POULTRY POINTERS.

Poultry and dairy farming go very well
together. Good results are obtained by
feeding milk in all forms to poultry.
Poultry placed in fattening pens and milk
fed command fancy prices. Utilize your
surplus milk in this way. All forms OF
milk are good.
1t is a very easy matter to overfeed
chickens, and poultIymen should bear in
mind that a hen often has the appear
ance of being starved, when in reality, it
does not need food at all.
For the average person, one breed is
sufficient with which to make a success.
Remember, there are many points in
favor of maintaining only one breed.
A sure way to the gaining of more pro
ductive poultry, and incidentally sue
cess,is to concentrate ali energy in study
ing the needs of ones flock and the con.
ditions that surround them. If anything
is wrong with either, correct the trouble.
One of the best ways to make money
in the poultry business is to start small,
do the work yourself, get rid of your
culs as broilers, destroy weak andsickly
birds as soon as noticed. BY doing this
you will gradually work up to point
where you can care for an increased flock
As the time draws near when the breed
ing pens will have to be made up, remem.
Der to select only those hens which have
just commenced to lay or those which
are just now showing signs of beginning
to lay. Mate them to a vigorous yearl
ing cockerel. If, however, you are forced
to use pullets in the breeding pens which
have been hatched in the early spring of
this year, they should be mated to two
year old cock bird.
Remember, the greatest success in the
poultry business comes to the man who
chooses a breed and sticks to it, adding
new blood of the same variety whenever
needed. No man in the poultry raising
game will meet with any degree of sue
cess if he is constantly changing from
one breed to another, in the hope of get
ting the best. Any breed of poultry
will pay if it ir given the proper care and
food,
You can be your own poultry doctor as
we'll, if not better than the other fellow.
Doctoring fowls is only the exercise of
good common sense. Diagnose the fowls
lilment, carefully note the symptoms, ana
.reat the complaint rationally-that's all
hat is necessary for your success along
his line.

FEEDING DAY MASH HELPS WINTER

The feeding of dry mash to the laying
stock means much toward the increased
production of eggs. During the winter
months, about one-fifth of the entire ra-
tions consumed by the hen should con-
sist of meat in some form or other, that
is, il 'av are expected to do their best.
The leeG Og of dry mash offers an excel
lent opportunity to give the meat or
green cut-bOne so that it will be evenly
distributed and proportioned to the hen.
This form of food should be kept con-
stantly before the hens, unless you pre-
fer the feeding of wet mash, in which
event they should be used on alternate
DAYS. While many like the wet mash
ration, prefer the dry for several rea-
sons.
A good dry mash should consist of
two parts bran, one part middlings, one
part beef scrap and green cut bone, one
part meal and one part alfalfa mesl To
this mixture may be added, if desired,
one part ground oats. The mash food
should be fed in hoppers, especially pre-
pared for it, and never placed in open
troughs; as by the latter method, the
hens will waste as much of it as they |
will eat, and at the same time, will walk |
IN the trough and contaminate the food. |
The dry mash food ia naturally eaten
slowly by the hens and at time when
hey have no grain food that can be
scratched from the litter.
AS the dry mash is consumed much
more slowly than the wet, all the parti-
les of meat or bone will be best pre-
erved in it and therefore more evenly
distributed and proportioned than is pos
ible in the wet mash. The slow eating
) also of much benefit to the hen in
nany other ways.
If these suggestions are carried out,
nd the hens properly cared for and

NOT OBSESSED BY THE WAR
British Public Evidently Has i'me 'o Give lts Attention to Other
 Subjects.

The historian of the future may wish to know how this, the greatest war in history. affected the thoughts and interests of those who lived through it. There will be one docu- ment of the period--if 1t survives which will perhaps cause the histo- rian some slight surprise. It will be a few inches shipped from the London Central News ''tape.' The Central News ''tape" is a concise news summary which gives the brief essentials of all that is happening in the world from hour to hour, and which is supplied by telegraph printing machine to newspaper of lices and clubs This Is how the par tlcular passage came through:
 "Mr. Churchill, responding to the toast of "Our Imperial Forces" said that so miles away the greatest battle in the worlds history was go- ing on. Yet there they sat, and to the outward eye nothing was altered. That was due to the navy.
 "1o: :23-The principal bout at the ring this evening was twenty three minute rounds contest between Alec. Lambert. St James. and Joe Star mer, Kettering The bout had very unsatisfactory ending, Lambert being knocked out in the second round. claiming, however, that he had been fouled. The referee, how ever, gave the verdict to Starmer.'
 At least the historian will have to conclude that the mind of the Brit ish public was not morbidly obsessed by the war.

A new process IS now announced which it is claimed gives remark ably perfect results, and is simple enough for practical commercial pur- poses, although not suited for arna- teur work. This process Is stated to be a modification of the Ives three color process, except that only two colors are used, red and green. Two negatives are taken in special cam era, or in regular camera using color screens. These negatives are so treated with dyes that the coloring matter replaces the silver in the film, and the plate becomes its own posi- tive. The two plates are superim- posed. and mounted in frame SO constructed that an electric light may be placed behind the picture. which is to be viewed by transmitted light.-Scientific American.

DE WET AS A HUM0RiST
Great Guerrilla Leader Proved on o. casion That He Was Able to
 PerPetrate . Joke.

It was during the South African war that De Wet, the Boer leader. first came into prominence, although it should not be forgotten that in the first Boer war in 1881 he fought at Ingogo and Majuba, and subsequent ly sat in the Transvsal parliament.
 His guerrilla tactics during the South African war were responsible for many Boer successes, and it was British general who said of him He appears always where he IS thought not to be-"
 One of the best stories of De Wet Is that told concerning three Yeo- manry officers who were captured by him near Lindley. De Wet told them that he had an important dispatch for General Rundle, and if they would undertake to deliver it they would be liberated. All three gave their word of honor to deliver the letter into General Bundles own hands They duly performed their mission. and got much laughed at for their pains. The letter ran as follows:
 Dear Sir-Please chain up these three men, as l can catch them every dav.-Yours. De Wet"
