DON'Ts.

Don't keep poultry right close to the
well. You can't use the water; 1t will
fmell.
Don't forget that fruit and poultry
pay There'll be fruit TO sell and store
away.
Don't leave doors open. Your cocks
may get together and be spoiled for
show.
Don't imagine crows are Just pest ex-
terminators. They are great chick
perambulators.
Don't let the babes alone In the
house where they can get at the in
subator. Oh, no; you're not such a
careless mater.
Don't let the chickens track the back
porch. Such man any wife should
scorch.
Don't put that brooder too near the
road. Some thief may haul it off all
In one load.
Don't bed small chicks on sawdust.
It brings Ills and kills.

FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.

If you have duck eggs for sale there
is a market for them among the He
brew population in the cities. They
bring more than hen eggs, and card
to a reliable egg firm will bring infor-
nation as to prices and shipping.
AS a proof that it pays to feed green
food we need only state that in a
years test with 200 hens at the West
Virginia experiment station 100 hens
fed green's with their grain and meat
ration laid 11,452 eggs and the other
100 on an exclusive grain and meat
ration laid 9,039.
An egg eater will pick at a china
egg for awhile, roll it, tramp on it,
squirt at it, swear at it and walk
away in disgust After that she'll
likely not bother real eggs. Just like
the time when a boy, slick, in a bag
hid brick and you gave it a good
, kick.
Blackhead has not only destroyed
nearly all the turkeys in New Eng
land, but a similar disease has spread
to quail, and the Massachusetts fish
and game commission is investigating
the matter, as are DR.. TheObald Smith
and Dr. f. f. Tyzzer of Harvard med
zeal school and Or. Philip Hadley Of
the Rhode Island experiment station.
When you are sure your fowls have
cholera and you wish to kill the bac-
terra that gets into the drinking wa
ter, use stone fountains, in which you
put corrosive sublimate, part to 1900
parts water.
In England the "Chantecler" craze
has so caught the women that barn
yard bonnets," in the shape of big
ROSTERS with red combs, are worn for
J hats. If 1t just reaches this side and
our girls buy our big ROSTERS at an
Easter bonnet price, oh, how nice!
The duty on hens eggs is 5 cents. but
birds eggs come in free. A fancier
importing eggs requested a decision
from Washington as TO whether a hen
is bird or what After long and tedi-
Gus deliberatiOn it was decided that a
hen is q bird, but as she is hen also
the duty must be paid. The fellow
who made that decision is a bird also,
maybe a crO-cus.
When Antoinette Miller, a girl of
Ithaca, n. Y, drank bichloride of mer-
curry In mistake her mother gave her
a quart of warm water and then, rush
ing to the street, held up grocer wag-
on and secured five dozens of eggs. She
gave the whites of these eggs to the
girl and saved her life. Just twenty
minutes later and her daughter would
have been dead. Better cut this out
and keep eggs handy.
