MANAGEMENT OF POULTRY.
Easiest Way Of Increasing PROFIT u
Reduction OF Expenses by
Sensible Methods.

Many farmers turn their hens out TO
forage, and give them no attention
Such system is improbable, as the
farmer loses some of the eggs, and
also large proportion of the chicks.
When the farmer is too busy to attend
to the fowls he will not md them
profitable. Even If the flock has the
run of an orchard, it must have shell
ter and protection at night, and lice
must be kept down. 1t is claimed by
some that it is more profitable not to
conf1ne the hens. because it is more
difficult for a beginner to manage =
flock in yard than when the hens
are at liberty, as he must supply al.
their wants and must understand how
to avoid mistakes, especially those Of
overlooking; but it is maintained, on
the contrary. that If hens are on q
range they viii linstinctively care for
themselves, and in SO doing save the
beginner many annoyances. A large
number Of farmers keep their hens up
ITO prevent depreciation in the garden,
although the hens do not damage the
garden as much as may be supposed,
but destroy many insects. If a hen
with brood OF chicks secures an
opportunity to scratch up garden
that has been newly planted, they will
make sad havoc with the seeds and
very young plants; but as soon as the
garden is we'll under way it is as safe
from the attacks of hens as a field
crop would be, aA the hens will busy
themselves with insects. tender grass,
terminating wesd-seeds, worms, and
other delicacies which The prefer The
proper mode. Of management depends
upon the farm, the principal crops
grown, the climate, the number of
fowls and facilities for transportation
to market. It is didacult to frame rules
that are applicable to sill conditions.
There is almost sure profit to be de-
rived under nearly all circumstances,
as flock OF hens 10 capuble of saving
certain portions of crops that cannot
De sold to advantage, such rs seeds,
grass, vegetables, small potatoes, etc.
There is at all times on the farm a lot
OF valuable refuse which cannot be
saved except by the use of poultry. 1t
Is true that other animals are also ser
viceable In that respect, but the hens
give more immediate returns, supply
Ing eggs daily, and bringing in cash
when three are no returns from other
sources. In keeping flock of fowls
the object should be to feed nothing to
them that can be sent to market, as
long as there is something unstable
that will answer the purpose. Econo-
my adds to the profit. and one of the
chief purposes In keeping flock is
to utilize the waste products. It is the
capacity Of the heus to seek thier food
that reduces expenses and increases
the proft.-Farm uni Fireside.

Trick Of Library Thief.

In addition to the book thieves there
are the thieves of periodicals and the
thieves who make practice of steal
ing engravings from the rare old
books. The engraving thief has a sim
pie method which is known to every
librarian. In his pocket he carries an
innocent looking string. When the at
tendant is mot looking he vets the
string in his mouth and places it be-
tween the pages where he wishes to
take out the engraving. The weight
Of the covers presses the moistened
string into the paper, cutting the page

q distinctly red color, varying from y
light to a dark red. This red color is
due to engagement with blood. The
common white louise Of the hen, Memo
pom pallilum Nitsch, is longer than the

BY the aid of figures and one can
easily identify the chicken mite. even
with the naked eye. Much aid will be
given, however, by hand magnifier.
The mites are 81 peculiar and steal
thy habits of life, rather unlike that
which one naturally expects from a
parasite. Indeed, they are only semi
parasitic, and, as a rule, remain upon
the fowls only long enough to secure q
meal. They are very active in their
movements and seem to be ever on
the lookout for q victim. On account
of their vigorous and vicious habits
they may be styled the wolves Of the
insect parasites Of fowls. The mites
hide in crevices and under objects in
the hen house during the day time,
while the chickens are outside, and lie
in wait for their return. They lay
their eggs and the young are Matched
in these hiding places. A rbarrel ;af-
fords an excellent hiding and breeding
place, as the mites lodge between the
slaves and under the hoops. In the
nest they are to be found under the
straw or other nesting material. 1t is
q noteworthy fact that place which
shows only few mites on the surface
may contain vast numbers in the crew.
ices or under objects. Often they be-
come so plentiful that they overflow
the hiding places and appear in hordes
upon the exposed surfaces. The de-
scription and figures of the mites are
taken from a bulletin of the veterin-
asy department Of the Iowa Agricut-
trral college.-Detroit Free Press.
