It would seem as if eTcry person
might see that poultry keepiug is a
prolitable industry now that eggs are
from forty-five to tiity cents per dozen ;
and there certainly is money in a lim
ited number of fowls rightly managed.
Considerable care and attention are,
however, imperative. Perhaps there
is more detail to the work of poultry
culture than to any other class of live
etook husbandry. ' Certainly there are
any qnatity of so-called "little
things" to be attended to. Probably
the poultry honue needs whitewashing,
if this has not been done recently.
This not only makes things "look"
vastly better, but is effective against
lice and parasites. The wash may ba
mised quite thin an.l applied with s
spraying pump; or it may be used
thicker and put on with a brush. To
every gallon of the wash add a trill of
carbolio acie, which is an excellent
disinfectant aud iusect killer. The
feed of fowls during these cold months
needs attention. Bugs and insects are
no more, and therefore, we must sup
ply our birds with animal food. Boiled
meat, beef scraps, etc., are all good;
but fresh, raw meat and ground bone
are much better and more nutritious.
Only comparatively recently has a
uiacnme ueen put upon tlie market
that will reduce hard, green bones to
hen food surely and expedite?. Bones
themselves are very cheap, and now
that they can ba readily worked up,
are available as poultry food. Green
food must be supplied to fowls that
are confined ; and in fact, to all poul
try iu winter. Hang up a cabbage,
where the hen will be obliged to jump
for it. This will "kill two birds with
one stone," for the fowls will get the
green food they need and also get the
exercise eo essential to healtn. Boil
potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets aud
parsnips, mix with bran and corumeal,
and foed same every winter's morning,
as a warm mash. Once or twice a day
scatter a small amount of grain nbout
to induce the birds to soratcb.

a good smoke, but they must be net

Bacon keeps nowhere so well aj iu

air and a cool, dry, dark room for

COMMON SKNSE POULTRY MiVA'iEMEST
What breeds pay best? is a question
often etiked of the laucioraud answered
generally byrecoiuiueu-iiugtue breeds

jority haviug the form of the Ply
mouth Bocks, weighing anywhere
from five to seven pounds. They grow
quickly and, feathering early, were
salable at six weeks to two months old,
weighing 1 j to two pounds and bring
ing fancy prices as broilers. Tho hons
from this cross lay nearly as well as
tho Leghorns. A few crosses make a
little mongrol fowl that is an eyesore
and too small to bo profitable. My
next cross waa Light Brahma males
and White Leghorn hens. These were
gonerally pure white, larger than the
first cross, good layers as hens, and
early broilers, but do not feather as
early as the first named.
One can keep two breeds without
confining them if the large breed is
hatched early and the small one later.
I did this for some years by letting
the flock run out with Brahma males.
I set only the dark eggs until I bad all
the hens sitting that 1 wished. About
the middle of May I sold my Brahma
males and brought home my Leghorn
cockerels, which I lent to a lady who
had a pen of Leghorns. After two or
three weoks I began setting tho pure
white eggs, which hatched from July
1 to Angust 1. The pullets from
these made early spring layers, con
tinuing almost without intermission
until moulting time, not stopping even
then if well cared for. These late
hatches come when there is an abund
ance of small seed and grain on a farm,
besides iusecti, and it their quarters
are kept free from vermin they require
but little care after the first few weeks.
They should have warm, comfort
able quarters to themselves through
tue winter. 1 have a brood of Brown
Leghorns hatched in Juno. One at
least began to lay in January. Of
course if one intends to keep pure
chickens of any kind for salo, one
breed is all that can be kept unless
yarded, and so securely that there is
no clianco tor mixture. But for farm
poultry this plan ce.n bo followed with
good results, and first crosses obtained
by setting tho Leghorn eggs whilo
mated with the large males. The large
breeds lay yellow or brown eggs, tho
small breeds white ones, so they are
easily distinguished.
If you are breeding pure chiokens
of two or more varieties, the males
should be separated from them by the
first of February at least. I like to
let my henn run at large as long as
possible, so I shut the males np uutil
ready to yard them for breeding pur
poses. Then I put each breed in its
pen and turn the extra males out with
my stock poultry. I like to have two
good tuale-i of each kind, and then if
anything happens or the ono yarded
does not prove satisfactory, I have a
vigorous male to replace him without
further trouble or loss of time. A few
weeks' liberty will sometimes recuper
ate a fowl until he is as good as ever.
When yarded, chickens must have
good care to do well. Change of diet,
green food, or scalded clover in win
ter sprinkled thickly with bran, apples
and potatoes raw sometimes, a warm
mess in cold mornings, with a good
sprinkle of pepper and salt, meat
scraps, broken dishes pounded fine
enough to be swallowed, coarse saud
and gravel, and plenty of coal ashes
thrown about the yards are inexpen

