Poultry Talk.

Not only farmers wives but farmers
also, would be pleased il The hen would
lay during the winter months, as many
a "bill' that could be used proitably
in improving the farm is broken to buy
groceries, writes Mrs. II. c. Parker in
Journal of Agriculture The majority
do not realize the care it requires to
have the hens produce eggs during the
winter. There was time when we
wondered why our hens did not lay
through the winter, as they had warm
quarters, all the cold water they could
drink, and plenty of corn. We found
that this was not all they required; a
change of diet was necessary, and hav-
ing tried a mixed ration Of all that is
usually raised on farm, some of the
hens would lay but not all by any
means. We tried giving them grit
meat, and bones regularly with good
results. If there are others whose near
est marketing place is small, and green
bone cannot always be gotten we will
for their benefit tell how we manage.
After butchering we cook all scraps; to
be more explicit, the lungs, kidneys,
snout, hoofs, etc., until perfectly ten
der; after making cheese of the hogs
heads, we save all of the bones, also
the spare ribs, back bones, and so on;
these are fed every other day. We
cook rabbits for them and after boil
ing these scraps, rabbits, and so on,
there will be greasy broth; by stirring
bran into this one will have another
meal of producing food. Hens will
refuse corn any time for green bone or
grit At this time the ashes have to
be removed from the stoves so often,
we sift these occasionally, about twice
a week, and give the hens the charcoal
A close observer will find that there
are several hens in every flock that
will not produce eggs during the win
ter under any conditions. These had
better be disposed of by marketing Or
prepared for food, as they are unprotft-
able and occupy room that is needed
for hens that will produce eggs. 1t is
well not to crowd hens, as a number
comfortably housed will produce more
eggs. Our hennery is inexpensive, but
is comfortable. When our first snow
storm began, we did not wait until

but got them all in as soon as it began
to snow, and at the present writing
the thermometer indicating II degrees
above zero at noon, we do not allow
them outside of the hennery, but open
the door in the laying room. and re-
place it with a screen door so that
they have air, and sunshine. The care
of poultry is not hard work, but their
wants must be attended to regularly
the greater the experience the more
knowledge you gain in regard to them
I think where one has the time to de-
vote to the rearing and marketing of
poultry and eggs, that there is an in
dependence in it. Our hens, being
large, suit us in regard to shape, size
and plumage, but we find that being a
nearly pure breed that they do not lay
so often, or so young-it requires more
time for them to mature; but as eggs
are what we are working for, we will
cross with the Brown Leghorns the
coming spring.

one was thus valentine" to two others,
the one whom he had drawn and the
one to whom he had fallen by lot.
But" observes Samuel Pepys in his
diary, "a man doth pay much more at
tention to the one he had drawn than
to the one to whom he hath fallen
or, in other words, the billets drawn by
the men counted for more than those
drawn by the women. The valentine"
thus paired, showed each other marked
attention. Gifts of jewelry, silks,
gloves and sweetmeats were made.
Nor was the custom confined to young
people. Married men and women and
courtiers were partakers in it, and the
gifts they made to each other were
many times costly. In one of the En-
glish counties, HertfordShire, it was the
custom for the poor children, as gayly
dressed as their scant means would
permit, to march through the towns,
early in the morning, stopping be-
meath the windows here and there, and
singing Good Morrow, Valentine" A
shower of pennies was the usual re-
suit. In Norwich, gifts were sent to
fair ones anonymously.

Barley as Stock Food.-To deter
mine the value of barley as stock food
in a practical way, tests were recently
made by feeding it in comparison with
corn and with wheat. In the feeding
tests with pigs, ground barley did one
half better than unground, and ground
corn did one-f1fth better than unground.
Whole barley gave better results than
whole corn. Ground corn required one
half more food to make a pound OF
growth than ground barley. Ground
barley made one pound of growth
for every 31a pounds of grain
fed, at a cost of but a shade over two
cents per pound, which was better than
any other feed did In steer feeding
tests both corn and wheat surpassed
the barley. In lamb feeding tests there
was scarcely any perceptible difference
in results from corn, wheat and bar
ley. Corn and barley mixed gave bet
ter results than either alone. In every
feeding test bald barley gave better re-
suits than common barley.-Farmer
and Stockbreeder Qondon).

Com petition.

Farmers will never have reason to
fear competition from the producers OF
poultry in large towns or near cities,
when the latter make it their entire
business. The cost of producing both
eggs and flesh must always be greater
under such conditions than they will be
on the farm. On the farm there are
large areas that can be roamed over
by the focks, which will pick UP enough
to make feeding at the pen an unneces-
sary thing during a large part of the
year. Thus, one man tells the Farm
ers' Review, that his wife keeps zoo
Leghorn hens and seldom feeds them.
Her husband runs a threshing machine
and much grain is hauled to his place
for threshing. The waste grain proves
equal to almost the entire support OF
the flock of hens On most farms will
be found some condition akin to this.
The expenses are SO reduced that
good profit can be obtained even when
eggs are low. On the other hand, the
specialist usually has but small area
of land and finds it more profitable to
buy than to raise his grain. He must
always get a good price for his products
# he is to make profit.

FIFTY YEARS HER SENIOR.
MILLIONAIRE BROWN MD HIS
GIRL WIFE.
We're Guests of Honolulu Last Week
Mrs. Brown Formerly Cashier in a
Denver Restaurant.

Millionaire Henry G. Brown OF Dem
yer and his pretty young wife, who
were guests at the Hawaiian Hotel
last week, are most interesting
couple. Their stay in Hawaii was cut
short because Mr.. Brown found it ne
cessary TO return to the States to at
tend to some important business mat
tiers. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Brown were
so delighted with what they saw Of
Honolulu and its surroundings. de-
spite the dsagreeable weather. that
they have resolved TO pay the Islands
another visit in the near future.
Mr.. Brown is past seventy years of
age. and is fifty years his wife's Sc
nior. He has led most useful life
and during his day has made and lost
several fortunes. Today he owns the
magnificent Brown Palace Hotel in
Denver. rs well as a vast amount of
real estate and mining securities. He
is considered one of the foremost men
of Colorado.
Mr.. Brown has been married three
times. His first two wives died, and
less than two years ago he began
counting the present Mrs. Brown,
who was then cashier i'm a Denver
restaurant. Mr.. Prown married
against the wishes of his children,
who are prominent in Denver society
circles.
Notwithstanding the predictions of
friends that Mr.. Brown and his girl
wife would not live together for six
months, they are apparently very hap
py and contented. and will soon ce1e-
brate their second marriage annivcr-
