’ r_.—fi‘l 4 Old People POULTRY FARMING A DIVERSI+ FIED INDUSTRY. H. R. LEWIS, W. 3 Asgricultural Experiment Station. No branch of our present agricultur- al devélo‘pment offers greater latitude in diversity of effort than poultry hus- bandry. It is made up of so many dif- ferent branches and has so many dif- ferent sources of income that the be- ginner may select the line which. will ‘best it his particualr conditions. Be- fore selecting or developing any branch of work a careful study of market - conditions and features of lo- tion must be high class market poultry. Jem, then, is to choose a line of pro- duction and by improved methods pro- duce high quality, and no anxiety need be felt over the distribution. The most profitable and easily man- branch of pouliry production is arket egss, the aim being to so hatch tear and manage birds that a maxi- #um of eggs are produced during winter, when prices are high. The re- quisites are strong, vigorous pullets, hatched during April and reared on free range and given in winter plenty of good food aad a congenial environ- ment. The latter necessitates plenty of room, an abundance of sunlight and fresh air, together with entire free- dom from moisture. Eggs command- ing ces_are infertile—that is male should be kept from the pens except during breeding season. Capons and Day Old Chicks. Next in order of possibilities comes production of market poultry, such as broilers, roasters, capons and fowls. Broilers may be produced as a side line or as specialized business, prefera- bly the former. ‘which i ing of pullets may be marketed young as broflers or kept until fall and sold | as roasting chickens. With the lighter breeds the former method usually brings the best returns, while in the case of the American and _Asiatic breeds it will often be much more profitable to hold them for roasting. The advantages of capon production are larger and heavier birds at killing time, a sweeter and finer flavored meat and 2 much higher selling vaiue, to- =ether with a lower cost of produc- ton. The day oid chick business offers ex- ceptional opportmmities to the man with 2 small piecs of land, and cus- tom hatehing is one of the modern de- velopments of the past decade. Possibilities in raising of breeding stock and in_production of batching eges are Timitless. Success depends upon guality and ability to advertise. APPLES AND PEACHES; WHERE AND HOW TO GROW THEM. _ Necessary Locations and Soils. A. A. GULLEY, College of Agri, Storrs, Conn. Northeastern siates offer innumera- ble satisfactory locations for the growing of apples and peaches, and the former in most of its varieties will make a congenial homs in almost any spot in which one might choose to lve, except in the very mountainous districts. In picking out land for fruit grow- ing bear In mind that apples, pears and peaches are bulky; therefore near- ness to transportation facilities is most important. On the other hand, where capital is limited, land farther from market costs less and, as far as the fruit is comcerned, may be just as de- sirable. Wherever chosen the land should have a fair elevation, not on top of a high hill exposed to strong winds, nor yet in the bottom of a narrow valley, but gently sloping hill- sides are ideal, and the direction is of slight importance. The choice will often lie between rough or rocky flelds costing but little or those much easier to caltivate and =m0 more expensive at the start The laiter are, as a rule, cheaper to handle as time goes on, but soocess may be had from either. spot is chosen it should be | naturally or easily drained, for water must never stand near the surface in an The appie allows 2 wide latitnde in the matter of soll, and some varie- fies will grow on zimost any snamy eo ealled run out farms can Toadily be fitted for fruit growing.

