FINISHING FOWLS BY MACHINE. Wonder If cruel Nero told those Bomans how to fatten the goose when they burned oat the poor things' eyes, nailed Its wpitbed feet to a board and rammed chunks of feed down Its throat About as bad when Frenchmen fasten a chicken in a bos so It

can't move, only allow bead and tall to protrude, and stuff it there a month through a funnel. Nope! in this country we don't do as the Romans do. We fellows don't follow French fool fashions. At first fowls were fattened old fashioned, as some do now. Then came tedious hand cramming, by wWch dough bolls were forced down a fowl's throat. Then came the funnel fashion ; last and best, the fattening crate and cramming machine in 1800. Machine finishing generally puts the varnish on work of fattening crate. For about ten days fowls naturally eat greedily the paste of the crate trough. Then, eating less than they can digest and assimilate, they are crammed by machine for a week or more. The fowl Is taken. Its neck stretched straight, and It la drawn on to the feed tube until the tube reaches through gullet to crop. By pressure of foot on lever bar a plunger In reservoir forces the liquid feed through tube and fills crop. > With an assistant one man can cram 400 fowls an hour. Fowls are crammed about same bgvr twice a day and are kept In semi-

machine finished.

darkness and perfect quiet, as these are necessary for perfect finish. When finished they must be market- ■ ed at once or tbey go back. No water Is given, but charcoal and grit are furniebed. Cramming Mixture.— Fifty pounds of ground oats (no hulls), fifty pounds of buckwheat, fifty pounds of cornmeal, . three pounds of mutton tallow, five pounds of blood meal, one and one-half pounds of salt. Ingredients should be ground fine, be perfectly mixed and wet up to a cream with skim or buttermilk. This also makes a satisfactory paste for crate work. DON'TS. Don't rave at the wheat speculators and then demand three prices for a cnll rooster. That's old Slirlock ami f the pound of fiesb. • Don't criticise another man behind his back. If It Is necessary, point out his mistake, but be sure you're right or you may go nbcad sod get yout bead broke. Don't let slime accumulate In the water vessels nor sour feed In the duck drinking founts. Don't appoint an Investigating com- ' mlttee to discover why the squab business has gone to slump. Old Ananias and Sapphire did It with their tricks and gold bricks. Don't try to build up a thoroughbred flock by mating a ten dollar rooster to a crowd of calico colored culls. If s wasting cgowlng on the desert air. Don't stand off and look on the poultry Industry as a bughouse business. Does the Industry In which you are engaged add 1.000.000.000 honest do! Jars to Uncle Sam's annual report! Better look it up. Don't rip your fellow fancier up the back stiletto style nor curse him when he's off a mile. If he's rank tell him point blank. /

REUBEN'S CUM HUM AOtN. "The city. J 1st the place fur me." Bald Reube.i boy ooe day. '"There's where you And society. An' millions cum Fur way. I'm sick o piowln' this ole patch An' drlvin' mules all day. I wasn't born fur holn' corn. But fur the world to sway." So our Rube roosted on the fence An' dreamed of me Irln' millions. Which by etampedln* bulla an' bear# He'd eoon Incraue to billions. He'd be * wizard of fine nee. He'd make them Wall street fellers dance He'd make them kings of Europe prance An' put the hull world In e trance. One nlgbt be skipped. He left a not*. Hare are the partin' words he wrote: "Dear Pap— I ain't a-meanln' harm. Hot I'm dead nick of this ole farm. I'm go In' to be a millionaire An' occupy the White House chair. I'll soon send my big auto down To haul the bull crowd up to town." "All that glitters Is not gold"— At least that's what our parson told. I guess be meant them big gold bricks What town lakes sella to us rustidka. An' so I told Matlldy Jans Our Rubs would find it list the same. Instead of wrltln" a big check He'd ketch It squarely In the neck. Jlst sol One night ws beard a rap Out on the kitchen door, 1 An' there, stood Rube, our Rube, hlsself. Thin, weary an" footsore. He list lumped Into mammy's arms. Then shouted: "Pap, don't sell the farms! 1 I've got enough of the city. It ain't what It'a cracked up to be." C. M. B. CLEAN OUT THE CULLB. Too can't afford to keep calls, except i to finish them and make potple or rush , them to market How glad we are , to fcet onr flock down to where we can , , say, "Every bird's a good one." Then ' 1 there is no feed, room and labor wasted and no visiting fancier can say: "Sokes ' alive! How can you afford to rlskl' your reputation and loee money keeping such mats?' They not only spoil ,1 the appearance of the flock, are bad . breeders, poor layers and nonpayere. bat are mostly weaklings that are first to get disease and endanger the j rest 1 Make your flock representative, paying and pretty by culling ont the rants, the birds with crooked backs, breastbones, toes aud talis. Get rid of those 1 with poor sight and longs, sagging crops, slipped wings, cross beaks and ' knockknees. ; Sell .the long legged, gawky males and the long necked, narrow backed, an- , gatnly pullets. If- you are breeding ( thoroughbred stock do away with the fowls that L>t off Id shape, plamage 1 and have gross defects. Keep just enough males for breeding and prospective (rude and push stock to market as 'tis the early bird catches the ' big, fat price. FEATHERS AND EGG8HELL8. A New Jersey poultryman was mystified by (he great mortality among his chicks. Many of them had limber necks and showed symptoms of poison. ' At last he discovered a dead setter 1 that had crept in among some high elders and died there. A fiendish dog poisoner bad been doing the dogs In town. Chlckweed Is an awful nuisance In , a garden, but It's a fine thing In a 1 chicken's crop. Turn chickens looee j on it save labor and get more chicken to fry. With so many Irons In the fire a ] ; fancier often forgets that the lice and j scaly leg parasites are getting In their j ' I work on the qnlet Make It hot for 1 tbem these hot days, when they In- 1 1 crease so rapidly. , We do not hear poultrymen com- j j plaining of luck of work these days. ( A number of tbe very large plants ad- \ ' vertlse for men and are willing to take j on capable men who wis b to learn the 11 business. Yes. It's fowl work, but the ! pay Is fair , Just three years ago eggs in Fair- 1 banks. Alaska, were sold at $3 per 1 1 dozen anil were dragged 400 miles j over the trail. Today they are pro- i , , duclng their own eggs cheap, and half t | a fried chicken costs but 75 cents. 1 . i How's that for bustling the hen? I The erection of a fire foot poultry | fence around our place Insures our 1 1 neighbors from being disturbed by our 1 • chickens, keeps their fowls from us, 1 ' and dogs are kept at bay. A good j 1 fence Is a good defense. Eight hundred little chickens and 1 1 1,500 eggs were roasted in a brooder I house at Vineland, N. J. Another New I , Jersey fancier had an 80 by 12 build- 1 j Ing torn 'to pieces and his chickens kill- j ( ed by a cyclone. When a Baltimore fancier's place caug.it fire be turned , ' his chickens into the street and saved ' 400 of t bem. •• In hot weather fowls, like people, do! 1 not ueed so much to eat.

