WHAT TO FEED CHICKENS,
Give Variety and Feed in Such a
Way as to Make Hens Work
for It.

A variety of feed is best. No sim
gle grain equals a mixture. Rye is
a poor feed, barley is good and wheat
and oats the best, says Farming. A
mixture of the last three mentioned
with smaller proportion of corn, is
very satisfactory. Only sound grain
should be fed. The average screenings
in the market are an uncertain auanti-
ty.. Feed all grains in deep litter.
rye or wheat stray being the best.
SO that the hens will be compelled to
scratch and get exercise. Give plenty
OF grit, crushed oyster-shells, and pure
water. We usually feed mash once a
day, and prefer not to feed it in the
morning, but to. let them warm. up
by scratching in the coolest part of
the day. The mash may vary large

CARRYING FRAMES

Bee Culture. The illustration shows
the idea. use a piece of %xA steel
tire for the backbone, as call il
and a leaf of a uggy-spring for the
front part. The spring has to he
drawn out thin except about a foot in
the center where the backbone is
welded on. You can carry hive in
both hands if it is not too heavy. To
put it on a hive you take hold of the
front part, spread it open, and slim
it forward until the back end hooks
on; then the more. you lift, the more
it holds on. 1t wants to be made so
that it touches the outsides and end
about three inches. Make one and
try it; and if you like it, let other
bee-keepers see how much easier il
is to use this than it is to carry them
in the arms.

That was why Policeman Flynn was
finally made a sergeant. He had faith

years in many parts of the city, and

THE PRODUCTION OF HONEY
Some Facts in Reference to the Busi-
ness of Bee Keeping in the
United States.

Honey is produced upon a large
number OF farms throughout the
United States in considerable guam
titles for home consumption, concern
ing which accurate data are not
available. Producers of honey ex-
clusively are uncommon, except in
California, although many farms in
Utah, Texas and Arizona are devoted
to Bookkeeping and fruit growing as
principal industries. Most of the bees
of the United States are kept on fruit
and dairy farms, as a side issue.
While there is a well-sustained
market for the product, most of it
never reaches the general market, but
is consumed in the locality where pro-
duced. Honey is not subject to the
same price fluctuations as perishable
produce, but generally meets with a
steady sale. That shipped from the
far west is generally extracted honey,
while producers in the eastern and
central states sell mostly in the
comb. The one-pound frame is the
uniform package, a case holding IL
to "a of these
The Orange Judd Farmer is au-
thority for the statement that the
production of honey in the United
States is in excess of consumption,
and something over $4,000 worth is
exported annually. The total exports
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1904, were $69,317; in 1905, about
$4,000. The yield for 1905 was we'll
up to an average for the entire coun-
try, although it was only moderate in
the central western states and in
many points of the east.

So, as solemnly as we had come, we
marched back through tho first and

again in the silence Of the cardinals

Richelieu seemed to forget me. He
stood brooding on the hearth, with his

And in moment I was outside the

divided between gratitude and resent

the same silence, the same monastic

A fortnight later we were at Coche-

his enemies, saw, with cold, smiling

roof by four wires and hangs about
two feet above the ground. Then I
lay 2x4-inch pieces upon it that are
just long enough to reach across. The
roosts are laid on these. The plat
form or droppings board should hang
out about six inches from the wall
and can be held in place by hooks
attached to the wall. The roosts and
2x4 pieces are laid on but not nailed.
This makes cleaning easy, for they
can be simply lifted off and the drop
pings scraped off into a basket with a
hoe. Afterwards the roosts and 2x4s
are replaced, when they can be treat
ed with kerosene, which will kill the
lice.

POULTRY POINTS.

Water is as important as food and

Furnish as great variety of diet
as possible and feed as much as is
eaten up clean.
Coal oil applied to the roots in small
quantities will kill parasites.
Do not hatch bantams before Sep

minutive and beautiful.
AS rule, in buying screenings you
pay too much for useless diet.
, Swelled eyes, with running at the
nostrils indicates roup.
No amount of ventilation will over
come the evil of steaming filth in the
pens.
Poultry in orchards destroy insects
and keep trees in good condition.
Gravel should always be supplied to
fowls that are fattened in confne-
ment.
There is more profit in marketing
fowls early than at any other time:
prices are not only better, but there
is a saving of feed.
Leg weakness in young birds comes
from high feeding and forced growth.
Bone meal and oyster shells will aid
in preventing such weakness.
Lime is a purifier and should be
used often as wash to coops,
perches and nest boxes. Sprinkle the
places most frequented by them with
air-slacked lime.

That Policeman Barney Flynn is still
Patrolman Flynn is due :: entirely to
himself. Others are patrolmen be-
cause they cannot be sergeants or lieu
tenants or captains; Flynn is one from
choice. He is probably the only man
on "th' foorce" who, having been pro-
noted, has made a special and earnest
plea to be "ray-dooced to tn FRANKS"
as he himself put it. In this he is
unique, but in many other respects he
Is typical Of q certain class of police

would be heard Of him in the news

the whole body, and II they attain
high rank they can demoralize good
part OF it. Integrity is so important
in those to whom is Entrusted the en-
forcement Of the law that there is a
natural tendency to magnify the evils
that are seen to exist, and the depart
ment is gagged by the worst rather
than the best that is to be found in
it. The men Of the rank and file. as
a rule, are faithful, earnest and rea-
sonably clever. So, il Policeman Bar
ney Flynn does not seem to you typ.

the spectacular that gets in the lime
light Of publicity. and faithfulness.
perseverance and honesty are not often
spectacular, so we hear more of things
we admire less; and, hearing more OF
them, we gain the idea that they are
the predominating features of modern
life.
True, Policeman Flynn may be more
resourceful than some of his brother
officers, and he may have more of
hard-headed common sense, but he is
no more conscientious than the great
majority of them. Like them he has
many faults, not the least of which is
a desire to have as easy and comfort
able a life as possible, but he acts al
ways according to his best judgment.
ard he defends his acts with rare
philosophy when they are, assailed
For instance; it might be charged
against him that he has made fewer
arrests than any other man Of his
length of service, and this would carry
weight in quarters where policemans
usefulness is judged solely by the
number of prisoners he brings in.
But there are men of experience who
will insist that this is not true gauge
Of merit, and Policeman Flynn IS one
of them. He does not like to make ar
rests; he does not deem it necessary
in instances where others do. NH
IT'S a nuisance" he says, 'to* be
dhraggin' ye-er man to tn station an
