POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

Barrels on their side are not ideal
coops for young chicks.
Eggs cannot be produced without nj
trogenous material in some shape.
Eggs from over-fat hens, if they
hatch at all, are apt to produce weak
lings.
Many a farmer would do better if
he plowed less acres and raised more
chickens.
Coops without bottoms moved daily
make healthful places in which to raise
young chicks.
To keep disease away from thefowls,
keep everything perfectly clean where
they are kept.
Feather pulling is often the result
of confinement in idleness. Give the
hens something to do.
Keep the outside doors and windows
of the poultry house closed during a
rain or snowstorm.
Playful dogs in the hen yard do not
add to the comfort or peace of the
hens. Keep the dogs out.
Hens with frozen combs will not
produce eggs till the sores are healed
do not expect them to.
Bowel trouble that carries off
many chicks when one or two weeks
old may be often corrected by TAX
ing away their drinking water and
giving scalded milk instead.-Com.

INEVITABLE
Why Beginners in the Poultry BUSH
ness Must Expect to Lose
Money at First.

No n that has not had experience
in poultry raising should invest heav-
lily in that business. The only safe
way is to start small and increase the
flock as rapidly as experience in
creases. The novice generally starts
in with the firm resolve to succeed
from the start. Frequently he get~ all
the information he can from books
and from practical po%ultrymen, and
he vainly imagines that the informa-
ton Sc acquired will save him from
mistakes. But the mistakes are made,
just the same, though they are doubt
less fewer on account of what has
been CLEANED from the experiences of
others. People must have expert
ence by themselves to really fit them
to cope with the numerous situations
they must face. Let the novice set it
down as a certainty that he will make
mistakes Of a most serious nature.
and that as a result of such mistakes
great losses will result. In some
cases these losses will be greater than
the profits for the entire yea in
which they occur. We tell the novice
of this before they occur, so that he
may not be entirely discouraged and
give up the effort when they do occur.
Even people that have been brought
up on farms encounter these discour-
aging experiences when they try to
handle fowls in considerab BILE num-
bers. The ones that have had a little
experience in raising poultry are the
ones most likely to invest consider
able sums in an equipment before
they are really competent to manage
such equipment. Because they have
had some experience they imagine
themselves to be experts. Most of
the failures are due to inexperience.
but the people that have failed arc
not usually willing to admit this even
to themselves. Even the farm boy
that has fed chickens and gathered
eggs since childhood will do well to
go a little slow when he enters the
ranks of professional chicken raisers,
for it hurts less to lose so per cent.
of a flock of a hundred than it does
to lose a like proportion of a thou
sand fowls.-Farmer's Review.

hoor. Nine inches above the platform
place three roosts IL inches apart.
The house should be seven feet
high in the front, five feet at the rear
and ten feet at the ridge, if it is to
be covered with shingles. Four sx1o-
incl blight windows should be
placed at. the front, and one may be
placed at each end if desired. There
may be a door in each end or one in
the front. To make this house frost
proof, it must be built with double
walls with an air space between. Lay

Where a house is built as thoroughly

to regulate the flow of air. Enough
air will leak in around windows and

WATER FOR THE BEES.
They Need 1t and the Wise Apia rias
Will See That 1t Is Always
Within Their Reach,

1t seems a little out of season to
talk about watering your bees, if, as
in a good many localities, they are
snugly housed in the cellar at the
present moment. However, it is well
to anticipate their wants. Indeed,
there may not be any anticipation in
the case where the bees are wintered
out of doors. Just as soon as there
comes a day warm enough for them.
to fly, one of the first things they
will do is to start in search of water,
says a writer in the Bee Journal.
Bees are hard drinkers, and it is a
matter of some Importance that they
have easy access to plenty of pure
water without being obliged to fly
some distance to secure it. Especial
~ is this true in teh early spring,
when cold winds and sudden changes
in temperature work such havoc with
our bees. Water they must have,
and if they do not have it supplied
near home they must seek it else
where. More bees are lost in spring
by flying some distance, becoming
chilled. and never getting back to
their hive, than some bee-keepers are
aware of. We don't want anything
that will induce them to take long
lights, much less anything that will
obllge them to. Bees are largely
creatures of habit, and when once
they have established a drinking
place it is not SO easy to change
them from it. And obs of their ia
vorite selections is the watering
tank, causing much annoyance to
stock, n to the people taking care
OF our stock as well. 1t is also a
great nuisance to have them around
the well or cistern pump. Especially
is this the case if there are small
children in the family.
All this bother may be avoided if
we select their drinking place for
th.An, and get them started in the
right place before they have learned
to go anywhere else. This is not diff
cult to do. A large jar filled with
water, with a number of pieces of
wood put into it, for the bees to
alight upon (if they are somewhat
rotten all the better), is all that is
needed to make a good watering
place. If this jar is kept supplied
with water, after the bees once get
started there will be no more
trouble about their bothering you
anywhere else. Tt is a good plan to
put a little salt into it once in awhile.
Then it will not be a breeding place
for mosquitoes, and the bees seem
to like it better when it is a little
salty.-Bee Journal.

