The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1895-06-22

Western farmers find that individual
attempts at fighting the Russian thistle
avail nothing, because the plague grows
again faster than the individual farmer
can find time to hoe it down, 50 they all
unite as often as convenient to have hoe
ing bees in designated localities. The
details of operations are settled by the
Town Councils. every one in the neighbor
hood takes a day of TO fight thistles. and
in this way it is possible to make at least
some stand against the persevering plague
and to keep some sections fairly free for
other than thistle crops.

establishment near London, England,
at which thousands of hens are kept,
and many thousands of dollars are in
vested. The difficulty is that but few
are educated to knowledge of the
characteristics of the breeds, and the
proper mode of management. AS our
country is large there is great diversity
of soil and climate, and the people of
each section must learn the proper con-
ditions for success. There are few
large poultry farms in America, but there
is room for thousands. That poultry
can be made business has been dem
onstrated at several points, but success
has generally attended those who did
not confine themselves to one object,
but sold poultry and eggs, as well as TAX
ing advantage of the highest prices for
early chicks.-The Prairie Farmer.

Tobacco for Hens Nest

Tobacco leaves or stems ground up
fine make good bottom covering to the
nest, lice cannot live where strong smell
ing tobacco is placed and by it's use hens
will lay better because they are not an
noyed by the vermin found among the
flock. Make q layer of tobacco then one
of straw, then another of tobacco and
then straw. The smell of tobacco does
not annoy the hens, and plenty of it can
be used without any fear on that score.

Large Flocks as a Business.


large flocks of poultry is that vermin
and disease sweep off the members, and
thereby discourage all attempts to con-
tinue with a large number. With a
flock of ten or twenty hens the poultry
man has an opportunity of giving daily
attention. and if anything goes wrong it
is quickly noticed; but when large flocks
are kept the matter of having them al
ways in proper condition becomes diff
cult.
Either the entire time of the poultry
man must be bestowed, or the flock
must be reduced. In order to give all
his attention, the number of hens kept
must be sufficient to remunerate HIM
for his labor. If this is not done there
will be no profit. If the number is too
small, the labor will be the result. 1t is
on this point that a ma ority of failures
occur. 1t may be safely stated that 500
hens will not support a moderate family,
but there are few persons who keep
more than tnat number. Like any
other occupation, the expenses must be
taken out, and whether the expenses are
too great or not depends upon the ex-
tent of the operations. AS one man can
attend 1000 hens nearly as well as he
can 500, it is plain that the smaller the
flock the greater the proportionate ex-
pense. Many make the mistake Of en-
deavoring to keep too many fowls to-
gether, thus inviting disease, but more
frequently lice. When lice make their
appearance in large flock of several
hundred it is usually an end of the en-
terprise, as the labor is at once doubled.
BY beginning with clean premises, and
cleaning them daily, as is done with
stables, much difficulty may be avoided
Large fiocks may be kept as easily as
small ones, provided they are divided
into families, and unceaslng vigilance
and attention bestowed
MANAGEMENT IN FEEDING.
1t is a source of complaint that the
large breeds eat more food than the
smaller ones. and do not give as good
results in eggs. This depends, however,
upon how they are fed. If the food is
placed before them in unlimited supply,
so they can eat their fill, there will be
but one result-excessiv fat. All grain
fed to large birds should be scattered
over a surface of ground so as to make
them take as much exercise as possible.
If they have plenty of range it is best to
feed nothing at all except at night, in
order that they may work during the
day, and thereby keep not only in better
health, but avoid taking on too much
fat. If confined, however, the grain
should be scattered in some kind of
litter, such as leaves, as the object
should be to compel them to hunt for
each grain rather than to fill themselves
in few minutes only to sit ON the roost
and fatten like hog. Such hens are
useless, and do not lay, but are always
ready for market.

whole time exclusively to poultry, and

A Frenchtown Scrap.

Missoula, Dec. 25.-Frenchtown was
the scene of a desperate fight last
night as the result of which Lewis
Peterson. a railroad section foreman,
was horribly beaten and the top of his
head was pounded till his skull was
cracked and his scalp a mass of pulp
Dr. Buckley was sent for and left here
at 1880 o'clock this morning. He found
Peterson in a critical condition. but
thinks the wound will not prove fatal
The particulars of the fight have not
been learned. The blows which nearly
killed Peterson were dealt with
Ratchet by a man whose name is not
known here. 1t is stated that he is the
fellow whom Peterson had befriended
and given a home when he was out
of luck. 1t appears that the two men
had been drinking and the trouble
grew out of a drunken argument. No
attempt has been made to apprehend
the assailant, as Peterson will not
make a complaint against him.

tention. II is not particularly stylish,
nor does IL appear to be very COM
Portable. but in all the throng of mer-
ry-makers there has been no party
that seemed to more thoroughly enjoy
the occasion than have the occupants
OF this quaint turnout-three boys, be-
tween IL and IA years of age. The en-
tire outfit was made by the lads them
selves, except. of course the horse, and
he has the appearance of having been
constructed by an amateur.
The sled Is made Of rough boards
and the runners are not shod. They
cut through the snow like the keen
bows of a yacht. throwing IL high on
either side. There is no seat. The lads
sit on the cross-bars of the sled. The
harness Is made of bits of leather and
rope patched together as only a boy
could do 1t. The horse. as stated
above, Is himself a very amateurish
production and corresponds with the
remainder of the outfit most thorough
ly. He is patient beyond measure and
never kicks. although the heads of
heels. His shaggy sorrel sides look
worn and sad and his blazed face is
the picture of detection.
1t is only occasionally that the horse
will trot. He walks along until the
boys are weary of slow going. Then
one of them jumps off the sled and
seizes the steed by the bit. He runs
with the horse for half a block and
then jumps on the sled. For another
half block the horse trots on because
he hasn't energy enough to stop. This
proceeding is repeated at intervals all
day. Sometimes the horse stops almost
under the feet of a flying roadster and
there is a thrill OF excitement as the
crowd watches TO see the boys killed,
but they never get touched. They keep
everybody guessing and they have
more fun than anybody else on the
street.

THE LEMONADE FOLLOWED.
Joe waddy Drove an Unknown Horss Up
and Down the street.

Missoula, Dec. 25.-"The habit oft pro-
claims the man." The same may be truly
said of horses. Joe Waddy demonstrated
that this afternoon. While all the crack
flyers were speeding on the streets Wad-
dy appeared. holding the lines over a
black horse that was right up In the col
lar and pulled well on the bit. The horse
was a lively animal and was rugged out
with quarter boots. knee boots. shoulder
straps and hood. and Waddy wore pair
of immense snow glasses.
There was no end of speculation as the
unknown logged down the street. and
soon the tip was passed by the knowing
ones that Waddy had brought in a ringer
from Spokane to clean up the local
cracks. II was also whispered that the
horse had a mark OF 16 In Portland. wad-
dy logged up and down the streets and
tried In vain to get up a brush with some
of the flyers. They all steered clear of
him and wouldn't go down with him for
a cent. He was king of the road and 1t
was not till the horse had been taken to
the stable that 1t became known that
Waddy had been driving Charlie John
sons Colonel, so disguised that no one
would know him. Then the horsemen set
'em up.
