JauHrij. JOHN W. CAUGHEY, PITTSBURG, PA. POULTRY TALK AMONG THE LADIES. The following talk by Mrs. N. R. Green on poultry, may be interesting to our readers. Let us first give our way of caring for the chicks. We placed the eggs under the hens (the writer uses both incubator and hens) and waited. But while waiting for the chicks to hatch, the coops had to be made ready for those with hens. The old proverb “Do not count your chickens before they are hatched ” is for gotten many times, we fear. We selected a place in the orchard for their abode, where sunshine or shade could be reached, as we had plenty of room for chicks or fowls to range in. Some whitewash, with a few drops of carbolic acid mixed in, was used while hot, thoroughly whitewashing every coop. This was the prelude and must be the interlude in some way, if we attend to our Q’s and P’s. No lice! Oh, no we are not one of the lucky ones who are'never troub led with those little friends, but we bid THE CAME OF “GOVERNORS”** OR FASHIONABLE SOCIETY’S GAME OF PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE.” CORRECT PORTRAITS OF THE 48 GOVERNORS. 10 CENTS PER PACK OF 56 CARDS, POSTPAID, IN A BOX.

After the allotted time expired we went to the nests, and lo! what a nice lot of chicks of different varieties — Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns, etc. But if you please, this was not the first time we had been to the nests, since first setting the hens. If any of the eggs chanced to get broken they had to be re moved, and soiled ones pleaned and a con stant lookout kept for vermin. When the chicks were dry and smart, we moved them to their new home (having well dus ted the hens all through their feathers with insect powder) and there we left them— only to feed the hens, until the chicks were thirty-six hours old. For the first few meals we gave bread or cracker crumbs, which had been run through a bone mill—no moisture in the feed but seldom, and that with sweet milk, and so little it could scarcely be discovered. We fed three times a day, but they had unlimited range—if confined to limited quarters they should be fed four or five times a day, and a different or greater va riety given. The second day of feeding we gave sweet milk for drink, and changed, sometimes milk and then water, all through the season, but very particular about giving fresh drink every time of feeding, and did not give any more food than they would eat at one time. It is well to have tiny troughs to feed in, as the chicks are not so line nui lit vuoi ui uay raen. i vr uuic uj uw FROM THE GOVERNOR OF KANSAS. Topeka. Sept. 7,1888.

After three or four meals we began to mix oat meal (pin head) with the crumbs, and in a week the crumbs were abandoned, and cracked wheat was mixed with the oatmeal, and soon cracked corn; (fine) and thus they were kept, almost entirely on grain food, and milk or water, with good range. About three times a week they had a warm break fast, especially if cold or rainy, made of a mash thus: Cooked potatoes four parts, wheat middling two parts, bran two parts, unsifted cornmeal one part, ground meat one part. Drain the potatoes and mash all together while hot, salt and pepper as for ourselves. A little bone meal was also dusted in. After chicks were two weeks old the oatmeal was left out, and whole wheat and cracked corn was fed. The warm mash was not fed until two weeks old. We have discarded boiled eggs from our bill of fare almost entirely, except for turkeys; they seem to thrive on them. The floor of our coops we moved to fresh spots every two or three days. After all this care you would think “those chicks ought not to be lousy,” but wait! One day while feeding, one of our little girls exclaimed, “ Ma, what ails that chicken!” It staggered and acted as though a saloon was near by, where it had taken a drink, but no, no, not so. We examined the little fellow, but found noth ing, and might have exclaimed like many, “it had no lice.” Nevertheless, we resorted FROM THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN. Lansing, Sept. 21,1888.

We have a large flock of chicks, some that were not marked suitable for breeding, were sold for broilers. Another way in which it pays is, we enjoy it; if not, we should have stopped years ago. Among the most popular breeds, the Rouen duck takes first rank. Its present make up is largely due to the efforts of French market poulterers. The drake is broad, straight and rather longer than the duck. Has a lustrous green plumage with a purplish shade on head and extending down the neck to the ring of pure white, which almost encircles it. The breast is purplish brown or claret color, and reach ing well toward the legs. The underparts of body, a fine wavy, silver-gray, terminat ing behind by solid black; wings show colors of grayish brown, purple and green with a band across them of rich purple, green and blue, edged on both sides with white; flights dusky brown, free from white, and the whole plumage throughout, soft and silky, blended and shaded with rare colors. 40 Feet of Newspaper Editorials Boiled Down to 4 Inches.
