HEALTHY CHICKS. Thay Ara Insured by Vigorous Parents aand Careful Incubation. Now Is the time to make preparations for the hatching campaign of next win ter, and for that reason the following hints from Reliable Poultry Journal are timely: . To secure best results in hatching Use only sound, vigorous, fully matured breeding stock that is well boused and properly fed and cared for. It should be remembered that carelessness in savini; esss for hatching may result in chicks dead in the shell, for anything that tends to weaken the germ is liable to result iu the death of the embryo at some stage of incubation. Eggs for hatching had best be kept at a tem perature between 40 and 50 degrees F, neither above nor below. Exposure to too low a teniierature is li: e to in jure the germ, and prolonged exposure to a temperature above 65 or 70 is almost certain to injuriously affect the fgg contents, particularly the yolk, and to weaken the germ. Eggs for hatch ing should be as fresh as possible. The longer they are kept the weaker the germ becomes. Under favorable condi tions they may be safely kept from two to four weeks, but as a rule three weeks should be the extreme limit. Careless or improper incubation may also result in chicks dead in the shell. Overheating or prolonged exposure to a temperature of 104 or above is liable to seriously injure the egg content and result in death of the embryo before exclusion or of the young chick within the first few days after hatching. The cellar Is all right if you keep it well aired. , Turkey Food Formula. In answer to many letters regarding the formula given in the Syracuse . Post-Standard by Mrs. Floyd Gates of Jamesville, N. Y., last winter, by which he was able to raise turkeys success fully, the formula is again published: Wood charcoal, one pound; sodium chloride, two pounds; sodium hyposul phite, two pounds; sodium bicarbonate, two ' pounds: sodium sulphate, one pound; antimony sulphide, one pound. Have each Ingredient In powder; then mix together thoroughly and give a small handful in the food every morn ing, Increasing the amount as the birds grow. Head Shaking Cockerels, Some cockerels shake their heads from pure nervousness, others because of Irritation from vermin or other cause and still others because of excessively large combs. Irritation from frosting of combs and wattles will cause birds to shake their heads Vigorously. Frosted combs when first discovered should be rubbed thorough ly with snow or bathed In very cold water. This treatment should be fol lowed by an application of unguentlne r of 2 per cent carbolated vaseline. A Good Colony House. The colony house shown In the Illus tration is of the type now in use by the West Virginia experiment station. It Is said to be one of the most satisfac tory colony houses yet devised, and Its simplicity is not the least of Its ad- Vantages. Another strong point in its favor is that, while it Is adapted to uso In the warmer sections of the country, It Is also thoroughly satisfactory for high latitudes. No poultryman will go far afield by making some of his col ony houses on the plain of the West Virginia building herewith shown. "Commencing at the Wrong End." Bays Poultry Topics: "Putting all the money you have Into buildings and leaving nothing for stock Is a sure way to make a failure of poultry raising. You are commencing at the wrong end by so doing. It is by far better to Invest the major portion of your money In a good trio or pair of birds of your choice and house them in a dry goods box until you can afford a better place." Dry Chick Feed Mixture. The following excellent dry chick feed mixture is given in a bulletin of the Ontario Agricultural college: Parts. Craoked wheat 26 Granulated oatmeal , 16 Millet seed 18 Email cracked corn 10 Bmall cracked pees - S Broken rice X Rape seed 1 Grit (chicken size) 10 Leg Weakness In Mature Fowls. Leg weakness in mature stock is also due to lack of exercise. This exercise can be supplied by scattering all the feed in deep litter and making the fowls cratch for all the feed they get Three parts wheat to one part each of oats and corn is about the right proportion. Beef scraps can be fed the year around two ounces to each fowl three times a week. Pet Stock Importations. The Feather says that a Pennsyl vania firm Is making large Importa tions of Hungarian partridges and German and Maltese pigeons. Hun garian partridges are about twice the 6lze of our everyday quails or bob whites, as commonly known. These were Imported for the game commis sioners of Illinois and Kansas; Why Hens Roost In Trees. Do your hens seem bound to leave the