banks in these cities will close at
noon on this day in order to let the
employees attend. The joliification is
to be an entirely stag affair and is to
start from here on Captain James Pier
sons new boat. At Rock Island and
Davenport the rest of the banking
population in the tri-cities will be
picked up. The boat will continue on
to Linwood, where it will tie up to
game and to eat supper. Illinois,
as represented by Moline and Rock
Island, will battle against Iowa, as
represented by Davenport, in the ball
game. Other special features, like a
tug of war and racing, will also be
fought out by the two states. An or
chestra is to be carried on the trip.
After the supper. the return will be
made by moonlight.
Deere Picnic July 2e.-July 26 is
the date set for the Deere & Co. pic
mic. The affair is given for all the
employees and their families and usual
ly about 10000 people attend. The
event has taken place at Campbeli's
island in other years and indications
are that it will this year. Commit
tees have been placed in charge of
various branches of the preparatory
work. While it is still early, the plans
are gradually shaping themselves into
something definite and arrangements
will soon be announced.

POULTRY CULTURE

Range-The old method of free
range need not necessarily be chang
ed. The fowls should not, however,
be allowed to run at will within the
garden or in and about the farm
buildings. Nothing is more aggravat-
ing or disgusting than to have the
nice vegetables or beautiful flowers
scratched up. and the doorsteps, the
porch, the barn floor, and the farm
machines fouled with poultry drop
pings. Separate the poultry also
from the other live stock of the farm.
This is easily accomplished when I'M
dertaken in businesslike manner.
If the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
enclosed by modern poultry wire fenc-
ing. The later requires ordinarily
but a few posts, is easily put up and
has very neat appearance when in
position.
Colony Plan.-Ahother way of sep.
arating the fowls from the center of
farm operations is to place the hen
houses at a considerable distance
from the farmstead, in a pasture
where the fowls will have absolute
range. The latter plan may entail
some extra travel by the poultryman
and there is the risk in some localities,
of depredations by foxes, hawks or
other wild animals or by thieves
The young, strong farmer boy may
find advantage in the second or so
called colony plan" while the house
wife will probably prefer the fenced
enclosure near the farm house.
Marketing-Thirdly the farmer is
far too careless in the way he dis
poses of his poultry products. He is
usually content to trade his eggs at
the nearest grocery store when by a
little extra effort he could gain a
far better. His pure bred stock of
one breed of fowls in their we'll kept
house and capacious grassy yards will
be great advertisement for his egg
products and uniform clean appear
ance of the eggs in their attractive
package will prove an additional help
in making sales.
Dressed Fowls-Then too in dis
posing of his fowls the farmer often
sells the birds alive when by carefully
dressing them on the farm and selling
to his customers on orders he could
secure far better prices.
Market Supply.-The idea of special
poultry farm on large scale is ex-
tending and large poultry plants are
being freely established, but the great
bulk of poultry products for the mar
ket will continue to come from the
numberless small fiocks scattered
throughout the country upon the
farms and in the villages.
1t should be the purpose of the
farmer to make poultry. as a part of
his farm stock, play its full part in
the economy of the farm and render
its full share of profit instead of be-
ing merely an appendage as it is now
! generally considered.
Special Business-The cd style of
| general farming was based upon the
| idea Of producing on the farm itself,
! as fully as possible, ali the supplies
required for use by the farm and its
inhabitants. This plan has given way
in modern times 20 the idea of diver.
| sification and specialization in the
other callings and professions of men
