DIET FOR HENS.


During the busy days, don't forget
% provide for the hens diet as well
as for other stock; while preparing
dainties for the table, hoard up some
for the hens.
Perhaps several will have a patch
of sorgum; now the seed, or the
heads, may be stored in loft. or
corner of some outbuilding. and will
be a very dainty feed this winter
for all kinds of poultry. There is
quite a lot of food value in them,
aside from their benefit as change
of diet.
If there is a patch of late corn,
cure and store it away. When chop
ped into sizeable pieces, it will be
found valuable feed when all green
forage is sealed up with snow and
ice.
Glover is very valuable and where
clover hay is fed to stock. there will
be abundance Of shatterings for the
poultry. whether fed dry in a clean
dry place, or whether steamed, or fed
in a bran mash, the value of clover
sbatterings is greater than many
think.
Save all the cabbages. whether
heads or not; hens dearly love to
pick at the leaves and heads. Cab
bage is OF value for supplying the
missing green stuff, chiefly; but 1t
tends to aneeping the poultry in good
health. Turnips are good as an ap-
petizer, and are we'll worth saving
They should be chopped rather fine
and fed raw, or else cooked done,
and mixed with the mash, or with
table scraps.
If you have no sorgum seed OF
your own, make an effort to obtain
a load of some one who has grown
a patch for molasses. In our neigh
borhood, the heads are usually left
where they cut them off: even if for
sale, the cost would be little as COM
pared with their value, and the cost
Of other feed.
A load of sharp sand, or small
gravel would be good investment,
and should oe obtained before too
late; also a pile Of crockery for grit.
either broken into bits now, or else
stored to be broken as needed.
Dust and leaves don't come under
the head Of feed, but they are very
necessary nevertheless, and . gener-

TO CARE FOR CHICKS.

wise was he who said, An ounce
of prevention is worth pound or
cure and in view of this fact, chicks
should be closely watched during the
early stages of their development to
see if they become infected with par
asites. In view of this possible in
lection. it would be very good plan
to dust the plumage of the hen with
disinfectant powders before her brood
is Matched. These powders should
be handled carefully, as it would in
jure the eyes Of the hen, should they
get into them. Upon taking the
chicks from the nest. they should be
examined for lice. These pests are
rather difficult to see; are usually OF
a light grayish color, and are to be
found on the tops of the chicks
heads, or under their throats. A
small quantity of sweet oil rubbed
about their heads and necks will
prove very effective in Kidding them
of these plaques. A little finely pow
dered earth-aust will often prove
beneficial when sprinkled over the
chicks. Grown-up fowls battle in the
earth-dust for the purpose Of Kidding
them selves OF lice.
After attending to the radiance Of
the chicks of external parasites, the
possible gapes should be guarded
against. This disease, if such it
should be termed, is very destructive

is of red color. and measures from

number of remedial agents have
been recommended but the removal
of the worm is the best remedy.
One way to accomplish this removal
IS to moisten the end of a small
feather from which the web has been
stripped except the tip, with oil or
salt water, and then introducing it
into the windpipe. twist it around and
then withdraw it. This motion OF
tho feather will usually entangle tho
worm, and it will be drawn out with
the feather. A small QUANTITY Of
sulphur mixed with corn meal moist

a GOOD remedy.

OATS FOR POULTRY.

The Cleaner cheerfully adds his
recommend to the agricultural Epf
tomist's" suggestion as to oats for
poultry. 1t says
Oats make an excellent food TOT
the poultry, providing they are OF
the right kind. The long, slim oa,
with plenty of husk or hull, is poor
feed for anything, but the plump
meaty oat is good feed FOR al
stock, including poultry.
Hulled cats for young chickens a.
ter they are three or four weeks ola
will help them to make bone ana
muscle faster than any other QUO
feed, and this is the most desiraDs
element at this period of growth
For grown or feeding fowls we na''
at most seasons of the year fed on'
feed of oats daily with most saus
factory results. We have fed SOME
oats after boiling them, for fall ANU
winter feeding, but they were OF pou
quality, and the boiling was to sol'sl
the bulls rather than because w
boiling added any other value 70 ~
oats feed itself. Boiling IS not nec~
sary with good oats except by M'
of variety in feeding. The pest sa'
is to feed them in the litter. ss.

will have to do considerable scasuD

colored people were being retarded in
their progress by a fondness for craps
and other low forms of gambling Be
| ing traditionally childish by nature,
the lure OF the bones" all decorated
with little spots, aggregating seven
or eleven or other numbers. has been
thought to be fatal to them. But there
is Il distinct evidence OF improvement
II this news story showing how the col
ored people OF Columbia raised nearly
81 600 to pay of an Indebtedness on
their church-tlle day after the fight
at Reno.
We accept this as at least partial
proof that the colored brethren are ris-
ing above those base forms of gamb-
linS which formerly menaced their
progress. The game OF craps is un-
certain as We'll as evil. The seven
and the eleven occasionally refuse,
with diabol;cal stubbornness to come
at the right time. And it would re
guire luck OF no human kind for even
an entire congregation of colored peO-
pie to win $lI6S by the process We
have III mind
1t is quite plain that the colored
people OF Columbia have set their
hearts upon higher things We have
no doubt they have great affection for
John Arthur Johnson. and we feel
sure they placed their faith in him,
even before the fight. But so long as
blood is thicker than water there can
be nc marveling at this. Ii would be
sad indeed if they We're not loyal to
their own kind.
Nevertheless. We perceive distinct
sign that the sons of Ham are begin
ming to scorn the harmful game OF
craps. AT least. ii is apparent that
the colored people of Columbia have
experienced such change OF heart.

LARGEST CIRCULATION
IN BOONE COUNTY.
A POOR EXCUSE.

The meeting panned to open the po
litical campaign for county offices Sat
urday at Harrisburg was not held. The
reason assigned is that the farmers
were not in town. Just al present
the farmer is a pretty busy man. He
is at home assisting nature in the task
of preparing for the harvest. In gen
eral way this is commendable, yet in
this particular instance il demon
matters which has permitted the pro-
fessiOnal politician to step in and ma
nipulate county. state and national al
fairs in his own behalf and that of
those he serves. 1t is of little moment,
perhaps. that the farmer should drop
his work to listen to these speakers,
but the principle makes for careless
ness in the management of county bus
mess when these officials shall have
been chosen. Good judgment and
watchful care in the selection of coun-
ty officers insures honest service to
the people.
Every voter should attend these
meetings and show an interest in the
selection of county servants. That
the farmer is busy" is poor excuse.

SURVEY ISSUES BULLETIN
UPON COAL INCA FOSSILS

The fossils of the Coalinga district,
covering about 700 square miles, are
discussed and described in report by
Ralph Arnold, just published by the
United Staes geological survey as its
bulletin 1906. The oil resources of this
region have brought it to wide general
notice, and explorations have been
made by geologists of the survey to de-
termine the areal limits of the oilbear-
ing rocks. In these explorations the
identification of the various strata from
place to place by their fossils was the
chief means of fixing the limits of the
oil-bearing strata. The region is un-
usually rich in fossils, and the work
done affords a striking example of the
direct practical utility of paleontologic
research.
Mr. Arnold sketches the geology of
the region and describes the fossils in
detail. His discussions of the age and
correlation of the geologic strata of the
region are of essentially technical in
terest and value. Most of the fossils
described are of tertiary age. The bull
letin is illustrated by many reproduc-
tions of photographs of fossils. 1t may
be had free of cost by applying to the
director of the survey at Washington.
