POULTRY PROBLEMS.
Intensive Methods Make the Work Grind
for the Small Farmer.

In its crop report for August, recent
ly issued, the Massachusetts State board
of agriculture includes an article on
''The Management of Poultry on Small
Farms" by John H. Robinson, editor OF
Farm Poultry.
In this article Mr.. Robinson says: A
large farm offers the best opportunity
to keep poultry with little labor and
comparatively large profits, but the
owner of the large farm is not often
much interested in poultry. 1t IS the
small farmers, under the necessity OF
making the most of every opportunity
to make money on their land, who are
attracted by the possibilities OF poultry
culture.
A very large proportion OF the small
New England farms are OF such dlmen-
SionS and proportions thtt the fowls
cannot be given range. Because OF
this many small farmers interested IN
poultry have adopted the intensive
methods which small poultry keepers IN
towns often find necessary, but which
large poultry keepers and farmers
ought to avoid. Intensive methods
make the care of poultry a grind and
drudgery, so that the poultry Keepers
time is almost fully occupied in caring
for a few fowls.
The best solution of the problem of
the small farmer who wants to keep
few hundred hens, and still give most
of his time to other things, will be
found in the adoption of methods inter
mediate between the intensive methods
of the town poultry keeper and the free
and easy methods that work we'll on
large farms.
Mr.. Robinson then goes on to say
that for more than a decade the inter
est of poultry keepers has been almost
monopolized by intensive methods
which are necessary to secure high av-
erages of egg production. These large
egg yields are often secured at such
cost of care and food that the actual
profit per fowl figures small. BY the
colony system the owner OF large
farm will distribute his fowls over the
farm, and, giving them room and range,
relieve himself of the necessity OF doing
for them many of the things which the
intensive poultry keeper must do daily.
Then follows an extended illustration
of the difference between the two
methods, particularly as relates to sup
plving green food, meat food and eXer
else.
What we are seeking, says Mr.. Rob
inson, is a method by which farmers
can keep as much poultry as possible
without giving it the detailed attention
that must be given when the land occu-
pied is stocked to the limit The prob
lem is neither a deep nor a difficult one.
As the farmer who cannot give his
poultry range must have yards, the
obvious thing for him to do is to lay
out his yards according to the size OF
his flocks, limit the total of fowls kept
in the capacity of the yards, make
houses of such dimensions as are re-
CURED, and place them sing y or IN
pairs where they can be most readily
reached in making the rounds of the
place.
In closing, Mr.. Robinson says: Poul-
try keeping ought to be an important
feature on every farm, and pleasant
feature of farm work. 1t may be, IT
the farmer will only study to adapt his
stock and his methods to the capacity
of the farm under conditions satisfac-
tory to him.

Prohibition In the South.

The New 1ork Voice, national organ
of Prohibition, publishes the following
as the situation in six Southern States
with regard to the sale of intoxicants:
Texas-One hundred and thirty-six
counties have total prohibition; so
counties have partial prohibition, and
46 counties have unrestricted sale OF
liquors.
Tennessee-Out of the many cities
and towns in the State, only have I'M
restricted sale of liquors. In only II
OF the SO counties can whisky be sold
legally
Kentucky - Forty seven counties
have total prohibitions; "a have partial
prohibition, and IS have unrestricted
sale OF liquors.
Arkansas-Forty four counties have
total prohibition; counties have par
tial prohibition, and 20 have unrestrict-
ed sale.
Mississippi-Sixty-iiv five counties out
of IS have prohibition, and out of 200
legislators all but a dozen or less have
signitied their approval OF a referen-
dunn for State prohibition.
Georgia-One hundred and three
counties out of 1877 have prohibition.
Florida Eighteen counties local op-
ton.
Statistics, recently compiled, show
that the total number of saloons in the
Southern States is 27,000 against 5000
in New York alone The Literary
Digest quotes Alonzo E. Wilson, chair
man of the State Prohibition Commit
tee of Illinois, in an explanation OF
the Southern situation. He says the
decrease in the number of saloons ''is
largely due to the constantly increasing
feeling that liquor must be kept away
from the negro, and that public sale
must accordingly be stopped There
are few foreigners in the South, he
says and native Americans, as a rule,
believe in temperance theories" This,
he declares, 'gives the temperance SEN
timent, once it gets started, chance
to spread, and it is spreading rapidly"
| On the other hand, the sweeping prog
ress of prohibition in Texas is ex-
planned by the Galveston News to be
/ the result of 1.-The failure of liquor
dealers to obey just and reasonable
regulations attaching to their license. "
This failure of the saloon men to OBJ
serve the laws regulating the sale OF
| liquors, the News says, has caused
| them to be rated as lawlesS class, and
has induced many persons TO vote fol

Capt. Candage Heard From.

Capt. Candage of the schooner New
Boxer, who was reported to have sailed
from Boothbay all alone because he
could not get crew to ship with him,
put into Salem Harbor last week. He
says that the story that he was at any
time alone is not true nor did he think
of going to sea alone. He left Boston
with lumber for Stetson, Cutter & Co.,
and put into Boothbay, where his one
man left him. He shipped another man
and later, when he put into Portland,
this man left him. He then shipped a
second man and sailed for Boston. Fol
nine days he lay off Cape Porpoise wait

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perma-
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop
ing cough is not dangerous when this
remedy is given. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful substance and may
be given as confidently to baby as to
an adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands, as we'll as at
home, esteem this remedy very highly
and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used it. For
