THE POULTRY YARD

Perfect cleanliness from now on will
cut short the louise crop of June.
If you stamp a date on your eggs,
sell them before the date gets old.
Keep your meat scraps where they
will not get stale and sour. Fresh feed
is what makes healthy hens.
Feed little and often, and be careful
about overfeeding. This Is the great
secret in feeding brooder chicks.
Danish the fighting stock from your
pens. Give them a place all by them
selves. That is the best kind of arbi-
tration.
Cook some beans or peas, mix them
with wheat bran and feed twice a week
and see If you don't get a lot more
eggs.
Have everything convenient. Steps
saved in the care of poultry Will mean
that much less labor. Labor costs
money.
When the brooder chicks seem very
thirsty, wild for water, let them drink
and feed them very lightly while SO fe-
verish.
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 moth
er hen.
April is good month to hatch
goose eggs. 1t Is also an excellent time
for getting out ducklings. Stock
Matched now will be best for next
years breeding.
Wet, cold feet do not do your hens
any good. Chills them and keeps them
back from doing their level best, and
that is the only thing that will satisfy
you and me.
Don't be in a hurry to remove the hen
and her brood from the nest. The ten
der little chicks need warmth more
than they do feed for the first twenty
four hours.
Does the old hen lay? Try this IL
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.-Farm

has black blotches where diamonds
ought to be. She is built like a car
rier pigeon, being able to fly on top of
the chicken coop and from there onto
the two-story house. This shows to
me that the male has the strongest in
fluence on the progeny and also re-
tains general conformation on his side
of the house. When breeding the fe-
male Hamburgs they lost the entire
Hamburg color, but retained the Ham
burg shape, also laying qualities of
both breeds is strongly marked. Both
the Hamburgs and Brown Leghorns
were from the same family, so you
would naturally expect same marked
individuality in the progeny, but that
does not seem to be the case. The

Brown Leghorn never appeared. /

HUSBAND AND WIFE

Misery" says the old proverb,
''makes us acquainted with strange
bedfellows." But who ever expected to
hear of a miserable wife being obliged
to lie in bed with a damp umbrella?
A man named Couscoussou was once
tried by the Paris tribunal of cor
rectional police, for having beaten
Nine. Couscoussou, his wife.
ut appears that you thrashed her
with great brutality; what have you
got to say for yourself?' asked the
president.
''if your wife wouldn't let you carry
an umbrella, what would you do?"
"Oh, the monster! oh, the brigand!"
chimed in Nine. Couscoussou. what
he says is not true. Mr.. President. He
was drunk when he beat me-"
who doesn't get drunk now and
then?" asked M. Couscoussou.
But you get drunk always" an
swered the wife. "And, Mr. President,
when he's drunk, he insists on going
to bed with his boots on, and with
his umbrella. That is his character"
II wear my boots in bed to keep my

'It is in the wetness of the UNI

my excuse. A prudent man is never
without his umbrella when it rains;
and, as it was raining when l arrived
at home and went to bed, 1 took it

"Oh, you drunkard!" shrieked Nine.
Couscoussou. but 1 appeal to all
women here present." she continued,
turning to the auditory, 'if it be pleas

"It was raining, I tell you,' ex-

Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-03

California is ahead of all other
states in the number of edibles sold by
weight; and experience has proved
that it is the only equable way of Civ
ing the purchaser his moneys worth
and the merchant his deserved profit.
1t would be just as easy to sell eggs
by weight as any other commodity
and large eggs would be more profit
able than small eggs. The subject has
been under serious discussion In the
east for some time, and even the gov
ernment experts have voiced their
opinion in the matter.
Eggs laid by the great American
hen are too small, according to DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, department of agricul-
ture. The doctors theory is that
hen has just so much egg-producing
capacity taken in bulk, and that the
aim of breeders is to increase the num-
ber of eggs by reducing their size.
I'VE should buy everything by
weight. In France the law has gone
so far as to make provision merchants
sell eggs by weight, instead of by the
dozen. Here we stick to the dozen.
What is the result? Why, we get the
smallest eggs that can be produced.
The principles of breeding are applied
to hens in such a way that they are
laying the smallest egg possible.
I'm an egg we get less and less
weight by nutriment, so that the hen
will be able to lay more eggs to be
sold at rate per Dozen"
An egg represents a days labor for
a hen, and il she has produced an egg
weighing two and one-half ounces she
has accomplished rs per cent more IN
the day than her sister hen who laid
a two-ounce egg, and dozen OF her
eggs should command a premium OF 20
per cent or more above regular price
Tor eggs of same quality.
Now since an egg is days labor
for a hen it stands to reason that II
we can get the hen to perform her
labor in the winter months instead of
the spring months our premiums FOR
size will be more than doubled.
A hen has just 20 much producing
capacity and if her owner gets her to
do her producing in the winter when
eggs are high in price she will do less
producing in the spring and summer
when eggs are cheap. Lay in winter,
loaf. in summer, has been maxim
with me.
Hens do not lay for pleasure nor
pas time. Anyone who has ever
wai he'd a hen expel an egg knows she
does not lay for the fun of the thing,
yet l do not think 1t is more difficult
for the "big egg" hen to lay her egg
than for the little egg hen to lay
hers.
The time will come, ii may or may not
be far distant, when the consuming
public will demand eggs by weight
and the poultry breeders of the coun-
try might as well be ready for 1t and
be able to furnish larger eggs.
1t is no small trick to breed up a
strain of big egg hens, yet it is done
on the same principle as breeding for
ANYTHING else, viz: Selection and rigid
culling all the time.

