Excellent Poultry Hints.

Here are few hints to those who are in the business of raising market poultry: Market the roosters sepa- rately. Aim to attract the eye of the buyer. Have regular market days. Try to build up reputation for prime stock Grow bone and muscle first, and then fatten. Big combed broilers are apt to be wrongly classified in market Always notify your commis- sion merchant before shipping. Young fowls shipped with old stock will com mand old stock prices. Poultry should be killed the day before marketing when going direct to the consumer. Do not mix whiteskinned chickens In the same shipment with yellow skinned ones. Have tag fastened on each fowl you send to market. It Is the best way to advertise your stock.

Care of Goose Feathers.

I take great care in killing not to allow the feathers to become bloody or otherwise soiled. The geese are picked in a closed room out of all drafts, the feathers placed in deep boxes or barrels, says a writer in an exchange Later they are place in thin sacks and hung out in the air for a number of days. In case the geese are scalded the feathers are spread out on sheet or blanket in an up- stairs room, over register if pos sible, until dry. They will dry sur prisingly quick. and if stirred occa- sionally while drying will be as light and fluffy as though they never were wet. Wing, tail and other coarse feathers are discarded as plucked. l find ready sale for my feathers around home at 50 to 60 cents a pound.

EGGS WHEN PRICE IS HIGH
Secret of Production Is to Take Care of Growing Stock-Look Out for
 Sore Head and Roup.
(By J. NJ. PARK.)

NBy J. M. PARK9
 we are going to tell you the secret or producing those high priced eggs. It IS, Take care of your growing stock during this third quarter of the game. Many people, when they get chick grown 10 two pounds, assume that 1t IS grown and can be left to hustle for itself, and though conditions are not the most favorable, still its a husky chick and will get through somehow, even though 1t be watered and fed lrregularly. its coop be allowed to get wet and nayer .clea s>,,, Then the chicks get the sore head, first thing you know, and if t ey don't die of neg feet a month is taken out of the chicks development; then if not we'll cared for, another month or six weeks Will be lost with roup in early fall, with the result that the cold weather comes on and catches the chicks not nearly matured, and as thin as the pro- verbal "Job's turkey" and when this happens the poultryman will be fortu- nate indeed if he gets his bullets to laying by January, when the best prices will be past, and eggs started on the downward trend. They by March these bullets will be laying fine, but their eggs will be taken to an oversupplied and cheap market.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY LICE
and One Would Better Look for Trouble-Watch for Insects.
fBy EMMA STACEY.)

tBy EMMA SIA1E1.) J
 Should you enter the poultry yard and find chick asleep instead of at work, you would better look for the trouble, and without doubt you will discover the lice; or if the chicks do not grow as you think they should look for the trouble. It may be the same old lice. When the chicks are matched it is an excellent plan to grease the head and under the wings with pure lard-not enough to chill the chicks Many have found to their sorrow that various mixtures of coal oil, vaseline and insect powder will kill the chicks as well as the insects. The yards and houses must be clean at all times through the hot months, or you can't keep the lice away, and lice and success do not go the same way Paint the brood coops, the nest boxes and the roosts; indeed, every thing but the chickens should get a washing of the mixture. There is no worse drawback to the poultry busi- ness than lice and other insects which render the life of the fowl most miser- able.

spray the upper part of a hog and leave the under side untouched, be- cause every louse will multiply and soon spread all over the animals body.
 After the hogs have been dipped or sprayed they should be turned into a slean lot that has never been used for hogs and the old quarters should be abandoned, or If this Is not practice able, every particle of bedding and litter in the yards must be raked, swept up and burned, and every foot of ground in the yards and the fences and sleeping quarters, as we'll thor oughly sprayed with a strong disin- fectant.
 Kerosene emulsion, which is cheap, can be used in this way to advantage.
 The hogs should not be returned to the old quarters for several weeks, and second spraying or even a third be- visable.
 If the hogs are allowed to occupy the same pens and sleeping quarters year after year, which are not fre- quently cleaned and sprayed as above suggested, lice will surely get into the herd.
 As this parasite multiplies with tre- mendous rapidity it only takes a short time to thoroughly infest hogs so that their thrift will be impeded.
 Tho hog lousa affects no other ami mal, but devotes his entire time and attention to the swine While he is quite tenacious in the efforts to live, still a moderate application of dips and sprays and the burning of old bedding and wkitewashing of the in teriors of sleeping quarters will quick ly put hirs out of business.

