carry a basin of warm water to the
nest, place the eggs you are uncertain
about in it. If they contain live chick
ems they will move or dance about; if
they float without movement the
chicks are probably dead; if they sink
to the bottom of the dish they are rot
ten. With vigorous, well mated
stock birds, properly fed, provided
with clean shelter and allowed plenty
of exercise, one cannot fail in securing
a good hatch of strong, healthy chicks,
unless the eggs are permitted to be-
come chilled from an improperly made
nest, or from the restlessness of a
fussy hen-The Housekeeper.

White Wyandottes.

The white Wyandotte is a good
sized, blocky bird, especially we'll fur
nhshed with meat in the breast-just
where it is required for table purpos-
es. In addition to this the yellow
skin and white pin feathers make
them a fine market fowl. Being a
small boned fowl, their weight is in
the meat, as compared with fowls of
heavier frame. For broilers and roast
ers they lead, as they are hardy,
c1ricl1s grow fast, and they stand fore
ing we'll. In this particular they gain
a point on the Plymo nth Rocks, which
are very liable to leg weakness during
forcing.
We find with our birds THAT until
the chicks weigh. about a pound or a
pound and half, they grow very few
feathers, their gain being in their
plump bodies. Chicks that grow in this
manner are har+dier and grow faster
than those that exhaust their strength

ly laying at five months. They

are the best layers of their class of
fowls, thus gaining another point on
their nearest competitors, the Ply
mouth Rocks.
By the time the fowls reach the
laying age they should be carefully Sc
lected for next years breeders, quilting
out all birds with single combs, feath-
cred legs, ETC., with the same care that
a fancier would use, for when you are
through breeding next season you can
get a fair price for them from fam
ciers, especially those who are Begin
ming and want good stock at a low
price. The culls, both males and fe-
males, should be httened for the next
two weeks, then sent to market. If,
as should be the case, you have moth
ing but good, pure stock, you can real
lie a good return by selling your sur
plus males as breeders, if you do not
charge too great a price. We have
found that there is a good demand for
white Wyandotte breeding males at
about a dollar and half or two dol
lars.
We do not advise breeding WyAn-
rdotses much over standard weight.
So far as our experience goes, matings
in which the birds we're much over
weight have not given general Salts
faction. \ point of considerable adj
vantage to breeders of limited room is
the fact that the Wyandottes stand
confinement we'll.
We believe that our experience ena-
bles us to assert the white Wyandotte
to be the best all-round fowl.-Relia-

Wheat Bran for Layers.

Feed the hens wheat bran-good,
rich bran, of the kind that makes
your hands look whitish when you
handle it. That's what, here in town,
they call ''country bran;" country
bran, L suppose, because it is pure
wheat bran that has not been re-
ground and all the shorts taken out of
it. The red, falQy wheat bran that
some dealers handle is no good But
the kind mentioned, daimpened a lit
tile, and with some Shelled oats mixed
in, makes a first class food for layers.
1t is a good crop filler that produces
NO evil results. Some people feed it
dry, in shallow boxes, but the hens
like it best when dampened When
ever cook up feed Of any sort for the
hens, wheat bran is used as an absor
bent of the moisture in the vessel.
Take a. beef bone that HAS a little
meat clinging to it, boil it thoroughly
with a potato or two and a few onions,
then stir in wheat bran, letting it get
thoroughly soalded, and then, when
cooled off sufficiently, give it to the
hens, and just watch what feast it
Will be for them. This is prime mix
ture for such breeds as Cochins, Lang
shans and Brahmhs, because it is an
egg stimu1ant, while, at the same time
it doesn't fatten.
Young chickens that are three or
-four weeks old take to the mixture,
too, but it is best to mix in fully one
half corn meal when fed to tne chicks,
so as to give it body enough to pro-
duce flesh and zone. I suppose the
wheat bran alone does that, Ito some
extent, for the hens, but it does not
fa}bten them.-!TeXas Fartm and Ranch.

Matching Chicks.

