Old friends and neighbors stood

Effects of Gentleness on Poultry.

We do not think that any practical
poultry keeper has any doubt about it
being prime necessity of success to
be gentle and have all your poultry as
tame as possible. The American Agri
culturist gives the ideas of three cor
respondents as follows:
My experience has been that gentle
ness is conducive to increased egg pro-
duction, since gentle fowl has better
nerves than one that is wild, and the
we'll balanced or strong nerved indi
vidual is one that counts in the animal
OF the human kingdom. This is my
opinion after twenty-five years breed
ing for show room and market.
Gentleness and kindness should be
used in all poultry yards, as it improves
egg production, and the quality of the
meat also, as fowls grow fatter where
they are we'll treated
It is important in the care of all
poultry that the attendants should be
gentle and quiet of manner. Do not
let strangers go into the pens or poultry
yards.

kinds of fruit trees do well in hen yards,
and grow more vigorously there than
in other localities
One gives his experience as follows in
planting a little scrub Burbank plum
tree that was thrown away by nurs
eryman in one corner of his hennery.
At the same time he planted large and
beautiful plum trees in other parts of
his ground but the little scrub tree
in his hennery has made five times the
growth that the larger trees did in very
fertile ground He placed a little pile
of stones about the base of this plum
tree to prevent the hens from uncover
ing the roots by wallowing in the soil,
as they often will. This pile of stones
undoubtedly kept the ground moist and
aided the growth of the tree, but the
fertility of the hennery yard and the
continuous scratching of the hens kept
the soil cultivated, and grass and weeds
had no opportunity to grow. The little
tree had nothing else to 90 but to grow.

Bryan's Tribute to the Egg.

Mr.. Bryan, in his trip around the
world, found that in some countries
many dishes were of doubtful palata-
bility, but the boiled egg of the omni
present hen always appealed to him as
a safe proposition. He writes as fol
lows:
eve have crossed the Bosphorus and
bade farewell to Asia, within whose
borders we have spent about seven
months. They have been wonderfully
instructive months, and we have eni Dyed
the experiences through which we have
passed. but we cannot say that we have
fallen in love with Asiatic food. We
have been afraid of the vegetables; we
have distrusted the water, unless it was
bOiled and we have sometimes been
skeptical about the meat. The butter
has not always looked inviting, and our
fondness for cream has not been in
creased by the sight of the goats driven
from door to door and MIXED in the
presence of the purchaser. The bread
was not rival of the Vienna bread,
and the cooking has not been up to
Western standards. But the hen-lOng
life to her. She has been our constant
friend When all else has failed we
could fall back upon the boiled egg with
a sense of security and feeling of
satisfaction. If [ am not henceforth
poultry fancier in the technical sense
of the term, [ shall return with an in
creased respect for the common, every
day barnyard fowl. There are many
differences between the East and the
West-differences in race characteristics,
differences in costumes, differences in
ideals of life, of government, and of
religion. but we all meet at the break
fast taole-the egg, like "a touch of
nature makes the whole world kin. >

Plum Trees in Poultry Yards.

Plant plum trees in the yards where
hens are confined. The hens soon learn
to pick up the curculio which drop from
the trees, but they can be easily led to
do so more freely by scattering grain
under the trees and shaking them while
the hens are present. Poultry enjoy eat
ing curculio or bugs, beetles, ETC., more
than they enjoy eating grain or most
other forms of food. They will leave
the grain to pick up the curculio when
it drops at their feet It is we'll to
enlarge the poultry yard opening off
from the poultry house, so that it oc-
cupies considerable ground, perhaps one
fourth or one-half an acre. The hens
keep this ground cultivated and free
from every weed or spear of grass, keep
the ground fertilized, and this induces
vigorous growth of trees without much.

Summer Care of the Breeders and
Growing Stock

Writing on this subject in the Florida
Poultry Journal. Mr. c. Fred Ward
says:
The Matching season is now about
over, and it is time the busy poultry
man was turning his attention to the
care and constant growth of his young
flock.
Here in the south we would impress
on the beginner the almost absolute
need of plenty of shade and fresh water

