North Carolina State Poultry AS
ISOLATION.
Progressive Farmer. |

For years North Carolina has been
an important poultry State. Our eggs
and chickens are famous all over the
Union. However, there has been little
system about the business, either in
growing or marketing poultry and eggs.
Game and other well known breeds
have been introduced, but until re-
Gently there has been no association in
the State. At last start has been
made and the character Of the promo
tiers is a guarantee Of future success.
The Association was formed at New
Berne some time back, with the fol-
lowing named officers President, T.
A. Green, New Berne; 1st Vice Pres
ident, w. M. Dunn, New Berne; End
Vice President, J. T. Kerr, Haw
River 9rd Vice President, T. H. Muir

A. Mcintyre, Jacksonville 5th Vice
President, S. w. Crowell, Wilson ;
Secretary and Treasurer, r. A. Rich

mittee, W. H. Bray, L. S. Wood, Ralph
Gray, J. L. Hahn, New Berne w. T.
Dortch, Goldsboro T. J. Davis, Char
lotte ; Cooper & johnson, Graham.
This is a step in the right direction.
Now, if every man interested will put
his shoulder to the wheel this impor-
tant industry will go forward as it
should.

How would you enjoy living in such a
house this winter?
Much can yet be done to make the
poultry quarters comfortable for winter
weather. The roof may be mended,
the walls battoned or lined with paper,
the glass replaced with new or a sash
put into front that now has none.
AS an egg persuader, try equal parts
Of bran, corn meal and ground oats
mixed with one-eighth part Of linseed
meal, that is, four quarts of the linseed
meal to the bushel of the grain MKT
ure. Dry ground meat may be mixed
with this. Ifcut raw bone is used feed
it separately.
One of the best bulky foods for poul-
try when the foraging season is over is
cut clover hay. Any kind of hay, even
corn fodder, is good. It should be cut
short. If put up in bales or bags of
convenient size, this cut fodder would

poultry keepers.
Hens like portion of their living
department dusky, and even dark, that
they may indulge their natural procliy-
ity for secreting themselves while lay
ing and roosting.
Those who are accessible to large
bakeries can sometimes get stale bread,
cakes and crackers by the barrel at
very low prices. This refuse makes a
nourishing and economical food, but
should not be used exclusively. To
make complete diet meat and vege-
tables should be added to the ration.
Much of the gravel furnished to
poultry is too smooth. Like a worn
milestone, it does not perform its func-
tions in the gizzard, and hence the
birds are not nourished; they suffer
from indigestion, and the hens do not
lay. Food fed to fowls not we'll sup
piled with sharp grit is worse than
wasted.

Indigestion in Fowls.

The most frequent cause of indiges-
ton in fowls is the same as that with
humans-over eating. It may be stated,
however, that the hens have no teeth
and must have some kind of hard and
sharp substances with which to assist
in grinding their food. In some Sec
tons this cannot be procured by them.
Indigestion is frequently mistaken for
cholera, and all kinds of suggested
cholera remedies are used as cures,
which do more harm than good. The
best remedy is to compel the hens to
fast forty-eight hours. Grit may be
provided by the use of pounded glass
or broken china. There is no risk in
giving such materials, as the hens will
not swallow more than they may need.
If the hens are fat (Which is usually
the case when they are affected by in
digestion) they should receive no food
but that which they can secure for
themselves by foraging and scratching.

Eggs liz Winter.

