THE BREEDING YARDS.
Some Suggestions as to the Raising
of Strong Chickens.

In regard to the number of females
in the breeding yards, that will de-
pend in measure on the vigor and
age of the male bird, and also upon
the size of the houses and yards.
If you have houses 10x12 feet, and
yards 25x100 feet, or larger, with a
good, matured cockerel, it will be safe
to have Is females, hens or pullets, Of
the larger sizes, and 20 If Leghorns
or any of the smaller laying breeds.
For cock bird do not put in more
than 12 or 13 females.
In the yards of the American class
of birds, or larger, not more than 10
should be kept for each cockerel, and
Is for each cock bird. And there is
no better time than right now to pick
out your breeders and breeding yards
for the coming spring.
So many persons sell off everything
they can and then mate up their yards
with what they have left. This is the
wrong way to do business, and such
breeders will never make any i'm
provement in the quality of theil
stock.
The birds intended for next springs
breeders should be chosen now, and
IL they can be separated from the rest
of the flock so much the better.

Paper overcoat for Hive.

using building paper, says writer in
Farming.
l cut a piece of the tarred building
paper so that it will be as wide as the
hive is deep-that will be nine and
one-half inches for Langstroth hives
and long enough to cover all four
sides of the hive and also have the
ends overlap several inches.
The first fine day after the bees
have been put outside take an
empty hive body and fasten to it the
bottom board with double-pointed crate
staples. Then lay the hive body on
its side and fasten the paper at one
corner with thin strip Of wood
mine was sawed out of dry goods box
boards. When the first corner is
fastened it is an easy matter to wrap
the paper and tack on the rest of the
strips.
7 After the hive is fixed and set on
the place of one containing bees, I re,
move the combs and bees from that
hive and put them in the hive that has
been protected by building paper.
then shake all of the bees out of the
hive from which the combs have been
removed and wrap it with paper, and
proceed thus until all of the colonies
are protected.
l have never known any kind of COW
er with which a hive could be closed
so tight that no heat could escape
from the cluster, yet some bee keep

prevent the loss of heat. l use an en-.

tarred paper would probably not be an
objection to the bees, but as it might,
1t is better to substitute the kind OF
building paper used for houses; place
1t on top of the hive-ard, of course
under the cover.
Whenever hive is opened in early
spring, heat escapes rapidly, which is
a great objection, because some of the
brood may be chilled and the colony
given a great setback. Whenever
manipulations are necessary during
the spring months a quilt should be
used to cover the hive while it is
open. Make 1t of several thicknesses
of heavy cloth, and have one side darl
colored and the other side light, ant
large enough to hang dawn severa
Inches on all four sides. The dark
colored side should be up during colo

absorbed. The light-colored side o

HATCH CHICKS EARLY.
April and May the Best Months to
Start Them.

We raised nearly every good chick
of our April and May matches. We
think it much better every way to
hatch as many chicks as possible in
March and April and would prefer
none later than May. They always
thrive better for us than later ones.
The pullets of the larger fiocks are
kept in colony houses with quite a
range, fed wheat, oats and cracked
corn, with mash once day of gluten
feed, mixed feed and beef scrap, wet
with skim milk as much as we have
to spare. The smaller mixed focks
are more closely confined, fed the
same. except no oats, and supplied
with peayines for green feed, from
field of Canada peas and oats. We
find, writes the correspondent of
Farm and Home, the peavines fine
growing food. The cockerels are rath-
er closely confined in movable coops
and yards, are fed cracked corn and
mash with large part of corn meal
added to the other mixture.

MAN OF DELICATE NERVES.

Rosenthal, the pianist, is one OF

was assured that a change would be
made especially for him the next day.
At five o'clock in the morning Ros-

scurrying excitedly down stairs and
into the office, where the drowsy
night clerk was nodding at the desk.
"Ze street cars! Noise! Must

BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New York Women Have Surmountec
Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as it may seem, New
York women have lately discovered a
way of fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity, they
became so tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that they
now feel that it is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discov-
cred that if she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, it could be fastened
from top to bottom, with the excep-
tion of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without un-
duly straining the fastenings. So sim.
pie! So strange that no one had
thought Of it before. Or is it possible
other women have used the plan and
meanly kept it to themselves? Will
the waist that buttons in the back
now have new lease of life?

CARE OF THE FOWLS.

Be sure that a box of clean, sharp
grit is constantly within reach of the
fowls.
Cattle and sheep starve on boggy
meadows, but geese thrive and are
profitable.
No fowls are easier to raise than
geese. Nothing better than the un-
drainable fields. There's money in
'em.
Buttermilk is good chicken feed.
1t contains the necessary elements for
flesh and egg material, and the chick
ems will eat it in preference to skim
milk.
The poultry business does not make
hard work, but everything connected
with it must be looked after in sea.
son and everything kept clean.
Neglect means loss.
Feed laying hens too little rather
than too much corn. 1t should be
covered with deep litter of straw
for them to scratch out. The busy
hen is the hen that lays.
Charcoal is one of the best and
cheapest of stomach purifiers. A sup
ply of 1t should always be where the
fowls can get it, for 1t will greatly
aid proper digestion.
Eggs that have been kept two OIL
three weeks will produce weak chick
ems. If they live to get their growth
they win never be strong nor healthy
The germ of the egg becomes weak
ened with age. Only fresh, new eggs
should be set.

be hung on two pegs or nails or in

very convenient and sanitary grit box.
Three kinds of grit or feed can be
kept separately to which the fowls
have access at all times but cannot
