Green Bone for Fowls.

Green bone can be fed advanta-
geously to fowls intended for different
purposes and kept under different
conditions. It is a great help in has
tening the growth Of young birds. but
the greatest help of this food to the
average poultry raiser is in feeding 1t
during the winter months to supply
animal food. When fed to laying
hens the yield will be increased won

ROADS IN BETTER CONDITION
spIlt-Los Drag Of Great Service In
Keeping Thoroughfares In Shape
-HoW Il 10 Built.

The use Of the split-iog drag is i'm.
portant in putting the reads in shape.
There are over 100000 miles Of earth
roads In the country, and the split-log
drag is of great service in keeping
them in economical repair. The drag
is, used in many states and In foreign
countries. 1t is used with two, three,
on four horses, and Is easily con-
structed.
1T Is mistake to construct heavy
drag. A dry red cedar log is the best
material for drag. Red elm and wal
nat when thoroughly dried are excel
lent, and box elder, soft maple, or even
willow are preferable to oak, hickory
or ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long. and from ten to twelve
inches In diameter, and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slabs should be selected for the
front. At q point on the front slab
four inches from the end that Is to be
at the middle of the road locate the
center Of the hole to receive Cross
stake, and % inches from the other
end of the front slab locate the center
for another cross stake. The hole
for the middle stake will lie on line
connecting and halfway between the
other two.
I The back slab should then be placed
In a position behind the other. From
the end at the middle Of the road

All kinds Of grain, both whole ana
ground, are SO high in price that 1t
will pay us to study how to feed the
hens as cheaply as possible and still
secure good results.
Bran is heavy expense, and the
amount used can be greatly lessened
by feeding cut clover, or cowpea hay
These contain the same elements as
wheat bran and are very palatable tor
the hens when steamed.
Cut or break the hay into small
pieces, pack into tub or bucket and
pour over 1t all the boiling water II
will absorb, then cover closely and let
stand thirty or forty minutes before
feeding In the winter when the hens
cannot get green grass they relish this
very much.
Sprouted grains are another cheap
food. This was sold few years ago
as a poultry secret" of feed at fifteen
cents a bushel. Oats are generally
used for this, although wheat, rye and
other grains are as good.
The grain should be soaked for
twenty-four hours. or even thirty-six
hours, in warm water, then spread
in shallow boxes and kept in warm
place. Keep moist by sprinkling two
or three times day with warm water.
Feed when the sprouts are about two
inches long.
The hens will eat grains and sprouts
both and by the process Of sprouting
the amount of feed is greatly In
creased without increasing the cost

Care Of Details Important.

As rule 1t is the taking care Of the
little things that goes furthest toward
making a success Of any business.
This is especially true In the poultry
business. Until one masters this fea-
ture of the work he cannot hope to be
a real success. This Is one reason why
many women are really successful in
the raising of chickens. They have the
inborn faculty for detail in their work.

First, know what sort Of a bird is q
prize winner. To do this study the
pictures Of winning birds that are
showp in the farm papers and poultry
journals. Compare the best Of your
flock with these. When you go among
the flock to pick your birds, look for
those that have grown rapidly, and are
well feathered.
Don't take those that have dull, life
less feathers.
Don't take any that are out Of pro-
portion, or that show any sort Of a
malformation, as q crooked back or
breastbone.
Don't take birds which are sup
posed to have clean legs and feet and
which have feathers there instead. It
doesn't pay to show fowls which will
be disqualified.
There are minor faults. however,
which may. be overlooked. For 1t
doesn't matter greatly whether cock.
erel has one too many points on his
comb. Too much stress should not be
laid on faults which do not really dis
qualify. !.

the other grains that are scattered
in the litter, or as a change from the
others, 1t will of course not be neces-
sary to feed so much of the expensive
grains.
The small potatoes and the potato
parings and trimmings from other
vegetables used In the house can be
boiled, salted and peppered, as for the
table, and little bran and cornmeal
mixed with them, just enough to take
up the surplus moisture, so that the
mixture will not be sloppy. This
makes good, and also very mex

mixed the meat scraps.

through a bone cutter, or be chopped

right. it will leave only the last feed
at night to be of the high-priced
grains, and If we'll fed during the day
on these other things, they will not
eat SO much Of 1t then.
They should have a good feed Of
grain, mostly corn, for their supper, in
order to keep them healthy and sup.

BY following these suggestions, the
hens can be almost entirely kept on

THE BRAVES CHECK
PHILLIES' MAD DASH
Erskine Mayer, Tanner of
Giants, Falls Easy Prey
to Boston SluggerS.
lbs Telegraph to Tbs Tribune.I

Philadelphia, April 24.-The mad
career Of the Phillies was checked, mo-
mentarily at least, by the Boston
Braves here this afternoon. Slamming
the offerings of Erskine Mayer and Joe
Oeschger to all corners Of the lot, the
Braves sent the cohorts of Moran down
to their first defeat of the season. The
score was 10 to 2.
Those figures give clear idea OF just
how the battle went. There was not
department of the service in which the
Phillies were not outdone. For the day,
in any event, they had lost their drive.
Mayer, who on his last appearance
stood the Giants on their collective
heads, was the easiest sort of propo-
sition to the champions, who appeared
in the colors they flew last fall against
the Athletics Everything Mayer sent
up to the plate was driven back at him,
and the paths were always occupied.
Oeschger, who replaced Mayer, was no
more effective than his predecessor.
The one bright spot in the afternoon
was the hitting Of Luderus and Becker.
Both got home runs and prevented the
ignominy of a shut-out.

When this was made clear TO the
Wards they decided to relinquish their
claim and notified Magee to turn the
