Poultry Notes.

Hens that do not have water regu-
will suffer and not prod uce well.
If hen nets you dollar year,
that is enough to expect as steady
thing.
1t is mistake to suppose the incu-
bator is an automatic machine that will
run itself.
1t is best not to have too many nests.
A dozen hens can get along we'll with
four or five.
When you do not want them to breed
do not let the hens and ROSTERS run
together.
The laying of unusually large eggs is
proof that the hens are in an overfat
condition.
Feed the cockerels for bone flesh and
muscle. Feed the pullets for your next
winters layers.
The nest egg, if not china should be
marked 50 that it will not get into lot
sent to market.
The Plymouth Rock attains maturity
earlier than the Wyandotte, but the
latter is more persistent layer.
1t must be poor soil indeed in which
the scratching biddies will not find
some reward for their labor.
Those who think thirteen an unlucky
number Can get the hen, to spread over
fifteen eggs for sitting.
If the hens are slow to wean the
chicks, take them away as they crowd
the young ones at night when confined
in box.
AS soon as the cockerels begin to
crow separate them from the pullets.
They will thrive better. and besides,
they require different feed.
If the young chicks ale confined in
barren yards give them plenty of cab
bage, lettuce or grass from the lawn.
They will relish it fer change.
Don't let the chicks roost with the
old fowls until at least three months
old. Their breast bones are tender and
will become crooked if permitted 10 sit
on the roost.
If Young broods are cooped for the
first month 1t gives the chick two
chances to reach maturity where it
would have but one if running about
while young and tender.
Sunshine is the best medicine for
poultry as well as men. If the house
is dark and gloomy, the fowls will stay
out OF it even in the worst weather.
Nothing likes sunshine more than poul.
try.
Cholera among chickens is disease
which is result Of the poor conditions
which surround them. With good food,
fresh, pure water, daily clean quarters
and good range, it seldom gets foot
hold.
Lice sap the blood from the chickens,
and cause restlessness of nights; and
on mornings fowls come from the roosts
feverish ard thirsty. They drink too
much, and sit around and soon get in
digestion. They take cold easily when
their systems are so impaired, and the
cold, if let alone, runs into roup.

Hints on Food.

The digestive system, beginning with
the teeth, and ending with the lower
intestines, is perhaps more abused than
any part of the human body. Most Of
this tract being concealed from view,
is also less understood than any other
part of the body. With the advance Of
modern science, little knowledge of
the organs along this line may be the
means of saving doctors bills and
avoiding sickness,
The teeth which act as the grinders
Of the food, preparing it for the stom.
ach, should be as well cared for as the
face and hands. Who would think of
going year in and year out without
washing his face and hands? Yet how
many there are who never wash their
mouth or teethl
The remnants of food adhering to,
and filling the spaces and cayities be,
tween the teeth; decay very rapidly IN,
der the action of the microbes, con-
stantly coming in contact Herewith,
giving rise to POISONOUS substances and
foul gases. With each renewed masti,
cation and deglutition portions this
decayed food pass into the stomach to
poison the mass prepared for future use,
giving rise to many i'll conditions.
Suitable powders and washes of an
antiseptic nature and a good tooth
brush used every day will accomplish
the first condition. A few grains of
potash taken in glass of water if taken
into the mouth and stomach in tea.
spoonful doses as required will cleanse
tie mouth and stomach and correct a
foul breath.
Iced cold or boiling hot foods and
drinks should never be taken into the
mouth or stomach for they are iniu-
rious to the teeth and all delicate mem.

boiling coffee, tea, or water into the
eye or ear, or of washing in such solu.
tons, yet how many people parboil the
stomach!
/ once saw man who would howl
if bay rum was put on his face after he

for all people sometimes, but not for all
people all the time.
Digestion is frequently iuterfered
with in both the stomach and intestines
by the use of tight clothes or corsets
these organs become partially paralyzed
by pinching or squeezing, just as the
foot suffers from tight shoe. Under
these circumstances these organs be.
come inactive, digestion is retarded,
fermentation of the food takes place,
giving rise to more or less poisonous
substances which pass into circulation
and poison the blood. Intestinal d.
gestion is retarded, the organs are
finally weakened and habitual consti

About 1900 Israelites assembled in one
Of the public squares OF New York to
have their simple and impressive cere-
moay. A policeman arrested a rabbi
who seemed TO be in charge. handled him
roughly and took him TO station house.
The worshippers had assembled without
a permit from the park board and the
police determined to make an example
for somebody.
The police magistrate said that the ar
rest was properly made, but he released
the rabbi Under the law in New York
the assemblage was unlawful without q
permit, and the Israel!tes had not
thought to ask for permit, perhaps did
not know that one was necessary.

The recent Congress fixed $500 per ton
as the maximum price 10 be paid hereaf-
ter for armor plate for war ships. Here
,ofore the government has been paying
$500 per ton. When the time came 20
open bids there was but one bid and that
was At the rate OF $500 per ton.
Tho proposal was accompanied with
some remarkable conditions. that the
government must take u minimum of
COCO tons of armor plate per year, or pay
500 per ton as a forfeit for each ton not
taken; also that the Illinois Steel Com
pany, the only bidder. should have the
monopoly of armor plate contracts for
twenty years. There was no competition
in the bidding and the proposal was 50
prepOsterous that, Of course, the govern
ment viii not take 1t into account.
The trouble with the whole armor plate
business is that the necessary equipment
REQUIRES a large outlay OF money. and no
company will undertake the work unless
Il has a reasonable prospect OF finding a
considerable market for it, product. The
Carnegie Company and the Bethlcham
Company have been furnishing US ar
NOR plate, and they insist that 1t cannot
be sold at as low price as $500 per ton.
The one company which is willing TO
come within the figures fixed by Con-
gress exacts preposterous conditions. So
here we are. 1t was proposed, in the re-
cent Congress. that the government erect
plant and make It's own armor plate.
The probability is that II the government
were to do.this 1t would ind itself paying
a higher price for arnOr plate than II
ever did before, work done by the gov
eminent not being proverbially cheap.
The situation is rather perplex!nS
one. 1t is desirable TO buy our armor
plate in this country, but II 1t be found
that American manufacturers will not
furnish this product on reasonable terms.
the best way to meet the matter IS to pur-
chase some armor plate abroad. This
would bring American manufacturers OF
armor plate to reasonable terms IL any
thing would.
There is a suspicion that these manu-
facturers have been making profits out
Of all reason, and, OF course, 1t Is not the
patriotic duty of the government to per-
init Itself to be robbed under the guiss OF
patriotism. The government represents
all the people and should demand far
play, as any individual would do In his
own business.
