Drainage Under the Rarn-

Drainage is thing that is frequent
ly neglected in the construction of a
stable. The plot of ground under the
barn is permitted to accumulate mois-
ture and to lose none of it except
through overflow. This wet ground
under the Stable is fruitful source
of development for certain germs.
The ground should be so well drained
that the ground under the stable will
be always dry. Moreover the barn
yard should be thoroughly drained
not only by digging ditch to carry
off the surface water, but also by tile
drains laid three feet under the
ground and quite close. The result
OF such drains is to render the ground
porous and enable the liquids to pass
quickly into the earth.-Farmers' Re-
view.

Tube nc ulOsis Among Swine,

A little observation as to the ages
and kinds of swine in which this dis
ease is found most frequently shows
the greatest number in sows which
have farrowed one OF more litters of
pigs. 1t seems that when young pigs
are infected the disease runs a rather
rapid course, more SO than in the aged
animals, and when SO infected they
do not grow as do the uninfected
swine, and they do not put on fat;
they are thin and lanky. The owner
discovering that they are not thriv-
ing as they should. concludes that it
does not pay to continue feeding th EN-,
markets them at once, and they are
to be found in slaughter houses, some

PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
NSlsing SQUADS for Market II q Pleas.
ant Occupation and One That
Pays. Well.

AS an industry, squad raising re-
qulres less capital and less work in
proportion to the returns than any
other business Of similar character,
says the Washington Post. In the
first place, experience has taught
mat the common pigeons of the
streets and alleys are not only the
healthiest and best brooders, but
that they also produce the best
SQUADS, young birds that are easily
fattened and that are strong and
hardy. The high priced and fancy
breeds OF pigeons, such as pouters,
tumblers, fantails, duchesses Ant
Werps, dragons, runts, silver dubs,
ETC., do not compare with the scrub
pigeon for the purposes of SQUAD
production, SO that at the outset the
person contemplating entering the
business is relieved Of the necessity
of spending large sum of money for
fancy birds.
AS for place in which to breed
pigeons an extensive structure is
not necessity nor is it even desir-
able, the only requisites being that
winter and not too hot in summer.
free from dampness and. if possible
with southern exposure; also, that
it should be free from rats and
mice. For this purpose nothing is
better than an empty grrret, well
provided with light and the floor
covered with gravel or cinders. All
cracks should be made tight in or
der to prevent drafts in winter time.
This last condition is much to be de-
sired if squads are to be raised in
the winter season which is the time
when they are dearest, and conse-
quentlv. bring the best prices.
The most interesting and import
ant part of the business is at the
time the young are hatched out. I'm
like chickens and turkeys, the feed
ing of the younr nigeona is attend
ed to by the parent birds, thus saw
ing the per on engaged in sGnab
raising great deal of trouble which
in chicken raising must be attended
to. 1t seems that the pigeon has
never reached that stage of thorough
domestication where the young birds
have to be fed artifcially. but, like
the wild birds of the forest. the pig
con is one of the few domestic fowls
that attend to the feeding of their
young with what SQUAD raisers call
''soft food" or pigeons milk" until
they are old enough to shift for
themselves. Thus the troublesome
part of the work of chicken raising
is absent in pigeon culture.
The young birds begin to eat grain
in about week after they are
hatched, and then it is that the
SQUAD raiser should see to it that
they are kept stuffed with grain and
never hungry. The parent birds can
not be depended on to look after the
welfare of their progeny after the
"soft food" period has passed. They
have a curious habit Of stutfing one and
starving the other. fighting the starv-
ed bird off and feeding it's share to
the favorite.
