Geo. Entry, in Poultry Advocate,
says: That there are great many
breeds, which, with their numerous
subdivisions, make quite a formidable
array, especially in the eyes Of one
first attending a poultry show, is GER
tainly an undisputed fact. 1t is at
times a perplexing matter for the be-
ginner to make a choice among so
many. And yet l believe that 1t is
one Of the good things in our poultry
culture, for with such an array OF
fowls a kind may be selected possess
ing just the qualities desired. For ex-
ample, A lives In a large city and has
a couple Of hundred feet of back yard.
1t is of no use as garden, being too
much shaded by surrounding buildings.
He concludes to utilize it as a run for
a dozen hens. Now he can not sue
cessfully raise any chicks; therefore
the hAtching propensity would be a
decided nuisance in his hens. Forum
ately he can get fowls which will fur
nish him a bountiful supply Of eggs
without attempting to hatch. He can
get them Of almost any color and
markings he may fancy. B lives on a
country place and can raise chicks. He
may select a fowl which will not only
lay well, but will hatch and rear chicks
as we'll He may wish to sell young
chicks in the early spring and summer
months and grown cockerels in au-
tumn and winter. He can be suited to
nicely. There are the Dominiques,
JaVas, Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes,
ETC., to select from. And so / might
go on through all the different places
where and purposes for which fowls
are kept. No, there are not too many
breeds and varieties of domestic fowls

When the young pigs are to come ID
all a matter of convenience and man
agement. The average time of gesta-
ton is liz days. The custom is that
March to May will catch most of them.
Comfortable quarters on the solitary
family plan should be provided. Ar
range for the little fellows getting out
on the clean ground to exercise. In a
month or six weeks start them to eat

ture Of them. This will save the life
OF many a youngster, for one Of the
troublesome traits they have inherited
and man has accentuated is such an APP
petite and untimely craving Of the
stomach that before they are old
enough to know good from bad In the
way OF eating they swallow bits of cob,
gravels, bedding and truck entirely in
digestible and that clogs the intestines,
and death, Of course, follows. Proper
feed seems to prevent this. At ten or
twelve weeks your pigs should have
learned to eat their fill without harm,
and to eat separately from the mother
in place where they alone can get.
Accustom the pigs to their future quar-
ters while the mother is with them,
To wean, pen up the mother and change
her round.-D. j. Frazer.

mother, hiding under brush or in
some place where the hawk cannot
catch them in its swOop. Should thc
hawk succeed in carrying one Of them
on you will hear a most despairlng
scream, perfectly unique, from the
mother of the victim. The other ur-
bereaVed mothers do not utter the
same cry. Unless chicken is carried
off you will not hear this cry. Is not
this language? The same sOund' oc-
casionally differently accented to de-
note intensity or the reverse, always
used to convey the same idea by diner
emit individuals and understood by all.
Abolish the Feed-TrOugh.-The feed
trough, or, rather, the feed hopper that
is kept full Of food, is the lazy mans
method of feeding, and 1t is not only
expensive, because it induces the hens
to eat at all hours of the day, but 1t
causes them to fatten and become sub
ject to disease, thus diminishing the
supply Of eggs. When feeding the hens
with grain, let 1t be scattered Wide'
which not only prevents the greedy
hens from securing more than their
share, but compels all to hunt for IT,
thereby taking exercise and remaining
in better condition for laying. Eek.

