4Jreat Poultry Operations. — H. 



S. Karsendick, New Orleans, purposes hav- 

 ing one of the largest poultry farms in the 

 world. Altho now well stockt, he will in- 

 stall 55 new Prairie State incubators, capa- 

 ble of adding to his big flocks about 15,000 

 chicks every third week. In Georgia, State 

 Senator White, at Smyrna, has bought 10 

 of these incubators, and G. M. Clark & Co., 

 at Kensington, 10 of the same capacity. 

 These will be among the largest poultry 

 operations in this country. All their appar- 

 atus, incubators, brooders, etc., were made 

 by the Prairie State Incubator Co., Homer 

 City, Pa. Our readers interested in chick- 

 ens should write for their liiSpage catalog, 

 not forgetting to mention the American 

 Bee Journal.

sooner up to them than he begins to 

 munch on its leaves ; then lies down 

 to rest. After awhile he tries it again, 

 and the first thing you know he's all 

 right, and ready for all the tender 

 grass he can get. 



But of all the "cute" animals 

 familiar to us is the festive mule. He 

 knows a great deal more than the 

 drivers who generally have supervision 

 over him. When treated kindly Mr. 

 Mule is very tractable and industrious, 

 but if abused he tries to "even up" 

 scores by a vigorous kick when the 

 chance oflfers. I admire his pluck 1 



From one cause or another he, too, 

 gets shy on his feed, hangs his head 

 down, with ears nearly to the ground, 

 just able to wabble to the sunny side of 

 the barn. Poor Mule looks very dis- 

 consolate — not even a handful of oats 

 will prove an allurement. But he 

 smells his medicine from afar 1 Open 

 the gate and you'll see him make a 

 straight shoot for a bunch of jimson- 

 weed growing in such luxuriance just 

 below the pig-pen, down there. What 

 a breath that mule must have after his 

 feast ! But it won't be three days be- 

 fore he will be kicking up his heels like 

 a trained "foot-baller." 



Because of bad harness, muley often 

 has a sore back which he proceeds to 

 cure as follows : He hunts up the 

 thickest patch of smartweed in the 

 slough — near the creek, you know — and 

 he'll roll and roll over those weeds un- 

 til he has rubbed on plenty of its juice, 

 and the mud that also sticks to him 

 acts as a piece of court-plaster to pro- 

 tect the sore while it is healing. Isn't 

 that good mule-sense ? 



The most pathetic, because the 

 meanest, use that mules and horses 

 are finally put to, in some European 

 countries — France and Austria in par- 

 ticular — is being driven into leech- 

 lakes, where the leeches may thrive 

 and fatten for market on the poor old 

 horses and mules that have so long
