POULTRY NOTES.
Watch the flock carefully.
Feed the fowls regularly

WAUGH luG lOCk CdToIully.
Feed the fowls regularly.
Perfect cleanliness from now on will
cut short the louise crop of June.
If you stamp date on your eggs.
sell them before the date gets old
Fried chicken and fresh eggs are the
rewards for care in poultry raising.
Chicken stew and roasted chicken
are some of the delicacies in store for
poultry raisers.
Feed the little chicks ground grain
and skinned milk. Do not let the hen
lead them into wet grass.
When the brooder chicks seem very
thirsty, wild for water, let them drink
and feed very lightly while so fever
ish.
Fowls need green food at this sea-
son of the year. Better results will
be obtained if you allow them to Craze
a portion of the day.
Many a setting of eggs has been
spoiled by making the nest on the floor
where the wind can come up through
the cracks under the old mother hen
April is a good month to hatch goose
eggs. 1t is also an excellent time for
getting out ducllings. Stock Matched
now will be best for next years breed
ing.
Now is the time to begin if you
wish to have turkeys for Thanksgiving
and Christmas. Few fowls are more
profitable than turkeys when properly
managed.
Does that old hen lay? Try this if
she does not Feed her all the chopped
clover she will eat. with an ounce of
lean meat every day. If there is any
lay in her that will bring it out.

MANY FAIRIES IN KAFFIRlAND
Merry Little Children Told Weird
Stories of Elves and COLLINS
Babies Are "Smoked."

There are fairies of all kinds in
Kaffirland-so at least you would be
told by the merry little children whose
dark skins CLEAN like satin as they
romp and play in the sun. When the
long. happy day is over and dusk
comes on. they gather round the open
fire in a wide circle, and some old
woman of the tribe stands up and
tells them weird stories of elves and
COLLINS; of grim Inzimus, or orgies.
who do most dreadful things to boys
and girls who come under their SPELLS
Fortunately. however, there is always
some good genius at hand in the
shape of a"Rabbit Prince" or FAIRY
Bird" to come to the rescue, and mon
ster serpents have most encouraging
way of turning into noble kings with
gorgeous palaces.
In South Africa it is not only the
children who believe in fairy folk,
for whenever a little bronze baby
comes to the kraal, his mother
Smokes" him over fire made of
some understanding wood, until he
is half-suffocated by the pungent odor.
When he cries she laughs with glee,
for she thinks that this means that
the wizard, who is always supposed to
be lying in wait for nice fat baby,
has been driven away by the thick
smoke.

POINTERS IN POULTRY BREEDS
Many Things to Be Considered in Sc.
Letting Pen of Chickens for
Egg Production.

In selecting a pen of fowls for egg
and meat production there are sew
eral points to be considered, outside
the question of breed. The most i'm
portant is the health and vitality of
the fowls. The greatest problem in
poultry keeping is to keep UP the
strength and vigor of the stock. Some
of the principal things that produce
weakness in the fowls are inbreeding,
breeding from fowls that lack in
health and vitality, improper incuba-
ton ard brooding, unsuitable hous-
ing. too close confinement, unclean
houses and yards. lack of proper food.
Constitutional weakness is shown in
various ways. Small size, lack of
breadth and depth of body, thin, wab-
bly, legs and knock knees, and shallow
breast usually indicate lack of vigor.
AS to size. it is safe plan not to
use any pure-breeds that do not come
up to standard weights. A chicken
may be pure-bred and lack in some of
these things. 1t doesn't necessarily
follow that because a chicken is pure
bred it is profitable to keep. In pur-
chasing be careful to select fowls hav-
ing vigor alertness and size Better
have vigorous "mongrel" than
pure-breed lacking in stamina
One advantage of the pure-breeds
is that the offspring are more uniform
in size and shape. Uniformity of
product, whether of eggs or dressed
chicken. hes market value The
barnyGrd fowl with a mixed ancestry
will usually produce chickens of diff
ferent sizes and shapes, different col
or OF skin and legs, and varying in
quality of flesh. In such flock one
may have the size and characteristics
of the egg breeds, another of the
meat breeds, etc. The color and size
of the egg will also vary. The main
advantage OF the pure-breeds is that
you get a more uniform product from
them than from the mixed fowls. The
pure-breeds should lay more eggs
than the "mongrels." granting that
they have equal stamina Then, of
course, the pure-breeds are more at
tractiye in appearance than the mixed
chickens, and as many people keen
chickens both for pleasure and profit
the uniformity in color and shape of
pure-breeds should be considered. On
the whole, both for utility as well as
fancy considerations. the pure-breeds
have advantages over the mongrel
fowls. The thing to be avoided, how
ever, is the buying of chickens lust
because they are pure-breeds, for
there are "mongrel" pure-breeds SO
far as vigor and profit-making ca
pacity are concerned

NOT WHAT TOMMY DIES
Incident That Caused Younsste
Have Grave Doubts Of the
Efficacy of Prayer.

The Sunday school lesson had beel.
on the efficacy of prayer, and the
teacher had done her best to instill
into the youthful mind the belief that
our prayers are answered. There was
one doubling Thomas, however, who
insisted that he knew better.
"Why, Tommy, am surprised to hear
you say you don't believe our prayers
are answered" expostulated the
teacher.
81 know they amt" persisted Tom
my, doggedly.
What flakes you think so?" asked
the teacher.
q don't think it; I know it, re-
piled Tommy. You know the angels
brought new baby to our house last
week.
Eyes, heard about that said the
teacher, Now, surely, that was an
answer to prayer, wasn't it?'
ut was, nit" replied Tommy dis
gustedly. "Why, for six months I've
been prayin' for goat
