Remedy The Defect in Fire Department.

Fires have been s..arlningly frequent here in
the past two weeks, ard entirely 100 much so for
the eqnaimnity the place In TWO instances The
properties were Writ lolly destroyed. The ire de
partment service proved inadequate upon these
occasions. Although the city boasts Of one OF the
finest water works systems in the state, yet there
is a large defect or two in the fire department.
This defect is almost criminal negligence upen the
part of the city authorities and should be remeded
at once The remedy has been suggested by the
Telegram on several previous occasions, but no
heedhas ever been paid. 1t Is now urgent that We
EwaI b. The members of the various hose com
panies do heroic work, but they need to be rel:ev-
ed of steed service. Let the city council establish
regular fire department headquarters, buy horses
and hose wagons and pay or two men to be on
duty every hour OF the day and night. Establish
an electric block alarm system Have everything
ready to fly at moments notice. The members
of the hose company will then not wear themselves
out dragging hose carts and will be fresh and
ready for powerful duty when they arrive at the
scene of the fire, This plan will cost a trifing
compared with the destruction of property neces
sarily following failure to adopt it. Let something
be done at once.

The Recognition Of Brosddus,

DR.. S. l.. SwarM and Broaddus Institute are
to be congratulated upon the recognition shown
the institution by John D. Rockefeller, the great
Standard Oil magnate, as chroncled in another

Rockefeller DR.. Swarn, together with Rev. L. w.
Holden, raised the past year by personal solicisa-
ton S4,ooo for the school, besides engineering the
deal with Col Luther Raymond for the large cam
pus grounds the Institute now owns. His efforts
have resulted IN concentrating upon the school

financial succor from many outside of the demon,
ination, And under his management the enroll
ment has been increased thirty three per cent.
Every person Interested in Broaddus should see
that the conditions OF Mr.. Rockefeller's gift are
met, that the way may be paved for greater recog'
milton in the future

Of that body making other undesirable changes, if

with roomy coops 50 that the

The Show Room an Educator

Poultry shows are not only an
educator for the fancier, but all
who attend if they desire it to
be. There is not breeder who
is not glad to answer any ques-
tons asked him regarding his
stock, and especially point out
the good qualities and show why
his stock won or lost, and by
having these points explained,
and pairing one with the other,
it is an object lesson that can not
be learned in any other way.
There are very few people who
understand what it takes to con-
stitute a good bird-that is, from
a fanciers' standpoint. 1t is a
very common thing to hear
person say, when standing be-
fore a coop of chicks in the show
room, Isn't that fine chicken,
my, that's a fine fellow" and
they were, to one who knows
nothing about chickens, any
more than to admire them for
their large size; but after the
judge has passed judgement it
was found that these chicks fail
ed to even get place The
show room offers an interesting
study, and should be more large
lly attended. - Farmers Home

Poultry on Farms.

If the farmers will make poultry
a specially on the farm and the
fiocks be increased to a number
that would permit the farmer to
devote his attention thereto, the
profit received in proportion to the
labor bestowed would be larger
than that derived from cattle. In
fact, considering that the fowls on
the farms really receive little or no
care is alone sufficient evidence
that with excellent management
and the use of selected breeds the
farmer would be more favorable TO
poultry If he would make the ex-
pertinent So long have the farm
ers overlooked poultry that it is
surprising how many inquiries
come from that class asking infor-
nation on the methods of manage
ment, yet these farmers are well
familiar with the care and manage
ment required for horses, cattle,
sheep and swine.
1t is, hoA ever, creditable 10 such
farmers that they are disposed to
learn more, and they will make no
mistake in placing the poultry de-
partment Of the farm upon plane
higher than that occupied. The
course to pursue is to gradually in
crease the flock every year, and
not venture too largely at first, so
as to gam experience while learn
ing the business, and in a few
years there viii be a good profit
coming in from poultry, the capital
invested therein having been Gre
ated by the foW Is during the pro.
gress of development of the BUSH
ness. Leave the female members
Of the family out, for they will not
be able to attend to large focks,
and begin in the poultry business
with a determin alton to succeed in
few years, securing as much
profit as possible with the least
outlay for building and labor.
1t Is not difficult TO keep two or
three hundred hens on a farm, and
two or three hundred dollars thus
picked up VIII buy all the extras
which the farmer finds necessary
TO purchase during the year. In
this way he need not go in debt for
the numerous small things which
cannot be produced on the farm,
and which Of necessity must be
purchased Every time he goes to
town he can sell chickens and eggs
enough to pay for his purchase, 1t
is the small things on the farm that
run up a profit or losss in the ag-
gregate, and poultry raising is one
Of the most important, though most
neglected, industries on the farm.
Other countries have found profit
in poultry, and are shipping to
America 10 supply the demand
which should be met right here at

carefully the best specimens
from your flock. Choose those
that are best in all sections ac-
cording to your reading of the
Standard. Have ready for each
fowl coop at least 2x3 feet in
size and sufficiently tall to allow
a three-lnch space between the
comb of the fowl and top of coop
when fowl stands erect. In the
bottom of each coop put clean
soft straw and fasten a tin cup
to one side for water. Arrange
the coops under shelter so the
birds will be free from draught
but will have plenty of light and
ventilation. Feed regularly three
times each day, paying attention
to the co'or, weight and plumage
of the fowls. Keep good, sharp
grit before them all the time.
Each bird should be noticed
careful y and fed only what it
will eat up clean at each feeding.
For morning feed give wheat
and oats. AT noon green food
and table scraps aud at night
cracked corn. The corn will
build them up in weight more
quickly than any other food.
Three times each week give
them a small handful of sun
flower seed. These are to give
lustre to the plumage. About
twice a week feed a rumbly
mash of bran, meat and oats
mixed with sweet milk. This
will keep the bowles 10 proper
condition and will aid in building
up muscle and frame. At each
feeding accustom the bird to be-
ing handled. In the show room,

home in his coop will, be more
likely to win a blue ribbon than
one that flutters and throws it.
