Judicious Poultry Feeding.

All who raise poultry recognize the
act that it is impossible to give any
ieinite rule for feeding, either as to
quantity OF variety, and that the con-
litions surrounding each individual
lock must be taken into consideration
n supplying ration. 1t is also gen.
,rally recognized that different breeds
equire different courses of treatment
md feeding for the best results.
There are, however, few general
ules which apply to feeding all
breeds. In feeding for egg produc
ion, only sweet feed generally will
produce the proper flavor in an egg,
md consumers of late are quite as par
lcular about the flavor of the eggs as
II other things they consume. The
active Leghorn can stand much more
,orn than the heavy Brahma or the
medium weight Plymouth Rock. In
grain foods all poultrymen should
:ecognize the value of wheat, oats,
corn, barley and split peas fed in a
mixture over any of them fed separ-
ately, for egg production. 1t will be
plainly seen that the question of judi
cious feeding is one that must be reg
ulatel to suit the requirements of
one's flock. If the best results
come from ration that is not gen
orally accepted by poultrymen as the
best never mind, stick to it until you
have good reasons gained from your
own experience to change. Atlanta

Cleanliness in the Dairy.

There are a few points that seem to
be overlooked when you count the
requisite necessities of cleanliness in
regard to milk and butter. 1t is usu-
ally said that the milk pals and crooks
must be scrupulously clean, but there
is another importent item. A man or
woman who milks should have their
hands and nails faultlessly clean
also their clothes should be as neat as
possible-for bacteria and disease
germs multiply where there is the
least chance.
Ii there is place about farm
where cleanliness should be observed,
it is the dairy. Borax kills the germs
which cause the milk to sour-and it
is an excellent purifier and cleaner
where the milk crooks and vessels are
concerned.
The pals and crooks should be
rlnsed once day in borax water to
keep them pure and sweet.
The hands of the mixer should be
washed in borax water every day, and
especially before milking. This SIM
pie practice will keep away mountains
of trouble aud health and hygiene will
prevail.
1t is cheap and cleanIy, and the
churns and tin cans in which milk is
delivered to town customers should
be rinsed out with borax water. 1t
disinfects, and microbes are said to
linger about the stables by myriads,
hence every precaution to pu-ify and
make clean is virtue.
This thought of washing the hands
clean is worthy one, for 1 have seen
men attempt to milk without ever
thinking of washing their hands, and
the pure stream of milk sent through
grimy fingers gave you q distate to the
milk and of all things we eat or drink
that we want dainty, it is milk and
butter Farm, Field and Fireside.

Feeling Pigs in Summer.

Summer is the time to make pork.
Making it in winter requires too much
food to keep up the animal heat. If
hogs have plenty of grass in summer
and about half the corn they will eat,
they will fatten rapidly and my belief
is that three pounds can be made on
less grain than one pound in cold
weather with a hog in a close pen.
The grass is cooling and loosening and
counteracts the feverish properties of
the corn. Hogs will never melt in
summer, however fat, if they can have
access to water and mud to lie in.
Mud is very bad for hogs in cool
weather. 1t absorbs too much animal
heat. Milk is cooling as drink and
almost INDISPENSABLE in raising pips

Farm and Garden Notes.

A light, well drained soil is neces,
sary to successfully grow muskmeTons.
Once month at least every chicken,
old and young, should be thoroughly
powdered.
Every pound of manure that can
possibly be made should be collected
and spread ON the land.
Throops is trouble prevalent with
young pigs and is due to feeding too
much grain and giving too little exer-
else.
Keep the hoe bright by constant
work among the beddedout plants, as
cultivation is to them what food is to
the body.
Be careful to grub out all weeds in
the corners before they go to seed and
thus make you plenty of extra work
next season.
If a spell of dry weather comes, help
out the little moisture the plants OBJ
tain from the dew by the frequent use
OF wateringcan.
The round silo is best, as the great
est capacity is secured with the least
side exposure. A round silo is thus
the most economical.
1t is hardly necessary to urge the
flower grower to keep the weeds down.
Weeds and plants, while often close
neighbors, are not fast friends.
A knapsack sprayer is a necessity on
every fruit and vegetable farm, and its
use will save much time and labor in
combating disease and insects.
Use considerable care in pruning
shrubs during the summer, for while
the operation in many cases is success
full, in others it results disastrously.
In many sections the rust is often
on strawberry plants. This disease
may be controlled to some extent by
moving off the tops of the plants after
fruiting.
Hogs do better if they can get in the
shade during the heated days of sum-
mer. They cannot be harmed by the
chance to get there if they are SO in
clined.
If you want a good garden you must
give it clean culture. Good seed and
care in planting may have given you
good stand, but neglect now will re-
suit in poor crop.
Green cabbage worms succumb to a
powder made of Pyrethrum powder,
one pound, cayenne pepper half pound,
flour one and a half pounds. Apply
with powder gun when the dew is
on,

