Winter Poultry Notes.

How Much oom?-More room is re-
quired in the poultry house in winter
than in summer because during the
warm season the fowls can go outside,
only requiring sufficient room for roost-
ing, but in winter they need room for
scratching when the snow is on the
ground. 1t is the space on the floor
that is required and not on the roost,
for when a hen fixes herself on the
roost she will be quiet until morning;
but during the day she should be kept
busy. Ten fowls in poultry house
ten feet .auare (making 100 square feet
are sufficient, but most persons endeav-
or to double and even treble that num-
Der, and the consequence is that they
feed too many fowls in proportion to
the number of hens they keep. (The
Farmers Review doubts the correctness
of the statement, and believes that far
less room is required.)
Frozen Food food that has been
moistened will freeze and become use
less when the weather is cold. When
the food is placed in the trough it
should be rather too little than too
much, and should be given warm. AS
soon as the hens have eaten, all the
food left over should be removed and
the trough cleaned. II they have not
had enough little wheat or corn may
be scattered in litter for them to
scratch. II they eat partially frozen

Henry ". as n Phrase Maker.

Henry ", the idol of the French

ers. During one of his tours through
France he arrived at small village
and ordered that the most intelligent
yillager be sent TO converse with him
while he dined. When the rustic ap-
peared the king ordered him to take a
seat opposite to him at the table.

food the hens will be chilled and will
not lay.
Winter Expenses. The profits will
not be large il the expenses are not
kept down. The loss from useless
males, hens that do not lay, and chicks
that make no growth sometimes bal
ances the profits produced by the profit
able hens. There will be some good
hens in all fiocks, and they give large
profits for the entire year, but the
expenses due to keeping fowls that pro-
duce nothing lead the inexperienced to
attach the fault to the whole, the good
as well as the inferior: when the best
course is to dispose Of all but the ones
that are paying for the shelter and food
bestowed.
Bowel Disease and Chicks-The
principal cause of loss Of chicks in
winter is bowel disease, which is gen.
orally attributed to the kind Of food
used, but which is due, as rule, TO
lack of warmth. Chicks are very sus-
ceptible to changes OF temperature, and
especially during damp days. A brood
er should be kept at 95 degrees and the
brooder house at Is degrees, so as to
prevent the chicks from being chilled
at any time, for should young chick
become chilled bowel sease at once
sets in and the chick soon dies.-Mir-
ror and Farmer.

miles per hour.
Average time, excluding stops, 1854
miles per hour.
The first stop made by the train after
| leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed. At Aurora the travelling en-
gineer took one minute to look the en-
CINE over and the train ran without
stop until Mendoza was reached, when
three minutes more were consumed for
the same purpose A total of twenty
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver, consuming in adj sixty
four minutes. The longest stop was
made az Red Oak, Ia, where engines
were changed on account OF a hot
truck. At this point the fastest run
OF the trip was made. Soon after leav-
ing Creston it was discovered that a
box on one OF the engine trucks was
heating but in spite of this fact the
run of thirty-six miles was made in
thirty-four minutes. At Villisca
fresh engine was substituted and the
run TO Red Oak, fifteen miles. was
made in as many minutes.
Over long stretches of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
more than mile minute for dis
tances of forty to sixty miles. Six en-
gineers took the train from Chicago to
Denver, making an average of 10
miles to each run.

Helps Hog Cholera Along.

have known hog cholera germs to be
conveyed four miles on the wind,
alight in a filthy hog pen and finally
destroy all the hogs in 1t, while hogs
in clean pens near by escaped, says an
exchange. There is a great disparity
of opinion as to what filth is. Gener-
ally it emits a dlsagreeable scent A
sinking swill barrel or hog trough is
not cleanliness, nor Is bad smelling
hogpen. "Hogging down" corn, espe-
cially when the weather is warm, Is
not clean proceeding. A hog may
eat part of an ear of corn. leave solid
droppings on the remainder to tester
in the hot sun, cholera bacteria alight
upon it and breed, and then another
hog comes along and finishes the ear,
disease germs and all. Hogs follow
ing cattle"-well, this Is dangerous
ground. So many practice it and be-
lieve in it that if should condemn 1t
all the Toms, Dicks and Harrys from
Oklahoma to Ohio would follow" me
with the precipitancy of man run
ming down stairs pursued by kitchen
stove, and perhaps, for safety, compel
ling me hastily to seek the shortest way
to the tallest timber So / will let that
pass and say nothing about 1t. Any
thing that weakens a hogs system
makes him more receptive Of cholera
microbes. In this category can be
too close inbreeding, breeding
from immature animals and wrong
feeding, as an all corn diet for young
animals, sinking slops, impure drink
ing water, nesting in cold. damp pla-
ces and other errors in feeding and
care. Disease bacteria and cleanliness
are antagonistic, and the farmer will
not flourish if environed by the latter.
with this one exception, that there has
been a profuse production of the for
mer in some nearby fountain of filth.

THE RECORD BROKEN.
c.. 3. & O. ACCOMPLISHES A
GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Huntington Route
Runs from Chicago to Denver, 1.O:J
Niles. at an Average Speed OF NearI,
B3 Miles an Hour.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fast running.
1t was made in a race against death
TO carry Henry j. Mayham of New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver
The distance from Chicago to Dem
ver '25 miles. was covered in ex-
actly 1,069 minutes actual running
time This is only small fraction
less than one mile a minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad in the world.
1t was a run made in the ordinary
course of business. No special prepa-
ration whatever had been contem-
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
Of the engine was pulled open and ths
train glided out of the Union Depot on
a race which surprised railroad men
the world over.
Tht engine which took the train on
the first run out of Chicago to Gales
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up, but it
was quickly turned around, attached to
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought ii to
Chicago. Not more than half dozen
officials or employees of the road knew
the trip was to be made. This fact is
the most important in the history of
the great feat, as it demonstrates the
superb physical condition OF the road
and the perfect management which en-
ables such remarkable time to te
maintained for more than a thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break-
ing train is as follows, including all
stops:
