These dry.feed hoppers made of
wood or galvanized iron may be pur-
chased from poultry supply houses.
They may be a little more artistic,
but no better for practical purposes.
Another style of hopper for feeding
wet mash consists of two triangular
end pieces 20 inches high, to which
are fastened one by two inch strips,
and to these are nailed the upright
strips, about two inches wide, sharp
at the upper ends. On one side these
are nailed fast, but on the other the
lower longitudinal strip is rounded at
the ends, these ends being fitted into
an auger hole In the triangular piece,
thus making sort of gate which is
opened to put the feed into the trough.
A wire hook at the middle fastens
this to the other side when closed
The trough is about five inches high,
V-shaped, and rests in V-shaped cleats
at each end, so that 1t may be re.
moved readily for cleaning. We have
two of these feed troughs which have
been in use several years. The trough
in one OF them is made of wood, in
the other of galvanized iron. The lat.
ter is now rHsted through In several
places, while the wooden one is good
for several years more of use. These
feed racks or troughs may be made
of any desired length.
We have, also, a couple of the same
style racks, about IS inches square,
designed for water. They were very
satisfactory while they lasted, but
the galvanized iron pans rusted out in
a couple of years. One of these was
built with a space under the pan so
that some hot bricks might be put
under in cold weather to keep the
water from freezing These devices
may be purchased from some poultry
supply houses, though / think the
sides are made of round rods instead
of Stats.

PROFITABLE POULTRY FEED.
Successful Raising Of Chickens De.
pends on Supplying Proper Kind
Of Feed at Right Time.

The successful raising of poultry.
whether for meat or eggs, depends
upon supplying the right kind of feed
In the proper proportion. A fowl re-
quires certain quantity of food con.
tanning protein, carbohydrates and
ash to sustain life. A surplus over
and above this goes to produce eggs
or accumulate flesh A study of the
composition of the body and feathers
OF fowl shows that almost one-half
of the dry matter of the body Is pro-
tein and about eight per cent. ash.
Investigations by Jeneter at the
New York experiment station show
that the body of a Leghorn hem
body, bones, feathers and viscera-
contains 55.S per cent water, 11.6 per
cent. protein, 2S per cent. ash and II
per cent fat. The analysis of a fresh
egg shows its composition to be: Shell
ia per cent, water 65.7 per cent. fat
S.9 per cent. and protein between IL
per cent and 13 per cent. OF the to.
tai dry matter in an egg, including
the she'll, there is 35.6 per cent. ash,
25.9 per cent. fat and from 38 TO 3S
per cent. protein.
study OF the above ANALYSIS shows
clearly the Importance of supplying a
liberal allowance of both protein and
ash matter In the rations OF poultry.

No Fear from the Chickens.

1t does not require very large plot
for early vegetables and small garden
truck and no fear of the chickens
should be felt. The large fields of
corn and potatoes can in most cases
be planted at some distance
from the poultry house, and In any
event the fowls will harm them little
after they get a good start But by
no means would we be without a
place In which we could confine the
hens when desired at seed and har-
vest time and of course breeding hens
must be fenced. In this manner the
parks do not require to be so large
as when confined constantly, and
fowls can be given their freedom a
greater part Of the season. On this
plan larger egg yield will be secured
hence the greater profit.

NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD.

With over 70 distinct breeds of
fowls to select from 1t always seemed
curious to me why some people in
sisted upon keeping scrub hens.
When poultry is being cross-bred
for special purposes, such as roasters,
broilers, etc, believe that better re.
suits will come when we use a male
OF the smaller breed and hens of the
larger breed OF fowls.
Incubator chicks should be fed with
more caution than those hatched with
hens Their artificial condition makes
them more delicate and more suscep.
tible to changes of food and temper
ature.
With poultry there is greater oppor-
tunity for choice among a long list of
breeds than amung any other kinds
of stock. We can select color accord.
ing to our taste; we can breed for
eggs or for flesh, for sitters or non.
sitters, for large or small fowls.
Feeding fowls does not consist In
throwing out to them a certain quan.
tity of feed one, two or three times a
day. 1t requires judgment to properly
feed fowls. They will not require the
same quantity every time, nor the
same kind of feed. This is a matter
that can be studied with profit.

AFFECT FERTILITY OF EGGS.
Too Warm Quarters and overfeedlng
Laying Stock Have Injurious
Effect.

officials OF the department Of agri-
culture have been collecting data re-
garding the factors which affect the
fertility of eggs. It has been found
that too warm quarters for laying
stock and overfeedlng are commonly
believed to exercise an unfavorable in
huence on egg fertility. The way eggs
are handled or stored Is also believed
to affect the proportions which will
hatch.
The conditions under which incuba.
tion occurs also have an effect. The
vigor and character of the parent
stock and the length Of time the male
bird has been with the flock are also
important questions with respect to
egg fertility. At the outset Il should
be stated that fertility and "hatcha.
bility" are not necessarily identical.
An egg may be fertile and still the
germ does not have sufficient vitality
to produce a healthy chick under the
ordinary conditions Of incubation. In
a series Of incubator experiments at
the Rhode Island station, OF S,677 eggs
tested SO per cent were found to be
fertile, while only 46 per cent. Of the
fertile eggs, or 1876 per cent. of the
total number of eggs, hatched under
the conditions of the tests
The various observations made,
while not entirely conclusive, indicate
that In order to secure fertile eggs
which will hatch, the laying stock
must not be kept In very warm quar-
ters; males should be kept with the
hens continually and only those eggs
should be used which are produced
after the male has been with the hens
several days. Only fowls from very
vigorous parent stock and those known
TO produce high percentage OF fertile
eggs (hens vary widely in this re-
specD, should be used. The hens
should be allowed to rest after each
laying period. while the eggs should
be handled carefully, not be subjected
to extremes of temperature in storage
and be used only when comparatively
fresh.

