But when he got here. |fftr he found that the importation of K; goats from Turkey, Greece or France, 1 R is forbidden, and while Matfetu wn 1 admitted, Billy was kept out.

This Indigestion caused palpitation of the heart so badly I could not walk up a flight of stairs without sitting down once or twice to regain breath and strength.

To start right we must hare some good hens and let us make a close study of the various breeds and see which one would be the best adapted to the purposes that wo desire to use them for. In the first place there are some breeds that are adapted to but one purpose, and that Is laying eggs; among these breeds we find that the nnnHpv_mon ' tan cuu iuwuiiorraneaii | breeds, Buch as the Leghorns, Minorcas, Hamburgs and others. Now, these are very good breeds, hut what we are after is a hen that will Bit and hatch us soino nice young chickens and take care of them In the best shape. We also want to select a breed that will be ideal for market, one that will mature early, have a nice clean color; they must he good layers; lay goodBized eggs; active enough to be good rustlers after grasshoppers and worms; be good sitters and mothers; easily tamed and handled, and a breed that will bear confinement well. There are many excellent breeds for this class found among what the poultrymen call the American breeds. These breeds are what we call a general-purpose fowl, that is, they are adapted to the farm or to the poultryman who does not make a specialty of any one branch of the business. The Plymouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds, the Wyandottes, and other breeds belong to this class. The Bralimas, Cochins, Langshans and others of the large breeds of the Asiatic class are not as good layers as the smaller breeds; they are more inclined to be broody, and. as a rule, are not as good rustlers as the American breeds, and for that reason I would not advise you to select your foundation stock from that kind of breeding. When we look the field all over, there is no breed that stands preeminently at the head of the utility class like the Plymouth Rocks, and I do not believe that we would go wrong if we selected onr stock from lome good flock of that breed. Some will say, why not try WyanSottes? They are good fowls, but they are somewhat lighter than the Plymouth Rocks, and that is against them competing with the Rocks; they lay smaller eggs, which is also against them. Some will say eggs sell by the Sozen, so what's the difference? But let me tell you when you sell your eggs to your customers they like good, big, fresh eggs, and you will get more money for that kind than Fou can for little, under-sized eggs. I haVO lftflmpH thftt lorirn ?""" ??? the best to suit the private customer Bvery time, and they are the ones for roil to sell your eggs to. The Plymouth Rocks lay good-sized eggs that are of a nice shape and color. Of the various breeds of Rocks, 1 would choose the White Rocks, as it is easier to breed them true to color; they dress very clean and white when killed for market. A flock of this breed when carefully bred and handled are a credit to any poultry-man, no matter how young or how old he may be. The Buff Rocks and the Barred Rocks are excellent fowls and are fully as good in many respects as the White Rocks, but you will find It much easier to breed birds of a solid color and keep them true to type and markings than to breed the colored breeds. We must have a chicken that will grow fast and mature early and for this purpose 1 know of no breed superior to the White Rocks. They have a plump body and are attractive in the market and when full grown it has the weight that makes it bring home the money that It cost to grow it. The cockerelB that are to be sold tn the fall make quite an Important Item for us to consider, and the White RockB cannot be excelled In this point. When the hens are too old to keep for egg-producing purposes. It Is quite an Important Item to have them weigh six to eight pounds and sell for ten cents a pound. There Is an increasing demand for dressed fowls, and If you have egg- : customers, you should be able to make arrangements to supply them j with dressed poultry whenever or- i dered, and get the top price for your! surplus stock. The Rocks are good sitters, kind mothers and will raise more chickens than any other breed that we have : ever experimented with. We should select our hens from some good flock that is well bred, and where the hcnB have a uniform j Poultry Note*. i Do not feed the pullets until they , will have no ambition to forage. Turning the soli of the poultry 1 yard once a year destroys the gape I worm, and guards against the germs of other diseases which often find lodgment on the surface. One objection to feeding mash to ! the hens at night is that it is so read- 1 lly assimilated that the digestive organs are emptied before morning, and bodily heat is not maintained. appearance, and then buy a flrstclass rooster from Bome breeder who has a different strain of the same breed, so as to avoid Inbreeding. The best rooster that can bo found for what you can afford to pay should be selected. It is easy to grade ?p a flock to good hens, by using the beBt roosters every year and selling all of the pullets that are not up to the breod standard. After you get started, subscribe for some good farm or poultry paper and keep up with the times. There Is much pleasure and profit in studying the business and in excelling in some special line, when others have failed, ?Farm World. Convenient Hencoops. As poultry houses on farms have to be repaired often as a general rule, | would it not bo better to build more subsantlal ones at first and save the trouble and expense of continually improving them? Let us consider I this matter. The carpenter usually thinks that any kind of wood will do for a hi-nhouse, and in that he is much mistaken. Only the well seasoned wood should be used, for when the damp days arrive, the house having no heat in It, the boards will shrink and expand until they are out of shape more or less, and then there are cracks to contend with. Use the best wood In the first place. Another point worth considering is | that of planing the boards thet are ' Coop With Sliding Doors. to be used on the inside of the house. It will take very little more time, and they are then easily cleaned and do not harbor dust as much as if they were rough. If they are smooth they can be easily whitewashed or painted. The main point to consider in building a henhouse is that of removable roosts, nests and even the floor boards if there is to be a board floor. Make all these appliances of smooth board or wood, and when they are dirty or the farmer wishes to clean hi? poultry house they can be taken out into the yard and sprayed, washed or even burned over with a torch. Consider all these things now, and in the end they will be much more economical. The first sketch shows a convenient way to make a coop for the poultry yard, of which a special feature is its door. Procure a box of the right dimensions and saw a hole, d. in one end. Then strengthen the box A Box Coop. with narrow strips of wood, b c on each side of the hole b c. This acts as a groove for the door a to slide In. Thus you have a sliding door, which opens and shuts with the greatest ease. The front of the coop is inclosed with lath or narrow strips, placed two and a half to three inches apart. The top should be covered with a good grade of roofing paper to make it waterproof. A coop of this sort should be two to two and a half feet long, sixteen inches deep and not less than twenty inches high, while two feet would be better. The simplest coop is the common A-shaped coop. It is quickly and easily made. This coop may be constructed either with or without a floor. A floor is desirable, except during warm weather and where the son drains quickly. The box coop shown In the second sketch in some respects is preferable to the A-shaped coop, for in the latter the hen can stand upright only near the middle of the coop, while with the box coop the entire floor space is available for her and the chickens. The box coop is also more easily cleaned. If desired a small covered run can be made for each coop. This is especially desirable If there is danger of losses from cats, hawks, etc. Fresh air is essential for the health of the fowls. A successful poultry raiser says: "One of my poultry houses is lathed and plastered, while another is single boarded with paper lining on two sides. It has four half windows on south side and a frame fitted over each \yindow with cloth stretched and tacked on. In this house I have been getting the most eggs and no frozen combs, although the drinking water freezes. The plastered house drew dampness until I had an old screen door hung and tacked cotton cloth over it. Soon after the hens began to lay."?Weekly Witness.

A sprayer that will force kerosene into all the cracks of the poultry house is better than a brush. Cottonseed meal should not be fed to the chickens in larger quantities, as it has a tendency to constipate the fowls. Texas is credited with having more turkeys than any other State in the Union. If you allow eggs for setting to stand around for two weeks before putting them under the hen, do not blame the dealer if they do not hatch.
