ONE BREED ON THE FARM.
Poultry Can Be Improved on the Same
Idea as Stock.

Poultry Can Be Improved on the Same
Idea as Stock.
The community idea might be work
ed great deal more than 1t Is in the
pure bred poultry business. Better
results could be had IL the farmers
In given locality would all keep one
breed Of poultry. If they would unite
on some good, popular. easy selling
breeds they would find buyers much
more easily than where each man
keeps different kind Of stock.
With dairy cattle this plan has work
ed wonderfully well for certain groups
of farmers in various parts Of the
country. In Wisconsin there is a dairy
center where almost everybody keeps
Guernseys. In New York state there
Is a region where dozens of farmers
keep Holsteins. In northern New
Jersey there is another Guernsey CEN
ter, and In various parts OF the coun-
try there are Jersey and Ayrshire
dairy centers. In all these localities
there are hundreds Of pure bred ami
mails which can be seen in a few
hours. Such condition becomes
known all over the country, and buy
ers travel hundreds of miles, know
ing that II they do not find just what
they want at the first farm they are
likely to find it farther on in the same
neighborhood.
In southern Rhode Island breeders
In an accidental way kept a native
class Of fowls which later were known
as Rhode Island Reds. When this
breed began to attract notice the re-
gion was visited by scores of buyers,
who picked up every decent colored
bird at fancy price, putting thousands
Of dollars into the hands Of the farm
ers that they never could have had ex-
pected for the demand at more than
market prices.
If fifty farmers In a neighborhood
would unite on almost any poultry
breed there would be no difficulty
in finding a market. A great many
breeders with a reputation and
host Of regular customers would be
glad to know Of locality where they
could buy what extra stock they need
to fill their orders. The farmers
could easily sell the stock themselves
to one Of their number or through
one Of the New York or Boston con-
Germs which make speciality of
pure bred stock in large quantities.
1t Is not very difficult matter for
the farmer to learn to sell his stock
on his own account. Fancy birds will
almost sell themselves.

MY MARY ANNER's PIANNER.

When the days seem sorter dreary
An of work I'm gittin weary
An I'm feelin sorter sourlike an sad,
When the hull world seems opposin'
An all human love seems frozen
An the hull creation seems a-goin' to the
bad.
Then's the time my Mary Amer
list tunes up her mouth pianner
An she sings an trills like angels up
above.
Then I'm lifted out OF sadness
To a world where all Is gladness
An the earth gifts bright an full Of Joy
an love.
"Come along an do some playin'.
You'll be winnin' cash to beat the very
band.
Come an take some ole rye whisky.
It will make you young an frisky.
How kin you resist highballs that are so
grand?
Then's the time. thank God. my Mary.
Like an angel or some fairy,
snare.
An turn an lick the devil,
An keep my head list level,
An I try to live a life that's on the
square.
Let's have more like Mary Amer.
With her love an mouth pianner,
An this world will git all holy light an
love.
Then when everything is ended
This ole world will jist git blended
above.

A Very RestfuI Rest.

Adolf Mcneil, the German artist. was
at one time engaged on a mural deco
ration. He had rugged up scaffolding
in his studio. on which his model was
requested to stand. For two long
hours the poor poseur stood up aloft
In a most fatiguing posture. Menzel
In the meantime worked at his sketch,
needless of the fact that his model was
growing tired.
At length the model found it neces-
sary to speak. Herr professor" said
he. "how about recess?"
Mcneil apologized profusely for his
fOrgetfulness. Certainly, certainly,
my dear sir" said he. Come down
and rest yourself bit"
The model had clambered from the
scaffolding to the ladder. which led
down from II TO the studio floor.
"Stopw cried the artist suddenly.
THAT pose is fine! Don't move a mus
Gle"
And once more the model was forced
into strained rigidity, while the enthu-
slastic craftsman set about sketching
him.
At the end Of half an hour Mcneil
looked up from his work. There"
said be; that will do nicely! Get back
on the scaffold. We have had our
rest. Let us get back to work again"
What the model said is left to the
readers Imagination.

THAT WHITE suGABoo.

The government microbe experts GER
tainly make a bugabOo out OF their 80
called deadly white diarrhea" scourge.
They surely exhaust theories and
printers ink with no result.
This trouble among chicks is simply
the result of sins Of commission and
omission. II you have this ailment
among your birds you are to blame
and not the much abused microbes.
Many Of our chicks died with this
disease in our early experience in the
poultry business, but now we don't
see one case to the hundred, and we
hereby give you the principal reasons:
Our White Wyandotte breeders bub-
BILE over with vigor and give us strong,
plump, livable chicks.
We use no cheap, claptrap hatch
ing and brooding machines, apply lots
Of moisture and aren't afraid to cool
eggs.
We never inbred, mate old stock
generally, and one side of the pen
must at least be two years old.
Matching eggs are carefully selected,
kept In a cool place, are never over
ten days old when set, are regularly
turned by rolling with the hand, chicks
aren't helped from the shell, and puny,
quietus.
We aren't afraid to open the incu-
bator door during the hatch and don't
"mollycoddle" the chicks.
We take them from the incubator
quick as possible and sleep them in
baskets and feed them In boxes for q
few days. so when they go to the
brooder they know how to eat, are
hardened to the air and can go right
into the scratch room to exercise for
their food.
We get our chicks out on the ground
as soon as they get their legs and
know their brooder. This prevents leg
weakness. Our brooder is colony style,
with drumless hover, top heat and
is bedded with loamy sand kept SAM
tary and well ventilated, the front
door being open for air soon after the
chicks are In, weather permitting. We
start brooders at 30 degrees, which in
cludes heat furnished by chicks, and
gradually taper down according to
need Of chicks, always avoiding ex-
IRENE either way, as an overheated
chick gets bowel trouble as quickly as
one that is chilled.
On a cool night we warm up hover
to make 1t more inviting. On q chilly,
windy day we heat up when chicks
are out, even If the heat has been
shut off, unless chicks are too large.
We dry off the chicks If caught in
storm and warm the brooder during
steady rains to prevent dampness and
try to keep our birds from getting wet,
for that means diarrhea unless they
are well grown and feathered and also
causes gapes.
We feed only dry, sweet, ground
grain, starting them generally on q
good chick food, cracking our own
wheat and white corn and giving Just
enough to keep them a little hungry.
They also have before them sharp
hard grit, charcoal, good, sweet beef
scrap and pure water. and we never
change feed suddenly. Last. but not
least, we knock the lice. Our chicks
neither have white diarrhea, gapes nor
leg weakness. Try our plan and be
convinced.
