II Pays to Rni.o ponl,rx.

Poultry is and has been, since the
''feathered flock in the dooryard" be-
came known to the human family, a
needful adjunct to the table; produc-
ing eggs and meat, according to the
need Of the day, in abundance. After
one decides TO raise poultry, the next
question arises. What breed shall
raise? Can l make scrub stock do?
Yes, you can make scrub stock do, il
you are SO situated or located that you
cannot get the pure bred Stockton
home use the common fowl does quite
well except it may not lay as many
eggs as pure bred hen would. There
is not quite so much meat on them. and
when you wish to sell eggs for setting
ttoy only bring you the market price,
whf.N those of pure breeds of recog-
nize6 stock will bring twice the mar
ket price when sold by the Setting"
Now for mother hens prefer such
hens as the Buff Cochin or Dominique
or Brabma. They cover the eggs more
comfortably when set and have also
the advantage of being able to cover
the chicks until they are feathered.
And when they are used for meat on
the table you have more Of It than
you could get from a Black Spanish or
Brown Leghorn. But for laying quail
ties, bet on the Spanish and Leghorn
hens every time. They like to forage,
and if they are placed on good
range will pick up a large part of
their food. True, they lay a smaller
egg, but ii brings as much in the mar
ket as the Cochin eggs, and they have
the advantage of keeping on" laying

Tattening Swine with Corn.

While this practice is by no means
to be commended, for the reason that
it is not so proftabl or economical. and
often prepares the way for disease by
getting the digestive organs in an I'M
healthy condition, yet by those who
persist in this way of feeding. some
suggestions rs to the uses and abuses
of corn as feed for hogs may be
acceptable
In the first place, ii is necessary to
grow that variety of corn which con-
tains the largest per cent. of protein,
the flesh or muscle making constituent
which is essential for the proper de-
yelopment of the frame of any young
animal. This corn may be obtained
by hand selection, but the better way
is to purchase the seed from a repu-
table seed corn breeder. There is a
general opinion prevailing that yellow
corn is of higher feeding value than
the white varieties. If this is true, it
is because the yellow corn contains
more protein and less starch than the
white, rs a class. There is undoubted-
ly difference in varieties of either
color, but in all varieties it is essential
that the planting should he early

Making Bone md MnsrIe.


Assuming that the fowls will have
more or less range during the summer,
1t is n good time to experiment some in
grain feeding in order to determine
which combination gives the best re-

main thing is to feed them so they will
get bone and muscle and Just the right
amount of plumpness; this they cannot
do wholly on grass and a little grain.

Making Good Honey.

The modern apiarist must of neces-
| sity use foundation if he wishes
| straight combs that can be emptied by
extracting, or choice, fancy section
honey comb honey, and nothing else
will sell in the markets to-day.
The broken, dark honey of our grand
| fathers days cannot be sold at any
price. Sugar syrup could be fed to the
bees to put in boxes, but it would still
be sugar syrup and taste like it, and
not like honey, and so much of it would
be used by the bees for increased brood
rearing that it would not be profit
| able even if it were honest
Extracted honey can be best raised
by the farmer and comb by the spe-
cialst, since it requires more skill
and experience to produce the latter.
and when raising it the bees usually
swarm in the farmers busiest season,
the haying time, and if not immediate
ly hived 90 to the woods and the profits
are gone from that colony for, the sea-
son, for it is the first swarm that u.s.
ually gathers most of the honey.
Bees dislike very much to work in
the small section boxes and sometimes
sulk and refuse to do so until the best
part of the honey flow is over, and
If more than one swarm is allowed to
issue while working for comb honey,
very little honey is obtained from any
of them. With extracted honey it is
very different If plenty of empty
combs are given TO colony in the be-
ginning of the season they seldom
swarm, and with such n large working
force, a much larger amount can be
obtained. In the fall, when the press
of farm work is over, the combs can
be removed from the hive and placed
in the honey extractor and the honey
thrown from them by centrifugal force,
very much as cream Is separated, and
the frames of comb can then be stored
away until another season. We have
combs that have been in use for twenty
years as good as ever for that purpose.
Never destroy good frame of worker
comb, for they are good property for
the beekeeper TO have. Store them in
cold, dry cellar and the waxmoth
will not trouble them. They should be
wired, however, or they break from the
frames while extracting. Extracted
honey sometimes does not sell quite as
readily as comb. and why? 1t is the
pure honey without the indgestlble
wax. Physicians tell us that wax is
no more digestible in the human stom-
ach than leather or India rubber, and
believe was no more intended by our
Creator to be eaten than the skins of
fruits or the shells of nuts.
Pure extracted honey will always
granulate or candy when exposed to
continued cold. and this is the only
positive proof of its perfect purity. 1t
should he sold in that form, and then
the public could be sure Of what they
were buying. But as long as there is
so much dlstrust of granulated honey
1t will have TO be heated and sealed
like canned fruit TO keep 1t liquid.
Most honey producers put it up that
way at the present time To sum up,

1,1oo Francs for Kings Umbrella.

his umbrella in a hanson when driv.

for his honesty by King Leopold the
sum of 100 francs. The astute Jehu,
however, begged great favor of the
king. Could he have the umbrella
instead of the money? The favor was
granted, and before many days had
passed the cabman mad put up the
umbrella for sale, and 1t was knocked
down to some royal enthusiast for
100 francs. When King Leopold
heard of this he exclaimed: We'll,
