Poultry Notes.

Fowls love to thrash out a bundle of
wheat or oats, and it does one good
to step around to the door Of the
poultry house and listen to the merry
chatter while the fowls are digging in
the straw.
Some farmers neglect the % to so
cents that the battening of cracks in
the coop would cost, and each month
feed dollars worth of extra corn il
order to supply the animal heat
needed.
The answer to the question, Does
winter poultry pay? depends in a large
measure upon where your hens are
roosting. If on the bare branches of
a tree, on the northeast corner of the
barn, there can be no doubt about it.
There is a disposition to sit around
and sleep in winter. Hens will drop
into that habit if you do not help them
to stir around and work for their liv-
ing. That is why a scratching shed is
good, and why plenty of litter keeps
the fowls healthy.
Scatter a little grain among litter
at noon, and give a full feed at night
What is meant by full feed Of grain
is about a good handful for each fowl
In the pen. A mixture of corn, wheat,
oats and barley, equal parts by meas
urement, makes an excellent mixture
for winter.
Raise your chickens outdoors at all
seasons Of the year, give them every
opportunity to get fresh air and sun
shine. Keep them in small focks
until they coost regularly. Keep the
roofs Of all breeders and coops water
tight; dampness is fatal to chickens,
old or young. If coops leak, cover
with tar roofing or canvas painted
with several coats Of white Lead.

BRAVE BOY.
Thinks of His Mother While in Great

fPlease don't tell mamma. She's sick

year-old Benjamin Levinson as he was
carried into Bellevue hospital, New York
suffering with a broken thigh. On his
left foot was a roller skate, the right
skate having been wrenched off when the
boy was struck by an automobile owned
by DR.. @. S. Cole at Fifth avenue and
Thirty-ffth street. The car, a big tour
ing machine, was coming down the ave
nue. when Young Levinson, who was
skating in the street. turned sharply in
front of it, according to the story of the
chauffeur. Before the brakes could stop
the car it had struck the boy, knocking
him down. A policeman of traffic squad
placed the chauffeur under arrest and
ordered the car with the boy driven to
Bellevue hospital. On the way to the
hospital young Levinson repeatedly
asked them not to worry his mother
with news Of his accident. He reiterated
the request, despite his pain, when car
ried into the building.

Advantages of a SiIo.

Silos have become one of the fixed
appointments of successful dairy and
stock farms where economy in feed is
necessary to achieve profitable results.
The expense of silo often prevents
its use by farmers who feel that they
cannot spare the money for such an
! equipment The intelligent feeder
who has carefully investigated the ad-
vantageg of a silo is the man loudest
in its praise. 1t has become recog-
nized that high class results in feed
/ ing live stock cannot be consummated
without feeding silage.
Deleterious results seldom follow
/ feeding ensilage. If such results do
! follow it comes from either overfeed-
ing or from spoiled silage. Silage is
recognized as Of great economic value
! in feeding dairy cows. Where dairy
/ farming is made a speciality but few
/ diaries are operated without the use
/ Of silage. 1t is equally valuable as
ration for young cattle and has decid-
/ ed merits when fed to steers being
! fattened for market. Sheep and swine

ton of rOughage it could be generally
utilized for ali classes of live stock.
! The dairy COW could be fed forty
pounds of silage daily, while thirty
pounds would be ration for beet

A silo enables the farmer to econ
! omize in space in the storage OF feed
! 1t requires double the space to store
| the same feed nutriments In dry
| roushage as in silage. The sllo can

and become a permanent improvement

TERRIBLE HARDSHlpS
met BY EXPLORERS
Shackleton's Men Nearly Died
of Starvation in the Ant
. arctic.

Christ Church, N. a., March 90
Lieutenant Shackleton's ship Nimrod
had returned here with the exploring
party aboard, all OF whom are well.
The members Of the expedition give
some additional details to those a.
ready published.
Professor David and his compan-
ions recoun that when they started
on the journey to the magnetic pole,
to pull their two sledges in singlets.
There vas half a tor of provisions
on each sledge. After q comparatively
al $50 miles journey along the sea
ice they had q hard and almost hope
less climb to the inland plateau. They
carried their lives in their hands, fight
ing their way inch by inch and suf-
fered great privations on the return
journey. When rescued by the Nimrod
they were a party Of gaunt skeletons;
the Nimrod had almost given them
UP for lost.
The members Of Lieutenant Shackle-
toms party state that when they were
compelled to turn back, their bodily
strength was diminishing so rapidly
that their temperature went down to
far below, in some cases reaching to
80 degrees and in others. considerably
lower than that. They nearly died
from starvation before finding one OF
the depots and always were on very
short rations. Had this party been
two days later in reaching the MINI
rod she would have been frozen in for
another season. They declare that any
future explorer attempting to reach the
pole must be provided with much
larger supplies Of food, because there
Is no doubt that the south pole is sit
uated on a high plateau and the coolest
and stormiest weather in the world
prevails there, there being 20 degrees
Of frost under the very mildest con-
ditions.
Lieutenant Shackleton declined to
say anything regarding the protest
tralia, because It had received no news
Of the Nlmrod's arrival at Stewart
island, although the commonwealth
had voted $25 1000 toward the expenses
Of the expedition.
