AMONG THE POULTRY.
Do not overcrowd the poultry house.
Keep pure, fresh water within the
reach OF fowls.
Young ducks are most easily raised
In small yards.
Ducks grow very rapidly in proper.
tion to the food consumed.
Nothing tends to engender disease in
chickens more than filth in the coops.
A duck fattens easily. This should
be guarded against when they are lay
ing.
A close, ill-ventilatsd house is foul
house.
There is no good reasons for keeping
and feeding old male birds after the
Matching season is over.
Set the hens in a cool place and on
the ground, as the weather begins to
get hot.
Too much linseed meal will make the
hens too fat, but small quantity is
heathfnl.

fore being fed, as the fowls will relish
it much better.
Keep the young turkeys up until the
dew has dried off the grass. and keep
them dry In wet weather.
AS rule the turkey hens prefer to
steal their nests out, and IL the eggs
are secured it is necessary to watch
them.
When it is desired to push the
growth, rather better results can be
secured by feeding cooked food.
More meat and better meat In a
shorter space OF time can be produced
from poultry than in any other way.
A small flock, with plenty of roem,
thrive and the hens will lay better than
a larger. crowded flock.
When the wings are cut the feathers
do not renew until the birds molts, but
where the feathers are pulled new
feathers will appear in short time.
Young Gnineas do not thrive well If
hatched too early. Taking one year
with another, June is plenty early to
have them hatch.
Black feathered fowls have a white
skin. White-skinned fowls usually sell
at less price than yellow skinned
fowls.
Carbolic acid is poison, and too
much should not be used. Ten or
twelve drops in quart of,water is
enough. For cholera double. this
quantity.
A filthy drinking fountain will breed

at night this is all that will be needed.
After the turkeys are ten days old
they may be turned out every morning
after the dew is of and allowed to stay

Young ducks drink water every day
when eating. They shonld be supplied
with all that they can drink in a com
venient place while they are eating.

LETTER FROM VIEWER,

LEAvENwoRTH, March 23.-An Asso-
ciated Press dispatch recently appeared
in which General M. T. McMahon, sec
rotary of the board of managers of the
the national home for disabled volunteer
soldiers, is quoted as saying:
, "Brand as absolutely false the state
mens that the old soldiers are compelled
to take the gold cure. The board made
a thorouh investigation of that charge at
the Leavenworth homo year ago and
discharged Surgeon Viewer, who had
caused the investigation to be made"
Dr. j. l. Viewer sends q letter to the
Times of this city in which he says.
General McMahon's statement that
the members of the home have not
been compelled to take the treatment is
equally false. If congress will send a
committee here to investiga ate the doings
and management of this branch, with
power to send for men and papers. con-
dition of affairs will be opened that will
astonish the country, if conducted for
the purpose of getting at the fact in the
case, and the members of the home are
assured of protection by the strong arm
be prosecuted and eventually dis
charged from the home for tell
ing the truth. Scores of men will testi-
fly that they have been compelled to
take the gold cure some of them, two,
three and even four times and to pay out
of their pension money the full price
each time, or from labor done and per-
formed on the Home grounds. The old
men want no more sO-called investiga-
tions by General Averell or the board of
managers,

pears in the Times of a suit already
commenced in the courts, in the sum of
$4,000, wherein it is charged that Gov.
a. j. Smith did compel the plaintiff to
take the cure, and it is currently be-
lieved here that scores of similar affida-
Wits could be furnished if the poor men
dared to jeopardize their right to remain
in the HONS BY telling the truth

CORN KINGS BANQUET.

Mr.. Dewey Buys 100000 Bushels of Corn
and Treats 1000 Farmers to Oysters.
MANHATTAN, March CSC. P. Dewey
is the idol of the Riley county farmer.
He owns a large ranch near Manhattan
and Saturday evening found his cribs, of
100000 bushels corn capacity, filled. OF
this amount nearly $4,000 bushels have
been bought during the past two weeks
at 20 cents.
As a finale Dir. Dewey rendered the
farmers nd citizens an old-fashioned
oyster dinner, which he termed a corn
banquet. He secured the opera house
for the event, and about one thousand
guests enjoyed his hospitality.
1t seemed as though nearly every
farmer in the county had brought in
load of corn and remained to dinner.
The banquet began at noon and lasted
until all corners had been served, which
was about 6 o'clock in the evening.
During the afternoon a surprise was
arranged by the business men and the
farmers as q token of their appreciation
of Mr.. Dewey's efforts. Handsome gold
headed canes were presented to both Mr..
Dewey and his Manhattan representative,