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Apple rust is caught from codar trees
affected with an enlargement of tho
branches known as cedar apples.
Hence the remedy for apple rust is to
destroy all the cedar trees in the
neighborhood, or else to paint the
apple trees green with the Bordeaux
mixture.
Those who retail fruits in the city
find that those of good appearance pay
best, irrespective of quality. The
largest and best looking are first dis
posed of. It is only after quality is
known, as in the cane of the Keukel
pear, that a fruit of common appear
ance can be sold.
It is an almost universal mistake to
think that trees require no water, or
but little, in winter. There is a great
deal of evaporation all through the
winter, and if moisture is not close at
hand the tree will die. Keepiug this
iu mind, it will be soen why there is
great benefit iu mulching newly plant
ed trees.
The impression that the growing of
small fruits is both difficult andexpeu
Bive has beeu obtained by the putting
of this clase ot plants in the kitcheu
garden, which is usually too small.
To save space, the plauts are crowded.
Cultivation is, therefore, to difficult
to be thorough, aud a good yearly
yield is out of tho question.
An orchard of 100 trees should con
tain not more than twenty-five sum
mer aud fall sorts; the balance should

varieties. A few standard apples,
I well grown and prepared for marker,
will make a farm's reputation, while
if there be a score of kinds, there will
i not be enough of any one to establish
I a name.
I The fruit grower who desires to
make the most of his trees must get
acquainted with them aud visit them
frequently, even during tho wintei
Thus he can look after their welfare,
protect them from rabbits and mice,
remove insect e.gs wherever found,
nud otherwise assist them. To leave
au orchard to its own resources all
winter is a great mistake.
Apples may be kept in good condi
tion until late inthesiuumer, by wrap
piug perfectly sound specimens in soft
paper and packing them tenderly in
clean barrels and storing them iu
cold, dark cellar. Another good ulan
for keeping them is to bury them in
rarth below tlio reach of freezing.

INTOXICATION jixn ramie.
The Court ot Appeals, tlirouijli Justice
Morris, on Monday pronounced a most
wholesome doctrine of criminal law In pass
im? on a murder c.iw that Involved the
question of how far a erimo may bo excused
because of the Intoxication of tho de!endaut.
There Is a perverted sense of charity in somo
quarters that plead tor mercy for a man
who robs, shoots, cuts, assaults or otherwise
offends while drunk. It is uriiivl that the
drink habit tsa disease, thnt the influence of
strong liquor is to make a man nn Irresponsi
ble agent, nnd, therefore, thnt Intoxication
must, In criminal matters, bo likened to in
sanity as a palliation of tho offence. This
dootrine Is plainly dangerous, tending at
onoe to Increase both drunkenness and
crime. It has obtained a certain vogue In
some of tho lo er courts, and this, it is
urged, hasspread a belief ntuoug the criminal
cuwsog that liquor Is regarded Wy the Ihw as
nn excuse for all sorts of offenses. The hold
ing by the Court of Appeals Is of such force
and expressed with so much certainty that it
should bo spread abroad as widely lis possi
ble to check tho unfortunate tendency that
all too plainly exists. Justice Morris, in up
holding the action of thn court below, said:
"Wo hold emphatically as the lawoftlie
District of Columbia that voluntary Intoxi
cation is neither an excuse nor a palliation
for crime. Voluntary intoxication is itself
a crime, at least lu morals If not always In
law. It Is always nt least a vice. And it
would be subversive of nil law and all morals
it the commission of oue vice or crima could
be permitted to operate as au ex-uo or
palliation for another crime."
This is definite language that may bo un
derstood by all, whether vereed in the law
or not. It in an eminently wise division,
nnd It Rives tho courts of inferior jurisdic
tion In the district ample ground for sumo
effective reformatory work. Tho process
should begin In tho Police Court, where
drunkenness and petty crime commonly go
hand in hand. It should follow tho course
ot justice through- tlio Ornnd Jury to the
criminal court in special lor.n, an t so on
up to tho tribunals of last rsort. When men
are brought to n clear, dotlnlto understand
ing that intoxication is held by the law to
aggravate instead ot to excuso a crime com
mitted under tlio influence of liquor, they
may ne less easily templed by the boltle.

