Poultry Notes.

Dry earth sprinkled beautifully under
the roosting perches daily cannot be too
highly recommended, 1t acts as a
deodorizer and preserves and increases
the value of the manure made.
The health of fowls is observable in
the flesh and fiorid color of the comb,
and the brightness and dryness of the
eyes, the nostrils being free from any
discharge and the plumage Of healthy
gloss.
For canker in fowl use a powder COM
posed of three parts of sulphate TO cop
per and one part of alum, powdered and
mixed thoroughly. Sprinkle on the
canker spots until they disappear.
When building your poultry houses
build separate house for each yard
and front it to the south with u large
window low down, so the fowls may
get sunlight and warmth. A house SIX
10 feet is large enough for eight to ten
fowls.
Lime is one of the best preservativeS
of lice, and should be used freely at all
times, as it makes the poultry house
ght and clean and the cost is but a
trifie.
The poultryman who has supply of
milk to feed his fowls has one of the
best ''egg foods" known to the fancy.
Many of our readers claim that sur
plus milk fed to the poultry pays far
greater dividends than when fed to the
pigs.
No true fancier can be induced to sell
the best birds in his flock 1t is only by
carefully selecting the best and breed
ing from the same, year after year,
that we reach the high standard and
build up a successful strain of fowls,

May and June Hatched Chicks.

Say what you will bout the advan-
tages of the early Matched chicks, those
that come off in May, and even in June,
possess many advantages. The early
chicks come at time when the weather
is cold, and unless we are prepared to
give them the best attention they be-
come weak and diseased from various
causes.
The May or June Matched chick has
green food In abundance, insects are on
the wing, and the old hen finds worms
and grubs in abundance for her broods,
the warm rays of the SUN play an inn
portant part, and give health and vigor;
and although starting later, they grow
faster, and generally make the healthier
and more vigorous birds. There is an
other feature, too, that we wish to call
the beginners attention to. Warmth,
green food and insects play an i'm portat1t
part with the hens. They commence
to shell out the eggs and the breeder
wisely reduces his prices. So you see
we get better and more fertile eggs this
late in the season for considerably less
money. In a nul shell-better and more
vigorous chicks, which can be more
easily raised, for less money. So we
say, don't let the lateness oil the season
deter you. For the amateur or beginner
this, in our opinion, is the best time to
buy eggs for start towards breeding
the fancy. In this section chicks
Matched in May or June will grow off
without any care except that received
from the old hen. So the wise bryo
fancier, by starting late, can reap the
honors without much to waste of vital
force.-Southern Poultry Journal.

shelled egg by taste alone. Eggs are
affected by the food the hen eats to a
greater degree, perhaps, than the aver
age person thinks. Feed your hens in a
filthy yard, on soiled meat scraps or
damaged grain, and the eggs are not
wholesome. The same principles oper-
ates in this instance. that does in caus-
ing the milk of a brewery fed slop cow
to be poisonous to infants. Fowls con-
fined in a yard where there is but little
grass will eat enough weeds to affect the
taste Of their eggs. While living in
Florida in 1886 | was surprised to hear a
lady, who had large flock of hens, and
whose dwelling was in the midst of a
grove Of bearing orange trees, remark to
a lady friend, that they could not eat the
eggs her hens were laying they was
too bitter. Both ladies' experience were
the same and inquired the cause. l
was told the hens eat the white petals of
the orange blossoms that fell to the
ground when the blossom wilted, and
that the eggs of hens that run in an or
ange grove will alwaysbe bit .er m ore or les
in blossoming time. Corn has the effect
of Causing eggs to have dark rich yelk,
while wheat fed hens eggs are pale
yellow. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
the lighter velk eggs are as rich as the
dark ones, since wheat is as rich food
as corn. Now, while food has d consid-
cradle influence upon eggs as shown so
far as the color of yelk and taste is con-
cerned, it has no perceptible influence
upon the shells. While certain breeds,
the Minorca, Spanish and Leghorns, in
variably lay white shelled eggs, still the
distinctive shape and color of all the
eggs of domestic poultry are as a rule as
marked and esta blished a feature as is
the case with wild birds. Many think
the presence of male bird is necessary
to promote egg laying but such is not
the case; and when hens are kept for
eggs alone the male Can be dispensed
with. The eggs from hens where no
male is kept will keep much longer,
being infertile, than others.

laughter from the rising of the cur tain in the first act to its drop in the last act. In fact, there Is not much to the play in the way of plot or otherwise, except humor, and it is entertaining and amusing rather than instructive, and on that account Is a winner, as the majority of ] theatre goers want to be amused rather than instructed. The indi- vidual members of the company deserved special mention, but as there were no programmes dis tributed in the audience. 1t is im- possible to do this. Mir.
