POULTRY PICkINGS,

Duck eggs, when Matching, require
less moisture than do the eggs of hens
IF strong chicks are desired, see to it
that the eggs are from healthy stock
that has not been overfed.
THERE is more profit in raising geese
than chickens, and it is surprising that
progressive farmers do not go in for
them more.
SEE to it that the setting hens have
fresh water and plenty of fattening
food, and do not neglect the supply of
gravel and the dust bath.
WHEN shipping poultry see to it that
the coops are large enough to permit
the fowls to stand up and strong
enough to endure rough handling.
ONLY those chickens which are in
tended for early marketing should
be pushed. With the others it is only
desirable to maintain a thrifty growth.
DURING the first six weeks chicks of
the different breeds weigh pretty
nearly the same. After that time,
though, there is steady and continu-
Gus gain on the part of the large
breads
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1894-06-28

The advantage of the summer season
is that the cost of keeping poultry is
but very little, as the larger share can
be picked up by the hens if they are
on range. The profit in summer is
fully as large as in winter, for the hens
will lay twice as many eggs in summer
as in winter, and thus compensate in
quantity for low prices. 1t should be
impressed on the readers not to feed
grain except sparingly, as the hens will
soon be thrown out of condition by too
much food when the weather is warm.
In some cases excessive heat causes
very fat fowls to succumb. With an
abundant supply of grass, seeds and
insects there will be no lack of varie-
ty. Grain should not be given at all
when the hens are inactive They
should be made to seek their food as
much as possible, and by so doing they
will keep in better health. They
should have plenty of fresh water, and
care must be taken rot to overcrowd
them on the roosts, especially on very
warm nights.-Farm and Fireside.

IN A TORPEDO BOAT.
Sensations Produced by Trip in a Su
marine Vessel.

Sensations Produced by Trip in a Sub
marine Vessel.
Once the little ship is fairly in mo-
ton, we are invited to inspect the en-
CINE room. After gingerly picking our
way down a particularly steep and
awkward ladder. which is rendered all
the more difficult to descend by the
fact that the sea is a tritie "lively," we
come to a region of strong smells, noise
and heat. At first it is not easy to take
in the details, but as the eye grows ac-
customed to the somewhat dim light,
we see in all the glory of its irresistible
powdr the gigantic machinery whir-
ring round. This is called a twin
screw boat, and therefore the engines
we see represent only onehaf of the
total power on board. but as it is they
are rated at more than two thousand
horse power. The other set, also in
rapid motion, are on the opposite side
the boat, and separated from us by a
bulllhead or partition.
Then we 90 into the boiler-rooms,

large enough to exhaust mine. Here
we see the perspiring stol<ers at work,
and wonder how it is possible for them
to stand the terrific heat. As may easily
be imagined, the accommodation for
officers and crew is of a decidedly linn
tied character. A tiny cabin for the
lieutenant in command. fitted with a
diminutive berth. little nest of draw
erS. places for the instruments, such as
thermometers; an equally small apart
ment for the midshipman, who acts as
second in command. These rooms are
situated aft together with anything
but spacious "mesS-room.' Forward
are quarters for the sixteen or twenty
sailors and firemen who compose the
crew. but these are also of exceedingly
narrow dimensions. In rough weather
these boats pitch and toss in most
lively manner, and it is no infrequent
occurrence for men to be thrown clean
out of their berths by the rolling
motion.
After inspecting the remaining
features below deck. we return again
to daylight and find the little vessel
rushing along at terrific speed through
the waves. churning up great masses of
foom with her bows. and the entire hull
vibrating with the rapid motion of the
engines. Soon an officer informs us
proudly that the boat has attained a
rate of fully twenty-four knots, or
twenty-seven land miles per hour,
which is considered highly satisfactory,
After the speed trials the ship is sub
iected to a series of tests to trv her
steering power. Then the
boats head is put in the direction of the
shore and soon we reach the harbor
again. after a most enjoyable and in
structive trip, convinced that the mod

in naval architecture.-Chum

Cut This Out-The following specific
has been used recently to relieve cat
tie from the ravages of the horn-fiy,
with highly satisfactory results. Judge
DeCamp, of Allen, Kan, tried it last
year, and was SO highly pleased that
he wants the general public to get the
benefit of it. We furnish it to our read
ers, as he compounded it: Take ten
gallons of cottonseed oil or any kind
of lubricating oil; one pound of car
bolic acid; two gallons of pine tar; two
pounds of sulphur; two pounds of cop
peras; boil for an hour, stirring well.
Apply with whitewash brush to horns,
head, in groin and all affected parts,
and renew as it wears or washes off.
Larger or small quantities can be made,
by observing the proportions as above.

Modern Gold Mining.

The quartz is taken from the mine,
sorted and then hauled to the stamp
ing machine. Here the ore is crushed
and pounded as fine as flour 1t is
then run through sluice-box that con-
tains quicksilver. As the water carries
the ore over the quick it is taken up
and held by the mercury and forms an
amalgam. The quicksilver is then
placed in retort and brought to the
boiling point. The quick" passes out
of the retort through tube and is col
lected in basin of water. and hardly a
bit has been lost, while the gold re.
mains in the retort in the shape of gold
dust and is now ready for market.
Only about 80 per centum of the gold is
saved by this means, and those who can
or have ore rich enough to justify it
send it to the smelters, where 95 per
centum is saved.

the top. In either case the table must
be provided with foot lever as shown
in the lower cut The middle board is
solid and the outer ones fastened to it
by means of hinges. The outer boards
must be free so that they can be
raised to vertical position. The mid
die board is covered with strip of
leather one foot wide which is firmly
fastened at one end of the board. A
strip of iron is riveted across the other
end of the leather to the middle of
which light chain is attached. Just
inside the strip of iron are three holes
in the leather indicated by H, H, II, in
the upper cut. S, S, S, are grooves
made in the leather for holding the
Irvine in place. To prevent waste of
string use three separate balls of
Irvine, which can be kept in box I'M
derneath the table. Draw the Irvine
up through the holes H, H, H, place
it in the grooves S, S, S, and fasten
in the notches n, n, n, at the
front end of the table. Spread
out the fleece and turn up the side
leaves and fasten them with the hard
wood hook. Now take up the loose
end of the leather and turn it toward
the front of the box rolling the fleece
at the same time Pass the end of
the chain over the front OF the table
and hook it to the foot lever as shown
In the lower cut By pushing the foot
lever downward, the fleece can be
rolled tightly. Bring the ends of the
Irvine through the holes in the leather
and tie. The knots will pass back
through the holes. Turn back the
leather, drop the side leaves, replace
the Irvine and the box is ready for
another fleece. This form of box is
somewhat expensive, and difficult to
construct, but it has the advantage of
rolling the fleece tightly and keeping
it compressed until tied A fleece that
is not parted in shearing will, when
tied in one of these boxes, present a
white, fluffy surface and be more at
tractive to the buyer than if loosely
rolled up on the ground or floor and
tied with common Irvine. Fleeces
thus bound occupy less space and are
more easily handled.
