PERNIClouS PRACTICE.
Overlooking Spells More Good Hens Tina
Anything Else.

Overlooking Spells More Good Hens Than
Anything Else.
Overlooking is mostly done with soft
food. 1t is placed in a trough and the
fowls are allowed to help themselves,
the consequences being that some get
more than their share while others get
much less, the fortunate ones becoming
fat and lazy, and all of them reaching
the same condition later. Soft food
should not be considered as a meal, but
only a part thereof, hence the fowls
should never be given more than one
half the quantity they would eat. 1t is
necessary at times to vary the ration
by the use of soft food, as bran, mid
dlings, linseed meal and ground meat
can best be given in such form, but all
classes of poultry will eat as much as
possible at meal when there are a
number of fowls together, as they are
induced to do so through competition.
Ducks and turkeys prefer soft food, but
chickens are more partial to whole
grains and other seeds, which can be
scattered over wide surface, in which
case all hens will share alike. To learn
how much soft food to give, put a
certain amount of food in trough and
let the hens eat until they walk away
satisfied. Weigh the amount left over
and you will then know the exact
quantity eaten; that is how much they
can and will eat, but the next day they
should receive not over one-half the
quantity eaten the day before.-Rural

Prepare This Winter for the BreOds to

1t is well to utilize the leisure of
winter in preparing for the rush of
work that always comes when spring
opens. One such preparation is the
preparing of the needed chicken coops
for the broods to be Matched out during
the spring months. A simple arrange
ment is shown in the cut. Empty gro
Gerry boxes are produced and turned
upon their sides. the cover being re-
placed by Stats, the cover being re-

full of chaff. In this is set section of
pasteboard egg filler cut to the size
needed for sitting of eggs. Put in the
eggs, small end down, and sift in chaff
about each egg and about the ends and
sides of the egg filler. Cover the whole
with chaff to height of two or three
inches, then lay a newspaper or two
over the top, tucking the edges in care
fully about the edges of the basket.
Over this lay piece of pasteboard, cut
to fit the top of the basket, and sew the
edges to the rim of the basket. The
latter should have newspaper laid in
the bottom, at the beginning, before
chaff is put in at all. Two sittings can

Convict in Sing Sing Prison Now Engaged
in Its Construction.
A convict in Sing Sing is now engaged
in constructing the largest church or
gan of the reed type yet known. twill
contain 6s notes more than the largest
standard reed organ of which there is
any record. This instrument, says the
New York Times, was designed ex-
pressly for one of the chapelsin the new
administration building, and its de-
signer's plans and elaborate music
scheme have been examined and APP
proved by some of the best organ max.
ers in the country.
The designer and builder of this or
gan is an intelligent young German,
who, after mastering his trade of organ
building, got into bad habits, commit
ted felony and is now serving few
years term in state prison. Warden
Sage learned of the young convict's
capabilities through some drawings
which he made, and, finding him COM
petent and eager to ply his trade, the
warden fitted up a small room for his
use, provided the necessary materials
and set him towork.
This employment caused a visible
change in the demeanor of the man.
Naturally frank and free from vicious
ness, the moment he found he was trust
ed with the responsibilities of an i'm
portant piece of work the chronic sui
lenness of prison life left him. He is
now working zealously; his artisan
pride is aroused and he proposes max
ing two first-class organs-the larger
one for the Roman Catholic chapel, and
the smaller one for the Protestant
chanel

Quite Pretty Penny Can Be Earned by
Little Timely Care.
If care is taken to look out for all
scraps of wax, cappings and pieces of
combs that for any reason are rejected
it will make pretty piece of wax in the
course of the year. If solar wax ex-
tractor is used of course it can only be
used when the sun is shining and the
weather warm, making 1t impossible to
render any wax except in hot weather.
But there may be more leisure for it
now, and on one account cold weather
is desirable. In melting up old black
combs the cocoons in them absorb a
large amount Of wax which is lost. To
prevent such absorption soak the combs
thoroughly in water. SO that the cocoons

The following are recommendations
as useful poultry food: Cows milk,
barley middlings, buckwheat bran, bar
ley bran, rye bran, coarse wheat bran,
cotton seed, millet, wheat, turnips. cab
bage, white clover and red clover. Cut
green bones are also considered valua-

meat, liver, lungs, etc., may be substi-

grateful to the chicks in hot weather,

MATCHING TOO EARLY.
Important Facts Which Are Ovorlo0ke,
by Many PouItrymen.

Important Facts Which Are Overlooked
by Many POultrymen.
If pullets are Matched too early they
may mott in the fall, and for that reason
it is not the practice to hatch them be-
fore March. This melting in the fall,
instead of beginning to lay at that sea-
son, is the exception, and not the rule,
but it Is better not to hatch earlier.
Keep In view the fact, also, that the
ing which to grow than the small
breeds, and that only the pullets of the
large breeds should be Matched early.
They are intended to come into service
next fall, and then lay through the
winter. Light Brahmas, Cochins and
Plymouth Rocks should be Matched in
March, Langshans, Wyandottes and
Minorcas by April 10. and Leghorns,
Hamburgs and other small breeds by
May 1. The small breeds sometimes
begin to lay when only five months old,
and 1t is not always desirable for them
.vlgor. The pullet that does not begin
to lay until November, and then starts
at work, will probably lay during the
whole winter.-Farm and Fireside.