SUNDAY OPEN SALOONS.
Thomas Carlyle Is reporUd to have said:
"Tho suiierabunnaut number of open nulilio
houses on the Sabbath Is transforming all
our multitudinous towns into Dantean hells
by the gin aud ether intoxicuuts they sell
tbero." Baron Rothschild said of the effects
of the open saloon on Sunday: "There are
many streets in London where you may see
row after row of public, houses, deus of tho
worst description, which are simply support
ed by the money which flovv-f into their
coffers on Sunday, and if closed on thnt day
they must eventually go to tho wall."
A writer tn the ltoligiou Tclescopa says:
The criminal statistics of Englaud show that
13,000 nersous are convicted aunually for
Sunday drunkenness as a result of open
saloons in London and other cities. Notice
that this number IsJ eouvlotet. How many
are drunk or tipsy in their homes who nre
not arrested' This demonstrates tho work
ot the Sunday open sa'oons.

time, but before I had taken half a box of
tho pills I felt like a different man. After
taking several boxes of tin pills mv legs Im
proved, and my bodily health was altogether
better. I put aside my crutches, my strength
returned, my mind became olear and all the
organs of my body seem now to be doing
their work well.
"I am now working most every dsy nnd I
am in nearly as good health as I had been
for several years prior to my last Illness."
Mr. Harrison was loud In the praises of
Dr. Williams' Tills, and he continued:
"I can honestly say that I feel that if I had
not had the pills 1 should not have been here
to-day, so I most cheerfully toll of the won
derful work they have done for me. I sin
cerely hope that this statement may reach
some other poor sufferers and accomplish a
excellent work for them as I hnve had the
benefit of."

Goose Fed ou a Diamond.
Mrs. Robert Rosenthal, of East
Thirty-seoond street, recently becamo
the possessor of a diamond of consid
erable value iu s singular manner.
About five weeks ago she went to her
butcher's and selected a goose. It was
sent home and, ns she does not believe
in con-ding; such matters to her
servant, she proceeded to open it. Sho
felt something hard under her fingers
and npon'exnmination found what was
very much like a diamond.
Mrs. Roeenthal did not nt first sup
pose it was a diamond, but to make
sure she took it to a friend who is a
judge of preoiou stones. After in
specting it ho doolared it to be a dia
mond of excellent waten, worth iu the
neighborhood of 8150. The goose did
not cost more than $1.50.
Mrs. Rosenthal said nothing about
hor find outside the family for some
time, but finally the butcher heard of
it and visited her house to examine
the jewel. He said lost night that it
had a email fragment of gold adhering
to it as though it had been eet in a
ring.
It ia said that when he returned to
his shop he immediately performed
autopsies on all the geese he had in
stock in the hope of discovering more
jowelry. Ho was not successful, how
ever. He could not remember whero
he had bought the particular goose
which Mrs, Rosenthal purohased. It
ia his custom, he said, to purohase of
wholesale dealers wherever he can get
the best for his money. New York

Parents or 58 Feet ot Children.
The family referred to is famous in
the West Forka (Ind.) neighborhood
as being the tallest in the aggregate of
any in tho county, although there nre
individuals of greater stature. 'What
will also interest students is the fact
that the parents are rather small. Tho
father is 5 feet I inches in height ; the
mother less, though both are of
Mjnatty mould. The height and
weight of the children is thus given :
James Connelly, C feet 9 inches in
height, weight 200 pounds.
Eilwurd Connelly, 6 feet 4 inches,
weight 245.

The total height of the children is

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical Ilia which vanish before proper ef
fortsgentle efforts pleasant effort a
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge that bo many forma of
sickness are uot due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it ia the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value pood health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, thnt It is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acta. H is therefore
nil important, in order to get iU bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which ia manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold bj all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa
tives or ot her remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but, if In need of a laxative,
then ono should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stnnds highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
