The most interesting fact clicltcd g !. g at :

Western to have the trade OF Norfolk.
The two roads, said Mr.. Hobart. had an
agreement that the Sra to on coal from tho

five cents. higher than the rate over the

Much depends upon the selection OF
eggs for Matching. Eggs for this pur'
pose should be Of uniform shape and
size and thickness Of shell, says a re-
cent bulletin Of the Connecticut expert
ment station Rough shelled. dirty and
notified eggs with thin shells should be
excluded. There is some doubt as to
the ACCESSIBILITY Of setting small eggs
While it is possible that they may be
as fertile and produce as many chicks
as larger eggs 1t is probable that pull
let's from the former will have tend
ency to lay small eggs" Small eggs
should therefore be avoided.
Eggs which are over five days old
should not be used. Every egg should
be carefully dated when taken from the
nest In order to avoid error on this
point. While good matches have been
secured from eggs that were three
weeks old when placed In the incuba'
tor as q rule they cannot be expected
to hatch we'll after they are ten days
old"

to them. The straw or husk or hull o.
the oats has no food value whatever
For this reason it is waste Of time
and labor in the life Of the hen to com
pei her to grind up the hull Of the oats
which retards rather than Increases tht
egg production. Then, again, the poim
Of the oat hull Is very sharp, and wher
fed to any extent it Is possible thai
It will lacerate the interior Of the
crop of the fowl, creating an irritation
that may lead to disease. Some of the
best authorities in the veterinary worlC
claim that much of the poultry thai
dies without apparent cause may bt
attributed to the irritation Of the inter
nal parts of the crop and the passage
to the gizzard with the sharp points OF
oats and other sharp pointed grain
Whether this be true or not can be sub
stantiated by those who feed any guam
tity Of oats to their poultry. The great
er part of the oats that are fed to poul
try at the present time Is ground Into
meal and mixed into the mash food.

The Incubator on the Farm.

1t Is hard to get hens to sit in winter
and almost necessary for the farmer
to use lncubators to raise brollers In
time to bring the best prices, says
American Cultlvator. The incubator
on the farm Is being brought to more
profitable use every year. There is no
doubt that the incubator and brooder
method Of raising chickens is a wonder
ful Improvement on the hen method. 1t
Is cheaper and greater number Of
fowls can be raised from the same
number Of eggs. Hens can be made to
lay nearly double as many eggs If they
are not required to sit, and 1t is a good
plan to use incubators instead Of tax
Ing the hens from their work. The in
cubator Is no longer an experiment.
There are several first class machines
on the market, and no mistake can be
made in buying any one Of half
dozen leading machines which are
guaranteed to give satisfaction.

GRAIN FOR CHICKS.
Feed Millet Seed sparinEly - Oats
Should BE Hulled.

We noticed a short time ago In one
Of our exchanges very pertinent ex.
preston, says American Fancler. II
was: "A gill Of millet seed Is better
than a quart. The small seed induce
the hen to scratch for them"
This statement is true. We wit
messed the dire disaster Of the utter de.
struction Of many hundreds Of young
chicks in a brooder house through the
feeding of too much mlllet seed. Millet
seed should be fed rs extra or dessert,
just little now and then to coax the
hens along and to induce them to
scratch in the litter for it-just few
seed in the grain mixture for the little
chicks, not much, just about table
spoonful to q quart Of mixture. This
will be Of benefit where too much will
destroy their lives. 1t Is too oily, too
rich. Its tendency Is to swell up and
clog the bowels. This Is why 1t proves
so destructive to both old and young
fowls when fed too literally.
Kafir corn is recommended for young
chicks. So is pearl barley. Both are
good. Neither of these, however,
should be fed whole. They should al
ways be cracked into two or more
pieces before they are fed to any ex-
tent either to young chicks, hens OF
pigeons. Kafflr corn that is thoroughly
we'll dried Is almost as hard as bullet
and just as easy Of reduction in the
crop of the poultry. For these reasons
1t should be cracked or broken open be.
fore being fed. A little Of this, like the
millet, may be fed to grown poultry OF
pigeons. but not young squads OF
chicks.
We often recommend hulled oats fol
poultry of all kinds. This Is to avoid
the feeding Of the husks or bulls Of the
oats. Where you cannot obtain the
hulled oats get them clipped. This Il
oats passed through machinery and the
greater part Of the hull trimmed there
from. This reduces the consumption
Of the husks. 1t is in Its natural state
more than one-half husks. When fed
to poultry in its natural state they
must grind up and consume one pint OF
straw to every quart of oats that is fed
