Corn for Young Chickens.

Without doubt the very best feed for
a flock Of growing chickens is corn, just
whole corn fed to them in unlimited
quantities. If the chickens have the
range Of the farm they will not eat more
corn than they need, and the more they
can be induced to eat the faster they
will grow. They get enough grass, bugs,
weed and grass seeds when running
about to balance the corn ration, and il
is one Of the best feeds that can be Civ
en- them.
The laying hens should not have so
much corn, so this advice should not be
taken without the hens can be kept
from eating with the growing chickens,
for laying hen fed all the corn she can
eat will soon get too lazy to forage very
much, and in the end will get so fat
that she will be inclined To take a rest
from laying and become an improbable
servant.
All the young poultry thrives on corn
until it has made its full growth. There
is nothing better for young poultry than
sweet corn from the time it gets to be
good roasting ears until tho winter sets
10. While this is being fed tho fowls
will make weight in quite surprising
way, and they are very fond oft. There
is no need to prepare it in any way
They will take care of it if the ears are
husked and thrown to them. If with
the sweet corn a supply of sun flowers
is available the fowls will not only grow
but their plumage will become glossy
and their combs red. and they will be
pictures of health The man who raises
poultry and fails to have n supply Of
sweet corn and sun flower seeds for
them is missing an opportunity to pro-
vide the best feed that can be grown on
the farm

Culture Of the Peach.

A dispatch fIom Easton, Md, to the
Baltimore San, dated September ID,
says:
Henry Rieman, of Hawkworth farm,
Miles River Neck, is Talbot county's
successful peach-grower, never failing
in crop. He has 1900 trees on Is
acres, and this year will sell 1000
baskets. He will easily get a dollar q
basket for them. Two sides of the orch
ard border on the salt water, and the
orchard is SO located that the northwest
winds have clear sweep over it.
Mr.. Rieman says {: ~ attribute my
success in growing peaches to judicious
pruning and persistent and careful cul.
tivation. | prune so as to keep the tree
open in the centre, that the air and sun
light may have full course through it,
and train the trunks high, 80 that the
ground may be plowed and narrowed
close up to the trees. keep the har-
rows going as much as can and when
ever can all through the year. pillow
the orchard every spring as early as
possible and again in the fall if have
the time to take from other farming
operations. The peach tree appreciates
attention aud culture and pays back
we'll for it, Scarlet clover makes good
orchard fertilizer l have never used
commercial fertilizer on the orchard,
but intend to do so uext season. A flock
of sheep is kept in the orchard. The
sheep is fond Of the peach leaf and de-
stroys all the sprouts and shoots that
grow on the tree to its injury. The
sheep keep the trees as clean as q man
could They also eat the wormy peaches
which fall from the trees, destroying the
worms, which would otherwise 60 into
the ground. The orchard now does not
drop many wormy peaches. Some peach
growers keep hogs in their orchards.
They will eat the wormy peaches fast
enough, but they will not destroy the
sprouts, and are a nuisance because they
root up the earth"
Mr.. Rieman says he got most Of his
ideas Of orchard treatment from Mr..
John Masheter, the manager of the
celebrated peach orchard on Poole's
Island, owned by Mr. Chas. g. Homer,
president of the Second National Bank
of Baltimore. There is a peach crop
every year also on Poole's Island. Mr..
Rieman is Baltimorean who bought
Hawkworth and settled there several
wears ago. Orchards in the same neigh

When the little pigs are about four
weeks old see that they have pen that
they can slip away into from the hogs
and have clean trough. Nothing is
better to give them than separator milk
warm from the machine. This will soon
teach them to eat Increase other feed
as they grow older. Always notice that
the feed is eaten up clean before more
is given. BY so doing the strain Of
taking care ofthe pigs is gradually taken
away from the dam. and at eight weeks
old they can take care Of themselves Ind

TROUBLE AHEAD.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Ohicial dis
patches received by one OF the embassies
here from Havana confirm the reports
that the colonial government of the island
is taking hand In shaping the terms on
which the evacuation shall be executed.
This. II is believed here. may develop some
new phase in the situation in Cuba. The
colonial government was established by
Spain shortly before the war broke out.
1t carried out In measure long-pending
plan, giving Cuba home rule by means OF
an autonomous government, but, while In
name autonomous. It was contended by
the insurgent element that genuine home
rule was lacking, and that this colonial
regime was continuance OF Spanish
domination. 1t appears however, that the
colonial authorities are taking a very
active part in the present negotiations,
and that there is more or less cooperation
between them and the Spanish govern,
ment. This creates a eonaltion In which
the United States must deal not only with
Spain, but with those who claim to repre-
sent the Island itself free from Spanish
control.

found to be common practice for the employer
to shut out waitress barmaid from Satur-

where she could. And this practice of the en-
ployers is to shut the mattresses in on Sunday
between the time of closing and opening to make
sure that they secure the proper rest. As TO the
