June Hatched Chicks,

Chicks Matched in June can be made
profitable both as layers and show
birds If raised under conditions to pro-
mote a healthy growth, says c. Bri-
cault in Reliable Poultry Journal.
Their treatment differs but little from
that which is given the earlier ones.
The difference can be summed up in g
few words namely, plenty of shade
and cool. clean water to drink at all
times. Up to four years ago I shared
in the belief that late Matched chicks
were undesirable. but after giving the
matter thorough test l find that
White Wyandotte pullets Matched In
June reach laying maturity in less
time than the early Matched ones, and
many experienced breeders are of the
same opinion.

This breed of Scotch dairy cattle
originated under the rugged conditions
Of Ayrshire, and in their type and gen
eraI characteristics they exemplify the
form and quality which would be
called for in dairy animal required
to make the most economical use Of
its food and do the best under condi-
lions too severe for finer and more
delicate cattle, says American Cultiva-
tor.
The head is slim, rather long in the
face and surmounted with horn not
wholly devoid of strength The neck.
somewhat short, is clean cut, though
not delicate The shoulder is sharp and
the chest full and deep. The body is
straight in its top lines, slightly more
compact than usually found in the
dairy type, but has the volume which
invariably results in large capacity for
consumption and production. The hind
quarter is moderately wide and covered
with flesh, while the thigh is thin and
the udder long and excellent in it's pro-
portion. The size and the placing Of
the teats are features which call for
careful attention in ranking represent

lier than the Concord, being in good
condition from the middle to the last

Its keeping qualities are far superior
to either of the kinds named, and for
this reason alone it is greatly valued
by commercial growers. The fruit is
of very good quality for market
grape. The berry is of large size and
the cluster is large. The color of the
berry is glossy black with a blush
bloom. The pulp is sweet and spicy
without the foxy flavor. The seeds
are small. few in number and readily
separated from the pulp.

Early Laying PuIIets.

1t requires considerable urging to in
duce one possessing large number of
beautiful pullets to sacrifice them, but
1t will not pay to keep pullets of the
large breeds to lay during winter I'M
less such pullets can mature before
cold weather. If a pullet begins to lay
before winter comes, she will continue
to lay until spring, then take a rest
and soon begin again. But If the win
ter sets in before she starts at laying
she will probably not lay before spring.
There are exceptions to the claims
made here, but as a rule experience
will confirm the fact that pullet must
have time in which to grow and ma
ture, and that it is expensive to feed
focks in winter in the hope of an
abundant supply of eggs when the
ages and conditions Of the individuals
render profit an impossibility TYP Poultry

How to Propas

How to Propagate a Rubber Plant.
Rubber plants are generally propa-
gated by making the new shoots into
cuttings of about two leaves. These
are rooted in moist sand under glass at
rather high temperature. Not less
than Go degrees is necessary. A less
troublesome way to propagate a plant
from a specimen would be to take a
vigorous young shoot, cut a ring
through the bark five or six inches
from the end, wrap large bunch OF
moss around this cut place, tying il
tightly with thread This moss should
be kept wet or at least moist all the
time with water and the plant placed
in warm situation. where it can grow
freely. In three or four weeks If the
moss has not been allowed to dry out
roots will form at the cut point. When
this has occurred the moss may be re
moved, the branch cut away and plac-
ed in a pot, using a pot not larger than
is needed to hold the roots. By this
means one can occasionally propagate
from fine specimen without the trou-

Care Of the Youngsters.

Chicks in breeders are supposed to
be, and should be, free from lice. No
chick that has had a chance to get a
louise on it should be put in the brood
ers or in a brooder house, and if that
IS looked to brooder chicks have an
advantage over chicks with hens. Most
of the summer brooder chicks are hous-
ed in outdoor breeders, and the shade
question becomes one of major impor-
lance. A brooder placed in the sun,
however well it may be ventilated. will
reach a high temperature during a hot
day and cool rapidly at night, making
it necessary to extinguish the lamp
during the day and start it again at
nightfall This does no particular harm
If the chicks are old enough to take care
of themselves and can find shade dur
ing the day. But it is unfortunate for
little chicks, as the temperature will
vary widely.
Under a group Of shade trees or in an
orchard is the best place for brooder
at this season, the shade tempering
the heat of the sun If the cover of
the brooder is raised, there will be no
difficulty In keeping the heat under the
cover within bounds. To place a brood
er where 1t will be exposed to the
midday sun and confine the chicks In
small yard, also without protection
is nothing less than cruelty, and good
results are impossible.-H. A. Nourse

THERMOMETERS.
The Bulbs, the Tubes and the Mark
Ing of the Degrees.


