In the general conversation between

use of machinery, instead Of the canal

Greater Poultry PROFITS.

Years ago, says E. III. Davis in The
Poultry Monthly, the poultry business
was not as lucrative as it is at the
present time. During the winter
months, although our poultry was well
sheltered and fed and great care used
to keep the buildings clean, giving
plenty Of fresh water, etc., We found at
the opening of the spring we had no
remuneration for our labor, as cost of
grain, scraps, potatoes, etc, far ex-
ceeded the income of eggs.
We have now a better way of feeding.
and most excellent results have fol-
lowed. We feed cut green bones in
fair quantity every other day, and some
of the time every day. They are mex
pensive, and with good bone cutter
they make when cut fresh every day
so nice food that We can only liken
it to nice rare steak to a hungry man.
The fowls love it. They thrive, and the
chickens grow rapidly when fed on it.
The mineral part of this food gives
chickens material for their growing
bones, and for the laying hens the
shells, while the meat, gristle and
juices In these green bones give ma
terial for the flesh to the growing
chickens and interior of the egg in
abundance.
So now our fowls, instead of being
overfat in winter, are giving us eggs
Instead Of being a sorry looking, de-
jected, Improbable lot during the mott
ing period. they are wide awake and
strong. and many of them go so far
as to give us eggs regularly at this
time. The grain bill being largely re-
duced. the egg yield being increased
and no loss from sickness. all aid in
making our winter and spring record
very encouraging, and no one could in
duce us to neglect the feeding Of green
bone freshly cut at all seasons of the
wear.

A Farmers Find

John Stautfer has made an important
discovery of anthracite coal on HIS
farm. back of Cherry Run, w. Va,
twenty miles south of Iagerstown
With the aid of his son and one hired
man he has mined during the past
two or three months twenty tons Of
coal. and landed the same ut the top
OF Il G0-foot shaft by hand. The coal
was carefully covered, and the mining
went on In the strictest secrecy by the
light of an ordinary coal oil lamp.
Stauifer has now started from the bot
tom of the shaft to tunnel into the
mountain. The vein is very thick,
and the coal has been pronounced
equal to the Shamokin Valley pro-
duct Stauifer's tract embraces 1000
acres. but the land is poor and his
means are limited. Some time ago
options We're secured on neighboring
lands, but prospecting met with no re-
suits. Before Stauffer had investigated
the extent of the vein he is now work
ing he tried To enlist the aid of local
capitalists in the formation of COM
pany, but was not successful. After
this he started right in to work, keep
ing his movements secret and making
surprising discoveries. st. Louis Globe

The Boston Commercial Bulletin OF
August "a says:
These states comprise the region that
produces what are called territory
woods. On March l, 1898, fine territory
staple was selling in this market at 60
cents the secured pound. On August
II, 1894, just before the passage OF the
German tariff, it was selling at 40 cents.
1t is worth today SO cents.
In two years the value of the Ameri-
can flock has dropped from 1925, 909. 264
to $66, 6S5, 767, thanks TO the success OF
our free wool friends in the elections
of 1892. On account of the slaughter
of sheep, and the shortage of the clip,
growers received more for their
wool this year than last None of them
have received anything approaching
the prices paid when wool was not I'M
der the blight, as it has been since
March, 1898, of hostile control by the
national government"
In 1S93the farmers of New York state
averaged 200 sheep each. They can
easily see how they have been robbed
by glance at the following statement

can be built of light TIM
bers, say by inch studding'
balloon frame. AS the roof is narrow
the rafters can be light and need no
purlins. Board it with neat siding anu
line it or plaster inside. With we'll ar
ranged windows and air ducts you nave
light and ventilation as thoroughly I'M
der your control as in the living room
OF your house. Such building as this
can be put up for onethird the cost OF d
90 by so foot bank barn and be Infinite
ly better as a place to house COWS. Two
objections will probably be urged
against this single purpose barn-nrst'
that you will need large barn anyhow
for the storage of hay and grain, and'
secondly, that it will be inconvenient to
get the coarse provender from the stor-
age barn to the cow barn. In answer 10
the first objection l can say II ne"
buildings are to be put up, build them
long and narrow, as in the case or the
COW barn before described, for the same
saving in the cost Of the smaller sized
lumber can be made. Lumber OF what
we call yard sizes costs S12 toS1o per
thousand. Sawed sizes cost SIS TO $40,
and quite large sticks. which have 10 De
of good pine, may cost $50. Sucn
building as above indicated can be ouilt
of yard sizes and would not cost over
half as much as a square bank barn Oh
the Chester county pattern OF the same
capacity. II your old barn is good, take
our your basement stables, drop your
bays and so increase the storage ca
pacity.
AS to the second objection, every
farmer with land enough to put on Az
or so COWS to 100 acres will surely have
a silo and cut his fodder and his hay,
and with well arranged hanging tracks
can take his cut feed across his BARN.
yard into his COW barn with more salts
faction than in the old way of takir
forkfuis Of hay and sheayes OF fodder
through the dark and narrow entries.
An extension of this idea OF single
purpose barns would suggest a horse
barn also, which in many ways would
be preferable to stabling them in the
Easements of bank barns. We used TO
imagine that great straw sheds were
needed for the storage of litter, the shell
ter of the stock and the protection OF
the manure. Now We haul our manure
directly to the fields, our cows are not
let out when they require shelter, and
the straw should be cut into inch
lengths at the time Of thrashing, in
which case it can be housed in one-third
the usua! space, and actually costs less
than to store il away uncut.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.
