TIMELY HINTS '
, FOR FARMERS
Colony Plan For Fowls.
Whcro tbo liens are kept in colony
houses they may bo moved to differ
ent grnlntlclds ns soon as tlic crop lins
been harvested and And plenty of feed
for several weeks.
Clover or alfalfa chaff may be gath
ered In the barn and given to poultry
every few days. Wo are gradually
learning that bulky feeds, such as the
clovers, make good feeds for n part of
the egg ration and form a decided ad
vantngo in small cost.
Farm poultry Is too often allowed to
run In one largo tlock. The chlck3
cannot be fed properly and nro almost
sure to become Infested with Hco from
the older fowls. Often ducks, geese,
chickens and turkeys are all turned to
gether to fight for supremacy, 'iho
more the fowls are distributed over
tbo farm In summer the more pro
ductive they will be. Wlneonsln Stu
dent Farmer.
Tobacco For Sheep.
I have helped dissect lambs dying of
tapeworm that had had all the tobacco
they would eat for mouths previously,
writes Joseph 13. Wing In the Breeder's
Gazette. It may help some, but assur
edly It will not prove a sure preven
tive of tapeworms. Tobacco seems to
aid greatly In keeping down nodular
disease and stomach worms. The .
cret of success seems to le to salt t'.ie
tobacco only very little, then feeding
it In unlimited amounts and giving no
other salt. It seems to do the sheep no
harm to eat It In fairly large amounts,
and most failures In Its use come from
using too little of It.
EGG PRODUCERS
OF THE FUTURE
Improving the. Herd.
There Is only one way known under
heaven of Improving the quality of a
pure bred or a grade herd of cows
that is, by the constant use of the very
best and most proiwtent bulls that can
be obtained, good care and generous
feeding. Any letting down of the Idea
of quality in the sire will surely result
in a corresponding degeneracy of his
heifers, to bo shown In their future his
tory as cows. Farmers are not saving
money by sowing poor seed In any
thing. When will that Idea become
dominant in their minds? Hoard's
Dairyman.
Indian Runner and Orpington
.Ducks Are Prolific Layers.
In the near future we shall look
largely to ducks for our egg supply,
writes .1. 12. Cummins In Western
Poultry Journal. The new breeds of
egg producing ducks that lay white
shelled eggs, the Indian Itunner. niul
the Huff Orpington duck, arc now
helping to solve the egg problem. The
rapidity with which these fowls are
growing In favor Is wonderful.
Tho Indian llunncr is the best known
and Is coming to the front by leaps
and bounds. It Is a beautiful bird that
matures very quickly and Is usually
shelling out the eggs at four months of
age. It is no trouble nt all to produce
tho second generation of Indian Run
ners the same season. Their eggs
hatch readily, but must be placed un
der hens, as the Indian Itunner never
sits.
This duck is smaller than tho Orp
ingtou duck, but lays nearly as many
eggs, sometimes above 200 a year.
When we remember that three duck
eggs are the equal of five hen eggs In
weight and food value, and that the
annual production of a Runner Is
equivalent to 400 hen eggs, wo get a
proper Idea of Its value as a utility
fowl.
This duck is n great forager and re
quires little or no feeding when given
free range, preferring grass to grain.
It is very hardy and prefers to nxwt
outdoors on tho ground, except in se
vere weather. The housing Is n sim
ple problem and a fence twenty-four
Inches high is sufficient.
Tho flesh of the Indian Itunner is
especially fine in quality and early In
maturity, and can bo produced nt less
expense, pound for pound, than the
ordinary market duck, but it Is even
more profltablo a3 an egg producer.
Freaks of Lightning.
Lightning has struck, plucked feath
ers from and lnsldcs out of chickens
ami, better than some cooks, roasted
them to a proper turn for the table.
It has roasted apples on tho tree and
corn on the stalk and has struck
goober and potato vines and cooked
the goobers and tubers in the very
eround.
HUMOROUS QUIPS
The Game.
All tho world's a pnme
Ami nil the men nnd women merely play
ers. They have their shuttles and their cuti
for deals,
And each man In his time fills many seats,
Ills play being seven jack pots. At first
the dealer,
WnltlnR and watching for a chnnce to
raise;
Then the mnn next to him with his growl
ing Decause the fates havo set him right be
neath the gun
And mada him hold the ngc. and then the
opener,
Pushing his stack In on a pair of aces
Willi which he holds a side card: then the
bluffer.
Full of strange wiles, with eye shade on
his brow
And eyes like glass ones, standing pat on
deuces.
Shoving his chips Into the center
Till no one dares to call, and then the
sleeper,
Who never knows whoso deal It Is at all
And often won't discard beforo tho draw.
Who must bo told to get his anto In,
And so he plays his part. Tho sixth age
shifts
Into the lean and hungry shoestring sport
Who tries to pike n white chip to a stack
And stays In every big pot for a sight.
Then draws Uirco cards and makes a roy
al Mush
And talks about his wondrous poker senso
And at the kitty swears. Last stage of
all
Th' 1' this Btrango, eventful history
ts Hasbocn when he may but look upon
tho game.
Sans chips, sans cash, sans watch sans
everything!

His Remedy.
There had been a little quarrel after
the honeymoon.
"And Just look at my pretty linen
collar," sobbed the young wife. "The
tears have trickled down and wilted
It out of shape. You haven't a bit of
feeling."
"Indeed I have," laughed tho big hus
band. "I'm going to fix things up."
"H-how, George?"
"Why, the next time I go downtown
I nm going to buy you a new water
proof collar." Argouaut.

Beautifying Army Posts.
Interesting H the well authenticated
news that army oitlcers in Manila have
caught the civic improvement spirit
and nro engaged In making beautiful
tho various posts. Many shado trees
have been planted, and a noncommis
sioned olllcer has been sent, It Is said,
to the city nurseries to mako n study
of horticulture. From tho nurseries
quantities of plants arc being sent to
the posts. In our own land it is usual
to find the army posts almost as beau
tiful, quite as well cared for and al
most as free as aro tho public parks.
Progress of Cement.
A few years ago Amerlcn imported
moro Portland cement than It manu
factured. Now the tables have beon
turned, and this country has taken
tho front rank In the production of
cement and Its use In construction. It
has been estimated that the quantity
of Portlnnd cement used In this coun
try In 1903 would be sufllclent to lay
a sidewalk 10 feet broad all round
tho enrth at the equator. If com
pacted into a single solid cube, that
cube would measure almost 1,000 feet
on each edge.
