you see the town has an ordinance
forbidding bicycle riding on the side

that way, SO what does this justice do
but scoop out a hole and make great
big mud puddle clear across the street
right in front of his Office. OF course,
when wheelman comes along, rather
than ride through the mud, he turns
upon the sidewalk. That's what the
justice is waiting for. He has con-

out and nab the cycler.

FATTENING BROILERS.
Some Hints About Preparing Choice
Poultry for Market.

Some Hints About Preparing Choice
Poultry for Market.
In fattening broilers, the Poultry
Keeper says it must be considered that
much of the food will be converted into
growth of frame rather than fat, but
the adult fowl, having ceased growing,
fattens rapidly. Broilers are very diff
cult to fatten. No attempt should be
made to force them until they are
eight weeks old, and have passed the
"feathering process" as overlooking
may be detrimental, especially in caus-
ing leg weakness, the legs being un-.
able to hold the weight
The best mode is to feed mixture of
equal parts of cornmeal, bran and
ground oats by measure, moistened to
stiff dough by fresh milk, as morn
ing meal. AT noon give cornmeal, add
ing to each quart of cornmeal a table
spoonful of powdered charcoal freshly
burnedD, a tablespoonful of bone meal,
gill of ground meat and four ounces
of crude tallow. Scald the mixture and
mix well. At night give cracked corn
and whole wheat. Feed as much as
they will eat, but never leave food be-
fore them. Between meals give a mess
of chopped grass or clover or any green
feed in the morning, with a little mil
let seed between meals in the after
noon to make them scratch. The above
method of feeding will also serve for
fattening adult fowls as well.

An Excellent Heater and ventilator for

Among the many plans now in use for
warming the poultry house, the heater,
illustrated below, supplies heat and
ventilation, or supply of fresh, warm
air. Any kind of fiat top stove, or
even a kerosene stove will give sufficient
heat. The size of the stove should de-
pend on the size of the house, but 40 de-
grees is sufficient heat. The illustration
shows closed box a yard square and

The labor cost is the heaviest in all

this item of labor figures very promi-
nently, but when it is considered that
the item of labor can be balanced by the
loss of time from inability to employ
labor during the winter season the real
cost of labor is the difference between
it's value and the time that would other
wise be wasted; hence any occupation
in winter that permits the farmer to
apply labor in some direction from
which he can receive remuneration is
a clear gain, and should be so consid-
cred. There is also the opportunity to
feed articles that are too low in price to
be sold in market, such as corn fodder,
turnips, and even potatoes, which be-

BILE labor if the ordinary method is fol-

same size and shape, are procured and
nailed together side by side, and to the
top of the bin thus made cover is at

box must be of a size sufficient for hold
ing all the grain of any one kind that
must be kept on hand, but this will not
be difficult matter, for boxes of every

and dry goods stores.-N. Y. Tribune.

There Must Be a Division.

Gentleman Thinks there is an element
of error in this. Carry out this idea to
an extreme, ara you blot out the dis

ical, so N the animal world--there must
be division of labor. We owe all the
improvement of the present day in all
classes of domestic live stock to special

NOTES FOR BEEkEEPERS.

1t is the bees reared in the fall that
we have mainly to depend upon during
the winter and spring.
Each colony should have frame or
two of brood, for it is the bees Matched
in the fall that survive the winter.
The objection to leaving honey in the
combs late in the fall is that it is apt to
become dark in color.
If bees are to be wintered in cellars,
care must be taken to have them dry, as
dampness induces disease.
More bees are lost on account of bad
food or none at all than from all other
causes combined, especially in winter.
There is no factor in wintering bees
that is so important as the matter of
food, and it is one that is often neg
lected.
It is often the case that there is more
or less robbing while feeding in the fall
and it is an almost certain indication
that something is wrong.
All colonies in good condition at this
time should have portion of brood in
the combs, and if this is not the case
something is wrong with the queen.
Quietude is one of the essentials in
successfully wintering bees, whether in
or out of doors. Never disturb them ex-
cept when strictly necessary.
One way of making nice entrance
during the winter to the hives of bees is
to spread sawdust over considerable
surface in front of the hive and filling
up level to the entrance.
Mice are very fond of honey and will
soon clean out a colony. Before winter
begins, it will be good plan to fix up
the hives so that it will be impossible
for mice to get inst. Louis Republic.

How to Fatten Turkeys.

Turkeys will not fatten if confined in
close coops, as they pine if deprived of
liberty, but if several turkeys are con-
fined together in small yard for ten
days they can be made quite fat in that
lengtRof time. Feed three times a day
as much as they will eat, giving corn
meal, ground oats, middlings and
ground meal, equal parts by weight,
scalded, morning and noon, and wheat
and corn at night. Keep head of cab
bage in the yard, also sharp gravel.
ground charcoal and fresh water. A
few turkeys can be fed with chickens,
if preferred. 1t is not necessary to
force them to eat.

rrees Arc fhe Farmer,s FrIends..

Farmers seem to give very little at
tention to forestry, and great tracts of
timber are cut without regard to the
future. Now that we have hid severe
drought in some sections, while other
sections have been dry in previous years,
it is time to consider the cause, which
is claimed 10 be the destruction of the
trees. If there is an induoement to cut
timber because it brings high price,
it will be at the cost Of droughts and
losses in, the future.

SOME TIMELY HINTS,
Observe Them, If You Want Eggs During
the Winter Months.

observe Them, III You want Eggs During
the Winter Months.
1. Get the hens into healthy growing
condition, shrinking, if necessary, to
remove surplus fat, or adding to, if
poor. In the first instance, feed only
on cooked vegetables and oats or bran;
in the latter give more corn.
2. Make the ration one rich in egg
materials. Let a certain per cent. of
animal food, meat scraps, meat, meal, or
food of this nature be given daily. One
pint to a pailful of cooked food is
enough.
3. Feed to promote health rather than
destroy, and temper the quantity. A
wooden pail full of cooked vegetables,
or cooked clover, with two quarts of
mixed ground grain worked well into
the mass, is breakfast enough for 80
hens. Reduce rather than exceed this,
the sole object being to satisfy the
claims of hunger and promote activity.
Let the night ration be not more than
one quart of mixed grain (whole) to
IL hens, be so scattered about the chatf,
leaves, straw or earth, that only kerr
mel will be found at time. This means
that the hens will scratch busily until
dark, and this it is which promotes
egg building. In the coolest weather,
fill the crops just at night with corn,
for the same reason that you fill the
stove with coal-to keep warm.
4. Three or four. times a week feed
cooked or chopped clover with ground
grain in the morning mash.
Glover, animal meat, meal or scraps,
wheat, vegetables and oats, if fed as
indicated to hens having comfortable
pens, will insure steady egg production.
