THE swILL BARREL
Most of It's contents Can Be Utuixed by
Poultry .Kaisers.

"os' Ats Sohtents Can Be Utilized by
Poultry .Kaisers.
Everything that usually goes to the
swlll barrel can be turned to more
profit on the farm if it is put in proper
condition for feeding the poultry. Po-
tato and turnip parings boiled are good
to put with the mixed food. All table
scraps make the very best of food;
even the meat bones can be crushed,
and will more than pay for the trouble
in the increase of eggs. The butter
milk used in a scalding state. or sour
or sweet milk the same, add increased
nonrishment to the mixtures mem
toned. The whey, when curd is made,
can also be utilized the same way.
Whole grain should be fed at even
ing. Wheat, barley. buckwheat, corn
and rye are valued as respectively
enumerated. The fowls show a prefer
ence for corn, but if fed too literally it
will soon make the hens too fat for prof
table egg layers. OF course excessive
feeding of wheat will have a like ten
dency, but in not as quick or so marked
a degree. The aim IN feeding laying
hens, to induce continued egg produce
ton, should be to furnish as great a
variety of food as possible, and when
the season will not permit the hens to
secure plenty of insect food, green-cut
raw bone should be given, as it is prop
erly recognized as the missing link in
egg production in winter. Char a cob
of corn in the oven occasionally, and
let the f1ocks have it. Crushed oyster
shells or sharp gravel should always
he accessible to the hens. Water is a
great essential. All the foods named
can be given to growing chickens, and
in addition cracked corn. Chicks will
require more liberal feeding and often
cr than fowls, as they are making flesh,
muscle, bone and feathers at the same
time, thus requiring a good supply of
varied and nourishing diet. Wheat
screenings may supply bulk, but n very
little n~ourishment. Damaged grain
of any kind should never be fed to
noultry.-Colman's Rural World.

that Indians in the North Woods Of

PATCHEN BEATS GENTRY.
Joe Again Proves Himself the Great.

Chicago, July a.-Thursday after
noon at Washington park Joe Patchen
repeated his performance at that track
last August, when he humbled the pride
of John r. Gentry. Thursdays match,
their first meeting in 1896, was a two
heat affair. and Patchen won In straight
heats decisively. Both the PAGERS were
enthusiastically received on their APP
pearance for the first heat. Gentry
looks larger than he did last year.
Patchen, although 1t was his first race
of the season, confirmed in his appear
ance Curry's declaration that the big
black was fiji to race. Joe Patchen was
at slight disadvantage in the start for
thu first heat, being a neck behind, al
though having the pole, and scarcely m
his stride. But the big fellow was on
no time in either heat when
he did not seem to have a
slight advantage on the bay.
Gentry's supporters lost heart when he
failed to improve his advantage in the
send off of the first heat. All around the
far turn Patchen led, the most of the
time by a length. There, however, An

Gentry was on even terms. The big
black drew away slightly. but nearing
the eighth pole Andrews began to drive
and in a few strides Gentry was head
and head with the big fellow, and the
crowd shouted Gentry wins!' but sud-
denly the bay horse faltered and then
went into the air. Patchen going under
the line an easy winner. The time by
quarters was :3211a, 1:03, 1:35 and 2:051a.
The conditions We're pretty favorable
for good time, the track being very fast
and the weather hot. but a brisk breeze
up the stretch a some effect.
TIE crowd anticipated that Gentry
would not break in the next heat and
watched them start easily. The black
at once set the pace, and the majority
OF Old horsemen present, observing the
appearance of cach horse in action, con-
cluded long before this heat was fin
1shed that the race was over. Patchen
travelled the entire mile with a machine
/ precision INC ease. A great part Of
the time his lead amounted almost to
two lengths. Andrews waited for the
drive as long as he dared in the stretch
and then closed a little, but by the time
he was within a length of his gliding
opponent Gentry once more faltered and
broke, and it WAS over Patchen winning
easily. Time by quarters, :S2A, 1:02A,
