Sensational Trials.
(From the Savannah News.)

(FTOm the Savannah NeWs.)
The two serials running in the
newspapers now-the Thaw case in
New York and the Strother case in
Virginia-are not calculated to create
the impression that the world Is grow
ing better, morally. 1t is not often
that accounts of two such sensational
trials of similar character appear
in the public prints at the same time.
1t is certainly to be hoped there will
not be such an occurrence again soon.

Poultry short Cuts.

Farmer" Vincent in Farm Journal
(Philadelphia) wisely says:
When the combs of the fowls begin
to droop and look pale and limp, better
sort them out and get hens with nice,
bright combs.

good days work. Same way with men
folks.
The beef trust is leading us to trust
more aud more in hens.
Change the diet of the hens often.
None Of us likes to live all the time
on pudding and milk, good as they are.
About the surest way to fail is to
crowd too many hens into one pen. 1t
never paid. 1t never will.
Kind of hard work to wash eggs,
but they look so much better when you
offer them for sale!
Keep The doors closed at night. This
is the time of the year when enemies
of the biddies prowl around.
Use some animal food every day, but
have it good.
Have the feed boxes high enough
from the floor so that you can sweep
under them. Sure to be lot of litter

Hens do not like to pick their shells
out of a box half full of straw and
cobs. Keep the shells clean by put

not get into it.

house containing the windows of course
faces the south There is ventilator
in the very peak of the building. This
comes down to near the second floor,
in the middle of which there is an open
ing to the first floor. Thus there is al
ways abundance of ventilation with
out the possibility of drafts. The Sec
ond floor makes an admirable place in
which to store litter, or it may be used
as a pigeon loft. The floor of the
house proper is of concrete if the build
ing rwts on the ground, but if it is
elevated, which is the better plan, it Is

Structure which Is DeservedIy
Popular Among the Farmers.
In determining the type Of fowl
house which is apt to best serve It's
purpose It Is always well to bear in
mind that without reference to the
climate in which the structure Is to be
used. it is desirable that it be insulated,
thereby enabling the owner to control
the ventilation. For that reason the
Maine type of henhouse is apt to be
pretty close to the right thing. The
building shown in the illustration Is
popular throughout the coolest por-
tions of New England and would be
equally valuable IN any portion Of
North America.
1t is true that the shingling Of the
sides entails an expense to which
many poaltrymen do not feel at first
warranted in going, but in the end the
plan is a great money saver, as these
houses, if the shingles are properly
treated before being applied, are prac-
tically indestructible. The side of the

Scurvx In Poultry.

Scurvy is something like eczema,
sorehead or other like ailments. Some
call it white comb in poultry. It comes
from an ailment of the blood 1t is
very difficult to cure. A thorough
treatment with epson salts, iron and
quinine tonics for a number Of months
might remove the ailments. 1t does
not injure them otherwise, unless the
sore places become lacerated and can
