HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN.
War Department Plans for an Army
of Full Strength.

According to the present plans of the
War Department the army is to be re-
cruited to it's full authorized strength of
100000 men. The regular army now con-
sists Of about $1,000 men, including Ahe
troops in the Philippines. SO that the new
enlistments are limited to about $4,000 men.
1t is realized by the officials that it will
take long time to secure so many men,
but the full machinery of the army is being
exerted in that direction with gratifying re-
suits. Over 400 recruits were secured last
week, and it is expected that much better
progress will be made when all the recruit
ing agencies are in full operation.

Buzz1NGs FROM BEEDoM.

The young and unsealed brood
should always occupy the center of the
brood nest.
The best time to improve the bees
by selecting and breeding is early in
the season.
The apiary should be kept neat and
tidy, clear of all kinds of grass, weeds
and rubbish Of all kinds.
It is unwise to draw from moderate
" strong stocks too early in the sea-
son to strengthen weak ones.
In spreading brood combs and in
sertfng empty combs. care must be
taken not to spread too rapidly.
In order to obtain the greatest
amount of honey swarming orincrease
must be controlled to some extent.
The principal objection to clipping
the wings of the queen to prevent
swarming is the liability of losing the
queen.
Bees must have. plenty of water con-
venient. In the spring if little salt
is added all the better. A salt barrel
with water in it will do.
So far as can be done it will be found
very desirable to keep each variety
of honey separate when it is stored
throughout the seas0n.-National Ru-

COOP AND RUN FOR CHICKS.

small slide door is made on one side
of the coop, and the run is placed so
the opening in the side comes oppo-
site this door. At night the chicks
can be shut in the coop by closing the
slide door, and this makes it easy to
move them to fresh ground frequent->
". When the chicks are thus inclosed
they are safe from all animals or what
ever could harm them. Last year I
had brood of 80, all broodeit by one
hen, in such coop and run, and did
not lose one of them, while formerly
1 always lost some of them by the
hawks, rats. cats or other animals. I
was not bothered with chicks running
over the lawn or garden.
The same coop and run were used for
setting hens. / used small portable
boxes for nests, and when I have a

one of these coops and set her on some
old eggs, and when get three or four

are given to the hens, as one hen can
brood from 25 to 30 chicks, if the
weather is not too cold. When you set
hen in such a coop, with run attached,
she can go out in the run and get her
food and water, and dust herself. She
cannot get away, and there is but little
danger of her leaving her eggs. For
making the coops buy large boxes at
the stores, and the cost of coop and
run has only been about two dollars
when they were made by carpenter.
The wire netting will not cost oEef
so cents, and If one does the carpenter
work the expense will be small. /
would especially recommend this plan
of raising chickens to people living
in villages.-W. Fl. jenkins, in n. Y.

Peafow1s are not only ornamental
but excellent for the table. They are
slow ia reaching maturity, and the hen
seldom lays before she is two years
old. The chicks, however, grow very
rapidly at FIRST, but as they begin to
feather almost at the start Of life
they require frequent feeding or they
vim perish. They soon begin to fiy,
and roost ON the highest positions

CROPS ron POULTRY.


Where poultry ID raised in large num-
bers on the so-called poultry farms II
will pay well to put in special crops to
supply the required green food. Plen-
ty of greens are essential in late fall
and during winter, If best egg results
are to be attained. There are NUM-
Der of things that are suitable to plant
for the purpose. II there is q field
that the fowls can have access to dur
ing winter-that is. if it is located
near enough to their quarters-crim-
son clover planted about the middle
of August will make splendid
ter pasture and will supply required
nitrogen for egg-making to form
balanced ration with other food given.
The clover can be turned under early
in May or before with great benefit to
the land, sosthe crop can be made to
serve double purpose. Rye can be
used in the samesway, but it is not con-
sidered as valuable for either purpose
as the crimson clover. OF the root
crops mangles are excellent, Us they
can be used for greens and may also be
boiled and utilized to mix with the
regular morning meal. Turnips and
rutabagas are. also good poultry
crops. If the turnips are planted
near the henhouse it is good plan to
leave some of the turnips in the
ground. The hens will take great de-
light on favorable winter days in pick
ing ut them, and the exercise will do
them good. Farmers who do much
truck gardening have considerable
waste that is not marketable that
could be used in the poultry yard with
much profit. Poultry that are sup
piled during winter with IN allow
ance of bulky green food do much
better than when the diet is mainly
grain. In fact, the aim should always
be at all seasons to provide the flock
each day with bulky food of some
kind. Close observation will show
that hens confined to limited space
are always eager for bulky food. They
will eat dry shattered clover tops and
sometimes dry grass rayenously. There
is plenty of time to. put in poultry
crops, and it will be good investment
to do it.-Baltimore Sun.

LONDON WAS LIKE BOMBAY.
Time when the Streets Were I'm a

breeding Condition.

If explanation is required for the
large diffusion in 1865 (of the plague),
it is no doubt to be found in the
character of the population of Lon
don at that time and 90 years later,
when, as Macaulay tells us, "the
pavement was detestable; all foreign
ers cried shame upon it. The drain
age was so bad that in rainy weather
the cutters soon became torrents.
Several facetious poets have COM
memorated the fury with which these

and vegetable filth from the stalls

The conditions which now are seen
to foster plague in eastern countries
were then everywhere present in Lon
don, says the Lancet. These condi-
lions have passed away. London still
has its slums, but the worst have
gone and only in small proportions
is population to be found compar-
able to that which made up the mass
of the people in 1865. 1t is a some
what striking fact that the London
county council is now engaged in the
clearance Of the Clare Market area,
which was the abode of fashionable
people in the time Of the great
plague. Conditions involving want of
air and light, bar arrangement of the
houses and streets, which were then
deemed adequate for the well-to-do,
are not now regarded as fit for the
poorest of the population of modern
London.

Poorly dressed poultry is not want
ed on the markets of any city. 1t will,
indeed, self-always sell, but it brings
no profit. There are in the cities two
classes of buyers the buyers ofsfirst-
class goods and the buyers Of the poor
and cheap. The latter class is the one
that takes the poorly dressed poultry.
Most Of the buyers Of this poor stock
make q business of it. They stand
around waiting till the commission
men are anxious to get rid Of the poor

THE AMERICAN BREEDS.
Many Promising Plymouth Rocka
and .Wyandottes Are Positively
Spoiled by Overweight.

Farm-Poultry, an influential Bos-
ton publication, has of late been inyit-
ing opinions concerning the proper
weight of the American breeds of
chickens, among which are the Ply
mouth Rocks and the Wyandottes.. We
should say that fully two-thirds of
the breeders who have expressed
themselves on the subject take the po-
sition that the standard weight is too
high. It is claimed that the medium
sized birds of these families are al
most Invariably better layers than
those which meet the demands of the
standard in regard to weight. One
well-known poultry judge, in his con-
tribution to the discussion, says that
not more than one Plymouth Rock in
12 which pass through his hands at
the shows is up to standard weight. If
the men who patronize the shows meet
with difficulty in getting their birds up
to standard weight, how much more of
task it must be for farmers who,
as rule, can give but fraction of
their time to the study of the prob
LENS Of the poultry yard And if this
heavy weight is obtained at the sacri-
flee Of the laying qualities why not
scnt IL down? Some advertisers take
great pains to have it known that their
birds are fully up to standard weight.
Farmers should know that they can
easily pay more money for that kind
s Of Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes
than they are worth.
