Poultry Items.

Bran and shorts moiStened with
water or buttcrmilk Should consti-
tutc the morning feed Of every
flock Of laying hens.
Nothing affords a woman more
satisfaction than administering to
the wants of a slender pocket book
With a flock OF fowls lntelligently
cared for she has a power in her
hand.
The best drug for poultry is car
bolic acid. Get a pint Of the crud-
est for fifty cents, put one ounce in
one gallon Of water, and sprinkle
it all Over the chicken house and
its furniture oKce a month.
Ducklings-the Young quacks-
that are not allowed to run to ponds
where frogs and tad-pools abound,
must have meat. Unlike chickens,
milk will not suffice. The duck
will not thrive on an entire vege-
table diet.
Sitting hens should not be fed
while on the nest. They need all
the exercise they are likely to get.
Too constant sitting makes them
Of bird disposition aud difficult to
manage when they come off with
brood. Eggs will stand a wide
range Of temperature without III
jury.

A Noble Boy.

One morning last week the engi-
neer of the express train on an east
ern road was startled by the sud
den appearance on the track ahead
of a boy whowas frantically waving
niece OF red flannel. Interpret
inc this, of course, as a warning OF
danger. the engineer immediately
Nhistled for "down brakes" just
then The train, which had been go
ing at the rate of sixty miles an
lonr. turned a sharp curve, and a
cry of horror broke from the lips OF
the engineer and fireman, for III
the centre of the track, but few
Yards ahead, was u large boul1er.
I'm a few seconds the tlain came to
standstill, the cowcatcher almost
touching the huge stone.
A few seconds later the boy who
had saved the lives of so many OF
his icllow-creaturcS WAS surround
ell hy the pale and excited paSsen
gels, who were listening to the sto-
ry Of the rescue.
81 was walking along the track
on my way to my Sunday-sclool
teachers house when | sec that
stun OH the track" began the little
fellow, modestly. and if his gram
mar WAS not of the best no one
thought Of criticiSing it then. II
lnew this train was pretty near
due, and l made up my mind "a
have ter stop her. So ! looked
around am found this here flannel
its piece of flag, ye see,
that some signal MANS fired away
AM ahead with it-an' that's
all there is ter tell"
"You are Il noble boy" said an
old gentleman, III a voice broken
with emotion. "FriendS," he ad
dvd. turning to his fellow-lassen
gers "this little hero must not go
unrcwardcd. l am going to pass
my hat around for contributions
for his benefit, and here is a five
dollar note fer my share"
Some of the passengers took
their departure in considerable
haste at this, and in few minutes
a heap Of CONS and crisp bank
rntcs were thrust into the hands OF
the bew!ldeIed and blusling little
fellow. Then the old gentleman
Who had started the subscription
handed him a card saying:
"IIere you have envy name and adj.
dress, my lac and if you ever need
a friend come to me-"
Then, the boulder having been
ltnoved from the track, the tram
started. The boy watched nnti.lt
disappeared in the distance; then
he, sat down OH the track and be-
gan counting his money. 1t was
1l.cn that five other boys emerged
from behind clump OF bushes by
tie road side aud advanced towards
our cX-her0.

Long Lived Statesmen.

Tho longevity of famous states
men is remarkable. Imagine Lord
Palmcrston acting vigorously as
Prime Minister of England when
over eighty, governing the great
British Empire with steady hand
and making speeches three hours
long IN the House of Commons,
and rising next day fresh as a man
Of forty! Think of the venerable
Guizot, the French statesman, who
at the age of eighty-scvcn was still
writing histories, presiding over
religious conventions, and carrying
ON lively discussions in the French
Academy.
The late Lord Lindhurst made
able speeches in the House of Lords
when he had passed his ninctietll
year; and his longtime rival, Lord
Brougham, wrote his autohiogra-
Ephy, in three goodly volumes, when
he had nearly reached ninety
years:
The Marquis Of Lansdownc, who,
as Lord Henry Petty, was Il leading
member of the "1all the Talents
Cabinet, of which Charles james
Fox was the Chief i'll 1906, WAS
still an active member of the House
of Lords nearly sixty years later,
in 1868, and died in that year at
the age of eighty-three.
The Duke Of Wellington took
part IN publicanairs until his death
IN 1852 in his cighty-third year.
In former generations energetic
statesmen of advanced years were
found thlckly scattered through
the pages of history. There WAS
the old Marquis of Winchester,
who could remember Edward ~,
the first York sovereign, in l4S3,
aud who when he died in 1872 at
the age of nincty.Seven, was hold
ing office under Queen Elizabeth,
Referring to tho statesmen Il
our own country, it is q familiar
fact that John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson, the second and third
President, both died the 4th of ')ll
~, 1896, just hall a century from
the day on which both signed the
Declaration of Indcpcndence-Ad
ANS being 81 and jefferson 93.-
President Andrew Jackson lived
to be 81, john Quincy Adams tt
be 81, and Madison S5.-Youth'>
Companion.

is how did it: l selected piece OF slop-
h ing land, prepared it same as for corn
then struck deep burrows three and one
hall feet apart, throwing the furrow each
time down hill, and making the plow run
as deep az possible; in the bottom Of
these burrows 1 drop the potatoes ten
inches apart, and covered each piece with

less. / then hauled out horse-stable

ing, with hopes of ultimate success.
When first came to Trego county in the
spring of 1878 made the same mistake
that most Of the old settlers made, that
is, tried to adapt this country to my
self, but after the exasperating failures
of the first four years, I reluctantly ex-
perienced change OF heart" and en-
deavored thereafter to adapt myself to
this country. The task has not been a
difficult one, and I believe I am on the
right road to success. What I have said
represents my own experience, and OBJ
servations of the experience of others
around me, and I believe represents the
best methods of cultivation for crops on
bench lands. In the future, as in the
past, 1 shall continue to observe the
methods of others, and when I find a
plan supposed to be better than that
now pursue shall Immediately adopt
it on part of my land for trial, and then,
if successful, will continue it. We all
live to learn, and our efforts should be to
make our crops more profitable, as sea-
son follows season, and secure the heavi-
est yield at the minimum of expense.

A Kansas Canal.

Travellers to Colorado via the Santa Fe
road have noticed for the past two OF
three years very large force OF men and
teams engaged in making a canal in the
vicinity Of Cimarron and farther west
Ii is now completed, and the water will
be turned into it in few days. The
canal is forty feet in width at the bottom,
six feet in depth, and seventy miles in
length. 1t has cost three-fourths of a
million dollars, and was built by A. T.
Soule the Hop Bitters man, of Roches-
ter, n. Y. The purpose it is designed for
is to irrigate and reclaim the arid region
around Spearville in Ford county.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on
the water supply. The Arkansas sinks
out of sight frequently in Western Kan
sas, and unless some system of sub
merged dam can be devised to check this
underhow and bring the water to the
surface, the enterprise will be failure.
