PROFIT IN SQUADS.
A Few suggestions from a Lady Who
Has Made the Breeding of
Pigeons a Success,

l have been raising squads for four
or five years, but only recently have
ventured on larger scale. Have IT'S
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 a high box, give it
to them; if 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.
l have fed little besides corn and
wheat, with 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 a week
or every two weeks. Keep air-slacked
lime and carbolic acid scattered about
protusely 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.

Ducks Have Few Diseases.

The duck is afflicted with but few dis
eases, the most prominent being vertigo
and commissions. The first comes from
overlooking, and can only be cured or
prevented by keeping them on a grass
diet exclusively. Commissions are
caused by dampness, poor food, filthy
coops and lice. The best remedy is to
clean out the coops, make them dry,
a.ld feed on nourishing food. Ducks
should always have dry quarters at
night. Lice seldom exist on ducks, and
when the quarters are very filthy the
vermin will sometimes put in an appear
anse.-Farm and Fireside.

Green Bones for the Hens.

A mess of green bones at least twice
week will always prove beneficial, as
they provide lime for the shells and
serve as change. Some do not believe
in feeding grain at all in the summer
season, preferring to allow the hens to
work. A pound of green bone cut with
bone cutter, twice or three times a
week, given to dozen hens at night
is better than feeding grain, as the hens
nearly always come up with full crops
when they are on the range. When in
confinement in late fall or winter the
green bone will continue to be of val
liable assistance.-Farm and Fireside.

FEEDING IN YARDS.
Birds in Confinement Need Different
RatlOns from Those HavinE0
Free Woodland Run.

Poultry in confinement must be fed
differently from those which have a
free run of grass or woodland, in which
latter they revel, hunting over all the
leaves, and scratching away, around
and under old. logs for their favorite
grubs and bugs. If you have not made
it business to watch your chicks and
hens carefully, you do not realize what
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 we'll as nutriment. Even though
you feed the confined birds the same
identical food they obtained for them
selves on good run it would not be
the same, as 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
If 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 useful in the poul-
try business, as lard or bacon is in the
kitchen, but not as a regular diet. If
you want to fatten poultry or warm
them in cold weather, or when a hen
is poor, and on that account not laying,
and needs richer food, corn is excel
lent, but should not be given almost
exclusively especially when fowls are
confined. It is not difficult to incur a
serious loss, where good number of
fowls are kept, by injudicious feeding.
All kinds should have a sufffciency of
food without being overfed. If the birds
are kept in 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 a sufficient
quantity of coarse bran, when scalded
to form rather stiff paste, are useful
for helping out the corn.-Farm and

PUMPKINS FOR HOGS.
Estimates as to Their Value Based on
Experiments Conducted at the
Oregon Station.

We did not think pumpkins as valu-
able for feeding to hogs as we did to
cattle, but when they were plenty the
hogs had some every day, for we could
not keep them late in the winter. We
never cooked them unless to throw in a
few when boiling small potatoes or
other roots for the hogs, as we thought
them too watery when boiled, and they
seemed to be relished better when given
raw. We notice in a bulletin sent out
by the Oregon Experiment station
that they tested pumpkins for hogs
weighing 40 to 200 pounds each for
four periods of IA days each. The
pumpkins were cooked with shorts.
For the first two weeks it took 1915
pounds of pumpkins and 2.12 pounds of
shorts to make pound of gain. The
next two weeks it took 1895 pounds
OF pumpkins and 1.3 pounds of shorts.
III the third period 14.39 pounds of the
pumpkin and 1.79 pounds shorts, and
for the last two weeks 14.46 pounds of
pumpkins and 2.54 pounds of shorts.
The average gain for each hog during
the whole time was about 11a pounds
per day, and counting pumpkins at
$3.50 ton and shorts at SIP the cost
per pound of gain was 20 cents. This
may have been cheap enough, but we
think it could have been made cheaper
upon raw pumpkins, and by using a lit
tie more shorts, or perhaps mixture
of equal parts of cornmeal and shorts.
After hog weighs 200 pounds alive we
are not afraid to give him as much corn
meal as he will eat until we get him fat
enough to kill. They tried to increase
the amount of pumpkin and reduce the
amount of shorts, but the pigs object
ed, and, as will be seen above, they had
to increase the proportion of shorts.
We never tested pumpkins for sheep
feeding, but have no doubt they would
work excellently well. We never re-
moved the seeds when feeding them,
and never saw that they were doing any
injury to either cattle or hogs.-Amer-
lean Cultivator.

ly TO an entirely new camp" and this

their herder in movable house, as

I used to have tent for the purpose,
but this has many Objectionable fea-

MYSTERY OF A PAUNCH.
Quaint Story of u big Belted Man from
the East End Of
London.

