POINTS FOR THE POULTRYMAN.
How Average* Farmer May Make
Money From Fnwl?~Tlioroughbred
Stock a Sine Qua Xon?Warm
Clean Houses and tlie Right KJnda
of Food Important Factors-?Look?
ing After the Chicks the Time when
the Battle Is Lohi. or Won.
On account of the universal inter?
est in poultry raining, Col. M. L.
Donaldson has written a bulletin for
the Clemson Popular Bulletin series
on "Poultry Raising as it Relates to
the Average Farm," treating the
subject "In a practical way for prac?
tical people."
The United States census for 1900
shows the value of the poultry pro?
duct for South Carolina to be 81.
589.765; eggs 8925,966, making a
total of 82.465,721 and showing poul?
try to be a factor In farm economies
of no mean Importance. With the ap?
plication of a little more Intelligence
and Improved methods the above
figures may be greatly enlarged.
Aa a first principle, the best results
can not be obtained from mongrel,
scrub stock. Thoroughbreds, no mat?
ter what breed, will in the long run
prove the beat. For meat and eggs;
they get the quick-growing large
breasted varieties?Rocks, Rhode Is?
land Reds, Indian games, Wyandottes;
for eggs, the Leghorns and French
varieties. It la a method question,
however, if year in and year out, the
larger breeda will not produce a ?
many egga aa the smaller so-called
laying breeda. General management,
food, quarters, etc, have much to do
with that.
Fowls Fowl Houses.
Having decided on the breed, select
the Individual birds. Cocks should be
sturdy and vigorous, standard color,
weight and shape. Females should
be long-bodied, with bright eyes, an
air of buslnesa when In motion?
quick, alert and* active. Twelve fe?
males of the large meat varieties
should be mated with one cock; four?
teen of the smaller breeds.
The old custom of allowing poultry
to roost in open sheds or trees will
not do If eggs In paying: quantities are
expected. Inexpensive quarters pro?
tecting from cold north and east
winds should be provided, and will
pay In every case. Quarters should
be cleaned at least onoe a week, and
lime used freely on the floor and
white-wash on the walls occasionally,
to prevent lice and mites. "One little
louse Is enough to kill one little chick?
en."
The plan of letting the hen in?
cubate and brood her own offspring
Is, of course, the least troublesome,
and perhaps the most successful; but
It has proved Inadequate to meet the
increasing demand for poultry and
eggs. The problem Is how to feed
and manage the flock to get the larg?
est returns outsidt the natural breed?
ing season, when the demand Is strong
and the prices are high, during the
winter and the late spring.
Rations.
For flocks that have range, the
character of housing and ration in?
dicated above is sufficient. Corn,
oats, wheat, barley, sorghum seed,
with beef scrap or ground green bone
once or twice a week, is a safe and
satisfactory bill of fare. The usual
manner of feeding twice a day often
in excessive quantities, may thwart the
object In view and prove a positive
Injury. The crop of a fowl is not a
stomach, but a store house. A hungry
ch'cken Will Invariably pack the crop
as full as possible. Then, when water
Is added, the dry food swells to such
an extent that the functions of the
crop are setarded or stopped, the
.hole digestive prOQSOl impaired, re?
sulting in Indlgeatlon, or so-called
Choleri What Is called cholera is
in most cast s only indie Btlon pro?
duced by sour food in an ov< rcrowd
ed crop; but is as fatal as genuine
cholera, The simple preventive for
this is "hooper feeding," or keeping
ground such as whr.it bran food al
ways before them to eal at leisure
which, besides bl Ing a remedy for
ibis, in the oheapesl way of feedlngi
for the reason lhal when they can km
the food at all times, only enough will
be taken at a time to keep up the di?
gestive grinding. Grain should be fed
In little to require soui? exercise.
Care of Chicks.
The artificial Incubator is the hap?
py solution of the proldem of getting
early broilers. Without discussing
the merits of the mauy incubators,
many of which are good, it Is desir?
able to say that insti actions should
be followed. Rearing the brood
aftcjr hatching is the rub, and many
beginners fail, get disgusted and quit.
Upon just two things success depends:
Sufficient but natural warmth and
proper feeding for the first ten days.
Twenty or thirty chickens hovered In
a box twenty Inches square, with a
little clean straw or chaff at the bot?
tom and a cloth or padded quilt at
their backs, will keep perfectly com?
fortable the coldest nights. Of course
there must be an opening In the side
for the chicks to run In nd out for
fresh air, as they would do with the
hen; In this way they will not sweat
or freeze as when artificial heat is
employed as In brooders. A little
while too hot or too cold in a brood?
er Is sure to be followed by conges?
tion of the lungs or bowel trouble, or
both, and subsequent loss of the
whole clutch.
In 21 days the hatch Is over. ling?
ering chicks that come out of the
shell after that are net likely to live.
Keep chicks in nursery of the Incuba?
tor for twenty-four hours, letting the
temperature down from 104 to 90 de?
grees gradually. Then remove to a
dry shed or room with as little change
as possible. Each chick should have
its bill dipped in water, but should
have no solid food for twenty-four
hours longer. Don't let sympathy get
the best of your Judgment at this
juncture. Nature has provided three
days' rations In the crop of each
chick, after which it is strong enough
to seek out food. When the chick
looks keen and active place a little
food before it?egg bread a little dry
crumbled in small quantities, half as
much as they would eat. Never give
wet food to brooded chickens till they
are over three weeks old. Be stingy
in feeding for ten days; less danger
from starvation than from overfeed?
ing. Supply plenty of fresh water
and sand or fine grit.
Diseases.
The best cure for diseases among
chickens is preventives. But there are
some wholesale sicknesses. So-called
cholera, a weak, sick appearance,
pale gills and comb, excrement watery
and sulphurous appearance, generally
only Indigestion, and caused by over?
crowded crop, and may be avoided by
supplying plenty of good sharp grit,
which Is to poultry what teeth are to
other animals. Besides the grit sup?
ply ten drops of sulphuric acid water
to every twenty fowls, and always
quarantine the sick chickens. When
in doubt two drops of spirits of tur?
pentine will do no harm and will
often do good.
Another disastrous trouble is lim?
ber necks, caused by eating grubs
produced by the blue bottle fly. De?
caying flesh of any kind about the
premises Is the fruitful cause. Pre?
vention is the best cure; but some?
times the owner knows nothing of the
cause till he sees the effect. In such
j cases try to destroy the life of the
I grub without killing the fowl. A tea
spoonful of Mustang liniment night
and morning, followed by a teaspoon
ful of castor oil, will euro the worst
OAS*. The liniment will kill the grub
and the oil will get It out of the sys?
tem.
Sorehead, a common disease In the
fall, oan be Stopped at once by touch?
ing the sores as they appear with
tincture of Iron, it Is thought to be
caused by a parasite, and special care
as to cleanlineaa is the beat safeguard,

