Detroit, Grand Rapids & Saginaw r. r.
At the monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the Detroit,
Grand Rapids e Saginaw railway in
his city Monday, full representation
was present, as follows: Bancroft,
E. p. Sherman; Ithaca, w. T. Maid
rett; Maple Rapids, Isaac Hewitt; AL

LaFlamboy; St. Johns, f. A. Travers;

ton Snyder; Brant, William Stern
berger; Milford, G. e. Lovejoy; Sag
inaw, ]. d. Smart; Owosso, T. NJ.
Euler; Ithaca, j. P. Gibbs.
1t was decided to commence the
work of construction in about three
weeks at St. Johns, working at the
same time east towards Owosso and
north towards Ithaca, Alma, and st.
Louis. This work, and everything
else north and west of Owosso will
probably be completed and cars will
be running, the promoters feel con-
fident, before snow flies. The work
south and east of Owosso will be left
until next spring.
The question of motive power has
not been decided. The executive
committee, which has all the details
of the work in hand, is watching a
new motor car in use on some west
ern roads, and If this continues to
perform satisfactorily, it will be the
kind used for passenger traffic, at
least, on the new line.

SCaly Legs.

"Scaly leg" is parasitic disease
caused by scab mite which breeds be-
meath the scales of the fowls legs. Mix
with Kerosene Goal oiD all it will take
up of crude naphthalene flakes. These
flakes can be obtained by your drug
gist through any manufacturing chem
list In the country at a moderate cost
per pound. Place the naphthalene ker-
osene solution In a pail or quart cup Of
convenient depth and dip the birds
legs into 1t as far as the hook joint, be-
Ing careful not to let it go above the
hook joint, as it will blister if 1t touch
es the soft tlCshy parts. Repeat this
daily until the fowls legs have been
dipped three times; then wash the
fowls legs with hot soap and water,
removing all scales which come away
readily. If the legs still remain scaly
dip them in the solution every other
day for week. Thorough treatment
will result in complete cure.

Rronchitfs In Fowls,

Bronchitis Is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the trachca and
bronchial tubes. The most frequent
cause of this disease is exposure to
dampness, to cold, to drafts Of cold air
and to sudden and extreme changes of
temperature. 1t may also result from
the inhalation of irritating vapors, dust
and other foreign substances. The first
thing to do is to remove the cause.
Begin treatment by placing the affect
ed birds in a comfortable, dry and rea-
sonably warm place where they will
not be subjected to drafts Of air, but
where the ventilation is good. Give
soft and cooling food, such as stale
bread or a mixture of bran and mid
dlings moistened with milk. Inhala-
ton of steam or vapor from boiling
water in which hops or small guam
tlty of carbolic acid has been placed Is
beneficial. Give with the food two
grains Of black anthony twice day.
A small quantity of tlaxsced stepped
in hot water makes a demulcent drink
that often gives great relief, and, in
the absence of this. honey or gum ara
bic may be added to the drinking wa
ter with advantage. In the early stages
it may sometimes be checked by giving
ten drops of spirit of turpentine in a
teaspoonful of castor oil and repeating
this dose after five or six hours.

The best plan to break up broody
hens IS to take them the first night they
are discovered on the nest or as soon
after as possible and conf1ne them in
slat bottom coop for few days. II
the bottom of the coop is so arranged
that the Stats are about two inches
apart and about two inches wide the
hen will not be able to find Il comfort
able place to sit and will be obliged to
roost. 1t is seldom necessary to keep
bird in such a coop longer than four
or five days. If she is persistent and
insists on going back on the nest after
you have returned her to the flock. put
her back in the Stat bottom coop for a
few days more.

The selection and mating of poultry
for any purpose whatever is the funda-
mental principle of success, according
to the Feather. No one can hope to
succeed in producing better laying hens
If he does not mate good layers for pro-
ducers. One cannot hope to rear eXhl-
bition fowls of quality unless he has
the best to breed from The high prices
paid for the best is only sample les
son of quality. Select the best, keep
the best, care for them properly, rear
the young chicks to the best advantage
and you will succeed from the carefully
selected mating. No matter how good
your breeding stock may be, If they
are not properly cared for and the
chicks Matched from them are not prop
erly reared to maturity the results will
not be successful. The fundamental
principles of success are good breeding

uct from them we'll Matched and grown
to healthful, vigorous maturity.
There is no use to hope to succeed with
slipshod methods.

PROPER FEEDING.
A Prominent Breeder Gives His Views
on an Important Matter.


