taken repeated treatments for

Uncle Joshua on Chickens.

There's lots of money in
raising chickens" said Uncle
Joshua, ANY hen-book will tell
that. But so fairs I've ever
heard nobody's found ont yet
how to do it. It's funny what
effect chickens has on some peo-
pie. I've known folks-good,
honest, truthful men-to go to
keeping chickens, and inside of a
month it wasn't safe to believe a
word they said.
when I was a boy and lived
in Iowa l knew couple of men
deacons in the church, they
were-that went to raising hens
in a small way. 1t wasn't long
before they got to lying so about
how many eggs they got a day
that it was a scandal to the COM
munity.
Deacon Simpsonbottom started
in with Lang-shang rooster, a
Dominick pullet and three Ply
mouth Rocks. They all wanted
to set except the rooster and one
of the Plymouth Rocks, and he
calculated she'd lay eggs enough
for the others to set on. Had
nice nest fixed up in corner of
the woodshed, and used to watch
her through a knot-hole while
she was laying.
Had a basket lined with cotton
batting to keep the eggs in, and
a thermometer tied to the handle
SOS to be sure the temperature
was all right. Used to go look
at the thermometer every TWEEN
ty minutes regular. If it got
above 81 he'd open the windows
and fan the eggs with a palm leaf
fan, and when it dropped below
4S he'd hold them over the stove
till they got back to the right
point. Used to get up at twelve
o'clock every night to turn them
over.

guilty. The trial was before the.

will be released on the payment of a

came yesterday. Today the defense
tried to prove that Mrs. Nation was

ing eggs from some Of the best
strains in the country, and we're
| to-day in the poultry business
for simon pure exhibition birds,
l should still be breeding Buff
Cochins. They we're my first
love and / shall always take a
deep interest in thisgrand breed;
but though l had become a con-
firmed chicken crank in every
sense of the word, / wanted
something besides feathers, and
that something was eggs, which
I failed to get in any amount
from my Cochins.
About this time I began to
notice accounts of the wonderful
laying powers of the Buff Leg
horns, and being fully decided
that nothing but buff would ever
satisfy my fancy, l determined
to try the Buff Leghorns, and so
thoroughly satisfactory did they
prove, that I am to-day as en-
thusiastic over my Leghorns as
ever | was with the Cochins.
The Buff Leghorns to-day sets
the pace for the world in buff
color nothing can exceed the
beauty of the soft lustrous buff
of the female; and the more bril-
liant metallic buff of the male.
Their bright red com BIS and pure
white lobes bring out the rich
golden buff of their plumage to
the best advantage. Where can
you see a more pleasing sight
than a flock of these graceful
fowls on a green lawn, the bright
green making a most artistic
background.
AS for their practical qualities
they are most persistent layers
of large, white eggs, and are the
best of table fowls. They are
hardy quick growers, and will

DIPLOMAS to Judges.

This journal and several of its
correspondents have taken the
position that there should be
some kind of an examination
made as to the qualifications of
every aspirant, before he or she
should be allowed to sign his or
her name as 'judge," and we
are glad to note that retiring
president, DR.. A. E. Kegley,
made the following suggestion:
"The first is that occasionally
there shall be held, under the
auspices of this association, per-
haps at its annual meeting, a
conference of poultry judges.
am confident that nothing but
good would result from such a
conference. Another PROPOSE
ton, not opposed to this one just
suggested, is that judges should
be officially recognized by this
association, and in order to
test new aspirants for judicial
honors. Such plan of examin-
alton would not be applied to
Judges already in the field. J
would urge, at any rate, that
this association consider careful
| ly the whole matter of judging"
1t will be noticed that the first
thing recommended is a con-
ference of judges and he says
there would surely be good re-
suits follow such meeting, and
the next is that judges should
be officially recognized by this
association. If the American
Poultry Associations have {
right to make the standard, an(
they surely have, they SHOULD
have right to say who is quail
| fed to apply it and the sooner
they take up this matter th'
better. There is no reason WHY
Judges should be making sucl
differences in scoring as the,
seem to be doing at present
Whenever they make this a Lax

applicant must stand an exam

WISDOM OF THE HEN.
Something More than Mere Sit
ting Required to Hatch
Out the Egg.

tectly balanced in the middle of
the white. Unlessit remains thus
balanced the chances are decid-
edly against the Matching. Brood
ing hens understand that. When
filing the nest hen turns over
all the eggs in it before she quits
il, after laying a new one.
She knows, too, that in hot
weather the sun will addle her
eggs, so she chooses a shady
nest-spot. But in winter a nest
is often made where the fullest
sunshine streams into it.
Brooding is throughout full of
quaint surprises, says the New
York Sun. Eggs will hatch
more certainly and turn out
stronger chicks if the tempera
ture is a degree or so higher.
Just how it is donenobody knows
but mother hens some way con-
trive to raise the normal heat Of
their bodies to the requisite
pitch. Further, they strip the
whole breast of feathers, so the
eggs may have the benefit of full
heat. Twice a day they turn
over every egg in the nest, cud-
ding them separately up under
meath their beaks, making little
soft half fretful chuckling noises
the while.
Hens are most uncalculating
egg stealers. All eggs in sight
will be drawn into the nest,
though the stolen eggs may
crowd out those legitimately
there. Still, in way, hens take
stock of what they brood. With
few eggs they sit prim, with
trinity folded wings. With too
many they sprall all over the
nest, wings loose enough to let
light between the feathers and
frequently turn themselves about
reaching for uncovered eggs
and drawing them underneath
the breast.
A hen of average size canno
| proftably cover more than fiji
teen eggs. In cold weather thir
teen is a better limit, although il
midsummer the same hen nigh
brood and hatch twenty. Lief
to themselves the unchecked in
stinct of egg-stealipg with hen

spoiled eggs, with maybe one o
two feeble chicks.

FIGHTING YELLOW JACK.
Threc Have Died Who Had Decn
Bitten by Infected Mosquitoes.

HAVANA, Aug. 27.--Of the eight per-
sons bitten 10y infected mosquitoes in con-
nectiou with the experiments conducted
10y the yellow fever board during the last
three weeks three have died. Three 9TH
crs who took the fever are expected to
recover. One has not developed the dis
ease. The eighth person as yet has not
developed yellow fever although it is too
early to say what will happen in that
ease.
Surgeon Major Reed intends to CON
tnue the investigations. Major Gorgas,
chief sanitary officer. says the idea of the
yellow fever board was to subject to mos
quito infection as many as would volun-
teer. Sixteen persons had been bitten,
and all had recovered. and the theory OF
the board was that IL some hundred or
more persons could have been bitten with
similar results report could have been
published showing how apparently safe
and easy it was to become immune. After
this had been published the entire popula-
tion might have been immunzcd. SO
many cases gave mild results that the i'm
preston was created that the danger was
not so great as 1t has turned out to be.
Thus far during August there have been
two deaths from yellow fever in Havana
~ compared with an average of more
than 30 for the month Of August during
the previous IL years. Major Gorgas re-
CARDS the experiment in mosquito infec-
tion as of immense service TO science.