The Love You Should Feel For Your
Farm.
We would have every farmer love
his work even as the artist loves his
work, and In this spirit, too, every
farmer should love his farm itself as
he would love a favorite horse or
dog. He should know every rod of
the ground should know just what
each acre Is adapted to, should feel
a joy and pride in having every hill
and valley look its best, and should
be as much ashamed to have a field
scarred with gullies as he would be to
have a beautiful colt marked with
lashes; as much ashamed to have a
piece of ground worn out from ill
treatment as to have a horse gaunt
and bony from neglect; as much hurt
at seeing his acres sick from wretched
management as he would be at seeing
his cows half starving from the same
cause.
Love your ground?that piece of
God's creation which you hold in fee
simple. Fatten its poor parts as care?
fully as you would nurture an ailing
Collie. Heal the washed, torn places
In the hillside as you would the barb
scars on your pony. Feed with leg?
umes and soiling crops and fertilizers
the galled and barren patch that
needs special attention; nurse it back
to life and beauty and frultfulness.
Make a meadow of the bottom that is
inclined to wash; watch it and care
for it until the kindly root masses heal
every wound, and in one unbroken
surface the "tides of grass break into
foam of flowers'* upon the outer
edges. Don't forget even the forest
lands. See that every acre of wood?
land has trees enough on It to make
It profitable: "a good stand" of the
timber crop as well as of every other
crop. Have an eye to the beautiful
In laying off the cleared fields?a tree
here and there, but no wretched beg?
gar's coat mingling of little patches
and little rents: rather broad fields
fully tended and of as nearly uniform
fertility as possible, making of your
growing crops, as it were, each a
beautiful garment, whole and un?
broken to clothe the fruitful acres,
which God has given you to keep and
tend as He gave the first Garden into
the keeping of our first parent.?
Raleigh, (N. C.) Progressive Farmer
and Gazette.
Love Your Profession.
Love your stock and have comfort?
able quarters for them, and you will
have good stock. A man with only a
hog hovel and a mule has nothing to
love in the way of stock, and no one
spends much love on a scrub cow
that stands outside all winter and has
the 'hollow" stomash in the spring.
No one can take pride In an old raz?
or-back sow and her long-nosed pigs.
But let him once have a fine Berk?
shire pair and he will take pride In
showing the Utter of stub-nosed little
roasters. He will get to love a colt
from a good mare with good blood In
him, and will boast to all his neigh?
bors of his Jerseys that have been
well fed on peavlne hay and have
been making golden blocks of butter
all winter.?Progressive Farmer.
Twelve Things to Do This Month.
(1) Break all the land possible, so
as to have it ready when spring
comes. Plow deeply all clay soils.
(2) Keep the fire out of the fields;
do a little more work if necessary to
get the trash worked Into the soil.
(3) Open up d'tches, or make
new ones?the broad, shallow kind,?
straighten up terraces, clean up
banks, fence rows, etc.
(4) Get stumps and brush out of
the fields; fill In the gullies.
(5) Look over the machinery and
see that It is ready for use. Arrange
now for the purchase of new Im?
plements needed.
(6) Begin getting the horses and
mules ready for the spring rush; put
them to work by degrees; Increase
their feed gradually, groom well once
each day,
(7) Prepare the hot beds, If not
already done, and sow tomatoes, pep?
per, etc. Sow cabbage, lettuce, onion
and radish seed. Plant peas and
early potato, s.
(8) <Jet good seed of corn, cotton,
and other field crops ready for plant?
ing. If tin re is any question of their
quality, test Rfeedl for vitality.
en Fence off the lots for the pigs
and begin preparing a pasture rota?
tion for them.
(10) Set the Inns; clean out the
poultry bous s; whitewash; prepare
coops anil brooders.
I til) Prune the fruit trees. If
j you suspect Ban Jose scale, spray

