A Providence young man, Frank p.
Boland, is the inventor of patent ex-
tinguisher for kerosene lamps or oil
stoves, or any kind of lamp that uses
wicks. 1t will soon be placed upon the
market. A company has already been
formed and small number OF shares are
to be sold. Q. II. Kittredge q Co., Indus
trial Trust Company building, dealers
in high-gra investment securities,
have the formation of the company
in charge and will be pleased to
show interested parties the simple yet
practical automatic wonder which is sure
to revolutionize the lamp burner business
in this and other countries, besides being
a boon to the public.
No mere smoking, fiickering or sputter-
ing OF kerosene lamps. The little brass
Boland cap does the work completely.
The season Is fast approaching when
the bicycle will have full sway. More SO
than ever this season, say Whitten Cycle
Manufacturing Company. The Victor
will still remain leader for general use,
but the 19-pound Orient is liable to find
favor with many. Look over the stock at
Infantry Building, where the salssrooms
of the company are located.
Turkish baths are luxuries appreciated
by those who indulge in them, and q
good many do so at 36 Aborn street.
Just a word about taking off the hat In
the elevator of public building when
lady happens to get aboard. 1t is not the
proper thing to do unless you wish to
make the aforesaid lady regard you with a
plying look.
Last evening in speaking about crepons
l intimated that they were high priced.
/ found upon inquiring at the III. w. Ladd
Company that crepons may be obtained
all the way from as low as 90 cents a yard
as high as one wants to go. Crepons are
to be right in line this season. Easter
comes little late this year, but the trade
has already set in.

was in j. Putney d Co.'s, 76 Westmin-
ster street, the other day and noticing
some thermometers hanging on the wall
the subject of the heat and cold chroni-
clers was discussed for a moment. Great
improvements have been made of late
years. The Messrs. Putney q Co. have
all kinds of Thermometers noting de-
grecs of heat as high as seven hundred.
The concrete men, the breweries and
others use the latter kind. Every we'll
regulated household should have ther-
mometer to regulate the degree of tenn
perature.

for it's practical as for it's ornamental
qualities. 1t illustrates very we'll the
difficulty of accurately classifying fowls
into practical and ornamental. for all
practical fowls are more or less orna-
mental, and all ornamental fowls are
more or less practical. There is no
breed or variety of domestic fowls that
has not both utility and beauty, and
classification upon such principle can
be made only as utility or beauty seems
to be the paramount quality, and some
times these elements seem so evenly
balanced that one is in doubt to which
class to assign the fowl. In the case
of the Black Sumatra, however, the
beauty Of the fowl is SO great that it
fairly overshadows it's utility, and one
does not hesitate in classifying it as an
ornamental fowl.

Corn and Eggs.

Tt is a fact that when corn is fed liber-
ally to poultry the eggs are large and tn :
yolks are fuller and deeper IN color,
yet the loss of eggs from the free use OF
corn in the summer season may be
greater than any gain in size. Corn is
the standard feed on all farms. and
nothing is better for fattenlng stock or
providing animal heat in winter; but
there will be better results from the use
of corn If it is fed with judgm ent.
There is no necessity for it's use in
summer, as the elements derived from
corn are plentiful in other substances
secured by the fowls. Glover, which is
not only richer than corn in mineral
matter, is usually plentiful at this season,
and being in green condition is very
digestible, which permits the hens to
consume it in large quantity, thus Civ
ing food which Is cheap and more
suitable for the production Of eggs than
corn because it is not so concentrated
or heating. Those who use corn largely
now will find the supply of eggs falling
off, and they should be careful or the
hens will become too fat.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-07-10
The Profit on a Flock.

