Points in FEEDING.

Green feed of some kind is absolute
ly essential to the production of the
largest number of eggs during the
cold weather, and meat of some kind
is just as necessary. 1t does not mat
ter much what the green feed is. 1t
may be silage or vegetables of any
kind, or in the absence Of anything of
this kind nicely cured clover hay,
stepped in warm water after being
cut into short lengths, makes a pretty
fair substitute. | feed turnips and
cabbage almost exclusively for green
feed after the rape is gone. Beets.
mangels, swedes, carrots or potatoes
are just as good. Feed all the fowls
will eat three times a week. 1t does
make difference what kind of meat
is fed. There is nothing of this kind
equal to green cut bone when it can
be got at a reasonable cost of time
or money. It contains the meat as
well as the bone which goes to make
egg shells. After the green cut bone
comes the meat meal, which is sold
by poultry supply houses at from
$3.50 to $500 the 100 pounds.

Rendena Cattle,

The valley of Rendena, situated in
the district Of Tione of Italian Tyrol,
and extending as far as the Garda
Lake and the valley of the Etsch, is
the home of breed Of cattle, the val
liable qualities of which have become
recognized far beyond it's original
boundaries. These cattle. are of me-
1ium size, the height at the shoulder
Ding four feet, the length of the body
five feet and the live weight 500
pounds. The color of their hair is in
Fariably a dark chestnut brown, some
lines showing stripes and spots of
lighter or deeper shades. The middle
inc along the back, the belly, udder,
forehead, ears, and the bullock are
light brown or reddish yellow, con-
tracing beautifully with the general
dark color of the body of the animal
and giving to the head deer-like ap-
pearance. Their form as well as gen.
eral characteristics clearly indicates
great capacity for the production of
milk. Under ordinary feed and care
the COWS give yearly amount of milk
equal to four times their own weight,

The Luck of Mayor Hart. =

Mayor Thomas N. Hart of Boston
conducted his own campaign in a
mastery manner. The situation was
peculiarly delicate. Normally, Boston
is Democratic, but at the December
elections there was a boiling wing of
the Democracy that threatened at the
first sign of mistake or the utter
ance of an unwise sentiment to return
it's allegiance to the Democratic can
didate. Mr.. Hart therefore planned
for a short campaign with few speech
es. There were no mistakes, and the
boiling Democracy elected Mr.. Hart.
When it was ''all over but the
shouting" Mr.. Hart, in conversation
with one of the Republican leaders,
said:
This campaign reminds me of the
old southern darby who was brought
before the court for stealing chick
ens.'
"In what way?" some one asked.
"Why, the judge asked the old man
looking at him sharply and speaking
in his sternest manner: Were you
ever in court before for stealing
chickens?"
No sab, said the colored brother
with a grin; Use been mighty lucky,
sab
And so have l." said Mr.. Hart with
a hearty laugh.-Saturday Evening

Testing Seeds.

Seeds should be carefully tested be.
fore planting, or heavy losses may &C.
cur through their failure to germin-
ate. There is less danger of not be.
ing true to name than of being old
and showing low percentage of germ
ination. Count out so or 100 seeds of
each kind you are going to plant and
put them in small flower pots, label
ing each one carefully. Place these
in warm greenhouse, hotbed or
kitchen window and take note of how
many terminate. You can Judge how
thickly to SOW the seed in order to
secure a suitable stand of plants.

Three Breeds That viii Put Money
in the Owners Pocket.

in the Owners Pocket.
l have had the three breeds of
ducks, viz, Rouen, Pekin and Ayles-
bury, some time but last season, or
In 1898. kept close watch of the three
breeds to see which was the best. The
result was in favor of the Rouen, both
In eggs, size and early maturing, next
the Aylesbury and last the famous
Pekin. Now, after another years
trial, the result is somewhat different.
The Pekin is ahead both in eggs and
size (but not in maturity, the Rouen
next and the Aylesbury last. The
Rouen matured little ahead of the
Pekin, but otherwise the Pekin was
ahead. This experiment was just as
hear perfect as the writer was able
to get, giving the three breeds the
same feed and chance.
l would not try to say which of the
three breeds is best from these two
experiments, but l will try one more
year, If possible, and then decide.
have In my yard some old Pekin
ducks male 9A pounds, female 9
pound; young ones weighing, male
S1a to 8 pounds, female 71b to 81
pounds, which think are very good.
In England the Aylesbury is the
leading duck. They claim it is the
earliest maturing, and, therefore, the
best market breed, but to take one
breed in preference to another l would
not know which to choose. The Rou-
en- is the most handsome of all ducks
and very large, and the Aylesbury,
with their snow-white plumage, very
nice, and also the Pekin. Take any
of the three breeds and give them
good care and feed them properly and
they will put money into the owners
pocket.-V. E. Josenhans, in National

