HINTS FOR FARMERS.

Bounce the lazy hired man.
Everybody be kind to everybody else.
Feed plenty of carrots to all stock If
you have the carrots.
Bounce the hired man who is not will
ing TO feed the stock on Sunday.
Push every acre for all il is worth.
That is one way to discount low prices.
Kill the mems that lay no eggs. That
is, have nothing Oh the farm that does
not pay.
Economize labor on the farm. Lots
OF money goes to waste by the hired
man loaiing in the shade in summer.
Keep an account with each field on
the farm, charging il and crediting it.
1t will be the best thing you ever did.
Use very little corn in summer for
laying hens. Green food may be fed
at any time during the day. One great
fault is over-feeding, letting the hens
gorge themselves.
To get rid of small ants find the nest,
make hole through the center with a
bar or stick and pour in about half an
ounce of bisulphide of carbon. Then
close up the hole tight.
You can cut off the combs of fowls If
you prefer. Use sharp knife; cut Oft
both combs and wattles. To prevent
bleeding, first wash the head with
strong alum water and then sprinkle
with powdered anmonia.-Wcstern

CARE OF POULTRY.
How TO obtain satisfactory Results
from the Hens.

To keep up the vitality of flock
necessary for Il steady supply of eggs
all old ROSTERS must be disposed of
every second year at least. Procure n
new lot from unrelated stock. This is
one of the essentials. When spring
comes and hens grow broody, remove
each one to "a small house prepared for
hatching. Never leave sitting hens
among the layers. Around the floor of
the Matching shed arrange boxes half
filed with earth and straw, in which
are two or more china eggs. Cover Tie
hens for night, or until well settled
again, then exchange the false for fresh
eggs. Keep a supply Of shelled corn
continually in this sitting house that
hens may feed ut their pleasure and get
back TO eggs before they are chilled.
The result is ruch more satisfactory.
Also have plenty of fresh water and
oyster shells.
Strong chickens will usually begin to
hatch on the Goth day, though some will
be "a day or two later. Remove when dry
and keep covered in basket in the
house. If left in the nest the hen be-
comes restless and is likely to crush
them. When all are hatched put the
Ken with her brood of fluffy beauties
cut in coop. on grass if possible, but
at least separated by six-foot poultry
netting from the other yard. In 4 week
let them run at large in their own divi-
sion. Never feed raw corn meal slops.
1t is deadly. II corn meal must be used
bake it first into crumbly johnny
cake. The best feed is cracked grain,
fed dry, cracked oats, cracked corn,
cracked wheat. Alter the first week
whole wheat may be fed, to which, when
four weeks old, add whole corn, shelled.
See that they have fresh water, oyster
shell and coarse gravel or grit of some

In the second place l confine them

INCREASE THE RATION.
AT This Time of the Year stock should
he Fed Literally.


With all stock that is to be kept
through the winter it will be found cas-
Ter as well as more economical to keep
an animal thrifty than to allow il to
run down in condition and then attempt
TO feed 1t up. This is especially the
case at this season, when dry feed mast
be largely depended upon.
OF course the cost must always be
considered, as it is an item to feed and
keep in good thrifty condition at as
low cost as possible. At the same
time it should be Remembered that il is
never good economy to stint the feed at
the expense of growth.
With young and growing stock, and,
III fact, with all that are to be kept
through the winter it will be found
good plan to allow them to run out
every day that the weather will permit,
but AT the same time too much depend
ence should not be placed upon the
amount of feed that they will secure in
the pastures.
Generally it will be found good plan
tc gradually increase the ration night
and morning at this time, the amount
to be largely determined by the condi-
ton of the animals. If good shelter is
provided and they have been kept up in
a good thrifty condition, less grain is
needed than when the stock are ex-
posed to cold or storms, or have been al
lowed to run down in condition. OF
course roughncss is usually cheaper
than grain and one of the advantages
in providing comfortable shelter is
that it lessons the grain rations, and if
care is taken to make the shelter dry
ard comfortable a very light grain ra-
tion night and morning will keep in a
good condition. But care must be taken
now to keep watch on the stock. other
wise they may begin to fail, and this inn
plies more or less of loss, and under
present conditions if farming is TO be
made profitable every item must be
considered with growing stock, their
condition must be such that n steady
gain can be maintained until sufficient

For Land or For Crop.

The old question whether it is better
to manure for land or for crop is rot
much asked nowadays. The loss of orr

profits on crops require that farmers in

turns as possible from all the manure

Philadelphia, April 26. "A large crowd
was present at the Quaker City Athletic

weights, and O'Donnell was desirous of
redeeming himself.
Maher was in fairly good shape. Willie
O'Donneli seemed to have done some work
for the fray.
ODonnell made better showing than
was expected. In the first round Peter sent
Steve down twice with hard rights on the
Jaw and the timely clang of the bell saved
Steve.
In the second round Steve recovered
wonderfully and held his own he showed
great cleverness in the third, and scored
some stiff punches.
In the fourth 0'Donnell caught Maher
mapping and knocked him down.
Both were carelessin the finland spared
with little speed.
Maher rushed it in the sixth and forced
O'Donnell to the ropes. He swung his
right hard Oh Steve's jaw, sending him
down, and on his arising, forced him to
his corner, where he hit him right and
left on the body. O'Donnell was all but
out and held up his hand in token of de-
feat.
