An ideal location is on a well-drained

h belter water su,pply. The hill farmer
docs not have the best situation in all
things, but in many Instances he has
certain advantages which he does not
appreciate. x .' ,
It is nn advantage to locate in a hbg-
nisin? community. There, arer, many.
small problems in management which
may he learned through actual ex
perience in one'? own community. In
such eases the older breeders have lor
a hmg time been in contact with local
coriflitions, and a new man may profit
by their experiences without spend
in? several years acquiring one of his
own. Then, too, If a whole community
will raise a certain grade or breed of
hep, it can obtain a reputation for its
pnxlr.ct as a community such as an in
dividual never could hope to win.
When the buyers learn that a type or
breed of hog which they desire is to
be obtained in unlimited numbers in a
certain locality, they will naturally
turn there first to buy" the animals.
All of which tends to decrease the dif-
ficulties of Towinjr and marketing for
the small breeder.
The question of a market must al-.
ways be considered, especially the fa
cilities for reaching, it and the type of
hog it demands. Most communities
have been successfully connected with
the large central markets by the rail
roads, but these will be of little avail
if the roads to the stations are poor.
5x)d roads are of inestimable im
IortHnce, for, among other things, they
enable the farmer to market his prod
ucts at any and all times, thus taking
advantage of any favorable fluctuation
hi the market prices. As to the type
of hog the market demands, that must
;be determined by local inquiry, but in
order to bring the highest market price
Jrogs must be well finished and fat.
The greatest demand is for 200 to 300
Pounds hogs, and farmers generally
obtain the most profit by marketing
their hogs at weights ranging .from
"fl to 300 pounds.

Street of -the.
J
ERUSALEM is full of strange
and interesting nooks and cor
ners that are almost unknown
to the outside world and- that
most of the tourists never see. In New
Age Ph. J. Baldensperger -writes enter
tainingly of some of them. V .
The, Church of the Holy Sepulcher
and its surrounding honeycomb of
cloisters may be said approximately to
have separated the Christian and the
Moslem quarters of the city. Two gates.
closed at night, shut off the church
from the town one below Christian
street, beside the Jaini'el Omari, and
tht other, a small one, leading to "the
Mauristan. The Jami'el Omari is the
real Mosque of Omar. It was built in
A. D. 63? to commemorate the first
prayer said by the Caliph Omar ibn el-
Khattab after his entry into the con
quered city. The small gate opposite
across the court leads straight Into the
Moslem quarter. No Jew "Is ever al
lowed to pass in front of the church or
through either of the two gates. Once
or twice an inquisitive son of Judah
has tried the experiment, but he has
not lived to tell the tale of his ad
venture, so roughly was he handled
by the mob. '
Outside the small gate, In the Mos
lem quarter, are shops for the sale of
glass beads and bracelets, kept by
men of Hebron, and soon you . come
into the street of shoemakers. The
trade was established here in old days,
when the abattoir ?.s in the. Mauri
stan, among the ruins of tbe ancient
hospital of the Knights of St. John.
The Mauristan was given by Sultan
Abdul Aziz as a present to Frederick
William, crown prince of Prussia, when
he visited Jerusalem in 1869. The Ger
man Church of the Redeemer (Erloser
kirche) was built here after the war of
1870. The slaughter house had previ
ously been removed to waste land just
inside the walls up by the Zion gate.
The hides of beasts were thrown upon
the road, and people walked on them
till they were tanned enough for shoe
making. European boots and' shoes
were then unknown to the majority.
The Moslem and Christian men wore
soft red shoes of sheepskin ; the wom
en yellow slippers of the same. The
mission schools and convents had cob
blers of their, own, who had been
taught the ways of Europe in such mat
ters. - . '
Round the corner to the left, below
the Abyssinian convent, were the
sweets shops. Great was our delight
when at the New Year every boy in
the School received a cake enriched
with clarified butter and sweetened
with, honey and sugar. But Halaweh,
sweetstuff made of sesame meal arid
honey, was our perennial joy.
Butchers, Spicers and Dyers.
All along behind the Mauristan' run
three streets parallel to one another,
appropriated by the butchers, ' the
spicers and the dyers, respectively. In
the butchers' street, the dealers, all
Mo!jlemS) sold nothing but mutton and
goat's flesh. As the streets are arched
0ver, semidarkness reignedr and often
have tumbled over fat and lazy
dogs which were attached to almost
every meat shop. These dogs not only
jpt good watch at night, but also kept
the greasy street In a tolerable coridi-
tion by ncKing up tne mooa ana eating
benes. But for the presence of the
spicers' street at hand the shoemakers'
street, with its old. skins; the butchers
street; with ail its offal, and the dyers'
streat, - with blue colored stuffs hang
ing from the roof, would have made
the whole region smell as foul as the
town slaughter yard. Qnce or twice
a week -.we were sent to fetch meat
needed for the kitchen on our donkey.

