Loahng, Indolent Existence Led by tho
West Indian NatiYea.


On market day in the West Indies
thousands Of peasant women and girls
can be seen walking along the roads to
the town from their palm -thatcLed
huts in the mountains and woods. They
carry on their heads immense loads
Of bananas. oranges. yams, plantains,
brown sugar or tobacco, stepping along
at the rate OF four miles an hour with
the gait Of n princess.
Constant carrying OF heavy loads
gives them splendid carriage. They
will walk forty miles to market TO sell
thirty cents worth OF produce. Often
they could sell the same stuff for a BET.
ter price ut their homes. but they enjoy
the merry company on the road and
the fun and gossip Of the market place
too much TO give up their weekly
iaunt Most people think such tramp
hard work. but they regard it as
picnic Tramping along over rough
mountain tracks. fording swift rivers,
tuging fractions mules in the way they
should go. these women never let their
loads fall. They could dance a jig
without dropping them.
Meanwhile the men folk-who have
not even taken the trouble to sow or
harvest the crops, much less carry
them to markct-are sleeping in ttC
palm -thatChcd hut or lying down in the
yam patch outside and smoking the
strong native tobacco.

a sheep should have from one to six
quarts Of water daily, according to
weather and feed. There is no place
In which sheep vii, take water with
more zest than in a shed. In such a
place water does not freeze nearly so
rapidly as outside. 4 shallow trough
is best and in very cold weather. if
the water is not wanted after the sheep
drink. it may be drawn off to prevent
the accumulation Of ice. 1t is a mis-
take to try to water them in the same
trough in which cattle drink.

COST OF KEEPING HENS.

The cost of keeping hens depends
not only on intelligent care in feeding.
but on whether the feed is bought or
raised. says an exchange. The ration
for laying hens should be such that
the nutritive ratio to the egg produc-
ing properties should be about one in
four. This can best be produced with
cut clover. middlings. bran. corn meal.
for a morning mash, with grain in
variety. corn, rye. buckwheat, wheat.
millet, etc. 4 fair amount of green
food. cabbage. carrots. potatoes. etc,
should be mixed in in the mash oc-
casiOnally or fed raw every few days.
ON such rations a hen may be kept at
a cost of about severty-cents year,
less if the food is raised,
Buckwheat is one of the best OF
grain foods for fowls and adds great
ly to egg production. Kaffir corn and
millet are also good if they can be
raised or bought at a low price. On the
rations specified two meals a day il

makes a good grade. In the middle o.
the long piece nail on either side short
pieces so as 20 hold a common carpen-
ter's level. Place the short leg on the
starting point of the ditch and move
the other end until the bubble is level.
In this way you will have ditch with

THE POULTRY BUSINESS

lhE FOILIRl BUSINESS.
A careful study OF all the details OF
the poultry business is essential TO the
success Of every fancier or breeder.
Even the matter Of caring for the eggs
that are 20 be hatched Is OF greatest
Importance. The little life germ within
that prison is a very delicate thing and
is very easily destroyed. sudden
movement will often separate the
atoms that form this germ Of a new
creature OF its kind. hence in gathering
the eggs that are 20 be hatched the
greatest care should be observed They
should be taken from the nest and
placed in the egg basket very gently.
and If they are 10 be set within a few
days they should not be touched.
