CHICK CHAT.

Fine, clean grit should be the first
thing eaten by little chicks.
Early maturity for market means
considerable in making up the profits.
Fetch says the light brahma will
grow broiler to weigh two pounds
at eight weeks of age.
A pound of naphthaleen dissolved in
a gallon of coal oil makes an excellent
lice paint for the roosts.
Stale (but not moldy) bread moist
ened with milk is one of the best first
foods for chicks and ducklings.
A poorly bred thoroughbred is
worse than scrub. Scrub treatment
will make scrubs of thoroughbreds.
Stale and dirty water is frequent
cause of bowel trouble in the early
youngsters; provide clean water in
clean dishes.
The Spring chicken" should be
Matched not earlier than February, nor
later than May The market weight
is two to three pounds.
Strong parents make strong chicks
strong chicks are active and quick
growing-quick growth makes the
juicy, meaty broiler and rooster.
Set two hens at the same time:
then, IL the hatch is not large, all the
chicks can be given to the most
motherly hen and the other set again,
or given her liberty.

chest, gushed up the fountain, shining
in the sun of afternoon. And there,
too, stood the charming little maid
who was taking the pretty role, and
her eyes were shining in mock delight
as she saw the fair water, and with
mock alarm as she saw, from out the
wilderness of boxes, that young prince
coming to claim her.
The pretty play was just over, when

the cloud of Lisa's friends went in
soft laughter down the attic stairs

tale had come true before our eyes.
Between the dormer window and
the ancient chest the fountain was
still sparkling to the sun, as it had
sparkled when the little mock princess
had found her lover by its side. And
where she had stood, Mary stood now;
and she was suddenly and unexplain-
ably in the arms of that earnest young
giant in blue clothes.

make an attempt to reach the north

having led an expedition in that di

thorough test of his apparatus before
beginning his aerial flight Andree,
the only man up to date who has
started for the north pole by balloon,

hope Is universal, says Troy Times,
that the plucky American will have
better fortune. Yet there are whole

the coming expedition of Commander
Peary, which will go by the good ship

COOP FOR HENS AND CHICKS.
Type of Construction Used by Ontario

The authorities of the Ontario Agri-

which they recommend for the hen

gives plenty of air both day and night,
and during the night in particular
can be so closed that small animals
cannot get in to disturb either hen
or chicks. A good idea of the front
of the coop is shown at A in the ac-