Our Flag at Cayite.

Ohio claims the honor OF being the
birthplace of the first American to
hoist flag over a captured fort in the
Old World.
On Tuesday, May 8, Lieutenant
Williams landed with his command of
marines from the Baltimore and posted
sentries around the captured navy
yard, which was the first act of pos
session. At four p. m. he hoisted the
first American flag over Cavite. Ser
geant James Grant and Corporal
Joseph Poe hauled the flag up. OF
this glorious event for all America
our young lieutenant modestly but
tenderly writes:
''As 1 stood in front of my little
guard of marines and watched the
colors fly out to the breeze from the
same staff that few days before had
borne the flag of Spain, now humbled
by our little fleet, my feelings were of
wonder how it had all happened, and
of pride that 1 was the one to hoist
the first flag. 1t was the happiest
moment of my life, and I couldn't
keep the tears back" And neither
could the friends who got this message
from the other side of the world

What a Garden is Worth.

The value of good garden is more
than is appreciated. 1t is satisfaction to
all the family, especially to the mother,
who is enabled to get supplies from it
tor the meals she has to prepare. The
man who plants it, too, is proud of a
irst-class garden. In this section,
where the soil is quick to respond to
the influence of heat, moisture, fertil-
izer and cultivation, gardening should
be pleasure.
In laying off the little plot arrange
your rows so as to permit the use of
the cultivator; have long. straight
rows OF vegetables. If you plan to do
all the cultivation with a hoe your
garden will be full of weeds.
Some of our readers may have seen
gardens with weeds higher than mans
head-digging potatoes there was not
easy nor were the tubers large. Not
half of our farmers have enough sorts
in their gardens. Think what value
there woul3 be in having an abundance
of pie plant, lettuce, radishes, peas,
beans, beets, turnips, ,cabbages, onions,
potatoes, sweet corn, squash, cucum-
bers and all the small fruits, tomatoes,
a few apples, peaches and pears. Ii
some one who has such garden, one
acre in extent, will keep an accurate
account of the value of the produce
consumed on the farm and sold in one
season, it will be found that a good
garden goes long way toward the
support Of the family.-The South

The poverty and low state of social
life and civilization of the Spaniards
is -ndexed quite accurately by their
wage rates, states Gunton's Magazine.
For instance, the average weekly pay
of bricklayer in Spain Malaga is
So. so; in the United States S21.18; of
a mason $3.50 in Spain, 32l in the
United States; of a carpenter So. 80 in
Spain, $l4.35 in the United States; of
printers $3.50 in Spain, S1G. A. in the
United States; Of laborers, por-
tiers, etc, 50. Is in Spain, So. So in
the United States. While rents, and
possibly prices Of few native pro-
ducts are lower in Spain than in the
United States, the difference comes
nowhere near equalling the wide dis
parity OF wages. Moreover, in COM
parison OF this sort the quality of the
living must be considered as well as
the nominal cost. Thus lower rents
nearly always imply inferior accom-
modations, and, to the average Span.

veniences in ordinary use here are un-

Indian Canals.

Probably the largest canal in the
world is the Chenab Irrigation Canal
in the northwest provinces of India.
Its breadth is 200 feet, with main
channel some $50 miles long, while
the principal branches have an aggre-
gate length of 1000 miles, and the vii.
lage branches will extend, when com.
pleted, some 1000 miles additional.
But, apart from irrigation, the longest
canal in the world is that which ex.
tends from the frontier of China to ST.
Petersburg, and is 4472 miles in
lenAsh. The Bengal Canal, connect
ing with the river Ganges, is 900
miles long, and in all India there are
$4,000 miles of canals, irrigsting s.
100000 acres.