Whore Are You Going This Summer
Now that summer is here, and warm
weather is near at hand, the great num-
Der of people who have acquired the
habit Of spending the "hot spell" in
some cooler place than home, are be-
ginning to plan as to where they will
90. It has been demonstrated that
people living in high attitudes should
go to the seashore, and people living In
low attitudes should go to the noun
tains; and "the mountains" has come
10 mean Colorado, because there Is
found more in the way Of recreation
and pleasure than in any other locality.
1t would fill much space to name the
many places which possess attractions,
but any Of the many points on the
Denver G. Rio Grande railway will be
found pleasing to tourists. Trout fish
ing is probably the most enjoyable
sport to be pursued, because it can be
had with less trouble, annoyance and
expense than any other, but the sports
man who is willing to undertake the
extra hardships Of going after bear,
deer. elk and other wild animals that
abound, can satisfy his ambition to the
fullest extent. Those who prefer less
laborious amusement for the summer,
as a visit, at the springs, resorts, etc.,
can be equally well pleased at the
numerous places Of the kind. For
those who wish to unite business with
pleasure, Is open the opportunity Of
prospecting or investing in Colorado
mines. and In this direction no place
promises such flattering returns. The
mining interests, while having already
Welded enormous wealth, are only in
their infancy, and every day shows the
dieoovery Of rich values never before
SUSPECTED, and it is becoming proven
hal that the "tenderfoot" Strikes 1t"
as frequently as the practical miner.
The latter looks only for the partlcu-
lar rock that he knows bears fruit,
while the former tests everything he
finds and often discovers the mineral
where the "old timer" has run over It.
You will make no mistake in going to
Colorado for your summer outing.

What AIls tho Hen?

This is question that is often asked,
AMI am sure can not always be cor
rectly answered. For instance this
last week l had hen that was sick.
The symptoms were these. She was
much inclined to stay on the roost and
refuse food. The feathers on her head
would stand up almost straight, giving
the idea that the fowl was being sub
ject to some sharp, thrilling pain. Her
eyes also seemed to indicate internal
pain. But her comb was red, and she
showed no sign Of indigestion. When
out Of doors she would stand nearly
straight. Altogether her look was that
of healthy but uncomfortable hen.
Now what would our doctors have de-
clared to be the matter with the fowl?
I said NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. But
l was wrong. I killed the hen and
dressed her. Then the mystery was
uncovered. found two Jumps of hard
material; they proved to be cysts that
had formed over two sharp wires that
had been eaten by the hen at some time
evidently far in the past. One OF these
cysts was in the external portion OF
the gizzard, out Of which the wire had
worked. The gizzard had grown UP
under the wire, and the latter was
pushing its way through the flesh Of the
hen. The sharp point of the wire on
the outside of the gizzard was moi
covered by the cyst, but was left bare
to act as probe in cutting away a pas
sage for itself. The cyst was formed
around and behind the wire. 1t was
one of those admirable provisions o.
nature for the casting off of undesir
able foreign matter. Another wire ant
cyst were found just under the breast
bone, just under the skin, and there II
no doubt that in little while it would
have been able to get through and out
The cyst was nearly half an inch IL
diameter.
The moral is that we should be care
full that our fowls can not get at sucl
things as sharp nails, wire, pins o.
tacks. am glad killed the fowl, ant
I am sure that no fowl doctor coulC
have diagnosed the trouble.

Mrs. Kabolac on Fowl Language.

Man with all his superior intelligence
and inventive genius must now take
a back seat In the matter OF language
to the common barnyard fowl Of the
world, says Southern Fancier. For
centuries this noble lord Of creation
has tried to found a universal Ian
guage without success, the nearest ap-
proach being Volapuk, the invention
Of that accomplished linguistic student,
Rev. DR.. Johan Schleyer, Of Baden,
Germany. Fowls have long since mas
tered the knotty subject for as Mrs.
Ka' lac boldly asserts they possess a
general language. Says she: Take
a fowl from Japan end one from Eng
land, and then one from France, one
from America. Set all these, suppos-
ing them to be hens. When the chicks
hatch you will hear them calling to
the TIMES In the self-same notes, the
same punctuation, we'll, the same
words. Throw some egg crumbs down
when these chicks are twenty-four
hours old, you will hear q slmultane-
ously and exactly similar call from all
four hens to their chicks. Il is an
other cry, another punctuation, an
other series Of notes, another sem
tence which they will pronounce. II
they have not been fed on too much
egg they will accentuate the call in an
excited shrill way. This evidently
means that the food is extraordinarily
nice, for the chicks rush in a great
hurry when they hear this peculiar
call, even IL fed a few minutes before.
A hawk sails over, the four hens utter
an exactly similar note, supposing they
have all seen 1t, II not one takes the
alarm for the other. What Is the re-
suit? The chicks fully comprehendlng
this peculiar cry, never heard at other
times, but only evoked by the presence
Of a hawk, rush away from their

