THE HEN ON THE FARM.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
This paper will begin with a contes-
sion I was originally a total disbe-
lever in the hen. She was with me q
fowl simply brought into existence to
make life miserable for us poor men
and to be tolerated only because Of the
pleas of the gentIer sex. Born with an
Unsuitable appetite and the most de-
structive of all creatures so far as re-
lates to her beak and claws, I had
thought she never should be allowed to
occupy any place of consequence upon
my premises. no longer hold this
view. Why3
Well, still hold that the hen out Of
place is troublesome thing. She viii
do an immense amount of damage out
of her sphere. So I have been trying
to fine the hens sphere, and we, wife
and I, think we have found it. Early
in the game it began to be evident to
me that the hen, in proportion to her
value, was more profitable than any
other thing in the shape of beast or,
fowl upon the farm. My wife attended
to that branch of the business and does
now. Keeping record of her transac-
tions, she was always able to show q
balance on the right side. This opened
nv eyes gradually, and from being an
opponent OF the hen, I began to look
with favor upon her. Beginning with
a few hens, by degrees we increased
our flock until it outgrew the house
and then we made plans to enlarge the
building. The past winter have got
out timbers for hen house twice Che
size Of the old one.
The feed is all raised on the place ex-
cept the bran. In the morning the
hens get a ration of warm feed com
posed of bran and meal. Later In the
day they are fed corn on the cob, so
that they may be compelled to work
for what they get, or buckWheat or
oats scattered in chaff or straw. In
winter a cabbage is hung up in the
house at such height from the floor
that they can only reach it by jumping.
Shells are provided during confinement
and box of dust which they greatly
enjoy. By setting hens early we get
pullets which begin to lay in the early
winter and keep it up while eggs bF1n

AGRTCULTURE.

Sixteen thousand barrels of apples
were gathered last fall from three ad'
Joining farms in Maine.
Don't be afraid to ploW the orchard
in the spring. 1t won't hurt it. But
do not go deep, only about three or
four inches.
1t is announced that some wonderful
things can be made of ordinary corn
stalks and a company has been formed
to start an industry of that kind. We
expect another trust lis brewin'!"
1t is stated that six million bushels
of onions were imported into this coun-
try last year and they cost US about
s., 400. 900. Yet we can grow onions to
perfection. Some plan should be
adopted to remedy this matter.
Live stock on the farm makes the
farm capable of giving profit. The
animals provide a market at home for
a large share of the products and per-
. nit Of selling in concentrated form
that which would otherwise be too
bulky to haul.
When clover seed is sown early the
freezing and thawing Of the ground get
it covered we'll before there is enough
warm weather to sprout it. When
sprouted it is 80 well protected that it
is not injured by freeze which would
kill it if the roots we're exposed.
However low the prices may be, it
will al ways pay to do the best we can.
II the profit from a good crop Of wheat
or corn, from a good beef animal, ls
small, remember that it would have
been much smaller still if the crop or
the animal had been q poor one.
Potatoes are not much injured by
the shade, and are a good crop to grow
IN young orchard; and the potash,
which is a good fertilizer for this crop,
IS also good for the trees. Corn is also
a good crop to grow there, and it can
be grown two or three years in success
sion.
Il is not the land, but the man,
usually, at fault when the crops are
poor, and the man is to be credited
when they are large and profitable. II
Is very certain that the success OF q
mans work depends upon the amount
OF intelligence possessed by the man
himself.

the old patrons of the Durham tobacco
market
AS it is now. the hired buyer of the
Dukes, branch of the great A. 7. O.,
starts through the different warehouses
and giving but glance at the piles Of
tobacco, bidding capriciously, giving
one price one day, and the next day an
other price for the same quality. while
the warehouse man goes hopelessly and
helplessly along calling out, IBID up,
gentlemen; give the old man the worth
of his tobacco"
Now, my farmer friends, what are
you going to do about it9 Are you
still going to vote in the future for the
parties that make combines and trusts
possible9 Nay more foster and cherish
them. Are you going to plant full
crops of tobacco9 Please don't. Plant
less and make it better.