PROTEST MADE
 AGAINST HUNTER
No Reason Why Farmer Should be Expected to Tolerate Band of Trespa ssers Every
 Fall.
(By BESSIE l.. PUTNAM

A few years ago when the pioneers along the line commenced to object to the depredations of the hunter, they were charged by hunter and surround ing farmers alike as stingy and un- accommodating But more and more is there a growing sentiment against having ones farm used as a hunting ground.
 At this season 1t is very easy to start a fire, very difficult to check one that has once commenced, Even though the majority of hunters are careful never to toss aside a lighted cigar, never to strike matches in im- proper places, one never knows when the careless one may come along and do untold mischief.
 There is the annoyance to stock. The old saying, "One might as well be killed as scared to death" Is ap- plicable with peculiar force. Sheep, worried by hunter and dogs. soon be- come so wild that not even the owner can approach them readily.
 Cattle have been known to stam- peed when a gun was fired in close proximity. Such treatment is ruinous to the dairyman to say nothing of the frequent accidents, when valuable animal is sacrificed. the hunter mak- ing off with his game and leaving the owner of the land that much poorer for his generosity.
 Finally, the game is rapidly being exterminated, and much of it is really the farmers friend. The quail. the clear note of which fills all bird lov- CTS with joy, is one of the best insect and weed destroyers.
 A flock of quail in the potato patch renders the use of Paris green un- necessary, and the detested cut-worm is their favorite dessert
 The farmer feeds the world" but there is no reason why he should be expected to tolerate band of tres passers every fall. endangering the life of his possessions. In many com munities farmers are banding togeth- CT against the hunting nuisance.

POUITPYNOTES
(NWSeNs 43 3aau2

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise are the best poultry tonics.
 The natural time for hen to lay is from February to October.
 Air-slacked lime is a valuable dis infeetant in the poultry house.
 From now on until next spring the hens should be supplied with a dust box.
 Oyster shells is the best food with which the hens can manufacture egg shells.
 Ducks have become one of the best paying propositions in the poultry in- dustry.
 The germ of disease must be de- stroyed before the disease can be eliminated
 The necessity for fresh air has led to the great popularity of the open front houses.
 Eggs and fowls used in the home should be credited at market prices. This is only fair.
 Plenty of exercise and plenty of good fresh air are necessary for the health of the flock.
 There are many waste products that could be turned to use as poul- try food in every garden.
 Many a woman makes a greater success with poultry than her husband does with the work of his farm.
 If good hens do not lay, the fault is probably with the care taking. With the right kind of care and feed they are sure to yield well.
 A pen of a hundred good laying hens will produce enough eggs to sup ply the sugar and coffee of an ordi- nary family, besides supplying the home table.
 A hen, pig, steer, cow-any Of our meat-producing or milk-producing animals. are of value to the farmer only in proportion to their digestive and assimilative powers.
 Growing ducklings thrive best on a feed composed of equal parts. by meas ure. of cornmeal, ground peas, bran and middlings, all made into thick mash. either with scalding hot water or milk, the latter being the best. The mash is improved by adding shortcut green grass, clover or some other green stuff, and a few handfals or l coarse sand.

Not long ago in looking over a observed that most of the animals were afflicted with little sores, red spots, on the thin places in their skins.
 These eruptions were particularly noticeable back of the ear and on the his hogs were not eating well and he could not understand what caused the sores to break out.
 This bunch of hogs of all ages, from three-months-old pigs to three-year-old sows, ran on pasture during the day but at night slept in houses which were used for the winter quarters.
 l suggested that the trouble might be caused by lice, and the farmer caught two or three pigs and found them almost alive with parasites. He was astonished and admitted that he had never examined one of his ani- mals before.
 Many farmers do not realize that lice are source of tremendous loss in the raising of hogs. They worry the animals and prevent their feeding we'll, and in many cases produce sores or eruptions which naturally retard growth.
 It is not difficult to rid the pig of lice by dipping or spraying, but these remedies are of no use unless the pens and sleeping quarters are rid of the lice as well.
 The best dip to use is some of the tar solutions, as they are harmless. We do not believe in kerosene emul- sion because unless great care is talk en to keep the solution very weak the animals will blister if allowed to run in the hot sun after being sprayed.
 When a bunch of hogs is badly in- fested the animals should be dipped, although spraying may be used, pro- vided the hogs are tied and thrown so that the spray may cover every portion of the body. It is no use to

City of MeXico.-A conspiracy to nssassinate President Madero and proclaim a provisional presidency pending the coming of Gen Reyes to the capital to assume the office of president has been frustrated at the last moment, in the opinion of the au- thorities by the arrest of Generals Hi ginio Aguillar and Melton Hurtado of the federal army and score of co- conspirators.
 The plan, said to have been learned of from correspondence and docu- ments found in the possession of pris- oners, was complete in details. Ma dero was to have been shot from a balcony of the Reforma hotel, in Avenida de la Reforma, as he rode from Chapultepee.
 During the confusion which this would create the conspirators, who called themselves the independent constitutional army" were to swoop down upon the national palace, kill or seize the ministers and take posses sion in the name of Reyes.
 Upon assumption of power by Reyes all Maderistas and Cientificos, it is asserted, were to be eliminated from the government and their property conflscated, with that of all the wealthy class not in sympathy with the movement.
