Making the Little
Farm Pay
By C. C. BOWSFIELD
p oce000000eoc00000cc00000
It goes without saying that poultry •
raising has a place in all general farm-
ing schemes. No feature is more im-
portant or profitable.
Owners of truck farms, of course,
may not wish to give attention to
poultry, but this is exceptional. In
most cases farmers keep chickens and,
they wish to make this interest larger
and more profitable. Owners of little
farms who aim at a well balanced
program „can hardly afford to neglect
poultry raising, for a very small space
is required to conduct a chicken busi-
ness that will pay in eggs and meat
an average of $100 a month, winter
and summer. An acre for buildings
and yard and two acres for range is
all the room required for a plant carry-
ing 500 laying hens and producing eggs
and meat worth $1,500 to $2,000 a year.
Nearly all the feed required can be
grown on the little farm without
crowding other interests.
To make a success with poultry,
breeding stock must be selected from.
hardy and prolific fowls, culling out
all that do not belong to good egg pro -
size and shape ana oreea up until me
fowls satisfy 'them as to quality and
productiveness. They make a, mistake
by jumping, from one breed to another,
trying to discover a better layer. It
will pay the average poultryman to
trap nest his flock in fall and winter
and breed from the pullets which lay
earnest in life and from the pullets
and trews which lay in winter.
If a hen is given reasonably good
shelter, feed and attention, She will ,
net a reasonable profit if she.bas been
properly bred. The purpose of prop-
erly feeding and housing a hen is not
to feed eggs into ber body, but so to
feed 'and care for her that one may
get out of her the eggs which breed-
ing has placed there. Proper feeding,
housing and care have a bearing on
the number of eggs produced by a
Hock, but breeding is the most impor-
tant factor. Hens must be fed liberal-
ly, especially in winter, if they are to
yield a fair profit, but care must be
taken to keep the larger breeds from
becoming too fat. They must be made
le exercise:
It is surprising how much grass and
green stuff hens will eat if they can
:;et it. Hens kept in confinement to
do their "level best" must be supplied ,
with raw cabbage or something green
to take the place of grass and will eat
greedily of boiled potatoes, boiled tur-
nips, beets and parsnips. These vege-
tables are not only excellent food for
them in addition to ,grain, but they are
also among the cheapest. Hens in con-
finement must be provided in part
with a flesh diet like meat scraps and
the refuse of butcher shops. Like hu-
man beings they are fond of a change
and appreciate a diversified menu.
All authorities are agreed that wheat
and wheat screenings, supplemented
with corn and buckwheat, are the best
grains for egg production.
Grind the corn mostly, moisten the
meal and feed it to the whole flock,
as well as to the chicks. It saves a
great deal of labor for their gizzards.
Corn is objected to by some on the
ground that it is too beating and fat-
tening. Hens are fond of milk. and it
is n valuable foot] for egg production.
but to prevent waste it should be mix-
ed with wheat bran, wheat middlings
or cornmeal.

dicing strains. It is well to aim at a
larger meat production as well as more
eggs. There is much room for im-
provement in all varieties and breeds
as far as egg production is concerned,
and it is time for the breeders of this
country to get busy. There are won-
derful possibilities along this Line.
The best producers have broad bod-
ies. The back is broad and the ribs are
widespread, giving plenty of room for
the egg organs and digestive organs.
The bodies are solid. The birds are not
loose jointed, but compactly built.
Good layers are big eaters.
A big decrease in the egg yield in
winter can be brought on more quickly
by great variations in temperature,
sudden changes in weather conditions,
than by continued or prolonged spells
of either cold or rainy weather. It will
pay to keep a good hen until she is four
years old, as her offspring will be su-
perior, although she is likely to show a
decline in egg production after the sec-
ond year.
More depends upon the breeding of
the male as to the number of eggs the
offspring will produce than upon the
female, yet it will pay to breed from
, the best layers in preference to the
poorest. Breeders should select the va-
riety which suits them best as to color,

SUFFERED WITH
LAME RACK.
Could Hardly Straighten Up For Pain.
When the back becomes lame and
Marts to ache it is the sure sign of kidney
trouble.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure the aching
back by curing the aching kidneys be-
neath -for it is really the kidneys aching
and not the back.
This is why "Doan's" cures are lasting
-the medicine cures the actual cause of
the disease, the kidneys.
Mr. J. W. Aylett, South Oshawa, Ont.,
writes: I ,have much pleasure in
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills.
Last summer I suffered with a lame back.
Sometimes I could hardly straighten up
for the pain. I read about Doan's
Kidney Pills and decided to give them a
trial. I can truthfully say that the
second box cured me. I can recommend
them to all as a speedy cure to all suffer-
ing with backache.
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50c per box,
3 boxes for $1.25, at all dealers or mailed
direct on receipt of price by The T.
Milburn Co., Limited,Toronto, Ont.
When ordering direct specify "Doan's."

