FATTEN FOWLS FOR MARKET
Maine Experiment Station Finds That
Small Pens Give as Great
Gains as Latticed Coops.

The Maine experiment station in
series of experiments in feeding
cockerels for market has demonstrat-
ed that as great gains have been OBJ
tanned as cheaply. counting labor,
cost of feed, etc., by feeding in small,
pens as where birds are fed in lat
ticed coops holding but four to six
birds. The pens had a roosting coop
connected with them. Four weeks
was found to be the extreme limit of
profitable feeding, either in coops or
f1ocks The birds should be under
four months of age to give the great
est profit for feed consumed. The
sooner they are fattened after eight
weeks Of age. the greater the gain
per pound of food consumed. The
meat of pen-fed chick is quite diff
ferent from that of corn-fed chick
on free range. The former is soft
fieshed, and evenly fatted, while the
latter is tough-muscled, stringy, with
more abdominal fat, and with but
little fat distributed throughout the
flesh of the body Milk-fed chickens
are superior to any other kind. The
dairy farmer is particularly fitted for
producing this class of chicken flesh
Eight pounds of skim milk were used
with each pound of grain; this was
considered good proportion.

CARE OF DucKLINGs
Hen Should Be Confined Until Young
sters Reach Age When They Can
Be Left unbrooded at Night.

If ducklings are to be raised with
hens, it is necessary to confine the
hen until the ducklings have reached
an age when they can safely be left
unbrooded at night. In very few
days the ducklings will wean them
selves by refusing to follow the old
hens persuasive clucks; at first she
follows them, but soon. growing
weary Of this, she takes up with the
flock, and the ducklings become
stunted from lack of brooding at
night. Have a roomy, bottomiess
coop, with a good roof, covered with
broad mesh poultry netting or Stat
ted in front, Move the coop to fresh
grass each day. The wire front
should come clear to. or very. near
the ground, as the ducks are apt to
sprain their legs in climbing over a
board to get in the coop.
When the ducklings are old enough
to be weaned, try and get shem to
take up with the older ducks

BLACKMAILING MUST BE ART
Amateur Makes Mistake When He
Seeks to Make Money in Such
an Avocaticn.

Police Commissioner Waldo of New
York was talking about blackmailers.
They are. as a rule, stupid" he
said. Their threatening letters are
as ludicrous in their stupidity as a
lettena friend of mine received the
other day"
And Commissioner Waldo, with a
laugh, produced the letter. Written
in large, boyish hand, it said:
Deer sir-Your winder was brok-
en- by bad boi wat throo it throo
four thee pirpus. The ball belonged

Clean UP the poultry yard.
Sow patch of cowpeas near the
poultry yard.
1t is q mistake to try to keep more
than one variety Of chickens.
If the hens lay soft-shelled eggs,
1t is sign they need some lime and
green food.
Always save the young ducks that
make the best growth for next sea-
sons breeders.
Select the breeders carefully from
the best matured fowls and those that
lay most freely.
When only few fowls are to be
sold. the home market is usually the
most satisfactory.
The hens that are laying freely
need an abundance Of good. clean
water at all times.
A warm. dry board floor that can
be easily cleaned is the right place
to keep the chicks.
Kerosene Is a great disinfectant to
be used in the roosts and nests. It
is cheap and effective.
Milk is a splendid feed to force
young chicks or stimulate hens to
greater egg production.
Hens for incubation should be of
quiet disposition and on friendly
terms with their keeper.
Late chicks should always have a
shady place away from the older ones
and at some distance from the fowls.
If the old tom turkeys are cross
and seem inclined to attack the young
ones. the former should be placed in
yards.
Keep the drinking vessels in the
shade these hot days. Even then 1t
will be necessary to renew the supply
Of water often.
Do not try to force nature. In Mt
ting young fries for the market give
the chicks proper food. freedom from,
lice and nature viii do the rest

NOTHING Doino but Talk.

The following is told of a federal
Official. formerly a senator Of the
United States from Kentucky.
In the days of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by friend to sec
ond him in duel He consented. and
at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place. ~
Now it was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the
terms of the duel. But, although he
faithfully performed this duty. the
duel never took place.
A murmur of why not?" invariably
goes round whenever this story is
told. whereupon the answer is as fol-
lows:
For very simple reason. When
Joe finished speaking it was too dark
for duel. Chicago Journal.

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and
Opened the Eyes Of the Family.

"A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"a package Of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
II notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning / prepared some of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
1T was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and | would have mutiny
on my hands should I omit the be-
loved beverage.
my husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily ! wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first. but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
new woman, thanks to Postum"
