VENETIAN mAsTs.
How to Make the Telegraph Poles
Look Pretty.

4OOA Eo5LHs
In the accounts of the queens jubilee
festivities in London frequent mention
is made of Venetian masts" as decor
ative features of the streets. This
suggests what may be done with the
telegraph poles along Kansas avenue.
A Venetian mast" is a. tall pole about
which at intervals of four or five feet
are suspended hoops fastened to the
pole by means of three or four stout
cords These hoops are wrapped
tightly with colOred cheese cloth or
bunting. Then a number of vari-col-
ored streamers are fastened to each
hoop in punches. A pole so feet high
ought to have eight or ten of these
hoops. When the wind blows all these
hoops and streamers move and futter
in the breeze, making a sight that can
scarcely be exceeded for beauty, and when
q whole street is lined with these Vene-
tian Enasts the effect is impressive to
high degree. This decoration is not
expensive either The general effect
could be greatly heightened by wrap
ping the hoops with strands of paper
roses and mailing a long V-shaped ban
ner to the top of each telegraph pole.

Most important of all should be the
float which carries LORNA, Queen of the

not be at all expensive, LOrina's float
should be most elaborate. It might
represent an enormous eagle, with Lo-

Begin With Thoroughbreds.

Chickens bred for laying eggs lay
more eggs and larger eggs than the
fowls allowed to run at large, pick up
their feed where they can find it and
roost about like tramp. 1t costs no
more money to keep thoroughbred
chicken than it does to keep a COM
mon one, but the point is to house
them carefully and their stock will
bring the results desired. There is
but one item which in the eyes of
some is great expense, and that is
the original cost of set of thorough
bred birds. The financial results
from such an investment, however,
are manifold and at the same time
steady and can be depended upon,
while with the common birds it is all
chance as to whether results are OBJ
tanned. One male and five female
thoroughbreds can be purchased for
$25. In year, by using a good set
ting hen of any breed, the hennery
will be increased by more than 100

off for the table-and they will all be
money makers in another year.

When to Hatch the Males.
Broome Co., N. Y.

1t may not meet with the approval
of some if we urge that all males in
tended for breeding purposes be
Matched in August. This may seem
strange to those who hatch the males
early, but there are some good rea-
sons for Matching in August. First,
the late Matched male does not grow
as large as the earlier one, hence will
not be as clumsy but will prove more
active, while chicks sired by him will
be just as large as though he were
Matched in March. The next reason
is that he must undergo the test Of
endurance through winter and if he
is the Survival of the fittest" from
among others so much the better. The
third reason is that he will be nine
teen months old the spring he is in
tended for use, and will then be fully
matured and we'll seasoned. 1t will
cost no more to keep him nineteen
months in proportion to his value for
breeding purposes, than to hatch one
in March and use him the next March.
The March Matched bird will be too
young to mate with pullets, while the
bird Matched in August and kept I'M
til the March he is nine months

Eggs Favored to Order.

Thomas Hendricks, a farmer in the
town of Lisle, N. Y, thinks he has
made a discovery regarding poultry
and egg producing which will prove
valuable Recently Mr.. Hendricks sold
a quantity of eggs to family in Bing-
hamton, who complained that they
were almost worthless owing to a
strong taste of kerosene. He could
not account for this; but when bak-
cry that he had been supplying refus-
ed to receive any more of his goods
for the same reason he began an inves-
tigation.
He found that the chickens had eat
en- quantity of corn left lying in the
vicinity of two kerosene barrels. This
gave him an idea, and he began to
experiment. tie confined three hens
in coop and fed them on corn that
had been soaked over night in water
strongly tinctured with extract of
vanilla. The result was that the eggs
could not be eaten, but when used in
cooking impaired a delicate flavor to
the cake or pastry without the use of
other favoring He took some of these
eggs to the bakery, where they were
tested and pronounced superior to
anything in the fiavoring ine.-New

Pullets VS.. Hens.

1t has become quite prominent
claim that pullets are more profitable
than hens, and the frequent advice Of
hatch your pullets early" so as to
get them ready to replace the hens for
winter laying, is being advocated very
widely. Let us look over the field and
discuss the matter, although we have
before brought it to the attention Of
the readers of this journal. First, get
your pullets; that is, to the laying
age. If one has a hen she is ready for
business, but to begin in early spring,
say March, and hatch out lot of pull
let's for the next winter means that
the pullets must be fed and raised.
They will entail an expense for seven
or eight months before they are ma
tured and come into laying. 1t is
therefore plain that if a hen can be
kept in service for three or more
years she will only have to be raised
once, and therefore loses no time af-
ter the first year. However, leaving
that view of the matter for future
consideration it may we'll be affirmed
and replacing them with pullets is
doing much harm to all focks which
are composed mostly of pullets, as
the use of pullets for breeding pur-
poses is to use immature mothers. 1t
is well known that vigorous chicks
are secured from hens that are two
years old and over more generally
than from pullets, especially when
the hens are mated with cockerels not
eggs are used from pullets year after
year it can only result in deteriora-
ton of the flock, not because OF lack
of new blood but of vigor in the par
ent stock. This we have demonstrate
ed by using eggs from old hens and
pullets in an incubator. The eggs
from pullets produced as many chicks
as the eggs from hens, but in the
brooder the loss from the lot of chicks
Matched from eggs laid by pullets was
three times as large as in the next lot,
which was composed of chicks from
eggs laid by hens. All the chicks had
the same sire, were fed alike and
cared for alike in every respect, but
the chicks from the matured hens
were not only stronger and more Wig
orous but grew faster and gave more
satisfactory results in every way

