hatchina Guinea Fowls.

Four weeks or more are. required for
Matching guineas, and, unlike other
chicks, the guineas break the shell
nearly every one at the same time.
They are all hungry, too, and before
the down is dry begin pecking at each
others eyes and feet or trying to swal-
low tiny bits Of eggshell. They are
sprightly little things and about the
prettiest Of all young fowls, but until
well feathered are very tender and del
icate. For this reason It is best not to
allow the hens to sit until June or July,
so that the chicks may be reared in
warm, dry weather.

Don't Ov0rwork Horses.

Horses should not be overworked.
Heavy blowing and narrowing should
be done with three horses abreast. It
is a very effective team. When the
team commences to flag from over
work, especially when the weather is
hot, rest at once, wash out the mouth
Of each horse and give a little water.
A little meal in the water is capital
thing for horses at noon and night
when they come home tired. One pint
in two gallons of water is about the
right quantity.

Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and

pounds; wheat bran, three pounds;
middlings, three pounds; meat scraps,
three pounds; bonemeal, one pound,
but the ration should be varied some
what to keep up their appetites.

p. and VS. Beat Raymond.

The p. and w. team added more
laurels to their sweaty brows last Sun
day when they journeyed to Raymond
and defeated the aggregation repre-
senting that village in a holly con-
tested game by a score of 6 to S. The
winners got away to a poor start ow-
ing to the fact that they had had a
rough ride to the scene of battle, and
also to the fact that they drank too
much pop prior to the game, and were
in no condition to work hard. Bob
Johnson was on the mound for them
and had the home boys thinking the
ball had shrunk to the size of a pea,
he sent them down the alley so fast.
The first four innings saw Raymond
snatch a four run lead, with the home
rooters working overtime to aid their
cohorts. Then along about the sew
enth it was the same old story. Some
body said Lets co. and they went.
Before the smoke had cleared away,
the game was safely tucked in the old
bat bag that holds so many other
scalps Of helpless victims. Leanus
Thyden enlivened the festivities a lit
tie by tipping a line drive into left
field, and completing the circuit while
the entire Raymond team were looking
for the ball.
