Walker, a Presbyterian clergyman, has resigned his church at Campbell’s park, Chicago, because he is afraid of starvation if he con- tInues incharge of the pulpit. salary. He} has waited and waited in vain for THE CHICKEN BUSINESS. flow It Can Be Made a Never-Failing Source of Income. Imade some practical experiments fast win'er of considerable value, I think, in regard to hens. place, I wish to say that it is simply a shame that more attention is not paid to the chicken business in this country. If properly attended to it is one of the most profitrble branches of farm in- dustry, but it is shamefully negiected. | Every kernel of corn that is fed to hens is considered wasted. The hens are poorly cared for, improperly shel- tered, and the result is that they are uncomforteble: They freez: their feet and nearly sfarve to dea h during winter. The result isy that “it takes’ them until the middle of May to re- cruit sufficien'ly to-be. in comlition to lay. Hens kept‘in this way are truly unprofitable. There is no portion of this country that is tov cold-for profit- able chicken culture. This is demon- strated by the fact that we import near- ly two million dollars’ worth of eggs annually from Canada A great deal has been said about fish and fisheries, while in fact the value of eggs im- ported from Canada every y'ar ex- ceeds that of fish by more than $800,- C00. This should not be. We ought not to import a single egg from Canada. Another thing of special wonder to me is that so few farmers appreciate what possibilities there-are in raising spring chickens for early market. They are always eagerly sought after and are invariably profitable. Chick- ens must be kept warm. Give the hen-house a southern ¢xposure, and put in plenty of good sash to still further increase the warmth. Do not leave cracks to admit the snow and wind. If you find that the sun will not be sufficient to warm the house, a small coal oil stove will pay hand- somely. The cost of running this is so small compared with the profit that will accrue, that it does not pay to hesitate on that point. In thesummer the sashes can either be removed and slats substituted, or the glass can be covered with white- wash or a curtain to keep out the direct rays of the sun. A poultry house should be cleaned out once a fortnight and whitewashed once in six weeks at the farthest. There is no other way to be certain of keeping out lice, and making sure that the hens will be healthy. The best roosts are light trestles about eighteen inches high. These can be made of inch strips about four feet long, and as may as are neces- sary. It is not best to have roosts too high. The roosts should be made mov- able for convenience in cleaning. Above all things care should be taken with the nests, Fresh straw should be put in whenever the house is cleaned. Some may obj-ct that all this is a matter of trouble. So is any thing that brings profit on the farm. The stables are cleaned every day. It is not a difficult or along task to clean achicken house. The | principal thing is to get in the wav of doing it as other chores are done. There is no half way that is worth doing in the chicken bus- iness, Either a considerable brood should be kept and proper care given them, and thus make them pay, or none at all should be kept.—Cor. Ohio Farmer. ——~«e A man who has practiced medicine to - 40 years ought to know salt trom sug’ ,, read what he says: Toledo, O., Jan. 10.— Messrs. F. J.