When your cbickeus' feathers appear : as If eateu. especially on wing and | breast, you may conclude that It Is ; the mysterious depluming mite. Douse powders do not kill it, and about the only destroyer Is sheep dip. i The Installation of wireless telegraphy Is driving out the pigeon as bear- ! er of messages on warships. The Inj crease of interest In pigeon racing will keep up the pigeon population. Dried lawn clippings for winter feeding amount to little unless containing white clover. To cure properely let It He In the sun until about two-thirds dry and then hang It up In sacks to finish. A Pen Mar (Maryland and Pennsylvania) duck breeder gathered 30,000 duck eggs since Christmas and shipped L800 pounds of feathers to market. Another breeder reports 88.000 eggs 1 for the season.

Early in tbe aferooon tbe players began to arrive and far.'more than an .hour busses and auomobilei were busy bringing |tbe ladies of lbs cottage and hotel. colony. The parlor and porch were filled with tables and grouped around them Jin animated 'discussion and play were tbe ehte'ol Ospe May's feminine summer visitors I There were 138 ladies present and prises were awarded to tbe winners by tbe patronesses of each table. It was : undoubtedly tbe leading social event 1 of tbe season and much credit is due ' tbe committee for the skill '.of their 1 perfect arrangements. J J. G. Vilaack, a new member of the ! dub tried the course for the first time | today. . ~R~ W. Harvey played in the afterI noon with Mr. Trump who took out a 1 day's card introduced by Mr. G. W. i Boyd. G. H. Parr tried out W. M. Alien. He reports Ailen as going quite well but has hardly improved enough to hope to defeat such a crack as he. \ Allen hopes to keep Parr in this frame , of mind so that he can surprise him. Tbe lords of creation were present 1 too but not on tbe porch. Each one lie arrived after a'hasty glance at 1 the youth and beauty grouped in tbe club bouse, hastily donned bis golfing ; costume and immediately sought safety , in the silence and solitude of tbe links. Wm. Welsh arrived early for his . match with tbe Ooionel. As tbe damp weather affected tbe Colonel's gout be was off his game and Mr. Welsh won with ease. F. b. Shephard tiring of [such easy victims essayed a more difficult task when he undertook [to trim S. Eastman. Ab Eastman is playing in championship form at present tbe trimming process was not a success. That veteran golfer, J. F. Black, brought up J. 0. Hinckson and played him a very close match. Howard Keliey is one of the new devotees of the game. He has recently secured a new kit from Dougherty and is practicing daily at the noon hour j when the course is free from observers, i Mr. Kelly wants to pertect himself I in the game and surprise his friend, G. Boyd at an early date. S. Bispham took on L. Smith for a I match in the morning. Smith had to seek a new partner because' of his new | t cations and discoveries from the i Orient. W. C. Eglin took out a day's card | and played around with W. H. HulingH. Mr. Hulings is becoming quite a regular in hia visits to the links,. Miss Smith had the .honor of being j the only lady playing in the afternoon. W. L. Allen and T. M. Allen showed they are still in winning form by trim- i mtng S.
