A HOSPITAL WILL
SOON BE BUILT
Project Only Held in
Abeyance by Our
Physicians.

The intention OF erecting a hos
pital at Vinita, mentioned at var
ious times heretofore. has never
been abandoned by our physicians
but is only deferred until there is
greater prospect Of the enterprise
becoming self-supporting. l. is
hardly 10 be expected that such
an institution a. would meet the
requirements of this section for
any great while would pay now, but
il is growing to be an imperative
necessity. No patient, requiring
either medical or surgical atten-
tion. can be as satisfactorily treat
cd at home as in hospital, for
many and various reasons. But
particularly, is this the case in
surgery. where greater quantity
of appliance is employed 10 one
manner or another, aud the sur
geon OF reputation il loath to
operate in difficult cases and take
the risks which beset home or ho.
lei nursing.
The estimated outlay for what
Vinita needs in this line is be-
tween three and tour thousand
dollars The popular manner of
constructing hospital Of late
years is upon the cottage plan.
The office, operating and living
rooms OF the force are in central
building, but the patients are kept
10 email two room cottages, sur.
rounding, instead Of in wards. so
termed, as formerly. By this
meAns all disturbance Of one pa
by others is avoided and there are
also great many other advsn-
tages which will be apparent.
There is no hospital in the
northern part of the territory and
the result is that great many
persons go to the city for treat
ment who had as well besn treat.
cd at home if accommodations were
available Ii is not a month since
a physician OF Vinita took pa
tient to Ksnsas City to operate up
90, for no other reason than that
there was no place here where
hospital facilities, inclu9tag nurs-
ing was available. Another
practitioner took patient to his
own home and kept her without
expense, pending recovery. and
so, every few weeks arisee case
where the hospital is needed.
That tits to be provided at no
very distant day is source Of
qualification

How Geese Are Fnttened.

The following method of fattening
is adopted by the English goose farm
err: Geese in good condition should be
shut up in a quiet place, shaded from
light, where they cannot see other
geese at liberty, and should be kept
there from twenty to twenty-five days.
1t is beneficial to let them out for
about fifteen to thirty minutes the
first thing in the morning and again
in the evening about dusk. The meals
they get should be nutritious and a
mixture of barley meal, wheat meal, a
little cornmeal and boiled potatoes
given twice a day is good. About the
last ten or twelve days it is advisable
to mix a little finely chopped rough fat
with the meal. This has the effect Of
Pumping them up, rendering their
flesh much more palatable. A trough
of clear water should be supplied the
birds after the evening meal.

INCUBATOR POINTERS.

Don't feed sloppy feed to chicks,
Ducks will do we'll on it, but chicks die
when fed such feed.
Keep the brooder clean all the time
Do not neglect this, for upon cleanli.
ness depends success.
The hatch that is not finished by thu

Begin turning the eggs at the END Of
two days from the time the incubator
is started and do not turn them attn
the eighteenth day.
Eggs that are ill-shaped, or that have
rough>shells or those having thick and
thin spots in the shell seldom hatch well
and should be rejected.
Do not open the egg chamber after
the chicks begin to pip the shell, until
the hatch is finished, unless it is abso
lutely necessary to do so.

The poorest stand was from 1Hs to two
feet high, but most of it was three feet
or better. We sow three bushels to
the acre, half and half by measure,
thoroughly mixed on the barn foor,

oats seem to have no trouble in get
ting up in time to support them. With
a large acreage, or other crops need
ing attention at about the same time,
we begin to cut when there are peas
"big enough to eat" The oats are
mostly well headed out by that time,
but we are governed by the condition
of the "clover" (peas) part of the COM
bination.
We generally let the hay lie undis-
turbed in the swath for about "a hours
after cutting, then it is tedded and the
next day we drive over it with the
loader, which ticks it up on the wag-
on from the swath. In all, we hayed
over 16 acres, about four acres being

was quite a second growth by the time
we were through with the lot 1.-TWO

hay was rained on the night after
cutting, and or four days thereafter
we were kept from it by intermittent
rain. 1t finally went into the barn
in much better shape than timothy and
clover-especially the iatter-would
under the same circumstances. The
peas generally had pretty good color
though the oats were decidedly strawy

A WORD ABOUT DUCKS.
n Managed ON Correct Principles the
Culture of Good Breeds Re
suits in Profit.

Is there any money in ducksF IN
doubtedly, But in some seasons 1t re-
quires careful computation, n close
attention to small details to receive
paw adequate to the expense, u
and time expended.
Is there more profit in ducks than
there is in chickens? That depends on
several things; on the flock OF DUCKS
on the flock of chickens, but more yet
upon the person that has charge OF
the focks. There are quicker returns
received from a flock of ducks than
from chickens, and less outlay is nee
essary in the way of fences and build
ings. 9he per cent. of fertility is high
er with ducks eggs than with chicks,
and the loss from death is much less
but unless one is careful as to small
details, will stay at home to give duck
lings their meals at regular times, Is
also a careful seller, and sells just at
the right time, ducks will soon "eat
their heads off" as far as any prott
is concerned, for they are very greedy
eaters, and unless they are rushed
from the end of the first week, until
they are marketable, at eight or ten
weeks, the feed bill will probably come
to as much as the check for the ducks
sold. Besides the slower gain, the
price drops in chunks after a certain
time. This time differs in different
markets, but it is usually in June that
the bottom falls out of the duck mar
kets. Some years it is a few days
earlier than others, so it is best to be
on the safe side by having the ducks
out as early as possible. The drop
from 10 cents per pound one week to
five cents the next, is surely enough
of a drop to cause almost anyone to
hustle the ducks to market.
A combination of chicks and ducks
is the happiest for an all around prof
it producer, but they must be combined
| separately, else the combination will
cause the owner more trouble and los:
| than all the trust combinations il
| the business. Ducks and chicks viii
not thrive in the same yard. Thu
ducks may get along all right, but wo'

for incubators. In fact it is necessar.
to have old hens or wooden %incubators
o Ducks are no good for this bushes
t in the spring. While the hens are in
n cubating their avn and the ducks eggs
the ducks will be filling the egg basket
then the youpg ducks will be for sal
g before any chicks. When the duck

the day raises the tempe nature, which
falls again at night. A simple way out
of this difficulty is to put on an addi-
tionsl roof, leaving an air space be-
tween the two as in ae illustra-
ton. The first roof can he covered
with cheap boards and roofing paper,
held in place with lath batten-.
The outer roof should be singled, as
a black roof absorbs the heat rapidly.
Unless the house is built in a Link or
partly under ground, it shoTld be

were sheathed up in the inside making
a second air space.-Farm and Horne.

OATS AND FIELD PEAS.
ohio Farmer Explains Why He Pre-
fers This Combination to
Timothy and 1Over

After some years of repeated disap-
pointment in trying to get paying
crops of timothy and clover on our
light sandy loan, we began in lS9s to
try oats and field peas, cutting some
to feed green into the cows and haylng
the rest. The result is that we have
since made them our regular hay crop,
abandoning timothy entirely but still
whacking away at the clover because
we hate 10 give it up. A fine stand of
clover secured last year, sown IN July
with buckwheat, nearly all winter
killed, and the ground (six acres) went
to swell our oat and pea acreage TINS
spring to over\20 acres.
Here is a photo showing the growth
