YARDS AND PARKS.
IH'Hcrljitlon or nit tOoiiiioiiilcnl Suiii
inri' lluti for Poultry.
Where fowls arc kept in conilncniont
it will be found best to provide outdoor
runs or 3 arris lor them Uiu-intf the sum
mer mouths. Give them f ree ueeess to
these yartla whenever the weather will
permit. The most economical form,
everything considered, for u poultry
yard is one much longer than wide.
Two rods vidc and eight rods long is
BUiHeiont tor 50 fowls. Whenever a
poultry plant of considerable size is
to be established, it will be found most
economical to arrange the yards side
by side, with one end at the poultry
house. The fc cs which inclose these
yards may be made of poultry netting
or pickets, and should be at least seven
feet high. In cither case it is best to
have a board at the bottom, for some
times it will be desirable to give quite
young chickens the run of these yards.
If the poultry 3 arris are constructed as
described, there is suflleient room for
a low of fruit trees down the center
of the aid, and still leave ample room
for horse cttlth niton on either side,
either with one or two horses.
These yards are to be kept thorough
ly cultivated. If thought best, grain
may bo sown before cultivation to fur
nish part of the green food for the
Jowls. Of all fruit trees, probably there
are none that are more suitable for the
poultry yard than the plum. The drop
pings of the fowls will manure the
trees, and the fowls as insect destroyers
perform a great oflicc in protecting
plums from the eurculio. After the
trees are once well established, a crop
of plums should be secured nearly every
year. These, too, will require no extra
cultivation. The plum trees perform a
valuable service in providing shade for
the. fowls. Where trees are not avail
able, sunflowers may be used for tills
purpose with a considerable degree of
satisfaction. However, some protec
tion must be given the plants until they
are well established, and even then
many plants will be destroyed unless
the fowls have an abundance of green
food all the time. Itural World.

by a quarter of an inch wide, and the
device is complete.
To use it, fill the can with water, in
vert the saucer oer it, then quickly in
vert both and set the device on the floor.
The water will remain in the inverted
can till used. The water keeps fresh
and the space around the can in the
fiaucer is so small that the little chicks
cannot get in and wet themselves or
drown, as so often happens. The water
keeps clean. This is a handy device
worth a great deal to poultry raisers.

AMONG THE POULTRY.
Do not let ducklings bathe until well
feathered.
Do not set hens in the laying part of
the poultry house.
In order to have poultry tender and
juicy fatten it quickly.
Weight and size are important fea
tures in market fovls.
To maintain health keep the drinking
and feeding places clean.
Uetter results in whitewashing will
be secured if it is applied hot.
Hens not kept with roosters will lay
longer and sit less than others.
If well fed and watered n good hen
will hntdi out ten good broods of chick

The avidity with which laying hens
will eat crushed eggshells shows how
necessary they are in the hen's econ
omy for egg production. There is no
better way to supply the lime required
for eggshells than this. The shells in
the gizzard also act as grit, enabling it
to digest food. The only care in feed
ing is to crush the shell thoroughly, so
that its likeness to the egg may not be
ecen. Where eggshells are thrown out
without being crushed the fowls soon
learn the habit of picking at the shells
on eggs, and from this they quickly be
come egg caters, a habit which once
formed is never forgotten.