For many years a typical East end
onion Sackruni, lived at No. 9 Green
Dragon yard, +. He was never called
by his real name, however, because the
children of the district had invented an.
other name for him which they thought
more appropriate. Solomon Sackruni
had an immense paunch, and it was to
this fact that he owed his nickname
The Hebrew youths who knew him were
mostly afraid OF him, and to account
for their fears they invented a pleasing
legend to the effect that he was accus.
toned to Stay and eat all children who
fell into his grasp. Hence also his ap
propriate cognomen, Shechet (the
slayer).
In the course of time Solomon Sack.
rum, the slayer, died, and when his
body was prepared for burial it was
discovered that his immense paunch
was not natural development, but a
huge roll of cloth which he wore
around his midst. Coins of all sorts
fell out of the slayer's artificial
PduASA- SO1A duO S1ASS4 VI NdAAOuo uC-
nominations. With the last roll
folded document fell upon the floor. 1t
was post Office savings bank book,
and in it were entered deposits amount
ing to $50, all in the name of Solomon
Shechet.
The mourners were surprised that
Solomon Sackruni should have kept
his account with the postmaster gen.
eral in his nickname of Shechet, but
they assumed that it had been his
whim to do so, and in due course Mrs.
A. Morris, next of kin to the deceased,
applied to the savings bank for the
money.
She was promptly informed that the
bank book was never the property of
her father, but belonged to quite an
other Solomon Shechet, who lost it in
1896 and duly reported the loss at that
time. Mrs. Morris placed the matter
in the hands of Liverpool street So
licitor, who made due inquiries and
found that the heirs of the late Solo
mon Sackruni must rest satisfied with
the statement of the post Office authori-
ties, which is well supported by evi-
dence.
Mrs. Morris very natural claim, in
fact, has faded away like the immense
paunch of her deceased parent.-Lon-
don Nail.

How to Retain FertiIitv

A farmer may be successful and grow
large. crops, yet become poorer because
the land has lost its fertility. Every
thing sold from the farm is taken from
the land, and the supply must at some
time become exhausted. Rotation of
crops, blowing under of green food and
the saving of manure will assist in re-
tanning fertility, but nevertheless much
leaves the farm that is never returned
unless the farmer buys something in
its place. Fertilizers should therefore
be used on every farm in order to keep
the farm to its highest degree of fer
tlity.

The brood SOW or the male hog can
be kept very well through the winter
at small expense. They will keep fat
enough for breeding purposes on little
bran mash with a few raw roots and a
handful of clover each day. Uusally
they are very fond of raw beets and
turnips, and they seem to do better on
them than on cooked roots. The latter
are TOO watery, and need some whole
corn to go with them, instead of a bran

Angora goats are great browsers, eat

THREE TEAMS TIED.
Rowling Match between Column Il a
and Y. VI, c, A,

A bowling performance, participated in
by ten knights Of the wooden Sphere-five
| representing the Young Mems Christian AS
s0cation and five the Columbia Bowling
Club, drew large assemblage Of specta-
tors to Simpsons alleys last night. Few
pays. aside from some rather brilliant spare
work the part Of the Christian Associa-
ton b0wlers were sufficient to receive DEM
illustrative applause, as on the whole the
games We're not contested with a great
amount of EXPERIENCES. nearly all of the
team totals being low.
Y. NJ. G. A. secured the best of the win
ming, capturing the first two games. Hod-
rick fully sustained his former records for
excellent bowling. finishing with his Gus
t mary good average. The surprise of the
evening was the low total Of Stitt in the
opening game.
In the first game the visiting side made
a long jump forward in the early stages
and practically had the game Won in the
fourth frame. The Columbus pulled I'D in
fine style in the fifth and sixth innings
and placed themselves quite close to their
antagonists. and a double header by Rod
rick at the finish gave them a good oppOr-
tunity to pull out. The side bowIed but
sxtythree pins in the tenth, however.
while the Y. NJ. c. AS improved their DO
stion and won by twelve pins.
The score follows:
