PROPER MANAGEMENT.
Why Small Matters Should Receive
the Most Careful Attention of
the Poultry Farmer.

The periods of feeding should be
regular, certain hours being fixed
upon for that purpose; but there are
very few who thus Systematically
feed their fowls. Water should be
kept in the presence of poultry at all
times, and it should not only he clean
and pure, but fresh; yet this impor-
tant matter is overlooked by MANY
Warmth in winter and a cool location
in summer are essential to laying. be-
ing as important as a full supply of
feed; but every poultry house is not
comfortable. The prevention OF
dampness in the house avoids roup
which is terrible scourge in a flock
but the small leaks here and there
are not regarded as dangerous mat
ters by the average poultryman. Even
the height of the roost and the CON
struction of the nests have more or
less tendency to affect the profit from
poultry than many suppose, for high
roosts cause deformed feet. and poor
nests will not be occupied by the hens

looked, but they are important to sue
cess. Poultry should not be expected
to prove profitable without care more
than other stock, and the fact that a
profit is often derived from a flock
that has been overlooked is strong
proof that poultry-raising can be
made to pay well when conducted by
thoughtful, attentive persons. 1t is
the small matters that should receive
the most careful attention. as the OBJ

to prove beneficial at all tmes.-Farm

Hotel Clerk.

There Is a young business man who has
more hosiery than he knows what to do
with. He was quite recently on business
trip, and happened to stop for couple of
days in Philadelphia. He wanted to get
some advertising, but he was not fixed to pay
for it, and he had read about the king Of
the dudes" and other freaks who manage to
get some brief notoriety because of their
antics. He had ten dollars to spare on .

gain sale at which they had lot of last sum-
mer socks at so cents pair. He spent the
money on these things, and he went out of
his way to get the most outrageous combina-
tions of color and the most bizarre effects
that were in the place. He succeeded won
derfully. He had socks which made the
asphalt sidewalks curl as they do under ex-
treme heat. His extremities fairly shrieked.
Then he spent the day in the corridor of the
hotel sitting in a conspicuous place showing
off the socks. He would wear pair for
about 20 minutes, go to his room, change,
and, coming down, show off another design
for about the same time. He did this for al
most ten hours, and naturally attracted
quite a good deal of attention. That was
what he wanted, but he could not break in o
the newspapers. The clerk when he was
paying his bill said:

UP-To-DATE BRooDING COOP.

both for the freedom of ventilation re-
quired in day time and security from
marauding pests at night is one ques
tion that is answered in the design.
AS will be seen in the illustration,
the coop is so arranged that sunlight
and air are admitted through a wire
netting front in daytime, and by clos
ing the hinged door (A), which rests
upon the roof in daytime, the coop is
securely closed against all pests at
night. The coop being made of light
material, it can be moved to fresh
place every day or two, and gives the
old hen ample range in her commodi-
Gus quarters. Coops may be made any
size to suit the taste; a good size be-
ing 2X3 feet, floor plan. Two feet high
in front and IS inches in the rear. The
'oof of this coop may be made of
matched material as ceiling or floor
ing, and can be covered with roofing
paper to better exclude water. Such
coops should have a movable floor in
the early spring which will exclude
dampness and prevent gapes. good
brooding coop, as every housewife
knows, is half the battle in rearing a
flock of chickens, and no farmer should
deny his farmyard fowls few good
coops to hover in during the brooding
season. They can be made during
stormy days when other work cannot
be performed about the farm.-George

FEEDING WHOLE GRAIN.
4 Necessary Ration because 1t Keeps
the Hens Grinding Machine in
Perfect Order.

The hen is furnished with a grind
ing apparatus, and she will not keep in
vigorous state of health unless it is
put to use. Amateurs are apt to form
the opinion that they are doing their
hens a kindness by making their food
consist in large part of softened and
plastic masses. 1t saves them the work
Of grinding it, and it seems altogether
reasonable that it would be more di-
gestible and more readily assimilated
in that form than such tough and un-
yielding substance as whole grain.
In the atural state the grain food
of the hen would consist of the whole
seeds, and they were fitted for sub
sisting upon this kind of food. Do
mestication has modified, but has not
wholly changed their nature. The
grinding apparatus must be kept in
active operation. No flock will long re-
main healthy on softened and mushy
food. Though the elements of the mass
may be wholly unobjectionable, it fails
to supply the mechanical conditions
which will stimulate to healthy action
the grinding machinery.
The majority of successful poultry
men approve the practice of feeding a
small quantity of ground grain daily,
mixed with sufficient water to enable it
to be worked up into a crumbly mass.
But a spoonful of the mixture for each
hen is the allowance. The greater part
of those who are committed to its use
would prefer to dispense with it entire
ly rather than give more than this.
While confessing the advantages of a
restricted ration of this description.

WATERMELON WILT.
A Destructive Disease Whieh Is
Caused by n Fungus, and Is Hnrd
to Exterminate.

Watermelon vines are subject to a
certain wilt disease which strikes them
during the growing and fruiting season
and willis them to the ground. The
cotton plant and the cowpea are
troubled in a similar way. Erwin +.
Smith, of the department of agricul-
ture, says the disease is caused by
fungus. He has had his microscope
trained on this fungus for five years,
and has seen a number of things. He
has found a new name for it, which is
something; and he makes some sug-
gestions for avoiding loss by the dis
ease, which is more. The fungus lives
in the field - infected lands should
therefore not be planted. Fields which
are free may become infected by the
wash from infected lands; also by the
soil which adheres to farm implements
or the farmers boots. Care should be
taken to avoid trouble from this
source. The diseased vines should be
cremated as soon as discovered; and
there ought to be a man posted to dis
cover them every day. Sometimes
southern farmers make hay of their
melon vines, or use them for stable
bedding. Thus they get into the
manure pile, and, if infected with the
wilt fungus with the new name, the
manure-heap Immediately becomes a
source of infection for tho whole farm.
Farmers whose lands have become
generally infected are advised to grow
other crops IN their own fields, and to
rent uninfected land from their neigh.
bors for the purpose of melon-growing.
