Methods Of Feeding Fowls.

Fowls should have empty crops in
the morning and the crops should
never be quite full until it is time to
go to roost at night. For the first
feed, grain scattered in the litter early
in the morning is preferred, the sooner
the better after the birds leave the
roosts. This induces them to exercise,
which is especially important on cold
winter mornings. In the middle of the
day a warm, moistened mash should
be given, about what they will eat
within Is to 20 minutes, and at night,
about an hour before they go to roost,
a liberal feed Of grain should be scat
tered in the litter.

CHICKENS
D(QKS5f1d
TURKEYS
h
FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Ample Room May BE Provided With
Assistance Of Modern Wire Fen
cling and Few Posts.

The old method Of free range need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not however be allowed
TO run at will within the garden or In
and about the farm buildings. Moth.
ing is more aggravating or disgust.
ing 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 droppings. Separate the
poultry also from the other live stock
Of the farm.
II the fowls are TO be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
enclosed by modern poultry wire
fencing. The latter requires ordi.
narily but a few posts, is easily put
up and has a very neat appearance
when in position.
Another way Of separating the fowls
from the center of farm operations is
to place the hen houses at a consider
able distance from the farmstead. In
a pasture where the fowls will have
absolute range The latter plan may
entail some extra travel by the poul-
tryman and there is the risk In some
localities of deDredations 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
housewife will probably prefer the
fenced enclosure near the farm house.
Thirdly the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes Of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by little extra effort he
could gain select private trade
which would pay far better His pure
bred stock of one breed Of fowls in
their well kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be a great adveT-
tisement for his egg products and uni
form clean appearance Of the eggs in
their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales.
Then, too, in disposing 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.

RESERVED FOR THE EMPEROR
Fish Of Remarkable DeIleaoy Had
Place Only on the Tables Of
the Highest.

Now that China is republic 1t
would be interesting to know what
has become of the sacred fish which
in the days of the empire could be
eaten only by the emperor Of China
and his folk and the emperor OF Rus
STA and his folk.
This fish Is an exquisite delicacy
so delicious and rare that 1t has been
reserved for royal palates from time
immemorial. The fishermen whose
duty 1t was to take 1t from the only
stream In which It has been kpowR to
exist--a small river lying between
Russian and Chinese domains--have
had orders to let none Of il be d.
verted from it's noble destiny. Wheth-
er the fishermen themselves ever
yielded to what one can imagine as
an overmastering passion and In
dulged in a secret midnight repast of
the glorious little fish of course none
can say But certain 1t is that the Or
binary Chinaman would have surned
shudderingly away from a banquet in
which the prohibited fish was an item,
no matter how his mouth watered for
the dainty.
One of the things which makes the
fish such rarity is that 1t breeds only
one at a time, a very extraordinary
condition among fishes.
The Chinese-the mobiles, at least
have been a nation of epicures, and
there are no greater delicacies to be
found anywhere than those which ap.
peared on the tables of the emperor
and his courtiers.
