sires to make his chickens source Of
profit. And it is the average farm which
supplies mankind with most of it's eggs,
What the farmer needs is breed of
hens which will attend to business
without much overseeing.
Concerning this matter George O.
Brown writes senslbly to the California
Cultivator. He says that ''there is no
denying that the continual tinkering Of
the standard and the insstence on I'm.
necessary fancy points at the expense of
utility have been the direct means not
alone of lowering the egg record of
many of our pure breeds, but has also
greatly lessened their vigor." We be-
lieve it. We have not had much ex-
perience, but we have had some; and
whenever we have purchased particu-
larly beautiful chicken we have invari-
ably found that it had 40 vigor and no
sense. We do not mean to apologize for
our lack of experience. We learn easy,
and once OF twice taught US.
We cast no reflections on the fancler's
trade. 1t is an honorable one, minister
ing to the wants of that no small por-
ton of humanity which seems to find it's
chiefest delight in cleaning up after
chickens, making sure that their feath
ers lie straight and that they don't take
cold. But what we want, and what we
think the average farmer wants, is a
breed Of wide-awake, thorough going,
rustling birds that need no coddling,
will tear up our gardens if we do not
fence them out well, and who, having
fulfilled the years Of their lives with
duty and with usefulness, make a glori-
Gus ending in the fragrant pot.-Ex.

Water for Fowls.

In this warm climate, and especially
in the summer time, there should al
ways be plenty Of fresh water handy
for the fowls. Like the human family,
the fowls require more water during
warm weather than cold, and it is essen
tial for their we'll being that it is as fresh
and cool as it is possible to have it. The
egg contains a large amount of water,
consequently if there is any lack of
water there must also be lack Of eggs.
The best way Of watering, if it can be
arranged, is to have hydrants in the
yard, and under each hydrant an earth
enware dish. Let the water run just
enough to keep the dish full Twice or
three times week these dishes should
be washed out thoroughly. Where the
water has to be carried to the yards the
drinking dishes should be earthenware,
and so arranged that the fowls can
not get into them with their feet. There
are number Of patent chicken water
Ing trOugnS WnlCn nave CHelr meElCS,
but the worst objection is the inability
to wash them out thoroughly, and con-
sequently they soon get foul and may
become source of danger to the poul-
try. Every one knows that even water
pitcher, if not washed regularly, will
soon get in bad shape, and will contami-
nate water that is allowed to stand in 1t
any length of time. Avoid using wood
for drinking dishes if possible, but what
ever you use have it washed out thor
oughly and often.-Fruit Grower.

Bantams and Small Boys.

A writer in the Country Gentleman
we'll says: ''Let boys have bantams if
there be any inclination to undertake
their care and m management.
"Bantams will do more toward keep
ing the boys on the farm than a dozen
agricultural fair speeches. There is
profit enough in keeping bantams to in
spire industry and zeal, and nothing
leads quicker to independence and
m snly ways than the sense of propri-

the most wide-awake and vociferous OF
birds, apparently never sleeping, and
uttering it's loud call when any person

when visiting the northern frontier of
China, found the mandarin in charge of

Millet Seed and Egg Production.

If gill of millet seed and quart Of
corn could be compared In some manner
it would be found that more eggs would
result from feeding the millet seed than
from the corn, not that there is more
nutrition in the seed. but because the
hens would quickly pick up the corn, but
would be compelled to work for each Of
the tiny seeds procured. One table
piece of ground, or in loose litter, will
induce the hens to seek for food, and the
exercise of so doing will promote their
health, give them good appetites, and
increase the egg production of every hen
in the flock.

Practical Poultry.

By practical poultry We mean fowls
with which the farmer with good care,
can make money. The fancier raises
birds to sell to the large number who de-

whose beauty is JOY to them and
which will also, under favorable cIrcum
stances, be good table fowls or egg pro-
ducers or both. The poultryman takes,
or should take, his special poultry J our-

does not take a special journal OF that

Autumn Feeding.

With the coming of September and
the noting season, the time of the year
when the hens are losing their feathers
and run down in weight and general con-
dition, from the heat of the past sum-
mer and the drain that has been upon
them from laying and setting, they need
special attention and plenty of feed. We
know that as a rule when they quit lay
ing and begin to shed their feathers,
they are more neglected than any other
season of the year. There is no profit in
them and very little beauty. 1t is their
off season, period of sixty to ninety
days when they have to be boarded for
nothing. But if we will take hold OF
them in kindly way at this season, ana
feed them often and plentifully, giving
them plenty Of corn, particularly at
night, and cooked feed in the morning
with large per cent of meat and vege-
tables in it, it will cause them to mott
faster, fatten them up and get them in
condition to withstand the cold weather
that follows the shedding season.
A thin, poorly fed hen, one that comes
through her molt with only enough
strength and vitality left to keep them
alive, will not lay in the winter time.
It takes a hen that has plenty of flesh on
her, one that is plump and solid, with
lots of life and activity, to sing and
cackle and lay when the temperature is
low and there is frost and Ice about.
There is no danger of getting hen
too fat to lay in the winter season, and
there need be no fear of overlooking a
shedding hen. She needs plenty of rich
food then, for she has to provide mate
rial for making feathers as we'll as flesh
and blood.
The same system of liberal feeding in
the autumn should be applied to pullets'
They should be fed plentifully at this
season so as to force them in growth and
weight and get them up to the laying
size by Christmas. The earliest or young
est layers are the pullets that have been
fed high, forced as it were, from the very
first. Slack work in raising chickens or
in careing for them in the autumn, will
manifest itself in bad results just the
same as it does in anything else H. B..

The Field Columbian mus
cum will have a place in the
new Lake Front park. The an
noauuement was made Satur-
day that Marshall Field will
give the city or the South park
board 100000 with which to
erect a building of sufficient
proportions to accommodate
the museum now in Jackson
park. There will also be a
space allotted for a magnificent
parade ground and armory for
the First, Second and Seventh
regiments, or the First brigade
of the Illinois national guard.
The money for this purpose
and the cost of maintaining it
is to be raised by the troops,
and no expense will fall on the
city in this connection.
1t was formerly decided to
give the museum a site in the
center of the new park, at a
point about where Congress
street, extended, would strike.
For this purpose twenty-five
acres of ground will be requir-
ed. At the south end of the
new ground, or east of the Hi
nois Central tracks, the milit
airy parade ground and ar
mories for the national guard
will be placed. The exact
amount of space for this pur
pose has not been fully deter
mined, but will be- settled be-
fore the ordinance is passed.
Brigadier General Wheeler has
the matter in charge. and is to
consult with other officers Of
the militia to-day.
The question Of maintaining
the property after it is turned
over to the park board was also
discussed, and it was agreed
that the military organizations
will have to stand the expense
of keeping the parade ground
In proper condition, and the
directors of the Field Column
biau museum will look after
that covered by the museum.
As most of the ground will be
covered by the building Of the
institution, this will not be q
great expense.
