ECONOMY IN LAND

Every inch of land should be utilized on a poultry farm Americans are just beginning to know and realize some things about soil economy. The crowded countries across the sea have been com pelled to cherish every foot of soil as a
 precious possession almost as precious as life itself. and it would make us open our eyes if we could see how much they make from little. The poultry farmer has an equally good opportunity, limited only by the time at his disposal. He has the chance to improve his soil as has the worker in no other branch of farming. He has the golden touch of Midas that

OF ECONOMY
 IN POULTRY CULTURE


a few were exhibited in poultry exhibi- tions during the late sos. In 1892 they were exhibited at Philadelphia as Golden Buff. One class of breeders developed, by further crossing. the present-day Bun Plymouth Rocks and Buff Wyandottes, while others evolved the breed known as Rhode Island Reds.
 Like all American breeds, Rhode Island Reds were originated with the idea of utility uppermost. Their subsequent de- velopment along fancy lines was an af- terthought. They lay big brown eggs, the chicks are strong and vigorous, and de- velop rapidly, being one of our best va rieties for the production of broilers Males weigh 71a to Sik pounds; females, 5 to 65z pounds. This breed is one of the very best for the small backyard poultry men.

COMPOSITION OF FEEDS

No dairyman would feed his milk cows the same ration he feeds when fattening cattle, yet many poultrymen feed quan- titles of fattening corn to their hens and then wonder why they do not lay.
 They are wasting their corn as well as their time, for corn alone has not the properties that go to produce eggs.
 Irregularity in feeding is another waste. It has been proven both by individual poultrymen and at experiment stations that a fixed quantity fed at stated inter- vals through the day and every day will produce eggs enough to pay for the feed and profit besides. while the same amount when fed only once through the day or twice one day and not at all the next would be total loss, for the hens would not lay under such conditions.
 Tnjudicious care is another source of waste. It is of little avail that the birds are fed right if other conditions are not right Hens may be fed balanced ra- tion approved by the latest poultry ex- not clean quarters, warmth at night, access to fresh air and sunshine, and if they are not provided with means of exercise and plenty of clean drinking water. A great deal of good feed, val uable time and good money can be vast ed through neglect of these essentials.
 It is usually waste to feed dwarfed stock, mongrel stock, sickly stock or, except in the case of valuable show speci- mems, stock that is in their fourth year.
 Young birds intended for market should be disposed of without delay when they reach the proper weight and condition. If old fowls are to be sold, sell in the fall before the moulting period; don t feed them half the winter getting no eggs, and then sell on si cheap market. Cid cocks that are not needed for another year should be marketed as soon as the breeding season is over. Save on the feed biIl wherever pOssible

This Is one of the famous American
 breeds, and was originated fifty years ago by practical breeders in the Little
 Campton district of Rhode Island, in an
 effort to produce a profitable fowl for
 all-around uses. At that time it was
 popular to cross Leghorns. Malays, etc.
 on Cochin and Braham hens. since these
 crosses furnished chicks that were rapid
 growers. The combination also produced bullets that were heavy layers Brown
 Leghorns and Indian Games were crossed
 and re-crossed on the progeny success sively, until flocks generally became a red color. Thus, the red hen of Rhode Island became even more famous than the Jersey Blues or the Bucks County fowl of Pennsylvania. After many years of practical use fan- ciers became interested in the breed and

Pike Pease Man Whom Self Confessed German Spy Beat for Parliament. Inside Story of That Election
 Curious Political Incident

London, March 1.-(Special 1.-TWO Pease in a P. o. D. Such was news paper humorist's witty summing up of the two most interesting of recent ap- pointments under the coalition govern ment-that of the Right Hon. J. A. Pease to be postmaster general. and that of his cousin, Herbert Pike Pease, to be his as- sistant. The "P. o. D. referred to by the punster is, of course, the postoffice department.
 Both J. A. Pease and H. Pike Pease have been prominent for years in the political as well as the business world here. Both hail from Darlington and are directors of Pease Partners, the great firm of ironmasters there, but in politics they are opposed, or were previous to the in- auguration of the coalition government, J. A. Peace, the new postmaster general sitting in Parliament as liberal member for Rotherham, and H. Pike Pease, as unionist member for his native town.
 Because of this latter fact, H. Pike Pease is of particular interest to news paper readers in America just now, since it was he who was beaten in the Darling ton constituency for the first and only time by the now world renowned Treb- itsch Lincoln, the self-confessed German spy who thus became a member of the British Parliament, and who at the pres- ent writing is still at large in the United States after his recent escape from the custody of the New York pOIice

 Darlington, over an hours ride by train, returning next evening to renew the Parliamentary fray.

CARE OF BY-PRODUCTS

The poultry droppings on many farms are considered a nuisance to be got rid of the easiest way possible and of no value whatever. As a matter of fact, poultry manure is one of the richest fertilizers in the world if properly cared for, but quickly deteriorates when ex- posed to rain and weather
 It should be taken directly from the hen-houses to tho land or else stored under shelter. If a quantity of manure gets wet very soon one can detect a strong smell of ammonia. the acc:ve -er- tilizing element that ss set free by the action of water.

 Rye is a good in-between crop to SOW
 in September. By keeping the fowls away from it through the fall until it gets a good start it will make an ex- cellent feed for poultry during the win ter and early spring, and will enrich the soil when plowed under for the suc- ceeding summer crop.

INTRODUCING LINCOLN

she was seized and kissed and embrac-

THINGS LIGHTNING
DOES NOT DAMAGE


Lightning, that mysterious force
generated in the power-house of ma
ture, which often sets fire to hay
stacks, frame houses and barns, has
never been known to seriously dam
age:
Railroad trains or locomotives.
Buildings with metallic grounded
sides and roofs,
Buildings which have frameworks
Composed wholly of metal,
Grounded steel windmill towers.
Steel battleships and cruisers.
Business blocks and apartment hous-

The explanation Of this phenomena
is simple, for most of these objects
conduct electricity so well that elec-
tricity induced on the earth is drawn
up through them and dispersed into
the atmosphere, thus dissipating the
charge of electricity before it becomes
strong enough to produce a flash. If
