The Colony House

During the last few years the in
cubatOrs have replaced the work Of
many thousands of hens on farms
/ and poultry establishments through
out the country. They have, in gener-
al, given most excellent satisfaction
so far as the machine itself is con-
cerned. Of course, there have been
many failures in the attempted use
of the wooden hem" especially OH
the farm, but the most potent causes
of failure are doubtless carelessness
and 1neXperience on the part of the
operator Herein may be said to lie
the chief if not practically the entire
source of the trouble which has caus
ed some to return to the oldtime meth
cd of hen incubation, says the New
york Tribune Farmer. The
farmer is a more prog
reSsiye and persistent poultry raiser
has tried AGAIN, if his first effort with
the Incubator proved unsatisfactory,
and in the end he has not only won
success with the machine, but has. be-
come its advocate and is now giving
the hen a permanent vacation SO far
as Matching chicks is concerned. and
employs her as year round LAYER
only, much to the betterment of his
business and pocketbook.
But the mere Matching of a lot of
chickens is really a small matter
whether it is done by hen or incuDat
or, and the raising of them becomes a
still more serious consideration. If #
takes Intelligence and skill to accOmp-
llsh the Matching it requires more vet
to carry the young chicks on to Wig
orous and healthy maturity, or to the
period of marketing, that counts With
the use of the incubator it is general
ly acknowledged that the chicks re-
quire more particular care, especially
until after the brooder stage is pass
ed. The broOder is considered a ueces-
sity for macnine-hatched chickens. so
also is the outdoor colony house,
where any great number of fowls are
raised
There are, of course, various kinds
and types of colony houses, some more
expensive than others. Those of Il
portable type may be easily moved as
desired. Amy poultryman will find this
kind of hou eminently fitted for
his use, and can well afford the small
cost of making. The skeleton frame
can be easily constructed by any one
who is at all familiar with the use of
a hammer and saw, and the material
need not be very expensive. Often
sufficient timber may be picked up
around the farm, and when turned to
this use proves of considerable value
The roof and si6es may be of any
good roofing material, which makes
the house light of weight and more
readily moved from place TO place. 4
large door at the front, containing 4
goodsized window sash, admits light
and sunshine in sufficient quantities.

Plum Culture.


In its crop report for June, the
state board of agriculture publishes
an article on Plum Culture in Massa-
chusetts, by F. A. Waugh, professor
Of horticulture at the Massachusetts
agricultural college. In opening the
article Professor Waugh says: Next
to the peach, the plum IS the most i'm
portant fruit grown anywhere in the
temperate regions. In many localities
1t Is even more important that the
peach. This observation holds true in
Massachusetts,, for while IN some Sec
lions the peach is valuable fruit and
even an important commercial crop,
there are other sections where it can.
not be grown. Plums of some sort can
be grown, however, in every town in
the state. This much wider adapt
ability of the plum is due to two
causes: First, there are many differ
ent varieties, derived from very differ
ent species. some of which tLLrive on
one soil and some on another, so that
plums may be selected for every kind

GAME AND FISH.
Need Of Revision of Laws Pointed Ot.f
by Warden.

Charles III. Chapman, of the 500,
state game and fish warden. in ais
biennial report says that the CONNER
cial fishing of the state is not in as
satisfactory condition as his depart
ment or the people generally desire.
There is much dissatisfaction
among the fishermen" he says, over
the complications and determinations
in the commercial fishing laws. The
whitefsh are fast disappearing and
the number of lake trout is small, con-
sidering the large number planted in
Michigan waters by the United States
fish commission each year"
To remedy the faults Warden Chap
man recommends q complete revision
IT the laws. He says he believes the
only way to save the food fishes is to
absolutely prohibit fishing during the
spawning period in each of the great
lakes. AS to inland fishing Warden
chapman believes there should be
general revision of local acts, making
the general law applicable wherever
possible.
The warden estimates 10000 deer
were killed during the last season, but
that wolves destroyed more than that
number during the year.
Quail are said to be recovering from
the severe winters of 1903 and 1904,
but they have not yet become plentiful
and will require protection for some
time. The department has followed the
policy, the warden announces, of en-
deavoring to prevent violations rather
than make a showing of a large num-
Der of arrests.
The expenses of the department for
1906 were $2S,270, and the proceeds
from the sale of deer licenses, confis-
Gated property and permits, and from
fines were 1922

stepped upon the pier | saw a fine
looking old man in the pavilion over

harmonized with the color of his eyes.
He was neither fat nor lean, and his
smooth skin was protesting ruddily
against the age proclaimed by his
wool-white hair. He rose as | came
toward him, and, while | was still

ably that he knew who | was and that

gazed out toward Long Island.

back as if | had been addressing a
cordial face. And | waited.
He wheeled round, looked at me
from head to foot. | withstood the
inspection calmly; when it was ended
| noted that in spite Of himself he
was somewhat relaxed from the opin-
ion of me he had formed upon what

ing up to that rule And the twinkle
in his eyes betrayed the man who de-
lights to exercise q real or imaginary
talent for caustic wit. Such men are
like nettles-dangerous only to the
timid touch.

A Youthful Ulysses.

A Grecian boy, ter years old, whose
name requires 23 letters in the spell
ing of it, arrived in st. Louis, name
and all, after journeying alone more
than 1000 miles.
When he reached Union station
there was a tag on his coat which
showed that Konstantenos Argeropu-
los (the name) was bound for the
home of his father, Nicolas Argero-
pulos, 413 South Broadway, "ana
would the officials please see that he
reached his destination
nstantenos was unable to speak
a word Of English, but he received
much attention on the train from Bos-
ten to st. Louis and kind passengers
fairly overloaded him with good
things to eat.
The boy sailed from Piraeus,
Greece, about three weeks ago.-St
