BANTAMs NEED GREAT CARE.
warmth IL One Necessity for Health
of Little Fellows.

This month is important 70 the bantam
breeder. The early part OF May sees many
champion midgets make their appearance.
and though some owners go In for earlier
breeding. many OF the big winners are
Matched now. In general management they
require the same treatment us the larger
varieties. only in much less liberal form.
The parent stock can be fed much on the
same lines as ordinary birds. but in much
less quantities. and If possible the bantam
should have a grass run. Experience and
observation will do more In this direction
than any amount OF theory, and to be
successful one must study the habits OF
each individual specimen or variety.
When the chicks are Matched. the young
sters are generally more lively than those
from the larger varieties and prove In
teresting to follow. One great point in
rearing them is TO give them as good a
start as possible. Warmth IL great
thing for them and for the first two weeks
they cannot have too much OF this For
the first week. at least, they are as well
kept In a pen in an exhibition house. or II
this Is not available their coop should be
placed under shed. where they can be
sheltered from cold winds and where rain
cannot touch them. Generally speaking.
they ara not easy to rear, but q good start
means a lot. and so extra care and atten-
ton should be- exercised for the first two
weeks Of their existence. Feed little and
often, and give them plenty OF fresh egg
food, with now and then bread and milk
md other cereals.

After the young gosllngs are Matched,
and there will be good many out this
month. they can be fed a good deal like
turkeys. and will eat almost any quantity
OF green food. This forms g. great portion
of their diet. and II run on till six or
seven weeks old they can be allowed the
whole field. and will seldom need much
other food except when being prepared for
show purposes. and then they can be freely
fed with any OF the sound. sweet meals
and wheat put into vessel of water.
Turkeys will become plentiful before
May is out. and given fair weather need
little more than ordinary care. They Will
do far better when kept away from other
fowls, and where convenient, reared on a
piece OF fresh ground. The coop should
be shifted frequently. II the sun becomes

WATERGLASS IS BEST.

EGGS are now plentiful and cheap. and
II Is the time TO preserve a number for

methods OF preservation but waterglass Is
undoubtedly the best medium. and entails
little trouble In preparation. All that Is
required Is that II should be mixed with
n certain amount OF water. according to

then ready for receiving the eggs.
Clean barrels for large quantities, or
earthenware Jars for small lots. are suit

Waterglass can now be obtained cheaply
from poultry supply dealers, and a small
amount will preserve a large quantity.

STATE BOARD REPORTS
ON HOOK WORM IN TEXAS
Twenty-eight Per Cent. Of Per-

HousroN, Tex. May l6.--rhe hookworm
commission OF the Texas State Board OF
Health has finished the investigation sur
veys OF thirty counties OF the State. There
are yet about forty counties in which this
disease Is known 10 be quite prevalent
and In which free county dispensaries
must be held and health campaigns should
be conducted.
Up to the present time practically all
the field investigating has been confined
10 southeast Texas. In that section Of
the State 27.54s square miles have been
covered. and among total general rural
population OF $4,000 people $4,000 per-
sons. or one-twelfth OF the population.
have been examined for hookworm. OF
the total number examined 2S per cent.
were found to be sufferers and were
treated. Hookworn is found more often
among children. In the thirty completed
counties there are approximately 10000
school children. and OF these $4,000 have
been examined at the hookworm dspen-
saries. or the $4,000 school children ex-
amined 80 per cent were found to have

of 27.542 square miles moro than three
quarters OF a million people have been

700 POUNDS OF GRAIN BY MAIL.
Montana stage Driver Has Mig Par
Gel Post Job on Hand.

LIVINGSTON, Mon, May l6.--One OF the
biggest problems ever confronted w the
stage driver who runs from Gardiner 10
Cooke City was that which he met when a
shipment of 700 pounds Of oats and wheat
was received there from this city.
Tho grain was shipped by Miles Bros.
grain dealers. to NIL an order received
from the mining camp. The postage was
s1.0s per hundred. or total OF 1856, and,
az the roads are absolutely impossible
with IA load from Gardiner to Cooke. the
mail carrier will have TO usc-pack horses
To make the trip. The distance is sixty
five miles and II Is estimated that tho
mail carrier win have to pay out at least
s?5 to haul the load,
The local post office authorities figure
that IL similar shipments OF grain are re-
pestedly sent to Cooke. and this Is by far
the cheapest way to send them, the rail-
road to Cooke may come as an indirect
result. as all that has hindered its build
ing for years has been the fact that no
permit could be secured from the Govern
mont to 80 through Yellowstone PARK.

