POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

Good stock is always in demand; in
ferior stock must be sold for an infe-
rior price.
1.-THE little foxes spoil the vines" and
the little mites spoil the profits in poul-
try keeping.
A small flock of fowls, carefully ham
died, will pay a better profit than a
large flock carelessly kept.
Color or markings do not cut much
figure when 1T comes to selecting a
breed for practical purposes.
When supplying private customers
with eggs always sort them both as to
color and size. They will look better
and will bring better price.
A feast one day and famine the
next is not conducive to health, thrift
or egg production in flock of fowls.
Regular feeding, well balanced, is the
keynote of success.
If there are pullets or cockerels in
some of the broods that grow faster
than the rest, mark them and keep
them for breeders another season. In
this way you can build up the stamina
of your flock.
The poultryman who lives near a
creamery or dairy where he can get
skim milk for his fowls is in luck. 1t
is an excellent feed for them and is
especially valuable to use in mixing
the mashes Buttermilk is also good
In culling the flock it is good plan
to save the hens that proved exception
ally good sftters and mothers this sea-
son, as the cost of their keeping will
be more than Offset by their service
next season, even if they don't lay an
egg during the year.-Commercial

DEATH WATCH OFTHE SEWER
Man Stationed at Manhole to Pre-
vent Suffocation of Under
ground Workers.

What are you doing idling while
your fellows do all the work." asked
the lawyer from the stock exchange
building to the underground cable
workman. The electrician was sit
ting on a tool box beside a manhole
at Washington and La Sale streets,
relates writer in the Chicago Rec
Herald, when the lawyer inter-
rupted him. He looked up, and then
with faint smile, said:
r 81 am the death watch"
Explain yourself. I do not under
stand you
"Well, these men in the hole are
constantly in danger from suffoca-
ton from sewer gas. If 1 were in the
hole / would run the same chances
as they do. For their safety l sit here
in open air. I am not in range
of the gases. If one of them is over
come I get busy, haul him into open
air and call a doctor. See?"
The lawyer saw" and went about
his business, admitting to himself
that there were tricks in all trades,
and this was one of the dangers that
beset conduit men that he had never
thought of.

COLONY HOUSE FOR CHICKS
The Model Here Described and Pic
tured Has Been Used Success
fully for Years.

The uses of these houses may well
be likened to plant growing. We
quite frequently start tomatoes and
cabbage plants in very small boxes,
leaving them there until time to
transplant to their cold storage frames
and later to the field, where they fin
ish their growth. What would we ex-
pect these plants to amount to If left
where the seed was first started? 1t
is needless to answer this question for
any sane person knows. That is just
what we do with our chicks when we
atttmpt to raise them around the
buildings with older fowls.
l have these buildings set all over
my place, about 100 feet apart. I wish
had room to put them farther apart.
After my chicks have reached GER
tain age they are transferred to these
houses, where they are allowed full
freedom just as soon as they are ole
enough to know when to go in and
out of the rain and storm. If farm
ers would keep more fowls and en-
ploy this plan, scattering the young

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Glass.

When a simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ILL.,,
says: after being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble,
received a shock four years ago that
left me in such a condition that my
life was despaired of. / could get no
relief from doctors nor from the num-
berless heart and nerve medicines
tried because I didn't know that the
coffee was daily putting me back more
than the Drs. could put me ahead.
Finally at the request of friend I
left of coffee and began the use Of
Postum and against my convictions /
gradually improved in health until for
the past or 8 months / have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
"My troubles all came from the use
of coffee which drunk from childhood
and yet they disappeared when quit
coffee and took up the use of Postum %

Many people marvel at the effects of
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum
but there is nothing marvellous about
it-only common sense.
Coffee is destroyer-Postum is q
rebuilder. That's the reason.

About Unfinished Sections.

After the honey flow has stopped the
unfinished sections that only have a
little honey in them will soon be
cleaned up by the bees without destroy
ing the comb, if covered up near the
hives, leaving room for only one bee
to go in or out. When given larger
entrance they destroy the combs, which
are worth saving for starters next sea-
son. When there are many sections
not capped over, or half filled or more.
they may be sold at a reduced price, or
converted into liquid honey by melt
ing slowly. After cooling remove the
cake of wax. A warm, dry, sunny place
where the temperature stays around the
nineties is an ideal place for storing
honey. Cold and dampness cause honey
to become watery and sour.-Ohio

WAITER WHO WAS AN ACTOR.
His Stage Salary Was Not Enough
to Keep Him in Idleness Dur
ing Summer.

at is not only college boys that earn
vacation money by working as walters
in summer hotels" said a New York
man who lives at his club all summer
while his family is at the seaside, re-
lates the Times. Last week l was up
the New England coast arranging to
settle the folks. l had to hurry away
from the city during the first hot spell
with a good deal of unfinished busl-
ness on my hands. The thought of
spending an idle evening in the coun-
try hotel worried me. My waiter at
table seemed a nice young fellow, and
l said to him:
"I suppose can't get stenograph-
er and typewriter around here with
otu driving to the village?'
Must the work be done to-night?'
he asked.
"'Well, l should like it first thing in
the morning l replied. 'Why?'
1.-THE young man went away without
replying, and as the landlord came up
TO speak to me just then l forgot ali
about the matter. After dinner, while
I was taking a stroll and smoke, my
waiter came up to me. If you will
come to my room down the street. he
said, 4 shall be happy to take those
letters for you at the same rate per
folio you would pay for them in the
city. They shall be ready before you
come down to breakfast in the morn
ing.

had cleared up a whole batch of stuff

less of rest. That waiter took dicta-

in the dining room.

