THE POULTRY YARD.
The First Cost.

The beginner who buys sitting Of
eggs from good, pure bred stock at
sl.5O a sitting and starts in early in
the season is quite sure to make a
good investment Of it. Take the Brown
Leghorns, for instance. There is money
for all in this noble breed. ANY one
that gets as many as four pullets and
one cockerel from sitting of Brown
Leghorns' eggs at also has made a
good thing Of it, because the Leghorn
pullets are worth twice as much as a
common chicken as layer OF eggs for
market, whereas in the fnancier's
market such a pullet is rated all the
way from 81 to IS in value. Two
dollars is very common price and is
readily paid for such fowls.

Feeding in Summer.
LPOnltry Keeper.

Poultry are self-sustainig to a certain
extent i'll summer especially the small
! breeds, such as the LeghOrns, Games
| and Uambures, for insect food is then
plentiful, and grass is very acceptable.
This applies only to fowls that roam at
| large. The case is different with those
| in confinement, for they are helpless
and the food must be supplied as reg
ularly as is done in winter, but it must
be ola different character. What must
be avoided is the tendency TO become
very fat, which is more likely to occur
at this season than at any other time.
The grains are very fattening, but as
fowls need at least a small proportion
Of such, it must be given them. 1t is
best to feed on cooked potatoes. chopped
cabbage and grass. The grass may
be gathered and cut into small pieces
before being thrown into the yards. and
wheat, corn and oats should be given
moderately before they 90 On the roOst
at night. Then, again, the birds need
lime, salt, and fresh water. Pounded
bones answer we'll for them and the
salt should be given as seasoning for
their food Fresh water is very i'm
portant, and should never be overlooked
in caring for fowls, while clean illness
is the most essential feature in manage
ment.
The large breeds are more easily con-
fined in yards, being quiet in disposition,
and not greatly addicted to flying.
Where there is abundant range, the
smaller breeds give more satisfactory
results, and are favOrites for that
reason 1t matters not whether the
range is large or small, 4 certain pro-
portion of grain is indispensable at
night, and for fowls in confinement
meat in some form may be given with
advantage. Yards should be shaded
i'll su.nmer, and the coops well venti-
lated, especially if the flock is large.

Salt for Poultry.
American Farmer.I

1t is common error that salt is
fatal to poultry. This arose from the
ill effects Of allowing poultry to get at
salt when they had not had it as part
of their rations, and once they got &C
cess to it they ate enough to kill them.
All soft food given to poultry should
be sailed about as much as the same
amount would be for human use; and
if this is done they will never eat salt
to excess if they are allowed to run
where they can get at it. Salt is one
OF the necessary elements Of the blood I,
and if it is not furnished in some shape
the health Of the fowls will be impaired
and their productiveness lowered.

The Spokane Society Man.
New York WOrld.I


1t is often truly said that the for.
elgner cannot get an adequate con-
ception of this country until he has
visited the West. Certainly society in
Spokane is different from anything we
know in the East. At least the society
young man of Spokane is a different
being from his Eastern congener. A
press telegram from California says
that a bandit recently captured in
that State has been identified as one
of the leaders Of society in Spokane.
He belongs to one of the first FAM
lilies, is church member, a crack
blcyclist, and all-around swell. Such
a revelation would, of course, be i'm
possible in New York. 1t is quite as
much as our languid swells can do to
exist without making any additional
eNertlon. None of them are likely to
go into the bandit business. But il
this is the kind of dude the ordinary
society man is in Spokane, what man
ner of people are their "bad men?'

