SLEEPS IN THORNR0SE.

The funeral of Major Jeddiah Hotch-
kiss took place Thursday afternoon
from his late residence on East Bever-
ley street and was attended by large
number of his friends and relatives,
which in itself bore testimony to the
high esteem in which be was held.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. J. M. Wells, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church, Of which
the deceased was consistent member,
being ruling elder and the superin-
tendent of its Sunday school, assisted
by DIR. James p. Smith, of Richmond;
DR.. A. M. Fraser, of the First Presby
terian church, and DR.. G. w. Finley,
of Thinking Spring.
The full choir of the Second church
was present and rendered sweet music.
They were assisted by members of the
other church choirs of the city. After
the singing of the hymns selected and
prayers by MI. Wells and DR.. Fraser
the former delivered beautiful dis,
course eulogistic of the dead warrior
and Christian.
The casket, while it remained at the
home, was covered with the old army
coat of the deceased and also thereon
was the field glasses he used while serv
ing his country on the battlefield. Al
the conclusion of the services, which
We're very impressive, causing many
eyes to moisten, the procession wend
ed its way to Thornrose Cemetery
where loving hands lowered to his las
resting place all that was mortal O.
their comrade and friend.
At the grave there was prayer by
DR.. Finley and the benedictiOn by DR.
Smith. The floral offerings were pro
fuse, and especially attractive were
the designs of the Second Presbyterian
Church Sunday school, which repre-
scented the gates ajar. and that Of

Eggs from the Best Layers.

/ think the very best months in the

that the fertility is lower and chicks
weaker hate in the season, after the

have also noticed that these late ha tch-
ed chicks, as Il rule, ARE much more
difficult to raise, and are much more

by means Of which we could know
which hen laid each egg, and use eggs
for Matching only from the very best

h Lot of extra work and the records
would need be carefully kept; but l
think it would pay fOH the Time, tls

Poultry Breeding

The question regarding the age OF
breeding stock has often been discuss
ed, and few lines giving my expert
ence will, [ think, hurt no one, but
may help some.
Fowls usually do not reach matur
ity until they are about one year old.
This is an important fact to remember
in breeding for stock. The mating of
cOckerels and pullets Of six OF seven
months old will not produce strong,
vigorous birds, although it may be a
wear or so before the effect Of such
breeding is noticed. Hens over one
year old are the best to breed from,
but they do not as a rule lay as early
as pullets. FOr broilers and very early
spring chicks we must look to the pull
lets; but this can be offset by using
cocks with the pullets, thus giving us
d better and also a stronger chick.
10 my mind the ideal mating is hens
after their first moult with a good, Wig
orous, early cockerel, and from such
mating | always use for my breeders
the following year. Perhaps it is fan
cy, but [ always imagine they grow
better and stronger than any other
mating | have ever tried. Remember.
am not saying that cOckerels and pull
lets have never produced good results,
rs they have in my own yards; but
year in and year out they would not
produce the quality, vigOr and size as
mature hens and q good, strong cocker
ell ! am looking now on the utility
side, and one Of the chief aims in util-
ity fowls is strength and vigOr; with
out them you have nothing. Inbreed-
ing should never be done even for one
year. Buy good, strong males every
year, and be sure they are full breast
ed and everything necessary for the
points YOU are after-eggs or meat, or
both.
Look out for the breeding stock; up
on them lies success or failure, pro
vided other things are taken care of.
Like begets like. If you hatch weak,

Ration for Young Chicks.


We never give the young chick any
thing to eat till it has been out of the
shell twenty-fOur hours. The yolk part
of the egg never enters into the con-
stlUction of the chicken; it is all form
ed from the white part, which contains
about ten per cent of pure albumen.
The yolk is absorbed into the body of
the young chick and is us d ais food
for the first day This is ONE of na>
lures wise provisions to give the little
chick time to gain strength and be-
come used to tits new surroundings.
When it is first Matched 1T Lays down
and stretches its legs out behind and
Its Ielad and neck forward. In this
and is prepared for the food it must
next be given. We always give raw,
dry oatmeal for the first feed In this
is mixed very fine gravel or powdered
egg shells, to furnish grit for grinding
dhe food in the young crop. We next
make "a custard by taking a pint Of
sweet skim milk and beating "a raw
egg into it, This is placed in the
range oven and made into IA custard
Then we take nice corn meal and
make "a Johnny cake, just as good as
if We were to eat it ourselves, and
Is mi iIutn ts1Y n
the whole has the c0nsis tency of
dough; it is then fed to the chicks.
This ration is kept up for three weeks;
at the end of that period we give them
the same ration our laying hens get,
and which is made up as follows: 100
pounds corn meal, 100 pounds ground
0ats, 100 pounds wheat bran, so pounds
old process oil meal and so pounds fine
'Nnimal'' meal. This is mixed with
skim milk and fed in a dough form. 1t
makes the young chicks ''fairly jump"
in their growth. We have the chicks
make a weight of two pounds at the
age of nine weeks. It is the best ra-
ton we ever tried-And we have tried
almost every thing-for egg production
We also feed our hens vegethbles-of
which beets are best. We should make
the winter foods and environments for
the laying hens as nearly like those Of
spring as possible.-New York State
