PULLETS AND HENS.
Why 1t Is the More Profitable Plan to
Retain the Layers just AS
Long as Possible.

The value of thing consists not only
of its material, but of it's capacity to
produce. The advocates of pullets in
place of hens claim that the hen can
be sold in market, which sum they place
to the credit of the hen. The egg, the
flesh on the carcass and the chicks
raised by hen are supposed to be what
her owner receives. But where is the
pullet that is to take her place when the
pullet must be "hatched and raised"
and that is an expense that is not found
in the estimate when the advice is given
to replace the hens with early pullets.
1t is costly to raise the layers every
year. For instance, let us suppose that
it costs one dollar to raise chick
from the egg until it begins layin, to
say nothing of the time lost. If the
pullet is kept laying but one year she
monopolizes the entire sum of one dol
lar, and must lay dollars worth of
eggs before she can begin to give a
profit over her first cost, and she must
also be supported while she is doing so.
If she is kept two years the first cost
of raising her is so cents year. II
kept four years her annual cost for ex-
penses the first year (before she began
to lay) is 25 cents year. Hence, the
longer she is retained as a layer the
smaller the cost of the pullet. Then it
must be considered that if one has 100
hens and is raising 100 pullets to take
their places, he must provide room for
200, although he really has but 100
layers. 1t is the cheaper plan to retain
the hens as long as possible, for no mat
ter how much more valuable the pullet
may be, you must first raise your pullet.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

The nonsitters are the best egg pro-

In egg production lies the CHIEF
source of profit in poultry.
Fresh laid eggs will hatch little
sooner than those laid some time.
After the young poultry are Matched

Chicks in healthy condition should

Linseed meal brightens the plumage

1t is usual for some breeds to moult
lighter each year, and this is someti
called a defect.
All the coops should be shifted when
they have no wood floors, or cleaned
out every few days.
Sulphur for the nests, whitewash for
the houses, kerosene for the perches,
exercise, pure air and variety of food
for the fowls.
The reason why the hen that steals
her nest always matches well is that she
is not too fat, and every egg has the
same vitality.
The principal advantage in board
floors in the poultry house is that it
avoids dampness. 1t should be covered
with hay, straw or leaves.--St. Louis

The Plant and the Soil.

Each plant has its own requirement Is
Of water and heat. Wheat, oats and
tame grasses require soil that will
retain 30 to 25 per cent. of its own
weight of water and medium temper
ature for their best development. This
means finetextured soil, well settled
below the surface. Corn and the sor-
ghums do best on a moisture content of
16 to 20 per cent. and high tempera-
ture. Corn roots prefer thoroughly
pulverized soil, not too compact. We
always find the fibrous roots or food
gatherers most abundant where the soil
was well stirred. Potatoes will thrive
on less moisture than corn, but as q
rule good corn soil is good potato soil.

PROTECTING THE EGGS.
1t Can BE Done by Constructing Dark
But Comfortable Nests for
the Laying Hens.

Egg-eating is often encouraged by
light, open nests. An easily made dark
nest is shown in the cut. A half-barrel
or long keg is turned upon its side. A
bit of burlap is tackled over the top of
the front and strip of board at the
bottom. Make the nest in the inner end,
and put in at least two nest eggs. Turn
the opening away from all windows
toward a corner, if Possible-and a
very dark nest will be secured. 1t is an
interesting fact that hens will con-

themselves. Originally very liberal
constitutional monarchy under
which full rights were accorded to
reigners it has been converted by
me OF these foreigners, not into a
republic but into an oligarchy Of
four, an oligarchy promulgated by
fraud and intimidation and main
tanned by force against the will Of
the entire aboriginal population and
of large majority Of the rest. In
the words OF American paper, "the
seizure OF the Hawaiian Islands con-
trary to the wishes of the people
will be a much greater crime than
the forcible retention OF Cuba by
Spain, and yet we are told that both
our dignity and honor require us to
commit this crime against human
liberty"
A scathing comment upon the
situation is to be found in the fact
that the Europeans and Americans
who originally went to Hawaii for
the purpose of converting its people
to Christianity have acquired title
to about l,052,000 acres leaving the
natives only about $4,000. Mr..
Pettigrew of South Dakota drew at
tention to this fact when the ques-
ton was before the Senate in 1884,
Let us hupe," he piously observed,
chat the dominant invaders have
attended to the souls Of the kanakas,
which was the main business OF the
crusade, for they have certainly
paid strict attention to the Incl
dentaI business by getting posses.
sion Of three. quarters OF the fertile
land" 1t is the fact that not only
do the Hawaiians themselves not
wish for annexation but also nearly
nine.tenths Of he white population
are bitterly opposed to it; the only
supporters Of the movement in the
Islands are the members Of the
Government who desire to enrich a
few men by the sale Of private lands
around Pearl Harbor, and also the
members Of the Sugar Ring.
