of tho brooder thoy aro too warm.
Soinctimos, howover, tho niistuko is
mado of cooling tho brood oit too
quickly whon thoy aro soon at tho
euge of tho broodor. Tlio first food
that should bo given tliom is a little
stale bread dipped in milk, sqneezod

Tlie oatmoal should bo granulated.

Mashed potatoes aro oscellcnt for
young chicks, and aftor the chicks
aro a week old scroenings and cracked
corn may bo given them. Green food
of auy kind is oxcellent altliough it
is not esscntial. As soon as thoy are

fatal. If lico aro troubling thom look
on tlie lieads to flnd them first. If
thoy are bothored with theso pests
thoy will appear droopy and sloepy,
Sometimes tho mistake is made of
supposing tho bottom heat in the
brooder is too high whon the chicks
appear weak 'in tho legs. If thoy try
to run aronnd tho tloor, in niost cases
it is a symptom of rapid growth and
that beiug thq case the chicks will
soon recover, as it liiay bo due to
forcinc them too rapidly. Plenty of
fresh water should bo kopt boforo
fowls of any kind, but tho young ones
must have the M'ater tanks so arrang
ed tliot thoy can only got thoir bills
in, as dampness is very fatal to young
chicks. Tho koy to success with very
young chicks is in keoping tlie brood
er in propor condition, especially ro
garding tho tepinorature. If tlie poul
tryman is careloss in this respoct he
may expect to raise less than lialf his
chicks.

WHEN POULTRY PAYS THE
FARMER.
When farmers are in good circum
stances and tho farm briugs in a gen
erous iucome, it is doubtful if tho
poultry busiuess is profitable.
Upon large farms, where largo num
bers of live stock are raised, thore is
great demand for the farmer's timo
and atteutiou, and the poultry yard
is sometlnug that must not bo noglect
ed if any proflt is to bo derived from
the business. This, wo think, is tho
reason we so seldom seo large, exten
sive farmers and stock raisors engago
in the poultry busiuess, except upon a
Kinall scale for family uso.
For small farmers, whose incomo
is not suiHcient to meet the demand,
the poultry business is especially
adapted. It requires but little capi
tal to begin with and brings in quick
returns.
In this way the wives and daughters
can earn quite a sum of mouey with
whicli they can supply themselves and
tho honie with necessaries and many
comforts which lierotofore may havo
been considered luxuries.
Boys and girls can embark in the
business and earn monoy enough to
help educatc themselves and at the
samo time bo acquiring good business
training. It requires closo attention
to detalls, stiok-to-it-iveiiess and in
dustry which aro good training for
uny business. When ono acquires
sufficient ability to pfopcrly manage
a largo poultry plant ho has good
business training for managing almost
any brancli of stockraising.
Tho iucubator will do muoh to in
oreaso the poultry business. With it
largo numbera of chicks can bo hatch-
ed and raised. This will mako it pos
siblo to disposo of tho old hons eacl
year, as a now supply can bo raised
ovory spring. Also largo numbers of
broilors can bo raised, early in thesea
son, whon thoy command high pricos.
Prodaoing eggs and broilors offera.
a good opportuuity for thoso witl
timo and attontion to devoto to tho
work, and it is much botter business
for tho farmer'B children than pod
dliug small artiolos for sale, whicli
has boen so popular tho last few
years Rural, in Indiana Farmor.
DANGER IN OROSSES.
Thoro is inuch ambition occasioually
ovokod by onthusiastio shoop brcodors
in tho attompts to found a now brood
of shoop. I have had porsonal uc
(luaintanco with two Amorican brbed-
ors and ono brocdor in Fianco who
havo mado attompts in this lino. Ono
of our own broedors mado a most dis
astrous failuro in tlie attempt to found
a now brood by mixturo of about overy
broed in oxistonce in tho Unitod
Statos, whilo an old porsonal friond
simially failcd in starting what lio
lioped to mako a breed of whicli was

wold. Botlt thoso attompts nccessari-
ly failcd for waut of that oloso alllni.
ty which iB nceossary to meot tho law
of naturo in this rospect.
Naturo abhors forciblo attompts to
disturb its balanco. Thore is a lirmly
flxed sot of rules in tliis rogard,
which no man as yot has beon success
fnl in violating. And the most offeo
tivo of thoso rules is that in tho at-
tomptcd union of any two animals of
differont breeds thore must be somo
uatural afllnity and no oxtremo varia
tion bctween tho charactors. So tliat
for examplo, in tho crossing of any
two broeds of shenp tho most satisfac
tory results havo been gainod by tho
early lamb producors, with whom the
Soutlisdowns or Cotswold ram on tho
3Iorino cwcs lias mado tho bost prog
euy. But this breeding has not boon
in any way with the intontionof mak
iug a breed of tho cross ; for, seientift-
cally considoriug it, thoro is groatly
too much diffoieneo betwcen theso
shecp to admit of a sure iixcd mixturo
by one cross. Tho first cross makos
a very desirablo niarket auimal but
every good quality is lost by any fur-
ther mixturo of blood, and so far tliero
is that want of adaptability .called
nicking in by tho broedors which has
mado completo failuro in ovory at
tempt.
So, too, the samo has happoned by
a cross of tho Southdowu on the Shrop
shire, which was tried by a Now York
broedor somo years ago. This fail
ure was distinctly foroshown by tho
writer on tho ilrst suggestion of tho
attempt, for tho reason that thore was
already a too close relationship bo
tween tho two breeds and not a sufll-
cient variation between them to pro
curo any sufllciont distiiiction neces
sary for a cross which might bo final-
ly doveloped into a distiiict breed,