The dry mash Is kept In hoppers and

lawn clippings arc freely fed to hens and
chicks. Sprouted oats are made some use
OF. but not to the extent as on many plants

these hens are ON bare yards and every
particle OF food Is supplied by the owner.
Tho chicks are transferred from the In
cubators TO the portable brooders when
thoroughly dry. They lind a water foun-
tain really filled. but are given no food for
twenty-four hours. when rolled oats and
grit are fed on a board. After feeding this
for day or two. commercial feed Is
usually given. Wheat bran IL supplied
after the third day. with beef scrap after
the seventh day. Finely sifted oyster shell
Ia made considerable use Of ia the mash

When the chicks begin TO make rapid
growth they get wide open hopper OF
mash--two parts by weight OF wheat bran
and one part OF cornmeal. The little
chicks get "a steady feeding OF fine cu'

ORPINGTON IS KNOWN
THROUGHOUT WORLD
Breed Originated in Kent 28
Years Ago Has Won
Success.
ny EDWIN MEGARGEH.

The late william Cook OF Orpington.
Kent. England. originated the Orpington
fowl In 1886. In producing such a grand
breed he provided a monument to his
memory which will long endure Ho
aimed to produce fowls which would
prove to be good winter layers of brown
eggs. excellent table poultry. having
handsome appearance. easy TO breed. the
chicks of which would grow rapidly and
feather quickly.
That he succeeded can be testified BY
thousands OF breeders of Orpingtons in
all parts of the world. Few breeds have
ever won such widespread popularity.
The black variety was first produced.
followed at intervals by the other MEM
bers of the family. White orpngtons. tho
subject OF this brief sketch. may have
originated as sports from the blacks
Some poultrymen seem to think that
combination of the blood of the White
Leghorn. White Dorking and Black Ham,
burg was used. But regardless OF its
exact parentage the variety Is IL mighty
good one and IL greatly priced by fanciers
and utility poultrymen alike.
The typical Orpngton Is rather
short legged. large bodied fowl The
body Is broad and deep, the breast round
and full. carried well forward, having a
long. even breastbone. The wings are OF
body. Tho head Is neat. supported on
gracefully curved. strong neck The
Thighs are short, stout and meaty. Thus
tho general appearance is that OF
chunky compact, "cobby" fowl.
That the Orpngton is grand general
| purpose fowl Is universally acknowledged.
| Tho most serious objection to II ia
America lies in the fact that II has white
shanks and skin. while our markets de-
| mand yellow. But regardless of this local
| prejudice, Orpingtons are now finding
ready sale In our best markets because
Of the really superior quality OF their
| flesh, which Is tender and of fine flavor.
| Orpington weights are slightly greater
| than those OF our Plymouth Rocks. Cocks
should scale 10 pounds cockerels, So
hens, s (. pullets, 2.
| In the White Orpngton the plumage
should be pure white In all sections. In
| fact. any foreign color disqualifes the
specimen In the show room. Eyes, face.
comb and wattles are bright red. Bill.
shanks and toes, white or pinkish white.
| While the White Orpington is not as
popular in Europe as some OF the other
varieties OF the breed. 1t has been more
generally bred In America than tho
| others. due to our preference for white
fowls. II enjoyed great boom for sJne
time and superior specimens sold for long
| prices. In fact. one pen Of five birds Is
said TO have brought the sum Of $1,000.
In the hands OF American poultrymen
tho breed has made good. True 10 the
aim OF It's originator. Il has proved hardy
and productive. The hens average we'll
as producers Of brown shelled eggs of
fair size and are wonderfully efficient
| sitters and mothers. Adults and young
sters dress or splendi6ly, making table
carcasses which are attractive In con-
formation and carry very large amount

What this man has done others can
do. Sideline poultry keeping can be
profitably taken up by more folks that
have the inclination. Not every one has
the mental makeup necessary to success
under the conditions that faced this bust
ness man. No one knows whether or
not lie can succeed with poultry until he
has tried II out. IL is no disgrace to fail
In poultry keeping any more than In any
