or leaves on the feeding floor.
The night feed should be light one
consisting Of whole corn.
Plenty of grit should be accessible al
all times.
Unless the morning feed can be
given very early we would advise put
ting a little dry meal i'll a hopper fol
them to peck at until their breakfas
is ready.

Eggs for Market.

1t is universally conceded that it
pays to sort and pack carefully all fruit
intended for market, but many persons
are under the impression that when it
comes to eggs this.c care is unnecessary.
AS long as the eggs are not broken
they imagine nothing else matters.
They never made a bigger mistake.
To sell we'll all kinds of food must be
tempting to the eye. Cleanliness is
the first thing to be considered, and
for this reason many Of the eggs must
be washed. The next point is the
uniformity of color, which is attained
by keeping certain breeds that lay
eggs of the same color. In this con-
nection it is we'll to find out the color
in demand, as some markets require
brown eggs, while in others the white
are preferred.
Finally, the eggs should be sorted
according to size. All housekeepers
feel themselves cheated if they find
one or more small eggs among their
purchases. For this reason small eggs
should not be mixed with those of the
usual size. On the other hand, I'M
commonly large ones should also be
laid aside. They are equally obiec-
tionable, as they tend to make the
others appear small by comparison.
Attention to all these points pays in
the long run.-New York World.

A Straw.

The Poultry Yard says that an as
SCISSOR in a small Massachusetts, town
went to the trouble of ascertaining the
number of chickens kept in the place.
There were l,O36 dwelling houses,
l ,120 families, and 944 of them kept
over 100 each and two had over 200.
The total number Of fowls, old and
young in March and April, was IL 200,
of which 10000 were hens, laying
eggs.
If these birds lay a fair average
number of eggs during the year-at
a moderate calculation, say 100 each
land they will do better than this, for
they are largely of the Asiatic, Leg
horn, and mixed varieties)-the egg
product of this one village will be L.
100000 eggs, or about 100000 dozen.
Now this, in single town. half a
dozen miles from large city. is, we
think, sample of what is being done
generally in poultry breeding all over
this country proportionately to the
population.

PATIENCE.
New Rerne journal.

What a virtue is patience What
would become Of US if It were not
for this jewel of the Christian viz
tues?
At home it is 4 panacea. How often
the tired wife whispers to herself, {" BE
patience" The rude wind rOars and
chills her blood, but softly she whispers,
"God IS my refuge and strength,
present help in time Of trouble, and
a calm resignation rests upon her like
a Heavenly benedictiOn.
Patience is blessing to the working
man. He gets up to begin the labors
of the day, but he meets with him
derances on every hand. Breakfast IS
late. Some careless boy has left the
gate open and the stock is IN the field
treading down the grain. Can he be
patience He must be. If he fumes
and frets it delays his preparations,
and when at last he begins his work
he IS all-out of sorts. But, if, with
temper all serene, he commences the
adjustment Of aitalrs-helps his wife
by bringing in the wood and getting
the water, and merrlly drives up the
stock while breakfast IS Cooklng-all
the gods and goddesses vii! help him
in his daily toll and all nature rejoice
in his presence.
Let us be patient in public affairs.
Congress IS enough to try the patience
of lob, and it is no wonder that the
President is fretted but we, the people,
greater than the President and the
Congress, must be patient with both.
1t does no good to fret, and there is a
majority in the people that should
shield them from such IttlencSS
There are hundreds OF men in Con-
gress who fear they will lose their
places if they don't speak-and they
are sure to lose them if they do-and
we must have 4 little patience Wi,h
them, for the places that now know
them will soon know them no IN Ie
forever.
And then, Nh Cleveland y III IN
is more entitled to the charitable
indulgence of the public. He IS rely
tried. There are men whom he
expected TO command who openly
DEFY him, and there are others who
kneel so low before him as to disgust
him; SO that, between anger and
disgust, the honors that he wears are
4 burden to him.
The people are too great to be much
annoyed. They have all the power,
and 1t will not be long before the
President and the Congress will have
great search lights on the political
seas to find where the people are that
they may pay obeysance unto them.
Yes we will be patient, knowing full
we'll that the people can ring the
curtain down when the performance
ceases to be either profitable OF
amusing.

Fair Play for Poultry.
I Philadelphia Farm Journal

The opinion that there is no profit
in poultry is butan impression obtained
by those who keep or see poultry kept
under unfavorable conditions.
Larger live stock would be equally
Improbable if reared and cared for in
the careless manner that poultry is
treated by the average farmer. Horses
are not left to run in the fields and
forest all winter; the dairyman who
expects to sell milk shelters his COWS,
feeds them with balanced rations, and
waters them even the sheep and the
pigs have their pens and shelters, and
are fed in the most scientific manner.
If poultry is to be made profitable,
the tlocks must have rational treatment.
This includes proper shelter, regular
feeding, food adapted to the fowls and
to the season, and the object in feed
ing. 1t includes also attention to de-
tails that may seem unimportant at
first sight.
The farmer, if wise man, feeds
his stock regularly. He has careful
oversight of this work and sees to it
that it is done right. If he can not do
it himself, he appoints one ofhis help
ers to do it.
The fowls do not usually fare so
well. They may miss meal or two
and nobody knows or cares about.
They may get few quarts of corn or
nothing, and may eat snow or drink
from the gutter or go thirsty. They
may perch in trees or on fences, on the
farm implements or in the cattle sheds
and stables, or, even worse. in a dark,
damp. filthy house, and their owner
may give himself no concern, for he
thinks they don't pay anyhow.
Farm Journal pleads for fair play
and common sense in the poultry yard.
1t also tries to help its readers to
see the better and more profitable
methods of poultry keeping.

Ducks for Breeding Purposes.

One drake and five ducks is the pro-
portion OF sexes, and a flock of ten
ducks should supply all the eggs that
may be required for next year. AS
long as grass is plentiful and the ducks
have a wide range they need cost
nothing at this season, but as soon as
1t becomes necessary to feed them the
flock should be reduced to minimum.
as they are voracious. Young ducks
will bring as much now as at any time
during the remainder of the year, and
it will be an advantage to sell them.
The old ducks will prove the best
layers for next year.-Farm and

ATTHE TURN OFTHE ROAD.
BY FRANK l.. STANTON.

Where the rough road turns, and the valley
sweet
Smiles bright with its balm and bloom,
Well forget the thorns that pierced the
feet
And the nights with their grief and
gloom,
And the sky will smile, and the stars VIII
beam,
And well lay us down in the light to
dream.
We shall lay us down in the bloom and
light,
With prayer and tear for rest,
AS tired children who creep at night
TO the love of mothers breast
And for all the grief Of the stormy past,
Rest shall be sweeter at last-at last?
Sweeter because of the weary way
And the lonesome night and long,
While the darkness drifts to the preicct
day
With its splendor Of light and song.
The light that shall bless us and kiss us
and love us
And sprinkle the roses OF heaven above
