The Growing Season.

Chicken do not all grow equally
we'll. A hatch from an incubator
even If all of the same breed and
strain, usually do not grow equally.
This cannot be exactly explained.
1t is true they should all grow alike,
and when they do not there is a
fault somewhere. 1t can be traced
generally to the simple fact that the
larger and stronger chickens are the
hogs of the brood, and get by nature
of their strength and size a better
show at the feed board, thus crowd
ing the weaker specimens to one
side. The remedy for this trouble
is to separate the chickens of even
size and put them by themselves,
aud those of undersize by them
selves. Thus each lot will get the
same chance. 1t will surprise any
one who has never tried this to see
how rapidly both lots will improve.
1t is at this time in the summer
that one notices such little things.
After chickens pass what is called
the danger period, which is usually
five or six weeks from hatch, they
are very apt to grow up, and their
growth is rapid. They seem then to
have formed their constitutions, and
are ready to be forced with as much
food as they can possibly stand. 1t
must be borne in mind that exercise
is as necessary to growth and devel-
Opment as feed-In fact, until the
frame Is formed, food is an injury il
il be given for fattening purposes.
Once the frame is on the road to de-
velopment, then food can be given
consistent with this development.
There is nothing that will throw a
chicken of his legs, or, in other
words, make it top heavy or leg
weak, so quickly as an all-coTn or
all-sOrn meal feed. Corn fed thus is
not a frame-but, on the contrary, a

fat-forming food. The result, in APP
pearance, is large bodies and spread
apart legs, or legs too weak to hold
up the over developed bodies. Corn
feed, however, will produce less in
jury if a great deal of exercise is al
lowed. lhis amount may be deter
mined by close observance of the
action of hen with her brood. 1t
will be found that chicks with their
natural mother exercise almost con-
tinuousl y from daylight to dark.
AS rule, farmers and others who
let the hen take entire charge of
her brood, feed them short. they
throw handful or 20 of feed twice
and sometimes three times daily.
The hen takes liberal dose and the
chicks get what is left, which is
hardly ever half enough. Chickens
should be fed all they can eat up
clean, no matter whether they are
raised by natural or artificial meth
DDS. Brooder chicks are generally fed
twice as much as chicks running
with their mother; the difference is
the former do not get half as much
exercise as the latter. Equalize the
feed and exercise and We shall have
rapid growth and strong develop
ment.-Country Gentleman.

Poultry.

A hen will wrestle for a month
trying to hatch chick from a glass
egg, but yet she is no worse than the
woman who will pay two car fares
to buy an article for 80 cents when
it can be had next door for one dol
lar.
AS an investment the hen ranks
with the best, and the fact that the
stock is always in demand, the
shares are accessible to those whose
means are limited and the dividends
are declared with regularity, make
her a leading and favorite stock in
the markets of the world, for the
poor man as we'll as the rich.
AS hens spend nearly half their
time on the perches, see that they
are comfortable and free of vermin.
Don't have them too high. Don't
have the poles smaller than two
inches in diameter or width. Three
inches makes good width for a
perch Have them firm, but not
nailed in place; they can then be
taken out and cleaned. Don't for
get to give them good coating of

Sending Chickens to Market.

The eye is the first thing that
must be pleased when the purchase
goes to market. TO do this should
be the study of every one who is
placing his stores on sale. Place
two articles side by side both of the
same quality, but one having more
inviting appearance than the other,
and see which goes first. The same
rule will apply to poultry sent to
market, and care should be taken to
have it reach market in the best
possible manner. When live fowls
are sent they should be graded, and
those being most uniform in size
and color should be sent together.
A promiscuous lot of chickens of all
colors and sizes cooped together will
not bring as good prices as when
they are cooped separate, the best
ones not bringing any more than the
poorest ones. The coops contain
ing the best chickens are always the
first to be sold and the price obtained
for them is usually from one-half to
one cent per pound more, which is
quite an item on large flock

