POULTPYNOTHS
(EWx1h ~ 9ao1o ]

Squads that weigh less than eight
ounces seldom sell at a profit.
A healthy pigeon can be known by
plump body and smooth plumage.
Hens lay a few more eggs when
males are not used in the pens with
them.
Nothing makes a cooler cleaner
looking poultry house than the use OF
plenty of whttewash.
Chickens like ensilage, clover. alfal-
ia, beets, potatoes, turnips, cabbage,
or anything of this nature.
The hens must be fed and fed liber-
ally if one expects eggs in large guam
titles, especially winter eggs.
Let other folks do the fancy poul-
try business. You stick to practical
work
It is poor policy to change the quar-
ters of hens or pullets while laying,
for it usually checks or stops egg pro-
duction.
Capons are The most profitable parts
of the chicken business, just as steers
are the most profitable part of the cat
tie industry.
Frequently disinfecting the hen
houses, coops and drink and feed
dishes is likely to save lots OF trouble
from disease.
Good layers are great eaters. A
bird must have capacity to eat and d.
gest a great amount of food if she is
to lay a great amount Of eggs.
The rooets should be built on the
same level, two feet six inches from
the floor, with droppings board
about eight inches below them.
Do not keep. the cockerels too long,
which are intended for market A
young bird that weighs over three
pounds viii sell well any time now
for roast.

TO STEEP
On Many Farms, Size of Flock
Should Be Increased.
Unquestionably Industry Could Profit
ably Be Fitted Into General Scheme
OF Things on Many Places
to Their Profit.

Sheep husbandry should receive
more attention from the farmers of
this country than it does at the pres
ent time. On many farms there are
no sheep at all. On many others the
size of the flock could and should be
Increased and more attention given
to this branch of farming with result
ing profit TO sthe owner.
The various phases of the sheep in
dustry afford numerous channels
through which the skill of the pro-
Queer can display itself The breed
ing Of pure-bTed stock offers special
inducements to many, while a larger
number are content with the pro-
duction of mutton and wool for mar
,ket purposes. In the breeding of
pure-bred stock the beginner has a

HINTS FOR HORSE BREEDERS
Heavy Misunderstanding of Fancy
Horses Requires Training.

The heavy mare is the best animal
for the average farmer.
Do not go into the breeding of fancy
horses unless you have been trained
in the business. Otherwise, stick to
the heavyweights.
Few men examine their horses feet
as often as they should
If your mare is to foal in March or
early in April, before grass comes, she
should have good care this winter.
Give her plenty of exercise and do
not keep her standing on a plank floor.
Feed her a little faxseed or bran
mash or boiled oats occasionally.
The colt dropped this fall ought to
be perfectly halter broken before
spring.

Ruskip on Science.

John Ruskin used to be very angry
with the statue of Science on Holborn
viaduct in London, which, along with
the others there, they are cleaning
lust now, More than once he attacked
it in 'Fors,7 though not for its utter
lack of artistic merit. His object was
otherwise. But you don't know what
science is he wrote. You fancy it
means mechanical art, and so you have
put a statue Of Science on the Hol-
born viaducx. with steam engine

Hair and Dress.

Surely there is some close relation
ship between the mode Of the hair
arrangement and the prevailing mode
of dress. 1t would be quite impossible
to imagine the hoopskirt and slender
waist of 1860 worn with the psyche
knot of a few seasons ago, or to mag
inc the classic folds of Grecian tunic
or the empire styles modelled on the
Grecian mode worn with the high,
powdered couture Of Marie Antoinette.

Her Husbands Voice

Mrs. Goodoldsoul was waiting tea
for her husband, who was expected
home from the city every minute.
Suddenly out in the street coster-
monger's donkey brayed. The dear
old lady, who was a little deaf,
beamed.
Run and put the kettle on, Jane"
she cried. The master is coming
down the street I'd know his hearty
laugh anywhere"

Mineral Products of Texas.

Texas does not hold first place as
the producer of any mineral substance,
but ranks second in the production of
asphalt and third in the production of
quicksilver. Since the sensational
strike at Beaumont in 1901 petroleum
has had first place in the mineral
products of the state, and Texas now
ranks fourth among all the states in
the quantity of petroleum produced,
and seventh with respect to the value
of the product.

Valuable Feed Wasted.

See if it is not possible to improve

that the stock may be fed without
handling the feed too many times and
scattering it about. Much waste of

BARRIERS Story RECORD.

During a Portland (Me.) BARRIERS
50 years in business he has had one
workman who has served for 40 years.
This workman has kept a record of
the number Of times the employer
tells his stories. One story which he
thinks his best one he has told 2,766
times, and says it gets better every
time he tells i.
however, depends entirely on the
strength Of his right wrist and right
arm, whereas the man with the bayo-
net can so regulate his thrusts and
parties that nearly every muscle Of
his body is brought into service.
That. 1t is seen plainly. gives the bayo-
net the advantage il the latter stages
of a duel between men armed with

On the Kansas bank Of the Missouri last night the colonel reiterated that sentiment and left the impression that his sympathy lies with the straight away fight for a dry Kansas led by Henry J. Allen, Progressive nominee for governor.
 Tn Kansas City, Mo-. the Progress sive party has made as it's chief plat form plank a demand for law enforce ment and the popular appeal is being directed toward a showdown in NO vember against what the ProgresslVes say is the last stand of the retreaflng inquor interests
