EGGS IN WINTER.
Hints as to the Care of Poultry -
Produce Holiday Eggs.

Hints as to the Care of Poultry q
Produce Holiday Eggs.
How to get eggs in winter is one OF ~
most perplexing problems that eonfroaf
every farmer. II allowed to follow hsx
natural inclination, to lay in the summsr
I'D rest during the cold months, good rs-
salts cannot be obtained from any hen
The whole secret, according to experienced
poultrymen, lies in the bringing up.
To get eggs in the winter one must start
year in advance. Chickens should be
Matched early--not later than April and
the pullets should be kept in a growing
condition SO they will reach maturity be--
fore cold weather comes. As soon as it l.
possible to distinguish the cockerels from
the pullets they should be separated and
given different diets. A pullet which is do
sired for laying during the winter shouIZ
not be fed the same fattening ration that Z
broiler requires.
Pullets which become mature before ex-
tremely cold weather will commence -
lay at once, and if given a reasonable
amount of care will continue to produce
eggs all winter. The number Of eggs q
puiict Will lay uepenQb SOlely Oh
how well she is treated. While it is not
true that certain breeds are winter layerE,
is well to avoid breeds having large combs,
because hen will not lay after her comb
is frozen.
Pullets which have laid during the win
ter should not be fed for eggs during tho
summer if it is desired to have them pro-
duce eggs again the following winter.
When cold weather begins, however, they
should be fed literally on an egg-produc-
ing ration. Some poultry raisers say To
make your hens think it is summer all Tho
year round and they will lay. This il
good advice, in way, but inexperienced
persons are likely to encounter more seri-
GUS troubles in trying to follow it THAI
the ones they sought to avoid.
If the poultry house is kept too ware
and is poorly ventilated, the fowls will be-.
come sick. Hens must be in perfect
health in order to keep the egg basket
filled in the winter. The litter on th0
floor of the poultry house should be kept
perfectly dry at all times, and by scratch
ing in it the hens can usually keep them
selves warm in the coolest weather. HenG
can stand considerable cold, if it does not
freeze their combs. In rainy weather they
should be kept off the floor as much as
possible, as dampness is even more in
furious to them than cold.

A Long Time,

In the service Of a certain committee of
the Senate, the chairman of which is a
southern Senator, is certain capable
young stenographer and typewriter, in
addition to the clerk of the committee.
One day the chairman, missing the very
capable stenographer, inquired of the
clerk where he was.
"He is not here to-day, sir" responded
the clerk. ''His father is dead"
Some days later the chairman again
asked for the missing employee, only to
receive the same reply from the clerk:
''He is not here to-day, sir. His father
is dead"
The chairman said nothing, but looked
very interested.
A full week thereafter the head of the
committee for the third time inquired as
to the whereabouts of the stenographer.
In reply the clerk began the usual an
nouncement:
''He is not here to-day, sir. His"
"Will you kindly advise me-" inter-
rupted the chairman, with alarming
suavity, "whether that young man in
tends to stay away from his duties all the
time his father is dead?"

moose charges with a wild rush through
the camp, scattering fire-b brands and pots
with its huge feet, the Indian guides
cover in terror before it. As likely as not
they will refuse to to 60 further with their
employers, and will beg to be released from
their contract.
II at all possible, the Indian hunter will
not shoot at the moose from the front or
from where he can be seen. In order that
this contingency may be avoided, one Of
the guides will endeavor to attract the at
tention of the moose by rubbing his hand
against tree or by breaking q tiny twig
A diminutive dog is sometimes taken along
The lordly moose disdains to fee from
such puny, barking foe, but impetuously
strikes at the dog with his murderous
forefeet, the unknown hunter meanwhile
getting certain aim at vital spot. At the
moment OF firing an invocation is often
shouted out imploring the forgiveness of
the moose, and giving some good reason
such as the lack of good meat, for instance
for the intended murder.
The black bear is generally considered
In the light OF the clown of the forest
menagerie. His appearance is hailed with
chuckle, and though respected for his
strength and tenacity Of life, he may al
ways be attacked and killed. Good luck
is pretty certain to come to camp where
the carcass OF black bear is strung up.
In the days before head hunting had
became the rage, the head of the moose
was always smashed in by the guides be-
fore skinning operations were begun.
Bruins head was never subjected to such
indignity. Following one of the most
primitive customs of the northern woods,
the guides of to-day take particular pains
in skinoing without damaging the skull
OF the bear, which is sometimes set up
upon pointed stake driven firmly into
the ground beside road, stream, or
lake, and left there just for luck, as the
men say.

KJTTERY To CARIBOU.

Frank E. Southard, prominent Bath
fifty-two years.
A she at Old Town having capacity
for two cars and an electric car stored
therein by the Bangor Railway & Electric
Co., were demolished with dynamite early
Friday. Except that two men were heard
running away just before the explosion,
there was no clue to the perpetrators. The
explosion blew out the sides and top of
the building and reduced the car to
kindling wood. The damage is about
5000.
Four small store buildings on Cape Jelli-
son, Stockton Springs, were burned
Thursday with contents. The losers are

MCGEE, cigars and tobacco, $500, no in

rant, $500, no insurance. The buildings,
valued at $500, were owned by Harry W..
Clark; no insurance.
Capt. Frank A. Dean, one of the
best-known citizens OF Hampden,
died Friday, aged seventy-nine years.
Capt. Dean had been in poor health
for long time. He was one OF the old

commanded many large vessels and visited
almost every large port in the world.