CLEVER HENS OF OREGON.
Their Owner Says They Can Tell
Drones from Working Bees and
Never Make q Mistake.

Worth their weight in coined sill
ver," is the value attached to his flock
of hens and chickens by w. H. Pen
ming, the most extensive producer OF
honey in the alfalfa region about On
tario, Ore. This high price for poul-
try is not on account of the beauty or
size or pedigree of his flock, but on &C
count of their having developed a fac
ulty of intelligence which enables
them to distinguish between a work.
ing bee and drone, which enables
him to secure a much larger yield OF
honey from his 500 hives, as his hens
keep the number of lazy, idle drones
who are not armed with stings, but
who have good appetites, reduced to
minimum, and more cells are filled and
sealed daily by the busy workers.
Mr.. Penning told the Portland Ore
gonian the story of the wonderful de-
velopment of his hens, which are al
lowed to run at large among his bee
hives, and who, like many other
birds" have a fondness for bees,
bugs, grasshoppers and other insects,
but which, generally speaking, have
learned to leave bees entirely alone,
having in their early attempts al
swallowing them found that pain and
danger lurked in the stings with which
most of them are armed. Within the
past year or two he has noticed his
hens peeking into the entrances Of
hives and occasionally Selling bee,
which, after placing on the ground
and examining critically, they would
sometimes swallow and sometimes al.
low to fly away.
This resulted in careful investiga-
ton by him of the strange action OF
the hens, and he soon found that the
fowls had learned to distinguish the
stingless and useless drones from the
armed working bees, and that in con-
seuence the number of eaters, but
producers of honey, was being
kept within reasonable limits. He has
also discovered that this season the
old hens have taught their chickens
how to distinguish between the two
classes of bees. He believes that no
other fowls have ever acquired this
valuable knowledge, and has not
found anyone who has ever heard OF
such knowledge being displayed by
any fowl or bird. He is greatly de-
lighted at his discovery, for it means
many dollars in his pocket, and his
discovery is now published for the in
formation of all apiarists, students OF
entomology and the public in general

Regarding the Age Of Eggs.

An eastern farm paper recently pub
lished lengthy ARTICLE on how to tell
the age of eggs. While the article is
very interesting and the information it
contains is no doubt accurate and relia-
bic. we araof the opinion that the farm
err who makes the most money out of
eggs 1t is not very material. The only
good egg rs the fresh one, and the way
90 make the most money out of the
sale of eggs is to get them into the
hands of the consumer as soon as it can
be done after they are laid. Guaran-
teed strictly fresh eggs always find
ready sale, and generally at premium
any time of year.

and old stock out over the grain and
grass fields, a great deal less damage
would be done by insect pests than
there is to-day. We have not the nu-
merous varieties of birds to-day to do

no! The girls are wearing them in
their hats now! So we ought to sup
ply some domesticated birds to do the
work, and thereby reap twofold ben

Ter for it.
About eight years ago the grain
fields in the neighborhood were being
devoured by the army worm. placed
colonies of pullets in my neighbours
fields all about me and the pullets
went after the worms as schoolboys
would go after a box of strawberries.
Such feasting you never saw, and the
best part of the bargain was 1 had to
supply no feed for several weeks. Wa
ter and grit was all had to see to-,
and such growth 1 never got before
nor since, and eggs commenced to
come about 80 days earlier than usu-
al. Furthermore, 1 received thanks
from my surrounding neighbors for
saving at least portion of their
grain.
My colony houses are built of six
inch drop siding; stills, studding and
rafters are two by four. Ground plan
or southeast, five feet high in front,
three feet high in rear, with a window.
six-lighted, in front and door two feet
six inches wide and four feet high at
the east side, as shown in the cut. 1t
is best to have the window so it can
be slid wide open at will and closed
as easily, so we can ventilate to meet
the changes of the weather. All the
furniture that goes with these little
houses is two perches, six feet long,
made of two by four scantling, and a
brooder and drinking fountain. Each
house has a yard to the south IL feet
long. No house is ever complete with
out this yard, for when the chicks are
first moved to the houses they are
probably not old enough to be given
unlimited range, and it will not do to
confine them in their house for it is
sure to stunt their growth. If yard
is at hand they can be given the same
care and treatment they were accus-
toned to in the regular brooder house
AMI we know just where they are.
Following this practice the opera
tor is not affected by inclement wealth
er, no matter how severe or wet or
windy; all work can be done indoors.
In building the colony houses some
people try to improve over my plans
and build them larger. Don't do it. 1t
may be all right to build them large:
if you are sure you never want to use
them in cold weather, but if built lar
ger and nothing but the heat that es-
capes from the lamp in the brooder to

enough for your little chicks to enjoy
a great deal of time outside of their
brooder, and we must encourage them
to get out as much as possible.-C. E
