! Other things being equal the better
the feeding and care the greater the
number of eggs produced.
Pay due attention to health, vigor
symmetry and plumage and you can
mate to secure any desired result
Feeding too much stimulating food
or giving too much animal food Is Of
ten the cause OF blood spots on the
eggs.
As hot weather comes on more care
in giving good ventilation is neces-
sary Pure air for the fowls to
breathe is an essential item in main
tanning good health and from this
time on good ventilation Is very nec-
essary. Direct drafts must be avoided
as fully as possible as this tends to in
duce colds. Slated or screened doors
are best as they admit the air freely
and at the same time are protec-
ton against marauders.
1t is never good plan to allow
chickens to roost out of doors, neither
is it a good plan when It can be avoid
ed to have them crowded in their
quarters especially during the sum
mer. All things considered one OF the
best plans of management is to build
a cheap shed especially as a roosting
place until such time or the sur
plus fowls are marketed Where rea-
sonably good success is attained in
Matching and raising fowls at this
time there is often surplus or rather
more than the quarters can well ac-
commodate but as soon as sufficiently
grown a good portion Of these will be
marketed so that the extra sum will
only be needed for short time. Al
most any kind Of shelter is better
than compelling them to roost In
trees or on fences.
All during May the Matching may
be kept up, but 1t Is rarely a good
plan TO continue Matching or OF least
setting hens any later than the latter
part OF this month. Chickens and in
fact young poultry Of all kind unless
we except guineas ought to be hatch
ed sufficiently early to get reasonably
well started to growing before hot
dry weather. With guineas there Is
no special object to be gained by
hatching before June. With other
fowls however they will not revive
well during very warm weather and
especially II very small 1t will pay
to push the Matching now as the risk
Of loss Is materially lessened and with
little care in feeding q rapid growth
can be received at low cost. But
usually unless comfortable quarters
above me average is provided there is
no special gain in trying to hatch out
after the early part Of June 50 that
no hens should be set later than the
latter part Of May.-Spirit Of the

POULTRY NOTES.

Lice will increase very fast now.
Pekin ducks can be raised with very
little water.
In applying whitewash try to fill
ell OF the cracks.
Rough legs in fowl are q pretty
sure sign OF age.
With no stock is fresh air more i'm
portant than poultry.
When given a free range one male
70 dozen hens Is sufficient
While lime Is good for the hens 1t
should not be mixed with the food
Many make the mistake Of allowing
TOO many fowls to run and roost to
gether.
The food OF all cage birds should be
generous but not overheating or too
fattening.
No breed Of pigeons has 80 many
varieties and sub varieties as the tum-
bier pigeons.
Always feed growing fowls good
grain and meal, 1t will be found the
cheapest in the end
To know whether poultry is profit
able or not keep an account Of what u
consumed as well as sold.

DAYS THAT ARE no MORE.

Tears, idle tears, I know not what
they mean,
Tears from the depth Of some divine
despair
Rise in the heart and gather to the
eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn fields,
And thinking Of the days that are no
more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering
on sail,
That brings our friends up from the
underworld.
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the
verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no
more.
All, said and strange as in dark
summer dawns
The earliest pipe of half-awaken'd
birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The easement slowly grows a glim-
mering square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are
no more.
Dear as remembered kisses after
death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy
feign'd
On lips that are for others; deep as
love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all
regret;
Oh, death in life! the days that. are no
more.
Alfred Tennyson.

cation be deferred "a hours longer,
urging as reason that if the issue
had to be met by their union last night
there might be trouble about observ--
ing their contract obligations with the
publishers. They were very sanguine
that their union would keep to its con-.
tract and not quit because of the stereo-
typers' strike, but wished an opportuni-
~ to canvass and discuss the matter
to-day. The publishers assert that,
stereotypers are coming into the city
from various points in very gratifying
numbers and are confident that they.
will be well equipped for issuing pa.

The "wave of prosperity" is hit.
ting New England mighty hard
A large number of the cotton fac
tories have shut down because the
employees refused to work for wages
that was not sufficient to keep them
from actual starvation. At Canton
Ohio, last week 700 cigar makers
wages were cut down from So q
thousand to Sc, and no single en-.
ploye allowed to make over one
thousand week. Yet these same
half-starved workingmen paraded
the streets the day after Mckinley
was counted in, with banners flying
on which was printed: "Our wages
will be increased" If the wave
continues to roll every industry in
the east will be submerged, and the
silver producing states will not be
the only ones where deserted viii
lagos can be found.
