EARLY MATING BEST.
If that cnrly bird gets the worm
enrly mated fowls begot best offspring
and their hustling owner gets the top
notch price. So get busy.
Geese, to insure fertility, if strangers
to the place, should lie mated the fall
before. Otherwise, like hmnnns, they
get homeslc'k nml neglect business,
Geese, turkeys and ducks often lay and
hatch very early, so let them go to
housekeeping early and avoid the rush.
Hens and roosters must be hitched
up In plenty of time before natural
breeding season.
Largo breeds, like Cochins, so slow
to mature, should be mated early In
February. March settings are all right
for Hocks, Dottes and lteds. Birds of
the Leghorn type are all right for April
and May.
To win at fall shows chicks should
bo out in January. To 1111 the place of

February, but such pullets make poor
winter layers, as they molt after egg
debut.
Vigorous adult stock that has not
been inbred nor forced for winter eggs
is best, and birds should be studied
well before mating so no change need
be made, as mates become greatly at
tached to each other and n separation
and new mating often result in infer
tility. Know your birds individually. Know
your breed's characteristics. Mate for
an ideal.

feet in one may be offset with u per
fection in that rospoet in another, but
a good bird cannot eradicate a gross
defect in tho other.
The larger tho breed the longer fox
eggs to become fertile, ten days mat
ing being generally sulllclent.
The proportion of females to male in
pen depends on breed. Birds of Leg
horn style, fifteen to twenty-live;
American and English breeds, ten to
fifteen, Asiatics, eight to ten.
DO NTS.
Don't let the merchant mix your eggs
with others and sell them all for yours.
Don't let hens niako their nests un
der tho buildings or in tho horso sta
ble, Don't allow visiting during laying
hours. Hens kuock off laying when
excited.
Don't mark your poultry with paint
when a toe punch is better and mark
can't corao off.
Don't keep eggs In n tight vessel.
Spread on a tray in n well ventilated,
clean, cool room and market early.
Don't neglect to change water often
If feeding dry mash, us particles of
mash from birds' bills sour the water.
Don't use open water vessels, nens
dip their combs nnd wattles in them,
they freeze nnd tho hens knock off lay
ing. Don't use an old slat corncrlb that Is
n food supply depot for mice and hens
when heavy wire is cheap and guards
tho grain.
Don't have rotten eggs In your pos
session. It's conclusive evidence in
certain states that you are In the rot
and spot business.

THE MEANEST SOUND THAT'S
HEARD.
How oft within tho stilly night
That tomcat yells from tho back teno.'
I throw a brickbat nt his skull.
Consign him quick to linden hence!
Ho quiets, then, llko Caesar's ghost.
Ho will not down; but, with a yowl,
Ho snorts nnd hisses, cat-a-wauts
And makes of night a hideous howl.
And there's tho hound that novcr sleeps,
A cavernous moving mouth Is ho.
"Uow-wowl Kl-yll" I tiro a gun.
Ho bow-wows back; ho thinks Its fun.
I throw tho bed slats at his head,
I swear till all Is lurid rod,
I yell till I'm exhausted quite,
Yet that hound howls till morning light.
Dut what aro such to human bores,
Tho grouchy glooms that growl around J
Tho pessimist with mournful mouth,
The knocker with his rasping sound
Bcsldo such cats nro nightingales;
Bcsldo such Towser's n sweet bird.
Yes, pessimistic, knocking cuss.
You mako tho meanest sound that's
heard.
C. M. DAUNITZ,
THE PERIOD OF INCUBATION.
Broody Illddy Is apt to fool us by
batching her eggs before or after the
date set. Though u hen generally fin
ishes her hatch the twcnty-llrst day,
the condition of hen or eggs or weather
may vary the time. Wo have known
eggs to hatch the eighteenth, nine
teenth, twentieth, twenty-first nnd even
on the twenty-fourth day. A hot blood
ed hen that sits tight on strongly fer
tilized fresh eggs often finishes on tho
eighteenth. A hen of low hatching
heat hatches late, and though tho eggs
aro strong her chicks may be weak. A
fussy hen that goes off and on nnd neg
lects her eggs may retard her chicks to
the twenty-fourth. Extremes of tem
iwrnturo often affect tho time of hatch
ing, heat hastening, cold retarding the
chick. We believe Incubation may be
suspended without injuring the germ.
English fanciers guarantee nil egg
In n setting fertile. They place them
under heat just long enough to see the
germ, test out lnfertiles, then ship.
We have reset eggs deserted by hens
for several daj-s, and they hatched
well. Through accident to nn Incuba
tor 200 eggs were away from hatching
heat for thirty hours. They were kept
covered, reset and KM chicks hatched
one day behind time.
We mention Uils so you may not rush
to throw out eggs that do not hatch on
tho minute. Though circumstances
may cause occasional variation, each
breed of fowls has its period of incu
bation, tho following table being con
sidered standard for the species men

FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
Duck yards should be scraped often.
Wet weather soaks them up and the
white ducks puddle, and how filthy
they get and, oh, what n smell! "Nuf
sed."
Aniline dye Instead of eggs is being
used in Philadelphia to give cakes that
pretty yellow color. Yes; tho fools
and the deep dyed villains aren't all
dead yet
Butter and eggs naturally go togeth
er, and poultry and dairy go so well to
gether that many are combining the
two. With bees and fruit added there's
a boodle bonanza.
A butcher of San Francisco swallow
ed fifty-four eggs In 180 seconds and
won $100. Then ho took twp drinks of
whisky nnd resumed his butchering.
That sure beats tho Old Nick.
Cock fights, dog fights nnd bull fights
nro now under the ban in the Tanama
canal zone. Think of $50 fine or Jail
for fighting roosters! 'This new law
spoils another good market for game
cock breeders.
There are some mnrkets where there
nro but fow calls for ducks. It's not
wise to dress a wholo stack of ducks
and then have to haul them back homo.
Better take n crate of live ducks to
market and test tho demand.
Cuba nnd South America are the mar
ket for gamecocks. Enthusiasts find
it pays much bettor to breed and ship
these fighting birds than to fight stags
in this country and get fined and have,
their names in the newspapers.
In buying that now gobbler don't
go to a neighbor, but buy fur uway
from home. On many farms turkeys
are related unknown to their owners.
They travel so for and aro often out of
sight so long and often there Is a
general mixup.
Tho appetite Is the signboard to di
gestion both In man and hen, nnd the
Quantity to feed n Hock must bo judg
ed by the way tho hens go for the
feed. Breeds differ in the quantity
they ent, and tho same Hock on differ
ent days does not always require Uio
samo quantity.
Wo asked a farmer's wifo who was
dressing n hen how she could tell a
healthy chicken. Sho replied that sho
always kills the hen that's laying that
it is always healthy. This is not al
ways true, and If it was, killing layers
is bad policy, for "tho hen that lays
is the hen that pays."
When a York (Pn.) belfry was enter
ed it was found almost filled with
Hparrowa' nests, and almost a wagon
load was thrown out, nnd. oh. tho
feathers! Thoso measly little spar
rows had gathered up pounds ond
pounds of feathers that wasteful peo
plo had thrown out. Go thou and do
likewise.
A black and white Homing pigeon.

in a Bristol (Pa.) yard where it alight-
od for root. An old cluck, mistaking
tho pigeon for a hawk, was fighting
tho tired bird when it was rescued.
Stray fowls should always bo adver

How "Lefty" George Lost Oul

Leader of SL Louis Browns Wearied

I Lofty George, who cross fires with

That's tho wholo, unadulterated

Doc Lawlor, who ministers unto tho

Cleveland crawled out tho short of the
horn on that deal.
"How did you slip that ono over on
Davis?" "Wallace was asked.
"I didn't slip anything over on Da

know I still would hnvo Gorgo if he
hadn't been winking at me- all season."
Somebody gave tho manager tho

came to Wallace's rescue.
"What Wallnon sum In ihn mannl

"I'll never forget a day in Boston,"
chirped Wallaco, unwilling to let Law-,
ler tell his story. "I sent George in
to pitch and told him for tho lovo of
his wife and child nnd his future in
tho profession to uncork a good game.
He said he'd try. He went along
swimmingly until the fifth inning.
Then ho inaugurated his famous

and Lefty stopped mo with that wink
