Among the Poultry.
Air out that henhouse

Air out that henhouse.
A comfortable hen is generally a
profitable hen.
Remember that thoroughbred male
is half the flock.
Before saying that poultry on the
farm doesn't pay, think twice.
A fat hen will cover eggs some bet
ter than a poor one, probably because
she will produce more feverish heat.
At recent convention held in the in
terest of poultry it was decided that
55 per cent is about an average hatch
Of an incubator.
The fowl that is "stunted" at any
time while young never becomes the
fowl that it would have been under
proper treatment.
People, like trees, are known by their
fruit in one form or another, and he
who knowingly sells poor eggs will
also be judged by his fruit.-Farmers'
Voice.

English shoe manufacturers who a

English shoe manufacturers who are
beginning to suffer from American
competition allege that although the
British workman's daily wages are only
about half as large as those Of the
American operative, the labor cost"
of a pair Of shoes is fully 25 per cent
more In England than In the United
States. Most Of the responsibility for
this fact is laid upon the British union
OF boot and shoe operatives, which, 1t
10 said, forbids Its members to turn
out more than certain amount Of
work. Possibly this union has found
the solution to the labor problem; but
the manufacturers doubt it, and base
their doubt upon the experience of the
race-that men who are afraid Of doing
too much eventually find it hard to get
anything to do.

A report received at the Department
of Agriculture discusses the feeding
Of cabbages and cabbage leaves to
mich cows. Cabbages are usually con-
demned as COW feed owing to their al
legged effect on the flavor of the milk.
A test made showed that the milk of
cows fed on cabbages directly after
milking was untainted. In report
of the New Zealand Department Of
Agriculture it is stated that forty tons
to fifty tons of cabbages per acre have
been grown at the experimental farm
and fed to COWS with most satisfactory
results. Up to twenty pounds was CIV
en- to each COW night and morning, with
the result that the increase of butter
averaged one pound per COW.

ed from the rock. In similar way
the value OF the food which is eaten

upon the amount of nourishment ex-
tracted from It by the organs of nu-
triton and digestion. When these
organs are diseased they fail to eX-
tract the noUrishment in sufficient

To Build Tn n Town.

Secretary s. A. Fishburn, of the
Dallas Commercial Club, has com
pleted ten rules for the building mp
of a town. The rules are as follows:
l. Stay away from every meet
ing in behalf of progress. This
will prove an encouragement for
those present.
2. Impugn the motives of those
who do attend such meetings and
charge them with a desire to adyer
tise themselves. This inspires pat
riotic men to work all the harder
for the public good.
3. Pour cold water on every
new home enterprise, predicting
early failure aud contribute to that
end by patronizing its rivals in
other towns. This will encourage
others to put their money in home
enterprises.
4. When a committee calls on
you for contribution to any good
cause, act like a sore headed bear
and yield up what you do give as
begrudgingly as possible. This
lightens the burden of the com
mittee and sends them ON their
way rejoicing in their work of
love.
3. When strangers visit your
town let them wander around alone
and enlighten themselves by read.
ing the signs and pumping the
professional loafer. They will
carry away a delightful remem-
brance of their visit and advertise
the town wherever they go.
6. "Cuss out" your public of.
fcials Ito their backs, of course, }
and accuse them of everything from
petty larceny to high treason, no
matter whether you can substan-
tiate your charges or not This
will prove a keen incentive to the
complete fulfillment of their official
obligations
Z. Whenever your town paper
differs in the slightest with your
ideas of public policies, declare
that it has been bought up and
promptly cut off your patronage
The editor will turn the other
cheek and redouble his efforts in
behalf of the town and its good
people.
s. Oppose every enterprise,
every detail of which is not in ex-
act accordance with your own
ideas, no matter how much in the
minority you may be. This will
be conducive to that spirit of con-
cession aud unity which is neces
sary to progress.
9. Give sparingly, if at all, to
movements for the general good Of
the town, even if you are the larg-
est property owner in it. This
will spur on to greater exertions
the public spirited citizens your
town now has and induce the COM
ing of others.
10. Observe these rules closely
and there can be no doubt of the
growth of your town. 1t will
grow and continue to grow-up in
wealth-until it shall ultimately
become a fit habitation alone for
bats and owls.