CARE OF YOUNG CHICKS.
More Danger In Overfeeding Than In
Keeping Them Hungry.
Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times a day, depending
somewhat on the experience of the
feeder, says the Iowa Homestead. Un-
doubtedly chickens can be grown fast-
er by feeding five times a day than
three times, but it should be borne in
mind that there is more danger in
overfeeding than in underfeeding. At
no time should they be fed more than
barely enough to satisfy their appe-
tites and to keep them exercising ex-
cept at the evening or last meal, when
they are given all they will eat.
The young chickens may be fed any
time after they are thirty-six to forty-
eight hours old, whether with a hen or
in a brooder. The first feed may con-
tain either hard boiled eggs, johnny-
cake, stale bread, pinhead oatmeal or
rolled oats, which feeds or combina-
tions may be fed with good results.
Mashes mixed with milk are of consid-
erable value in giving a chick a start
in life, but the mashes should be fed
in a crumbly mass and not at all
sloppy.
After the chicks are two months old
they may be fed four times daily and
Methods of Milking.
In regard to the best methods of
milking a cow we are of the opinion
that the manner in which the cow is
handled bas more to clo with ber milL•-
flow than the order in which the teats
are milked. Most milkers milk either
the hind or fore teats together, al-
though there are instances where good
milkers prefer to mill: one hind and
one fore teat at the same time. As
suggested before, we are of the opinion
that kind treatment in the manner• of
handling the cow and caring for ber
wants is more essential than whether
the cows' fore teats are milked first
or not -Hoard's Dairyman.

THE USEFUL INCUBATOR.
Every Farm That Raises Poultry
Should Have a Machine.
Every farm where poultry is raised
should be provided with at least one
incubator and brooder of a capacity
according to the size of the flock kept
en (he farm. There is nothing mys-
terious nor difficult about hatching
chicks with the incubator and proper-
ly raising them in brooders. Dozens
of good machines are now offered 10
the public; which in the hands of any
fairly intelligent operator will do good
and satisfactory work.

After that she usually slows up in

will be satisfactory for this purpose,
and skimmilk will be of great assist-

Rhode Island's Capitals.
Rhode Island adopted a constitution
in 1842, which named five capitals for
the state, designating Newport, South
Kingston, Bristol, East Greenwich and
Providence as the places for successive
honor. In 1854 an amendment restrict-

estricted the meeting places of the general
assembly or legislature to two places -
Newport and Providence. In 1900
Providence became the only seat of the

Multiple Sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis, also called
disseminated sclerosis and inn-
* lar sclerosis, is caused by scat-
tered patches of hardened tissue
in different parts of the nervous
system. It is a form of paraly-
sis that comes on very slowly,
and it generally attacks persons
between the ages of fifteen and
1thirty. People who have pass-
ed their fortieth birthday seem
to be safe from it. One of the
most striking symptoms of mul-
1 tiple sclerosis Is tremor. That is
very likely to appear first when
the patient is writing. As time
goes on whenever the patient at-
tempts to perform any voluntary
act the tremor seizes him, and
it may be so violent that he is
compelled to desist. Other symp-
toms are double vision and a
peculiar, slow, dragging speech.
The disease may cause epileptic
fits and is sometimes accompa-
niets by a failing mind. The dis-
ease is almost incurable, al-
though it often runs a very long
course and may be arrested by
careful medical treatment for
years. The diet should be �sim-
]e and wholesome, tonics should n
be given when necessary, and the 1patient should stay and sleep as
'F much as possible in the open air.
IA quiet life, free from all strain
and excitement, is absolutely
necessary.
Mating Fowls.
While the proper mating of fowls is
quite an intricate' business, especially
where the double mating system is fol.
lowed, still one general rule may be
followed to good advantage, and that
is not to mate extreme types expect-
ing to produce a medium, but rather
mate like to like and you will get
better average results.

The way to have eggs in winter Is
to hatch pullets early. It is the early
hatches :from which the early pullets
are derived that are the largest money
makers for tthe poultry producer. The
early hatched pullets if properly
grown should begin to lay 4.0 the fall,
at the lime when eggs are scarce and
high in price.
Pullets that start to lay in the fall
before cold weather sets in will, as a
rule, lay 011 winter. February, March
and April are the months to do hatch•
log iu order. to secure early bateh.ed
pullets,

A young highland plowboy was pes.

proposed. At this instant the pair
(they were walking in the fields) came

instead of 'working. The lassie, a

"Aye, or their lather," replied the