The average profits on large numbers
of fowls cannot we'll be estimated, but
if one dollar profit in a year is secured
from each hen after paying for all ex-
penses of shelter and food, it will be
above the average. Out of this must
come the cost of labor, and as it is a
very experienced and energetic man
who can manage thousand hens, the
lab0r is great drawback. 1t is true
that three or four dollars profit per hen
is said to be secured with small flock,
but the labor is never charged up in the
account, while the table scraps and re-
fuse assist in lesSening the cost. With
a Thousand or more hens the table scraps
do not figure very largely, but the labor
is constant and must be paid for, to say
nothing of the increased risk of loss of
fowls by contagious diseases. 1t is i'm
portant to have experience. No one
should invest too much in poultry who
has not before kept fowls in large
numbers. To succeed, Que should begin
with few hens and gradually increase
the number. While SO doing there will
be an opportunity to study many details,
and to learn how to avoid mistakes.
Nearly all failures are due to mistakes
IN the beginning. No one has ever sue
ceeded who began with a very large
number. Many large poultry farms
have been abandoned because their
owners attempted to do business with
out experience.

into this world "they are watching and
waiting for him." and when he does
tumble out, and before he Can stand alone,
they are on his head sapping his life blood
away. We have had them on our fowls,
both old and young, and we wish to say
right here that it is almost an i'm
possibility to keep them away. You
may put powders in the nest, oil on the
roosts, runs, and in fact every available
place, and unless you keep everlastlngly
at it they will in an ungarded moment
pounce down on YOU by the thousands
Our advise to the fraternity is to fight
this common enemy with all the vim and
energy you have, and my word for it you
will have but little cholera, or any of the
dread diseases that infest the "feathered
race"
A few more words and am done.
Select the breed or breeds you like and
do your best to raise them up to standard
requirements, and do not say that what
you have is the only good varieties FOR all
thoroughbred fowls, it matters not what
may be their name, are better than mon
grels. And because like one breed, and
you another, is no cause for envy or
strife in this broad land of ours.-J. w.

The Black Sumatra Fowl.

fowls In this country Is the Black SUI
matra. Rare breeds run the risk of be-
coming more rare each year of their ex-
istence, because continued close lnbreed-
ing is likely to be followed even to the
verge of extinction, if happily it does
not go beyond the verge and lead to de-
Struction The more breeds the better
opportunities of obtaining fresh blood,
and the better the chances of maintain
ing the vigor of the breed. 1t is well,
however, to remember that even closely
related fowls, if bred in widely sepa-
rated and very disslmiiar places. sur
rounded by very different environme nt
when brought together have something
of the effect of a union of unrelated
fowls. Environment seems to have a
modifying power upon their blood, and
to obviate some of the ills of inbreeding.
The Black Sum stra is suffering some
what from the effects that are common
to rare breeds. Its slz" is hardly what
it's admirers could wish it to be, and
hardly, it seems to me, what it was ten
years ago. 1t is now a small fowl and
yet within ten years have seen birds of
this breed that were Of as good size, and
owing to their plu image looked really large
1t is possible that it's constitution would
not be injured with an outcross with a
large. vigorous, short legged Black Game
breeding OUT of course, the antagonistic
characteristics which such cross
might introduce. The beauty Of the
fowl warrants adetermined effort on the
part of it's admirers to make it all that
it is capable of becoming
The plumage is a solid black as lust
rous as any color can be, shining and
shimmering in the sunlight. The tail of
the cock is long, full and carried very
low, the beautiful sickles and abund ant
covers almost sweeping the ground.
The comb is triple, not as perfect as a
pea co ND, and might be i'm approved by
careful selection. The legs are rather
short, and, as they ought to be, black IN
color. The outlines of the fowl are
graceful in the extreme One peculiar
ity of the breed, which is possessed by
some pheasants, but which, do not rec
ollect as being possessed by other fowls,
is the mum Der Of spurs the cock has. In
nearly all of our domestic fowls a single
spur upon each shank serves the cock
as a weapon of offense and defense, but
nature has provided more literally for
the Sumatra, the cock frequently having
two spurs upon each leg, and sometimes
three Some have but one on each leg,
and the extra number is Of no practical
or ornamental value for domeSticated
fowl. Many have argued from this fact
and from the peculiarly long and some
what horizontally carried tail that the
Sumatra is descended from the pheasant
but while pheasants and domestic fowls
do sometimes produce hybrid offspring,
I believe there is no recorded instance
where such offspring has been
fertile Every one has proved to be
sterile, incapable of breeding with either
parent race, aud of course would be in
capable of breeding with another hybrid
of like parentage Hybrids are some
times fertile when bred with either
parent, but when bred inter Sc are al
