ing the young birds with =
cooked, mashed food. Some
grain, crushed, and green vege-
tables, preferably onions chopped
fine, are good to mix in with the
mash and are muchs relished by
the youngsters.
Young turkeys should never
be fed raw corn dough. A good
feed for them is made of bread
crum BIS and milk, with a few on
ion tops, chopped fine, and mixed
in the mash. This should be
given to them four or five times
a day. After they are about two
weeks old begin giving them
cracked wheat.
An egg of the extinct bird,
moa, has been found in New Zea-
land. Some idea of it's size may
be gathered from the fact that
mans hat makes perfectly fit
ting egg cup for the curiosity.
The egg, which has been sold
for $500 to an English museum,
is seven inches through and nine
inches long.-Poultry Farmer.

SCREENINGS.

possible.
Laying hens should have meat
or milk.
Ducks for profit must be
pushed rapidly from the start.
Feed growing chicks literally,
avoiding too much corn.
With all kinds of poultry the
early market is the best.
Broken eggs in the nest often
start the hens to eating them.
Poultry converts a good deal
of waste on the farm into value.
Poultry houses that are
cleansed daily need very little
disinfecting.
Eggs at average prices are
among the most nutritious arti-
cles of diet.
Ducks and geese should be
picked regularly as soon as they
quit laying.
Serious loss from lice, verlnin
and disease will follow needless
management.
One of the best feeds for
young turkeys is curd squeezed
dry and crum bling.
Intelligent management will
make the hen source of revenue
the year round.
Get the fowls into the habit of
roaming over the orchard all
through the summer.
For the money invested, poul-
try brings the quickest returns
of anything on the farm.
Poultry can be produced at
less cost than pork, and a better
meat, at least for summer.
If desired to save some of the
best young fowls for breeding
select them and mark them.
Don't try to raise fowls entire
Fly on dry feed. They need
green stuff quite as much as do
cattle and horses.
At this time, especially, with
proper exercise, there is not too
much danger of the fowls getting
too fat.
See that you have a good
drinking fountain filled with
fresh water for the fowls to
drink. 1t will pay you.
Even in a flock of young
thoroughbreds the number that
will come up to the standard of
excellence will be small.
Scatter the grain we'll when
feeding it to hens and chickens.
1t will make them hunt for it and
give all fair chance to get their
share.
Lice Astounding in a flock will
so initiate against the health
that general weakness ensues,
and if allowed to remain for any
length of time death ensues.
We find that our ducks are
very fond of lettuce and the wild
or prickly variety suits them
about as we'll as the cultivated
kinds, so we hunt up basketful
of the weeds for them every day
or two.
1t is better to ward against
vermin by keeping sulphur and
lime in the dust boxes and
nests and the coop disinfected
with kerosene now and then than
to make fight against the host
of these pests after they come in
swarms.
Have on hand always plenty of
potatoes and turnips for supply

The Tigers Practice Hard and Line Up
Ag ainat the Scrubs.


PRINCETON. Sept 24.-Tho first hard football
practice Of the season took place yesterday
when the Tigers lined UP against the scrub for
the first time this season for ten minutes Of
hard play. No effort was made by either tenn
to score. but this method was adopted as the
most convenient for wedding out the worthless
material. All the veteran line men except for
mer Captain Hebrand. who has taken charge
OF the candidates for tackle pending the ar
rival OF Head Coach Lea. were In their
positions. The work OF the back field. which
was composed entirely OF new material. was
watched with interest. Dana. the young giant
from Lawrenceville. was played opposite Mills

the ilrst time yesterday, was given a trial at
Hillebrand's position at righttackle and proved
himself a dangerous opponent Tor Pel who.
up to this time. has been alone In the race for
Geer's former position. Booth at centre was
easily too much for Losey. the freshman from
Lawrencevie who was laid ont few minutes
after the practice began.
OF the new candidates tried in the back field
positions Robinson OF the Cortland Norman
School easily carried of the honors. Beardsley,
tho half back on last years team has been
shifted to end. and from his playing to-day
proved that he will fast become reconciled to
his new position. Charles Young. the old
Cornell player, was on duty as quarter on the
