through February and March, giving
good supply of eggs if not too old But
it is better not to allow such birds to go
into the winter. They are generally fat,
after having finished the annual moult,
and should be killed for the table. After
the second annual moult hens are apt to
become egg-bound, especially if well fed
and fat. The excess of fat that accumu-
lates about the lower intestines aud ova-
ries weakens these organs and renders
them incapable of performing their
Offices. Hence the fowl suffers and be-
comes profitless. When left too long
the flesh becomes feverish and unfit for
food. The better way is to avoid tins
trouble since there is no cure, by not
allowing the birds to go into the second
winter. Trouble of this kind seldom
occurs with pullets or young hens. To
obtain supply of winter eggs, We must
have the chicks out in March or April
Leghorns or some of the smaller breeds,
Will do in May or the first of June, but
the Brahmas and Cochins must come off
early, that they may have the full season
for growth The Asiatics are generally
good layers in winter, and need less arti-
fetal heat, rs nature has not furnished
them with ornamental appendages which
suffer by exposure to frost. For them it
is not necessary to spend large sums in
warm buildings. What they can dis
pense with in this respect they demand
in feed, which must be given regularly.
The combed varieties require warmer
quarters and SUMMER exposures than the
Asiatics, and are good layers after De
cember and early January. They will
lay in the fall if early Matched, but the
change of fall to winter, and the getting
into winter quarters affects them, and
they seldom commence again before the
days begin to lengthen, at which time
Brahmas will cease egg production and
become broody. Where one has the con-
venience it is well to keep both kinds,
in order to insure supply of eggs. 1t
is useless to expect many eggs from old
fowls of any variety. Have the buildings
ready early, and the fowls of the right
age and in condition to insure success.
The business of our domestic hen is to
produce eggs, and we must feed her for it.

A stranger in Bodie one day last week
in eating a plate of hash at restaurant,
being very hungry, neglected to chew it
properly and swallowed large coat but
ton. They doctored him for pneumonia
three days before he was able to explain:
Then they fed him big button-hole tied
to string and fished it out in no time.
He now screens all his hash through a
cane bottomed chair very carefully before
eating.

About Hogs.

The old practice is done away with 1t
pays no longer to keep over winter any
hogs except those specially intended for
breeding. The most acceptable breeds
can now be made to mature III eight or
ten months. If one man can make hogs
weigh 800 pounds in ten months, all can.
Pigs should be given all they will eat,
and of the best kind, from the hour they
begin to eat until they are taken to mar
ket They need no time of rest, Ike
some of the plants of the vegetable king
dom. Rush them right through. Never
keep what are called stock hogs. They
should and must be all fattening hogs.
II is the worst kind of waste to let pigs
get poor at any stage of their existence.
Besides, warm weather is the best time
to fatten pigs. With warm quarters they
can be safely fattened until February,
and in five cases out of six that is the
best month to sell in. But it is better to
keep hogs TOO cold than too hot in their
quarters. Keep them from the cold and
snow. Keep them out of straw stacks
and manure piles. With sulphur and
coal oil keep them clear of vermin. Feed
and water them regularly, so that they
will lie down most of the time. Give
them all the surplus ashes from the
house But keep, if possible, no hogs
over the entire winter. Hogs pay, and
pay largely, if managed right.

The Fate Of Il Picture.

The Judgment of Solomon, by Ru-
bens, while in the museum at Antwerp,
was struck by cannon ball during the
siege in 1882, and was so damaged that
its repairs amounted to 1000 francs
It's warlike adventures did not. however,
end here, for after it's removal TO Paris il
received another cannon shot during the
revolution in 1913, which struck it, if we
are able to believe tradition, in exactly
the same spot as the former one This
wound has also been carefully healed,
and the veteran picture will now, ii is to
be hoped, find more peaceful home
than has hitherto fallen to its lot.

What Constitutes High Farming.

