Anticipating the Spring Hatches.
My experience has been that the
nearer we keep to nature the better
success we have. I usually mate my
birds the latter part of February or
the first part of March, and commence
to set the eggs to hatch the last week
in March or the first week in April.
Even then, if the weather should be
very cold for the season, or stormy,
the chicks will have to have extra
care, or some will die from exposure
if allowed to run at large. Chicks
never do well if confined any great
length of time. The chicks must have
a great amount of exercise. The
mother hen should be confined, but
the chicks should have a free run.
The question is asked, "Are early
birds as good layers as those hatched
a little later and pushed forward?" 1
have never had facilities for hatching
and caring for chicks earlier in the
season than about April 1, but my
early birds were my best winter lay-
ers.
I find that the number of eggs
placed under a hen should not be too
large. I have used hens mostly for
hatching, and it is my experience that
1 can get a great many more chicks
with thirteen eggs under a hen than
with more. With thirteen eggs I have
sometimes had every egg hatch, while
with fifteen or sixteen I would get only
seven or eight chicks. Where there
are so many eggs, some of them are
not properly covered and they get
changed about and in that way half
the eggs will be spoiled.
I keep my sitting hens in a room
away from the others. Each one has
her nest and number, and is confined
on the nest, but is taken off, fed, wa-
tered and allowed a dust bath every
day. It is best to have the room not
very light, but well aired and dry.—

Turkeys in Winter.
Turkeys do best housed in a shed
partly open to the south. Board down
from the roof to four feet of the
ground and one foot up from ground,
covering remaining three feet with
netting to keep turkeys in during very
severe and very stormy weather.
Place perches high with ladder for
them to go up on. In open country
they get frosted in open trees and on
top of buildings, and warmish wet
weather, followed by cold snap, In-
jures them. Close confinement and
close houses for them to roost in
often causes roup and other diseases
of that character. Feed should be
given them in their shed only. They
will get considerable outside. The
Protected Feeder, placed about fifteen
to eighteen inches high, is the best
device for feeding them in. A gallon
bucket hung fifteen inches high is all
right for water. They require but
little attention after they get able to
fly. Before that time they must be
protected from rats, minks, etc. We
have lost very few. A few by minks
wjiile young, and a few by thieves
after they were grown. Roomy, well-
ventilated mink-proof coops are best
protection against former, and well
directed No. 10 shot against latter.—

The readers of thin paper will be pleased to learn
that there 1* at least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure In all Its stages, and that Is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken In-
ternally, acting dlrcctly upon the blood and iiiucouh
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and assist-
ing nature In doing Its work. The proprietors have
so much faith In Its curative powers that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that It falls to
cure. Send for list of testimonials,

Cement Floors in Poultry Houses.
Cement floors have not been very
popular with poultry raisers. Stone
and cement are very good transmit-
ters of heat, and in the winter the
cement floor very quickly takes on
the temperature of the ground below
it. The great thing to be said about
the cement floor is that it is clean.
If built it should be laid upon cinders
or some other material that will pre-
vent the temperature of the earth be-
ing transmitted to the cement. In
any case it should be covered with
cut straw in winter.
The race is not always to the swift,
as many a fast youth has discovered.

Every houseKeeper should Know tnax
if they will buy Defiance Cold Water
Starch for laundry use they will save
not only time, because It never sticks j
to the iron, but because each package [
contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while
all other Cold Water Starches are put
up in %-pound packages, and the price
is the same, 10 cents. Then again
because Defiance Starch is free from
all injurious chemicals. If your grocer
tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it
is because he has a stock on hand
which he wishes to dispose of before
he puts in Defiance. He knows that j
Defiance Starch has printed on every J
package in large letters and figures
"16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save
much time and money and the annoy-
ance of the iron sticking. Defiance
never sticks.
There can be no revercnce where j
Hiere is no respect.