E. b. Thompson, the noted Barred
Rock breeder, says in the Reliable
Poultry Journal:
IL have found the best way to get
the most eggs from laying hens Is to
have plenty of litter in the pens either
straw or leaves and to scatter the dry
feed into it to make them work
Wheat, cracked corn and clipped oats,
the same that we feed horses, are the
best dry grains for me. These grains
l feed in this way every day, morning
and night. At noon it is II good plan
to throw handful or two of scratch
Ing food to keep the hens exercising
more.
Every day or every alternate day
I substitute mash for the morning
dry feed. This is made of hominy or
cornmeal, wheat bran, ground oats.

all scalded with milk or water and
mixed so the mash will crumblc. Twice

hens must be we'll fed, but must be
made to work. so as not to get too fat.
81 feed cocllerels wheat, whole corn
instead of cracked corn, and the same
mash does for them once every day or
two. In each of my breeding pens is
pint cup fastened high enough up so
the cockerel can eat at any time, but
at the right distance from the floor so
the hens cannot reach it,"

ROyer's Poultry Chatter.

NJ. X. Boyer, perhaps the greatest
authority in the United States on utili-
tartan poultry keeping. has the follow
ing in the Western Poultry Journal
When there is Il lack Of egg produc-
ton it is scarcely ever attributed to
the management, although it is general
" due to some condition that comes be-
cause of the management.
The hen that produces 100 eggs a
year will pay her way and should be
entertained royalty on the farm.
To know what a hen IS doing is a
requisite to improvement. When it
is known that hen produces from fif-
teen to thirty pounds of eggs in year
1t means that she must be fed so as to
assist her in doing So She should have
the kind of feed that contains the ele-
ments Of the egg in their most avail
able form.
Well cared for hens should give at
least a GO per cent supply of eggs.
Laying hens should never be so fat
as to prevent the giZZard being felt
If food is given in excess Of what is
required to support life it is disposed
of mostly in three ways-somc hens
put on flesh. some fat and some lay
eggs The hc"h can be found in the
breast, wings and thighs. the fat in the
stern and alb lOmen and the eggs in the
nest.

POULTRY IN SMALL YARDS.
Large Grass Hu. ire Not Essential ,
to Heavy Egg Protection.

Large Grass RAJ. - are Not Essential
to Heavy Egg Production.
There Is Il common idea that fowls
can only be maintained in health where
there is Il large grass run. but this is
quite Il mistake. says the American
Poultry Advocate. \ few hens con
fined in Il small yard if fed properly
and kept clean will lay more frccl!
than those that have an unlimited
range and, usually being in more shell
tered quarters, they are more likely to
lay in the winter than farm poultry. Il;
is not ain expensive business to wire
Off Il corner of tie back garden and put
up Il small house. \ wooden house for
half dozen fowls need cost but very
little, aad wire for the run is very
cheap. Tho house must have ventila-
ton provided ut the top above the level
of the perch. An old box with little
well broken straw in it will do for q
nest. The floor of the house can be
made Of earth beaten hard and level.
A sprinkling of dry ashes under the
perch will enable the droppings to be
removed with trowel in few sec
onds. y portion of the wire run should
if possible be covered so as to afford
protection from the rain. and under
this should b. placed good sized box
of dry sand or sftcd earth. In this the
fowls will clean themselves, a great
essential. conducting immensely to
their health.
The feeding of the hens Is n very
simple matter. There must be a warm
breakfast OF meal given as soon after
the birds ar OF the perch as can be
managed. This meal should be com
posed of mddinrs and barley meal in
equal parts mixed into Il stiff paste
with hot water. Any scraps of meat
etc, from the house can be added and
stirred in with 1t. At noon some cut
grass, cabbage leaves or Othcr green
fool must be given and before the
birds 90 to rOOSt some grain, such as
wheat. Poultry mixtures of various
grains are not good; neither Is corn.
except handful or two in the way of
a treat. 1t is most important that the
fowls should only have as much nj
each feeding as they will eat grecdily;
none must be left over In cold or very
wet weather Il little pepper may be
added to the meal. There must always
be plenty of fresh water for drinking.

1t Is a prevalent notion that salt Is
poisonous to fowls, and this popular
impression Is based on many unhapp!
experiences with it when fed too lib

fed largely; but. on the other hand, it
Is beneficial when fed in moderate
amounts that Is. ut the rate say. Of a

1t is true that Il great many fowls have

The AncOna Fowls.

The Anconas are newer breed than
the Leghorns, and, while the same in
shape, they are tritie larger and will
develop In a little shorter time.
They are prolific layers Of large
white eggs, and we have never yet had
one the least bit broody.
Their beautiful black and white mot
tied coats, large combs and yellow legs
give them striking appearance, and
they are we'll worthy of all praise.
They are supposed to have originated
by crossing Black Minorcas and White
Leghorns, and. while they resemble the
Leghorn family mostly, they still have
some Of the Minorca characteristics.
