Collies for the Poultry Ranch.

If more poultry raisers would keep
dogs they would not be troubled near
ly so much by chicken thieves. And if
they would keep Collie dogs they
would not only have faithful watch
dogs to give warning Of the approach
of thieves, but would have animals of
which they might be proud at. all
times The Collies are so intelligent
that they are easily trained and can
be made to be of service in several
ways. For instance, it is an easy mat
ter to teach them to drive hawks away
as soon as they come around. They
are also devoted guardians of the chill
dren and are Of the kindest DISPOSE
tiOn, allowing the youngsters to pull
chem around as youngsters will, and
enjoying the play as much as Go their
little friends. Every poultry ranch
should have a Collie, and one is al
most necessity on general farm or
a stock ranch.-Petaluma Poultry Jour
nal.

Separate the Males.

Have the males been separated
from the females? Outside the breed
ing season the male is not only not
necessary, but he is a positive nu s.
ance, worrying and harassi.1g his
mates continually. The eggs will
keep much longer if they are unfer-
tilted. Separate the young cockerels
from the pullets as soon as they be-
gin to annoy them. Both will do
much better. Give the cockerels a
large run, but the pullets should have
free range. Wire netting for poult y
is cheap, is easily put up, lasts
long time, but, best Of all, enables
one to handle their poultry properly.

Light as Factor in Egg Production.


In planning to build poultry houses
it should be remembered THAT light
influences laying on the part of the
hens. Put flock in dl1nly lighted
poultry house, and no matter how,
comfortable it may be, fowls will
cluster together in some corner out
side, and brave the storms i'll pre4er-
ence to remaining inside in a dark
and gloomy house. Chicks also pre-
fer light, and will remain outside Of
the brooder and become rh1lled rather
than go under the cover where it is
dark, although warm. AL birds have
an instructive dread Of darkness AS
soon as the sun begins 10 set they
seek a safe retreat before darkness
comes, and bright and early in the
morning they seek to 60 where it
is light. They seem to attribute dan
ger to their natural enemies asaociat-
ed with darkness, and they detest dark
quarters because they cannot see
clearly unless it is very light. The
poultry houses, therefore, should have
large windows in mild climates, and
sufficient cloth curtain area in cold
latitudes to insure plenty Of light even
in gloomy weather. Maine Farmer.
Increasing the Production of Eggs
All poultry raisers amass handsome
fortunes in very short time. Still
there are some who would like to
shorten the time, and to them the
invention described as follows, in
Successful Farming, will be very well
come:
A new invention to make hens lay
is meeting with good success. 1t is
an automatic cackler The principle
on which it works is this: The hen
always begins to Law when she hears
the other hens cackle The cackler
is set to run off every two hours.
Then make the hen house so tight
that it is perfectly dark The hen
always wants to lay when she first
wakes up. Set the alarm Oh the &C l.
er so it will run off and pull up the
blinds at the same time. The hen
awakes, she hears the cackle, and at
once seeks nest and lays an egg.
At the expiration of two hours the
cackler sets itself again, pulls down
the blinds and the hen goes to roost
and to sleep. Another two hours
roll around, the blinds go up, the
cackler starts again, and Biddy, ever
mindful of duty's call, repeats the
performance and you get another egg.
These devices will pay for themselves
in eggs in a very few days. 1t is
an imposition on the hen, but if she
does not find it out, it is just as legal
as the regular" rates Of lawyers, that
no one knows where they originated,
Or how, only that they are Irregular" ;"

ed by an ordinary hen in picking her
foot up and holding it there, because

BuYinR Remnants.

Do not be persuaded into buying a
remnant that is too short in length for
the contemplated gown, unless you are
certain you can combine with it some
thing you have or can buy at a price
that will permit the gown to remain a
bargain.
1t is in waist lengths and remnants
that may be utilized for children's
dresses that the greatest opportunities
offer, and here even half-yard lengths
of plaids and bright colors may be util-
lied for pipings and bands to brighten

A woman whose altogether unintelll-
gible and incoherent remarks branded
her Enthusiastically as a proud parent,
was wheeling an exceedingly small
child Of perhaps years next Thurs
day down Prospect avenue yesterday
afternoon In one Of those upright baby
carriages, says Cleveland newspaper.
The remarks mentioned were addressed
to this child in Il series of suppressed
shrieks and gurgles.
AS the woman continued to push the
small conveyance down the street
stopping ever and anon to ask the
child something, they approached an
other woman who was leading French
poodle by a small chain. The dog wore
q cute little ga blanket and was
clipped to look as If the barber had
started on it and then thought Of a
previous engagement
At the sight OF the dog the woman
with the baby fairly dubbed over with
ecstacy. 1t had Immediately struck
her that the sight of the dog would at
tketic sense and that the baby would
derive a great deal of pleasure from
viewing the dog as it passed by. For
fear, however, that the baby would not
realize what was up the fond mother
sought to convey the information by
means Of multiplicity of half inartic-
ulate gurgles and gesticulations that a
certain dog was about to pass. "See
| the pretty doggle," was the only thing
she said in English, but her remarks
were along that line. In the meantime
the woman with the dog had come up
/ to them and the mother heard someone
saying, See the coot little baby. Just
ook at the little baby The mother
turned from the baby to look at the
/ dog. and then her expression changed
to one of polite scorn.
The other woman had the dog in her
arms and was showing the baby to it.

The Ideal Education.

Of the girls school. An efficient wom-

"There are some traits" this speak
er insisted, that the vast majority of
people agree upon as being especially
and desrably feminine; sweetness,
agreeableness, or whatever you are
pleased to call it, grace, beauty, gen
tleness, love Of home skill in the care
Of children. Why should not those in
charge of the education Of girls at
tempt to formulate clear Idea of
what the efficient woman is, and then
devise the best daily exercise they can
to help each girl achieve that efticien-
cy.' Why not, indeed? A school that
could turn out that ideal girl would
be blessing to any community. That

BILE an efficient ma Is the idea Of
many people on the matter. The eff

This matter of transportation has
been the stumbling block in the way
of the general adoption Of the system.
Farmers say that the cost is too much
and that the roads and weather fire.
quently are In unfit condition for
travel. Dean Davenport declares that
1t is better to expose horses to the
elements than children. Children are
frequently made sick by exposure to
storms and from sitting all day with
wet feet and damp clothing after wad-
ing snovdrlfts, slush, and mud on the
way to school.
Regarding the cost of transportation,
he says that the farmers are already
maintaining the most expensive system
possible. He says that through the
sending Of children to graded schools
and high schools, the farmers are
paying double toll, not only
their own inefficient
schools, but assisting through tuition
charges in maintaining city schools. He
has secured figures which largely prove
his assertion.
Advantages of Consolidation.
The advantages arising from consol.

are as follows:

grade of school.
AT the same expense much better
schools can be provided, because fewer

rendered her so fascinating when n

she has become a wife. One great
thing undoubtedly was the chariness
OF herself and of her conduct, which