The Sound Money Swindle.
lBellefontaine CO., Examiner. |

lBellefontaine CO., Examiner.J
Under single gold standard polio,
the money of the people would neces.
sarily be credit, or borrowed money
and every dollar would carry with il
banks per cent. This per cent
would be added to everything either
produced by this money or received
in exchange for it. 1t will thus be
seen that currency system would be
imposed upon the people that would
inevitably rob them of their earnings,
which, indeed, is the extent and the
secret of it.
Under this single standard system,
it will be observed, that the money
vouchsafed the people maintained at
par with gold according to promise, J
would come to them dearer than gold
by the banks per cent, and then de-
cline IN their hands TO par with gold
again, while the banks per cent.
would remain upon their purchases
and be added to the profits levied
upon them as consumers.
This is putting the matter in the
most favorable light, for, with barely
gold enough in the country to main
tam the greenbacks now in circulation
at par, and with a vast debt in Gov
eminent bonds hanging over US, pay
able, principal and interest in gold,
and held abroad-to say nothing OF
the enormous dues to foreign holders
OF the various other forms of Ameri.
can securlties-who shall say, under
these circumstances, what will be the
fate of the "proposed sound money"
OF the future after it has passed into
the hands of the people2
The free coinage of silver as primary
or ultimate redemption money, and
free from bank tax, is the paramount
need, as it is also the pressing demand
OF the American people to-day.
We have referred in this article to
but Ole feature, and a minor one at
that, OF the "sound money" scheme
to rob the people of their earnings.

An Interesting Case.
Atlanta Constitution |

lhtiaHlt CONSTITUTION.
The hanging Of Daniel Werling, the
vile murderer, in Pennsylvania, after
he had valnly attempted to secure a
communication of his sentence on the
ground that the Keely treatment had
made him insane, ends a case which
has attracted wide attention.
Werlng's lawyers claimed that he
had been made insane by the alleged
use OF hyoscyamus while taking the
keely cure for drunkenness. 1t was
proved that he had been rescued fror,
the worst stage of alcoholism and had
then relapsed.
The board of pardons held that
when man is thus cured of the LIQUOR
habit. and voluntarily goes to drinking
again and becomes lunatic or muir
derer, It is the liquor and not the
heely treatment which is responsible.
The man who commits crime must
be held to answer for it and not the
medicine which made him a sober
man for time
Werllng murdered a faithful wife
whose industry had supported him,
and, whether lunatic or not, the
general opinion was that such a dan
gerous brute had no right to live. The
fellow had every reason to believe
that liquor would make him lunatic
or criminal and vet he drank II
The decision of the board of par
docs in this case simply means that
when man voluntarily adopts a
habit which he knows will probably
make him a lunatic he is entitled TO
no clemency on that account. He
must pay the penalty of his crime
Just as though he were of sound mind
when he committed the deed.

Milk in Summer.

Milk for very young chicks should
be fresh and sweet, as sour milk may
cause bowel disease; but for adults and
larger chicks milk may be given sweet
or clabbered. Buttermilk is also ex-
cellent. Give milk in clean vessels,
placing it where all can help them
selves, but do not allow that which is
unused to remain in the vessels. In
other words, milk should remain in
the vessels but a few hours instead of
remaining until the whole is used.

Cheapness of Bone Meal.

A pound of coarsely ground bone
can be procured for three cents. A
cigar box of the bone meal, OR groune
bone, placed where the hens can help
themselves, will aid in supplying them
with lime for the shells, and also serve
as grit. The hens will eat no more OF
it than they desire. The low cost,
the ease with which it can be given,
and its keeping qualities flor it may
be used fresh or dry should recon-
mend it to all.

Breeds.Of Ducks.

The pure breeds of ducks are more
easily kept than the common puddle
ducks, as they can be made to thrive
without providing ponds. The breeds
best known, and which are the most
popular, are the Pekin, Aylesbury,
Rouen and Cayuga, the first two breeds
being white in color and the Cayuga
black, the Rouen having plumage of
several colors. These breeds grow to
a large size, and individual specimens
have reached ten pounds in weight.
AS they grow rapidly they reach the
market at an early age.

There is a right and wrong way to
raise pullcts for the next year. They
should be separated from the flock,
and especially from the young cockerels,
in order to feed them so as to push them
in growth. 1t is not necessary to feed
them heavily, as overlooking them is
of no advantage; and if they have the
run OF the field, one meal at hight will
be sufficient. The meal may consist
of ground bone and meat, mixed with
ground oats. one pound Of the bone and
meat to two pounds of ground oats,
moistened, ID. of the mixture being
sufiicicntfor twenty pullets if the forage
is good. If the poultry houses are
crowded, the cockerels should be dis
posed of at once. During very warm
nights the pullets will suffer from heat
unless they have ample room on the
roost, and if attacked by lice they will
cease to grow. The object should be
to have them as large as possible before
the winter comes on, and they will
then begin to lay early and produce
cggs during the cold season.
