We have been noticing the farm
flocks about the country. At nearly
every farm house the number of cock
erels running around, cockerels old
enough to make good fries and show
ing no signs of ever becoming show
birds, was surprising. OCCASIONALLY
q pullet with q broken down appear
ance would half creep, half run to
shelter-a victim of premature atten-
ton from old or young males; the
broody hen off for her feed, or with
a family of chicks trailing after her
would give q squack of alarm when
set upon by several lusty males, and
half grown chicks would eat as if
scared for their lives that the older
birds should discover that they had
found a bite.
This is such a mistake. Undoubt-
eddy the best way is to separate the
sexes before the cockerels reach the
troublesome age, but this is not always
practical on the farm. The man who
has not enough yards to separate his
growing stock should not try to
keep males for sale as breeders. He
sacrifices more on the pullets than he
gains on the cockerels. and he loses
the price of the feed from the time
the birds are of marketable size until
they are sold, nine times out of ten.
Farmers guard against being over
stocked in every department but
poultry; they recognize the difference
between fat stock and stock for fatten-
ing, but they have not accustomed
themselves to thinking of chickens as
being either breeders or meat and to
caring for the breeding birds in way
to make them the best producers and
for the market or meat birds with the
object of turning them off quickly
when in the best market condition.
From fifteen to twenty-five cents a
pound for two pound bird is better
than ten to twenty cents for three
pound or older bird. The time when
the farm chickens are making this in
creased growth is the busiest time on
the farm. There is extra work inside
and out; fruit to be canned, men to
cook for, sewing to be done in the
house, harvesting and threshing out
side. Chickens will live without
much attention thorough months, but
they cannot do their best and their
number should be reduced just as
quickly As they can be sold with q
good margin of profit rather than held
until the harm that has been done by
over crowding on the range and in the
house shows q balance on the wrong
side of the ledger. 1t does give one
comfortable feeling to market q
wagon load Of chickens and receive q
good sized check, but we believe on
the farm where house room is limited,
and it is an object to get the pullets
to laying early that the sooner the
cockerels are disposed of the better.
We might not want to eat the pound
and a half or two pound fry, but
that is the size the consumer calls for
and will pay most for, 50 get rid of
them quickly.-Wallaces' Farmer.

MISBRANDED
GOODS SEIZED
PURE FOOD AND DRUG BUREAU
MAKE SEVERAL AR.
RESTS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct 21.-Dr
Harvey M. Wiley, of pure food fame
was heard from in Nashville Thurs.
day, when DR.. Louis Marks, OF the
Nashville Office of the United States
pure food and drug bureau took
charge of twenty-nine cases of "Bour-
bon brand Maraschino cherries"
which had been shipped to a promi-
nent grocery firm of Nashville by the
Cincinnati Extract Works. 1t is al
legged that the pure food and drug act
has been violated in that the cherries
are misbranded. The cause for the
seizure, it is understood, is that the
cherries have been branded as packed
in liquor called marascbino, when, ac-
cording to DR.. Marks, the liquor is ar
tifcial, and not genuine marascnino.
The cherries have been stored I'M
der the supervision of the United
States pending further action in the
case.

NEVER A DIVORCE
VASSAR'S BOAST

POUGHKEEPSIE, Oct. 21.-That
the womens colleges of America, with
the traing which they give are doing
much to eliminate the divorce evil
may be judged from the fact that the
regards of Vassar show that net a
graduate of that institution has ever
figured in divorce suit.
Age is a big factor Here at
Vassar no girl is received as a stu
dent who is not at least eighteen
years old. The college course is four
years. Sometimes a girl requires
five years. The average age OF our
graduates is twenty-four years. My
shows that most of the
divorces concern women who have
married young"
