Use r.ure-pred Roo.ter..

With small flock of is hens, which
should raise during the season a hum
dred chickens easily, the use of full
blood cock of some large breed will add
100 pounds to those hundred chickens
if allowed to grow to maturity. The
extra hundred pounds of flesh will be
laid on without any additional cost of
feeding, for scrub chicken eats as
much as full-blooded one. This gain
can be made by the purchase of a single
good rooster, and should not cost over
three dollars at most.-Guy E. Mitchell,

Some Advice to Shippers.

Don't fail carefully to inspect your
shipment before closing the box. Put
in the memorandum on your own bill
head, or an envelope, showing the count
and other data. Keep duplicate your
self, and thereby save much annoy
ance and frequently loss. Don't chase
off into new market with untried peo-
pie just because of a possible temporary
advantage. Nine times out of ten you
will lose. Keep in touch with good
house in several markets, and use judg-
ment in shipping to any of'them. Watch
the reports and forecasts, and then al
low for weather changes.-A Few Hens.

PROFIT In SQUADS.
A Few Suggestions from Lady who
Has Made the Breeding Of
Pigeons a Success.

I have been raising squads for four
or five years, but only recently have
ventured on larger scale. Have 175
pairs of birds, common and mixed va
rieties, writes Mrs. A. j. Smith.
My plan is to make each pair of birds
take certain box; for instance, if the
birds seem to prefer high box, give it
to them; if a low one, choose one nearer
the floor; one can always judge by
their actions. All the empty boxes must
be kept closed. It is surprising how
quickly they will learn their own boxes,
and once settled the male bird defies
all intrusion. By SO doing you learn
all your birds by sight, and if there
are odd or strayed ones in the flock,
they may be removed. At night it is best
to look them over.
I have fed little besides corn and
wheat, with a box of oyster shells and
grit. To avoid disease, clean the boxes
from which the squads have been taken
to kill, and scrape the floors once week
or every two weeks. Keep air-slacked
lime and carbolic acid scattered about
profusely and the disease will soon
depart. This must be done frequently
the year round, as perseverance and
constant attention are the only way
to success.-Farmers' Voice.

FEEDING N YARDS
Birds In ooaAnenent Need Di2erent
Ratiens from Those Havtaga
Free Woodland Ran.

Poultry In confinement must be fed
differently from those which have .
free run ofgrass or woodland. in which
latter they reve1, hunting over all the
leaves, and scratching away. around
and under.old logs for their. favorite
grubs and bugs. Ifyou have not made
it business to watch your chicks and
hens carefully, you do not realize what
q large amount of grass and green food
they will eat in a day when it is at hand
and when they have not been overfed
with grain or scraps. Fowls need
coarse food or something that gives
bulk as wellas nutriment Even though
you feed che confined birds the same
identical food they obtained for them
selves on a good run it would not be
the same, sas they cannot select for
Themselves and they would still lack
the exercise so necessary for their
health, and, therefore, in confinement
the same food would be too much for
them. This is why successful raisers
of poultry in confinement always throw
the grain to their fowls in straw, thus
compelling them to work for it.. Exer-
else is necessary for their health, but
II the food is composed more OF. nj,
trogenous elements and less of the car
bonaceous Especially of the oils, and
fats. there would not be SO many dis
eases to confront. There are people
who pamper their chickens, both old
and young. Corn is usefulin the poul-
try business, as lard or bacon is in the
kitchen, but not as q regular diet. If
you want to fatten poultry or warm
them in cold weather, or when hen
is poor, and on that account not laying.
and needs q richer food, corn is excel
lent, but should not be given almost
exclusively. especially when fowls are
confined. 1t is not difficult to incur a
serious loss, where good number of
fowls are kept, by injudicious feeding.
All kinds should have suff1ciency of
food without being overfed. If the birds
are kept in q state of semi-starvation
the hens lay but few eggs, and those
intended for killing become so attenu-
ated that very considerable outlay is
necessary before they can be brought
into proper condition for the table, and
will lack tenderness and delicacy. To
feed too literally is wasteful, and in the
case of laying hens decidedly objection
able; for hen when it becomes very
fat ceases to produce up to the average,
and is subject to various ailments. Full
grown fowls should have just as much
as they will readily eat and no more.
Barley, either in whole or in ground
state, is fairly economical used either
alone or in combination with other
food. Oats and oatmeal are of espe-
cial value for fattening for the table.
Pieces of bread and vegetables of all
kinds may be utilized, and scraps Of
meat chopped up rather small are of
great value in feeding fowls shut up
in small yards where. they are unable
to obtain worms and insects. Potatoes
boiled and mixed up with sufficient
quantity of coarse bran, when scalded
to form rather stiff paste, are useful
for helping out the corn.-Farm and
Fireside.

Crocodiles, like ostriches, swallow
pebbles and small stones, which serve
the purpose of grinding their food. The
natives assert that it is possible to tell
the age of crocodile by the number of
stones in its.stomach, for they swallow
one each year. In point of fact Is stones
have been found in the stomach Of

varies between four and eight. So says
