THE BROILER BUSINESS.
Some Reasons Why No One should
Engage In II without IA Long
Course OF Preparation.

One must be more or less of a spe-
cialist to raise broilers successfully for
market, and unless the business is
thoroughly understood it is discourage
ing. would not advise anyone to start
in this work without a long course OF
preparation. That can come only
through general experience with poul-
try, and then by attempting to raise
few broilers each year for market, in.
creasing the output year by year and
making additional facilities and i'm.
provements as the returns warrant IL.
To hatch out chick and make II grow
to the broiler size just when the mar
ket demandsit must all be accomplished
through artificial methods. 1t is going
contrary to all of natures rules, from
the time you put the egg in the incu-
bator until you kill and pluck the bird
for market. Consequently we must un-
derstand not the laws of nature, but
the rules that all have learned through
long years of experience.
In every lot of young broilers some
will grow much faster than others, and
II will be necessary to make an early
classification of the strong and weak.
Otherwise the strong will crowd down
the weak ones, take most of the food,
the best of everything, and actually
keep them from growing properly
through fear and intimidation. Keep
the weak ones together and the strong
chicks by themselves, and il may be
even third division will improve mat
tiers. The pugnacious chicks might well
be kept in separate pen, where they
can fight 1t out among themselves and
not vent their anger upon the more
peaceful ones. The most important dis
ease the young broilers and spring
chickens suffer from is bowel trouble,
and the food must be given to them
very carefully. This is often due to
the fact that the young chicks have not
taken enough grit in their food to
grind it properly. Chick size grit
should be given TO them regularly, and
II they do not take it mix il with their
mash. Grit must be eaten by the birds
IL their health is to be maintained, and
ms they grow older large size grit must
be fed to them. Bowel troubles will
rarely develop where sufficient grit in
one form or another is given to the
birds. Growing chicks should never be
crowded. and when the days are warm
enough they should be given all the out
door exercise possible. When they have
TO work for their food they have good
digestion, and when they have that few
troubles or diseases will bother them.

When We nuy nread.

In 1894 there were only 231,-
s4s,506 bushels of wheat retained foy
home consumption; in 1899 the guam
tity retained was 452,53O,zo5 bushels
In 1894 there were thousands of peo-
pie too poor even to buy bread. In
1890 everybody could buy bread. These
two comparisons represent the differ
ent conditions of the country under
democratic and republican adminis-
trations.

TONES and Di.infectants.

The Douglass mixture, composed Of
pound of copperas, two gallons Of
water and gill of sulphuric acid is
one of the best disinfectants, but if
preferred the acid may be omitted. A
teaspoonful of the solution to each
quart of drinking water is sufficient
as a tonic. A few drops of tincture
of iron in the drinking water of chicks
will be found excellent, and table
spoonful of lime water in each quart
of drinking water has often been serv-
iceable. When the growing chicks are
deblitated teaspoonful of a mixture
of chloride Of iron and phosphate of
soda makes an excellent invigorator,
and IL given in the drinking water
they will not use too much.-Ameri-

The remark is often made ''bees al
ways sting me if go anywhere near
them" / am inclined to think this is
due largely to the imagination and
not the bees, writes i. w. Greene, in
the Brookfield (Mo.) Gazette. Many
people when bees are flying around
them think that they are hunting n
place to sting you, when the fact real
ly is they are most probably hunting
something to carry home to store up
for winter. Bees are the gentlest and
most docile of all animated creation.
You can tear their homes to pieces or
take all their honey and leave them to
starve and they will not resent it, but
with all patience will go to work and
endeavor to repair the damage done,
provided you handle them right.

BARN IN PERSPECTIVE

nure pit was built under a separate
contract. The timber for sills and
ground floor, and also the stones for
underpinning, were furnished by the
party for whom the building was
erected.
The site was that of a former barn
that had been destroyed by lightning,
and sloped away about four feet in the
rear; siX-by-eight-inch posts, 16 feet
long, were used instead of the T-planlS
ones in this particular building The
! dimensions were 60 by 30 feet. The
building complete, with horse fork in
working order, and two coats of prin-
cess metallic paint, with white lead

trim, was put up year ago for $500.
Probably $3.50 would have to be added
to that amount to duplicate it to-day.
The fact that the builder was archi-
tect, contractor, boss carpenter and
journeyman combined probably saved
500, but even with that addition to
the expense it is a cheap barn, consid-
ering its capacity, and for those desir-
ing that combination seems to meet the
requirement in an effective manner.

Corn ana silver values.

A bushel of corn worth an ounce
of silver! Pretty near 1t. On May z
corn was worth 45as cents bushel
in the New York marked. Silver was
worth 507s cents on the same day. In
1896, at the time of Bryanic prophe-
cies as to free silver, corn was worth
only 21h cents on the farm. But it
has kept on advancing in price under
the gold standard.

any courage about it. 1t took more
bravery to stay with the ants. There
