These bright days make work in the
poultry yard real pleasure.
Hens should not be expected to
drink ice water or eat corn out OF
snow.
Hens will not lay well or thrive
unless they have plenty of sunlight.
Keep the windows clean.
The idea of perfect comfort should

constructed for the chickens.
When fenced away from the gar
dens and flower beds fowls do little
damage and cause scarcely any annoy
ance on a farm.
, Chickens will not scratch when they
are overfed nor when there Is no
feed In the litter. The idea Is to keep
them scratching.
The material from which egg shells
are made is carbonate OF lime and
there are many forms in which this
may be furnished.
Hens that are not laying these days
can coaxed sometimes by feeding
them small amount of cut bone or
fresh meat in some form.
When it becomes necessary to wash
eggs on account of their becoming
soiled in the nest. don't use soap or
anything else but luke warm water.
The Indian Runner duck Is to the
duck family what the Leghorn Is to
the hen family. They are great lay
ers, but not so suitable for market
purposes.

clean as the dairy house and use

side of the building where they will

BENEFITS OF POULTRY SHOW
Of Particular Educational Value to Be-

(By r. II. WHITLEY

10Y ~ II. WhiIE.D
The educational value OF the poul
try show to the fancier, and particu.
larly to the beginner. cannot be over
estimated. A study of the standard
or other descriptions without the OPP
portunity to see live specimens could
never give the clear. concise concep-
ton OF variety which the poultry
birds creates. Nor is this benefit
lost to the experienced fancier. for
every opportunity which he gets to
see the birds Of his competitors and to
meet and exchange ideas with his fel-
low-breeders is of direct educational
value. After all. poultry breeding.
like all other livestock breeding. fol.
lows certain fashions. which are con-
stantly changing more or less slowly,
and for this reason the fancier who
never has opportunity to observe 9th.
er mems stock can scarcely expect to
keep abreast of these fashions in
birds. To the fanciers, therefore. both
old and new, the poultry show is lib
eral education. and In some sense q
necessity.
To those not particularly familiar
with poultry and who attend the show
largely from curiosity the exhibition
has a distinct educational value. 1t
opens their eyes to the extent and
degree to which poultry breeding has
been carried, and brings a realization
of importance of the industry. In this
relation the show has a direct value to
the industry in arousing interest In
poultry breeding and in gaining many
new recruits.
To the plain or utility poultryman
the show has, Of course, an education
al value. 1t may open his eyes to the
value Of pure-bred stock as compared
with scrub or mongrel stock. though
here 1t would seem to fail somewhat

Helen Of Troy
By ROYAL N. GREEN

Fred Erickson was heart-keen to
the fact that he loved the girl, but, as
yet. he had said nothing to her about
It. In fact he had never spoken to
her. They were not acquainted with
each other.
1t was what is called love at first
sight-that is. as far as Fred was con-
cerned. The first time he saw her she
was sitting opposite him on belt line
car going from Albany to Troy. and
his susceptible heart had gone pit-a-
pat. Chance thrust them together
often after that, but without an op-
portunity to become acquainted
Erickson, a young lawyer located In
Albany, should have been giving his
whole attention to the theories Of a
practice that was yet to come. In
stead, he dreamed the long Office hours
through, and all his dreams were Of
the fair unknown.
This fascinating girl was. in points
of beauty. a maid to marvel at. Her
eyes were dusky wells of midnight
with long, dark lashes that half hid
the depths of them, and the black of
these contrasted strangely with the
white of her satiny skin. All In all.
she was, from her daintily arranged
hair to the tips of her tiny shoes. the
sweetest girl creation that had ever
come to the ken Of Fred Erickson. He
longed to meet her.
Here romance stepped in.

peared so frequently to her, she did so

had in store.

will be almost impossible to raise a

breeds one year to a draft horse and
the produce afterward bred to some
cheap mongrel. His horses. in ten
years breeding are no better than
when he began. The price of service
fees should hardly be considered. 1t
is the matured horse to be considered.
1t costs as much to raise a low-priced
horse as to raise high-priced one. 1t
is all In the breeding.
Always use a pure-bred draft sire

then you are sure Of gaining. Select
one breed or the other and stick to it
and you will come out ahead and be
on the right road to success in the

A Fine Type Of Percheron.


CBy ]. d. DUMIRE)
The horse for the farmer Is the
draft-bred horse. He is the horse that
can be raised by the common farmer
with little trouble and expense. He is
in reach of almost every farmer in the
country. 1t is profitable business on
the farm to raise few good colts. I
say good colts. for it is just as easy to
raise good ones as poor ones.
1t is just as easy to raise good
horses as good cattle or good sheep or
good hogs. 1t does not pay to raise
poor ones-leave that for the other
fellow. The farmers that raise good
stock of any kind are the men that Sc
lect good sires. The men that have
good herds and good fiocks are the
men that select pure-blood sires from
one or the other of the several pure
breeds and stick to the breed of their
choice, If in cattle it is Shorthorns in
a few years his herd is all the same
type and color.
II 1t Is Angus or Herefords, the re-
suits are the same If this is true of
cattle and sheep, it is certainly true
of the horse. Fellow farmers, select a
sire from one of the pure breeds Of
draft horses-Percheron, Shire or Bel
giant matters but little which
breed.
1t is only matter of choice to the
breeder himself. Be sure that the sire
is a good individual. Breed just such
mares as you have. The better the
dam the better the result. Always
breed their produce to pure-bred sire
of the same breed.
/. In short time your mares are all
alike and Of the same type and dispo-
sition, all bearing a family resem-
blance. You will not have the iisposi-
ton of broncho in one and the trot-
ting horse in the other, but you will
have a class of horses that are easily
handled, easily fitted for the market
and an everyday market at home and
abroad.
You need not spend any extra time
and expense in looking after buyers;
the buyers are always looking after
this kind. If they get a wire-cut or
blemish they are the kind that are
useful to keep for any kind of farm
work. A good mare with proper care
will do just as much service on the
farm and raise a colt as will a geld
ing, and you have the colts for the
keep.
Never allow the colt, to follow the
dam when in harness. at work. as the
colt will do much better if left in the
barn, and the dam will be better OF
without the colt. Give the little fell
low some oats and bran in its trough;
it will soon learn to eat and forget its
dam.
