HINT FOR BEGINNERS.
Persons Unfamiliar with Poultry
Raising Should Start Business
ON 4 Small Scale.

It is better to rent a small farm to
begin with poultry rather than make
an investment in buying, unless the
beginner fully understands the keep
ing of fowls, for the reason that if one
buys he reduces his working capital,
and should he be unsuccessful he must
stay on the farm until he can sell it.
If he rents he can return the farm to
the owner and leave. It is claimed,
however, that if one buys he can be-
gin and get everything ready for per-
manent stay, which is true, but that is
just what an inexperienced person
should not do. He should start in q
small way and make his capital by in
creasing his focks every year; hence,
by the time he has large number of
fowls he will know much more than
when he began. He can then take his
fowls to a purchased farm and feel
that he has made good beginning.
This is the main point in favor of poul-
try-the making of the capital. No one
should expect too much for the first
two or three years. Begin with but
little capital, let the fowls increase,
and in five years one may be we'll es-
tablished, instead of taking the risk
of losing it all at once.-Farm and
FireSide.
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1901-09-20
AMONG THE POULTRY.

If your fowls do not seem to relish
sunfower seed, just hang few heads
on the fence Of the poultry yard with
in reach of the birds and watch the
proceedings.
Make a cellar for your incubat TORS,
but see that it can be thoroughly ven-
tilated. Good ventilation is essential
both in the incubator and in the room
containing it.
This is good time to buy or sell the
surplus cockerels that are old enough
to show their good points for breed
ers. Farmers who wish to introduce
good blood into their flock can now get
two or three birds for the price of one
next January.
Farmers interested in pure-bred
poultry should see that the local fair
managers provide proper house for
a poultry exhibit, competent judges,
and proper list of prizes, and then
support the fair by large exhibits.
Pure-bred poultry should have the
same consideration as any other pure
bred stock.

TIE SWINGING TROUGH

fore putting the end pieces on paint a
piece of cloth and place between the
end pieces and the trough. Then, aft
er you have your end pieces on, get a
piece of lath just long enough and fit
between the ends, and nail it length
wise just above the level of the trough.
This will keep the chickens out of the
water. Put two eyes on the top Of the
end pieces to hang it by. Drive stake S
in the ground just far enough apart to
let the trough swing. Put pins in the
top of the stakes to fit the eyes on the
end pieces of the trough. The top of
the trough should be about six inches
above the ground. You can use your
judgment about painting it. If you
do, put some water in it and let it
stand about day before allowing the
chickens access to it.-Poultry Keeper.

sEEDLESS WATERMELONS.
Colorado Statesman Experiments In
Planting and Produces Melon
without Seeds.

The millennium of the co1ored man
has arrived at last. The seedless wa
termelon is fact. The credit of the
discovery is laid at the feet of Col
orado statesman, formerly state SEN
ator there. His name is Swink, and
down to posterity his name should go
along with other benefactors of the
colored race, says the New York
World.
The news will undoubtedly bring JOY
to a population estimated at 10000
600 in the southern states alone. To
how many segregated colored hunger
ers after the red-lined luscious melon
up north can only be vaguely esti-
mated.
The news is true, however. Let it
be. disseminated throughout these
United States. Now is the time, more
over.
It seems that ex-senator Swink, the
discoverer and propagation of the seed"
less melon, lives in Rocky Ford, Col.
Here is the great melon center of the
west. Water and musk melons are
shipped thence by the thousands OF
boxes as far east rs New York and
westward to California. They are first
choice in all high-class fruit stores
throughout the country.
The ex-senator has been working
for years on the seedless melon prop
osition. He saw not only the Afri.
cans Joy, but the pleasure of the
Caucasian as well, and, incidentally, a
lot of money for himself.
Daylight often found him examin-
ing microscopically the seeds of the
luscious watermelon, and his expert
ments in planting often kept him up
at night, experimentally planting and
digging up again melons.
Early one morning he rushed
breathless into the house.
"I've got it, I've done it," he ex-
claimed, and he promptly fell over in
fit of joy, so his family say. They
knew what he meant.
But they had to wait, just the same,
for weeks ana weeks until the young
melons grew to rotundity and ripe
ness.
Only the other day was the discovery
proven to be as true as the eminent
ex-senator had prophesied. He came
into the house carrying a 20-pound
watermelon. With one slash of his
knife he cut the big melon in two, and
10 and behold, as it lay riven apart, not
single seed was to be seen.
OF course, Mr.. Swink has not re-
vealed the secret of his discovery, but
he is satisfied that he can grow the
seedless melon.

are liable, among other things, to be
troubled with what is known as "foul"
feathers coming in the plumage OF 9TH
erwise good birds. Black fowls may
show enough white feathers to spoil
them as breeders and exhibition blrds'
for white disqualities. The bird show
ing it cannot compete for prize. The
Brown Leghorn or even the Plymouth
Rock may be similarly affected. The
beginner with poultry has so many
things to learn that his brain aches
with trying to contain them all at once,
and one of the things which befalls
him often is that he does not by vari-
ETY. and proper balance keep his young
stock growing freely. When, for any
cause Qice is as common one as any,
no doubt) the chicks do not grow lust
lily, when the vigor is in any way i'm
paired, the unfortunate white is GER
tain to appear more or less freely. 1t
is a plain advertisement of lack some
where along the line. Good, muscle
making, bone-forming foods, that will
not give indigestion, together with tho
grit and charcoal that help to ward of
this trouble, and thick, grassy range
we'll set with insects, are the simples
that produce also fine color and gloss
of plumage. In other words, whatever
conduces to strong vitality favors
good plumage; whatever destroys or
Injuries vigor opens the way for false
plumage. The same is true of the old
er stock at the mott. They need every
help that nature can give, in order to
feather to the satisfaction of their
owner. This thought may also bark
back to the previous generations, to
the transmitted constitution received
from the breeding parents. For fancy
stock that will be source of pleasure
and pride, vigor first! And let no one
think to maintain it through many
generations of close-yarded, highly
forced stock. The maximum egg yield
is inconsistent with the best develop
ment and feat Their of fancy stock. That
is, eggs cannot be put first.-Myra V.
