HOW WHALES LOVE.
The Mother Whale IL Faithful to Her OF
spring Even In Death

spring Even In Death.
CAPTAIN Scorcsby relates how one of his
harpooners, having struck a young whale
in ordor TO secure the mother saw her in
stantly arise, wrap her clippers round her
young one and descend, dragging about
COO feet OF line out Of the boat with mar
Vicious force and velocity A gain she rose
TO the surface, darted furiously To and fro,
frequently stopped short or suddenly
changed her direction, giving every posi-
BILE information Of agony.
The boats continued To pursue her close
ly for a iongth of time while she, poor
creature, seemed utterly regardless or the
dangers which surrounded her. AT last ono
Of the boats approached 40 near that a
harpoon was thrown ut her, thon second
harpoon and third. Still she did not at
tempt Co escape, but allowed the other
boats 20 approach, so that more harpoons
were attached, till in the course of al
hour the poor animal was killed.
The fidelity of the male and female
whale TO each other exceeds that Of most
animals. Anderson, in his History OF
Greenland, mentions that, some fisher
men having struck one of two whales, a
male and female that were in company
together, the wounded creature made a
long and terrible resistance.
With single blow OF its tail IL upset a
boat containing three men, by which they
all went Co the bottom. When another
boat came up, the other whale still re
manned by it's companion and lent every
assistance till at last the wounded victim,
sank under the number and severity of its
wounds, while its faithful partner, unable
to survive its loss, stretched herself upon
the dead body of her mate and calmly
shared it's fate.-New York Dispatch

The POULTRY BUSINESS.
Uncle Isaac Felch Gives Facts and Figures
Concerning a G1gantic Industry.

Uncle Isaac Fe1ch Gives Facts and Figures
Concerning q Gigantic Industry.
Here are the views of Mr.. Isaac Felch,
the best posted poultry man in this or
any other country:
Six hundred million dollars is low
estimate of the annual poultry business
Of the United States. You can figure it
for yourself. I demonstrated not long
ago that the average price of eggs i'll my
Massachusetts, home for the past eight
years has been 80 Il cents per dozen. But
we'll put it lower than that. Wo'll say
25 cents. It is conservative estimate to
say that the average family consumes
two dozen eggs week. say 100 dozen
year. This means $25. 1t is putting it
low to say that the average family con-
sumes $40 worth of poultry each year.
This gives $40 year for each family,
or for $4,000, 900 families 1915. 600, 900.
"But this is not all. The encyclopedia
says that in 1869 the hotels and restau-
rants consumed 500, 900, 900 worth of
poultry and eggs. Owing to the increase
Of population it cannot be less than
800, 600, 900 year now. There are used
in the manufacture Of fine leather not
less than 500, 900, 900 worth of eggs,
and there are also used vast quantities
Of eggs in other manufactures, such as
the making of ether, etc. Taking the
United States and Canada together,
have not the least doubt that the poul-
try and egg industry amounts every year
to $3.50, 600, 900.
"The reason that this is not more
generally understood is because SO little
of this comes into the commerce Of the
country. The producers consume their
products at home. City people often for
get to what an extent eggs and poultry
enter into the food supply Of. the people
on the farm.
sin 1869 I went before the state board
of agriculture of Massachusetts and es-
timated the industry at $500, 000, 900.
They thought my figures were exagger-
ated, and week later one Of the men,
bers called on me and said that he owed
me an apology. He said that when I gave
my statement he had set me down as
the monumental liar of this country, but
after investigation he had become con-
vinced that I was quite within the
bounds Of fact.
"No farmer should have less than 100 |
chickens. Give them shelter and place |
to rest and they will take care Of them |
selves. A bushel Of wheat will keep
hen year, and with ordinary care she |
will produce ten dozen eggs year and

Brahma hens in aocks Of rs have aver

reared brood"
Middletown transcript., 1896-04-25
Rearing Chickens.

