FALL CARE. OF CHICKEN.


the apples and they do worlds of good
to themselves and the trees by eating
the drop fruit and insects. If they
have a tendency to fly, cropping one
wing will keep them on the ground.
Even if all the fallen apples can not
be spared it is easy to pick up what
are needed before the chickens are
turned in.
Close the houses and yards so that
the birds will roost in the trees. This
gives plenty of time to clean up and
fumigate before cold weather and is
blessing to the fowls tired OF hot, dir
ty coops. Burn all straw in nest box
es, and, if possible, burn the boxes
themselves as they are apt to harbor
lice 1t is cheaper to provide new
nests than medicine and care for SICK
fowls.
Burn sulphur several times in the
houses, whitewash the interior and
roosts, and thoroughly clean the floors.
Then allow the doors and windows to
stand wide open and you will have an
ideal place to begin the winter cam
paign. The only objection to this
plan is that the chickens do not like
feeding in or near the houses a few
times accustoms them to their old
quarters.
In addition to the fallen fruit it is
best to feed a little corn or wheat
once a day with plenty of feed COM
mon on all farms in the fall. Much
stuff goes to waste in the country
every year that might profitably be
used for the chickens. The refuse
cabbage and tomatoes sour milk, curd
small potatoes that could easily be
boiled, turnips and many other vege-
tables are relished by the fowls. The
fact that chickens are bound to raw
age the garden should teach us to
plant some green food for their es-
pecial benefit.
Keep plenty of fresh water under
the trees so that it will be reasonably
cool, and hollow out several shallow
places to hold dust and gravel. 1t is
well to have two sets of pans or shall
low vessels-one for water and the
other for soft feed 1t is more eco
nomical and clearly to feed from pans
than on the ground.
Pillow up the yards as soon as the
chickens are out and SOW to wheat
and rye Even if little of the grain
comes up it will not be wasted, for
the chickens will dig it up when shut
again in the enclosure. In this way
the soil is purified and rejuvenated
while countless insects are destroyed.
Corn thickly planted is also good but
is soon, destroyed by frost, of course,
while wheat and rye last until freez-
ing weather begins
Try the fresh air plan for your
fowls this fall and we are sure the in
creased supply of eggs as we'll as the
general healthfulness will make it an
annual custom.

Occasionally fowl will fall off the
roosts dead. They are probably vic
tins of apoplexy, due to too heavy
feeding. Cut down on their grain ra-
ton and make them hustle for what
they eat. Feed them also some foods
of a gelationous nature, such as cook
ed linseed meal This will remedy the
diarrhea to which they are likely sub
ject Charcoal in chunks about the
size of a grain of corn is also highly
recommended

correspondent wrote the follow
ing query regarding the influence of
the female on the male: my flock
consists of pure bred White Wyan-
dottes. Will the purity of breed of
the chickens Matched from this flock
be affected in the least if the male is
permitted to pay attentions to mon
grel flock of hens?" If you cOnfine
your matches to eggs laid by the White
Wyandotte hens, and no other male
has access to the flock, you need not
worry about the purity of the breed
At the same time it is a good plan
to keep the male with his White Wy
andotte mates exclusively. | see no
advantage in letting him run with
hens of another breed.

New Jersey Plant Grants the
LabOrers an Increase at a
Cent-and- -a-haIf an Hour.
EXPECT PREssERs BACK SOON.
Company's Officials Assert That They
Would Have Made Settlement
Several Days Ago, Had it Not Been
for Outside Interference, as They
Call It--Out-of-Town Workmen
Left Here Today for Their Homes.

The strike at the New Jersey Terra
Gotta Works was settled this morning
and all of the old laboring men are
now at work The company acceded
to the mems demands and gave them
the desired increases of one and one
half cents an hour.
Superintendent Griswold said this
afternoon that the difficulty. would
have been settled long ago had 1t not
been for outside interference. He says
that the company was willing to give
the men who had been in its employ
over thirty days the increase, but,
on account of outside interference,
the men, he said did not return for
their answer several days ago.
THE men," he said have accept
ed the offer of the company which
was made three days after the strike
commenced, and for certain reasons
they were not allowed to accept 1t or
confer with us, until Wednesday"
The pressers who quit work, it is
expected, will return to work Mon
day, as they had made no demand, but
would not use clay handled by nom
union men. The men brought here
to take the strikers places left today.
