Keen Chicks Growing.

Whether the chickens are being
raised for the market or for winter
layers, it, is essential that they make
the best possible growth from birth to
going into winter quarters or to the
market. The range, to large extent
solves the question of food and of
healthy growth, but it is necessary
that the chicks have some food other
than that picked up on the range, or
they will wear themselves out trying
to get enough TO eat.
Then, if they roost under cover at
night. and they should by all means
do this, there is the question of lice
which must be given proper considera
ton. for few lice will cause the chick
TO lose more weight in a month than
can be made good by two months of
feeding. Everything possible must be
done TO keep the chicks growing dur
ing the summer; keep them making a
strong, steady gain. and then they v III
be profitable. and not otherwise.

Poultry Hints.


Young geese are not good breeders.
Goose eggs do not hatch well when
shipped quite distance.
As an egg-producing grain oats has
not an equal among cereals.
Best results are not obtained by per
hitting poultry to rOost in trees.
Pure refined charcoal is one of the
best disinfectants for the poultry
yards.
Young ducks should be kept away
from swimming water until they are
well feathered
Ducks may be advantageously
raised on many farms where they
have never yet been tried.
A goose yields about - a year in
feathers. the market, prize being about
20 TO 80 cents pOLAd.
Soft-shelled eggs are seldom found
where I ems are Supplied with cracked
bone or small bits Of oyster shells.
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.
Chicks raised in late spring and
midsummer can be made to lay by
February IL they are given some meat
I'm their daily ration.
Cleanliness Is the keynote Of health.
Nothing viii breed sickness so quickly
as filth, and It is very easy to have the
nenhouse become filthy.

one-NInn Cross.Cut Saw.

When one man operates the cross
cut saw the blade is apt to wabble
more or less, making it difficult for
one man to get good work from the
tool. An excellent way to strengthen
the blade is to take a hickory pole
about a foot longer than the saw, shay
ing down the end rather fat so that
it will be about one-half inch thick.
Saw n slit in this end of the pole,
slip it over the saw blade close 10 the
handle and wire il 10 the handle after
making two holes, one on eth sr side
of the slit in the pole. The other end
may be treated in the same manner
or notch may be cut in the handle
of the saw and the shaved end of the
pole go up against this notch and be
wired to the handle.
If the pole is a good one this device

Feeding va1ue of Alfalfa.

1t is within a few years since any
special attention has been paid TO
alfalfa and farmers have been slow
in testing it. Perhaps the undisputed
statement that ton of alfalfa prop
erly cured has nearly the same feeding
value as a ton of wheat bran will
convince farmers that the Grey is
worth their attention. Unlike clover
it is not difficult to get a catch of al
falfa and it does not readily winter
kill. One cannot put TO better use a
portion of the leisure days than IN
finding out all possible about alfalfa
and its culture.

Gov. BacheIder Talks for Good Roads.
New Hampshire is one of the States
which is making rapid strides in the
improvement of her roads. Governor
Bachelor. of that State-and, he is
also an officer of the National Grange
lis a very enthusiastic advocate OF
road Improvement. In recent adj
dress he said:
1.-THE development and prosperity of
any State or Nation depend in some
degree upon the transportation facili-
ties provided; and such facilities in
clude not only our rivers and harbors
and our great railway and steamboat
companies, but also the highways over
which all our products and all our peo-
pie are transported.
The important matter now before
the friends of good roads is to arouse
the people to a realization of their re
sponsibiliy in securing favorable State
and National legislation ON the sub
ject The small pittance appropriated
for the use of the Good Roads Bureau
of the Department of Agriculture is
entirely out of proportion to the money
appropriated for other objects of Il
public nature when their reia;ive i'm
portance is considered
Another important matter is the
construction of roads adapted to tie
needs of travel over them. Much
harm has come to the good roads
movement in some sections of the
country through the advocacy of more
expensive roads than the resources of
the people would warrant and &c,
manG. Costly stone roads are eeonom-
zeal upon portions of our high
ways but we must not overlook the
fact that there is Il vast mileage OF
roads that could be permanently i'm
proved by the judicious expenditure
of a comparatively small sum of
money per mile. We should give due
prominence to this fact in consider
ing the matter from a State or Ma
tional standpoint.
LAS an official of the National
Grange. | desire to say Il word for
the farmers of the country in regard
to National aid for road building.
ests Of the Nation in every emergency
in the past. They have contributed
their full share in proportion to theiI
wealth to the revenues for the suppor
of the Government The ablesi
statesmen and most successful bust
ness men, contributing to the devei-
opment and prosperity of the country
point to the farms as their birthplace.
When our country has been in danger,
the farmer boys have responded nobly
to her defense. We have uncomplain-
fngly contributed our share to the
enormous expenditures OF the National
Government for river and harbor i'm
provements. the construction of canals
and the erection of costly buildings in
our great cities. and we do not re
gret it, We now ask IN the name Of
Justice that National aid be granted
for the improvement OF highways
This involves the establishment of nc
new policy but the extension of the
former one. We ask the loyal sup

matters to which l have referred.
