Poultry Notes

Poultry raising has at last begun to
be recognized by farmers as being a
prominent feature of agriculture. The
increasing demand for all products OF
the poultry farm. even in the bad
times, has demonstrated that the hen
is mighty as a commercial factor. The
establishments that are manufacturing
incubators are finding their trade ever
expanding. The demand for early
chicks among the hotels and restau-
rants is increasing fast, for the very
reason that our cities are increasing
fast in population.
II Is believed that many chicks In
tncubators die by reason OF bad air III
the egg chambers. II is necessary that
this air be pure and be frequently
changed. or. what is better, made TO
circulate through the incubator. II Is
said that the embryonic chick Is oxy-
genated; that is. has a supply of oxy-
gen furnished. through pores In the
shell and from the air outside OF the
cell; that there Is constant ex-
change going on OF oxygen from the
cubators are placed in damp, close cell
lars. where there is no circulation OF
air, and II the egg boxes are also closed
SO that there can be no egress and In
gress OF even the impure air OF the
cellar. what can We expect as TO re-
suits of the hatch?
Without doubt many chicks that are
air and OF carbon from the egg. II In
born weakly are so born on account
OF certain conditions surrounding the
Matching period. Without doubt the
trouble is with lack OF vitality in the
egg, out 1t may be AS often due en-
/. tirely to want Of forethought on the
part of the person controlling the
Matching operations. Many a chick Is
ushered into life with poorly oayge-
mated blood. and feels and shows the
weakness for long months. In many
cases the egg has become smeared
with grease or with broken eggs that
Dramatically seal the pores OF the
egg and prevent the free operation OF
the laws OF nature. In the face OF such
obstacles the chicks come out Of the
shells and for time seem like other
and healthier chicks. But sooner or
later their digestion breaks down and
they fall over and die. The poultry
man must expect to have many losses
from such causes. and viii not be able
to avoid them By any means.
Heat Is absolutely necessary for the
development as we'll as the Matching
OF the chick. The hen Is a nicely ar
ranged machine that is automatically
regulated. so far as heat Is concerned.
She gives her chicks always the same
amount OF heat. To leave chicks where
they will be cold for hours at a time
frequently results In death At show
last fall certain incubator company
gave the writer a number OF newborn
chicks to take home and raise by hand
Having no proper apparatus for regu-
lating the heat, 1t was found impossible
to supply steady heat OF the degrees
required, and both chicks succumbed
In a short time. Chicks raised under
the hen In the spring while the weather
Is still cool should be carefully pro-
tected.

The Tulip Tree.-At a meeting in
Illinois Professor Burrill delivered an
interesting lecture on the tulip tree.
which he said was one of the most
wonderful Of the American trees,
reaching often to a height of $50 feet
and sometimes even to height of 1870
feet. 1t frequently rises for 80 feet
without limb. The tree belongs to
the family of Tulipera, and is related
to the little wind-hower and to some
other of our common plants humble in
statue. Back in prehistoric times all
of these find common parent. 1t has
taken immense lapses of time for the
original types to develop into forms so
far removed from each other as the
giant tulip tree and the humble
anemone.

Tho Compost Heap.-Without doubt
much valuable fertility is lost to farms
by the owner not having a compost
heap. 1t is necessary to save the veg
etable manure in moist state. When
the moisture dries out OF manure or
grass or leaves or weeds the fertility
largely departs. For this reason an
earth closet proves effective, but 1t en-
tirely destroys the fertility in the &C
cumulations. The moisture escapes
and takes away all but the ash, which
remains in the form of fine dust. The
compost heap should be in a place
where all vegetable refuse can be
thrown.

Watch the Market.-The importance
OF striving to please customers is not
always fully realized by those market
ing fruit. The consumers wants may
not coincide with your views of what
they should be, but when he is salts
fed you not only make sale but gain
permanent customer. Keep in close
touch with the markets, visiting them
often to find out what people really
want and pay the most for. The pro-
Queer, retailer and consumer should,
as far as possible, understand and trust
each other, remembering that in union
there is strength, and each needs the
others assistance. : Oregon Station

health, and from detection bordering on
desperation to joy and happiness.
DR.. Abbo is from a family who are fam
Gus for their mental faculties in the
study of medicine and the relief of the
sufferngs of those afflicted with disease.
In early life he spent his time under the
study of his father, whose medical repu-
tation was widespread and after entering
one of the best colleges in the country he
determined that upon graduating he should
continue his studies and observations, be-
lieving that there existed some system
of medicine that would prove more potent
and successful in curing the IFS of man
kind, and relieving the distress of the af-
flicted than those in use by the physicians
, of the day.
Such proved to be the fact, and to Abbo
was left the discovery. With these discov-
cries Abbo worked long and studied hard
and not until he had proven by numerous
experiments that he possessed a gift by
which to relieve the agony of pain and
WOO back the health and strength and
sick did he begin his career as a physi-
clan, and such was his success that he
soon acquired the title of Wonder Worker
and was praised, honored and revered
wherever he went and by all whom he
met.

After Journeying for hundreds Of miles
over the barren lands Of that region, suf-
fering agonies Of thirst in the desert and
running many risks, he at length reached

more swift. until finally he was swept

on a large island, inhabited by a number
OF natives who gave him a dug-out ca

Port Darwin, between 800 and 400 miles

travelling forward for two weeks. and
when he believed that he must be close

The natives welcomed them back with
every sign of delight and De Rougemont
was careful not to explain to them that
his return was involuntary. For a long
time after this bitter disappointment he
remained among his Cambridge gulf
friends, always keeping a sharp lookout
for visiting ships and making several
short exploring expeditions along the
coast, but not attempting another trip
across the continent.
On one occasion while the whole tribe
was in camp some distance from their reg
ular home, a ship was sighted three or
four miles off shore. De Rougemont and
his followers made frantic signals to her.

employed for the relief of the afflicted,
and the cure of the disease.
Abbo has used the same medicines
throughout his practice in all nations of
the world, and the wonderful and start

Added to the discoveries he had made
by his superior knowledge acquired by
years of hard study by which he knew the
human body In it's every detail, and was
familiar with the nature and cause Of
every disease, giving him the envied rep
utation of being the greatest dlagnosh-
clan of the age. Every year of his prac-
tice added to his honors, his cures seemed

GROWING PRACTICE.
Since Abbo opened his office in Savan-
nah his practice has been continually on
the increase.
This would not be the case unless the
public had discovered the genius with
which he is endowed. Lincoln said that
all people could not be fooled all of the
time. Time has told its tale in this in

There will be no performances Of the
Swiss passion play at Selzach until after
the Paris exposition of 1900, as the man
ayers do not think that enough people