The population Of Cuba increased
from 7l5, 900 in 1925, to 1851, 400 in
1894. The population is much less
now tlan it was then, owing mainly
to starvation. About sixty-6ye per
cent. of the population IS descended
from the aristocracy and peasantry Of
CASTLE, Audalusia, Catalonia and
other provinces of Spain. Most of
the remainder of the population is
mainly OF African descent. Havana
is about as populous as Washington,

But very little corn and no corn
meal should be fed to young pigs Se-
fore they are four months old. Corn
and raw corn meal cause young pigs
to become costive. Then they will
soon scour. They will begin to rub
against everything they can get at.
Their skin will have red and dry
appearance. A dry, black scurf will
begin to form and the more corn and
meal they eat the poorer they will be-
come. The best thing to do for pig
in this condition is to give him thor
ough washing in warm water or sour
milk, the latter being the best. Coarse
Hour or middlings from rye or wheat,
when made into thin drinking slop
with milk, is the best feed for young
pigs, except bread and milk. Food
has to be fermented before it will di-
gest, and if fed to young pigs before
it is fermented it will overtask their
stomach and spoil them. Lettuce is
good for young pigs. 1t will stop the
scours.
The middlings should be put with
milk at night after feeding has been
done, and allowed to remain in the
milk until morning. Never allow the
swill tub to get quite empty. Always
leave little at the bottom to act as
yeast. The swill should never be
allowed to get stale. Slop feed should
be given often and never more at
time than will be eaten up Stops
will make larger hogs than dry feed.
After the hogs get to be three or four
months old, their food can be made
stronger, but pig will not bear much
strong food until it begins to change
from a pig to hog. Many OF our
farmers do not know the value of
grass as feed for hogs. AT least one
would not think so, when their hogs
of all ages may be seen during the
whole summer in small yards or at
best on very scanty pasture. Farm.
ers who know the real value of such
feed would as soon think of raising
cattle and making milk and butter by
feeding their stock grain alone during
the whole summer as to raise hogs
and make the business profitable
without good supply of grass. Some
men make pork with little or no grass,
but it costs much more and the hogs
are not so healthy. New England

The president and the secretary of
war had a delicate task in selecting
195 men out of 1000 applicants for
appointment as second lieutenants in
the regular army under an act of
Congress providing for changes in the
form of battalion organization. The
selections indicate that the task was
performed with rare discrimination.
Eighty-nine of the men designated
are college graduates, representing
sixty-seven different institutions in
which military instruction is a part of
the curriculum; thirteen are enlisted
men in the Unitel States army, and
the others are serving in various ca
pacities in the volunteer service. The
appointment of college graduates
who have had military training to
serve as junior officers in the regular
army can hardly be called an expert
ment, says the Chicago Times Herald.
for the methods employed by military
instructors in colleges are much the
same rs those at West Point. The
government is thus assured of a high
degree of efficiency on the part of the
new junior officers, who have the ad-
ditional qualifications Of learning and
youthful enthusiasm.

THE STUDENTS CELEBRATION.
weyler Burned in Effigy on the Cam


 pus.
 The celebration of the students Sat urday evening started from the seniors fence about 7:30 o'clock. It was mere- ly result of the desire of a few sen iors to have a good time and had no connection with either the departure of Captain Murray or the report of the action of the senate. At first they marched around the campus singing patriotic songs and cheering. Addi- tions were constantly made to their ranks until they numbered almost five hundred.
 Not content with the campus as a parade ground, they marched down across the green and danced around the f1agpole. Then returning to the campus, they decided to call upon some of the professors. In response to their cheers Professor Hadley was the only one to appear and he refused to speak, saying that he had just had his dinner and that he hoped that they would not require him to spoil it with a speech. Again returning to the campus, they started a huge bonfire, in which they burned Weyler in effigy. Finally tired from their marching and satisfied with the noise they had made, they dis persed.
