Tools for Poultrymen.

There are some implements which the
poultryman should procure, not only
because of their efficiency but because
they are laborsaving. Every person who
keeps poultry should have sprayer, so
as to spray the houses AMI yards to pre-
vent lice and disease. A wheel hoe is
excellent for cleaning the yard by loosen
ing the top soil, or, what is better, the
hand pillow or hand cultivator may be
used. A bone cutter, feed cutter Zone
that cuts tine) and small bone-grinding
mill, with perhaps cauldron, should be
among the list of articles, also. The
bone cutter cuts mot grinds) green bone,
and the bone mill grinds hard bones,
oyster shells and cracks wheat and corn.
The work of destroying lice and disin-
fecting poultry house can be done in
few minutes with sprayer where
such work would require an hour or
more if performed without it's aid On
light soils hand pillow Will take the
place of the spade in turning under the
top soil, and the work can be done in q
short time, as well as in a satisfactory
manner.-Exchange

The Poultry Yard.

The laying of soft-shelled eggs is
always a sure sign Of overlooking. In
this connection subscriber at Mont
pelier, VT, writes us as follows: 81 am
keeping thirteen hens and feed them a
hot breakfast, consisting of boiled pota-
toes, wheat brand, corn meal, ETC., and
during the day [ rake in one quart of
oats or wheat into sand and let them
scratch it out. l only get from two to
three eggs a day, and most Of them are
scft-shelled. Do | feed too much
grain?
When an estimate is made of the
quantity of food required for flock it
will be found that to keep the fowls IN
moderate condition about one quart of
grain or it's equivalent is the correct
proportion Of feed for one day, given to
a dozen hens. In the above statement
our subscriber omits the amount given
as the breakfast and fails to state the
breed to which hens belong, as it is also
important, large breeds requiring more
food than the smaller ones. With the
exception of the potatoes (Which are also
carbonaceous) his hens receive either
ground or whole grain, and although it
is of a variety of grain, yet it is not
sufficiently varied to avoid the laying on
of too much fat.
Whenever hens are we'll fed and do
not lay, giving evidence of being in good
thrift also, there is probability that
they are overfed. 1t is sure indication
that they are overfed when they lay eggs
with soft shells, owing to the obStruc-
tion of the generative organs with fat.
Such hens will appear always hungry
because they have been accustomed to
being fed, and the habit established of
receiving their food instead of seeking 1t.
There is but one simple remedy in
case of the above kind, and that is to
reduce the food and keep the hens at
work. Both the morning meal and the
grain ration should be reduced one half
and also substitute of lean meat in
place of the grain should be made every
alternate day. Lime, oyster shells, ETC.,
are not preventives of the laying Of eggs
with soft shells, as the difficulty is due
to too much fat and not a lack OF lime,
the bred containing perhaps sufflciency
of mineral matter. 1t should serve all

the scantlings for a bottom to the saw
dust box which will surround the in
cubator. Lay board four feet 10
inches long and eight inches wide
across back end of incubator, letting it
rest on ends of the two side bottom
boards that extend back. The bottom
of the sawdust box is then complete.
To make one end, and two sides of a
box to set on this bottom, the sides
should be four feet six inches high.
Set this box on the bottom already
made and mil securely. With two
boards 26 inches long and eight inches
wide close front-end of box. Close both
sides in making incubator Close top

two pipes TO fit chimney SO the Chin
ney can be slipped into the pipes tight.
A pipe two and One-half inches j n
diameter is common size, II inches
long, then an elbow and siX-inch pipe.
In the outside or sawdust box make a
hole the exact size Of the pipe, eight
inches from front end and 10 inches from
top. Make hole of same size in the
heater eight inches from the front end
and two inches from top. Slide the
12-inch part Of the pipe through the
hole in the sawduSt and heater
leaving the elbow and six inches of pipe
outside the box and the tive-inch part
pointing down for the chimney. Insert
the other pipe in the opposite rear
corner. The pipes should be scanned as
soldering will melt. Light the wick
and push the chimney as far up in
the pipe as possible without it's SmOk
ing. If the lamp smoke, lower it to
allow air to pass at the top. Two
lamps should keep up the heat in the
coolest weather. After setting the
pipes, fill the sawdust box even full of
sawdust, but instead of putting saw
dust around the tin pipes put earth, as
sawdust might take fire. A little box
nailed outside the Sawdust box to cover
the tin pipe and elbow and filled with
earth will save heat. With six inches
of sawdust underneath the eggs in