We believe we are safe in saying
that a hen can be fed for eggs as a
milk COW can be fed for milk. If the
the butcher, he does not feed her as
he does when he wants large sup
ply of milk from her. The hen that
is being fed Tor the butcher is not
fed the same food that is given the
hen which is to contribute to the
egg basket in the pantry. Most
farmers keep hens for eggs they lay
and they would like to have them
lay the year round If they would
only do so. They do not always do
this, however, on every farm, though
some farmers manage to sell a few
eggs the year round.
A great deal is in the feed which
is given fowls, and in the winter
time they must be kept warm. Corn
is found in abundance on almost
every farm and it is given the fowls
in a thoughtless way to assist them
in laying. 1t assists in the wrong
direction as a rule. The hen will
eat heartily of corn, settle down in
some shady place and lay on fat,
and she is liable to be more satisfied
with laying on fat rather than lay
ing eggs. Oats have been tried az a
food for the production of eggs ard
are said to be excellent. Katfir
corn and sorghum seed are also con-
sidered good for eggs. Feed little
corn when eggs are desired; feed
plenty of it to the fowl that is being
fattened for the market.-Poultry

How is this for the intelligent
farmer, who il considered the ma
TONS backbone?h asks the Pennsyl-
vania Farmer. A statistician of the
Maryland Experiment Station inves-
tigated the cost of keep per head of
the milk COWS in some of the best
counties of the State; also the aver
age profit per head of each cow. He
found that these worthless scrubs
which the farmers were feeding
apparently for the fun of it made "A
loss of 500 per cow to the owners.
How long would a merchant, manu-
facturer or banker run a business at
such loss? Yet half the old moss
backs who are miscalled farmers in
this country do business on exactly
that system. Then they make an
awful poor mouth and says the ways
of Providence are past finding out,
and they try to be resigned to the
will of the Lord, who sees fit to af-
tiict them with poverty. The Lord
never afflicted any human being
with poverty. 1t is more often caused
by the individuals own laziness or
bad management than anything else

In realizing the most profit in rails
ing for market it is very essential
that young turkeys be pushed from
the start. 1t is an item to have them
fully ready for market in good sea-
son and to have them weigh as much
as possible.
While it is best for their health
and Ihrift to give them a free range
as soon as they have made suffici-
ent growth Tn permit, at the same
time IL is best to continue to feed
well, at least during the early part of
the season. 1t is a good plan, usual

An English paper says that brisk
trade in Australian horses is antici-
pated in the Philippines. The Amer
leans offer good prices for animals

traffic in this direction is possible.
A member of New York firm is on
his way home from Manila, and
mentioned to a Sydney horseman
that he would take any number of
ordinary Australian horses, but the
local stock were too small for caval-
ry. Gen. Otis bought 30 for Manila
from an Australian farmer some
time ago, though many hundreds are
required for the use of the American
army in that region.

The sow must be thrifty to pro-
duce thrifty pigs. Feed her on
succulent food. Fresh, cooked or
steamed clover, turnips, potatoes,
beets or other things of like variety,
with a due proportion of grain, will
keep her in just the right condition.
Take good care of the colt for the
first two years; he will help hims elf
afterward, to a great degree, II he
has chance.
Well bred pigs which are kept
growing are ready for the market all
the time, while scrub hogs do not
begin to grow fat until they have
got age on them.
The difference in the price be-
tween well bred stock and scrubs,
when sent to market, ought to be a
sufficient argument to induce any
one to breed the best.

Hopeless of Heaven.

The funeral of Robert G. Ingersoll
furnished the strongest argument
against the hopeless agnostlcism
which he sought to inculcate. The
scene is thus graphically described
/ by the correspondent of the
Chicago Record, writing from
Dobbs Ferry last Tuesday.
"Desolation describes the scene
to night at Walstein, within whose
wall lies the body of Col. Robert G.
IngersOll, agnostic. About his bier
cling three wOmen-his widow and
his two daughters. TO them the
form on the bier is all that is left OF
the father and husband. They have
no hope for future union, no conso
lation in Christian faith, no solace
in religion. The dreariuess, the
utter loneliness, has overpowerd
those whom the great inidel left tC
mourn him, and they have again
refused to surrender to the incinerat-
ing urn the one tangible thing be-
tween them and the eternity of
separation. Therefore the crema-
ton of the body will not take place
until some time Thursday. This in
spite of the fact that the funeral
was held this afternoon. 1t was the
most solemn surrender of the dead.
Strong men declared that nothing
had ever appealed to them so strong
