Poultry Letter MR. EDITOR:— I was never a believer nor at» advocate of keeping poultry in large numbers on the farm, especi ally if onj} does not thoroughly un derstand every particular of the business To a casual observer, it looks as if one might be as success * ful in.raising a large lot as be gould a few and bv this mistaken idea there are thousands of dollars thrown'away in the' poultry busi ne j s every year. There are a great many more problems to solve in raising one thousand chicks, , than there-is in caring for one hundred. Generally speaking, when one gets over a hundred or two at one time, he gets out of the boundaries of natural conditions and they will not thrive. If one attempts to raise more than that number, he ■will have to make the conditions, •which to the inexperienced would t)« a hard problem. Poultry is domesticated, and its natural desire is to stay c1o«e about its keeper, and it is well it should, for enemies, which are minv stay just ont-ide of the range. In the first place, we must change that instinct by force by compelling it to have a larger rang? fftid at the same time to be satisfied, as .it takes a contented fowl to grow or to be profitable in any way. After get ting that far our trouble has just commenced. There are the minks and weas?l with their sneaking, prowling nature to visit the poultry house on dark rainy nights. The pogsum comes along with boldness after his share. In the owl family there are manv, but the grunting owl is the worst. He comes along about daybreak or a little later and pushes one off the roost for his breakfast. The fox, the slyest of animals, except the human night prowler, comes day or night. He will take chicks,eggs and all. These Und piany more work while we are asleep, so we will certaiinlV have to protect the fowls against these night marauders. Of the hawk family there are many, but the blue tail darter causes the most trouble. Of these there are two kinds, one is smaller than the other and lighter in color; the male is the larger and bluer. This kind i* th«-hardest to deal with as they locate their vic tim at a long distance and strike nearly as swiftly as a cannon ball It takes a quick man to shoot one So a brood is in great danger when one is in the vicinity as they will make several visits in a dav. These hawks are very careful not to ven ture near the keeper unless very hungry. The ben hawks do not seem to have as much intelligence and are not so harmful. Thiskind will return after the half devoured fowl and can easily captured by fastening a trap on the spot where the chicken was left. Snakes very often destroy young chickens espe cially if there are any nearby hid ing places There are many other enemies that we have to le«rn how to fijht before successfully raising number of chickens at one time.

I Children Improperly Trained There is a discordant note in the symphony of the home, and many are wondering why. Children who should be the joy and comfort of 'the parent art causing the worry lines on the bsow and the sleepless nights. The question comes: '"Who is to blame?" To the stu dent who studies things around him, the answer is 'Tis the parent who has the wroug idea of what constitu f es happiness for the little ones whom God has given as a blessing- The mad rush to get ".n the swin," to "hobnob with the gentry" is the whirlpool into wfyich parents have thrown their children and the 'punishment comes all to soon. Who is it that has trained his children to at'end religious services every Sunday? In fo; urn year*, parents took the family with them to church. Now thev say the poor little things want to play, and arc allowed to s'roll off into mischief. Young people who are allowed to stroll off into mischief. Young people who are allowed to have their own way, fret at the home life and cause dis content No wonder children grow up careless and free, when they are not taught that there is more in life than to fine Rothes and be the most sought for person in the set. There is but little edu-„ cation in the brain and none in the heait Girls quit school at an early age and pose as young ladies. At school many are allow ed to neglect books and engage in all the social functions of the town. Parents have lost out because they had foolish notions themselves. Life on Panama Canal has had one frightful drawback— malaria trouble —that has brought suffering and death to thousands. The germs cause chilis, fever and ague, bi iousne-s, jaundice, lassi tude, weakness and general debility.
