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."

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
