\ this excellent Journal.

q regard to moisture and ventil4Uon
will say this in my opinion
i the stumbling block to successil

I supplied moisture with varying
Iccess, I now use no moisture at

crowded.
For the pouftryruan that raises
a great man; chickeus 1 use aud
advise "indoor brooders." 1 have
a brooder bouse built for the
special purpose. The inside runs
are 3x5 feet; floor kept well cov
ered with chaff. The outside runs
are 5x60 feet, sown in grass.
When weather is not too severe.
1 see that, chicks go out lb the
open air each day, if for only a
few minutes, as my experience is
that chicks do much better when
they get out-door exercise. I use
hot air brooders, heated by a
lamp, and know of no reason why
they should be any more dangerous,
as regards fire, than any
house lamp. My poultry buildings
are insured, and the rate is
no greater than my other bdildings
which are insured.
The best time to start incubators,
if broilers are wanted, is
about December 1st to 10th, then
hatch comes off by January 1st.
The demand for broilers begins
about March 15th. This gives us 10
weeks, ample time, if we force
them (artificial raised chicks
should be forced). To get theui
to broiler weights 1? to 14 lbs.,
use the large breeds of fowls for
broilers. To average the cost of a
chick when first hatched is a lita
i ? J: m 14 ? : - - .r
tie unucuii, ih price ui eggs mull
be taken into consideration.
However, I can be bent under
stood by this illustration : We
will say we start incubator, 200
sgg size, Dec. 1st; eggs to-day are
worth 25 cents per dozen ; we put
in 16$ dozen eggs, valued at $4 17.
Now, say it takes three gallons of
oil to run incufiator for three
weeks at 15cents per gallon?45c.
Eggs, $4. 17; oil, 45c.?$4.62. Say
we get a 60 per cent. fc,atoh or 120
chickons at a cost of $1.62, labor
not iucluded, the average cost of
each chick is a trifle over .'1 4 5
cents each. I raised over 2,700
broilers in early Spring of 1898
and find they cost me about 17
rente each. J received an average
of 23$ cents each for them.
My average hatch in 1008, with
incubators and no moisture supplied,
was 79 per cent. I hail a
hatch come oil'to-day. 3an. 11, '99,
ol DU per cent. This I consider
an extra good hatch. I find, as a
rule, the longer 1 use incubator*
the more familiar 1 become with
them, and the hotter hatches I
get.
To secure fertile eggs in Winter
we must conform to nature as
near as possible. In Spring and
Summer the hen secures a blade
of grass here, a bug or a worm
there, etc. In Winter she cannot
Becure these dainties, and we
must feed green food, meat and
green-cutbone in place of them.
Feed a warm hash in the morning
of bran and meal, with beef
scraps and cut clover added. At
noon throw a little grain in chatf,
and make the hens work and
scratch for their feed. This gives
them exercise. At night give
whole corn or wheat. Keep ovs
ter shells, grit and pure water
before them at all times, tiive
them a good, warm, dry house,
free from draughts ami free from
lice. Have a good, vigorous male,
and you will secure fertile eggs
in Winter ami plenty of them. 1
prefer to hatch chicks by incuba
tors, as 1 can hatch them earlier,
more of tlmm, sod with less care
than with hens. I raise quite a
number oi ducklings ; raise tli -in
in brooders ;n|..w them all the
water they want to drink, but
none to swim in. A duck will
eat you out o! home and home it
you let liirn. But properly cared
for and forced you can have them
at 10 weeks old weighing II to .V
lbs. each, dressed. As the early
ones brine in the market 20 to 2.r?
cents per pound, it will he sof n
that the raisine of ducks in a pro
litahle one. The Imperial l'ekin
duck is the most profitable; they
are not subject to diseases as
chicks are, and their feathers, a
pure white, are a source of profit.
From mv own experience as a
poultry raiser, 1 find the business
a profitable one, hut it is a bus
iness of small details, and any
one small neplect mar result in
loss. Do not engage in ^hflk poultry
business unless you are wi|.
e ' pive it the care it rJfcoires.

of the A. and H. College
for Negroes.
Washington, Feb. 22.?One of
the most interesting negroes in
the country is President W. H.
Council), of the A. and M. college
for negroes, Normal Alabama,
who is in the city looking after a
measure before congress for the
benefit of his great s hool. He
was seventeen years old before he
learned his alphabet, and yet to
day he is said to be one of the
ripest scholars of his race. He re
rently published a condensed history
of the negro race.
Mr. Council) traveled abroad a
few years ago and was received
warmly by the late Hon. W. E
Gladstone, at Hawarden, and by
King Leopold, of Belgium. Tha

of his three lectures at Queen
Park Congregational church,
said: "The man's mind seemed

large volume. He worked in the
fields, plowing, picking cotton,
splitting rails, etc. He took advantage
of every opportunity to
learn. He plowed three days for
a second hand Greenleaf's Arithmetic,
and then walked four miles
three times a week and paid 50
cents for that manv lessons in
chemistry. He subsequently
taught geometrv and trigonome

and is to-day professor of chemistry,

THE NEW WAY.
P WOMEN used
to think " female
diseases "
could only bo
treated after "loc
a 1 examinations"
by physicians.
Dread of
such treatment
kept thousands of
modest women
silent about their
suffering. The Introduction
of
Wine of Cardul has now demonstrated
that nine-tenths of all the
cases of menstrual disorders do
not require a physician's attention
at all. The simple, pure
W?doi
taken In the privacy of a woman's
own home insures quick relief and
speedy cure. V/omen need not
hesitate now. V/lne of Cardul requires
no humiliating examinations
for its adoption. It cures any

The institution of which he is
the founder and head is one of
the largest and most useful in the
world. It gets $4,000 a year from
Alabama,and receives about $10,000
per year under the Morrill
act of 1890, besides aid from the
whole country. Pupils are there
from eighteen stares and from
Africa. One of the graduated from
Africa is now studying medicine
at Harvard University.
President Council! is a forceful
writer. rlhe Atlanta Constitution
commenting on one of hi* articles,
from which it quoted, said :
"We may say here that the ex
pression of such sentiments as
find a prominent place in the extract
which we khall quote, go
further than anything else toward
allaying the counter prejudices
which have found a lodgment in
the minds of many white people."
General Wheeler has taken a
deep interest in 1'reRident Councill
for nearly twenty years, and
regards him as one of the most
useful and scholarly negroes of
this age. The school is in General
Wheeler's district. The measure
in which 1'rotessor Council I is interested
makes a donation of
government lands in Alabama to
the negro college. The bid passed
the senate by unanimous vote,
and has been unanimously recommended
by the committee of ttiej
house. President Couticill expresses
great faith 111 Speaker
Heed's friendship for the negro,
and feels confident that the
Speaker will allow the loll to
come up soon.
