experience has been limited. Some
hints however given to us by a vet
eran fancier, who has won "irsts"
at the shows in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, and in Scranton may
be worth while passing on. The
man in question, who specializes on
Buff Rocks" told us that his ration
the year round was two parts of
cracked corn. one part of oats, and
one of wheat. He also liked to use
one-half part of buckwheat. If he
could get it. Dry bran is kept be-
fore the chickens all the time. Ger

changing pullets from one pen to
another as hens are very apt to get
a cold or running in the nose at this

In every first-class boarding-house

The rector of the Episcopal Church
of st. Luke and the Epiphany, in
Philadelphia, which is one of the
fashionable congregations of the
Quaker City, according to the Har-
risburg Telegraph, has addressed a
letter to his flock asking them to
please refrain from coughing and
blowing their noses during SER
vices.
He says it annoys the pastor and
the choir. We might add that it is
frequently very annoying to the
cougher or blowee as we'll If the
matter were entirely one of person
al choice, we venture to say that
few persons would adopt coughing
or nose blowing as means of
amusement or recreation.
On the contrary, they are regard
ed in the light of disagreeable du-
ties which must be performed, in
church or out of church, although
it must be admitted that they APP
pear to be rather more zealously at
tended to in church by reason of
their chorus effect.
1t may be, too, that some of ii is
unnecessary or, as the rector re-
marks, unnecessarily boisterous.

EXcels All Other States in the
Poultry and Egg Business.
I'm the last few years Pennsylva-
mia has become one of the greatest
poultry raising states in the country
and thousands of dollars are being
expended for further developing of
the business" said A. l.. Martin,
deputy secretary of agriculture.
81 have been making inquiries
about the remarkable growth. In
other states the growth has attract
ed attention and from figures l have
obtained | think we have passed
New York and some noted poultry
raising states"
Continuing Mr.. Martin said
Reliable estimates show that this
year Pennsylvania will raise more
than 12,000,000 fowls of various
kinds, which is a gain of about O.
100000. This years raising repre-
sents value of between $5,000,000
and $7,000,000.
THE best figures | hiSe been able
to obtain for the egg production in
the state this year show about 75,-
100000 citizens.
THE growth of the poultry rails
ing inudstry has been surprising and
the weather this year has helped
it amazingly so that Pennsylvania
is not only fortunate in raising big
corn and other crops but it is to the
front in agriculture, dairy and poul-
try lines"

Give Bob a Lift.
Now is the time when you can do
your dear good friend a turn that
will not only help him but will be a
benefit to yourself, as well as to
the whole community, for If you let
him starve and die you will be
plagued with bugs and things here
after. And don't you think you
would deserve to be? What ought
mt to happen to any fellow who al
lows his good friends to starve
while he has enough and to spare
of that which they helped him to
get?
Look Bob up. You can easily
find his trail in the snow. Carry
out some sheaves of grain; or if
you haven't any unthreshed take
bundles of straw or hay and make
a corral large enough for the whole
drove. A few rails, or poles laid
against log or something to raise
them a foot or so from the ground.
and covered with straw, will be .

Grain, screenings, ground feed.

sort of grain, will make a feast for
him. At this season of the year the
same as you, he has a special liking
for buckwheat. Can you blame him?
Every boy who knows where there
is a covey of quail should regard it
as a religious duty to see that the
birds are fed every day. Such boys
will be all the better men for doing
this.
A Tender Appeal.
Doesn't the condition of dear
old Bob White appeal to you?" said
true sportsman as he stamped the
snow from his feet.
II was out looking for the covey
that lived up on the hills, but |
couldn't find it. The snow is more
than foot deep up there and drift
ed a good deal, so that the birds
have no chance to get food, and
there is very little shelter.
This appeals to me mighty strong.
Just think how CHEEKY Bob was in
the summer and autumn, how he en-
tertained us, and what a lot he did
for us in his way, and now to suf-
fer for lack of the protection we
owe, and to finally die for the want

which he has a right for having
helped protect it from various pests.
Il wish you would ask the boys.
and the folks generally, to keep an
eye out for Bob, for if they don't
we may not hear his CHEEKY call next
Summer. You see his tribe is grow
ing mighty small in this section
where it used to be so large"
And that's no joke, but true
story with a wholesome tinge of
pathos, and appealing enough to set
every sort of boy or man to
searching for his friends now in the
depths of distress.
Write to Joseph Kalbfus, secretary
of the game commission, for his
