WATER FOR POULTRY,
Chickens Should Have q Bountiful
Supply Before Them or They
Will Not Thrive.

There is no more important thing in
the poultry yard than pure water, and
whilst duck or goose must have
enough to swim in, yet the fact is tina +
chick will drink as much water as
either, though they will not swim for
the pleasure of it as will an aquatic
fowl. Water should be placed in YES
sells in some shady nook protected
from the sun. The cooler the water,
the purer and better will be the re-
suits. Chicks, like any other creature,
will contract disease from filthy wa
ter and foul drinking pans. The best
way we have ever found is to procure
earthenware fountains or have large
fountain made of galvanized iron and
placed in box with the north side
open for the chicks to drink. This ar
rangement will keep the water cool
and by replenishing each day the wa
ter will keep fresh and sweet. Little
chicks especially should have water
before them all the time, as they are
liable to drink to excess and produce
collie if the. water is not where they
can get it when desired. Poultry
should have the same care and atten-
ton as the other stock on the farm
and the same humanity exercised for
it's comfort as any other. syou know
yourself what privation the lack Of
good water is. think of the poor dumb
brute under your care and provide for
it as we'll. "a mercifuf man is merci-
full Ito his breast. Farmer and

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Bees must have plenty of ventila-
ton when being moved.
1t is impossible for the bees to Sc
crete wax in cold weather.
For quietness of disposition and
wide-awake business the Italian bees
are not excelled.
Disturbing bees during cold wealth
er is one of the most disastrous things
that can be done.
The hives left on the summer
stands should have protection of some
kind against winter winds.
The best temperature to winter
bees in the cellar is as near AZ to As
degrees as they can be kept.
To have bees do we'll during the
winter they must be kept very quiet,
with no disturbance whatever.
Having a good force of young bees
to go into the winter is as important
as anything connected with the fail
management.
Have plenty of young bees and plen-
ty of stores in the hives to carry
them through until the honey season
opens in the .spring.-Rural World.

b b, are nailed across both top and
bottom to hold the uprights in place
and make the frame firm. Supports
for the nest boxes are wires, desig-
mated by in the diagram, and to
put them in place holes are augered
through all the boards, which is best
done before the rack is put together.
Strips might we'll be used in place of
the wires and would give additional
strength. If wire is used, it will prove
most satisfactory if kept tight.
The nest boxes are made of one-half
inch lumber. They are 111s inches
wide, IL inches long and five inches
deep. The bottom is made to project
six inches, providing step for the
hens to alight on. The space above the
boxes would depend partly on the
breed of poultry, but with boxes five
inches high 14-inch space between
wires will be sufficient. The improved
nest boxes have the advantage of be-
ing light, easily made and readily
cleaned.-Orange Judd Farmer.

ssyNhv ne n Earmer?',

The above were the first words of an
advertisement in one of my papers.
1 will try to answer the question, al
though it is not often give any at
tention to an advertisement. Why be
a farmer? Because it is one of the
grandest and most honorable callings
of life; because it is calling that does
not require the little tricks of trade
to be successful; because the farmer
is the one person il all the world that
is independent of the rest of the world.
The farmer can live independently of
others, but it would be impossible for
others to live without the farmer,
though they look down on the farmer
as one beneath them. There has been
larger percentage of farmers that
have arisen to distinction than men of
any other calling.-Enos c. Pittman, in

THE THREE-OUNCE EGO.
It Ia the Most Desirable Product 2os
the Hen Yard and Should Ne
y Made the Standard.

Every observant person knows now
widely eggs differ in size, shape and
color; every experienced poultryman
knows how much these qualities are
dependent on the breed, food and age
of the hen, For instance, the Minorca
and Mediterranean breeds have repu-
tation for producing very large eggs,
while most people consider the eggs
of the Wyandotte small. 1t may be
observed, however, that the eggs of
this last breed are not really so small
as they appear, being much more near
~ spherical in shape than those of 9TH
er breeds, but of practically the same
content.
People generally judge eggs by q
personal standard which varies wide
ly according to the experience of the
individual. In some countries abso-
lutte justice is melted out to both pro.
Queer and consumer by selling eggs
by weight. For scientific purposes
this is about the only way they can
be compared successfully. The posi-
bility for the weight of the hens eggs
varies approximately from one to
four ounces, those over three and a
half being classed as curiosities by
most people and those under two be-
ing generally considered unmarked
able. There is desire on the part
of some poultry fanciers to make the
three-ounce egg the standard for all
breeds except the very smallest, and
to breed and feed with the attain
ment of this standard weight in view
Other breeders say that, as larger
eggs bring no better price, it is folly
to try to produce them.
In answer to this last point, it may
be said that customers are generally
pleased with eggs according to their
size and freshness, and that it is diff.
cult to get and keep the best class OF
private egg trade without both quail
ties. This class of Gus toners also glad.
~ pays higher price in order to be
perfectly satisfied as to quantity and
quality, so that the three-ounce egg
is in the long run the most desirable
and profitable product of the hen.

Filth Fosters Hen Diseases.

Dirt is one thing; filth another.
Dirt in the poultry house is all right
If it be. not connected with filth. Dirt
is a germicide' to certain extent and
under certain conditions. A few bar
rels of dry dust to sprinkle under the
roosts in winter will help to keep
filth away. Filth consists of moisture
and decaying vegetable or animal
matter. It reuires some intelligence
to know when to remove the dirt that
has been placed under the roost and
replaced it with new, but this amount
of intelligence is absolutely necessary
if W. would succeed. One thing is GER
tain, and tIat is that filth invites dis
ease and fosters it when it is present.
