ONE HUNDRED TONS SOLD
Outlook For Next Winter's
Supply Very Far From
Encouraging
Killingcr, Pa., May 12.—A coal
famine cry overtook our people last
week. They got scared and afraid
there would be no coal to be had
for next winter* supply, they rush
ed on the Bo.ver & Weaver coal yards
and cleaned them out in short order.
Over one hundred tons were hauled
out in less than two days. There are
now n prospects of having any for
next winter's supply, as the only
means of getting the same is on the
Midland Pennsylvania railroad, and
it shut down in January. The way
things look the prospects are not
very encouraging. The township
road board has made plans to put
the roads in repair. They are in bad
shape at some places, but labor is
so scarce here that it is impos
sible to procure any one to work. —

For Skin Blotches
Tfcere is one remedy that seldom
fails to clear away all pimples, blotches
and other skin eruptions and that
makes the skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim
ples, rashes, black heads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 25c; an extra
large bottle, SI.OO. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

GUINEA RAISING
METHODS FOR BEGINNERS
Peculiarities of the Guinea's
Temperament Make Rear
ng Difficult
Wild Flavor of Its Flesh
Commends It to the
Epicure—lt Rivals Quail
By M. 1,. Ixnigflcld
Author and Practical Poultryman
The epicure lias discovered tlie
guinea. In metropolitan restaurants
anil hotels, this fowl now consorts
with most select company on tlie
melius. Tlie delicately wild flavor of
its flesh and its tenderly plump
1 dark breast commend it to epicurean
favor. Whether lie eats It honestly
as guinea, or persuades himself he
is tickling his palate with game, he
finds it rivals quail. Hence, more
young guineas arc eaten now than
ever before.'
A new and increasing demand has.
arisen for a fowl whose culture has |
hitherto been neglected. Generally j
speaking, the guinea of the past has
been merely toleratr.l on the farm, i
never esteemed as profitable. It was !
regarded as a noisy, flighty creature, i
whose chief recommendation was its j
well-known habit of sighting hawks j
in time to set up a discordant chorus. I
In the warm months flocks semi-!
wild by nature and profession skirt-j
ed the edges of civilized poultrydom
and multiplied meagerly in distant
fields. Krosts and snows stimulated
a dormant allegiance and they re
turned to the barnyard for food and
shelter. Mere, by one ruse or an
other. the voung ones, plump as
partridges, were caught by the farm
er. Having cost him nothing, he
was satisfied with twentv-flve cents
apiece when he sold them in an in
different market. These and the
eggs, which are regarded as a great
delicacy, were his returns from this
branch of his poultry.
(iiiinca Temperament
The guinea is the most suspicious
creature in the poultry yard. It eyes
askance tlie well-known mistress in
a new frock, and shrieks hysterically
at a shadow. It is always hearing
sounds and seeing ghosts. Such be-
BARRED PLY MOUTH ROCKS
The most popular and probably
the widest known of all American
breeds of poultry is the Barred Ply
mouth Rock.
Early in the history of pure-bred
poultry In America the Shanghais,
Chittagongs, Black Spanish, Games
and Dominiques weie the only pure
bred varieties known. Many crosses
were made from them, until an ac- ;
tual type of shape and color was
agreed upon, about 1878, known as
the "Great American Mongrel."
It is generally airreed that the
present-day Barred Plymouth Hock
is descended from a cross of the
Dominiques and Black Javas, the
latter a fowl of Asiatic origin. Ply
mouth Rocks became widely popu

i liavior is responsible for its hitherto
limited list of friends. These pe
; culiarities of its disposition account
i partly for the general habit of al
; lowing guineas to breed themselves,
j In no other fowl does the instinct
' of distrust seem so much a part of
j cell and fiber as in the guinea.
In spite of this timorousness
it here is both profit and interest in
raising this fowl. Except on limited
[ areas, it requires little feed. They
I soon yield their confidence to the
| attendant who feeds them regularly.
Rough treatment alienates them be
yond hope, and their propensity for
flying makes their capture at the
proper time difficult.
The male selects his mate and
clings to her faithfully. While she
attends to the duties of maternity,
he hovers near, ready to shrill an
alarm at sign of danger. When the
brood appears he shares equal re
sponsibility to food, shelter and pro
tection. If misfortune overtakes the
hen, he assumes her duties.
Distinguishing the Sexes
At a casual glance, male and fe
male are Indistinguishable. She has
the preponderance of vocabulary.
Besides the cry of "Tck," common t"
both, she sings "potrack." This cry
is the only sure way for the ama
teur to distinguish the sexes. Those
acquainted with the fowl observe
the length of the bony protuberance
on the head and of the wattle-lobes,
which are larger in the adult rooster.
Of the White, I)ove and Pearl,
the latter seems most popular. The
flesh of all is dark and gamey, but
that of the white, or of the white
crossed with pearl, is a shade lighter.
It'is believed that their habit of Hy
ing at the least excuse and their
feeding among the fields contribute
to the game favor. In fact, the
guinea seems a link between the
distinctly wild and the placidly tame
fowls. A newly-hatched pearl
guinea is the replica of a baby par
tridge, except in size. Markings,
coloring and con'our are identical.
There are two methods of raising
these fowls, both of which must ac
cord with guinea nature. By one
like Topsy they just grow; grow
wild, fearful, distrustful. They cost
no board bill, but when old enough
for shipment are as wild as birds.
They view traps with suspicion and
are bagged only by a sure shot. Their
mother, having no convictions re
garding damp feet, has gotten them
up betimes on dewy mornings in her
energetic attention to the family
rapidly and make excellent table
fowls at all ages. They are good
l'oragers and will give satisfactory
results, even under conditions that
are not the best.
As a fancy fowl the Barred Ply
mouth Rock has many admirers. It
is difficult to produce good speci
| mens without patience and consid
; erable application to breeding prob-
I lems.
Barred Plymouth Rock males
weigh from eight to ten pounds; fe
males from six to eight pounds.
Their .evenly-barred plumage is
striking and beautiful, and tlie fowls
In flocks are exceptionally attractive.
They have demonstrated for many
years their worth as a farmer's fowl.
They do well in confinement and

