THE PouLTERER.

Too heavy feeding and want Of exercise
tend to barrenness.
Keeping fowls on hard runs or floors will
cause swollen feet or legs.
Hens in confinement need to have egg
shell material supplied to them.
Any kind Of poultry may be improved by
. careful selection and breeding.
Chickens will keep healthier il they can
have loose ground to scratch over.
Even in winter, if the hens are expected
to lay regularly, care must be taken not tc
let them become too fat.
The principal reason why cooked food
fattens the fowls more rapidly is because it
is much more easily digested-
When fowls are closely confined, the runs
need spading up occasionally to prevent
them from becoming too foul.
Early broilers usually prove very profitar
ble Push the growth until they will av-
erage two pounds and then SELL
1t will pay to sell all the common turkeys
and make new start with some of the bet
ter breeds like the Bronze of Narragansett.
A small quantity of sunflower seed given
occasionally will add to the gloss OF the
plumage. A handful to dozen fowls will
be sufficient.
Bran, ground oats and cornmeal make
one of the best rations for growing chick
ems. 1t may be improved somewhat by bak.
ing and then crumbling.
In selecting the hens, il there are any
that have proved themselves exceptionally
good mothers, it will pay to keep tenn over
if they are past years old.
The nests should be dark, warm and sup
piled with good nesting material, which
should be changed regularly, even in win
ter, to prevent its becoming too foul.
Setting hens are scarce in winter, SO it
early chickens are wanted good incubator
will be necessary, the size depending upon
the number of chickens to be Matched.
Leaves or chaff make good litter to scat
ter on the floor, and by throwing grain
among it the fowls will be kept busy
scratching it over, and in this way take ex-
ercise.
One of the principal items in raising
chickens in the brooder is warmth. II
they get chilled, they will crowd together
in a brooder so closely that some will be
smothered.
Wheat is one of the best grains for laying
hens. 1t is rich in material for growth,
while stimulating to the egg functions. At
present prices it can hardly be considered
an expensive feed.
With good treatment pullets Matched in
February will lay in September; those
Matched in March will lay in October, while
those Matched in April will usually begin
laying in December.-St. Louis Republic.

THE POLICE HELPLESS.
Charges Against Well-Known GRIM
inals Being Dismissed.

This is the time when the hearing of
cases in some of the Police Courts against
well-known criminals takes on the aspect
of a farce-c9medy, and the slightest pre-
text is seized upon to discharge them from
custody.
One out of the many instances may be
mentioned. John MarOney has been a
criminal for the past eighteen years. He
has served two terms in San Quentin for
burglary, one of four years aud the other
five years, and several terms in the House
of Correction and County Jail for minor
offenses.
A few nights ago he broke into the bar
ber-sh0p of Antoine Thomas, 306 Fifth
street. where he was found by Policeman
Tobin, and on being searched several
raZors were found in his pockets. He was
considerably under the Influence of liquor
at the time. He was booked on the charge
OF burg ary.
The preliminary examination was held
in Judge Joachlmsen's court yesterday
Policemen TObin and Thomas gave direct
testimony as to Maroney's guilt, but VIII
ness was placed on the stand for the de-
Tense who told a story about Thomas put
ting up the raZors found on Maroney for
drinks.
The Judge said The evidence was con-
f1icting, and he would give Marnney the
benefit of the doubt, which he did by dis
missing the case TO the bewilderment of
the arrestng officer and the barber.
