A Mean. of Livelihood.

There is n great deal TO be said for
poultry raising, both as n means OF
livelihood and as a pleasurable occu-
patton, especially for woman who
lives out OF but adjacent to the city.
If she be not of very robust health
this occupation may be the means Of
making her well and strong. for II
means an opcn-air existence to her.
AS a business Investment. very lit
tie capital will bring excellent returns.
woman Is more fitted for this vari-
ETY. OF work than man. for, though
she may lack physical strength. there
are the many little essentials-care-
fulness, tender treatment, thrift and
attention-which are the backbone OF
success in poultry raising, which she
alone is capable Of handling.
AS an Investment, besides the rails
ing OF poultry for the market. the
eggs are to be considered. II Is bet
ter for the beginner to attend to hut
one branch OF this work. and which
branch will prove the more remunera.
tive. depends upon ones market. To
raise poultry one must be in close
proximity to- n city, but that Is not so
absolutely necessary If eggs alone fig
ure in ones investment. for these may
be shipped.
AS to the fowls themselves. pure
bred or frst-cross fowls are better lay
ers than the average barnyard birds,
and very little more expense Is en-
tailed in stocking a place with such.
OF the non-sctters, lePhorns are the
best layers. Wyan1ottes are also good
layers and moderately good settlers,
and both the Plymouth and rocks are
excellent birds. Cochns and brahmas
are very disappointing. It is not nee
cssary for the amateur poultry farmer
to lay in a large number Of birds. A
few birds of good laying strain, and
with eggs from these hatched for the
following season, will be all that is
necessary. Give the birds plenty OF
room and liberty and keep their nest
runs clean and they will thrive

A Novel Method of Keeping Poultry.

A neighbor of mine, an enthusiastic
practical farmer, with a good city busi.
ness, says he can get better results
out of chickens than any one else he
has any knowledge OF and he Is will
ing to stand as champion in this
speciality. His methods are certainly
remarkable in some respects. A win.
ter house, with about twelve hens to a
section, makes it possible to handle
the flock easily. The outside runways
are small. The summer management
is very distinct from the winter plan.
The winter house Is given up as soon
as 1t Is warm enough for hens TO
range about and they are turned out
into the orchard, a field OF Ave or six
acres.
The shelter is known as the annex
and is not elaborate. Here are placed
$50 hens to run at viii. They are fed
twice a day, the first feed being soft
and generally a mixture Of soft corn
meal and bran, with liberal amount
of ground bone. The second feed Is
corn, wheat or buckwheat and some
times TWO OF all lnree Ut II uHle. ne
same feed Is given in winter except
that the soft feed is given hot.
No special strains OF fowls are
kept, but the flock is changed every
year by buying in April 200 eggs from
various neighbors. An incubator does
the work, and n second sitting of the
same amount is made later. AS the
fall approaches the cockerels and all
o. the old dock are disposed OF. Not
II single fowl Is wlntered second
time.
While q two-year-old hen will lay
fairly well IL takes much more feed
to get an old hen through her moltlng
season and return to laying than it
does TO tit young pullet. So as soon
as the hens stop laying preparatory to
the molting season they are sold. The
claim for this plan is that it turns
young brood ln,o layers in the short
est possible time and therefore at low
est cost. and it Is also found that the
laying season is such that the most
money can be got out Of the eggs. cost

mess, and one which is followed by

and near the little station Of Coch-
rane, Wis, is located one of the most
extensive farms of this sort in the
country. The ranch is operated by
Huber Brothers, and they have a large
herd OF this species of animals.
Twelve years ago c. Huber went to
Thief River Falls, where he secured
two buffaloes that We're owned by In
dians. These, with a few others,
were taken to his Wisconsin farm,
and formed the nucleus of Il herd that
now numbers AZ full-blooded ami
mails. Huber Brothers have sold
specimens to various parks in this

& Hanson. of Luana, Ia, purchased
herd of six from Huber Brothers,
with which to stock their ranch. In
cluded in this lot We're Old Tom and
Lincoln, the kings of the herd. Tom
has lived in captivity for years and
was captured without much trouble,
but when attempt was made to cor
raj one of the cows, parSy tame
animal, she ran against fence and
sustained injuries of such nature
that it was found necessary to kill
her. At present the Huber herd
numbers 26 full-blood and a large
number of cross-bred animals.
