to hold up the government and compel it
to pay inordinate and extraordinary prices
for ships to be used to transport troops to
the Philippines. Perkins of California de-

that the vessel owners of San Francisco
had placed their ships at the disposal of
the government at a rate fully so per cent
less than they usually received for them.

verts or beginners in poultry raising,

observed TO secure success. Here are
some OF the things to do or not 10 do:
1. Avoid providing.

8. Keep brood coops clean and dry.
WhiteWash brood coops several times
during the season-inside and out.
Turn coops up and let the sun shine in
them when the hen is out with broods.
Move coops TO fresh ground every day
or two.
9. Do not allow the fowls Co run
around among the 'oung broods.
2. Provide shR0e lie there ID not plenty

8. Keep the broOds tame; never

9. Do mot try Go doctor chicks or

reasons producing such troubles, and

There are many small farms of 5 to
so acres, with a house and other build
ings, that i'm these times can be pur
chased very cheaply, and an outlay OF
q few hundred dollars more would
erect suitable buildingsa and stock them
with poultry. Teno or Is acres of oats,
buckWheat, cor and perhaps other
grains, with cut clover, milk, etc.
would furnish fooc for over 800 fowls
Two or three cows could be kept and
fruit and vegetables grown for family
use. For a man and family Of children
who can assist in caring for the poul-
try, and who has some capital, there
seems TO be a better Prospect to make
q living than in dairying or other kinds
OF farming at the present time. Nearly
every business is full and pushed to the
utmost, and because of the intense
competition and large production the
margins are growing smaller. n we
engage in a business that requires skill
and the close attention TO details that
many persons are not willing TO give

of the general competition and make.

SUMMER Cars OF COLTS.

Horses are beginning TO be worth
giving good attention again and the
hrst summer Of the colt counts for O
great deal, says Farmers Voice. Train
the colt TO the halter from the time it
ia q day old. There ia never O time
when it is so easily halter broken as
when very young. Put q headstall on
it and let it be worn all the time, taking
off the strap nights AID when it is i'm
pasture with its dam.
Never let q colt follow j. dam with
out being tied to her. On the road
this saves q lot of trouble for the owner
and a great deal Of worrying on the
part OF the dam. The colt will soon
learn TO lead at her side without trouble.
When working the dam keep the
colt tied 60 the fence i'm the shade il
possible, allowing it to suck between
breakfast and dinner and dinner and
supper time, when the mare ia cool.
Never let q colt suck when it's dam is
heated from exercise.
Fix q feed box I'm the stall for the
colt where it can learn Go eat at an
early age and then feed it all it will eat
of bran or oats or oats and corn ground
together. Don't be satisfied with allow
ing it to get what it can steal from it's
dam, but give it q meal for itself where
the dam cannot get it. If the stall in
not large enough TO do this it ia too
small and should be made larger. A
mare and colt should be kept loose I'm
O box stall when i'm the stable, where
other horses cannot I jlre the colt.
The best place for both during the sum
mer nights ia ON good pasture. Pas
ture causes the mare TO give plenty of
milk and is @ good feed for the colt.