A thousand chickens may be reared as
easily as ten hens may be kept. There
is no use for the hens except to hatch
the chicks. After this the stupid birds
may be discharged and sent to laying
eggs again. A very simple brooder is all
that Is needed to rear all the chickens
desired. Warmth is all that is required
after the food. The warmth may be sup
piled by small stove with air pipes
leading from room where the stove is
kept, and in which sufficient air may be
drawn in by vehtilators. The air comes
in at the bottom and flows out at the
top 1t is desirable to have this heater
in a cellar for convenience in every way.
The food for young chicks may be crack
ed wheat, coarse oatmeal, finely chopped
lean meat and mashed boiled potatoes,
This will do until the chicks are half
grown, when they should have an out
door range, with grass or some sown
crop for them to feed ON. With good
feeding at months old the chicks will
be fit for market as broilers After three
months they will be fit for roasters if Of

"We have so far watched these pheas-
ants very carefully, and the statement
Of Judge Denny Of Oregon that they are
Of advantage to farmer and horticul-
turist in destroying injurious insects
without hurt to the crops appears to be
fully sustained. They are certainly most
persistent in their search for all kinds Of
insects and their larvae. They scratch
but little, using their bills, which are
we'll adapted to the purpose, to turn over
the ground in search of food that does
not come to the surface. OF the different
kinds Of caterpillar which have been
abundant on the grounds it is evident
that few If any have been allowed to
live long enough to change to a chrysalis
or cocoon. On this ground, which is
partly covered with forest trees, the
gypsy moth is found, and about 400 of
the trees have been burlapped.
Many OF these trees are inside the
inclosure where the young birds were
bred. The burlaps were turned once or
twice week, bnt--po Larvae or cocoons

proved to be the larvae Of the gypsy
moth. The large, dusky, mottled worms,
from 1 to Q inches long, which infest
walnut trees were eaten with great
avidity. The only thing we have known
the chicks to refuse was the larvae of
the potato bug. The full grown birds
were not so fastidious, and if hungry
would eat them.
This speaks well for the birds, and the

Corn, Green Food and Activity VIII Pro-
duce Them.
It is a well known fact in the feeding
OF dairy stock that foods poor in fats or
oils cause COWS to give milk the cream
of which is especially light in color, and
will produce very light colored or white
butter. 1t is also matter of common
knowledge among dairymen that the
high colored foods will increase the col
or Of butter, as when carrots or cotton
seed meal are fed. The fattening of cat
tie with cottonseed meal also is known
to give carcass the fat of which is es-
pecially yellow in color.
The same principle would probably
hold true with regard to the feeding of
fowls. Too much bran, oats, and espe-
cially buckwheat, would have tendency
to produce eggs with very light colored
yolks. Confinement without much va
riety Of food is also known to cause hens
to lay eggs with very light yolks, and
when such fowls are given their free
dom, plenty of green food and variety
Of grain food, the color of the yolks will
change in few days so as to be quite
noticeable. Some varieties of fowls nat
urally lay eggs with lighter colored
yolks than others. Dark colored eggs
are esteemed for their richer quality
than white shelled eggs, and frequently
bring a higher price in the market, so
that all the difference in the color of
The yolk may not be due to the single
item Of food or confinement. Feeders
are agreed that Leghorns and other
Mediterranean breeds will bear feeding
with much more corn than the Asiatic
md American breeds, and richer diet,
consisting of considerable corn with
olenty Of green food and range, would,
10 doubt, give eggs from the Mediter-
anean breeds richer yolks than if con-
lned and fed diet lacking in corn and
'reen food. Ample variety in the food
md plenty of range would probably |
rove an antidote for white yolks.-

A Hint to Bean Growers,

A Virginia correspondent drops this
hint in tho columns of The American
Agriculturist:
Plow deeply, make the soil rich and
plant as early as possible to snap beams,
in rows two feet apart. At the second
hoeing plant lima beans between the
rows, so as to make the hills four feet
apart each way. By the time the snap
beans have yielded two pickines the
limas will want all the ground Then
pull the snap beans and use them. with
