BRoILERS FOR MARKET.
This Is a Business That Pays Quite

pin feathers, which objection does
not hold good with the White Rocks.

also. The idea IS to get a breed that
will stand forcing and will present a
nice appearance dressed at the age
you should market for broilers.
The first day they are fed sand,
after that they should be fed every
two hours during the day The first
week they should be fed rolled oats,
millet seed and cracked corn, sweet
milk, sand and powdered charcoal;
the next week add a mash, and use a
greater proportion of cracked corn;
the third week and on until mar
keted- for breakfast feed cracked
corn, then chopped raw potatoes A
meat mill is the thing for this, then
chopped cabbage, next mash. and last
a full feed of cracked corn. Before
this last meal no more is given than
will be eaten up quickly; if from any
cause they fail to be hungry. miss a
meal Or two. This win generally
bring them around all right The
last few feeds before marketing stir
cotton seed meal and treacle (mo-
lasses) in the mashes; this is to give
them the rich yellow color desired
At the end of the eighth week the
birds should average almost. if not
quite, two pounds each Continuing
this course by Is weeks they should
make SO pound roasters- 1t IS i'm

Gapes frequently attack chicks un-
expectedly. To prevent gapes keep
the chicks perfectly dry ION the barn
floor is the best place. the first four
weeks. If the ground is cold or damp
do not let them out until 1t is dry,
as dampness is one of the causes OF
rapes. Should gapes appear give
crumbs of bread with a few drops OF
t~urpentine on them, or to a pint OF
corn meal add n teaspoonful OF
~turpentine. mix thoroughly. then
scald and feed once a day. See that
every chick eats, and if any refuse

PROFIT FROM HENS.
Those That Lay the Most Eggs IA
Prices Are High Are the P0ul-
tryman-s Best

It is not an easy matter to know
which of your hens are the best lay
ers. Of course, some OF the hem will
lay more eggs than others, yet to find
out which are the more profitable the
record cannot cease with a few hens
Nor is the greatest profit derived
from the hens that lay the largest
number of eggs, but from those hat
lay the greater number when prices
are high. There is more profit III
two dozen eggs at so cents per dozen
than from three al 20 cents a dozen
although the SUMO cents-is the
same for both lots, for the reason
that the cost of two dozen is less
than for three dozen 4 hen may lay
well from April to July, and appar-
emily be an extraordinary layer be
cause she lays an egg every other
dav. but after awhile she may dc
very little, and another hen that does
not seem to be doing her duty, slowly
reaches the number and still keeps
on laying. The record should be.
therefore, kept for a year and an av-
erage for each month made. The best
hens for the year should then be re-
tanned as breeders. from which tc
hatch the next seasons pullets, ano
they should then be mated with q
cockerel of a good laying family, sc
as to secure better progeny than the
parents. The prices, number of eggs
laid, number of chicks Matched ano

hen. should be noted, so as to assist
in the selection with knowledge OF
the characteristics of each, and merit

II you have a piece OF hard land to
break, which IS so baked as TO come
up In clods, we would suggest that you
run over it with a disk or cutaway
harrow ahead Of Plows, and break with
very small scooters, says a southern
farmer. Do not try TO turn such land
If YOU still have clods do not wait for
them to harden. but run a heavy roller
or drag over and follow with some
~pulverizing harrow the same day
An hour or so VIII do this Tor eacn

ize most of them quite easily Run
roller ahead OF harrow so as TO crush
as many as possible, and fasten the
others so that they cannot dodge the
harrows. 1t viii pay TO take time to
do this, your crop can be cultivated
SO much cheaper afterwards; and the
yield viii be so much greater Every
time you go over with harrow and
crushers YOU will increase the yield
of the crop.
We once selected one ere in a
20-acre field, average spot. and
plowed and narrowed this acre IA

acre Just as we did the rest of the field,
running the rows right along through
it. The yield was much more than
double any other acre This has con-
tinued to be true for five years. in all
kinds of crops. All through the grow
ing season this acre can be dlstIn-
guished as far as you a see the field
All crops grow of quicker and yield

IN A SALOON.
Clever GunpIay of a Youth Was Not
So Much OF n ~Tender-FOOt"
as He seemed.

4 stripping of eHeminate rosiness
and neat attire sat in the corner of a
frontier saloon, modest, silent, and as
far out of the way as he could get.
He had stepped from the train. and he
was waiting for the stage It was
starched linen thai he wore: the city
showed quite plainly in his hat, and IL
is still in dispute whether any down
was visible upon his lip. But he was
old enough to be smoking a cigar with
all the appearance of habit The
cigar, also, was not a native of the
town. In fact, the young man made
no purchase upon entering the saloon.
nevertheless the proprietor could
scarcely complain of him. The stran-
ger had asked if he might wait there
for the stage, and had thanked the
proprietor for his permission, relates
Owen Wister, in Everybody's Maya
zine.
Then he had sought his quiet corner
and lighted his cigar.
A citizen walked out of the back
room and up to the bar He had left
a faro game, and the proprietor was
friendly with him, but respectful; that
sort of respect which Is favored deli
cately with Just enough familiarity
TO bring it out. 1t is probable hat the
citizen had had more drinks than the
one he now took 1t is also likely that
faro had not gone as well with him
this morning as he considered his due.
His dissatisfied eye fell upon the rosy
youth and the cigar, and he took the
glass from his lips and held it, consid-
ering the stranger
At length. without removing his
eyes. he inquired: What Christmas
tree did that drop Off"
The proprietor FASTENED to take this
view. Its express tag has f~iuttered
away. l guess" he whispered, loosely.
The citizen remembered his whisky,
swallowed it, set the glass gently
down, gently drew his six-shooter and
shot the cigar TO smash out of the
young mans mouth.
Now. ! do not at all know what
should have done in the young mans
place. Something sensible, I hope.
What the youth did I know / should
not have done. You viii see that his
behavior was out Of the common. he
stopped down, picked up his cigar,
found ii ruined, put it in the spittoon,
got a fresh one out of his pocket,
found a match in his waistcoat, slid il
along the seat of his nice breeches-
lighted the new cigar and settled him
self once more in his chair, without
word Of protest or an attempt at re,
sentiment The proprietor saw him
do it all. and told about II afterward
The citizen took the second cigar
smash, Ike the first. Perhaps he went
q trifie nearer the youths lip.
What were h card players in tho
back room doing at all this noise:
They all lay fat on the floor, like the
well trained, indigenous people that
they were, minding their own bust
ness For there was no rear exit.
The youth felt in his waistcoaf
pocket, but brought no match from it
So he rose with still another fresf
cigar IN his hand, and walked to TIT
bar.
"In have to ask you for a match
he said TO the proprietor, who at onct
accommodated him.
Once again he slid the match be
meath his coat tails, and, bringing u
his own six-shooter, shot the either
as instantly dead as that can be done