Profits from Sheep Raising.-The
profits from sheep raising are derived
from a different point from that of a
decade or more ago. The farmer now
no longer finds it profitable to keep
sheep for the fleece alone, and, al
though lamb and mutton hold fairly
we'll on the markets, yet we think the
greater profits lie in the improvements
made on farms by sheep husbandry
1t has been found by close observers
that farms that have best retained
their original fertility or increased
their productiveness are those on
which large numbers Of sheep have
been kept. They do not run down like
the farms that are devoted to raising
grain for the market. Old farms,
which are so prone to grow up In
thorns, thistles, etc., are the more
easily cleaned of them by pasturing
sheep on them. Pastures even inn
prove under them, but are compare
lively free from weeds and bushes,
while the soil is firm and productive OF
the best sorts Of grasses. Not only
grasses, but crops of every kind will do
well on pastures where sheep have
been kept.-Ex.

Egg Cases.-Poor packages are a
false economy. We have plenty Of evil
dence of this both as to butter and egg
shipments. About poor butter tubs we
shall have a good deal to say later on.
Just now we wish to call especial at
tention to the unfortunate results Of
using poor egg cases. We find that a
good many shippers, in the effort to
save a few cents in cost Of cases, buy
second hand goods. It is a false econ
omy. AS rule they are no good. We
have seen many instances where they
have been used with bad results. A
case in point will illustrate. A lot Of
100 cases Ohio eggs was received few
DAYS ago; the goods were fine as to
quality but the 100 cases had 100
dozen broken eggs in them; the cases
were second hand and imperfect. Some
Of the cases had more than half the
contents broken. It will be readily seen
that this loss is far beyond any posi-
BILE saving in the price Of the cases.

WEAVING Lambs.-When the wean-

Salt the Hogs.-It never occurs to
some people that hogs need salt. Salt
helps in the assimilation Of food as
much in the hog as in any other ami
NAL. Some food elements will not dis
solve in any other than saline solu-
ton and unless they are dissolved they
cannot be passed through the capil-
laries to aid in the formation Of new
tissues. Any animal should have salt
regularly every day In the year, and
unless It is furnished there will be .
waste Of food.-Ex.

Butter at q Loss.
Mary Ann.

Think of a man making butter that
costs him IL to IA cents per pound and
swapping it at s and 10 cents per
pound for groceries at the country
store. Think of him selling cream to
the creamery, and never stopping to
think, study or read an hour in a
month as to the kind of cows he ought
to have for the business, or the proper
way to care for them in order to get
the most cream. Think of a man
blindly plunglng along in these old
ruts of farm practice for years, never
caring to read what other men are
doing who are successful and making
money in the dairy business. Think Of
a man doing all these things, as thous-
ands are doing, and not caring enough
for his own profit to invest 100 cents a
year in a dairy paper that is wide
awake to his best interests all the
time, and worth every week ten times
its cost.-H. c. Carpenter, before Min
nesota Dairy Association.

A Hog Cholera 0utbreak.-A recent
outbreak OF hog cholera near the Twin
Cities when there were no diseased
herds known to be within hundred
miles or more, may prove valuable
lesson II properly understood and util-
ICED. The outbreak referred to was in
a herd that was in fine condition; 1t
was housed, fed and cared for in every
way in a first-class manner, and the
health Of the animals was excellent. In
a manner that we have not space to de-
tail 1t was learned that the disease
was communicated to the herd by a
man who came to the place from a dis
tant infected district, who had been
among diseased hogs, and without
change Of clothes or other precautions
went among this healthy herd and left
the germs Of disease there that will
probably destroy 1t. There is no ques-
ton about real hog cholera being in
fictitious, and that 1t may be easily and
unsuspectingly transmitted, as In this
case. The moral OF this is: Allow no
stranger to visit the pens Of healthy
hogs; or still better, do not let him
come on the place unless he can give
ample assurance that he could not by
any possibility have been in contact
with cholera hogs. Hogs must be pro-
tected from this contagion as the mem
bers Of the family would be protected
from smallpox. Up to date this is all
that can be done to stay the dread
plague, and therefore every possible
precaution against its spread should be
