An Easter Scramble.

Easter Monday is the great carnival
of the year at Hallaton. England. Then
the Unreasonable and bottle-kicking
take place. In remote times, says the
author of "Old English Customs" a
piece of land was bequeathed to the
rector, on condition that he and his
successors should provide annually
two hare-pies, quantity of ale and
two dozen penny loaves to be scram-
bled for on Easter Monday at the ris-
ing ground called Hare-pie Bank, a
quarter of mile south of the village.
Usually pies of mutton, veal and bacon
are substituted for the hare.
The procession is headed by two
men, who carry two sacks containing
the pies. After them come three men
abreast, each bearing aloft a bottle.
Two of these are filled with beer; they
are wooden bottles. iron-hooped, with
a hole from which to drink. The third
bottle is a dummy, and, of course, emp
ty. Occasionally hare is carried in
a sitting posture, mounted on the top
of pole.
The procession increases greatly in
numbers as it approaches. Hare-pin
Bank, where the pies, which are al
ready cut up, are pitched out of the
sack and scrambled for. The specta-
tors amuse themselves by throwing the
contents of the pies at each other.
Then follows the Hallaton bottle-kick-
ing.
One of the large bottles containing
ale is thrown into the circular hollow
on the mound, and the melbourne
men" try to wrest it from the Halla-
tonian grasp. A fierce contest then en-
sues, in comparison with which a foot
ball scrimmage is mere child's play.
The Hallatonians strive to kick the
bottle to their boundary-line over the
brook adjoining the village, while their
opponents endeavor to convey it to-
ward the Melbourne boundary. The
yictors of course claim the contents OF
the bottle.
The dummy" is then fought for with
undated zest, for the Hallaton people
boast that this has never been wrested
from them. The third bottle is taken
in triumph to the market-cross, and
its contents drunk with accustomed
honors. The bottles are carefully kept
and those now in use have done duty
for more than thirty years.

A Poultry Talk.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review Stem
ographic Report of Illinois Round up In
stitution, held at Champaign. Feb. 21-2s.)
The poultry interests of Illinois were
set forth by Hon. H. S. Griffith. who
said in part:
Uniformity of size and color of
meat is highly preferred in shipments
for market. Let your flock of poultry
be uniform for the same reasons that
you seek uniformity in your herd of
cattle or swine. Do not condemn a va
riety because some INSCRIPTIONS fell
low succeeded in getting off on you
some unrepresentative specimens at
high prices. Buy your breeding stock
of a fancier. a real live. wide-awake
chicken crank. do not mean that sort
of fancier who fancies fowls because
they bring fancy prices, but real low
er of fowls. man who observes the
good qualities of certain strain, and
goes to work to develop that strain.
After a breed has been chosen, the
stock secured and the farmer has fully
decided to go into poultry raising, a
few observations will not be out of
pldCC. Il lloI, do " ohCllCl anu u,
From my observations at the different
farms upon which l have seen poultry
/ believe this is the essential thing in
starting; fowls must have shelter from
rain and storm. They cannot stand the
winter. The shelter should be made so
tight that they are free from drafts.
They are tender in the matter of con-
tracing colds. In regard to sanitary
conditions, / think the cause of more
failures than anything else, and all the
diseases we have among our fowls may
be traced back to lack of good sani-
tary conditions. Filth breeds vermin,
and vermin is the source of nine
tenths OF the disease that carries off
our poultry. The keeping clean of
poultry houses is very important
thing. Many times the young chicks
are kept in the same coops until they
are weaned and put into the trees. They
will acquire vermin and come out
weak.
In the matter of feeding on the farm
many times the poultry are allowed to
forage. and they find plenty of food,
but it does not come in the proper way
nor is it of the proper kind. They
should be fed what suits them at that
age. think young chicks on a farm
are usually starved. They have plenty
of food in a general way, but of food
suiting them they do not get enough,
and they come up starved until they
get whole corn, and then they get more
than they need. In conclusion, want
to say that If the Illinois farm is to
be preserved in all its fertility. more
fowls should be raised, and the pro-
ducts should be more varied. More
land should be devoted to vegetables,
and the delicious berries and larger
fruits; more honey should be produced
and more fowls, as well as the heavier
products, for which our state is known.

A mistake in mating means a great
deal. 1t Is like farmer planting poor
seed corn and in the fall being re-
warded for his seasons work by nub-
bings, writes T, #. Rigg in American
Poultry Journal. The most common
mistake in mating pens is putting in
too many females. This is especially
true OF the beginner who has but one
pen. He has raised Is to 20 pullets
from two or three sittings Of eggs pur-
chased of a reliable breeder. The birds
are an even lot in appearance, and he
takes it for granted all will make good
breeders. Here is where he makes a
great mistake. He should critically
examine each female, after selecting
the male bird. He should take only
the very best of these, and If he finds
but three or four which fulfill the re-
Quirements, these and these alone
should be used in the breeding pens.
BY so doing he will raise stock supe-
rior to that he would secure by sim
ply putting in the pen as many fe-
males as the male can care for regard
less of fitness. In the fall he will
have uniform and valuable lot of
chicks, with but few culls. He can
give these chicks better care during
the summer than he could give three
or -FOUR times the number. like to
breed from nature birds, but as all our
birds must be pullets or cockerels be-
fore they are matrons and sires we
must use them very often the first
year. If possible mate pullets to two
or three year old cock. In such male
bird we have known quality, for most
defects in bird come out at the time
OF the first moulting and surely at the
second moulting. Two-year-old hens
mated to cockerel is a most satisfac-
tory and successful mating. We all
learn by experience that chicks from
hens are more vigorous than chicks
from pullets. Remember that in a
marked degree like produces like
Do not put fowl into your breeding
pen that is seriously defective in any
point. Do not make a mistake In
supposing that an extra fine male will
overcome serious defects in his mates
1t takes a strong point in either parent
to overcome even weak one in the
other parent. The male bird may be
half the pen, but he is not, and car
not be more. AS stated, keep the fe
males down in number, looking tt
quality only. Select the very best male
bird you have and choose the females
as nearly like him as possible, instead
of balancing defects and merit ant
putting in any large number OF fe
males. This thing of balancing de
fects and merit and expecting a pei
containing a large nun Der of female
of only ordinary quality to give us
lot of extra fine stock is a delusion ant

stables and ventilation do not neces-
sarily prevent infection. The tuber-

cal, and it is not injurious to the health
of sound animal. With those that

been recent or is of limited extent, and
it may aid tendency to recover In
other cases. The author is of the opin-

made a condition of the granting OF

be used, and calves from tuberculous
mothers should be reared upon milk
