The Tribune finds it hard to under
stand how this device cam be used as
described, unless the upper end of CD
leans backward toward the mans
head. It would then be no longer per-
pendicular, and the true principle of it
would be sacrificed. But if the sticks
were put together as in Fig. 2 greater
accuracy would be secured. Then ALB
would be horizontal and parallel with
the earth, and BIC would be vertical and
parallel with the tree trunk. Under
these circumstances, the distance from
the mans feet to the tree would be
equal to, the height Of the tree. The
principle employed is nearly the same
as that used ON warships at sea to get
the enemy's range.-N. Y. Tribune.

FATTENING POULTRY.
An Account of the Scientific Methods
Practiced at the New Stations
in Canada.

At the new chicken fattening sta
tions in Canada the methods practiced
are those by which the best grade OF
poultry is prepared for the English
market, the object being to fit Can
adam poultry to bring highest prices
when exported. The chickens are
bought from farmers at the weight
of three to 3H pounds live weight,
choosing the breeds likely to fatten
well, and with white or light yellow
legs, paying for these SO cents per
pair on the average.
The chickens were put in small
open lattice coops and fed on ground
grain, chiefly oats mixed with

cost of food was 6.43 cents per pound

For "a hours before killing the
birds were kept without food and
killed by wringing their necks. They

of feathers about two inches long was
left at the head of each bird. They

door, This is to be used in winter
and stormy weather. as by leaving
the door open rain and snow would
blow in. A board floor we find most
satisfactory as it is easier cleaned
and keeps out all animals.
We find that lean-to shed at one
end of the door of the coop facing
the south will furnish a warm, sunny
place for the fowls to scratch and ex-
ercise in on the coolest days of win
ter. In this shed we keep sand.
gravel and straw. In this straw we
throw grain in order to keep the
chickens active.
Our scratching shed is made of
poles and old straw or hay. In the
winter we set posts, and put up a
frame to hold straw packing and
make wall of the straw around the
two sides and back of the coop. This
will make the coop warm. Over the
front we tack building paper. as a
window protection, instead Of put

Skinned milk. During the last part
of the process they received an al
lowance of tallow. Four chickens
were kept in each coop. The corn was
ground fine and mixed with SKINNED
milk, sweet or sour, sour being pre-
ferred. The mixture resembled thin
porridge. At first. food was given
three times day for the first ten
days, then twice day. At the end of
the second ten days the examining
machine was used. Tallow fed dur
ing the last ten days was melted,
thickened with meal, and then mixed
with the porridge. 1t was the rule
not to feed at all until the crop was

Prepare for Cold weather.

Do not wait till right-down cold
weather before grain rations are in
creased. Begin earlier to get fowls
ready for resisting old Boreas. Now
is the time to take six inches off the
soil where henhouses have earthen bot
toms. Replace with clean, dry sand.
A filthy floor is hard on fowls when
cold weather confines them to their
house, and this removal of old top not
only cleanses but its stirring up dries
out the earth. Get the winters sup
ply of dry dust barreled and in safe
place. If you depend on home gravel
get that dug and also barreled. Gold
en-rod seed, gathered by the wayside
and sown this fall, is commended for
poultry shade where there are treeless
yards.-Rural World.

Barning Out old stump..

The easiest way to get rid of
stumps in, field or meadow is to burn
them out. Dig trench around the
stumps about two feet wide and two
and one-half or three feet deep, cut
off all projecting roots quite close and
remove the soil as well as possible.
Then leave the stump for a few days
to dry. Gather up lot of dry sticks,
brush, ETC., and fill up the trench all
around and on top of the stump and
set 1t on fire.. The stump will be con-
sumed-in q day or two. Even green
stumps may be burned out in this
way. although 1t may require sec
ond or third supply of dry sticks on
the fire to accomplish i'll. O. Follo,

RutIdinx Up His Business.

We recently saw the statement that
one big buyer of poultry In the west
follows the practice of sorting out the
thoroughbred males among his pur-
chased lots and selling them back to
the farmers at cost price, to improve
the focks. The course is wise one.
The trader knows there is more money
in dealing in good stock than in poor
and takes the opportunity to insure
himself good quality of stock in the
future. He evidently expects to re-
main in the business for number of
years and to reap the fruit of his work.
In fact, there Is no kind of live stock
that responds quicker to good breeding
than poultry. A good fuli-blooded
male will give a flock of laying half
breeds in eight months improvement,
and it is SO easy that there is no reason
why it should not be general.-Farm-
ers' Review.

Bees Feed on Go1den-Rod.

Among the fall plants which produce
good honey are the numerous varieties
of golden-rod. Honey made from these
flowers has a beautiful golden color,
similar to the color of the plant. It is
as pretty honey as one will find. The
flavor is excellent also. You some
times find honey that is tasteless and
more like sirup than anything else.
Some people call it artificial, but it is
made in the way that all honey is. The
difference is that the bees are fed on
sugar, and the product lacks the pc
culiar honey taste that belongs to that

value of Insect Powder.

A good application of insect powder
to the hens will make it plain to g
good many people about this time of
year why their hens don't lay. But
few of the hens are far enough ad-
vanced in the moult to cause them to
cease laying. If they are not laying
it is due to something else, and that
something in all probability is lice.
A dose of insect powder will tell the
tale. The eggs will begin to appear
a few days later and the owner will
know that the insect powder was put
