SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE
UP-TO.DATE


Owing to the confinement of winter
quarters. the birds are unable to CD
tain their supply of green or succuient
foods. This may be supplied by man.
Colds, turnips, cabbage, green clover
or alfalfa The latter is strongly rec.
commended when properly saved and
may be fed either whole or cut, raw
or boiled.
Plenty of fresh, pure water is indis-
pensable ior perfect health. Laying
hens especially require an abundant
supply on account of the great per-
centage CT it in eggs-from 81 to 65
percent. The drinking vessels should
be placed On a shelf where they will
not become contaminated with litter.
The local cost of the different vari-
cites Of grain should determine what
is to be fed. The animal food given
should supply the greater part of the
protein or nitrogenous portion of the
ration whether the fowls are at nber-
ty or confined. Other foods therefore
are required more for maintaining the
heat of the fowls body and 1t would
not be profitable on this account to
purchase expensive grains. It is pre-
ferable to feed a. number Of grains
rather than to limit the selection to
one or two kinds, as poultry like
change and will thrive best on va
riety of food stuffs. Mash is not recon-
mended except in limited quantities,
and for this ground buckwheat, ground
corn and ground oats are the grains
that are most DECENTRALIZATION

SNAKE pINED ON SQUAD.

Finally Became SO Bold that Police
man Shot Destroyer.
A black snake fully six feet long
and nearly two inches in diameter,
which has been capturing young pig
cons on the rocks just above the
Birmingham station of the Panhandle
Railroad has attracted much attention
Employees at the station and watch
man at the mouth of the Mount Wash
ington street car tunnel have seen the
serpent several times, but none has
been bold enough to attempt to cap
ture it. More than score of pigeons
have nests on the rocks and the snake
is said to have gone down the hill
side from the grass and shrubbery to
secure frequent meal Of the squads.
Capt. c. E. Hemp of the police force
of the Panhandle Railroad was at the
station this morning. The snake was
perched on rock in full view. Cant.
Kemp fired at the serpent with his
revolver. The snake fell from the
rock and rolled down the hillside to
the rocks above the tunnel. Four or
five men climbed the rocks, but oy.
ing to the difficult scaling the snake
could not be secured.-From the Pitts

Food for Turkeys.

Many people are so DESTROYS of
choice poultry as to finish them for
their own table by feeding a portion
of chestnuts and celery seed each
day to the growing stock. The tur-
keys sent from Rhode Island to the
President have always been finished
with the addition of these very savory
foods. The chestnut fed turkey is
much talked of throughout the land
1t Is an expensive food. The feeding
of chestnuts and celery adds consider
ably to the cost of their production.
In New York city alone several thou
sands are sold during Thanksgiving
and Christmas times. To finish them
in this way the chestnuts are chopped
up into small pieces and mixed with
celery seed, slightly damped and
coated with ground meal and ground
oats, and fed to them in troughs. Meat
does not seem to be valuable food
in the fattening of turkeys, nor do
they seem to grow nearly so well un-
der artificial methods as when care
fully grown in the natural way.-The

Farm Notes.

If you can find seed that was grown
in your own vicinity, it is an advantage
to do SO.
Poor roads, unhoused carriages and
farming tools are some of the things
causing an unnecessary tax.
For hay, the pea will probably give
the best results; for grain, the soy
bean. Use the cow pea on thin land;
the bean on rich land
Chickens with scabby legs should
be put in pail of warm, soapy water
and their legs thoroughly scrubbed
and then rubbed well with equal parts
of lard and kerosene.
The average farmer in the older sec
lions cannot afford to specialize in
potato growing. Some years there
may be big money in it, but the aver
age returns do not compare favorably
with those from the dairy and some
other lines of work.
A convenient material for tying
vegetables is the strands from burlap
mating or bran sacks. These are cut
into convenient squares and unraveled
and tied in large lunches until needed
Eastwood mating is also convenient
for this purpose, and for budding and
grating.
II dog is kept tied too long he is
likely to run away as soon as released.

What Makes = Gentleman.