berry trees, for they make very quick
and dense shade.
The main objection to them, of course,
is the fact that they do not bring in
anything to help out on the feed bills
They answer, however, temporarily, and
in the meantime one should plant peach
vines. They are all fine for chickens,
and vice versa, chickens are good for
them
If one is lucky enough to have an
irrigating plant, the secret of plenty
of fresh water is assured, but it is hard
these hot days to be Juggling around
the water buckets to replenish the foun-
tains. It is a wonder how much water
a bunch of chickens will dispose of in
hot weather, while in the winter they
hardly touch it.
Here at Lakemont Farms we have
Bermuda grass in all of our yards and
runs-more than forty in number-and
in each one there is a faucet dripping
water all the time. If the chicks begin
to get the better of the grass we change
them into another yard for few days,
and it soon comes up as green and fresh
as ever Care, too, should be taken that
the colony houses are properly venti-
lated and that not too many chicks are
put in each house. We never put in
over fifty together, and as soon as they
reach the two pound broiler age, they
are tninned out to twenty five, and the
young pul1ets and cockerels are sep
arated.
We have found out this year that one
secret of quick and vigorous growth was
to keep before the young stock all the
time.
During the spring we used a dry
mash, but now that warm weather mas
come we make a mixture of equal parts
of hulled oats, wheat, corn and scratch
feed.
At the same time we nave box Of
beef scraps within reach.
Under this treatment our January
Matched pullets weighed 41% pounds and
began laying several weeks ago at be-
tween Az and months old.
Can any one beat this?
If so, we want to know how they did
All of last seasons breeders that for
good reasons you do not want to carry
over to use another year, should now
be disposed off.
The others should be separated from
the males, put in cool, grassy runs, and
fed lightly for a couple of months. They
have had a long breeding season with
practically no rest, and if you want
fertile eggs from them for your early
matches next winter, you must favor
them now.
We put the males in runs to them
selves, or, if not quarrelsome, one can
put two or three together.
1t is best to have them on a different
part of the farm from that where the
females are kept.
They, too, need plenty of shade, so that
the new coat of feathers will be even
in color.
It is good idea for the next two
months to put small handful of Epson
salts in the drinking water of all the
fowls. 1nis will serve as a tonic to
keep them in good health and will help
to avoid that most dreaded of all dis
eases-sOrehead.

The linotype operator observed a

was the bright idea of hitching It to

The connection was quickly made,

grindstone to keep the outfit moving.
Two laborers were secured and set

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY N YEAR 1905

American manufacturers made their
best record in 1906. so far, at least, as
their record can he measured through
imports OF manufacturers materials
or exports OF manufactures. In prac-
tically all OF the great articles i'm
ported for manufacturing purposes
the records OF 1906 show a larger to-
tai imported than in any preceding
year. while the aggregate value of
manufacturers materials imported,
whether in the crude state or In a
partially manufactured form for fur
Their use in manufacturing, was also
greater than in any preceding year.
Likewise in exports of manufactures
the figures OF the year are larger than
in any preceding year, fiscal or calen-
dar
So apparent is this greater importa-
ton of manufacturers materials and
greater expectation of manufactures
that it is unnecessary to await the
December figures to justify the asser-
ton that the record of 1906 will be
higher than that of any other year.
In practically all OF the great articles
the figures of the eleven months emo.
ing with November. 1906. exceed those
of the corresponding months of any
earlier year. Running through the

the Imports were 161 million pounds,

eleven months importations were 1913

In the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding year. OF lumber, the value
imported in eleven months of 1906
was 20 million dollars, against % 1-2
millions in the corresponding months
of 1905. OF india rubber, the number
of pounds imported in the eleven
months of 1906 was 60 millions, and
in the corresponding months of 1905
but IS millions. OF raw silk, the i'm
ports of the eleven months were near
~ 10 million pounds. against little
over IA millions in the corresponding
months of 1905. OF tin, the imports
of the eleven months of 1906 were 80
million pounds, and In the correspond
ing months of 1905 were So millions.
OF leaf tobacco, the imports of the
eleven months of 1906 were practical
ly 80 million pounds, against a trife
more than 81 millions in the same
period of 1905. The two important ar
ticles Of manufacturers materials in
which a reduction is shown are fibers,
of which eleven months importations
fell from $50 thousand tons in 1905
to 16S thousand in 1906, and wool, of
which the imports fell from 234 mil
lion pounds in the eleven months of
1905 to 1873 millions in the correspond
ing period of 1906. This falling off in
the imports of tibers and wool is the
more striking in view of the fact that
the importations of manufactures of
fibers and wool show in each case an
increase in 1906 compared with 1905.

WE'D RICHES OR STAY SINGLE
savant Tells College instructors Plain
Living Is Drawback.

Philadelphia, Pa.-"If you are COL
lege professor and wish to be success
full, marry a rich woman. If that is
not possible, don't marry at all. If
you do marry for love, and not for
money. your family must be small, in
keeping with your income"
These were some Of the radical ut
terances Prof. Edward Everett Hale,
Jr. of Union university, gave vent to
at the opening session of the annual
convention of the Association of Col
lege and Preparatory Schools, held at
the Boys high school, Broad and
Green streets.
Dealing sarcastically with the sub.
ject, Prof. Edward Everett Hale said:
The present system of compulsory
plain living may produce a race of
professors incapable of high thinking
THE trustees of universities think
professors would grow lazy in such a
Utopia as a college would be if decent
salaries were paid. This is not the
case. They would have a chance to
take greater interest in college life
and become more valuable if they
were not compelled to skimp and save
and spend their time doing outside
work to earn living.
Marry rich WIFE," he said; "her
means will provide you with the time,
the books, the accessories Of culture
and the social setting you need.
I'm the event of not being able to
do this, a brilliant solution is not to
marry at all, and if you take unto
yourself a wife, it is certainly due to
all concerned to have as small fam
lily as possible"
