AMONG THE POULTRY.

Growing birds must be we'll fed or
they will go into the winter very poor
and no eggs will be the result.
Fowls demand special care during
autumn months, and with the best at
tention thus, profits follow during the
winter.
It will pay to select all fowls that
will likely be the most profitable dur
ing the winter and give them special
attention.
Late Matched chicks are not worth
wintering generally, and the best thing
to do with them is to market before
cold weather. ~ -.,---,- - $780, +.
"Well begun is half done," so begin
now to fix up poultry quarters for Win
ter and do not wait until cold weather
is on. Remember YOU want a good
warm poultry house with plenty of
light.
Do not pay Is cents per gallon for
prepared lice killer, but make it your
self at a cost of about rs cents per gal
lon. One pint of crude carbolic acid
added to one gallon of kerosene is equal
to the best of it.
Give the fowls plenty of roosting
space and do not have one sitting on
top of the other. Each fowl should
have room enough so that they do not
more than touch while on the roosts.
Small breeds should not be permitted
to roost with the large breeds, but sep
arate departments should be provided.

OATS AFTER OATS,
How to Maintain the Fertility of Soil
on Farms Where the Condi-
lions Are UnfaVOrable.

All farmers know that oats are an
exhaustive crop, and also one that il
is especially hard to get clover or
grass seeding with. Where winter
grain is not grown, and oats are the
chief small grain grown, one failure to
seed is apt to be followed by others,
until the land becomes so exhausted
that neither oats nor grass can be
grown. Most of these failures to seed
with spring grain come from blowing
the land in early spring, thus turning
up lower strata of soil that has not
been properly mellowed by freezing.
The remedy for this is to fall pillow the
land, leaving it rough, and then so soon
as it is fit to work., cultivate it lightly
and put in the grain and grass seed
before blowing can be done. If frost
freezes the soil an inch or two after the
grain and grass seed are sown, it will
be all the better for both. If the second
crop of oats fails to give a grass and
clover seeding, pillow the stubble in the
fall after the oats are off and SOW wheat
or rye, seeding with grass seed in the
fall and with clover seed in the spring.
This rarely fails to give good grass
catch, and if the season be favorable,
there will be some clover with it, even
on poor, thin soil.-Prairie Farmer.

Goats will eat the plant extensively if
nothing better presents itself, and it
is said that their milk then possesses
all of the venomous properties of the
plant. When applied to the skin the
juice causes redness, itching, pimples
and sometimes gangrene, the effect
often lasting more than week. The
seed taken internally in overdose will
inflame the mouth and stomach, and
cause intense diarrhoea and vomiting.
If the dose is sufficient there will be

WINTERING THE BEES
The Temperature Required Il About
That Which Will Keep Pota.
toes Successfully.

The problem Of wintering is one of
vital Importance. To leave a colony on
the summer stand, exposed to the sud-
den changes and bleak storms of VIM
ter, is not conducive to success, in the
beginning. The careful, successful bee
keeper would as soon think of winter
ing his COW in this manner as his bees,
which under proper care would yield
under the investment equally as much
profit.
There are two means. of successful
wintering. First, packed, on the sum-
mer stand; second, in a well-ventilated
cellar. The first is by far the most Ia
borious, yet it has some advantages.
Cellar win tering is the least expensive;
it is only necessary to keep them in
Egyptian darkness and as quiet as pos
sible, carrying them out on two or
three bright days for fly during the
entire winter. The temperature re-
quired is about that which will keep
potatoes successfully. They remain in
a semi-dormant state and consume but
little.
Most:everyone has his or her favorite
location for the apiary. Some choose
the most shaded point possible. After
experimenting for several years, we
have determined that, in my locality at
least. the most exposed place possible
is prolific of the best results. In the
country between the Missouri river and
the mountains the nights are usually
cool, and we find that the mercury falls
two or three degrees lower in the shade
than on the open ground; that it re-
quires much longer time to warm up
the hive in the shade in the morning
than those not shaded; and, besides
this, the sun comes out so warm in the
morning that often before the colonies
in the shade are warmed up, the sun
has eyaporated great portion of the
nectar.
It is with the bee as with the farm
hand; 3 the fellow who gets out early in
the morning is the one who usually
accomplishes the greatest days work.
In experimenting with the matter of
location we find that the colony located
nearest the shade gathers the least
stores, while those located on the most
exposed ground gather most. One case
in particular was a colony shaded by a
small plum tree. As the tree grew, the
colony produced less stores, until it
barely gathered sufficient to winter it.
self. We moved this colony out into the
sunlight and it went back to it's old rec

No Monopoly in Poultry.