My friend, whom I have always
considered a true gentleman. may
seem a boon to You because he wears
"store clothes" Somebody else's so
called gentleman friend" impresses
me as a silly ass, and because his
chief interest is in ties and fancy
waistcoats. Table manners consti-
tute the final test in some social CIR
cles, the wearing of suspenders with
out q coat in others. 1t is probably
no exaggeration to estimate the
number of different descriptions OF
a gentleman given since Mrs. Grundy
began to take a hand in human so
ciety as in excess of half a million.
The only way in which these have
uniformly agreed is in the assunip-
ton that the gentleman Is a desir-
able variety of man, and this seems
to be as near as it Is possible to
get to universally acceptable dehnf.

Provide Shade for Sheep.

Sheep will hunt the shade of tree or
fence and carry their noses close to
the ground. They are trying to avoid
their grub fly which lays eggs in the
nostrils. If there is no natural shade
in the pastures it should be provided.
A good plan is to give the sheep ac-
cess to the sheds during the heat of
the day, or all day for that matter.
Or shade may be provided very easily
by the use of poles or old rails and
these covered with straw or hay, any
thing that will make shade and pro-
vide shelter. Do this now and you
need not ask later what to do for grub
in the head.''-Farmers' Home Jour-

ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well With Change of
Food,

A great scientist has said we can
put off "old age" if we can only nour-
ish the body properly.
To do this the right kind of food
OF course, Is necessary. The body
manufactures poisons In the stomach
and fntestines from certain kinds of
food stuffs and unless sufficient of the
right kind is used, the injurious ele-
ments overcome the good.
My grandmother, II years old"
writes N. Y. lady, had been an in
valid for 8 years from what was
called consumption of the stomach
and bowels. The doctor had given
her up to die.
Il saw SO much about Grape-Nuts
that persuaded grandmother to try
1t. She could not keep anything on
her stomach for more than a few min
utes
"Sh- began Grape-Nuts with only
teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she
took little more until she could take
all of four teaspoonfuls at a meal.
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old. and we
Know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
The doctor was astonished that
instead Of dying she got well, and
without drop of medicine after she
began the Grape-Nuts There's a
Reason"

cucumbers for pickles.

As soon as the plants are up, apply
mixture OF two-thirds slaked lime
and one-third land-plaster, which win
destroy the small striped bug that
Is pretty sure to appear. The striped
cucumber beetle does not attack the
paintings for cucumbers as much as
those for pickles.
After the main vines are three or
more feet long, pinch off the ends to
promote the growth of the laterals.
The latter bear much larger proper
ton Of pistillate or productive bios
SONS than the main vines, which prin-
cipally are staminate.
AS soon as there are cucumbers
large enough for pickles on the vines,
picking should begin. For this pur-
pose sharp knife or pair of shears
is a good tool. Disturb the vine as
littles as possible, until the very last
picking from them. Fruit should be
picked before it begins to ripen. They
are used in green state.
For table use and market they
should be gathered when full grown
but still green. For picking the vines
must be picked over at least every
other morning as long as they are
wanted for green cucumbers. Take off
every pickle that is IL inches and
over in length. One large cucumber
will exhaust the vine more than fifty
small ones.
Where small ones are picked OH.

ones prove but silent robbers Ii

be allowed to ripen seed, for with the

Successful Production of Eoos.

In summer on free range the flock
Is able to secure sufficient exercise
and right proportion of the differ
ent kinds of food. 1t is necessary
therefore to initiate these conditions
as much as possible during the winter
months.
The lime of the oyster shell is a
necessity in egg production. Some
idea of the need of the shell supply
can be obtained from the fact that an
ordinary flock of $50 hens will produce
annually in egg shell, 1877 pounds of
clear chalk. The habit of egg eating
is the result of a craving for shell
.orming material and unless 1t be-
comes chronic the feeding of oyster
shell will at once remedy the evil.
When the birds are on range thew
are usually able to secure for them
selves in worms. bugs and grubs the
necessary supply of animal food. In

limited and it becomes necessary then
