CARE OF BABY CHICKS.
Handr CMP Arrangement For Hens
and Their Broods.
The following is the care given a
hen and her chicks by a successful
poultry keeper: "My little 'sitting'
house has nests for sixteen hens, and
I try to set as many at a time as I can.
When the chicks are hatched I take
them out of the nests and put them In a
big market basket with a warm woolen
cloth to cover them. Then selecting the
hens that seem the most anxious about
their chicks I put the hens In little 'A'
coops, made with the slats perpendicu
lar, the back boarded up, the upper
half of back hinged to lower half and
held in place by button at top. Made
In this way the hen can be got at easi
ly or a dead chick taken out of the
coop without difficulty, and on a cold,

pleted.]
windy day the wind does not sweep
through the coop, chilling the chickens,
as it does when both ends of the coop
are slatted.
"I place two of these coops about ten
feet apart and connect them by two
frames, one covered with inch mesh
wire netting for front and back frame
covered with half inch matched boards,
with a door at each end, so as to get at
the front of the coops with feed and
water. As the top part of the front
frame is made of a board a foot wide,
thus more than half of the runaway Is
kept dry, and the chicks can run
around on a rainy day without get
ting wet and are safe from hawks and
'varmints.' As these frames are only
fastened to the coops by a nail or
screw, they can be taken off and stored
away in a shed in the fall. When
chicks are hatched in cold weather I
X>ut only fifteen with each hen. In
May or the last of April I put twenty
to-twenty-five with each hen.
"As the chicks are all the same color
and age, the hens do not know their
own chicks and will take any of them.
The chicks remain with the hen as long
as she will mother them."—Business

AERATION OF MILK.
P>«ttr Bad to Perform This Opera
tion In the Barnyard.
By aeration of milk we understand
the exposing of milk to air, of tho forc
ing of air Into milk. The theory of
the practice is that the oxygen of the
air purifies or improves the inllk, and
at the same time gases or volatile
oils which are In the milk are enabled
to pass away. It is true that if the air
to which the milk is exposed or which
Is forced into the milk is perfectly
pure the result undoubtedly is an im
provement in the flavor and physical
quality of the milk, but in many cases
the air Is not pure, and very often as
much harm as good Is done, says Pro
fessor H. H. Dean of Canada In Ameri
can Agriculturist.
The Bcnelt of Aeration.
Now, to my mind for a man to areate
milk In a barnyard is one of the worst
things he could possibly do. I speak
from experience. We have milked our
cows In the yard, which, I think, la
kept a good deal cleaner than the av
erage barnyard. We have put the
aerator over the fence, milked the
cows and have let the milk ruu down
over the aerator. The result was that
we got some of the worst milk we
could possibly have.
Unless the air Is pure I think It
would be best to cool the milk with
as little aeration as possible. The chief
benefit from aeration, to my mind, is
the opportunity that Is given for any
bad flavors arising from undesirable
feed or indigestion on the part of the
cow to pass away. There Is also a
certain amount of cooling which is ad
vantageous.
Popular Standard Berrien.
The Ohio experiment station has for
some years been reporting upon tho be
havior of strawberries under test. As
the result of careful study and repeated
trials of new varieties, the station Is
led to the apparently reasonable con
clusion that a new sort which gives a
food account of itself two or more sea
rons iu succession in the same locality,
but under different conditions of soil,
moisture and temperature, possesses
merit not only for that particular sec
tion, but promises to be more or less
cosmopolitan In its nature—to succeed
well over a wider range of soils and un
der even more varied conditions. Thus
It was that the Wilson, Crescent, Bu
bach, Haverland, Warfleld and more
recently the Sample, Parson's Beauty
nnd Senator Dunlap, generally behaved
well In the hands of experimenters and
became well and widely known, popu
lar and standards of their kind.
• Care of the Separator.
Wash the separator bowl and all tin
ware with cold water and then with
warm water, using a brush to polish
the surface and clean out the seams
nnd cracks. Finally scald with boiling
.water, leaving the parts of the bowl
and tinware to dry In some place where
they will be protected from dust. Do
not wipe the bowl and tinware with fl
cloth or drying towel. Heat them so
hot with steam or boiling water that
wiping Is unnecessary.
TRANSPLANTING ONIONS.
When the SeedllnKs Are Ilendy—C'nl
tlrntlnc and Fertilizing:.
As soon as the onlous are about as
thick as a lead pencil dig up carefully
with a digging fork to obtain as many
roots as possible, shearing about four
inches of top growth and packing lu
flats or baskets with wet sphagnum
moss to save from wilting. Tin; young
plants are now transferred to their
|>cnnanont quarters as soon us possi
ble, planting In well enriched ground hi
| drills about three Inches deep and six-'
teen Inches apart, for Prize Taker
six Inches apart In the row and for
others four Inches apart. After trans
planting the soil is well firmed and wa
tered thoroughly. If the weather be
dry, follow on twice a week with cul
tivation by a wheel hoe. Alternate
dressings of soot, nitrate of soda and
commerriul fertilizer nro given and
thoroughly cultivated in after each
sowing.
I find soot Is a good preventive of
thrip, which has proved at times very
disastrous to onions. —tleorge Stunden.
Alfalfa Seed.
The Ohio experiment station states
that at least a dozen new weeds have
been Introduced Into Ohio alfalfa seed
during half as many years. While this
Is unacceptable. It is still more so to ;
get only black inedlck (yellow trefoil)
plants, as many have done, where sup
posed alfalfa seed was sown. In these
times of high priced seeds there Is
temptation to adulterate with cheap
seeds like the black medlck, etc., which
have very slight value as forage plants
with us. There Is like disposition to
offer seeds with many weed seeds at
low prices. Both these dangers are
real.

Are You Tired, Nervous
and Sleepless?
Nervousness and sleeplessness ara sq
ually du« to the (act that the nerve* are
not fod on properly nourishing blood;
they are starved nerves. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pur*,
rich blood , and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are run as smoothly as machin
ery which runs in oil. In this way yoa
feel clean, strong and strenuous—yoa are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best of all, the strength and In
crease In vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming sale
for a short time. Is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
creatly Injures the «y»tem. One may feel
exhilarated and better for the timo being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The
Badge of Honesty, in a full list of all its
several ingredients. For the druggist to
offer you something he claims Is "just as
good " is to insult your intelligence.
Every ingredient entering into the
world-famed "Golden Medical Discovery "
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all the several schools of practice. Iso
other medlcino sold through druggists for
like purposes has any sucn endorsement.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" not
only produces all the good effects to be
obtained from the use of Golden beal
root, in all stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con
stipation, ulceration of stomach and
bowels and kindred ailments, but the
Golden Seal root used In its compound
ing is greatly enhanced in its curative ac
tion by other ingredients such as Stone
root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot, Man
drake root and chemically pure trlple
reßned glycerine.
