start wIth strong sIonk.

The eggs used in Matching out chicks
should be from hens that are active and
vigorous. Hardness is the prime fac
tor in the matter, and good start with
strong stock leaves half the battle
won. Under no circumstances should
eggs be used from inbred stock, or from
hens that are subject to ailments, as
constitutional defects are easily trans
mitted. Toprove this, select for breed
ing purposes a male that is healthy,
but that has some popularity, such as
twisted comb. When the chicks are
old enough to exhibit their combs, the
chances are that every chick will have
twisted comb. Such experime It's
with the male have been made often
enough to fully demonstrate the i'm
portance of selecting the eggs with
great care.-Farm and Fireside.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-06-04
why Eggs Fail to Hatch.

In her natural or wild state, the hen
laya in the spring and summer, when
the conditions for success are favor
able. She is the companion of a vigor-
ous male who may have battled with
some competitor for her favors. The
eggs from such hen always hatch and
produce strong and hardy chicks.
When the domestic hen lays in the
spring, the eggs usually hatch well.
In the fall and winter, when the hen
is stimulated to egg production, has
just passed through the moIting period,
is overfed and confined, and is mated
with some worthless male, the condi-
tons are not SO favorable, and to Sc
cure good matches from her eggs is a
matter of chance to certain extent.
The season affects both laying and
hatching.--Prairie Farmer.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-06-04
The Cause of Small Eggs.

The steady Improvement in the grade
of poultry kept by farmers has resulted
in the increased size of eggs. This diff
ference is SO marked that the eggs pro-
duced in the north always command in
the markets higher price than those
from the south, where the improved
breeds have been more slowly intro
duced. In that section the undersize
of poultry and eggs is doubtless due
chiefly to the lack of new blood. The
facilitating effect of the heat is some
times given as the explanation, but the
true one is rather the lack of care and
proper breeding, the indirect result of
the climate, which, by permitting the
birds to forage all the year round, re-
lieves the owner of much trouble. but
at the same time checks his interest in
their best development.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-06-04
HINTS FOR EEEKEEPERS.

SHOULD colony become queenless
from any cause, three weeks may be
gained by having an extra queen to
give it at once.
No TIME should be lost in giving
queenly colony comb of eggs OF
young larvae, or both, from which to
raise a queen.
THE best time to transfer bees from
= one hive to another is about the season
of swarming, but if care is taken it may
be done on any warm afternoon when
the bees are actively at work.
WORKER bees, being undeveloped
females, may now and then be sufficient
ly developed to lay eggs, but as they
are incapable of meeting the drones
and becoming fully fortified their eggs
will produce only drones.
WEAK colonies may be united after
smoking them well by removing the
combs, with the bees adhering, and
placing them together in one hive,
spraying them with peppermint water,
80 as to give them all the same scent.
To CLIP the queens wings, open the
hive and lift the frame carefully and
avoid jars. When the queen is seen,
with pair of sharp-pointed scissors,
lift one of the front lngs and cut off
about one-half of it, This will prevent
her leaving the swarm.
WORKING with bees at unreasonable
times, leaving honey exposed among
the bees, induces robbing. 1t is only
the weak colonies that are robbed. One
Il. l. a.
keep the colonies strong. Contracting
the entrance so that but single bee
can pass is good cure.
FEEDING early in the spring is often
advisable to stimulate breeding and to
keep the colony strong, so that whon
the early bloom comes, it may be suf-
fciently strong to, gather the honey.
Coffee and A sugar reduced to the con-
sistency of honey is the best Cor feeding
in place of sealed honey.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1895-06-04

Among the many substances that
are the best for inducing egg produc-
ton may be mentioned blood from
slaughter houses In the winter sea-
son it can be kept for quite awhile,
and may be fed by mixing it with equal
parts OF. corn meal and bran to stiff
mess The reports that have come
from those who have used 1t are large
ly in its favor. In the meantime, a
supply of cut bone should not be over
looked. and the hens should have RAJ
ton of such at least every other day.
II those who keep poultry would feed
less grain and take time to procure
such materials as could be had at
small cost from the slaughter houses,
the expense of maintaining the hens
would be much less than when large
rations of grain are used, and the sup
ply of eggs would be more than
doubled. 1t is the sameness of diet
the one kind of food from day to day
that throws the hens out of condition
for laying, and entails loss where
one could just as easily secure profit
by going to little extra trouble to
pTONlue Vdrltby VI lOOu III CTueT W al
ford the hens an opportunity to do
their best.
Green food should not be omitted
from the list at any time. In winter
the best substitute is inely-chopped
clover hay, scalded; and pound of
such food makes large and bulky
meal. Cooked turnips are also excel
lent, and cabbage will be eaten clean
to the stalk. Refuse from the breweries
and glucose factories makes excellent
food for poultry, and the blades Of corn
fodder cut up and scalded are also
relished. 1t is the variety, the change
of food, which keeps the hens in good
working order.
Fowls will eat almost anything, and
without injury. There is no rule by
which to feed them. Give them any
thing that they will eat, but change
the food often. Do not simply change
from one kind of grain to another, but
make complete change, and then re-
turn to grain again. If kept on one
kind of food for time the fowls show
their disgust by refusing it. They
will not lay until they get something
else, as it is required by them, and |
those who feed variety of food will |
make no mistake.-Farm and Fireside.

ter inch space at the bottom of the
box, to keep the grit IN place. Bore
two small holes in the bottom of the
box near what is to be the top, and
hang on nails so as to raise the box a
few inches from the ground, to pre-.
vent the chickens from scratching dirt
in. Put in the grit, oyster shells, char.
coal, etc. and the fowls will have it fresh
and clean, as it will drop down as they
eat it. There will be no waste as when
fed on the ground or in open boxes.
The same arrangement may be used
for feed when it is desirable to keep
feed before the poultry all the time.

Bees Divided Into Classes.

Bees are properly divided into differ
ent classes, and each performs its sep.
arate work. The comb-builders con-
struct the comb the honey-gatherers
collect the nectar from the flowers and
deposit it in the cells, the water-car-
riers bring in the water required for
the support of the young brood, the
nursing bees feed the young bees until
they are old and strong enough to take
care of themselves, the guards watch
over the entrance to the hive to keep
out intruders, the pollen gatberers
gather the farina from the flowers and
carry it in cavities. They all work and
make no mistakes.-St Louis Republic

Feed Beans to tho Hens.

An excellent egg food is good mess
OF beans three times week. Cook the
beans by boiling in an ordinary pot,
add some finely chopped meat, thicken
the mess with ground oats, and give
the hens all they will eat, warm, and
early in the morning. If they do not
then lay it will not be because you
have not given them proper food, pro-
vided you do not omit chopped clover
with grain at night Beans are rich in
nitrogen, and make q very nourishing
food for all kinds of poultry.