absolute necessity. 10 secure fertile
eggs the stock birds must be in per-
feet health, the male strong and vigor-
GUS and the hens not too fat. The first
clutches laid are ALWAYS the best,
therefore do not feed breeding hens
for Laying until three or four weeks
before you desire eggs for hatchling.
About the right proportion for mating
up a breeding pen to secure good
results, other things being equal, is
one male to seven or nine hens of the
-Nsiatic (Blrahma, Cochins, etc., and
ten to fifteen hens of the laying
breeds Oeghorns, Hamburgs, etc..
Mate cocks and pullets and cockerels
and hens.
There are many reason why eggs
may hatch poorly Or produce weak
chicks, some of which are: Lack of
s'tl NINA and loss of vigor resulting
from inbreeding; keeping stock birds
too closely confined; allowing the
hens to become too fat; improper
feeding; too many or too few males
for the number of hens; too young Or
too old stock birds Always test the
eggs while Matching and remove all in
fertile ones from the nests. The
eighth day is perhaps the best date
for a beginner to make this test, the
practiced hand can tell the fertile
eggs as early as the fourth day. After
dark take light to the nest room,
put your hand beneath the hen and
carefully lift her from the nest, hold
each egg between the eye and the
light; if the eggs are fertile they will
appear dark all over except perhaps
a small portion toward the top. If
they are unimpregnaited, they will be
translucent, the light passing through
them almost as we'll as if fresh laid.
The early days of incubation are as
critical period as the last days. Too
long an absence from the nest of bid
dy the first five days is frequently the
principal cause of impaired Vitality of
the embryo. or the failure of an i'm
pregnated egg to develop.
Twenty-one days is the usual period
of incubatino for chicks; they may be-
gin to hatch as EARLY as the eighteenth
day (my chickens are often out the
nineteenth day., OR they may run over
to the twenty second Or even the
twenty third day. Chickens should
rarely be helped from their shells, be-
cause it is necessary for their we'll
being that they absorb all the yelk, as
that serves as food for the first TWEEN
ty-four hours after they see light. No
apprehension need be felt if the baby
chicks do not, eat for that length of
time if they are strong, gain their feet
and their downy plumage dries prop
erIy. Picking off the she'll to help an
imprisoned chick is always "a hazard
ous undertaking and should never be
resorted to, unless the egg has been
''hilled'' for long time, in which case
one may give little help with the
greatest caution, Or the tender MEM
br4anes of the skin may become LAGER
ated. IF any blood is perceived stop

not fully matured. IF, on the con-

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, May 1O.-The market NOV
ed up sharply today although at times
considerable irregularity appeared.
Certain large interests were open pur-
chasers of their spectalties and the abb
sorption of some 10000 shares by Lon
don aided the market leaders in push
ing up their favorites.
In the afternoon the rapidity of the
advance induced the covering of large
short lines and commission houses. were
again active purchasers. There was no
furry in the money market, the ruling
rate for call loans being 4 per cent.
Sterling exchange eased off on the
large purchase Of stock for foreign ac-
count. An element in shaping senti-
ment was rumor that the government
report to be issued late today would
show an improvement of several points
over last month. st. Pauls favorable
weekly statement of earnings was
source of strength to the grangers.
The lower range of prices brought
about by yesterdays decline proved at
tractive to many would-be purchasers
and while there was no important news
developments, sentiment was complete
ly reversed today. Stocks which were
the centre of weakness yesterday, no.
tably the Flower specialties were
among the features today, notably
Brooklyn Transit rising 71s and FEEDER

Among the specialties there were
some very pronounced advances, in

was the most pronounced exception to
the general strength. In the fore
noon there was considerable commits

certain professionals to make a drive
at the market but large operators alb
sorbed offerings, two houses collectively
taking about 10000 shares. And this
turned the tide and a steady improve

A report that the trust commission

There was a good rally in yester-
days market. Stocks were bought
well and steadily. The opening was
well above Tuesdays closing prices,
and after testing the market and find
ing that there was strength back Of
the rally, with large operators buying,
the room turned bullish and marked up
values with zest. Some of the indus
trial and other specialties rose sos, and
Tobacco was up IS. Federal Steel rail-
lied Sss, c., B. & Q. ga, and so on.
Keene, Standard Oil and Flower brok
ers were large buyers and some Of the
larger commission houses bought
steadily and heavily all day.
The professional interests supplied
the commission houses freely with
stocks. and succeeded in checking the
upward rush by the end Of the first
hour. The halt, however, was only
temporary, and although Metropolitan

and Brooklyn Transit started down at
a lively rate and the general market
promptly followed. Some Of the spe
cialties received a severe shaking down
during the second hour, notably Sugar,
which gave way to 14312. Manhattan
and the Flower specialties were not
neglected by the bear faction, and
sharp losses were the rule in the rail-
way stocks Trading slackened as the
morning waned, and there was con-
siderable feverishness to the dealings
Some stocks reached the best figures
of the day in the afternoon, particu-
larly Continental Tobacco andAmerican
Tobacco, the latter touching 210, as
compared with 200 at the close Tues
day.
An emphatic increase in activity with
good gains in prices characterized the
Boston market. Trading was broad
and when the advance got started
nearly all specialties participated. The
mining shares were somewhat heavy in
the morning, but they got out of the
rut after the noon hour and made some
brisk gains. Utah rallied from $685. to
41l1, Parrot from 5655 to SO, Arcadian

The lower-priced coppers suffered fur
thar decline, Rhode Island losing /, to