In very many cases the failure to Sc
cure plenty of eggs in winter IS largely
on account of lack of proper care.
There is considerable in the selection
of the fowls in the fall. In maj orlty
of cases more or less poultry is sent to
market in the fall on account of not
caring to winter SO many, and when
this is done proper care should be
taken to select the early Matched pull
lets, taking care in every case TO select
the best. This is the starting point in
securing plenty of eggs in winter, as
without hens that with good treatment
can be depended upon to lay eggs all
of the rest of the work will come to
naught. The keeping over Of hens
that are past two years old and also
the keeping of too many roosters that
are unnecessary, add to the expense Of
keeping poultry, while they add moth
ing to the income. A little care in
culling out and marketing these will
help materially in making poultry pay.
After hens that, when properly treated,
can be depended upon are secured, the
next important point is to provide
comfortable quarters. No matter how
well the hens are fed or how carefully
they are selected, they must be kept
warm in winter, and comfortable
house is the first essential in providing
warmth. 1t need not be expensive.
The main point is to keep dry and have
warm.
On the farm it will be an exceptional
case where the farmer will care to go
to any considerable expense in build
ing a poultry house, yet, as with other
stock, they are worth keeping in way
that will give the best profit.
So long as the weather will permit
giving the fowls full range it will not
be necessary to feed very heavy. They
will be able to pick up a good part OF
their living, with the advantage that a
good portion of what they pick up
would otherwise so to waste. A vari-
ETY. of feed is very necessary to feed
with anything like regularity. One
advantage of giving them good range
is that they will pick up more or less
of variety. Wheat is one of the best
rations for eggs that can be given and
be made leading ration. Give whole
corn at night for warmth, as no grain
will excel corn for maintaining animal
heat. Then use wheat as one Of the
leading rations at noon, using oats,
rye, sorghum seed or grains of this
class to make up variety. Then use
the table scraps warmed thoroughly or
if need be cooked thoroughly to soften,
adding wheat bran to thicken for the
principal morning ration. Provide them
clean nests in convenient place, and
there will be no difficulty in securing a
good supply of eggs through the winter.

The Atlanta campaign found the regi

June 81 $50 men were in the angle, since

The point was a mountain spur with steep
slopes, and no abatis, slashings, or other

war cry within the angle and men grasped
their rifles only to see the enemy closing in
at ten PAGES, the leader waving his sword
and saying to his men in tones plainly
heard in the angle: Come on. Well
take"- A bullet cut short the speech,
and the line dissolved under deadly vol
ley from "Tennessee's Own
Another line followed, and another, and
another, until the rihemen in the angle
found their pieces too hot to hold. Two
brigade leaders and a score of colonies and
captains among the assailants, fell under
their craftsmanship. The Tennesseeans
had slight breastwork but no head logs,
and it wasn't the most comfortable feeling
in the world to see line after line of men
with determined faces pressing their bare
bayonets before them up the hill in a
steady, persistent stream. But there
seemed always little more left in the re-
sources of the Confederates, and at the
critical juncture, when the boys were
about overpowered and outdone, those ex-
United States Napoleons again poked out
their muzzles, growled and spit fire, and it
was all over with Shermans grand assault
on Kenesaw. The First lost q killed and
wounded, and claims to have stretched out
ten times that many foemen in front of the

After Kenesaw the Confederates changed
tactics and began to deal blows as we'll as
take. In the daring sorties led by Gen
Hood in July, before the city fell, the First
paid its dole of blood for past omissions.
When Hood turned ON his hunters and
lodged back to the fair plains of central
Tennessee, the banner of the First tossed
proudly above the butternut ranks, and the
Maury Grays, the Guards and the Rifles of
Pulaski, Columbia and Franklin stopped
for cheering word, a kiss a handshake at
the old home, charged the guns at Frank

front Houghtaling was masked in the
edge of a wood between Nancy and Bush.
The First and a couple Of other regi-
ments charged on Bush, leaving Houghta-
ling on their flank for other hands to tackle.
Bush retired when he saw what was COM
ing and crossed a turnpike in his rear. The
pike was inclosed by two high rail fences,
and while the Tennesseeans were
thinking how ticklish it was going to be
to climb them under fire, Houghtaling
opened on the First with canister and
shell at 200 yards. His guns were SO
placed that Col. Field thought it must be
a Confederate battery firing by mistake.
His aids rode forward to see about it and
one was killed and a second fired upon by
Houghtaling's supports. The men Of the
First then lay down and piled their mus
kets into the wood. The ex-United States
Napoleon guns captured at Perryville
also took hand, having wheeled into bat
terry on the ridge Tacated by Bush. Bush
halted just across the pike, turned and
opened and in no time the rail fences be-
came cloud of flying splinters. The First
made another squirt for Bush's guns, but
he was too quick for them, and they only
succeeded in heading off Houghtaling's
remnant, minus % horses and 20 men shot
down. The First lost SO killed and wounded.
Chickamauga was the next fight of the
regiment and it was in the second line
again. The last of it's old enemies, Bush's
battery, had been captured by the first
line and the Tennesseeans charged no guns