with the carcasses hanging, out before
the shops there was hardly room in the

Che spicers? street resembled It in this
uzmascus Gate.
respect, and there the merchants hung
such things as cords, nets and girdles
out into the street, and often sat in
front of their shops.
The Suk 1 Bizar. (yrain market) is
a broader street, and lighter, since it is
not vaulted in, but, as many more
people congregated there, progress was
as difficult as in the butchers' street.
This was the busy part; in every other
region of the Moslem quarter hardly
a soul was to be seen atj?ome hours of
the day, except In Harat Bab el'Amud
(the street of the Damascus Gate),
and Harat Bab Sitti Mirian (street of
Our Lady Mary's Gate) , where grocers
did ah active trade, the fell ahin from
the eastern '.country, buying necessaries
there just before leaving the town. A
conventional thin veil or net was
dropped over-the shop entrance, and
projecting baskets of rice, nuts, lentils,
etc., from 11 a. m. to 1. p. m., signify
ing' that the owner was away, pre
sumably at prayers in the adjacent
Ha ram. The protection was more real
than any police measures could have
secured. - ,
In the Crowded Grain Market.
In tile Suk el Bizar the throng was
sometimes so great that it was impos
sible to advance a step; especially was
this the case when a long string of
camels leaded with grain made its way
to the wheat bazaar, the small square
underneath a vault which gives the
street Its name. Wheat and barley.
lentils and dhurra, or maize, are here
poured Ion big heaps and sold to the
public. The official appointed to meas
ure out the grain in the Tabbeh (about
eight rotls) or Sa' "(half a Tabbeh) is

by announcing AUahu Ahad (God is

"three," he says at every measure, till
he comes to seven, when he says same

The number seven, being that of the
princes of the Jann (genis), must not
be named while handling grain for fear
the Jann should carjy o5f the blessing.
Tamanieh (eight), ya Rabb, el Amaneh
(Lord, give me honesty).
The crowd is exasperating at times,
though comical incidents occur occa
sionally. As I slowly pushed my way
forward one day, stopping to avoid
huge sacks, a European snob, anxious
to escape 'being crushed, stood In a
cornerj wearing a new straw hat. Hats
are, as a rule, disliked by orientals. The
European, in derision, is often called
abu- 'l-haranit -5 (father of hats). A
durneytah (hat) attracts unpleant no
tice in a crowd. A camel, "waiting to
pass, looked round casually, put out his
huge lips, seized the strange straw
basket, and in one bite ate half the
hat, to the distress of Mr. Snob and the
delight of the by-standers.
The north and northeast portion aa
far as the Temple Area was most ex
clusively Moslem. Lik" they butchers
and the spicers, -the gold and silver
smiths, the blacksmiths and, the cop

the dyers; but many began to feel the

flME TO FEED YOUNG CHICKS
Mashes' Mixed With Milk Are of Con
siderable Value in Giving Young
( ' sters Good Start.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Young chicks may be fed any time
after they are thirty-six to fod"-eight
hours old whether they are with a hen
or in a brooder Some good feeds for
the first feeding are moistened hard
boiled eggs, johnnycake, stale bread,
oj.tmeal or rolled oats, whi'.-h may be
fed separately or( in combination.
Mashes mixed with milk are of con
siderable value in giving the chicks a
good start.; The mixture should be ted
in a cmmbly mash and not In a sloppy
condition. Johnnycake composed of
the following ingredients in the pro
portion named is a very good feed for
youug chicks: One dozen infertile e?gs
or one pound, of sifted beef scraps
to ten pounds of cornmeal; add enough
milk to make a py-.sty mash and one
tablespoonful of b&king soda and bake
until done. Dry biead crumbs mav be
mixed with hard-boiled eggs, making
about one-fourth of the mixture eggs,
or rolled oats.mry be used in place of
bread crumbs.
It is a good plaa to give these feeds
about a five times daily for. the first
week, then gradually substitute for
one or two of th?se feeds a mixture
of finely cracked grains of equal parts
by weight of cracked wheat and finely
cracked corn and pinhead oatmeal or
hulled oats, to which about 5 per cent
of cracked peas or broken rice and
2 per cent of charcoal or millet or rape
seedinay be added. A - commercial
chick feed may be substituted" if de
sired. . This ratjon may be fed until
the chicks are, two weeks old, when
t'aey should bev placed on grain, and a
dry or wet mash mixture, :
Young chickens should be fed from
three to five times daily, but if care
is given not to overfeed chicks will

day. Young chicks should be fed not
