The Guinea Fowl.

The great objection to the guineas
is their wild nature, but the control
of the flock depends upon the be-
ginning made. The best plan Is to
buy eggs instead of fowls, and put
the eggs under chicken hen, When
the guinea eggs have been under the
hen a week, add two or three hens
eggs, and the chicks will hatch at the
same time as the eggs of the guineas,
as the latter require four weeks for
incubation. The young chicks will
obey the hen. and the young guineas
will follow their example, with the
result that the guineas will remain
with the other fowls as they grow,
and so into the poultry house to
roost with the hens.
Guineas 30 raised will be tame and
can be better managed. They may
be Matched In June or as late as July.
The guinea is most active of all
feathered foragers. and Is capable of
destroying many insects. They
quickly notice strange persons or
animals, and will at once make SUM-
cACht ataf ~ W warn lHtlI owner, ana
they can see the hawk long before he
can reach the barnyard. The guinea
hens are very prolific, and lay during
the entire summer, but will hide their
nests, attracting attention to them,
however. by making noise, which as
sists the farmer to secure the eggs.
They are usually hardy. self-support-
Ing in summer. and will roost In the
trees near the house, II they do not
go into the poultry house. Their
eggs are rich and are usually we'll
filled. The guinea may be said to be
semigame bird. Its flesh has q
gamy favor. and II is considered by
some as domesticated wild bird.
There is an opportunity in some To-
calities for establishing a trade In
guineas by educating customers to
the excellence OF their flesh and the
high quality Of their eggs.---L. NJ, In
the Indiana Farmer.

circumstances for the attainment of
the higher ends; and our Lord pre-
eminently enforced these great les

He who revealed so much, revealed

which coarse souls turn with loathing
as being insipid and worthless. A
philosopher tells us to study "small
variations of the commonplace; and
no doubt II we do this intelligently
and sympathetically we shall need
no other dramas or romances.
The dreariest lot has openings for
magnificent charity and sacrifice.
The most prosaic calling, duly inter-
preted, is replete with glory, honor
and permanence, and Is crowned with
eternal recomDense.
There ought not to be in any hu-
man life servility and dependence; no
painful need or vulgar wretchedness
should embitter and degrade: drudg-
cry proper, beggarliness, meanness
and pauperism form no part of Gods
ordination for any man. and there
is much seriously wrong when such
a state of things is possible. Our

Hog Feeding.

Experiments made at the Purdue
University to determine the value of
corn and wheat for producing pork
show that to produce one pound of
live pork with shelled corn the cost
is Lao. The cost varies owing to
the difference in the price of the
foods. Pork from mixture of equal
parts of corn and wheat costs 2.97
Corn is therefore much the cheaper
grain for producing pork.
