a charm that Impressed everybody.
Both companies Of cadets showed eS-

arms, and It was not an easy matter for
the Judges, Messrs. Joseph Naylor and
Charles Dobblns and Rev. Joseph

but when they decided that Company
B. commanded by Captain Speyer, was
the winner, there were no dissenting
voices. The presentation OF a beauti-

Poultry Notes.

Good laying hens are neither hum
CRY nor too fat.
The large breeds, as rule are the
best for the table.
Reduce the winter stock of poultry
to layers as much as possible.
Use carbolic acid occasionally in
the dust bath, to destroy the lice.
The best plan is to give good va
riety of both cooked and dry food.
Paralysis in chickens is often due
to overlooking and lack of exercise.
Wheat, corn and buckwhat fed to
fattening fowls will whiten the flesh.
1t is often a good plan to feed corn
on the cob and let the fowls do the
shelling.
SO far as possible in feeding, scatter
the grain so that the whole flock will
hold an equal chance.
Well fed fowls rarely become over
fat when they are compelled to scratch
among litter for their grain.
The winter care of fowls is an easier
matter than the summer because
there is less liability of disease.
Hens will not lay when their combs
are frosted This is one reason why
warm, dry quarters are necessary.
Never try to stimulate egg produc-
tion with irritating condiments, as
they usually do more harm than good.
Hardness, vitality and vigor of
constitution are OF more Importance
in poultry for profit than all other
qualities combined.
1t is unreasonable to expect hens to
lay in winter under adverse condi-
tions. They require more food than
at other times because large per-
centage goes toward supplying ami
NAL heat to keep up their physical
condition.
Poultry in yards would give better
returns than if on range if properly
managed, but to give small flock
the proper attention would cost too
much labor. This is not counted when
the flock is kept for pleasure, but on
the farm the case is different.
It is found that when charcoal is
added to the food of fattening turkeys
they gain more rapidly. When
crowded, portion of the food is IL
able to ferment in the gizZard. Char
coal absorbs gases and relieves acid.

coal the benefits are due.

One of the girl pupils who entered
the school when it opened has had
quite q remarkable record. Having
no previous education and leaving her
really savage home for the first time,
she has demonstrated what education
is doing and will do for the red man.
There is system in nearly all the
Government Indian schools by which
those pupils who are both industrious
and frugal may earn money in the
sewing room, on the farm or IN some
one of the schools other industrial de-
partments. Of course this must be
outside of their regular work. This
young girl, after taking a regular
course as scholar, was judged capa-
BILE of receiving salaried position. In
the course of short time she filled
not one, but several, and worked In
the sewing room besides. Out of her
savings she bought wagon, harness,
team, organ, bedroom set and sew
ing machine, all in view of her pros
pective marriage to young Indian to
whom she was engaged, and when
they were married she took enough
savings with her to build & home
All this was accomplished in three
years time.

In 1892 the "seger" school was
built in Oklahoma Territory, among a
colony Of Cheyennes and Arapahoes,
considered among the widest, most
backward and non-progressive of all
the Indians. Fortunately, says the
Chicago Record, the Superintendent
of the new school-Mr. John Seger-
had already gained their confidence in
another capacity, SO that when they
were asked to put their children Ill
school they said that they would as
soon as they were weaned, And they
carried this out literally.
Many incidents are told illustrating
the splendid work which has already
been accomplished directly and in
directly by the school, for often the
influence in the community is equal
to the actual amount of education
within the school walls.

Hogs in Small Lots.

1t is neither profitable nor always
entirely safe to keep great numbers OF
hogs together. Besides the liability
to disease getting among them, there
is always certainty that the stronger
will crowd the weaker from their feed
ing places, SO that inequality in size
will increase instead of decreasing.
In every litter there are always one or
two weaklings that were born runts,
and unless given better chance than
their fellows, they will always remain
runts. The best way to manage this
is when the pigs are seven or eight
weeks old, take out the stronger ones
and wean them, giving them plenty of
the best food that can be got to make
growth. Then the runts left to suckle
the SOW alone will in two OF three
weeks more take start that may
make them as good as the others, SO
that in later life all can be fed to-
gether. No other feed, without the
sow's milk, will do this, though such
other feed should be given and the
pigs be encouraged to eat all they can
be made to eat.