house and roost In a tree? Two things may account for it the house Jnay be too warm and poorly ventilat ed, or there may be too many other in habitants. Heat and vermin will drive hens out. PARISIAN DUELS. There Are Three Kinds Trick to Gain Time While Fighting. Duels are common enough in , France nowadays, but they are roh- Dea or. ineir picxuresque sme, wtyn the Household .Brigade Magazine. Thev may be divided into three i categories, which I place in the or der u l Lm;n xiciuciij va wv- rence journalists' duels, duels that are the outcome of a tongue too well hung or, lubricated by an over dose of alcohol, and, thirdly, those where the opponents are out to kill if they can. The above order also represents the degree of publicity accompanying each. Of those due to an ill considered or ill bred , remark comparatively few come to an interchange of shots or thrusts, - but fizzle out jal r an interchange of cards. Morning brings a more reasonable frame of mind, and things are quieted down by those unfortunate individuals who have been selected as seconds. When such encounters do take place at least one of the principals is only too desirous for privacy to be main tained, the safest .possible condi tions are arranged, and one only hears about the affair after it is all over. The materials for disagreement are usually a night restaurant and the one extra bottle which might have been dispensed with. Only recently a respectable married man found himself confronted in com bat by an unknown Argentine with whom he had apparently had a dis agreement the night before at a well known second rate cosmopol itan cafe much frequented between about 2 a. m. and breakfast time. Neither of the gentlemen knew quite what it was all about, but their seconds said it was all right, so they had to go through with it, and no harm was done. The third j type of duel is serious and very rare, it usually taKes tne lorm oi a row about a lady. There are a good many tricks t gain time in dueling. Dropping th sword is one, resting the point on the ground or making a wide parry so as to scrape the ground is anoth er. In either of these cases the point has to be sandpapered and treated with an antiseptic or held in a flame, so that there may be no risk of a wound being poisoned. With pistols the conditions are arranged according to the serious ness of the quarrel. As a rule, duel ing pistols at twenty-five paces are used. The dueling pistol is muzzle loaded and rifled. Its pull off is regulated by the circumstances; also the powder charge. Seconds often arrange to put m only surrl cient powder to drive the bullet out of the bore. Sometimes they drop the bullet into the left. hand when loading and hammer an imaginary one down the barrel. Sermon In a Few Words. We are very much impressed by something we saw and heard while passing along the street a few even ings since, jx young giri was stana , ing in front of a store, and near her, Iwith a hangdog expression on his 'face, was a young stripling of a youth. As we passed the two the girl said to the boy, ' Any one who speaks of my father as 'the old man' is not worthy of my respect." From the tone of her voice we knew that the girl spoke from the impulse of a moment, but there was a whole sermon in her utterance. We don't know the girl, but if she lives she will develop into a noble woman hood, and the world will be better for her having lived in it. And the boy, if he has any redeeming quali ties in him, will profit by the lesson given him in that one sentence. Burlington Chronicle. Show a Bad Example. A grocer who was noted for his carefulness had an advertisement inserted in a local newspaper for a message boy, and a young fellow who understood the kind of a gen tlemam who was advertising came to apply for the situation, and while the grocer was telling him how care ful he must be a fly settled on a bag of sugar, and the grocer caught it and threw it away. The boy then said: "If you want me to be careful you are showing me a bad exam ple." "Why?" replied the former. "Because," said the boy, "yon kave thrown that fly away without brushing the sugar off its feet." London Mail. Be Not Afraid. He has not learned the lesson of his life who does not every day sur mount a fear. If you have no faith in a beneficent power above yon, ,but see only an adamantine fate j coiling its folds about nature and Iman, then reflect that the best use of fate is to teach us courage. If you have no confidence in any for eign mind, then be brave because there is always one good opinion '. which must always be of importance to you namely, your own.-r-Ealph Waldo Emerson. ' .
