Hon. George C. SturgIss, OF Nor
glntOwn, and Hon. II. $. white, OF Min
80 county. formerly OF Marshall county,
were at the Stamm Saturday evening
awaiting the Baltimore &c Ohio east.
They are busy and actlye men thcse
times In tho way OF promoting and de-
veloplng the OF West Vlr-
gInla, the one on the Pennsylvania bor-
der and the other on the Kentucky bor-
der. Doth look forward TO the coming
year us the beginning OF IL pronounced
and prolonged period OF industrial &c
tlvlty and prosperity In the state.
Everything seems 10 be shaping Itself
In that direction.
The vote OF the state for sound money
will be worth n great deal 10 It among
Investors. European as well us Ameri-
can capital Ia now looking for invest
ments In West Virginia. Some heavy
purchases OF coal lands In such counties
as Preston and Fayette have lately
been made. Among the Investors IS
Abram s. Hewitt, OF New York, SON.
in-law OF the late Peter Cooper. who.
with others has bought largely in Fay
cite, where they villa build several
miles of railroad. Their example will
be rapidly followed by other capitalists
at home and abroad. Thus Is honesty
In our politics to receive It's own reward
TO begin with.
Mr.. White'Elves n graphic account OF
the shooting that occurred at his town.
Matewan. on election day, whereby he
was accidentally wounded. and where
by two others were purPosely wounded
and three killed. 1t was the old story OF
a Hatfield 'unplcasantnesS." There
was no quarrel In the business. said Mr..
White. People don't quarrel out there.
They simply eye each other when they
get ready and shoot. No words and not
n great deal Of ammunition are wasted In
these matters. He received. as his
contribution from the fracaS, three bird
shot, two OF which he stlll carries In his
peraon. However. nobody down there
minds n little thing like that. and he
cOngratulates himself. considering his
proximity 10 the scene OF combat, that
he got or as well az he did.

TURKEYS on the Farm.

Turkeys are subject to roup, and
they also become lame from no ap-
parent cause. Reflection will make
plain the fact that turkeys have a
severe trial in winter. Because they
naturally roost high, seeking the
limbs of trees, it is supposed that
such lOca tions are the most suitable,
but the turkey would take better care
of itself if it knew how. It does not
understand that it has any interest
in buildings or shelter, and must be
taught how to seek warmer roosting
places than the tree limbs. To alight
from high limbs the turkey is COM
PEELED to strike the ground with d
heavy weight OH it's legs, ans as this
is repeated daily the birds soon be-
come lame. The cold winds often
cause frosted feet, and the birds be-
come also blind and have swollen
eyes The indication of blindness and
swollen eyes is that of roup, due TO
exposure to cold winds. By combining
the turkeys in a building having high
roosts, and feeding them early in the
morning and late at night in the
building, for a week, they will forget
the tree tops and roost under shelter
When roup gets into flock of tur
keys they might as we'll be destroyed
1T once, as they seldom recover.-Mir-
rOr and Farmer

Ducks Will Soon Lay.

Some of the ducks in the flock will
begin to lay next month, and the
whole flock should be we'll under way
before February passes away. The
begin now. First, find out if they are
fat, and if so give them a good mess
of cut clover hay, scalded, in the
morning, and a mess of cooked tur-
nips or potatoes at night Do not
give them full meals, but aim to re-
duce them in flesh. If they continue
fat then allow them only one meal )
day, or give only half meal twice a
day. This may be continued for two
weeks, when they should have two
meals day, as much as they will eat,
consisting of mixture of finely chop
ped clover hay, potatoes or turnips
(cooked) and bran and cornmeal, riss
ing one part, by weight, of the hay,
one or bran, one of cornmeal and four
of cooked potatoes of turnips. At
night give the same, but add one part
of ground meal. How much of this
to give cannot be stated, as ducks are
voracious, some days eating more
than at other times, but fill the
troughs and let them eat as much as
they wish, as duck lays large eggs
and lays one nearly every day, thus
requiring an abundance of food
Mirror and Farmer.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-12-23
Weak Leg and Ducks.

Ducks must be handled very care
fully at this season to get eggs. Avoid
too much corn-meal, or they will have
weak legs. Cut clover very fine and
sprinkle bran over it for mornings
meal, and give as much as they will
eat. They viii need nothing at noon.
At night give them cooked potatoes
or turnips, adding pound of ground
meat to every half peck of cooked
food, with quart Of ground oats
mixed in. Ducks are not partial ID
whole grains. A box of ground char
coal and one of ground oyster shells
should be convenient. Always have
a trough of clean water near them
when feeding them. Keep the floor
of the duck-house well Uttered with
cut straw, and do not allow it to be-
come filthy. The yards must also be
kept clean if they are confined. Al
ter the flock is laying, a noon meai
may be given, to consist of the same
food as the evening meal. Weak legs
are nearly always due to overlooking,
and especially when only grain is
used.-Farm and Fireside.

hen raises six chicks they should

according to quality and circum-
stances, but allowing only 20 cents u
pound Ga very low price for god broil-
ers in winter) each chick will bring
30 cents, or % cents above the cost of
the food, making $1.32 profit for a
brood of six, without deducting the
cost of the eggs used for Matching.
More frequently good chicks bring 80
cents each. The hen will consequent
ly pay as well as a sitter as she would
as layer, but the fact must be kept
in view that it is the work, the care
warmth and attention to their COM
fort that will enable one to make the
profit from chicks.-Ex.

Keeping Eggs for Matching.

AS many of our readers may desire
to save eggs from certain hens for
Matching, SO as to use the best in the
flock, it may be done in this manner:
Wrap each egg in tissue-paper and
lay it in cotton, in a box. Three times
a week turn the eggs over, or rather,
half over. They must not be in
warm place, but kept at a tenn
perature not lower than forty de-
grees or over sixty degrees. Do not
use extra large eggs, or those very
small or misshapen; and it may be
mentioned that eggs laid by hens will
produce stronger chicks than those
from pullets. Eggs kept in the man.
ner mentioned should hatch, even
when they have been laid three
months, as it is known by experience
that such has been the case-Ex.

Millet-seed for Poultry.

Millet-seed should be a regular die
for ilaying hens, and it should be kept
on hand and in a convenient place for
use. When you go into the yards and
the hens run to you for food, which
they will do if fed frequently, even
when they are not hungry, scatter
millet-seed for them and let them
seek the seeds. Mustard-seed, hemp
seed, or any small seed will answer.
A tablespoonful of seed is sufficient,
as it is not intended so much as a
portion of the ration as to keep the
hens busy.

Should the Hens Sit?

During this cold weather the ques-
ton is whether to prevent hens from
sitting or allow them to hatch a
brood. The decision depends entirely
on how one is fixed for raising the
chicks. If there is a warm room,
with sunlight, and the chicks are
looked after three or four times a
day, it will pay we'll to allow the hens
to sit and hatch out broods. Winter
chicks pay as we'll as winter eggs,
To demonstrate this fact it may be
stated that to raise a chick to the
weight of one and a half pounds will
cost only eight cents for the food, Ii