MASH FEED FOR CHICKENS
The Number Feeding Wet Mash Ap-
pears to Be Increasing, as Re-
suits Given Are Better.

Most poultrymen feed mash-some
wet, some dry. The number feeding
the latter appears to be increasing.
Its advocates claim equal or greater
results, healthier and more vigorous
stock, and better results at Matching
time, and there certainly is a saving
of labor. There is no questioning the
fact that making and carrying wet
mash for any considerable number of
hens is hard work and takes time.
What do the hens say about dry
mash? We have tried It in a small
way, and have been surprised to
see how readily hens that had been
accustomed to wet mash took to It,
says writer in Good Literature. We
have fitted out FIVE pens with home
made dry-feed hoppers, and are trying
1t on the hens this winter A cut of
one of these hoppers is shown here.
with. II is made from a soap box 20
inches long. inches deep and Is
inches wide, inside measure. The
throat at the bottom is two inches, and
the tray part is two inches deep. The
cover is made sloping to discourage
any ease-loving hen from taking an
after.mash siesta thereon. Leather
hinges are used on some of ours. This
hopper might be made with the box
on end, making a shorter tray and
less exposed surface, If preferred.

Moisture In Ineubators.

Moisture tests at the Oregon station
were made in which incubators were
operated, according to the directions
of makers with the exception that
moisture was used In different
amounts. In the moisture machines
tray of dry sand was kept under the
eggs. The sand in the maximum mols-
ture machines was kept wet all the
time. or as wet as 1t could be kept
without water standing on the sand.
The final results showed an increase

Fence Out the Chickens.

A great many farmers and others do
not keep fowls because they claim
they destroy so much garden truck
and grain. That 1t is far better for
hens to run at large most of the time
is generally conceded, and of course
no one can have garden with hens
in it. The matter can be easily ar
ranged by having the garden fenced
in and the hens fenced out, contrary
to the usual method, fence four feet
high will answer and the fence can
be removable and of temporary char
aCter.

KANSAS BAN ON LIQUOR
Prohibits Prescriptions and Alec
hoI in Arts and Sciences.
Most Drastic Law Ever Put on Stat
ute Books of ANY State-Drug
Stores Out of Business.

Topeka, Kan.-Kansas has taken
the lead of all the States in absolutely
prohibiting the sale and manufacture
of alcoholic beverages. Governor
Stubs has signed the bill prohibiting
the sale Of liquors for any purpose,
and it is the most drastic law ever
put upon the statute books of any
State. Druggists are barred from
handling any kind of liquors, and
physicians are prohibited from pre-
scribing them for medicine. Alcohol
cannot be used in the arts and
sciences.
At least a thousand drug stores in
Kansas will go out of business before
June /, the date for the publication
of the law. Large stocks of liquors
in storage, in clubs, in wholesale
houses and drug stores will have to
be disposed of before the new law
takes effect. What will become of
the great stock of liquors is a prob
lem.
There are a great many prominent
Prohibitionists who fear the Legis-
lature went too far in absolutely pro-
hibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors
for any purpose, and especially in de-
nying physicians the privilege of pre-
scribing it in their practice. These
advocates are glad that the liquor
drug store is outlawed, but they ar
que that in making the law so sweep
ing there is likely to be a reaction
which would bring with it q reign of
the b~oot-legger, the club and tt
Joint" which have scandalized sew
eraI communities of the State. How
ever, the Attorney Generals office
does not take this view. In a state
ment John Marshall. Assistant Attor-
ney-General, said:
"This law is constitutional. The
Supreme Courts of several States, of
Kansas and of the United States have
said that a State may entirely pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of in
~toxicating liquors. This law will be
easier to enforce than the old law,
because of it's simplicity and because
of the power placed in the hands Of
county attorneys and the Attorney
General.
eff the friends of Prohibition and
law enforcement will not become
panic-stricken, but will stand and
present a solid front, Prohibition in
Kansas will advance to complete VIC
tory in the next two years. We will
enforce the law"

The Price. of Pearls.

Consul-General William H. Mich
ael, of Calcutta, reports that a scheme
has been set on foot to regulate the
Indian pearl market and to prevent
a repetition of the disastrous expert
ence Of last year, on account of the
money crisis in the United States.
An agency is to be formed in India
with several branches, and a head Of
fee at Bombay, to collect pearls and
to dispatch them to the London mar
ket at a fixed price, but subject to
offers. Against these parcels a small
advance will be given in Bombay,
while the price is being cabled for to
London. The promoters of the
scheme say that there is a great fu-
ture in store for the Indian pearl in
dustry if it can be properly handled.

SneeZing,

The custom Of saying "God bless

as old as the fifteenth century, as a
reference to it appears in the first

Christians-the result, apparently, of
their Incorporate habits-Caxton
proceeds: I'm this manere somtyme

Hadley Points Out Danger.

President Hadley of Yale writes:
I'm the year 1889 the whole French
people was in a state of political ex-
element. They seized eagerly upon
everything sensational. A young
journalist named Camille Desmoulins
shared this feeling and took advan-
tage of it. He wrote a series of arti-
cles called Lamp Post Talks to the
People of Paris in which he urged
that anybody who was not a friend
of the people ought to be taken to the
nearest lamp post and hanged. He
was not himself a bloodthirsty man.
He chose his title chiefly because it
sounded SO picturesque. After a time
he saw that they were executing a
great many innocent men and women
and began to tell men so. Then they
said that he was not a friend of the
people any longer, and hanged him.
This story has a moral for us in
America to-day. 1t shows the dan
gers that come to a people which
reads newspapers for the sake of ex-
element, instead of for the sake of
information"
