good straw given for bedding, and the

Poultry as a Farm Product.

Poultry as Farm Product.
The belief seems to prevail generally
that the rearing and feeding of poultry
is not really a special farm industry,
but that it is one of the by-ways as
may be said, to gather in odds and ends
of profit by using up some wastes of
the farm that would otherwise be lost.
We have at times mentioned some facts
which go to show that expensive pOul-
try keeping may be made greatly more
profitable than some other branches of
farm work and that the demand for
this kind Of farm produce is increasing
so rapidly and continuously that there
is no risk that it may be easily over
done.
Let us make comparison. A cow
is worth as much as thirty hens any
where. 1t needs an average Of five
acres Of land to support a cow, and two
under the most intensive system of
soiling and the silo. It requires the
time of one person to attend to ten
cows as it should be done. Thirty hens
may be kept on one-fourth of an acre
Of land with ease, and one one-fourth
as much food as cow must have, and
one person can attend to 300 hens with
ease. Suppose we then take this COM
parison, thirty hens equal one COW as
to cost; then how is the income in COM
parison? The figures given by noted
creamery as to herd Of fourteen cows
kept by the leading patron show that
the average income, over and above
| cost of feeding of these cows, was
$1S,67. In truth the actual average of
all the cows existing is estimated at
about half as much as this, and thus
not more than the average net income
from four average hens making $3.50
each. This fact should go far to raise
this useful farm animal in the esti-
nation of those persons who are seek
ing proft-making from rural pursuits.
And if there were no other items to go
to the credit of the Industrious and tire
less hen, this one should be sufficient
to give her prominence as one of the
means of making rural life and indus
try profitable, and indeed alluring.
The business of rearing poultry is
simple and already well understood, en-
failing no excessive labor, but simply
calling for attention at intervals
through the day. The work required,
of course, is precise, and needs atten-
ton, but it is in no sense laboriOus and
is not without attractive conditions.
The result of certain investigations is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton which represents hen, a
bushel of corn she consumes in the
year, or the equivalent of the mixed
rations required and the peck basket of
eggs numbering 1GO or the average
yield per hen of fairly good flock, but

HIS PEN PICTURE OF BLAINE

How the Western Politician Thought
the Plumed Knight Looked.
Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri tells
a story of an experience he had with a
Western politician whom he met on the
train on his way from the Kansas City
convention. Hot and worn out by the
week spent in the Missouri town, ex-
Governor Stone sought rest and quiet
in seat in the car next to an open win
dow.
Just before the train started a typi-
cal Westerner got in and took the seat
beside him. The train had hardly
started before this man, says the Balti-
more American, began to try to open a
conversation with Ex-Governor Stone,
and began to talk politics. The Demo
cratic leader from Missouri had had
enough politics during the convention
to last him for some time, and did not
encourage his companion to talk, But,
nevertheless, the man ran on in his con-
versation, and from his talk ex-Gover-
nor Stone soon found that he was a
great admirer of James G. Blaine.
"Did you ever see Mr.. Blaine ?" asked
the Westerner, and when Mr.. Stone re-
piled that he had his companion said:
1.-THE greatest disappointment Of my
life was that never saw the great man
from Maine. I'd just give anything in
this world if l could have seen him
walk down those halls of Congress.
wearing that white plume"
Governor Stone was so astonished at
this remark that he reused himself long
enough to turn to his companion and
say:
"Why, Mr.. Blaine never wore white
plume"
But this seemed to make the West
erner indignant, and he replied:
"Oh, yes, he did. Did you never read
about him being the 'plumed knight? ?
Why, l have heard that whenever he
walked down those halls, of Congress
he not only wore a white plume, but
carried spear, just like any other
knight"

Discoveries in Crete.

Arthur Evans, who dug UP the pal
ace at Gnossus in Crete, gave some in
teresting details about his discovery to
the Hellenic Society recently. A large
paved area he spoke of as 1.-The original
dancing ground of Ariadne." In one
corner of the palace was a throne room,
the throne having ''crockets" and other
details that anticipate Gothic designs.
There are frescoes of flowers, water,
fishes and crowds of men and women,
the former with red faces, the latter
with white. The headdresses and cos
tunes of the women are truly Paris
ian." The figure of bull in painted
plaster, found there, may be intended
to represent the Minotaur.

ant medicine used for curing the bodily

leans Bohemian to a Times-Democrat
man, II dropped in to see my friend
Lee Zip, who keeps what he calls a
'glocely stlo,' which is as near as he
can come to grocery store. He gave
me an excellent cigar. and presently he
said: You likee dly oystelY What
is that?" 1 asked before 1 real
lied that he was talking about
dried oysters. Come; show he
replied: and opening the lid of a big
box, he took out a handful of what
appeared exactly like dried oysters
carved in mahogany. They were not
shriveled and warped, like other dried
foods, but were as plump and SYM
metrical as any well-conditioned BIZ
valve fresh from the deep shell. The
only difference was they were dark
brown in color, and as hard as bricks.
When Lee Zip tossed them back into
the box they ratified like handful of
marbles.
"Of course, was greatly surprised,
and before l left l took pains to find
out all about them. The oysters are
caught and prepared at the big native
shrimperies on the other side of the
lake. The process is a trade secret,
but as nearly as I could gather from
Lee, they are spread on the tops of
large sheds and exposed to the sun
for several weeks. What prevents de-

brown as nuts. Last night l tried
some by special invitation in the back

Grass for Pigs.

Notwithstanding the anatomy of the
pig would seem to dispute the PROPOSE
ton, grass is necessary to it's best de-
velopment, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. The small stomach would seem
to indicate a grain ration or concen-
trated food of some sort, and so it does.
Hogs are wanted to consume a large
amount Of feed, converting it into
pork. Therefore the first thing re-
quired is to enlarge his capacity to eat,
or, in other words, to enlarge his stom-
ach. Grass, being bulky in proportion
to its nutritious qualities, is the very
thing and involves the only known
method of enlarging the stomach. At
the same time it furnishes the protein
needed to develop flesh, muscle and
bone. Then when We have a large
frame built up with enlarged digestive
capacity it is an easy matter to put on
the fat with corn or other carbohydrate
feeds

Orchard BLIGHT.

We notice in the Western papers
there is much complaint of blight
among the fruit trees. For several
years they have noticed it among the
pear and ounce trees, but not until
this year has it done much damage to
apple trees. The sultry weather has
been just what was needed for rapid
growth of the spores, and when fire.
quent thunder showers prevail it seems
to spread more rapidly. Every dis
eased branch contains millions of these
germs, and insects transmit them from
one tree to another. They are most apt
to affect young and tender branches Of
rapidly growing trees. We know Of no
efficient remedy excepting to cut off
and burn every affected limb, and cut
at some distance below the apparent
disease, as it spreads downward by
means of the sap. No spray has yet
been discovered which checks it's
progress. Cultivator.
