The Hen For Dividends NEW SHORT STORIES TO THE PUBLIC FROM DR. A. B. HINKLE, of MACON, GEORGIA. I respectfully invite the public to visit ine in my new quarters at No. 362 Second street. I have just completed a handsome building and fitted it up with large and commodious offices, equipped with the latest and most scientific instruments and appliances known to the professon and needed to make a doctor's office com plete in all its various apartments. I take pleasure in in forming the public and particularly those in need of medi cal .assistance for such diseases as local physicians have not been able to treat here on account of the instruments and appliances requisite, thereby causing such patients to drift to northern cities at heavy expense to themselves; that they can now receive such treatment here at home thus causing a big saving in the doctor’s bill.

In proportion to her lire, her cost and her keep, the hen is the best divided pay. er on the farm. There Is no question of this. 8he will lay her value In eggs In half a year, and she Is good for two or three years. This Is true of the individual hen, and the farm flock Is composed of Just such Individual hens. On some farms they are entirely too few In numbers to make their value apparent. On most farms they are too few, and too neglected to be appreciated as they should be. Still, their Individual value is there, and It only needs an Increase In the flock—a division and a subdivision, to multiply these units of value, so as to make them of much Importance to their keeper. Ordinarily the farm flock Is one. and Its size is regulated very largely by the survival of the hardiest. Many perish by the wayside, and many are consumed In the growing. It Is Just one bunch of chickens about the yard, the horse lot, anil the back door. There Is no systema tized division, especial housing, or care, and so there Is no striking Illustration of the value of the Individual hen. One of the flock may die from accident, or vlo lence, and lie unhurled In the weeds until It festers, nr.d becomes Infested with maggots, snd withal a source of poison to the other birds of the flock, and thus starts the dreaded limber-neck, resulting In a logs of one-half or more of all the poultry on the place. This Is only too often the case. This comes of lack of supervision and of neglect. Now, there are Just two ways possible In which to Increase the firm holding of chickens, and lift them and their products up to a point where the revenue from them will he so strikingly great and valu. able that they will be held In the egteem and consideration that they should he. The first, and most satisfactory, way Is by fencing, so that more than one flock may he raised anil maintained on the farm. This ran lie done on a suitable spot on the premises, where a squire may be I selected, containing four or flvft acres. I and fenced In poultry-tight fill nround. j and then subdivided, so as to tn ike. s.v. four yards of an acre or more each, with a henhouse In the ron'-r, also tllvM-t! so j as to make four separate laying and, romping places for the foue fl a-Its Twen.

Write me what you have if you care to consider a proposition ot this nature. W. M. Giddens, Tifton, Ga.” ty-flve hc-ns are as many as should b« aligned to a yard, and If more hens are wanted In the scheme, the yards and houses should be multiplied accordingly; but the limit should be twenty-five hens to a flock. Now, If this la too much expense to be Incurred, then try the colony plan, and atart two or three separate sections on the farm where the hens may be protect ed and colonized In flocks of twenty-five. Let each flock be fed and watered In Its own local range, ho that there may be complete division In this way. A good game cock, to head each colonized flock. Is one of the best guarantees of Individu ality of the flock, for g.ime cocks wJU protect their respective harems, and not allow any mixing up. This system la possible, but not so convenient a« the other. Hens divided In this way, and comfortably housed, with their feed thrown to them In Utter to scratch for. should lay profitably all winter. In raising chickens for the market, either system Is valuable, for it Insures division, and increased numbers that will thrive and mature. Three or four hons with their broods, In one of the ranges suggested, would do finely and raise quite all their young. It will not do to let them mix up. and heroine one straggling mob as the season advances. They must be kept In small flocks, and Just as soon as the young roosters are old enough to measure up to the frying pan, they should bo sold. This Is the way to solve the problem of “more chickens and better chickens” on the farm, and n source of revenue that will command the attention and Invoke the Interest and supervision of the best heads and hands on the place. If there Is division there may. and will be. Increased numbers, and Increased profits In the Interest In the satisfying of their eg.' customers but of the Importance of maintaining the health of their own fam ily.

The admiral was somewhat aston ished when the kaiser said, "Let me sec you do It—do It yourself.” Evans tried the siren, but there was not enough steam to blow It. "Ah!” said the delighted kaiser. “Y'ou cannot close your bulkheads!” Evans then touched a general alarm button. and In an Instant men came swarming up from every part of the ship, while Emperor William held his watch, in one minute and a half all doors were closed and the ship was ready for action. "Fine!" said the emperor, with a look of chagrin. “Fine!” And then, to celebrate the feat, wine and cigars were brought Into the admiral's quar- ■v LOOEt.Nt) OUT, HE SAW THE K.USEB. j* , ters.
