Cough q.

"There's nothing so bad for a Cough
as Coughing" Coughing is like scratch
ing wound; so long as it is done, it
will not heal. When tempted to Cough,
draw a long breath through the nostrils;
hold it until it warns the air cells. The
nitrogen thus refined, allays the desire
to cough and gives the throat and lungs
chance to heal. The use of Seventy
seven" will aid nature in her efforts to
recuperate.

The demand for labor on poultry
farms Is. of course strictly limited and
is confined almost entirely to expert
enced workers. although on the large
establishments large number of men
and women are employed in plucking,
dressing and packing. and If this is not
skilled labor 1t is something akin to II
and is not the kind Of work a person
could take to without some experience
and practice. There Is a good oppor-
tunity for young men who are pre-
pared to undergo a thorough training
In the management Of fancy stock.
This branch offers good reward for
workers, and progress Is made In II
entirely through merit. Wages run up
to $50 apd board per- month.

Some Poultry Evils.

George A. Palmer. prominent Eng
fish breeder, very truly says:
The most serious evils Of present
farm acknowledgement are crowding the
birds on an acre or two of poultry
tainted land just around the homestead
that has probably been overstocked
with fowl for hundreds of years; in
breeding, which, however useful oc-
casionally in show stock, can only re-
suit with utility stock in decreased
productiveness, attended by liver dis
ease and tuberculosis; the neglect of
pure bred sires, which are just as i'm
presslve in the poultry yard as In lar
ger stock; insanitary houses, improper
feeding. consisting too often of any odd
sack of grain that happens to be about
the place or, worse still, solely of pur-
chased corn; the greatest evil of all,
setting eggs indiscriminately from the
whole flock without the slightest at
tempt at selection unless 1t is for the
largest eggs, which result in the great
est proportion of infertiles and usually
bring out the weakest chickens"

HOPPER FEEDING.
An Experiment Which Seems "a
Demonstrate Its Superiority.


Demonstrate It's Superiority.
An experiment station worker sends
some interesting information about
lot of chickens. He says:
early in July we had an incubator
hatch come of, and the chicks, forty
seven in number, were given to three
hens One, a Brahma, was given TWEEN
ty, one Orpington hen fifteen and
Barred Rock hen twelve. All were
placed on free range. The Brahma
was placed on grass and fed nothing
but soft food for the first two weeks.
the food being equal parts oatmeal,
cornmeal and bran, with 25 per cent
meat meal This was fed twice day
and the other two feeds bread and
milk At the end of two weeks we
fed two mashes daily, hard grain in
morning and sprouted wheat at night.
The other two hens were put in the
middle of twenty acre field and
hopper filled with cracked wheat and
cracked corn and coarse beef scraps
mixed with the grain was put in each
coop They were only visited twice
Il week. All tlt DeuS were given lull
liberty after five days, and one result
Is the cornfeld chicks are as wild as
cartridges; have to crawl up on hands
and knees to get even a glimpse Of
them. Noting that they were growing
right away from the others that were
hand fed, ! went out one evening with
a set Of small scales and box to
weigh them. The chicks were not Sc
lected at all; were just taken from
under the hen as / could reach them
Four were weighed from each coop

4 hopper fed with b. Rock. ....2 8
What Of that as a showing in favor
Of hopper feeding? The chicks are
twentysix days old Hopper feeding
makes the work twice as easy for
poultrymen. We have hoppers here
now and have over 1000 growing
youngsters. Since this style of feeding
was established here l get up three
quarters of an hour later of morning
and do not have to break my back
carrying three or four bushels of wheat
at time to feed in the mornings"
