The Kind of Coops Needed to Insure Sat-
isfactory Results.
Country shippers ought to pay more
attention to the condition of their coops
before using. Considerable stock is
lost by shipping in worn-out coops,
which come apart in transit if roughly
handled, as sometimes happens. Every
coop should be carefully examined, and
all bottoms and cleats securely nailed.
The coops should be strong, but light;
heavy wood is unnecessary if long nails
are used. They should not be SO large
as to render handling difficult.
The coops should be high enough to
allow the poultry to stand easily up
right, and should not be overcrowded.
Too close packing and too low coops
ere cruel and cause loss by suffocation.
Hens and ROSTERS should be shipped
separately whenever possible. All
poultry for the New York market should
be well fattened, and should be fed
lightly before being placed in the coop,
if il reach it's destination the day after
shipping, as the New York law requires
that the crop be entirely empty before
killing. From more distant points pro-
vision must be made for feeding and
watering in transit. At the beginning
of their journey they should be fed
lightly, as overlooking at such time
makes the birds sick and dumpish and
unfit for the fatigues of travel. After
the first day or two, when the poultry
have become accustomed to their new
quarters, the supply of food should
be increased. ALI these things should
be considered and every care exercised
to have the birds arrive in the best pos
sible condition, SO that they may sell
readily at the highest prices. It is
only good stock that really pays. The
shipper who does not get the best
market price for his stock should con-
slider seriously where the fault really

AMONG THE POULTRY.

POULTRY like apples and they are
good for them.
The value of pullet as layer is
uncertain until she has been tried.
THOUSANDS of chicks die because they
arc permitted to become chilled. They
are very tender things.
THE house and fence about a poultry
yard should be substantial, if not orna-
mental. Build both to stay.
ALMOST anybody can devote por-
ton of their time to the poultry bust
ness. The farmer should do it by all
means.
BULKY food is as necessary for fowls
as animals. Chopped clover, sprinkled
with bran, is recommended by p. II.
Jacobs.
ONE trouble experienced by begin
ners with incubators is that they have
never given their poultry any attention
and they practice this sort of negli-
gence with the incubator.
AN idle. hen is as much the devils
workshop as an idle mind. If the hen
has no need of effort to get at least part
OF her food. it need not be surprising if
xhe contracts bad habits.
ANY breed is hardy enough if it is
properly taken care of. If we are after
breed that can be starved, frozen and
kept in filthy houses and yards and
yet live, we had better not go into the
poultry business.
Mosr people who sell eggs as bust
ness, for setting, try to have them good.
They must othat If they expect to con-
tinue in business. AS rule, therefore,
when eggs fail to hatch, we should care
fully investigate the conditions before
blaming the man from whom we pur-
chased them.-Farmers' Voice.

prevent washing. The floor inside is
cemented, the cement being carried up
onto the wall rocks. If the woodwork
above such wall is covered with heavy
sheathing paper, both on roof and walls,
and then shingled, one may bid defiance
to outside cold. The windows should
be only in the higher wall, facing the
south, or better, the southeast, for in
this position the fowls get the sun quick
er in the morning. The door should en-

or less air will come in about door,

From the Democrat. Ptttsfcld, III
Mr.. Valentine Smith, q farmer living in
this county, whose post Office address is
Pittsfeld, ILL.,, for the good OF humanity in
general, and especially for the benefit of
any who may be afflicted as he was, wishes
to make the following statement with ref
erence to the great benefit he has received
from using DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People:
His statement is as follows: ssAbout a
year ago was living in tine Mississippi bot
tom near the river, and had become very
much broken in health, suffering greatly
from distension or hardening of the lower
part of the abdomen or bowels, besides be-
ing troubled with my kidneys and other
complications which rendered my case, as I
had supposed, almost hopeless. I had been
in this condition, although, of course, not
as bad as was year ago, for something
over six years, and had about given up all
hope of ever being well man again, when,
by the many testimonials and advertise
ments I had read with reference to the
wonderful cures perfected by DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People was in
duced to give them trial. After taking
two boxes I began to feel greatly relieved,
and by the time had used up five or six
boxes I was completely cured and have
been, comparatively speaking, well man
ever since. During all the time that was
suffering with this dreadful disease, which
am unable to name, passed many sleep
less nights and was in great distress almost
continually and was able to do but little
work. Now sleep and eat well, and al
though I am sixty-one years of age, / am
able to do good days work on the farm,
having put in and tended eight acres of
corn this season, besides doing q large
amount of other work on the farm. In
short, think your medicine great bless
ing to humanity, and can cheerfully recon-
mend it to all suffering as was. I had been
in this condition six or seven years and had
given everything I could hear of, doctors
included, a fair trial, but could get no relief.

TO AMATEUR MUSICIANS.
There Are Many Advantages Claimed For
the Piano.

There Are Many Advantages Claimed For
the Piano.
Girls who are fond of music are often
undecided about which instrument
they should learn to play. It seems SO
much more clever to be able to play
the violin than the piano, that it is
frequently chosen where the student
would do much better with the latter
instrument. Unless you .have decided
musical talent attempt nothing but
the piano. 1t will take you many
years to become proficient on that, but
few men or women ever gain equal
skill with any instrument on which, in
addition to learning the notes, they
must learn how to make them. Be-
side, although musicians claim
that the violin is sweeter, the
piano and organ are the only
Instruments which represent many
in one, and, therefore, give
some idea of orchestral harmony.
Moreover, a recent critic declares that
no woman can hope to equal men in
playing the violin, for she can not hold
the instrument as well. He also points
out that even when handled in the best
manner possible woman .looks awl1-
ward when playing.
AS to the harp, musicians say it is
the hardest instrument to learn and
the easiest to forget. 1t has also the
disadvantage of getting out of order
at most inconvenient times The writer
has been at a concert where per-
former, one who has fame extending
| over the entire country, broke two
strings during one number of the pro-
gramme. The first entailed a wait of
| fifteen minutes, and no sooner had the
performance recommended than an
other string snapped. and the harpist
| was obliged to leave the platform For
private life the harp can seldom be en-
joyed, except in ones own home; it is diff
fcult to transport the instrument from
place to place. As to the guitar, man
dolin and banjo. while some may learn
to play brilliantly. these instruments
| are too often used by those ignorant
of all musical rules and who play mere
ly by ear. After all, there Is nothing
like the piano, and the patient prac-
tice on this instrument will secure for
everyone degree of proficiency that
will certainly give pleasure. But you

ment. but with as much earnestness
as if it were reading. writing or arith-
