OATS FOR CHICKENS.
One of the Most Valuable Feeds for
Farm Poultry of All Kinds,
Ages and Conditions.

| consider oats one of the best
feeds we have for poultry of all kinds
n ages. l buy oat screenings of the
oat meal mills and moisten it with
milk for my small chicks and nothing
could make them grow faster or de-
velop into better fowls. If farmers
would only try this feed in place of
the corn meal that they use they
would soon learn that it is not only
cheaper, but that it is much better
for the chicks. When they get a lit
tie older I pour boiling water or
whole oats and when cold feed this
to the chicks, I always feed, oats
mixed with cor and wheat to my
adult fowls and could not do with
out them. For this purpose the
heavy white oats are the best. When
feeding whole oats to either fowl.
or chicks one must keep plenty OF
grit before them in order to avoid
crop troubles. If farmers would ge:
away from the corr they feed their
fowls and give more cf a variety, in
Guiding oats and wheat, they would
increase their egg yiefl and have
healthier and better chickens. Simply
because they do not raise anything
but corn is no excuse for feeding it,
for they could sell some of the tori.
they feed and invest in a few bushtl
of wheat with profit to themselves

POULTRY

Light, nutritious and easily digest
ed food is what fowls in confinement
need.
The man who is too mean to pro-
vide a comfortable coop for the hen
and brood doesn't deserve success.
Feed little chicks on a clean board,
which should be often cleansed and
dried in the sun or by artificial heat.
If eggs become rotten it is absolute
proof that they were fortified, that
the germ of life started and then
died.
Brooder chicks never haxe@gapes,
which proves that filth gathered
from the, ,yards-is ethe~cause-of tbs

Inc young ducks must be trained
10 Know where home is by regular

not belong to him.
Besides, it is dangerous; for 1.-THE
ducks to be fooling around where
logs are. An, old mother hog soon
develops quite a fondness for duck
meat after once getting a taste. The
oueks are not active enough to get
away from the porkers, and they will
soon consume every duck within
reach. We have known them to run
down grown ducks.
u is much easier to ducks
than chickens when a rain is COMING

the chicks must be coaxed. The
chicks will scatter in all directions
when one attempts to drive them.

lt Will soon~be time to begin pick
ing the old ducks if you have decided
YOU want feathers instead of eggs.
They won't produce both. They won't
lay very many eggs anyway when
very warm weather comes, so that
likely it will pay better to save the
1eathers. Ii one has no use for them
at home, there is always a ready sale
for them, often right in ones own
locality. There are so many people
who cling to feather beds, even if
they are out of date; and there are
many who would rather buy feathers
than to bother with a flock of ducks
or geese. The strong smell that new
feathers have will leave them if they
are thoroughly aired for a few days
before using. them for beds or pill

the early part Of the year 1902 l had
been a sufferer from kidney troubles
for many years. The pain in my back
became worse and worse until it was a
daily burden that interfered with every
duty. l was much afflicted with head
aches and dizzy spells and was unable
to rest well nights. In May 1902 after
using Doan's Kidney Pills I made a
statement for publication declaring
that they had entirely relieved me of
the pain in my back. Ihave since then
had a years time in which to study the
effects of the medicine, and while l
have had slight touches of the trouble
since, the use of the pills has always
driven away all signs of the disorder
and I have become convinced of the
fact that the first treatment was prac-
tically permanent in it's effects, and !
know that a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
lseptSon hand is a sufficient guarantee
against any suffering from the kidneys
or back. I should advise every sufferer
to take Doan's Kidney Pills, ~andIknow

give up thejob, if you do not wish
to run the riskaof manning Her. At
.when shelstands in the
center, several bees caressing her,
make m grasp for the wings with
the right hand, Just between the alb
domen and the thorax. Do not be
afraid of crushing the wings;# but be
careful to- avoid .pinching or: punch
ing the queen on the comb. and espe-
cially squeezing her soft abdomen.
If you catch her right, she :will be
as shown in Fig. 1. She will bend
the abdomen over, and reach with
her hind legs around behind in the
effort, just as shown, to push:the fin
gers away. With the left: hand,
eatch:hold of her between the; thumb
and fore finger in such a way that
the finger will be on top and the
thumb beneath. (See Fig 81 IF you
grab her by the waist you need not
be afraid Of hurting her. for this pos
tion@of her anatomy will stand con-
siderable pressure without injury.
With the right hand take a Fair OF
scissors and clip one wing at about
the point shown in the illustration
Gig. 81: but do not clip both wings
as there shown. In putting the
queen back on the comb, be very
careful not to let her drop: Let$her
down gently on the comb, or raise
the forefnger and let her crawl from
the thumb on to the comb" @
I have seen some veterans who pre-
ferred to grab bold of the queen as
shown in Fig. .. She is first picked
IN as shown in I, then she is caught
by the legs as shown in 2. While a
veteran can hold a queen in this way,
the average beginner would be liable
to squeeze too hard and pull her legs
off; then if you grab one leg only.
the queen will revolve round and
round till she twists it off, and in all
probability take wing. The plan
shown in i and 3 is the safer to en-
ploy.
There will be times whensone does
not have handy a pair OF scissors.

new school laws enacted by the

measures and amendments are only
in keeping with the best educational
movements IN other States, and the
promoters of them in West Virginia,
are to he congratulated IN their sue
cessful efforts along this line:
Senate Bill 20, introduced by
Senator Campbell, provides that
every teacher attending a county
institute shall receive $l.5C per day.
Senate Bill -, introduced by
Senator Forman, empowers Boards
OF Education to hold special cleo
tions for the purpose of laying taxes.
Senate Bill 27, introduced by
Senator Carrigan, provides that any
school board in the State may, out
OF the building fund, purchase the
necessary prescribed text books to
be used by the pupils Of the schools
under their control
House Bill 1913, introduced by
Mr.. Shawkey, gives W. more perfect
compulsory school law, curing the
defects in the old, and making it in
reality a compulsory law.
House Bill I34, introduced bv
Mr.. Bowman, abolishes the present
county system of examinations and
provides for uniform system
throughout the State.

The memory of the old regime is
too fresh in the minds of the people
ot this State for n Democrat To talk
about the management of public fl
nances. After thirty years of Demo
cratic control the Republican party
received from Democracy hands a
good, big round deficit and an insult.
tclent lot of State institutions, half
equipped and their officers living on
starvation wages, and, in six short
years, the deficit has been converted
into a surplus, the leaks stopped,
the revenues gathered in, the insti-
tutions equipped, their officers paid
and an immense sum devoted to the
education of the people in the free
schools of the State. The Index's
argument is not lame; it is rash.

ing Its party to the drubbing they
are sure to suffer at the hands of the
honest, thinking men of the State.
