Poultry Notes.

How old should hen be when she
is sold off or killed for family use!
The answer is, she should be killed
after her second year. But in spite
of this quite general answer, it Is a
known fact that some poultrymen keep
their Brown Leghorns till they are
about ten years old. One Brown Leg
horn hen was kept till that age, when
she had to her credit about 1000 eggs,
a good average, we must admit. Light
Brahmas are said to be good layers
till quite old. However, we lack data,
as the domestic fowl has been sadly
neglected in this. She Is such small
piece of property that We have never
thought it advisable to keep her for
ten years and count her eggs. A sys-
tematic series of trials of this kind
might give us good deal of light on
a dark subject.
The man that wants to become a sue
cessful poultryman must not become
discouraged. This is the first requisite.
He is sure TO have most discouraging
three or four years of such happenings,
he will feel that poultry raising is
delusion and that there is no success
possible in it, anyway. But that is
just the time when he should not
think of quitting 1t would be just as
reasonable for child, after having
had a full run of all childs diseases,
TO think Of giving up trying to live for
fear of constant recurrence of meas
les, mumps, chicken pox, whooping
cough and the like. The poultryman,
in his early disasters. is getting his
child's diseases. Having once had
them he is not likely TO have them
again. He has learned in the dear
school of experience and is now ready
to apply his lessons.
1t is not perhaps known generally
that the feathers Of hens form a con-
siderable article of commerce. There
are in Chicago and New York firms
that mako a business OF buying and
selling feathers Of all kinds Of domes-
tic fowls including the hen They |
have agents that travel through the |
country buying up all the feathers they |
can get. The farms are not visited, but
the large shippers of poultry are, for
the reason that they have feathers in |
sufficient quantity to make the visit OF
an agent an object. Most of the feath-
era Of the hen are used for filling
feather beds and pillows. The large

Prosperity Among Farmers.-I am
aware that the idea prevails that the
chances are much better for the ac-
emulation of wealth in cities than on
the farm. This is very great mis-
take. In the city small class has a
great deal of wealth and a large class
is in very moderate circumstances or
in the depths of poverty. The great
mass in the city are not as well OF
as those on the farm. The average
wealth of SO per cent of the inhabitants
of nearly every city in Illinois is less
than that of the surrounding country.

We once raised a calf that never
learned to drink milk, writes con-
tributor to National Stockman and
Farmer 1t was the only case OF the
sort ever heard of and we naturally
supposed that it would die, for by no
possible means could it be taught to
drink any milk, more than just to taste
of 1t. 1t grew very thin, even before
we gave it up, but as nobody wanted
the job of killing it we turned it into
the field and let it take its chances
After that it lived somehow, on grass
and water, and it did not get any too
much of either, for we had the bad
habit of turning calves into sort OF
clearing that had neither water nor
feed in much quantity, expecting the
calves to live mainly on milk. The
calf that would not drink milk seemed
to fairly dry and shrivel up till 1t was
a sort of walking shadow, but it made
a great fight for life and came out in
the fall quite an animal, so that 1t
wintered with the other stock and be-
gan the second year about even. 1t
was a heifer and as cow developed
the ordinary milking qualities Of the
rest of the herd, none the worse, APP
parently, for it's experience. Nobody
had any idea why it disliked milk. l
cannot remember whether it began by
sucking the mother or not, but sup
pose that it did, as it was common to
allow the calf to remain with the cow
till the milk was fit to use.
My experience is that all possible
effort to get calves to eating solid food
early is valuable. We take to late
summer or fall calves as We watch
them more. These can be taught to
eat grass early and as it does not
physic them as the over-succulent
spring growth does, they can eat as
much as they will without injury.

Mr.. Wood. who Is employed by the

flames burst through the third-story OF
the big store on the Middle street side.
He ran back to the corner of Westmin-

box 2S2. The two watchmen in the build

they heard the alarm.

The damage 10 the stock was much

The principal loss was i'm the basement.

There was also considerable loss on the

The loss is fully covered by insurance

The store was closed today and will not
be opened until 10 o'clock tomorrow fore