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CROSS

In the year 1908 I tried an expert
ment and bred four Silver Spangled
hens to a Brown Leghorn cock; l
raised four pullets and no cockerel.
The pullets are black, excepting white
spots all over them. like snowfiakes.
Three have single combs and one
rose comb. 1 kept them separated, and
they started to lay April 2, 1909, and
quit laying November l. 1909. They
layed seven months. Records as fol-
lows: 14O eggs, 152 eggs, 157 eggs and
1862 eggs. These four pullets have the
shape of Hamburgs, but the diamond
entirely disappeared; they have no re-
semblance to Brown Leghorns in color,
and look like an entire different breed
of chickens, either Hamburg or Leg
horn.
In 1906 1 bred a Silver Spangled
Hamburg cock on two Brown Leg
horn hens and raised but one pullet.
She is marked just like the Hamburgs;
has a single comb. The beautiful dia-
mond of the Hamburg is ruined and

QUEER WEDDING PRESENTS

The death of Bidel, the lion tanner,
has revived numbers of anecdotes of
his career, for during all his seventy
years Bidel, whose father kept a me-
nagerie before him, led a life of adven-
ture. Just after his marriage he set
up for himself.
1--WE spent our honeymoon at Lyons"
he used to say, land we had some
queer wedding presents from the ordi-
nary point of view, as all my fathers
friends were anxious to give me some
thing useful Among other gifts were
three boa constructors and five alligat-
ors. 1 shall never forget how annoyed
was, and how frightened my wife
was, when during the night two of the
alligators broke out of their boxes in
the bedroom and began exploring. L
could not find the candle or the
matches, and my wife and l remained
on the top of the bed canopy until
morning. Luckily, my wife did not
think of the thing that was worrying
me. 1 was deadly afraid that the alli-
gators would wake up the boa con-

NOT WILLING TO
TAKE BURDICK' NO
PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS IN.
SYST THAT HE SHALL RUN
FOR LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR.

Grand Forks, N. D., April 14.-Even
In the face of the positive announce
ment by Usher l.. Burdick that he will
absolutely refuse to be a candidate for
congress, lieutenant governor, or any
thing else this year, progressive repub-
iican leaders are insisting that he
stand for the lieutenant governorship
and they are even now laying plans to
push his campaign
They declare that he cannot refuse
to be a candidate for the position. as
it Is important to gain control of the
upper branch of the legislative assem-
bly,, which they believe can best be
done by having the right presiding
officer.
At a recent conference of progress
sive republicans, held in this city inn
mediately following Mr.. Burdick's an
.nouncement that he did not propose
to be a candidate, It was decided to
take active steps towards keeping him
in the race. The progressives are sim
cere in the belief that he will make
a strong candidate because of his rec
ord as speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives of the last legislative assem-
bly,, and also because there is general
demand among the insurgents over the
state that he stand for the place.
just in what light Mr.. Burdick looks
upon this EFFORT of the insurgents to
keep him in the race is uncertain, but
is 1t probable he will agree to make the
race. In his statement Of withdrawal
he said it was largely because OF the
great cost involved that he had de-
cided to retire.

BEGAN LIFE IN
BLACK HILLS
THOMAS r. WALSH, THE LATE
MULTI MILLIONAIRE, LAID
FOUNDATION OF FOR
TUNE IN so. OAK.

Deadwood, April 14--It was in the
Black Hills, within ten miles Of Dead
wood, that the late Thomas F. Walsh
of Colorado, the multi millionaire, laid
the foundations for his great wealth.
Mr.. Walsh came to the hills overland
from Cheyenne in 1878 having numer-
Gus adventures with Indians on the
road. and arrived at Custer City, where
shortly afterward the Indians stamped
ed the ponies of the party.
A few months later Walsh came to
Deadwood and then went to the Two
Bit district near here where he start :
ed as a mine carpenter and made his
home. He was then a poor man and
worked at his trade by the day Walsh
became associated with the late JIM
mic O'Connell in some prospects and
together they developed as their small
means would allow, the Anchor Hill
mine in that section.
Two years later Walsh sold out his
interest in the property, receiving a
few thousand dollars, and returned to
Colorado where he invested in mines
that gave him his great wealth The
old cabin that Walsh used for a home
while in Galena, is still standing aud
only year or so ago, the kit Of car
penters tools that he used at his work
here, was forwarded by friends to him
In Colorado. He always expressed
great love for the Hills and has for
many years been in communication by
letter with some of the old timers he
knew in the 7o's. promising, when he
could spare the time, to revisit the
scenes OF his early life here

MUST PAY HIGH
FOR ND. HAY Land
NORTH DAKOTA FARM RS FIND
THAT RENTALS ARE RAPIDLY
INCREASING. -.

wahpeton, N. D., April 14.-North
Dakota realty Is growing valuable be-
yond the expectations Of the most OPP
timistic. This was demonstrated at
the annual leasing Of county school
lands held in this city. and is but a
repetition of the leasing held in most
Of the counties of the entire state.
The four quarter sections in this
county subject to the leasing privi-
leges brought S135 a quarter as rental
for the coming year, and the farmers
leasing such land have the privilege
of the hay crop only. II means that
S134 was paid for the hay crop.
Five years ago the county found 1t
dificult to lease the land at an annual
rental OF SIS a quarter section. as the
farmers did not feel that the hay priv
ilege was worth that much.
