Raising Pigeons.

1t is not only in congregations ot
quadrupeds, such as hogs, cattle, horses
etc, that we often find particularly
vicious specimens we also come across
them in fiocks of poultry, among hens
turkeys and even pigeons There are
DULLES and brutes in the pigeon as
| well as human family. A male pigeon
that is disposed to make himself a
nuisance In fighting other old birds and
killing squads might as well be re-
moved from the loft. If this is not
practical, clip his wings and provide a
nest for the pair on the floor
For mating pen get box and put
perpendicular Stats on the front and
through the middle. 1t should be large
enough to make each apartment 12 or
ID inches square, and one of the Stats
or bowels In the partition should be
movable. The food and water vessels
may be hung on the partition so that
both birds may use them in common.
If out of sight of their old mates 1t will
not take more than two or three days
for them to unite The movable slat
can then be taken away, and If the
mating is permanent they may be turn
ed into the loft to find a nest.
Feeds for Pigeons-We like whole
wheat best Of all grains for pigeons.
But there are many other grains which
pigeons like and thrive on, among them
common peas, barley, buckwheat, cow
peas, soy beans, English horse beans,
the various kinds of vetcn, broom corn,
sorghum seed, millet and many others.
A variety Is, of course, always relish
ed. Corn Is a good feed when given In
moderate quantities. especially during
and not as an exclusive diet. |
Pigeons also learn to eat boiled pota-
toes and other vegetables, soft mash,
such as we give to the hens, etc. For
really fine plump, fat squads, wheat
Is hard to beat.

At the California Agricultural Ex
pertinent Station the chief object In
making chemical examination OF
brown-shelled and white-shelled eggs
was to determine whether there is any
superiority Of one over the other as
to quality. The test shows that the
shells and their color have but slight
effect on the food value of the eggs.
1t has been said by some that the
brown eggs are richer than the white
ones, but this statement is not borne
out by a chemical analysis, and the
physical examination proves that the
main points of superiority, though
slight, are possessed by the white eggs,
The minute differences that are found
between the two groups are exceeded
by variation between varieties within
the same group. 1t may be stated that
there are practically no differences so
far as the food value Is concerned be-
tween whiteshelled and brown-shellel
eggs.

The most frequent troubles with
ducks and geese is vertigo. They drop
down on their feet or fall on one side
suddenly, at times recovering as sud,
denly or dying Immediately. This hap.
pens only when ducks or geese are fed
too much grain. The best prevention is
to make their feeding ground a pas
ture, where the grass is short but abun-
dant, and let them get more of their
subsistence for themselves. They will
require but little food after warm
weather comes, as they are then we'll

producers. The nonproducers should
have no grain. There is saving In
expense and there will be fewer losses

A Chicken XfIIare.

On the road from East Auburn tc
Turner there is novel sight, chicken
village, 1t may be termed, for at the
side Of a well-kept farmhouse there is
a village of perhaps a dozen little white
peak-roofed houses, and the house
nearest to the road is built to repre-.
sent church. The steeple Is as per,
feet as if the tiny building were really
intended for place of worship. These
miniature houses are nothing more or
less than chicken coops, yet so per-
fectly is everything arranged that the
passer-by might, at first glance, think
1t a play town" belonging to some
child.-Kenebec (Me) Journal.

The Ocean Liner stewardsss.

1t appears that some stewardesses on
the best liners running between Liver
poor and New York make from EGO TO
ESQ per month. The average tip varies
from 10 shillings to the modest half
crown, although occasionally five pound
notes change hands. 1T Is quite true. .

three feet high The front and bottom
are removed Two strips are nailed
perpendicular on the front corner pro-
jecting foot below the bottom of the
box. This raises the front and gives
the roof the necessary pitch when fac
ing a downhill position. Two strips
nailed on each side form a support for
porches which are fastened together
by crossp1eces so all may be removed
at one operation to be sprayed.
We move this coop twice week, and
it is always clean and fresh. The
open front and bottom seem a little
risky, considering the possibility of
wandering cats, rats or weasels. But
we are willing to run some risks if we
can fill our own and customers pens
in the fall with large, robust stock.
This one plan has enabled us to pro-
duce Orpingtons well up to standard
size, which some fail to do. The ac-
companying sketch of coop will ex-
plain itself.

DON'T WAIT.

II you've anything good to say Of a man
Don't wait till he's laid to rest.
For the eulogy spoken when hearts ar,
broken
Is an empty thing at best.
Ah, the blighted flower now dropping
lonely,
Would perfume the mountain side,
If the suns glad ray had but shone t.
day,
And the pretty bud espied.
If you've any aims to give to the poor,
Don't wait till you hear the cry
OF wan distress in this wilderness,
Lest the one forsook may die.
o, hearken to Poverty's sad lament!
BE swift her wants to allay;
Don't spurn Gods poor from your favored
door,
AS you hope for mercy one day.
If your heart be sickened with sins attic
tion,
Don't wait to receive sweet balm
From the frail, weak man who never can
The storms of passion calm.
Seek refuge in him who will ne'er despise
The penitent, earnest prayer;
Hail blessed relief from tears and grief,
And the minds unceasing care!
Don't wait for another to bear the burden
OF sorrows irksome load;
Let your hand extend to a stricken friend,
AS he totters adown life's road.
And, If you've anything good to say of
man,
Don't wait till he's laid to rest;
For the eulogy spoken when hearts are
broken
Is an empty thing at best.