Useful Information,

Ten hens should have about three
pints of water per day. A chicken
should reach broiler weight, 21a lbs.
dressed, in three months.
A broiler shrinks about half a pound
in dressing.
Many growers in the east estimate
poultry manure as worth half the cost
of the food
For each male allow 10 to Is hens,
to 10 ducks, 1 to geese, 1 pigeon.
Breeding stock should be mated at
least four weeks before beginning to
save eggs for Matching.
Ten to 20 square feet per fowl, or
10 feet square or more for ten fowls,
is about right for the house.
The yard should be at least three
times as large as the house, and it is
much better to allow land at the rate
of one acre per 100 fowls.
Turkeys will forage most of their
food where bayberries, insects, etc.,
are found, at the rate of one to three
turkeys per acre.
A good hatch for a sitter in midsea-
son is about Is per cent, which cor
responds to about so per cent. from
incubators.

Bio Turkeys.

So many people want the largest
tom they can find, regardless of form
and color, but that is a great mistake.
l have known some late-hatched toms
of vigorous constitution and fine form,
yet get as large and sometimes larger,
than the extra big ones. 1t is the we'll
formed bird that gets the best off
spring. If bird has large feet and
big-boned legs he is nearly always
sure to make big bird. The raw
boned bird in the fall will make the
largest specimen in the flock, if not
too clumsy. Buy vigorous toms, and
do not ask for weight, as that is not
so important.-S. B. Johnston, in
American Poultry Journal.

Dairy Hits.

One pound of cheese is equal to az
pounds of beef in nutritive value.
1t pays to cooperate with animals,
rather than sell the soils fertility at
the small price coarse grains bring.
The best fodder plant is Indian
corn; with bran added it is a first
class food.
Be careful to guard against odors
in salt and use only fine salt. Windsor
salt is given the preference by many.
If good butter is long exposed, 1t
will get off flavor on the outside.

Forcinu Vegetables,

Good soil for forcing vegetables may
be made by mixing one load Of well.
rotted COW manure with three or four
loads of rich loan. If it is little
pasty or heavy add some sharp sand
to make it more porous and give bet
ter drainage, which will prevent it be.
coming sour and hard. This soil will
do for forcing nearly all kinds of
vegetables and flowers.

A Hotbed.

A plot Of ground 9x6 feet, covered
with hotbed sash, may be made the
most profitable piece of land on tho
whole farm. The amount of food
which it may be made to furnish for
the support of the family is surpris-
ing. A hotbed is too often regarded
as a luxury, but it is within easy
reach of the most humble farmer

A Legal Board TO Consider the
Que ,tion of Ownership.
Representatives of the State and

ings About Teachers of the Island
Now in This C0untry-Fears Tint

HAVANA, June GA legal board to
consider the question of ownership Of
church property. has been appointed in
order TO pave a way to a quick and equi-
table settlement of the matter, which has
becomes somewhat pressing.
The question is a very involved one ow-
ing TO the length of time that has elapsed
ing church property were issued, and also
on account of the many changes made by
subsequent DEGREES. Representatives of
the Church and State will appear before
the board. A settlement would be well
coined by all parties.
Some of the local papers have been
somewhat exercised regarding the nxcur-
sion of Cuban teachers to the United
States. 1t is claimed that some of them
are hardly teachers in the proper sense
of the term. owing to their lack of educa-
ton and experience. and that they will.
therefore make poor showing for Cuba
before the Americans, who will infer that
if the teachers show a lack of education
the rest of the island must be sorely in
need of education.
1t is also claimed that the selection Of
,, the teachers has not been properly made.
This shrinking from the personal test and
lack OF self confidence are perhaps to be
expected from people who have not been
! allowed any initiative, and who have
always been directed by others.
This same spirit was noticeable in some
of the revolutionists, who. when brought
face to face with the idea of immediate
independence, preferred to postpone the
date Mr.. Frye, Superintendent of Schools.
said that he was not afraid of the effect
which the Cuban raw material will pro-
duce on Americans. He added that he
had to begin at the beginning in the mat
ter of teachers. as the number of certified
instructors in the island was under two
hundred.
He knows that many of those going to
the United States are mere recruits. but
he is none the less hopeful on that &C
count As regards the selection of the
teachers, this was left to the local boards
of education and mayors. Mr.. Frye con-
siders that this was the best method OF
selection.