One of the Deadliest Evils.

The use or misuse of alcoholic liquors is
one of the deadliest evils of the times.
Consumption in the United States in the
fiscal year 1896 was !, ITO, ,379, ,44S gallons, or
16.42 gallons per head of the entire popula-
tion. One gallon per head yearly is of dis
titled spirits. In 1928 the quantity was seven
and a half gallons per head. Four hundred
thousand confirmed drunkards were in the
land, and millions more were in the max
ing. English rumholes no longer advertise
drunkenness for penny, blind drunken
ness for twopence and straw on which to
sleep off debauch for nothing. Moral senti-
ment will not tolerate intoxication in good
society, business circles or responsible
posts of duty. mot tithe of intemper-
ance," DIR. Dorchester declares, 'exists az

Nor is it likely.to devastate as wide an area
In future. The nature Of stimulants and
drugs and their terrible effects upon body
soul, culture, social condition and religion
are better understood than in the past

Providing Winter Cows.

Many farmers who would like to breed
cows so as to have them farrow in the
early fall are unable to do 50, because
it is difficult to get COW which is
giving milk to come in heat at this
season. 1t does not pay to dry off
the COW, in which case she would come
in heat quickly enough, but might be-
come too fat to breed we'll. The bet
ter way is to feed extra with oats,
wheat bran and middlings mixed with
ground rye. IF this rye has got some
ergot in it there will be no trouble
about the COW coming in heat. Rye
in any form has the effect of increasing
prolificacy in all animals that will eat
it. There are many advantages in
having calves dropped in the fall, pro-
vided there are warm quarters for
them the first winter. They will
make the best winter cows, as they
will naturally come in heat when lit
tie more than y, AZ old, and may be
bred then. Spring calves also coming
in heat in the spring make COWS which
will give the bulk of their milk during
the summer, when milk and all dairy
products are cheapest. Boston Guilt

Utilizing Incubator Eggs.

Eggs are expensive food for chick
ems, but when an incubator is used
the clear ones are sometimes given as
food, but usually cooked hard. This
is mistake. The best mode of feed
ing eggs to chickens is to pour boil
ing water on the eggs, beat them, and
thlcken the mess to stiff dough with
corn meal. Fed in this manner con-
stipation will be avoided, but they
should not be used oftener than every
other day, giving them at night.
Hard boiled eggs are excellent, but
they are usually fed too literally and
cause bowel disease. Farm News.

The Diet of Ostriches.

The omnivorous qualities of the
ostrich have hardly been exaggerated.
It swallows oranges, small turtles,
fowls, kittens and bones. Mr..
Schreiner tells of one swallowing also
a box of peaches, tennis balls, several
yards of fencing wire and half dozen
cartrid es. One followed the work
men and picked up the wire as they
cut it. Most frequently the ostrich
does not follow each dainty separately,
hut collects several in it's throat and
then swallows them all at once. Some
times it is strangled. Its windpipe
is then cut, the obstacle taken out,
and the wound sewed up, when all
goes well again. - Household Words.

The Sex of Eggs.

There are many theories regarding
the Matching of eggs-i. e. the sex.
Some claim that round smooth eggs
will produce pullets; others that the
position of air space has much to do
with the sex, ETC.; but these are
merly theories-not fact in the lot.
One of these theories might seem 10
give good results one season, only to
be reversed the next.
There is room for much experiment
on this line. The male bird has much
to do with it-cock kerels mated with
two-year old hens and cocks mated
with yearling hens. In our opinion
the individuality of the male bird is
all important. The stronger this in
dividuality the more male birds will
be the result. In special matings or
double matings for show birds this
has often been commented upon. We
believe that this question will never
be settled, for the simple reason that
hens have as strong individual quail
ties as cocks, and while strong cock
might influence majority Of his get,
yet the minority, due to strong indiv-
idual hens, will always be present.
While experiments along this line will
be profitable, yet it is idle for the
average poultrymen to thus employ
himself. We do not believe we will
ever be able to mate SO as to produce
either all pullets or all cockerels. =