larder, and dragged them through
dank grass. Dally the rollcall
shrinks, and at marketing time a
small percentage remains. The re
markable fecundity of the fowl Is
scarcely equal to the inroads of
enemies and storms.
Efficiency in Guinea Raising
The efficient way of rearing the
fowl in profitable numbers begins as
early as the middle of March, before
an egg is laid, if one must depend
for brooders upon the usual kind of
guinea. The Hock should be trained
to frequent an orchard or a nearby
field. This is done by feeding them
there scantily several times daily
during March and April. They will
make their nests there under hedges,
bushes, brush-heaps or vines. Laying
begins during middle or last of April.
Xests can often be located by ob
serving guineas that feed solitarily.
The hen is laying nearby. It is un
wise to touch an egg till the hen be
; comes broody. Thereupon all eggs
i should be removed, preferably dur
ing her absence. The empty nest
"breaks'" her disposition to sit, and
she soon resumes laying, often, in the
same nest if she has had no fright
there. The eggs should be given to
staid sitting hens, such as Plymouth
Rocks, sixteen to each. Four weeks
later, the little ones hustle out of
their shells, and. true to their herit
age of fear, creep slinkingly into
corners of the nest away from the
explorations of tlie attendant's hand.
For the next three or four weeks
the litle chaps require patient care.
They seem stupid. The hen's moth
call is a foreign language they find
hard to learn. When once it is fixed,
it is ineradicable. Guineas never for-
Ket their foster .mother. Ix>ng after
she has weaned them, sometimes for
years, they play Damon to her
Pythias. She finds their devotion
embarrassing, and hides, but seldom
eludes their pertinacity. Such
guineas make good brooders. They
roost in henhouses with the foster
mother and often lay there. Some
times tlie.v can even be trusted to
raise a brood of their own.
Care of Young Guineas
Until the litle guinea and the hen
learn each other, it must not be al
lowed to roam. The chicks need
range which is best secured by in
closing the hen in a small coop and
pen. The coop should have an
earthen tloor, and the pen be grassy.
After two or three weeks the
guineas, then boasting well-feather-

and, likewise, everyone used hand-mixed ,
paint. To-day, when machine-spun cloth
is so much better and cheaper, no one

however, because they do not know that Jf^

Ed wlngsr know the foster mother's
"cluck." They then graduate to the
privilege of leaving the pen with the
mother. After this they require
nothing but water and three meals a
day.
Besides green food, guineas must
have shade from the hot sun, plenty
of water to drink, grit and char
coal. They thrive on hard-boiled
egg mixed with a bran-and-meal
mash, or with fine-ground chick
feed. Owing to its Insectivorous na
ture, It needs a large proportion of
animal food. It Is possible to raise
a hundred or more in a small or
chard, but this need of theirs must
he supplied. During the first five
weeks of their life, guineas must be
fed at least four times dally. They
are ravenous little creatures; If al
lowed to become too hungry, diges
tive troubles result from their In
temperance. When they can spend
their days roaming, coarser chlck
feed, wheat, and, later, corn, are ac
ceptable, and they demand no other
care. As soon as possible at this
time they should be trained to roost
In a house instead of a coop, since,
like turkeys, air is a necessity.
As with other fowl precautions
against parasites are necessary. If
the foster mother be dusted with In
sect powder and their quarters be
clean, there is usually no trouble.

The trap nest Is the only ab

for egg production, but for those
who are not In a position to trap
their birds, there are character
istics to be observed which are
almost as positive as the nest,
and which if used Intelligently,
will be of great value in building
up a heavy laying strain. Next

this subject.