KATE ST. MAUR. Can a family make a comfortable living on a small farm? Yes, most emphatically yes, if they possess ordinary common sense and industry. My own personal experience is an undeniable demonstration of that fact. I started on a rented place with really no capital, as a business disas- ter had swallowed up all our savings, so that 1 know what it is to commence at the very bottom of the ladder. The place we found was an old fash- ioned homestead. There were two large barns, corncrib, toolhouse and several odd sheds. It was really a farm of 180 acres, but the owner let us have the-house and twelve acres, including the orchard for $15 a month, on a three years’ lease, with the privi- lege of taking over the additional 168 acres at any time during our temancy for an additional $8 a month, with the option of purchase. Stook Bought From Savings. Stock had to be bought in small lots, as I saved money from our living ex- peunses at first. So I bought a few old hens—broody ladies that wanted to set and raised forty-eight chickens the first summer. The old hens had cost $10; extra eggs for setting, $5; feed $4. And on the credit side there were ninely chickens sold as broilers, which brought §22, fifty-eight young pullets kept for stock and all the eggs we wanted for our own table. From a trio of ducks bought early in the spring I sold sixteen young ones when nine weeks old for $7.92. In Novem- ber of the same year thirty more were sold and twelve retained for stock, I can’t give the exact cost of feeding because no separate acount was Kkept, bat certainly $20 would cover it. The ©ld birds cost $4.50, so the profit on ;(1313 investmeni amounted to nearly The apple-orchard was in a very badly neglected condition, but still we Tealized $180 from sales in the fall, and our vegetable garden supplied our own needs and furnished a bounti- ful supply for pickling, preserving and canning for winter. Having a balance on the right side of the ledger, we built a new chicken house and bought a cow. The place was entirely self supporting by the eighteenth month, and from that time on stock grew so rapidly that it seemed advisable to take on the rest of the land and raise all our own feed for the stock. | _The great secret in starting on a small place, is, I think to commence with poultry, garden and berry fruits and gradually increase stock and crop Taising operations, as success and market, to say nothing of your own perience, makes growth feasible. DEVELOPING THE DAIRY CALF. Raising the Future Milker. E. K. PARKINSON. The development of a dairy calf should begin in the sire and dam back several generations. To jllustrate, if there is land enough to keep a cow and money being distinctly an object it is decided fo buy a heifer calf and Taise it. With this end in view the milkman or butcher is interviewed, and, being an obliging chap, he finds a pretty little bossy, drops $10 into his | Pocket and_the prospective milker is | installed. For two years the beast is fed, peticd ‘and waiched over and at last the eventful day arrives, ‘when, with new milk pail in hand, the fam- fl){ gather in the barn to watch the milking—the result, about elght quarts daily. At first that sounds very well. but wait a moment. The Massachu- setts Agricultural college has found the keep of a cow (feed, insurance, taxes, depreciation, etc.) costs $146.04 I per year, so let us do some figuring: | Bignt quarts for 300 days (the cow be- ing dry two months vearly) give 2,400 quarts, which if sold at 6 cents Der quart would return $144, a loss of $2.04—not quite what we had reckon- ed on is it? How To Feed. Therefore a future dairy cow should come from a line of good milkers—at least, on the sire’s side—and will cost as a’calf about $25, but the money is well expended, and the calf once purchased the importance of spending thought as well as feed in its develop- ment should not be forgotten, espe- cially during the first six months. Feed new milk the first two or three ‘Wweeks, four to six quarts daily divid- ed info three feeds then gradually substitute skimmilk and continue so to feed until six months old. Skim- mili and well cured hay, alfaifa or clover fed three times daily should make the bulky part of the ration. Silage may take the place of one feed of hay when three months old and may be fed twice daily after six months. In addifon to bulky feed, the calf requires grain to furnish nu- triment and stimulate growth. Feod little at first, about a half a pound a | day in a clean, wooden box, and grad- uvally increase until two pounds are given. A good mixture consists of cornmeal, ground oats and whaet bran in equal parts and a half part of iin- seed meal. Feed the spring calf in the barn the first summer and when a year old turn her into a good pas- ture, when no other food will be re- quired. Fall calves should mnot be obliged to depend entirely on pasture untll eighteen months old. Keep the eifer growing, feed her wel not fatten her. R s A Leaders in Egg Laying Contest.

