TIE SEASON FOR cULLlNo.
Now Is the Time for Sending Every
Ole and Superhuous Bird
to the Market.

The season is at hand when all loafers
in the poultry yard should be culled
out and sold. Old hens, unlikely pull
lets and superfiuous ROSTERS, young
and old. should be placed in fattenlng
quarters and fed for the market. 1t
pays either the fancy poultry breeder
or common market poultrymen to will
ter prime birds only. There 10 no
room to spare for non-paying fowls,
and quite an amount is lost by keep
ing the culls that are found in the best
as well as the poorest flocks.
Full-blooded poultry is always In de-
mand, and those who would sell at fancy
prices must be very careful to
closely Gull down to the best specimens
of varieties according to standard re-
quirements. The breeder makes q
mistake in keeping any fowls that
are understood or lacking in good nat
ural vitality though they come from
high-priced strain. The best is none
too good for breeding purposes in the
production of market poultry just the
same as in the direction of the show
room. Culling severely now and keep
ing only the best is the way to get
business chicks next spring, strong
enough to get out of the she'll and
grow and thrive in spite of the vicis-
STUDIES they may encounter during
growth. It is a good plan to dispose Of
hens that are late in Noting unless
they are Of extra value. Such hens
won't lay eggs enough in winter to
pay their board.
Spring chickens are fair price on
the market the latter part of Septem-
Der, and the whole flock will be in bet
ter condition if they are sold closely
with the other surplus fowls at this
season. Then in November before the
first cold snap comes to cause them to
lose flesh, We fatten and dispose of the
rest of the culls to give the laying
hens plenty of room. Crowdtng the
poultry house causes disease and dis
comfort, and it is the healthy. happy
hens that lay the high-priced winter
eggs.-Farny NJ Wood, in Ohio Farmer.

Artesian Water a Fertilizer.

Investigations hrried on during the
last year by Mr.. S. w. NcCallie, assist
ant state geologist of Georgia, acting in
cooperation with the United States geo.
logical survey, have revealed the pres
ence of interesting and perhaps valuable
properties in some of the artesian wa
ters in the Coastal Plain of that state.
Water taken from deep we'll at Bax-
ley showed on analysis 5.5 parts per
100000 Of phosphoric acid, which
would indicate that it might be used
for fertilizing as we'll as for irrigatiag
barren fields. In other words, it may be
acceptable to the desert land as both
food and drink. 1t is estimated that q
layer of this phosphoric acid-bearing
water IL inches deep over one acre Of
land would exert a fertilizing effect
equal to that Of 200 pounds of CONNER
vial fertilizer.

PRACTICAL BEE NOTES.

The color: of honey varies greatly.
ranging from water-white to very dar,
brown.
Fifty pounds of surplus honey per
hive in season is fair average in most
localities.
In grading comb honey for the mar
ket, face the case with a fair sample of
Its contents.
Light honey is not always the best
in flavor. though it always brings the
highest price.
Bees do not need daily attention. but
can be given sufficient food at one time
to last all winter.
Honey separated from the comb has
q tendency to granulate very quickly.
especially in autumn.
Bottled honey should be of a fine
flavor and light in color. Dark honey
looks bad in glass, and is a drag on the
market.
Bleaching honey impairs its flavor
and makes it impracticable. It would
be better to have dark, good honey, than
light, poor honey.
Bottled honey is. as rule, purchased
by a class of customers who demand
, fancy article, and are able and
willing to pay fancy price for it.
Light colored honey is gathered from
such flowers as clover, Eastwood and
mountain sage, while the dark is gath
cred from buckwheat, autumn flowers
and wildwood

THE NOTING OF POULTRY
Process Was fastened Successfully
by the Experts at Rhode Island
Experiment Station.

An interesting discussion IL now 60
ing on among poultry raisers Is to
the possibility of Fastening the molt-
ing of fowls. 1t has not been believed
that any method except steady feed
of well-balanced rations would do
this. There is an impression. how
ever, that even this does not always
hasten the desired period as the egg
laying period of the summer is some
times extended by the high feeding,
thus pushing the period of molt-
ing. Some one conceived the idea
of starving the fowls long enough. to
stop the production of eggs and after
ward SO feeding that the formation
of new feathers would be begun. 1t
was reported that great results were
obtained with this method. 1t does
not appeal to reason very much, but
the little experimenting that has been
done to discover what there is in it
has given results favorable to the
method. At the Rhode Island expert
ment station last year fowls that
were laying were deprived of feed
on the 5th of August and were made
to fast for 13 days. The hens finally
stopped laying eggs on the seventh day
Of the fast. After the thirteenth day
of the deprivation of food the fowls
were again given food little at time.
but of highly heterogeneous nature. In
a short time the result was seen in
the formation of new feathers and with
in 80 days from that time the molting
was concluded and the hens began to
lay. This experiment was made with
Rhode Island Reds. Whether the re-
suits can be obtained always is vet
to be proved. It is matter, we'll worth
looking into.

scAvENceRs OF DESERT.
How the Coyotes and Crows Keep an
Eye on One Another in Quest
Of Food.