Ing of the Degrees.
There are many different uses for
thermometers and as many different
styles as uses. They range from the
tiny half inch tubes attached to Christ
mas calendars to the enormous twelve
foot instruments used in experimental
work by meteorologists
Perhaps the most difficult part of
the manufacture of thermometers is
that of fitting the tube with a bulb of
exactly the right capacity. The size
Of the latter must have an exact rela-
ton to that of the former If it is too
large for the bore the mercury or coll
ored alcohol, whichever is used, will
not rise high enough in the tube; If
too small, it will rise too high. In the
little clinical thermometer on whose
story the physician depends so often
for his decision the bore is so fine that
human hair can hardly be inserted
AS these thermometers must be reg
ulated to record minutely the tempera-
ture, the person on whose judgment
depends the size of the bulb to be at
tached must be highly skilled work
man. The men who do this part of the
work have to be highly paid.
The marking of the degrees on the
hollow tube is the step next in im-
portance in the making Of the little
curse and blessing. The process is so
simple that one can prove the accuracy
of a thermometer for ones self by
the same metl 3D. The freezing point
is secured by immersing the bulb in a
box of melting ice and the boiling
point by attachir it to steam pipe
or immersing il in boiling water.
Scratches are lde on the tube at
the points re red by the mer
curry under these two tests, and the
space between Is then marked off
into 100 spaces for a centigrade Their
mometer and $50 for Fahrenheit in
strument, the irlzing beginning in
the first instance at zero and in the
second at 80 This makes the boiling
point in one case 100 and in the other
212 degrees. Thermometers are apt
to deteriorate in value as they age
owing to contraction of the glass of
the bulb. The amount of the error can
be determined by immersing the bulb
in melting ice and making mark for
the new freezing point. To insure the
accuracy of thermometers the manu-
facturers usually store them for a year,
testing them from time to time.-New

They Need Especial Care to Insure n
Good Growth.
Chicks hafched in the warm days Of
July must have special care in order to
make good growth, says L. e. Key
ser in Western Poultry Journal 1t is
an easy matter to overhead them In the
brooder and this means bowel trouble
and stunted chicks, and In my opinion
stunted chick is little better than
dead one. But little artificial heat is
required after the first week except at
night. It Is often more difficult to keep
the brooder sufficiently cool than to
supply needed heat, especially when an
outdoor brooder is used and it % plac-
ed where the sun will strike it.
If chicks are kept in outdoor brood
ers they should be placed under trees
or in shady places protected from all
but the early morning sun, if such
places can be found. The chicks should
also have shady runs, and for this pur-
pose there is no place equal to an or
chard, but where old shade cannot be
had other shade must be made, either
of boards or by planting some quick
growing vines or plants. Indoor or
outdoor brooders placed in a brooder
house, shed or colony house, with out
side runs, are more preferable to out
door brooders placed under trees, as
the chicks have a covered exercising
room out of the sun and rain.

Poultry Notes.

Pure refined charcoal is one of the
best disinfectants for the poultry yard.
Poultry is raised on SIS per cent
of the farms in the United States. It
would be interesting to know what
per cent use high grade fowls.
Meat, milk, the cereal grains, with
plenty Of hard bone cut fine, will make
good poultry If kept free from lice.
AS often as every second year cock
should be bought that is full OF vigor
and pure blood and be employed to
build up the stamina of the flock.
A good breed is not alone sufficient
to make money Good care, good feed
and more quarters am even necessary.

fruit committee of the New Jersey
Horticultural society reported upon it
at the last meeting of the society. DR..
Ward, chairman of the committee (in
no way related to the originator of the
berry,, said:
I'VE saw the original planting of
this fruit, consisting of about one-half
acre There were six rows planted
four years ago and four rows planted
two years ago, all of which were load
ed with fruit just beginning to ripen-
The vines had been set back to two
and half to three feet in height and
were strong and stocky, carrying an
immense crop of fruit without stalking.
There were very few suckers, dis
tinctive and desirable feature in a
blackberry. The fruit was jet black
in color, firm for shipment, yet tender
and melting all through, without core
and of highest quality. Those Of us
who remember the OLD Kittatinny as
introduced by our old friend, Edmund
Williams. were strongly reminded OF
it, In the Ward we have it repro
duced and thus far without any of the
formers defects.
"Your committee had good object

of the Wilson. The canes of the Ward
We're far stronger and contained al
least three times more fruit. You
committee and other fruit growers who
were present passed the following res

all that is claimed for it by the intro

be CLEANED from this sketch of him

ally worn or rubbed off. He wore a
short cloak and sometimes shawl.
His coat and vest hung loosely on his
giant frame. His trousers were inva-
riably too short. In one hand he car
ried faded green umbrella, with "a
Lincoln in large white cotton or mus
lin letters sewed on the inside. The
knob was gone from the handle, and a
piece Of cord was usually tied round
the middle of the umbrella to keep 1t
from flying open. In the other hand
he carried carpetbag, in which were
