FEW FACTS ABOUT POULTRY
MAKING PROFIT IN LEGHORNS
Teacher of Dramatic Art—The very
first thing Is to give the scholar a
graceful bearing—to teach him how
to walk.
Student—Well, er—er—I don't ex-
pect to join that kind of a company.
Musician Wanted.
In a parish In Wales where very lit-
tle English was spoken a general
meeting was held to consider the de-
sirabl ity of putting a chandelier Into
the schoolroom. Every one seemed In
favor of the idea.
"Do you think we ought to have one,
Mr. Davis?" said the schoolmaster
a venerable parishoner.
"1 agree to It," was the reply; "bu\
there is one thing I wish to know. If
we have a—a—"
"Chandelier," said the schoolmas-
ter, helping him out.
"If we have a chandelier," the old
man continued, "who Is going to play
It?"
Egg Productiveness More Than Off-
sets Any Advantage Other Breeds
Have in Flesh.
Twenty-five years ago I began breed
(ng tua Leghorn anil have kept this
breed ever since. Although I have tried
many other kinds side by side. One of
the most serious objections I find to
the large brown egg breeds .s the dts
position to sit. When one has 400 or
500 hens ot American or Asiatic breeds

THE TEA PENALTY.
'A Strong Man's Experience
Writing from a busy railroad town
the wife of an employe of one of the
great roads says:
"My husband is a railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
It has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
"He has been a great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked it
strong.
"Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not Bleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn-
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste of
It, and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then, a3 he grew better, he began to
drink it for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
"His condition is so wonderfully Im-
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep Is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet.
"Hin brother, who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
by us to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Ihen In the Leghorn houses cannot find
more than three or tc.ur. It doe? not
take long to get disgusted says a
writer in the Agriculturist American
breeds do not mature as quickly, and
one must set eggs which sell In the
market at 40 to 50 cents In order to
get early pullets by lay'ng time in
October
People say that a Plymouth Rork
fowl makes a good roast, but If eg?s
of Leghorn breeds and those of the
Plymouth Rock varieties are set the
same day, the Leghorn fowls will lay
when the eggs are high, so that a
uozen will pay tor more tnan enounh
to of,set an advance In what the car
cass would bring
Again, the Leghorns are longer
lived as a paying investment, for even
at four or five years of,age they will
be profitable as egg producers, while
a Plymont' Rock will become too fat
after the second molt to be profitable
as a layer The Leghorn eg;,s are very
even in color, large and white; In fact
the largest. I have fowls whose eg'-rs
weigh two pounds to the dozen, ordi-
nary brown eggs will weigh from a
pound and six ounces to a pound and
eight ounces; not only this, but Leg
horn eggs can be produced for less
money. My experience Is that six cents
for white and ten cents or more for
brown eggs is about the usual run.
Vigor Inherited.
The natural inheritance of all fowls
Is constitutional vigor, provided, of
ccurse, they are not enfeebled by In-
judicious breeding Constitutional vig-
or can be maintained and brought
about by choosing the strongest,
healthiest and hardiest of the siock
for breeuers every spring and by kill-
ing off the weak and sickly ones in
the fall The Introduction of fresh
blood frequently not only keeps up the
stamina, health and vigor o stock, but
It also enables mem to resist sickness
and sudden changes ot weather much
better than fowls closely and contin-
ually Inbred, or lowis not bred to any
oegree of constitutional excellence, or
selecte- for establishing any perma-
nent quality.
Quality of th« Eggs Greatly Depend* (
on the Food Given—French Use
Spices in Fattening.
Eggs may differ materially In color,
and yet may not differ much in nu-
triment Again, they may differ large-
ly in nutriment, when, for instance,
they are neglected or poorly fed or
when thiy eat filth damaged grain
or tainted meat. The crop and gizzard
of a hen cannot translorm Imp.ne food
into pure food products. The real value
of an egg tor food lies Inside the shell,
and Is not Indicated by color of shell,
says the American Cultivator
In France they mix spices and herbs
with the food given to fatiening poul-
try. which are said to impart a dell-
clous flavor to the meat
Fowls Intended to be killed should
not only be confined in a coop for 24
hours without food, but should be sup-
plied with plenty of drinking water,
which adds to the cleanness of the In- I
tes-tlnes
If a drawn carcass has any distance \
to go. It may mold inside; or if a
My does not "blow" In It. there Is a '
large exposed surface hidden from i
sight which may become Intected by j
some means during transit If moldy, j
sour or fly blown, it is no longer sal- j
able, at least for anything like a fair j
price, and it Is not safe as food
A poultry lecturer In Scotland some
years ago, In an address on the rear- I
ng and general management of chick- j
ens. said on the subject of food he j
would give a "wrinkle" worth Its
weight In gold At three days old the
chickens were qualified to eat pretty
nearly anything, but he . warned them j
against the practice of feeding the j
fhickens on soaked bread They should [
adopt the following plan Fill the lit-
tle linen bag half t"!l of rice, put it j
into water and let It <>oiI live minutes ;
I'hey should then withdraw the bag j
and let the water drain away and
ihey would find the rice whole anil
separated a handlul of oatmeal should
he mixed with the rice and It would
absorb nil the moisture This the
chickens should be allowed to pick up
for themselves but they should nut
have too much
As the duck has no crop. It does
not assimilate and thrive on whole
grain.
