The Bureau of Animal Industry has
just prepared Il short bulletin embody-
ing a number of useful hints TO poultry
raisers. In submitting the text to Secre-
AIRY Wilson, Chief Melvin of the
Bureau stated that the article was pre-
pared with the special end in view of
furthering the purpose of his Bureau
TO give the raisers of poultry, especially
the general farmer, the best informa-
ton possible in a very concise form.
The article is written by G. Arthur
Bell, Assistant Animal Husbandman of
the Bureau of Animal Industry.
Selection of a Variety.
Pure breeds are desirable, says Mr..
Bell, as with these one has a flock of

fowls which will produce carcases and
eggs of a much more uniform shape,
color, and size han will mongrels, all
of which aids in finding a ready sale.
If one already has a flock of mongrel
fowls and cannot afford to buy pure
breeds, he should choose a purebreed
male bird of the breed preferred and
mate him with a few of the best mon
grel females. This system, if carefully
followed for a few years, will give a
h~igh-grade flock that will be practically
as good as purebreds, SO far as market
conditions for dressed fowls and eggs
are concerned.
Choice of variety will depend largely
on the purpose for which the fowls are
kept-whether eggs alone, botheggs and
meat, or meat alone is the chief object;
whether white-shelled or brown shelled
eggs are desired; and whether sitters
or nonsitters are wanted.
Egg BreedS.-Nonsitters and produc-
ers of white-shelled eggs-Leghorns
and Minorcas.
General purpose breedS.-Sitters and
producers of brown-shelled eggs-Ply-
mouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Orphing-
tons, and Rhode Island Reds.
Neat Breeds itters and producers
of br~own-shelled eggs-Light Brahmas,
Cochins, and L~angshans.
What Kind of Houses.
LOcdtiOH.-Select an elevation hav-
ing a natural drainage away from the
building, a dry, porous soil, such as a
sandy or gravelly loan, being prefer
able to a clay soil.
ETpOSUre.-As sunlight and warmth
are essential to the best success with
poultry, the buildings should face the
south. A southeastern exposure is pref
cradle to a southwestern one if a
direct southern exposure cannot be OBJ
tanned.
Size of HouSe.-The size of the house
will depend almost entirely on the
number of birds to be kept. If in flocks
of forty to sixty, about 5 square feet
of -four space should be allotted to
each hen. The building should be high
enough for the attendant to avoid
humping his head against the ceiling.
A House for Fifty to Sixty Fowls.
The best house for fifty to sixty fowls
IS 90 by IA feet; front elevation 6h
feet, back elevation 5R feet, with
double pitch roof of unequal span. The
roof, if %shingled, should have not less
than one-third pitch. If roofing paper is
used, one-. uarter pitch will answer. In
the front, OIL south wall there should be
placed two windows about l foot from
the top and 8 feet from the ends; 8 by
10 inches is a good-sized pane to use
in a twelve-light sash, making the sash
about 8 by 8 inches high, n 2 feet 5
inches wide. A door 212 by 6 feet may
be made in one of the end walls, and
also a small door in the front wall, for

Rightfully comes she by the title,
for according to statistics the Ameri-
can hen yields more money annually
than any other one farm product. With
eggs as low as a cent a piece-a very
cheap and nutritious food-a well
bred hen laying about two hundred
eggs a year has a value of 81. An
estimate is made that 81 a year will
keep her in comfortable if not luxuri-
Gus, quarters. The trouble is that
millions Of barnyard scrubs do not
yield a hundred eggs a year.
According to Government authori-
ties the earning from the egg and
poultry industry amounts to about
$3.50, 000, 900. Cotton, the king of crops
with a value reaching up to $3.50 ,000,-
900, is thus dethroned by the magnii-
cient earnings of the fowl.
During 1905 the total value of all the
gold, silver, wool and sheep produced
in the United States was 1922, 000, 900.
The wheat crop, considered the most
valuable of all agricultural products
had a value in the same period of
1929, 600, 900. The great American
hog, consumed at home and abroad,
was valued at about $186,529,0 OBS. The
sugar production of the country was
only $780, 600, 900. The combined value
of the oat and potato crops was only
$3.50, 000. 900. The industrious little
gaIlus domesticus produces enough
eggs to require a train of refrigerator
cars 900 miles long filled with 43,000,-
900 crates, each of which holds $50
eggs. The value of the egg as a food
product is equal to that of any food
stuff of it's size.