ABOUT KAFFIR CORN.
I?. Miu rl cite i' l'n It h to StiMitlu .Mini of
the Claim .Mil do for It.
Some enthusiasts declare tliatKaillr
corn is destined to Kiipersodc both wheat
and Indian corn in Kansas, but the
Kansas authorities and the department
of agriculture do not sustain this claim.
Kalllr corn, an Egyptian millet, is a
sorghum, and as a crop possesses these
advantages: The yield is larger by from
20 to 50 per cent, than Indian corn; it
will grow and yield a crop not a large
one on ery poor soil; it is injured
much less than Indian corn by drought,
and even when withered by the hot, dry
winds of the prairies, it will recover un
der moisture.
it forms an excellent food for cattle
and pigs. All the experiments, of which
many have been made by scientific agri
culturists, show that it is inferior in
fatening power to either wheat or
corn. Nevertheless, as a surer and
larger crop than corn, it promises most
important results for regions like Kan
sas and Nebraska, where scorching
winds frequently wither the corn and
destroy the crop.
As food for man, it is nourishing,
wholesome and palatable. Hut the lat
est conclusions of the national depart
ment of agriculture are that its use will
pi obably be somewhat like that of buelc
wheat it will form an occasional
rather than a staple article of diet. 7n
nourishing power it stands at 27, where
bolted cornineal stands at 37, wheat
(lour at -15 and oatmeal at 02.
Heretofore it has been difficult to
grind this corn fine enough for use as
human food. It is said that this difll
cttlty has been overcome lately. If so,
there will soon be an opportunity to
test its food value on an extensive scale.
- -Farmers' Voice.
NEW ROTATION THEORY.
It Adoption MIkIU Improve the Con
dition of Woxterii Farmer.
When the farmers of the west see
their way clear to abandon the idea of
devoting the land to corn as the prin
cipal crop and substitute clover, sheep
and the sugar beet as the trinity neces
sary to the redemption of the producers
from the depression resulting from low
prices for farm products progress will
be made towards better conditions.
Clover and sheep produce good mutton
while enriching the land. Sugar beets
are good for sheep and produce the best
of sugar at good profit. Let every farm
er who can and who has not already
done so make a start in this trium
virate theory of rotation which is cer
tain of success if properly conducted,
in restoring the prosperity which is so
much wished for. There is an increasing-
demand for good mutton, an arti
cle which but few farmers know how to
produce to perfection. The lax'ge profit
is only possible where the best is pro
duced for market. Give the people good
and desirable food products and con
sumers will pay liberally for the same.
Mutton, if properly grown, is the most
nutritious and wholesome of the meat
diets. The mutton breeds of sheep are
the most desirable and satisfactory of
the domestic animals for the farm and
can be cared for with the least labor.
The profits in sheep are also the most
assuring for the future of any of the
other domestic animals. Devote less
lands to the cereals and prosper.

(i mi id AualiiNt Overleeilliitf.
It is an easy matter for a poultry
raiser to overfeed his fowls. If a flock
has the privilege of a range the farmer
need give hardly any food at all if grass,
seeds and insects are plentiful, yet
some who are really careful of their
hens feed three times a day, under the
belief that the more food the greater
the number of eggs, and endeavoring- to
secure as many eggs as possible they
get "the hens in a condition that in
capacitates them entirely. Heavy feed
ing of giain is at times an advantage,
such as during extremely cold weather,
but the food must be regulated not only
according to the seasons, but also in
accordance with the condition of th
ibeiis. Dakota Field and Farm.

OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE.
An Okliihnnm .Min Sn Tliern In u Short
ni; f 'o'"iy fi.000,0011. I
Outiihik, Ok., June 21. Senator D. '
P. Martini, from the "short grass"
country, in discussing- the cattle busi-1
ness, said: "I would advise cattle
raisers to hold their cattle for still ,
hiirhur prices. While it is true that
good steers have tt'inost doubled in
value within the last year, yet there is
reason for believing that they will go
higher. This is caused by a scarcity
of cattle all over the United States.
In 1SS0 Hiiro was a great and far
reaching demand for range cattle
by the big cattle syndicates that
sprang up in this northwest. Many
Uritish capitalists invested in cattle
and ranches. Enormous prices were
paid for cattle, and Texas and south
ern territories were drained. The
craze continued until the supply ex
ceeded the demand. Prices began go
ing down. The big ranches had to sell
their cattle to meet their obligations.
There is a shortage of from -1, 000,000 to
5.000,000 head of cattle in the United
States, and we must raise them before
we can make good the shortage."

Chicago, June 21. The creamery
proprietors, the butter dealers and the
dairy farmers of the big butter pro
ducing states Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Michigan and the Dakotas
are being- formed into a compact light
ing organization of not less than fiOl),
000 and possibfy more than 1,000,000
voters and vote controllers are being
pledged in writing to work unceas
ingly for legislation that will prevent
the coloring of btttterine.
It is proposed, before the legislatures
of these dairy states meet again, to
raise a great fund to drive the buttor
ine manufacturers from their strong
holds, and if the industry finds loop
holes in state legislation the organiza
tion will move on Washington.
W. D. Hoard, of Fort Atkinson, Wis.,
formerly governor of Wisconsin and
president of the National Dairy union,
is giving the movement all the benefit
of his organizing ability and political
acumen.

London, .lime 21. It will readily be
understood that the political conse
quences of the sad physical infirmity
which has befallen the queen cannot
fail to be highly important to Great
llritain, and the statement which fol
lows, although not official, is furnished
in response to inquiries by a person who
enjoys the confidence of the royal fam
ily and who speaks in tills matter with
full knowledge: "The question of the
queen's early abdication is being dis
cussed in the highest circles. Her
majesty is stated to be seriously con
sidering tlie important step of resign
ing the throne in favor of the prince of
Wales soon after the jubilee. I lor
majesty finds the duties of her position
daily becoming more difficult to 1111,
and she dreads the responsibilities of
next week very much, although she is
unwilling to disappoint her subjects
in the least."