A Man With n .Bias. >,

The full court OF Victoria has decided
that man with 'bias" against the liquor
traffic cannot sit on the Licensing Bench.
For the same reason, then, We suppose
that a man with "bias" against burglary
or murder should not be allowed to sit in
the Supreme Court, as the proceedings of
the Supreme Court should certainly be kept
as free from suspicion as the proceedings
Of the Licensing Court.
But il the teetotaler is barred from sit
ting on the Licensing Board by reason of
his ''bias" against drink, must not the
drinker be barred by reason of his ''bias
in its favor, as u moments reflection will
show that the man who likes his liquor
and takes it every day, whether he is Su-
preme Court Judge, Licensing magis-
trate or an ordinary citizen, is necessarily
prejudiced in its favor.
II these men with an opinion either for
or against the drink are barred from sit
ting on the bench who then will occupy
that seat? Idiots! Idiots only!-National

Herding sheep Good for consumpt:ves


Another class of men who watch
sheep are those who do it for their
health Dozens of men claim to have
been cured of consumption simply by
putting in several months at watching
sheep. The work gives what is most
required in the deadly disease-plenty
of fresh air, moderate exercise, and
employment that is not wearing on the
brain, but is still enough to keep it
occupied and prevent nervousness.
OF course, if man has plenty of
money, he can get these without herd
ing sheep, but there are many men
who need them badly who have no
money, and all who have taken advan-
tage of this knowledge have surely
been benefited. A number of men
who have taken up sheep herding
have become so fascinated with it that
they have stuck to it long after they
got over the trouble. le.-ProvIdence

Corn Cobs for Kindling.

Corn cobs are often used for kind
ling fires. But while they light easily,
the cob being solid does not create a
draught of air and the fire soon goes
out. Finely split kindling is much
better, as it gives more heat, and thus
sets fire to the heavier wood. But if
dipped in kerosene and placed under
the wood. the cob will furnish heat
enough to light dry wood in large
pieces without using any other kind
ling. 1t is the only wayin which kero-
seue oil can be used with safety in
lighting fires.

Mn!

And after all these years, must say
one of the greatest sources OF pleasure
has been in clearing land OF stones
and bushes, and increasing its pro-
duction fourfold. I we'll remember
the pleasure given me by the first
crop of hay taken from q nine-acre
field of "a good two-horse loads, this
from rough hilltop pasture without
commercial fertilizer, and it is to-
day productive field, adding much
to the beauty of the landscape. This
is but one of number of fields that
have responded beautifully to the ap-
plication of homemade fertilizers, L
recollect one crop of corn producing
over 200 bushel of ears per acre with
homemade fertilizer, with very little
phosphate applied in the hill and
clover turned under.
For composing manure, 1 have
found nothing equal to dry soil, often
taken from the roadside, where it has
washed from the road bed, and is OF
little value to use again as road ma
terial A friend of mine made prac-
tice of storing large quantity in the
dry season and using it as an absor-
bent behind his COWS during the stab
ling season. The results were two
heavy crops of grass and rowen in one
season.
I use horse manure, sawdust and
dry waste material in the trenches
behind the cows, as absorbents of the
urine. This greatly increases the
quantity of manure, with good results.
The live farmer who enjoys his calling
with eyes open, will discover sources
of supply to increase the manure pile
in fallen leaves, in the wild ferns in
pastures, in swamp grass to be gath
cred and used for bedding for cattle,
horses and swine Much fertilizer is
lost by allowing the waste from farm
building to run in the same channels
year after year, which should be
turned in new channels, thus enrich
ing new parts of the fields. New
