Feather Pulling.

The trouble with your chickens is
not disease, but so-called bad hab-
it which is frequently observed in poul-
try yards during the late winter and
early spring, says a writer in Balti-
more American in answer to query.
Many people believe it to be due to
id1eness in the flock, and they rec
ommend exercise as the cure. There
is a good deal in this, and fiocks have
been helped by being obliged to
scratch in straw or leaves for the
greater part of their food, that is.
their grain food. The cause, however,
is not so much lack Of exercise as
lack of salt in their food. Idle fowls
will pull the feathers from one an
others necks and get little flavor
of the salt in the soft part at the base
of the feather. This taste prompts
continued pulling. and often the fowls
necks are bare almost their full
length. The remedy is to give abund-
dant opportunity to exercise and feed
a small quantity of salt in the wet
mash, just enough to season the mix
ture. The habit is rarely observed
when fowls have free range. At least,
it is far less common among them
than among those shut up In city
yards.

MUCH GOOD IN COOPERATION
System Brings Farmers Together, As
sllres a Square Deal and Main
tains Steady Market.

A year ago the farmers Of Ham
mond, La, organized a cooperative
milk-selling association. Hammond
was the chief supplier of milk for New
Orleans. When the dealers proposed
to reduce the price to 20 per cent. the
association objected and at the end
of negotiations it was unanimously de-
cided to set up their own city pasteur-
fzing, bottling and distributing, writes
N. o. Nelson In the Southern Guilt
yator. On their joint responsibility
they borrowed the large capital re-
quired at per cent. interest, to be
paid by 71a per cent. of the milk.
They maintained the former price and
soon secured the largest business in
the city.
The dealers were compelled to pay
the same price and to look up new
sources of supply. This and the activ-
ity of the cooperation plant has given
a great impetus to dairying. Many To-
calities which had never shipped any
milk have been walked up to the profit
ableness of dairying.
The cooperative association has
formed local associations agreeing to
sell together for two years and of
course they ship to the cooperation.
There have also been formed credit
societies, made up of Is to 20 farmers,
who on their, joint responsibility Dor
row money, buy carloads of COWS and
sell at auction to the members. The
cows are paid for in milk at $3.50 or
$500 a month per COW, the society
owning the cows until paid for. The
milk must be shipped to the co-opera-
ton. which hold out the monthly pay
ments and pay the sum over to the
credit society The profit on the re-
sale Of the cows belongs to the soci-
ETY.. which thus aceumulates its own
capital. Creameries are organized in
the same way The state health board
and the agricultural college have
Joined in pushing dairying in the state.

Looking Toward Better Poultry.

1t is probable that some farmers
viii never raise pure-bred poultry.
But there is no good reason why they
should not have a flock Of pure-bred
fowls. A coop Of nice birds of one
breed and color will always bring a
little more In the market, other things
being equal, than coop of mixed
breeds. The infusion of new blood

for the rest of my life. 1 am tired of
the ocean. l want to try another way
Of living"
"Oh, you foolish little Mummy
Chug!" roared the surf. DO you think
you can live anywhere but in the
water? Wen. come along, Jump up
on my back
So the Mummy Chug got up ON top
of the surf, and the tide took him
In to shore and dropped him on the
sand.
1t was very strange for fish. es-
pecially such little fish. to be on
shore. The Mummy Chug looked
around him and blinked his little round
eyes In the sun. Suddenly queer
checking feeling came in his gills.
Why, he could not breathe so easily
on shore as he could in the water.
The air was not such a pleasant thing
to have inside as the good salt water.
The Mummy Chug looked longingly
out 10 sea. He began to pant and feel
very weak, but no one noticed him,
not even the children. They were
much too busy building castles of sand
for the tide to tumble over and wash
away. None of them saw the Mummy
Chug except one. the smallest child OF
all. The smallest child was tired of
play. She was walking up and down
the beach. letting the waves catch her
little bare toes. when all at once she
spied the poor, sick little Mummy Chug.
He could scarcely breathe at all now
as he lay on the hot sand
why. you poor little fish" said the
smallest child. What are you doing
up here on the beach? You are quite
too small to have been caught by
fisherman, and no one would evar
think OF using you to bait lobster
pot. i am afraid you are too little
even for that. Come / will put you
back in the sea again.
So the child took the Mummy Chug
very carefully in her hand and dropped
him in the sea. and the surf took him
out farther.
II told you So said the tide. Your
place Is in the water, not on land.
II think you are right, said the
little Mummy Chug.--Caroline s. Bailey
in kindergarten Magazine.