When a man becomes famous, all
the incidents of his past life are laid
bare. There is a great story going
around of how Nick Longworth came
near to attaining 10 fame some years
ago, in connection with horses.
The story runs" according to a
prominent horseman, that some years
ago H. NJ. Ziegler, of Cincinnati, the
noted owner of thoroughbreds, and an
intimate friend of Mr.. Longworth,
took the latter down to his Kentucky
thoroughbred farm to show him his
collection of fine yearlings.
"All of these yearlings were as yet
unnamed.
"Longworth,' said Ziegler, as they
strolled about the stalls, you'd better
let me name one of these yearlings
after you. They're a swell bunch, and
almost all of them are well-nigh bound
to do something big in the world

THE NEGRO As A FARNER.
Booker Washington Says He 10 at
His Worst in Large Cities

Booker 7. Washington In an address
at Washington, d. c., recently struck
a keynote when he stated that, The
negro is at his worst in the crowded
life of a large city, and at his best in
the rural districts where he owns and
cultivates the soil.
The speaker said the demand in the
South for negroes trained for teachers
and leaders in the class room, and the
factory was tremendous; but more
pressing yet was the demand from the
best white people of that section for
negroes to take charge of their farms,
diaries and other industries. This de-
mand is shown, he said, by the fact
that every one of the 525 students who
left Tuskegee last summer had been en-
gagged weeks before the end of the term.
Washington is solicited by mail. tele-
graph, and in person to furnish
trained negroes. and could have found
places for twice the number had they
been forthcoming.
Association with the white people
has given the negro new wants, de-
sires and ambitions" said Mr.. Wash
ington: ITO these, education is neces-
sary, both to appreciate fully the newly
awakened feelings and to provide
means for their rational satisfaction.
Hence. from the most selfish point of
view, the right kind of education is
beneficial for the negro"
That the negro is not naturally an
idler Is shown, the speaker said, by the
trebling of the South's industrial
wealth in the last twenty years, with
out any appreciable increase in immi-
grafton. This advance Is due, he
thought, in great part to the we'll
directed labor of the negro.

Young chickens should be fed a little
at a time and often. If they are given
ground food alone, there is a great
danger of overlooking. Very good re-
suits may be obtained by the feeding
entirely of cracked grains from the
time the chickens are Matched until
they reach maturity. There are on the
market many prepared chick feeds, con-
sisting of different mixtures of suitable
cracked grains. After the chickens are
five or six weeks old, the prepared chick
feed may be dropped and cracked corn,
cracked wheat, hulled oats, etc, fed to
them instead.
If the chickens can not get grass,
provide green feed such as lettuce and

Ducks don't need water to thrive
There are many farms in this country,
where thousands of these fowl are
raised each year for market, and where
there is not even a puddle for them to
founder in. One of these establish
ments is said to furnish 10000 ducks
a year.

Not the LAYING Kind.

A few days ago a rather bashful
young woman went into a Southern
grocery store with some chickens to
sell. She inquired the price of fowls,
and at the same time put hers on the
counter. The clerk didn't notice that
the chickens feet we're tied, and asked
her if they would lay there. She bit
her handkerchief, turned her head, and
said, "No, sir, they are ROSTERS"

The Feeding of Hens.
In order to obtain eggs, it is neces-
sary to have healthy, vigorous stock,
properly fed. To do their best, hens
should be fed grain, animal, and green
food. They should be fed enough to
keep them in good condition but not
overfat, and should be induced TO take

Thousands OF Visitors Are Ex.

1ne cOntemplateQ Street carnl-
val to be held in this city August
II, IS, Is, II and 18 is a certainty.
A contract with the T. I. Cash
Carnival company Of st. Paul to
show here on the dates mentioned
was signed today by President
C.H. Miles and Secretary George
Markham of the Commercial
club.
Final action in the securing of
the carnival was taken by the
Commercial club at a special
meeting held yesterday after
noon in the city hall to confer
with Harry White, advance agent
for the company.
The whole proposition of hold
ing a carnival in Bemidji in
August was thoroughly dis
cussed at a previous meeting of
the club and voted on, but there
were a few details which needed
explaining, and Mr.. White made
a special trip here to answer
questions and sign the contract,
if everything was found salts
factory.
One of the doubtful questions
was as to the special privileges
for selling on the streets asked
for by the company. Mr.. White
said that these privileges were
merely for can and knife racks,
for selling confetta, tin whistles,
etc. The company does not
wish to sell cigars, drinks, fruits,
or anything that will interfere
with the local business houses in
any way.
Another question raised was
as to the feasibility of the city
hiring it's own free attractions
and not paying the carnival COM
pany the $500 asked for. 1t was
found that list of free shows,
such as the Cash company
carries, could not be secured for
less than from $1,000 to 81, 600,
and that it would be much
cheaper to pay the $500. More
over, q portion of this sum will
be returned to the club, as it
receives ten per cent of the gross
receipts of all the paid shows,
and the Ferris wheel and the
merry-go-round, up to 81, 800,
and twenty per cent of all money
taken in over that sum.
A committee from the club
composed of Messrs. Miles,
Schneider, Bacon and Carter
waited on the city council last
night and secured the free use
of the streets for the carnival
