Poultry Notes.

Poultry Notes.
When alfalfa cannot be had, give
the chicks a chance at red clover.
Give the hens and young chicks a
chance for an occasional dust bath,
which will drive away lice.
Quarreling hens should be separated,
as hen that is worried will not do
her best at laying.
Poultry raising is now the fad In
Florida, where the industry has long
been neglected.
An ugly rooster should be disposed
Of. He is as dangerous in the flock
as when running at large.
When killing fowls, let the blood
drip into a pail of bran, as the mix
ture makes a splendid food.
Grit, oyster shells or a baked mix
ture of salt and charcoal should al
ways be available for the hens.
1t will soon be time to dispose of
the old hens, which should be done
along In the summer when they ouft
laying.
A poultry raiser gives the follow
ing combination for morning feed for
laying hens: Mash of bran and dry
cut alfalfa, equal parts, per cent
meat and blood meal, same amount
of crushed charcoal, the,whole season
ed with salt.

A Homemade Smoke House
A large cask or barrel may be used
for smoking a small quantity Of meat.
To make this effective, small pit
should be dug, and fat stone or
brick placed across it, upon which the
edge of the cask will rest. Half the
pit is beneath the barrel and half Is
outside. The head and bottom may
be removed, or hole can be cut in
the bottom a little larger than the por-
ton of the pit beneath the cask. The
head or cover is removed while the
mans are being nung upon cross sticks
as shown in the illustration. The cross
sticks rest upon two cross bars made
to pass through holes bored in the
sides of the cask. The head is then
laid upon the cask and covered with
moist sacks to confine the smoke Live
Goals are put into the pit outside of
the cask, and the fire is fed with damp

sowed Corn for Forage,

While the pasture may be all that is
desired throughout the summer, there
is always, danger Of drought Of con-
siderable severity, hence it pays to
be prepared for it by having a forage
crop of some kind. Possibly it may
not be needed, though it will, not be
lost, for it can be used to furnish va
riety, which is always desirable.
While number of grains and grasses
are used for this summer forage,
nothing is more reliable than sowed
corn, and by making repeated sowings
at Intervals one will have something
to feed In the late summer and fall.
While there are differences of opin-
ion as to whether field or sweet corn
is best for this purpose, both are good,
although we think the sweet corn fur
n1shes the most desirable forage.
Compromise the matter and test it for
yourself by sowing both. OF course,
it one has strong field Of alfalfa, this
will come in handy to help out the
pasture, but still the corn will not
come amiss, and it is not an expensive
crop to raise in this way, costing but
the seed and the use of the soil.

4Dout the construction of a silo the
cost has been materially reduced, not
withstanding the increase in the cost
of lumber. 1t is not within the pro-
vince of this department to give the
names of silo builders, but they are
easily obtainable from advertisements
in various agricultural papers or by
inquiry to the experiment station of
your State.
That the silo is one of the most eco
nomical ways of preserving food for
cows is well known and frequently one
can find structure in the neighbor-
hood which he can copy with a few in
structions If he is handy with tools.
for they are not difficult to build. The
silo does away with much of the disa.
greeable work of corn harvesting and
furnishes food for the cows as good
as the green food in the shape of
steamed clover that is SO valuable for
poultry. If you can find any farmer
within reasonable distance of you who
owns silo it will pay to visit and talk
with him

Those Who Favor Park Along Shingle

Part of Camden Place is in favor of
buying park along Single creek, an
other part is opposed to it, and the rest
of the Place is on. the fence watching
the two factions and their merry fight.
Much ill-will has already been engen-
dered. So hot has the contest become
that some prudent business men have
declined to take sides.
The park advocates have labored for
many years to secure a park for that
part Of the city. The waterworks park
is a pretty place, but it has given the
lovers of the beautiful a taste for more
of the same kind. Moreover, it is nee
essary that the banks of Single creek
be preserved against polluting effects,
else Single creek, now a charming
brook, will become an open sewer like
Bassett s creek. The land will never
be cheaper than it is now. and the time
to get it is before any improvements
have been made which will be costly
to remove later on. Even tho no money
be spent for years, it is good policy to
secure the land at once. -
The burden will be so light that no
one will feel it, they argue. The cost
of the land, including the interest on
the certificates, will amount to $34 $50

Chief Engineer Stevens of the Panama

give the commission information upon DIFF

more particularly his views as TO the type
of canal. These views are already known
TO the officials who are in charge Of the
canal work, but an official statement from
the engineer is desired. Mr.. Stevens told
officials who recently visited the isthr1us
that If a sea-level canal was 10 be con-
structed the government ought TO put boys
under twenty years of age in charge of II,
so that they would last until the work was
completed. The visit of Chief Engineer
Stevens for the especial purpose of giving
his views as to the type of canal indicates
that the judgment of the consulting board
of engineers IS not to determine definitely
the type but that the commission VIII
earnestly take up the subject and make
recommendations. From what has been
said by members of the commission and
the views already officially expressed by
them, there seems little doubt that they
will disagree with the recpmme endatio,fs OF
the consulting board. which has voted TO
recommend a sea-level canal
Members of the consulting board were
about the commission rooms today, put no
formal meeting will be held until Thurs
day. This may be the last regular meeting
of the board.