The rapid multiplication of poultry
being so easy the humblest individual
can take advantage of opportunities
and avail himself of the privileges
which cannot be monopolized. It is
the only class of stock that permits
science and knowledge to triumph over
wealth and possession, for monopoly
may seize the best focks in the world;
yet patient industry and careful breed
ing, even in, the hands of the most OBJ
scure and humble, will break down the
walls and open new avenues. The
monopoly that can be exercised in the
poultry business is brains, for every
man, woman and child has the same
privileges and advantages. City people
as well as those living in the country
can have their poultry.-Farm and

MONUMENT TOFAMoUs WOMAN
Romance of the Past and Present Gen.
turtles Is Recnllei-Stolen by In
dinns When u babe,

On May 20 of next year the memorial
monument to Frances Slocum, 1.-THE last
sister of Wyoming" will be unveiled in
the Indian cemetery, ~ miles from Wa
bash, Ind, in which rest the remains of
the woman whose romantic story never
grows tiresome, although told a thou
sand times.
In 1776, three years after the Wyom-
ing massacre in Pennsylvania, Frances
Slocum, then four years old, was car
ried away by the Indians. No trace was
had of the little one until 1850, and il
was not until 1886 that an attempt was
made to find her.
In 1907 Mrs. Slocum, mother of
Frances, died. The five sons and broth
ers never wearied in the search for their
sister. After 80 years of untiring effort
they were rewarded, and then the dis
covery was made by pure accident.
George w. Ewing, an Indian trader,
found the lost one in the valley of the
Wabash. She was, of course, an old
woman, and had become so welded to
theways of the red man that she showed
no emotion whatever at being united
with her family once more. She had
married an Indian, and her daughters
had married Indians and half breeds.
In 1910 when the Miamis were forced
to go west, the government made an ex-
ception in the case of Frances, who,
with her relatives, was permitted to re-
main. She could not bear separation
from her tribe, however, and died in
1S47, after few years of listlessness
and lassitude. Her descendants are
numerous in Indiana and PENNSYLVANIA.

How to Handle Kaffir Fodder.

There is quite difference in opinion
as to the best method of handling Kaffir
fodder when it is planted thickly, and
is to be used for feeding and wintering
stock cattle. In general it is believed
that the fodder should be cut and
placed in small shocks when the grains
have passed from the soft stage and
become firm. The fodder will yet be
green, and if put in large shocks will
spoil, but will be excellent feed if prop
erly shocked. In feeding it when pre-
pared in this way the amount given
should not be more than the cattle will
eat up reasonably clean, if too much is
given they will eat only the heads and
waste a large portion of the fodder

Palace on Wheels

is a somewhat hackneyed term as applied to
railroad trains, but it accurately describes
the Alton Limited, the newly equipped day
trains of the Chicago & Alton r. r. Co.
which were placed in daily service between
Chicago and St. Louis, November Is, 1899.
The equipment consists of standard Chicago
& Alton passenger locomotive; United
States postal car, sixty-six feet in length;
combination passenger and baggage car,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi
cago & Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buff
fet smoking car and Pullman parlor observa-
ton car, each of which is seventy-two feet
six inches in length. The framing of all
these cars is Pullman standard with Empire
decks, wide vestibules, standard steel plat
forms and anti.telescoping device. All of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex-
cept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car, which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are of uniform width, the
Gothic lights above being of the new Pull
man standard. The ornamentation is of spe-
cial design, the color scheme being maroon.
Great care has been used in the selection of
pushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, ETC., are u special
design. 1t is claimed that there has never
been built in America train which has re-
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited An ex-
animation of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim

Hogs Require Some Minerals.

A great many experienced farmers in
the corn belt feel that, independent of
the grain feed, our hogs require some
mineral substance. The following have
now used for over year: Two parts oil
cake meal, four soft coal, four wood
ashes or charcoal, one air-slaked lime.
one salt-the above by measure. I feed
all pigs all of this they will clean up
at one feeding once week. I believe
that this mixture, and the feeding of
other grain besides corn, obviates much
of the bad effect of an entirely corn ra-
ton, and increases size and strength of
bone and muscle, and improves the gen
eral health and vigor of the animals.
