Will Grover Cleveland be the next Democratic nominee for President? It begins to look that way now.

FEEDING NEW CORN.
Too Free Use Of the Crop in an Immn-
ture Condition Is Sure 10
Breed Disease.

The late condition of the corn crop last
year resulting in so much of it being soft
and not in condition to keep doubtless
will cause many 10 be very short of old
corn this year. Such 4 condition fosters
the heavy feeding of very new corn. We
wish to caution against too free use of
the new crop in an immature condition.
or for that matter after it gets fairly well
ripened up. As all during this time ii is
very palatable and contains sufficient
moisture to make it very easily con-
sumed. the tendency is for an animal to
0vereat. This is especially true of the
hog, whose ration usually consists more
largely of concentrates than is the case
with other animals. The present price
of corn will doubtless have very bene-
fetal effect in this direction. 1t will be
much easier to allowance the hog than
it would be if corn were low in price
This relatively high price of corn will
also simplify the problem by lessening
the objection to the purchase Of substi-
tute feeds to use as a part of the ration.
Feed the new corn quite sparinsly at
first. If necessary to begin while it is in
the milk, or even in the dough stage ii is
good plan to feed the whole plant and
let them eat what they will of the fodder.
Then increase the feed gradually and be
careful to never overfeed. and we believe
you will have gone a long way toward
preventing an outbreak OF disease in the
herd.-Prairie Farmer.

ABOUT GUINEA FOWLS.
Points That should He Remembered
by All Who Are Engaged in
Raising Them

Guinea fowls have dark colored flesh,
nut il is very palatabIe.
lnbreeding results in rendering the
birds tender and reduces their size.
The young of birds given their free
dom are hardy and Will follow their
mother as soon almost as they are out
of the shell; at least they are good
trampers after they are day old. The
Young live on bugs and seeds Giscoy cred
for them BY the mothers
In the early laying season the birds
will lay their eggs anywhere. and several
will deposit their eggs in the same local
ity. When about to sit they seek sep
aration and lay a dozen or more eggs in
4 hidden nest, where they iucubate them
The eUineas differ from common fowls
in that the males are as anxious about
the brood as is the hen. and helps take
care Of them during the day time, tor
saking them at night
Guinea hers and their broods forage
IN body. the old males helping to Keep
up the laggards Of the line AT night
each mother collects her own brood
The young at very early age learn to
roost in the trees, even before they can
reach the branches by flying They half
fly and half run up the trunk of the tree
Guinea eggs are very fertile. and a
large percentage of the birds Matched
live if they are permitted to run wild
with their mother

PATCHING CHICKENS.
Six Points Clearly Established by
Tests Conducted by Canadian
Government Experts

The results of experiments in fatten~
ing chickens for market in Canada are
given as follows, by the chief of that
division. He says:
l. That pure-bred or high-grade
chickens can be reared more cheapIy in
the fattening crates, and present bet
Ter market appearance than do COM
mon chickens or scrub" chickens.
2. That there is more profit in placing
well-fatted chickens on the market than
in marketing lean chickens.
3. That four months old is the most
profitable age at which to market
chickens
4. That heavy chickens are not gen.
orally as salable as medium weight ones
5. That the type of chicken desired in
Canada or Great Britain is young.
plump bird. with broad. full breast.
white-colored fish. white or yellow col
oFed legs. without feathers or spurs. and
with a small head
G. That crate fattening of chickens is
the farmers business; that it does not
require a large outlay to fatten 100 or
200 chickens; that the chickens are fed
from troughs. and that machine feeding
is not necessary.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-10-15

Each part is two feet long. 1G inches wide
and 20 inches high, which experiments
have shown to be the best size
The coops are placed out of doors in
the shade, either under trees or in an
open shed, but in severe weather should
be placed in a closed building. A small
N-shaped trough is used to hold the
Iced, and water is supplied in a cup,
which may be fastened to the stats.
Young chickens from four to six
months OF age are commonly used for
tattening. About four are placed in
coop, where they are fed three times
daily, as much as they will eat of ground
grain, chiefly oats. At or near the end
Of the period of fattening. which lasts
from four to six weeks. little tallow is
added to the feed, which at all times is
mixed with skim milk
In a trial with 100 chickens. Prof
James w Robinson, of Canada found
that they almost doubled in weight in
36 days of feeding. For every pound
of increase in live weight they consumed
S.44 pounds of ground oats and 643
pounds skim milk At one dollar per
100 pounds for ground oats and 20 cents
per 100 pounds skim milk, the cost was
nearly Ga cents per pound gain for feed
only.
While the increase in weight was
nearly 100 per cent. this gain was mostly
of flesh. Three chickens dressed before
iattening weighed, with feathers off.
eight pounds and eight ounces. their
bones weighed one pound two ounces,
and the edible meat two pounds six
ounces. After this period of fattening,
three chickens. of the same quality at
The start, weighed with feathers off Is
pounds four ounces, and the edible meat
seven pounds six ounces. Not only was
there gain Of about 200 per cent. in edi-
Bile meat, but it was of much better quail
ity. If all fowls when fatted for the
market are confined for a month in
CoOps of this kind and fed in similar
manner. they will return a much higher
price and greater profit.-Orange Judd

Some poultry farmers claim that
they can make more money in rails

they can with broilers. On the other
hand, there are poultrymen who say
the profits are decidedly in favor Of

broilers would have very little sale.
while in other sections there is a
great call for them. Where the mar