Two months ago Sim Collins, of
Tampa, employed by @. e. Ball & Co..
grocers, reported that he had been
robbed of $500 while out making collec-
tions. Two white men, giving the names
Of Topper and Green, were arrested and
identified by Collins as the robbers.
Collins having confessed of taking $50,
was placed in Jail Wi tn the other two.
Tuesday the two white men were placed
on tria. in the criminal court of record
and, on the unsupported testimony of
Collins, the jury astonished everybody
by bringing in a verdict of guilty. Major
Wright and others who believed them
innocent. employed j. B. Wall, jr., to de-
fend them. Judge J, B. Wall set aside
the jury's verdict, and granted new
trial.

His Young Companions Dig Him
Out, and In an Unconscious

Missoula. May 29.-Charlie. the 10
year-old son of A. J. Greenough, had
miraculous escape from a terrible
\ death to-day. and. while he is now out
i OF danger. he is very weak from the
/ shock and strain OF the accident which
/ so nearly ended his life this morning.
With two COMPANIONS named Taggert,
! boys about his own age. he was dig
ging a tunnel in the embankment be-
low the water works reservoir. The
work had progressed so far that young
Greenough. who was working in the
breast of the play tunnel, was probably
five feet from the surface. His COM
panions were just behind him, when
the bank caved. completely burying
Charlie and partially covering the 9TH
ers. The two succeeded in freeing
themselves and at once began to dig
for their companion
At this point two more boys, Hig-
gins and Hoaghnd. came along and
Higgins Joined i'm the work with an
earnestness that encouraged the 9TH
ers. at the same time sending young
Hoagland to Andy Schilling's house
near by for a shovel. Hoagland went
Tor the shovel and met Leo Greenough,
L. j. Greenough's son. and told him OF
the accident to Charlie. Leo jumped on
his horse and galloped up the hill to
see III IL were so. He returned at once
to his mother and told her that Char
lie was buried in the bank. Mrs. Green
ough called to T.. j. Bruins, who was
passing, and he jumped on the horse
ana in a moment was digging as he
never dug before.
Mrs. Greenough had in the meantime
started up the hill on foot and when
she reached the scene Mr.. Bruins was
Just drawing the limp form of the boy

been buried. II have found him." Mr..
Bruins said, but he is dead" And the
lads body did look as IL the spark OF
life had fled. He had struggled to free
himself until his feet were almost at
the back OF his neck and his body bore
the marks Of terrible exertion. Limp
and lifeless, the body was borne to
the residence OF T. j. Greenough. Re- |
storatives were applied and the lads I
body and limbs were rubbed. In a few /
minutes he began to gasp for breath, /
and in half an hour he was conscious /

AN EXPENSIVE CAYusE-
lie Boards at Different Ranches and
Charges the Bill Up 20 His Master.

| Charges the Bill Up TO His Master.
Missoula, May 29.--Judge Logan has
| a cayuse colt, 3 years old. that has been
| missing for the entire period of his
| earthly career. For the first six months
of his absence the judge spent consider
able time and money in searching for
him, but he finally realized that the
colt was costing him more than he was
worth and consequently the search was
abandoned and the animal was charged
10 profit and loss THIS would have
been all right, as the colt is worth. at
the outside, $3.50, but fate destined
him to cause his owner still further
trouble. 1t appears that when he wan
dered away from the warm stable and
tender care of the judge, he strayed up
the Rattlesnake valley and found his
way into Pete Feddersohn's pasture.
and he has been in that neighborhood
ever since. Nobody knew whose prop
erty he was and he has been allowed
TO remain there all the time.
Last week, however, his ownership
was discovered and the judge was sur
prised the other day to see his colt led
up in front of his office, following
meekly after a man who had hold of
one end of the piece of clothes line that
encircled his neck. The judge was I'M
certain as to whether he should feel
glad or sorry, but he was not left i'm
doubt Tor any length of time, for with |
the colt was bill for pasturage,
amounting to SIS. He concluded that |
he was sorry. |
Since that time other bills have come |
IN from men in whose pastures the colt |
has been making his home, until the |
amount charged against the colt u
about $42. AS the value of the beast |
is ouly about $3.50, Judge Logan |
doesn't know just what to do. Just
now, he is attempting to induce the
to take the horse in pay
ment for the pasture fees, but he hasn't
received much encouragement.