A Philadel phia exchange says: AT n
meeting of the Lancaster County Agri-
cultural and Horticultural society, last
week, the above question was discussed
among others, by Mr.. Henry M. Engle,
Of Marietta, who said: "The question
If hard one to answer. Among emin-
ent agric,lltulists there exists o great
diversity of opinion. Some say that
high farming consists in a heavy applica-
ton of manures; others that high farm
ing consists in making the farm yield the
best paying crops. In this view tobacco
g9Vmg in this county may be regarded
Gbigh farming, as it undoubtedly pays
Just now better than any other crop. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
the tobacco gets the best land, the best
manure. the best cultivation and the
most unremitting care; while the potato
patch IN the next field gets poorer soil,
little or no manure, is but slightly cult
waited, and is rankly overgrown with
weeds. Where this state of affairs exist
there Is no high farming. AS general
rule he would say there was high farm
ing where everything is neat and clean,
anu all the crops well cultivated; build
LmLgs, fences, etc, are kept in good condi-
non, and where the farm products exceed
ta' farm expenses. The highest farming
mat mas come under his observation is
mat OF truck farming, where two or three
crops are grown in a single season on the
same ground, and any one of the crops
""'lid pay expenses. In truck garden
ing ne had known as much rs s., 900
worth OF products to be taken from a sim
8ie acre There is, of course, system
ol lligh farming that does not pay. This
system may be Illustrated 10y the expe-
neiice OF the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
VINO, when asked how he could afford to
pay SbeO per acre for land and get such
gaineIent crops, said he did it by put

was recently told by q young French gen.
tlsman (the son of the Prefectof La Rochelle)
one of the strangest romances of real life
that ever came to my knowledge. Some four
years ago a peasant boy who lived on a farm
near the town of ACKNOWLEDGMENT saw and
fell in love with the beautiful daughter of
q gentleman of good fortune and position, he
being At that time seventeen years of age and
the young lady just sixteen. This new
"Claude Melnotte " was so madly in love that
he went straight to the house of the young
girls parents and demanded her hand in
marriage. The father treated the preposter-
Gus proposition with good-natured scorn.
"Come back when you have an income of $40,-
600 100000 francs)." was his answer, " and
then we will see about it," Tn infatuated
youth took him at his word, and forthwith
set to work. Now one of the peculiarities Of
the town Of Clermont- Ferrand is q scarcity
of water. There is no river near it, so it
relies for its water supply OF springs and
wells. Under these circumstances q spring is
a valuable piece Of property and commands
a relatively high price. So the young peasant
lover set off for an adjacent mountain, there
10 search for hidden springs. My informant
said that lie had honeycombed the whole side
of the mountain with his works, constructing
at one point a%tunnel overtwo miles in length.
All this was executed with his own hands.
he WOFkS IlOul DAWN 10 uaTk, lives upon
potatoes of his Owl planting, and never
spends SO much as a sou upon a mug of beer.
Every Sunday he goes to mass in the town,
after which he proceeds to the house of his
ladv-love, to ask if she is married or is likely
to he. On receiving a response in the mega
tive he plods contentedly homeward and starts
out afresh to his toll on the morrow. This
life has continued now for full four years.
Up to the present time he has discovered three
important springs, each of which he sold for
$1,000, but, though now possessed of what for
a man in his condition of life is wealth, he
abates none of the hardships of his existence.
He has one fixed idea, namely, to become the
possessor of a fortune sufficient to enable him
to claim the hand of the object of his blind
passion. Yet no one who knows the parties
even imagines That the young lady will ever
consent to marry him. She is now twenty
years of age, and is pretty, refined and &C
complished, while he is a coarse, unlettered
peasant, without even physical comeljness, as
he is short and thick-set, with a broad stolid
countenance. What will be the end of his
dream, l wonder? Will he go mad or break
his heart the day tha. he finds his beloved
either married or betrothed? Or will he die
some day of privation and overwork, with a
vision of success before his eyes ePhiiadel-

THE NEW ROUTE EAST.
Quick Time, Low Rates and a Pleasant
Trip.