1t is probable that one never fully
credits the interdependence of wild
creatures. and their cognizance of the
affairs Of their own kind and other
kinds. Mrs. Mary Austin, in 1.-The Land
Of Little RAIN" says that the scavengers
Of the desert all keep an eye ON one an
other.
Never coyote comes out of his lair
to hunt. in the country of the carrion
crows, but looks up first to see where the
crows are gathering. 1t is a sufficient
occupation for windy morning, on the
listless, level mesa, to watch the pair OF
them eying each other furtively, with a
tolerable assumption of unconcern, but
no doubt with q certain amount Of good
understanding.
When the five coyotes that range the
lyon from Pasteria to Tunawai planned
. relay race to bring down an antelope
strayed from the band. an eagle swung
down from Mount Pinos, buzzrds mate
rallied out of invisible ether, and
hawks came trooping like small boys to
street fight. Rabbits sat up in the
chaparral and cooked their ears, feeling
themselves quite safe for once as the
hunt swung near them.
Nothing happens in the deep wood
that the blue jays are not all agog to
tell. The hawk follows the badger, the
coyote the carrion crow, and from their
aerial stations the buzzards watch each
other.
Very clean and handsome, quite belly
ing his relationship in appearance, is
Clark's crow, that scavenger and plum
derer of mountain camps. 1t is permits
sible to call him by his common name,
Camp Robber;" he has earned it. Not
content with refuse, he picks open neal
sacks, filches whole potatoes, is gour-
mand for bacon, drills holes in packing
cases, and is daunted by nothing short
of tin.
All the while he does not neglect to
vituperate the chipmunks and sparrows
that whisk off crumbs of comfort from
under the campers feet.
The Camp Robbers gray coat, black
and white barred wings and slender bill,
with certain tricks of perching, accuse
him of attempts to pass himself of as
woodpecker; but his behavior is all
crow. He frequents the higher pine
belts, and has noisy strident call like
jays; and how clean he and the frisk-
tailed chipmunks keep the camp! No
crumb or pairing or bit of egg-shell goes
| amiss.
The cunningest hunter is hunted in
turn, and what he leaves of his kill is
meat for some other

BESSIE PLAYED BARBER.
And When She Got Through with tho
Boys They Were Perfect
Frights.

Bessie is the six-year-old daughter of
Chubbs, who owns a fine house on the
eastern side of Central park, Just of
Millionaire's row, relates the New York
Press. Bobby is the four-year-oid
darling of Blubbs, who lives a block
away. Harry is the curly-haired gem
of Hubbs The three families are mu-
tual friends The children are sent to
the park under the charge of one nurse
maid. This estimable person takes her
sewing with her and sits on bench
while the three children wander off to
play.
One afternoon the nurse espied a
friend. She dropped her scissors on a
bench and hurried off to see her. She
was gone ten minutes. according to her
own account. Meanwhile Bessie had
discovered the scissors.
Lets play barber" she said, "and I'm
the barber
So far as Bobby and Harry are con-
cerned Bessie is usually anything she
wants to be. When the nurse returned
she almost tainted. The six long,
golden curls that had adorned Harry
head when he entered the park were
hanging gracefully over the back of
the bench. Bobby's own "clubbed"
haircut straight across the back, with
bang in front-looke ed like q well-worn
feather buster.
What shall I dog" shrieked the
nurse, to a policeman who responded to
her screams.
He was deliberate policeman. He
calmly surveyed the wreck and then
observed:
"Do? Why, take the kids home. and
be thankful We didn't bring q razor"

When Feeding Aquatic Fowls.

In feeding aquatic fowls we should
bear in mind that in a natural state
their food is always mixed with water
to some extent. They can scarcely
swallow dry food, and the corn is not
as good for them in the grain as it is
ground coarsely, and mixed with wheat
bran in q soft mash: A duck or goose
is never so happy as when floating in
the shadows of creek or pond, where
the tSAder, Shiny growth at the bot
tom may be reached with the bill, by
Impending, and padding with the feet
for balance. Marshes snd reedy
places, where there are tender sprouts,
water bugs and creatures of the dark
and dank-that's the natural foraging
ground of the web-footed feathered
tribe-Farm and Ranch.

An Incubation Experiment.

In the incubation experiments,
S,e77 eggs from various sources have
been set in the incubators. OF these,
1905, or SO per cent, were fertile.
Three thousand three hundred and
forty-eight, or 46 per cent, of the fertile
eggs were Matched. This was 1856 per
cent. of the total number. The efficiency
Of Matching under various conditions
ranged from 0 per cent. to "a per cent.
These experiments were planned in the
direction of testing the efficiency Of the
machines and the influence of moisture
and room temperature upon the hatch.