IMPROVE THE BROOD MARES.
Wo think the great reason why so
many ordinary horsos aro bred on tho
farm comes from relying wholly upon
the stallion and paying little atteutiou
to tho character and breeding of tho
mares. In horses uniformity is worth
money in the markot, especially in
those of good class, whethor thoy are
heavy djaughts or carriago toams, and
you cannot get uniformity in any
produco except through kindred blood.
You cannot breed a mare of Percheron
and trotting blood and anothor with
coach, Olydesdalo and trotting blood
to the samo stallion aud get a pair
of matched colts. Nature will not be
lie herself, and shehas declared so
often and emphatically that "like
produces like," aud what you sow so
shall you reap, that it is useless to
attempt longer to do the impossiblo,
So, the first thing a farmor should
do when ho starts raising horses is to
got brood mares of tho class he wants,
aud with inoro or loss of tho blood of
the breed he proposes breeding them
to the niore the better. This will
bo found equally advisable whothor
he proposos raising draughts, carriago
horses or roadstors. Audsuch mares
should not bo matched haphazard,
but after careful oxaiaiiiatioii of tho
stallion andhis breeding, and of somo
of his colts if possiblo. But do not
coiidemn a stallion becauso ho gets
somo poor colts until you examino
thoir dams. As a rulo yon will flnd
most of tho troublo is with tho mares,
not the horse, altliough of course,
thoro are worthless stallions of all
breeds. ilichigan Farmer.

THE MARE WITH FOAL.
The care given a maro will materi
ally influonco her foal. Sho cannot
bo expected to do woll as a breeder if
sho is forced to subsist all wintor 011
tho strawstack, sheltered by a barbed
wire fenco ; on tho otlier hand mares
that aro kept idlo and fed heavily on
corn and othor heating foods will
havo about as unfavorable a chanco
as tho starved animal. As in most
other things, tho happy medium is
the royal road to success. The writor
is a lirm beliovor in 'tho efficacy of
niodorato work as a panacea for most
of the ills to which brood mares aro
addicted. Exerciso a maro must havo
in plenty and it is botter that sho
should havo it in harncss than ruii
ning in a yard. Of courso it is mgch
botter to havo her run in freodom
than to havo her stand in a stall, but
tho maro that is properly fed all wiu
ter and worked moderately overy day
will havo moro chauces to como out of
her foaliug all right and produco a
good, healthy, stroug colt than tho
maro that runs in a yard or looso in a
stall.
Tho feeding of all kinds of animals
has boon discussed boforo this insti
tuto and little needbo said about foed
ing tho brood mare. Supposo tho mare
has como through tho wintor in good
llx, and is due to foal about tho last
of April. Let her work right along,
foed her liborally on good, sound,
bright oats and hay. It is woll to givo
hor crushed or ground oats, with a
little bran. At this tinitrcorii is not
good for her. if enough oats aro not
raised to foed all tho year, corn should
bo fed dnring the cold weather. As
to quantity of food, great caro must
be takon ; about tho only rulo that can
bo given is: Givo enough to koop
tho maro from ruimiug down matori
ally in ilosh. No horseiuan will neg
loct to groom his mares rogularly and
woll, and do ovorything in his powor
to koop them as comfortable as possi
blo all tho timo.
Hard driving and hard pulling
should bo avoided at all times, sinco
thoro is dangor of tlio maro slipping
her foal, caused by ovorexortion or
straiu. Tho maro should novor bo put
to tho limit of hor strongth or ondnr

COAL MINE DISASTEH.
Vancouvor, B. 0., May 24. Ono of
tho most terriblo niino disastors in tho
history of the froquont accidonts iu
British Columbia, occurred Friday
night in tho Orow's Nost Coal corn
pany's minos, at Fornio, B. O. Over
100 mon aro oithor doad or imprisonod

taiued of rosouing any who may yot

try and tho limited tolograph faoili

oxplosion took plaoo last night at 7 :30.
Tho trno causo of tho disastor will
probably not bo positivoly ascortained
for it is doubtful if anv man who

CoitN. Spot offerings of corn continu&
very small and prices obtained show a
conslderable promium over the cost to
ship from the west. The wants of byyers
are small, howuver, and it would not takt

of three mouths or moro thero is a little
better touo to the markot, with more wool
selliug utid the general demand more
activo. Auy ehauce of this kind is of
eourse weleome. Kven if the buyers have
not taken much, the fact that they havt
been iuterested enough to eomo here aud
submit bids is sullleient to lead dealers to
beliovo that tho tido has turned For
weeks there has been an actual drousht
of buyers, but withiu n few days there has
been it steady stream of visitors and tho
hearts of tho dealers aro cheered. tome
of tho large mills have been ou the mar
ket and have picked up some wool. The
buyers of the Ainerlcau Wooleu Coinpanv
havo been around sizing things up. Good
sized mills, whose buyers havo uot been

looked for.
I.u.MrtEit. It is this week easy to speak
with certalnty of the prico for sprueo
frames. Add 1 to the assoeiation rates
aud thero can bo no mistake. In random.
there is somo im-gulunty, tho premium

not always agree Some describe it as
lacking in sntip und vigor whilo others coll
it really brisk. Those dlsposed to com
plain a little asree however, with the op
tlmists in taking a bright view of tho
future, Thero aro many retail dealers
who speak in glowlng terms of the large
