FRICK OUT OF U. r. BOARD

The retirement of Henry Clay Frick
from the directorate OF the Union Pa
cific Railroad company, was recently
announced. His friends assert he felt
it was not in keeping with the spirit
of the times for a director in one rail-
road to have an influential voice In the
affairs of an active competitor. He
has very large holdings in the Atch.
ison, Topeka and Santa Fee.
Henry Clay Frick's career and ma
terial success is closely interviewer
with the history of the steel and iron
industry. He was one of Andrew Car.

AS a rule fowls kept in confinement
food and fed the necessary foods-those
containing the most elements that go
to make up an egg-naturally Will lay
a larper per cent Of eggs than fowls
that have a free range, as the birds on
free range often fill themselves up on
food that has no egg producing mate
rial to complete the egg, and therefore
cannot lay as many eggs as birds that
are supplied with plenty Of proper

The heaviest egg records that have
ever been known have always been
made by hens kept in confinement and
fed the proper foods to produce these
eggs. About IS per cent of the egg is
composed of water, and 1t will readily
be seen that this plays a very import
ant part in the keeping of fowls.
They should be made to take plenty
of exercise gradually, which viii make
them more thirsty, or fed bulky foods
that will make them drink lots Of wa

and fat-forming materials than Kaffir
meal, corn or cornmeal. Cowpeas were
digested reasonably well and are de-
sirable feed for growing chickens and
hens. But little gain in digestibility
was secured by grinding the cowpeas.
The reason that cowpeas are good for
laying hens is that they contain about
two and one-half times as much nitro
genous matter as corn or Kaffir corn.
The production of eggs requires a food
that Is rich in nitrogen. For this pur-
pose, meat scraps and similar mate
rails are fed.-M. K Boyer, Harmon
ton, N. Y.
Professor John Yields says II is
probable that soy beans would be bet
ter for growing for poultry food than
cowpeas. They give a greater yield of
grain, and are of very similar compo-
sition and feeding value.

PIGEONS.


AS I find there is considerable in
terest being shown in pigeons over the
south, both for fancy and for market,
/ think this Will eventually be very
profitable industry in connection with
the poultry business.
If one wishes pigeons for market and
for his own consumption it is, of course,
best to select the varieties that are
medium in size, and something that
will develop a full broad breast, as
usually that is the part of the SQUAD
that is mostly eaten, and one that Will
make the roundest and plumpest breast
in the shortest length of time will nat
urally be the most profitable to select.
The Exhibition Shaw Homer makes
an extra large SQUAD. The Craneaux
and the California Runt and White
Kings also make large squads. They
probably do not breed quite as fast as
the medium size squad breeding HON.
ers. This latter variety Is more large
ly bred than any for, market SQUADS,
as they are usually more prolific, be-
ing very active and are good feeders.
Their squads, for market purposes,
usually bring 60 cents per pair to the
clubs and. better class hotels, and the
larger squads of the first named va
rieties usually bring 81 to $1.2Q per
pair They do not breed quite so fast,
and, unless they have extra good care
and attention, do not round out as
quickly as do the smaller variety OF
Homers, but either of these will be
profitable.
There are a great many fancy va
rieties of pigeons, and 1t is a real
pleasure to see a large flock OF rancy
pigeons, and it is greater pleasure for
a breeder to produce a first class show
bird in any of the varieties of pigeons.
For pleasure 1 do not know of any
thing that is more interesting than a
nice flock of pigeons.
If you have al mated pairs, you can
keep as many varieties as you desire
in the same fly and they will not cross,
but one odd bird among flock Will
cause a lot of trouble and is likely to
break up every pair in the fly. Pigeons
like a place to sun themselves In; also
a lar~a tub of water to battle in. They
should be fed twice per day, the same
as you would chickens-their feed
being chiefly wheat, peas, cracked corn,
hemp seed, Kaffir corn and sorghum
seed. They should have salt kept be-
fore them at all times, such as salt cat
or health grit, two preparations made
especially for pigeons. They raise their
own young, and a great many can pc
kept in a small space and made very
profitable in connection with the poul-
cry business.-By Loring Brown.
