Chicken wisdom.

The mott tests the color quality Of
the white breeds. If the prize cockerel
shows brassiness after getting his new
feathers, he will be very likely to
transmit this failing to his chickens.
Study your individual birds, save the
steadfast thoroughbreds for years and
gradually develop whole focks Of them.
1t certainly pays both in satisfaction
and ia silver.
Do not allow the. drinking water
to be exposed to the sun. Give fresh
water twice daily.
For soft crop nothing is better than
a gill of strong vinegar in quart Of
drinking water.

Peonies. like enormous roses, in many
shades of delicate pink and deep Grim
son, also variegated and in pure white,
are grand flowers for massing at the
side Of an entrance drive or the lawn
for they give bold effect of rich color
which can scarcely be obtained by any
other herbaceous plant. Double, single
or semidouble varieties are all beautl
full and may be grouped together, each
plant being placed thirty inches from
the next, for they grow to larga
size and should not be disturbed when
once established In the fall
They require very rich soil, and they
will gather strength and beauty as
they form large clumps.

shavtngs as Scratching Litter.

A reader asks if shavings would
make good scratching litter, and as the
answer was not very positive in its
favor will venture to speak from sev-
eral years experience and say that

Of success and prefer good, clean shaw
ings to any other material, says L. E.
Hudson in American Poultry Advo-
cate. They will not pack down SO
much as straw, and as most shavings
are from dry lumber they will absorb
more moisture than other material
They will also last longer. With six
to ten inches of shavings on good
floor you may depend on your fowls
getting proper exercise.

The Useful Douglas mixture.

Douglas mixture is made as follows;
Sulphate of iron Common copperas),
eight ounces; sulphuric acid, one-half
fluid ounce; one gallon Of water. To
prepare this tonic, place the gallon of
water in a jug or crock and add the
copperas. When the latter is dissolved
drop in the sulphuric acid, and when
the compound clears it is ready for
use. A less quantity may be made in
a small bottle in the same proportions
The mixture is a tonic, which may be
given to fowls in drinking water at the
rate Of a gill to twenty-five head every
other day.

THoMPSoN,s METHOD.


dow a Famous Breeser Feeds His
Fowls :.nd I.e.ss y Chicks.
have found the hest way 10 get the
most eggs from fsyiig hens is TO have
plenty of litter in the pens either
straw or leaves and to scatter the dry
food into 1t to make them work, says
e. B. Thompson, the famous Barred
Rock breeder, in Reliable Poultry
Journal. Wheat, cracked corn and
clipped oats, the same that we feed
horses, are the best dry grains for me.
These grains feed in this way every
day, morning and night. At noon it is
good plan to throw a handful or two
of scratching food to keep the hens
exercising more.
Every day or every alternate day l
substitute a mash for the morning dry
feed. This is made of hominy or corn
meal, wheat bran, ground oats, white
wheat middlings and beef scrap, ali
scalded with milk or water and mixed
SO the mash will crumble. Twice a
week little powdered charcoal is put
in the mash This charcoal is and has
been for twenty-five years a favorite
conditioner with me. / value the
white -four middlings, as they keep the
bowels in fine condition. Laying hens
must be well fed, but must be made to
work so as not to get too fat.
l feed cockerels 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
a 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.
have never tried the hopper system
in feeding breeding stock, except for
scrap and granulated bone. These are
in every pen. do use hoppers with
growing chicks after they are two
months old. Until that age feed
three times day in front of the small
brood coops One day the hoppers are
filed with wheat and the next with
cracked corn In addition to this, ev-
cry day / give mash similar to that
mentioned above, fed on boards around
the fields. also feed beef scrap and
granulated bone to these. chicks from
dry food hoppers which are attached
to the colony houses about the range.
I have never tried the exclusive dry
feeding plan, as believe little soft
feed or mash every day or two Is bet
ter for poultry, either young or old.

Young chicks are given dry bread

fed dry. After few days they have
fine cracked corn and fine cracked
wheat and once day soft feed as
above, some spratt's food being put in
this. put much value on this food.

A COMMEMORATE POSITION
Grange officials should Not Accept
Political OGice, Says State Master
Fuller.

Grange Officials Should Not Accept
Political Office, Says State Master
Fuller.
State Master George A. Fuller has
set a good example for all grange Of
ficials in the emphatic statement which
he issued when it was reported in the
daily press that he had been selected
by the Hearst managers for the posi-
ton of state treasurer on their
ticket. Mr.. Fuller said, Il wish it to
be distinctly understood by everybody
that am not candidate for any po-
litical Office of any nature, nor will /
accept any political office from any
party while hold the position of mas
ter OF the state grange" There Is no
other defensible position for any i'm
portant officer in the state or national
grange to take concerning political
office. Never can one who does accept
such political recognition hope to avoid
criticism, just or unjust. It is wisest
to avoid every possibility Of an en-
tangling alliance While it may be
true and has been true that high officers
in the state grange have filed high Of
fees, politically, with honor to them
selves and to the grange, they have not
been without criticism as to using the
grange for political purposes. The
chasm between the grange and partisan
politics would better be left unbridged.

AS POLICEMAN.
ONE OF THE DUTIES OF THE GRANGE
SUGGESTED.

1t Should See That Lava Affecting
Farmers interests Are Enforced.
Instances Cited In Michigan.
Every well Informed member Of the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry is
aware of the fact that among its earli-
est achievements was the enforcement
of laws in the central western ltates
against sharpers who claimed royalties
on slide gates and driven wells. These
royalties amounted to about $40 on
each gate or well, and while the claims
were believed to be unjust and without
foundation most farmers would pay
the $40 rather than fight the matter in
the courts. At this point the grange
stepped in and took The farmers part
and with grange funds prosecuted a
test case, won the suit and stopped the
blackmail. 1t was an instance of what
the grange could do as policeman, and
it did it because it had the interests of
the farmer at heart.
A Michigan grange paper thinks that
there are still opportunities for the
grange to do police work and cites two
or three instances In one county in
Michigan peculiar state of affairs IS
disclosed The county treasurer has Il
large amount of funds in hand which
the law requires him to appOrtion every
three months among the townships, but
instead of doing so he puts it in bank
in which he is financially interested.
He tells the farmer supervisors when
they ask him why he does not comply
with the law that they are lot of
blockheads and when they ask him to
examine his books says that he does
not keep any and that he will appor-
ton the money when he gets ready.
Now, as mandamus proceedings would
cost about 500 and as there are not
many farmers who care to pay 500 to
yindicate a principle nothing is done
to bring this public servant to justice.
Our contemporary suggests that the
state grange might very well act as a
policeman in this case.
Another instance In Ohio relates to
Two Ceut 1dIG DclWCCn cldtAoAo AZ
that state. Michigan has the same law,
but the railroad running from Adrian
to Toledo. charges 8 cents per mile,
claiming that the two stations "are not
within the state" but are in two differ
ent states. A complaint to the inter
state commission might induce some
action in the matter. but no private in
dividual seems to have interest enough
to do it. Here again the grange police
man might step in and endeavor to Sc
cure Justice.
There is no doubt that the grange has
certain duties along this line and to
take the aggressive in enforcing laws
which bear upon the farmers interests,
but in those cases where farmers are
not directly interested it would be quite
as well to let others perform the police
act.

The prosperous grange not only gets

most successful grange is not the one
that has enrolled the largest number,
but that which keeps the largest per