THE OLD BLACK BULL, The settlement of Colchester was about 1701. It was then in the limits of Hartford county and was commonly called “The P on of the Twenty Mile River.” Rev. John Bulkley, Samuel Gil- bert, Michael Taintor,”Samuel Nathan, John Adams; Joseph Pomeroy and John Loomis were the principal men in_the early settlement. In the early eighteen hundreds the town contained the Congregational and one Baptist church. Bacon Academy and = school for colored children. The Academy was free to town pupils and very reasonable to outside scholars. The Academy was named for its foun- der and benefactor, Pierpont Bacon, who left it $35,000 in funds. It was at that time one of the best acad- emys in that state. It had an av- erage attendance of 200 pupils under five teachers. Colchester was also not- ed for its iron ore bed; a bed of the very best quality was said to lie about a mile north west of the Congregation- al ch urch. Rev. John Bulkley the first minister of the town; graduated from Harvard in 1699; was ordained Dec. 20, 1703 and died in 1731. He was a very brilliant scholar and noted for his good judg- ment. The following story has been handed down to us in the annalg of nearly two hundred years, and it shows us how much his good judg- ment was appreciated: “The Rev. Mr, Bulkley of Colchester, Conn., was famous in his day as a casuist and sage counselor. A neigh- boring church had fallen into unhappy divisions and contentions which they were unable to settle among them- selves. They deputed one of their number to the venerable Bulkley for his services with the request tl he should send advice to them in writing. The matter was taken into much con- sideration and the advice after long deliberation was committed in writing. Mr. Bulkley owned & farm in a distant part of the town on which he entrust- ed a tenant. He wrote him at the same time, and it 80 happened that in subscribing the letters the one to the tenant was addressed to the church and the one to the church was addres- sed to the tenant. The church was crowded to hear the strong and you will of the Old Black Bull™ This mystical advice puzaled church at first but an interpreter was found among the more discerning ones, who said: “Bretheren, this is the very advice we needed. The direction to repair the fences is to admolish us to take good heed in the administration and gov- ernment of our members; We must guard the church by our Master’'s laws and keep out strange cattle from the fold. And we must in a particular, manner set a watchful guard over the Devil—the Old Black Bull, who has done us so much hurt of late All percelved the wisdom and fitness of Mr, Bulkley's n‘.dvi%% and rel:;‘;;:l; to be governed by it. e conseq was d‘x:t all animosities subsided and harmony was restored to the long af- ficted church. What the subject of the letter was sent to the tenant, and what effect it bad on him history does not say. The inscription is on his monument in the Colchester cemetery: “The Hon'ble John Bulkley Esq. of Colchester who for a number of years was a great honor to an uncommon variety of exalted Stations in life. Morte Subitanea Corripuit. Julii 21 A. D., 1758, Anno. Ae tatis Suae 49. Beloved and fear'd for Vertues' Baks Such vertue as the great doth make’ Mr. Bulkley was a lawyer and phy- sician as well as a theologian. Another famous man of Colchester was one Jonoathan Kilburn, an in- ventor who lived about one mile south of the academy. He was a very in- genius mechanic. He invented the iron screw, but unfortunately, he ad- mitted an Englishman to his shop, who stole the proper dimensions, and going to England claimed is as his own in- vention. - The following inscription, some eighty years ago, was recorded as be- ing on his tombstone. ¥ “In memory of Jonathan Kilburn Fsq. who departed this life Oct. 14, 1785, aged 79 years. 3 He was a man of invention great above all that liveth nigh But he could not invent to I God called him to die.” SUSAN JEWTT HOWE.

Philadelphia, Jan. 28.—Appointment of an examiner to take testimony and the limiting of time in which to sub- mit evidence in the suit of the govern- ment to dissolve the coal trust were incorporated in a decree filed by Judge Gray in the United States appellate court today. 4 Suits were started several years ago by the government against the Read- ing company, its subsidiary concerns, and a number of other railroads and coal companies declared by the gov- ernment to be in a combine to regu- Jate the production and output of coal in the anthracite region, but these were withdrawn so that the govern- ment could be more specific in its al- legations of conspiracy and monopoly. Last October new suits were filed in the district court, and today Judge Gray appointed Charles H. Guilbert as special examiner to take testimony and to submit the transcribed notes to the court not later than May 23. It is also stipulated in the order that the government shall conclude the sub- mission of testimony not later than March 10, and that the defendants shall have furnished all proofs not later than April 24.

New York, Fan. 28.—Timothy Kenne- dy, treasurer of the Mail Wagon Chauffeurs’ union and one of the 15 chauffeurs now on trial in the federal district court for conspiracy to ob- strus the mails during a strike last October, testified today that all the funds of the union, amounting to $1,- 014, had been used in rellef of the striking chauffeurs, instead of being used in part for hiring gunmen to at- tack strikebreakers, as witnesses for the prosecution had testified. Asked why he had drawn the money so quickly, the defendant said he had | been afraid to make many trips to the bank because of gunmen who were at- tacking the strikers.

She will bring suit for the support of her child, of which she claims Julius is the father. A preliminary hearing was held and Rosia held for further hear- ing under bonds. New York, Jan. 28.—A Scotch collie’s fondness for a seven months’ old baby | is believed today to have been the in- direct cause of the child’'s death by drowning in the bathtub of a Bronx borough home late last night. At the inguest today into the death of the infant, Gladys Leak, it developed that the baby had been left alone in the house by her woman guardian with only the dog for company, the precau- tion taken for the little one's safety being to place her in the bathtub, well cushioned with blankets and pillows. The collie, it is believed, pressed its paw on the spigot handle when peering into the tub to look at its baby friend, starting the water running. The baby was found drowned in the water-filled tub when the caretaker returned. Steamers Reported by Wireless, Cape Race, Jan. 28.—S 1,290 miles east of Sandy Hoo unday. Steamer Cam- 20 a, m.
