Poultry Notes.


With fancy poultry breeding close
culling is necessary.
A large number of young cocketels
in the yard are nuisance.
Some hens Darer make good inclbat-
ors; the heat is, either too high OF 100
low.
All of the best breeds have been built
up by judicious inbreedings of selected
fowls.
Confinement and ioieness often gen
crate vicious habits like egg-eating or
feather pulling.
Hardy, wide rangers. those clean of
limb and with small combs, are best for
the farm.
The egg contains almost all of the
constituents of the human body. hence
a variety of food is needed to construct.
A standard tariety of poultry well
cared for in every way can be made of
more value than a dozen kinds neg
lected.
Hens require and must have carbon
ate and phosphate of lime for their
shells, and they must have all they
want.
Most grain IS deficient in lime and
mineral matters, but bran is rich in
nitrogen. carbon and mineral. and is
good 10 feed with grain.
As table fowl a good fat duck ranks
among the best. and for this reason
they are never drug on the market,
but sell readily at good prices.

Decline in British Agriculture.


The aggregate area of corn crops,
which comprise wheat, barley, oats,
rye, beans and peas, amounts to S,4TG,-
S92 acres, which represents a decline
ON the year of $50, 10 acres. This con-
traction of the corn acreage follows,
moreover, a similar decline of 96,20S
acres last year, and 1857 acres in
1899. a generation ago, say in 1871,
the United Kingdom returned 11,S33,-
243 acres as under corn crops; this
year the area is 3,356,351 acres less.
In other words, an area not far short of
three and one-half million acres has
been withdrawn from corn cropping
during the last thirty years. The wheat
crop alone has incurred just over two
million acres of this loss. This years
area of corn crops is made up of 4, 112,-
365 acres of oats, 2,140.S75 acres of bar
ley, LAG, 141 acres of wheat, 254. 093
acres of beans, 155,G65 acres of peas,
and 67,753 acres of rye. 1t appears,
then, that nearly oae-half of the entire
corn area of the British Isles is seeded
to oats, whilst if we eliminate the pulse
corn crops and have regard only to
the cereal corn, the oats acreage repre-
sents more than half the total.-Massa-
chusetts Ploughman.

Buying Grains for Cattle.

In most sections the main trouble in
feeding this winter will come from the
lack of grain home grown. To those
who must buy more or less grain the
advice is to buy now and in as large
quantities as you can afford, for the
market is rising and grains are more
likely to be higher than lower. For the
dairy cows, gluten meal should form a
part of the ration, and the roughage
should be utilized to the last degree,
so as to get the full benefit of the
great quantity of digestible food in it.
Bran should also form part of the ra-
ton, not only because Of its food value,
but because of its laxative effect on
the system. A good ration for the av-
erage dairy COW is twenty-five pounds
of corn slower, three pounds of gluten
meal, four pounds of bran and four
pounds of corn meal. If the animal
fattcns too greatly on this, increase
the corn slower and reduce the corn
meal and bran.-Indianapolis News.

Beware of the Cold Bath.

The cold bath in the morning is not
so popular as ii was formerly. There
is much energy expended in the reac-
ton and just at the time of day when
this energy is at its lowest ebb. Then,
too. cold water has very little cleans
ing effect. Very hot water stimulates
the nerves, which is the effect that we
are seeking from the cold water, while
il does not dcsIsa nd the energy of reac-
ton of the latter. Tie duration OF the
morning bath should be as short es pos.
sible-hardly longer than the mere APP
plication of the water TO the SKIN FOL
lowed by brisk rubbing. However,
many prefer a cool sponge bath in the
morning. and if this Is followed by a
warm glow and a feeling of well-being,
il certainly is beneficial. Many people
are not strong enough 10 react well.
\ hot bath at night is most cleansing
and restful. General bathing must be
regulated by individual peculiarites.-

"LITTLE JOE" THE NEwsBoX
His Visit to the Doctor and How He
Sauarel the Account.

Squared the Account.
Little Joe put his head cautiously
through the half-opened door at the city
dispcnsary yesterday morning and
looked about in a scared sort of way.
Little Joe is the Four Courts newsboy.
He pushed the door open wider and
hobbled in as we'll as his one leg and
crutch would allow. Then he held the
door to allow shaggy little dog, all
the more disreputable looking because
he was wet with the mornings rains,
to limp in after him. The dog was on
three legs, and was about as scared
looking as Little Joe. DR.. Newcomb
was on duty at the time. To him Lit
tie Joe went.
please, doctor, fix up my dog. He's
hurt his foot
us he your dog:" asked DR.. New
comb,
''Nosslr; l reckon he amt nObody's
dog, but he's hurried just the same. An
eff you'll fix him up I'll take him home
till he gets Well"
DIR. NewcOmb doesn't operate on
CANNES as rule. In fact, this was his
first case, but Little Joe's tear-filled
eyes made him consent. The dog was
| lifted on to the doctors lap, and an ex-
animation showed its right foreleg was
broken. DIR. NewcOmb set ii, bound it
| in splints, and then wrapped the mem
| Der in flannel. All this time the dog
never made sound except to whine
when the broken bone was put into
place. He seemed TO know that what
was going on, even if he didn't under
| stand it. was for his own benefit. DR..
| Newcomb put him down on the floor.
and he gave thanks the only way he
knew how, by wagging his tail. But
Little Joe had Il more substantial re-
ward to offer the doctor than that. He
pulled out dirty little bank book and
q stub pencil. Then he laboriously
spelled out the doctors name and
wrote it down in Irregular characters.
Il hain't got no money, doctor" he
said, but I'll bring you paper every
day. Much obliged, doctor" And
with that the two cripples, the boy with
his crutch and the dog with his foot
in splint, limped out into the rain

When horses ON the ranches of the
West We're thought a nuisance because
they ate food that the ranchman
thought should have been used by beef
cattle or sheep, they were slaughtered
whenever the ranchmen could get
among them with their rifles almost as
as others had slaughtered
the buffalo, and with less excuse, be-
cause they did not eat the meat when
they had other meat, and the horse
hide was scarcely worth the cost of
sending it where it could be utilized as
leather. 1t may not be necessary to
say that all this has changed within
five years past. Horses are needed for
all kinds Of work that produces food
more than they are for food purposes.