Mit. ATHUR P. FORD DEAD,
Former Edltor of Alken Record* r
Passes Away Suddenly.
Aiken, Feb. 15.?Mr. Arthur Pe
ronneau Ford, formerly editor of the
Alken Recorder, died at his home
here this morning at 10.30 o'clock.
Mr. Ford has been in 111 health for
several months, having been forced
just recently to give up bis work as
editor of this paper, selling It the
first of the present month. He was
Just recovering from an attack of la
grippe, as his friends thought, and
retired as usual last night. During
the night he was taken suddenly
worse, being found unconscious this
morning. He never recovered from
this unconsciousness, but passed
peacefully away.
Mr. Ford was born in Charleston in
1844, and at the age of 16 enlisted
in the Confederate army as a mem?
ber of the Palmetto Guard, of Char?
leston. He served throughout the
great conflict, being tw e wounded,
and on a third occasion a prayer
book stopped a dangerous bullet,
which would probably have ended
his life. He was one of the old type
of unreconstructed rebels, and al?
ways took great interest in matters
pertaining to the war.
After the war he settled In Char?
leston and engaged in the cotton busi?
ness. It was there that he married
Miss Marion J. . Porche- in 1873.
Early In the eighties he moved to
Aiken and entered newspaper work,
buying the Recorder from Mr. Chas.
Drayton. He was associated with
Mr. J. E. McCracken in publishing
this paper, and later became its sole
owner and proprietor, publishing It
until forced to give up all work on
account of ill health some time ago.
He was a writer of force and wield?
ed a great deal of influence In his
county .
Mr. Ford's wife died several years
ago. He leaves to mourn him his
two daughters, Misses Louise and
Marlon.
Mr. Roosevelt's Fine Description of
Nairobi Falls.
The Nairobi Falls, which were on
Heatley's Ranch, were singularly
beautiful. Heatley and I visited them
one evening after sunset, coming
home from a day's hunt. It was a
ride I shall long remember. We left
our men, and let the horses gallop.
As the sun set behind us, the long
lights changed the look of the coun?
try and gave !t a beauty that had in
it an element of the mysterious and
the unreal. The mountains loomed
both large and more vague than they
had been In the bright sunlight, and
the plains lost th-elr look of parched
desolation as the afterglow came and
went. We were galloping through a
world of dim shade and dying color;
and in this world, our horses sudden?
ly halted on the brink of a deep ra?
vine from out of which came the
thunder of a cataract. We reined up
on a jutting point. The snowy mass?
es of the fall foamed over a ledge on
our right, and below at our feet was
a great pool of swirling water. Thick
foliage trees, of strange shape and
festooned with creepers climed the
sheer sides of the ravine. A black and
white eagle perched in a blasted tree
top In front; and the bleached skull
of a long-dead rhinoceros glimmered
white near the brink to one side.
On another occasion we took our
launch at the foot of Rewero Falls.
These are not as high as the falls of
the Nairobi, but they are almost as
beautiful. We clambered down into
the ravine a little distance below and
made our way toward them, beside
the brawling, rock-choked torrent.
Great trees towered overhead, and
among their tops the monkeys chat?
tered and screeched. The fall itself
was broken in two parts like a minia?
ture Niagara, and the spray curtain
shifted to and fro as the wind blew.?