Rettnue OF the Queen Bee.

That retinue surrounding the queen
is something after this fashion in this
locality: Under normal circumstances,
when a queen is travelling over the
comb, no worker accompanies her. If
she runs against the hind end of a
worker, the worker willpa no more at
tention to her than to another worker.
If, however, the worker is in such po-
sition that she "a recognize the pres
ence Of the queen, whether the queen
touches her or not, the worker will in
variably squarely face the queen; and
if the queen stands still long enough
there will be a circle of bees all facing
centrally. AS soon, however, as the
queen moves on, the circle breaks up,
never to be formed again If the same
bees.-Gleanings.

A Tight

Brazils, Ark, May llth.-To be snatched
from the very brink of the grave is a some
what thrilling experience and one which
Mrs. M. 0. Garrett of this place has just
passed through.
Mrs: Garrett suffered with a Cerebro.
Spinal affection, and had been treated by
the best physicians, but without the slight.
est improvement.
For the last twelve months two doctors
were in constant attendance, but she only
grew worse and worse, till she could not
all.
She was 50 low that for the greater part
Of the time she was perfectly Unconscious
Of what was going on about her, and her
hourly expecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope and
NO one thought she could possibly live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent for a
box Of Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was a last
hope, but happily it did not fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of the
remedy, and is completely cured. She says:
Il am doing my own work now and feel
as well as ever I did. Dodd's Kidney Pills
certainly saved me from DEATH"

FASHIONABLE F1NERY.
Notes OF the, Modes for Feminine Fof..
lowers of the Latest in
Dress.

Champagne, claret red, and Char
treuse green are three prominent col
ors among spring dress fabrics, both
for day gowns and for evening toilets.
The neutral champagne, pongee, fawn
and pale tantints r prominent among
the plain and embroidered CLEANLINESS,
~voiles, crepes de chine, mistral canvas
weaves, Irvine cloths and sharks skin
wool armures, says the New York
Post. Anew invoice of goods that will
please economical shoppers includes
mercerized, p~olka-dotted piques near
~ a yard wide and in fast colors
at ten cents a yard; American batistes
in either dark or light grounds at 1917
cents; Madras and Lowell ginghams
in solid c%olors; corded stripes, checks
and plaids, 81 and 32-inch wide, at ten
cents a yard, and fine Belfast dimities
at % and ~ cents a yard, in the latest
spring patterns.
New styles in covert coats are set
forth for the wear of women, young
girls and children of any, These are
exhibited in short, three-quarter, and
figure lengths, the front finished with
large smoke-pearl buttons, or else
there is an invisible f1y-front fastening.
Coats of this kind are unlined, and be-
sides forming very ~seasonable wraps
for the entire spring season, they will
prove very useful on cold days, during
the summer, over gowns of foulard
silk, pique, wolfe, etc.
New shirt waist suits appear, this
week, made of stripes and dotted dim
ity, seaside canvas, fancy Madras, cot
ton ~cheviot, mercerized cable cord,
Kharo cloth, and linens, plain and en-
broidered. Tucks stitched to founce
depth appear on the tive-gored flare
skirt, and the fulness at the back is
taken up in an inverted box plait.
Many of the new silk or satin sash
ribbons are striped or barred with a
line of black velvet, that makes them
very becoming when used for blouse
vest fronts, stocks, ribbon roses, etc.
Entire waists are made of the wider
ribbons, and a pretty result is OBJ
tanned by tucking the silk or satin por-
tons of the striped designs, leaving
the black line untouched. This rem
ders the velvet stripe quite prominent,
producing a stylish effect.
Novel French evening dresses of crepe
de chine and chiffon, and tea gowns
of tucked and shirred India silk,
creped wool and taffeta are displayed
at the importing houses this week.
The shirt waist suits of plain and en-
broidered linen and those of mercer
lied cotton cheviot are trimmed with
the new Teneriffe embroideries, and
tailor-made silk and satin foulards are
decorated with strappings, tucks and
tiny white buttons.