road tunnel. Maney's brigade was in re-

moved up to the barricade.
Sherman's men were within fifteen PAGES

PUBLIC HANGINGS.
Wilmington Messenger

We are not surprised to learn that
there is strong public sentiment at
Winston against public hangings. The
sentiment exists more or less in all in
telligent communities. It is astonish-
ing that any community at this stage
of enlightenment and progress remains
satisfied to have in its midst such a
barbaric display. The evils of public
execution have been long discussed in
the North, and it is relic of an unen-
lightened past that tolerates their con-
tinuance now. The scenes that have
occurred within a few years in North
Carolina, and 10 other Southern States,
at public executions Of criminals, have
been unworthy of any people profess
ing to be Christian and enlightened.
1t is well known that it is the worst
part of the population, with few excep-
tions, that attend hangings. It is a
very morbid and vitiated appetite for
the sensational and the cruel that leads
people to gather to see being die for
his crimes against society. A peoples
character can be seen in their sports.
Where there are sports that are coarse,
vulgar, rough, cruel, there you will
find people who have these elements
of character under educational and
modern veneering. Wash off the ex-
terror which certain culture and hered-
itary inheritances have given to them,
and you find underneath the cruelty
and coarseness that nature that distin-
guished the Berserkers and Norsemen
in Northern Europe in the time of the
Vikings and when the Niebelungen
Lied was being created by the rugged
genius of many writer's. The foot ball
Of our times reflects expressly the char
acter of those indulging. 1t came from
England-a country that has always
loved cruel, rude sports.
A peoples civilization and refine
ment and merciful nature may be seen
in the things they like. Men who
love gandel pullings, cock fighting,
bull batting, rude and dangerous sports,
and the public hangings of men and
women who die at the hands of the
law, can not be said to have reached
any high plane of social refinement
and kindly sympathy for suffering NOR
tality.
The public hangings should all be
suppressed in North Carolina. They
are unworthy of any free and intelli-
gent and merciful people. They are
the occasion of drunkenness, often
violence, and pander to the meanest,
most depraved appetite of ignorance
and superstition. Many scoundrel
as he is made to forfeit his life for his
crimes, is regarded by the gaping,
stupid, sensation loving crowd who
hang round the glbbet as both martyr
and hero. So far from aiding in re-
pressing crimes, they provoke evil
natures to crime, as bad books fan the
fires of ambition and cupidity in boyish
heads and make them robbers and
| murderers.

Bone for the Poultry Yard.

Green bone, fresh from the market,
is valuable food. Dry bone, as found
at poultry supply stores, contains little
nutritive food, says Farm Poultry,
which explains that the former is not
bone alone, but contains a large per
cent. of meat and gristle, and by a
little selection of these bones they
often contain IS per cent. of nutrient
material. The dry bone is invariably
produced by prolonged boiling or steam
ing, and often potash and naphtha are
used in the process to extract the last
particles of fat in them for soap making
purposes. Green bones and dry bones,
as the terms are used, are practically
different things.

The Best Poultry Crosses.

Opinions differ as to what breeds
and crosses are the best business fowls.
A writer in the Famciers' Journal has
selected the Light Dramas for roasting
fowls, the Black Minorcas for eggs and
the Black Langshans crossed by the
Black Minorca for broilers. The Black
Minorcas used are not strictly pure
bred, they have an outcross with Lang
shan to give them extra hardness and
larger bodies. The Light Brahmas are
used both in their purity and crossed
by Indian Game. But there are other
good breeds that can be selected, nota-
bly, the Plymouth Rock, the Wyan-
dotte, the Houdan and the Leghorn,
and with probably as good results as
this writer obtains with his selections.