The Hen as an Adjunct.

AAC A4Cu dS oil 6AOJ
Passing through the country the OBJ
serving traveller is impressed with the
low estimate placed upon the hen.
Many only have very few, and these
are left to shift for themselves, roost-
ing in trees and out of the way places,
and yielding returns just about equiv
alent to the care given them.
AS an adjunct to dairying, the hen,
properly treated, cannot be over-esti-
mated. The reasons for this STATE
ment will readily present themselves
to the thoughtful man. In the first
place, the hen will find way OF util-
izing many Of the by-products Of
dairying. Skim milk these fowls will
devour by the gallon. So with butter
milk Without question milk fed 10
hens will yield a reader and more
profitable return than in any other
way.
Then, too butter and eggs go well
together when it comes to marketing
How many times when selling butter
is the call made for eggs! A few
chicks taken along in the fall Of the
year find ready sale and add to the
family exchequer. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy very much of the feed
consumed by poultry. We may raise
all the corn, oats and buckwheat we
need for this purpose.
Warm quarters in houses construct
ed especially for them, as careful at
tention as we bestow upon other do
nestle animals, and little skill in
disposing of the egg product will soon
convince the most incredulous that
hens and dairying go well together.
The garden and other fields near by
closely fenced from the hen. Valua-
BILE time and LOSS of patience will
thus be saved. A hen out of place, as
we'll as anything else, is pest. [ be-
heve that one great source of the pref
udice our dairymen have against the
hen arises from the fact that she is
not kept in her proper place. The
hen is worthy of the dairymen's seri-
GUS considera ton. She may be one of
his best friends instead of being
thought dire enemy

While it is the proper thing to give
plenty of room for bees to store hon
ely, it is a mistake to give it at the
wrong time. Too much space in early
spring when the bees are breeding
rapidly is detriment to them and
will retard breeding. 1t is bet
ter to contract the space, if the
bees are not strong, than to add
more to it in this instance. When the
space is suited to the colony they can
better economic heat, the most es-
sential thing in brood rearing. A hive
should be full of bees and a good sup
ply of brood present at any time be-
fore adding boxes. Almost every To-
cality has it's principal honey flow,
which usually occurs the last of May
or first of June and lasts six or eight
weeks. Ordinarily, when this begins
is the right time to add surplus boxes,
and in case colonies are very strong
previous to this time they may be put
on sooner. 1t will not pay to use box
es that do not contain comb or foun-
dation starters, and it will be found a
good investment to buy comb founda-
ton and use it literally. One pound
of comb foundation when drawn out
and completed will hold about fifty
pounds of honey, and to produce one
pound of comb bees consume about
fifteen pounds of honey, and some in
sist that they consume twenty. At
any rate, the least estimate put it
would be equivalent to $3.50 per
pound. The ready-made foundation
costs about 40 cents per pound, hence
will be seen the gain by it's use. This
does not cover all the advantages of
foundation, for it is perhaps as valua-
BILE in other particulars. With it's use
we get straight and perfect combs
and regulate the supply of drones tc
clude them entirely from the hive. In
natural building of comb by the bees,
without any exception, we have an
immense surplus of worthless drones,
and it is no use to set up the argu-
ment that the bees know best in this
respect how to regulate this supply.
During the honey harvest, bees
should have about fifty pound sur
plus capacity to the colony, and in
some cases more. The common meth
cd of raising comb honey is by the
use of section boxes, usually weigh
ing one pound each. These are used
in crates or supers, each super accom-
modating one tier of twentyfour sec
tions. The supers are arranged SO
that they may be placed one on top of
the other and any number of tiers
may thus be used and the bees have
access to them all. Ordinarily, two
tiers are used at once, and in some
cases three, but if the honey is not re-
moved as fast as the sections are com
pleted, but left on until the end of the
honey flow, more are used, being
stacked up one above the other, the
finished sections always kept the
highest and those to be filled near the
bees. 1t is preferable to use less space,
and remove the sections as fast as
completed, and by this means we get