Hundreds of Montanians who have not
been to the Estates for years, are looking
forward with pleasure to a trip sometime
during the present spring. The cause of this
general leave-taking is due largely to our
long season of prosperity, but vastly more to
the fact that we now have, practically, a
through rail route from Montana to the cities
of both the Atlantic and Pacific slopes. The
Utah and Northern Railway is at last so near
that the former dreaded stage ride has
dwindled to one that in comparison is a mere
pastime. Passengers can leave Butte, Helena,
Deer Lodge or Virginia City on Monday
morning, take breakfast at Ogden about
Wednesday, and line at Chicago, st. Louis or
San Francisco Saturday and by the first of
June, they can shorten this time about one
day.
The rails are now so near Red Rock that
we may fairly consider that the point at
which the bulk of the east bound travel will
change from the Concord coach to the
luxurious Harton reclining char cars of the
Utah and Northern, Red Rock is only 100
miles south of Helena, 1876 miles south of
Deer Lodge, l2O miles south of Butte, 1OS
miles from Virginia City, and so miles from
Salisbury. Taking the average of these dis
tances as a basis we find that the railroad at
Red Rock has a large advantage over the river
at Benton. Stages and trains run daily and
connections are close and sure through to all
points in the United States. The delays and
uncertainties of navigation are unknown on
the southern route. Considering the luxury,
safety and speed assumed the rates to Omaha
from our prominent cities ($10O 1st class,
$75 I'd class and S45 emigrants) are
really very reasonable. Through tickets are
also OH sale at the different offices of Gilmer,
Salisbury & Co. to all important cities of the
union at proportionately low rates. Emigrants
and second class passengers have first class
accommodations OH stages, a marked i'm
provement over last years custom of putting
them through on mail-wagons. Indeed there
is much pleasure in store for the average
Monlanian who is about to make his long
anticipated trip east by gail, and to our
readers in the east who contemplate 4 journey
to Montana We can commend the above show
ing just as heartily.

A Boy Or, n Farm.

Say what you will about the general USE
fulness of boys, it is my impression that a
farm without a boy would very soon come to
grief. What the boy does Is the life of the
farm. He is tie factotum, always in demand,
always expected to do the thousand indispen-
sable things that nobody else will DO. Upon
him fall all the odds and ends, the most
difficult things. After everybody else is
through he has % finish up. His work is like
a woinan's-perpetually waiting ON others.
Everybody knows how much easier il is to eat a
gooddinner than to:wash the dishes afterwards.
Consider what a boy on a farm is required to
do things that must be done, or life would
actually stop. 1t is understood, in the first
place, that he is to do all the errands, to 60 to
the store, to the post office, and to carry all
sorts of messages. If he had as many legs as
a centipede, they would tire before night.
His Two short limbs seem to him entirely in
adequate to the task. He would like to have
as many legs as a wheel has spokes, and
rotate about in the same way. This he tries
to do; and the people who have seen him
turning cart-weels'' along the side of the
road, have supposed that he was amusing
himself and idling his time; he was only
trying to invent a new mode of locomotion, so
that he could economize his legs, and do his
errands with greater dispatch. He practices
standing on his head, in order to accustom
himself to any position. Leap-frog is one of
his methods of getting ovef ground quickly.
He would willingly go an Grand any dis
lance if he could leap-frog with a few other
boys. He has a natural genius for combining
pleasure with business. This is The reason
why, when he is sent to the spring for a
pitcher of water, he is absent so long for he
stops to poke the frog that sits on the stone,
or if there is a pen-stock, to put his hand over
the spout and squirt the water a while. He
is the one who spreads the grass when the
men have cut it; he slows it away in the barn;
he rides the horse to cultivate the corn, up
and down the hot, weary rows he picks up
the potatoes when they are dug; he brings
wood and water, and splits kindling; he gets
up the horse, and puts out the horse whether
he is in the house or out of it, there is always
something for him to do. just before
school in winter he shovels paths in summer
he turns the grindstone. He Knows where
there are lots of wintergreens and sweet
flags, but instead of going for them, he is to
stay in doors and pare apples, and stone
~raisins, and pound something in q mortar.
And yet, with his mind full of schemes of
what he would like to do, and his hands full
of occupations, he is an idle boy, who has
nothing to busy himself with but school and
choresi He would gladly do all the work if
somebody else would do the chores, he thinks;
nd yet I doubt If any boy ever amounted to
nything in the world, or was of much use as
man, who did not enjoy the advantages Of
liberal education in the way of chores.