The Strength of Pulic Opinion.
For the first time in our national
history economics are not regarded
as suitable only for the edification of
the political economist, says E. A.
Van Valkenburg in "Success Maga?
zine." Economics are coming to be
regarded as a flesh- and-blood, heart
and-soul personal problem. This is
developing the public opinion which
ultimately will sweep away mis
government and civic abueee.
To thoaa whose mainspring of
action is morality, it may not be
pleasing to a lmlt that an appeal to
man'l Selfish instincts is necessary to
bring aix>ui changes for good. Let
these good people remember that
however far apart at the beginning
two forces may be that are working
? for the same end. their lines must
constantly converge. The decisive
victory RlUSl come Horn public opin
' i< n. And a majority public opinion
must come from a union of altruistic
ethical convictions and enlightened
i.nomic selfishness.

el
New York, Feb. 16.?According to
the latest estimate obtainable there
are 67 4.259 railroad n ployes in t
United States in line for pensio
This is about 40 per ceat of the total
number of railroad employees In this
country. Thirteen railroads report
that 4,659 in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1907.
A number of railroads have had
unofficial pension systems for ma4fcy
years. Among these is the Central
Railroad of New Jersey; the New
York Central also granted pensions
before it Inaugurated its official plan
on January 1, 1910. The officials in
charge of the Pension Department of
the New York Central, with Its 125,
000 employees, estimate that the In?
auguration of the new plan will
1,500 to 2,000 men a year to th
number already drawing pensions.
The twenty-one ral road systems
having pension departments in oper?
ation are the Atchis^n, Topeka &
Santa Fe, the Atlantic Coast Line, th,
Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad,
Baltimore & Ohio, the Boston & Al?
bany, the Buffalo, Rocnester & Pitts
burg, the Central of New Jersey, the
Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, the
Cleveland Terminal &. Valley,
Delaware, Lackawanna & Weste
the Houston & Texas, the New York
Central, the Illinois Central, the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co.,
the Oregon Short Lin?, the Pennsly
vanla, the Philacelph a & Reading,
the Rock Island, the Southern Pa*M
fic and the Union Pacific. The eijf>
ployees of the numerous subsidiaries
are includeed, of course, In the pen?
sion system.
In the majority of cases the pen?
sion Is fixed at 1 pe cent of the
average wage for the ten years next
preceding retirement multiplied ~ls?

example, If an engine nan has earned
$150 a month on the average during
the last ten years of I Is service, and
has been in the employ of the com?
pany for thirty years, he is retired on
a pension of $45 a month.
In every case the pension fund is
supported exclusively by the company,
the employees not contributing there?
to. The pensions are given for both
superannuation and disability. The
age of retirement on four roads?the
Atchlson. Topeka & Santa Fe,
Baltimore & Ohio, the Buffalo, Rot?
ester & Pittsburg, and the New York
Central?is 66. years old. On the
rest of the roads it is 70 years. Half
of the roads limit the age at which
the laborer may be employed to 36
years, and half to 45 years.

When an employee leaves the road

cited, where an englneman applied
for a pension for service dating from
1869. His record showed that he was
entitled to a pension for sertiw
dating from 1866, and he was

On Women's Mights.
(From London Truth.)
Last year Sir Melvill Beachcsoft
chairman of the London (^A.y
Council, made a speech at the Ly?
ceum Club on what women could do
in that body. He began by saying.
"I take it you ;ill know what your
rights and what your privileges are
In that connection." He was quite
mistaken. In any 200 women t-ttfe
is certain to be a proportion utterly
ignorant, not only of their rights
and privileges, but of their duties.
Ehren in the specialized audience ad?
dressed by sir Melvill this was the
case. How many women living in
London know that they can votettJaV
the 28 borough cot nclls and 31
boards of guardians of the London
County Council; that they can also
be ebeted themselves for these, be
members of the Central Unemployed
Body or of the 29 <"istress coronslt
tees. and also be co-oj ted to all cSjsrr
bodies like tin l>u%al Pension com?
mittees? Women can be Aldermen
of the Council, and there is nothing
to prevent any one of them from
holding the office of chairman Itself.
These are the offices they can hold,
but very t. w of them do. ^