TOBACCO MARKETS.
Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.

ALAMANoE Co, N. G.
A few days ago was on the tobacco
market at ---, leading market
for that commodity. The day was fine,
The condition of the tobacco was good !;
neither too hard nor too soft; the break
was not heavy, the sale lasting about
three hours. Quite number of buy
ers were present, and among them one
whom the auctioneer called by abrevia
tion A. T. c., which in their lingo
stands for American Tobacco Com
pany. Every pile found purchaser,
though some of it only brought half
enough to pay for the fertilizer used to
produce it, and the producer got moth
ing for all his labor in raising it, and
putting it on the market. In fact, there
was not a pile on the break that Gid
not sell from three to five times less
than the same tobacco would have
brought few years ago. The ware
house men on being questioned, when
will the market be better9" replied:

POULTRY ARD
SOME GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF
BREEDING FOWLS.

Times without number we hear it
said that 1.-The male is one-half the pen.
If we stop to consider that every chick
among the progeny inherits one half
the blood of the male, while only one
sixth, one tenth, or one twentieth, as
the case may be, derive blood from
each female, should we not decide that
the male is far more than one half the
pen7 Exceptional vigor is certainly a
first requisite for the male. The one
cock that bosses all the rest is the very
one to select for breeder, if he is good
otherwise. Extra weight is not always
greatly to be desired in q cock. It
often leads to injury of his mates; and
as the bodies of progeny follow the
female largely, extra weight is not SO
necessary for the male bird. Since the
hens should be selected from excep-
tiOnal layers, it follows that they should
be hens, rather than pullets, as young
pullets have seldom been well tested.
The eating capacity of both parents de-
serves the best attention, as this,
coupled with good digestion, usually
distinguishes the best, the most vigor-
GUS fowls. Mating at the proper season
is also cardinal point Early Febru-
ary or March for Asiatics, and late
March or April for Leghorns and kind
red breeds is, as rule, far better than
earlier dates.-American Agriculturist.

THE SUsQUEHANNA'S TRIP.
Full Particulars of Her Fast Voyage
Around the Horn.

The four master clipper ship Susque-
hanna arrived in New York August ~
from Honolulu, after a quick passage
of eighty-nine days, says the San
Francisco Commercial News. This is
the best time made since away back
in the fifties, when the Sovereign of
the Seas made the passage in eighty
two days. On that trip the Sovereign
of the Seas covered 436 miles in one
day, and her avera.>n per day for four
days was 30S miles. The Susuuehap-
mas log shows that she covered the
distance from Honolulu to Hape in
forty-seven days. She was thereabouts
on July 4th and the day was celebrat-
ed by a dinner to the whole ships
company of thirty men, consisting of
roast pig, fresh vegetable and punch.
Off the Horn the ship encountered
some bad weather and had to reduce
canvass. Then she struck favorable
weather. and for nineteen davs her
average was 210 knots. Her best days
run during the nineteen days was 27O
knots. She was only twenty-three

There Is not man in the clup un-

With the exception of one who resides

EX-CONSUL McIVOR TALKS On

Believes His Government and Ha-

from Yokohama to Washington, where
he has been United States Consul Gen
eral for the. past four years. He and
his family sailed on the Doric on last
Thursday.
During his residence in Yokohama,
Mr.. McIvor has been most acute OBJ
server of the trend of affairs in Ja-
pan, and more particularly did he give
his attention to the state of affairs
between Japan and Hawaii as they eX-
list in the land of the rising sun.
81 can truthfully say that it will be
exceedingly dangerous for the Islands
to remain independent for the reason
that Japan has an ambition to gain
control over them" said Mr.. McIvor,
in an interview just a few hours pre-
vious to his departure. This is not
an idle statement, 1 assure you, for
have come to that conclusion only af-
ter long and careful study of the sit
uation.

Mr.. McIvor was questioned concern
ing the treatment of foreigners in ia
pan by the natives. He replied that

were cocky in their manner toward

as suspicion which they hold against
