Details in Poultry Raising.

There are many little details connected
with poultry raising which, if neglected,
will affect the profits most decidedly.
An important matter is thrift. The
fowls should be kept in perfect health.
All the droppings under the rOost should
be carefully saved, and kept dry and
under cover. This will be useful for the
crop of corn the following season. When
a flock of 100 hens is kept and 200 or 300
chickens are raised, the feathers will be
found to be of no small account. They
can be sold for cash, or will be received
in exchange by the tin peddler for wares
from his cart. Use economy in feeding,
giving only what will be eaten clean at
each meal. From the growing stock Gull
the COckerels as soon as they are In con-
ditiOn to kill for market; all food given
after that time is fed at loss. 1t is con-
sidered best by some to kill ali yearllng
hens in August or September before they
begin to moult, for the first Is the best
laying season, and then it will be neces-
sary to make room for the growing
pullets.
On the management of the growing
stock much of the profits depend. Ii
not kept clean and in small t1Ocks to pre-
vent crowding, and the coops kept dry

will be checked and much loss
will result 4 too common practice
among farmers is to throw down to their
fowls broken ears of corn, enough tol
them to pick from for a day or two, Civ
ing little of anything else. and then they
wonder why the hens don't lay better
Common stock that is not kept specially
for laying, but to kill for market, car
bear corn diet and will fatten on it, but
the fowls will appear dull and not have
the bright appearance of laying pullet
The more the food of the laying hens !:
varied the better will be their health anc
consequent increase in the production o.
eggs. Another very important point l:
their breeding condition in spring. The.
should be free from excessive fat; b'
bright, active, and in perfect health.
\ good system of winter feeding 10
best results is to have the food lead,
about daylight. The kettle kept for tn
purpose should be put on the stove witt
water or milk, together with all accumu
lations of potato and apple parlngs,
little salt and pepper, and good ALLOW

alternate days. A great aid to the thrift
of the fowls is TO either furnish place
for them to scratch in for grain among
leaves, or give them the chat from the
barn floor, from which they will pick
much seed and broken clover leaves, of
which they are very fond.-Americd"

GRAnr AND BAsEAU.

When Grant wrote his personal
memoirs he bired General Badeau
q q secretary, and now the latter is
suing Grants widow for share in
the profits of the book, basing his
suit on the claim that he wrote 2
portion of the book. In one Of
Grants letters to Badeau occurs tho
following:
"You say that am a man of af-
fairs and can tell a simple story.
You imply that literary man must
supply some OF the deficiencies, and
that you are the only man who can
do it. If this is the case, General,
I don't want a book bearing my
name to go before the world which
I did not write TO such an extent as
to be fully entitled to the credit Of
its authorship. As soldier l wrote
my own orders, plans of battle, in
structions and reports, They were
not edited, nor was assistance rem
dered. As President 1 wrote every
official document / believe it is
usual for Presidents to write, bear
ing my name. All these have been
published and widely circulated,
and the public has become accus-
toned to my writing. They know
that it is not even an attempt to
initiate either literary or classical
style; that it is just what it is and
nothing else. II l succeed in tell
ing my story so that others can see
as do what l attempt to show, l
will be satisfied. The reader must
also be satisfied, for he knows from
the beginning just what to ex-
pect."
The above letter ought to have
demonstrated to Badeau that ne
could not teach Grant anything in
the way of writing clean cut, ex-
pressive Anglo-Saxon. Grant wrote
Us he fought, going directly to the
point, without any lourishes or cir
cumlocution.
No man ever wrote history that
was cleaner cut or told more di-
rectly than Grant. Every reader
understood every line OF it.
Future historians will try in vain
to catch the terse, happy style into
which Grant fell naturally. He has
''set the pace" for history writers,
and he showed his good sense when
he did not allow Badeau to spoil it.

Lecture.

60DOAtA MISUNDERSTANDING
Lecture.
Dean Matthews will fill the University
Church pulpit in the absence of DR.. War
ner, this morning. 1t will be a rich
treat to this large and intelligent audi
ence. In the evening q meeting Of the
Ladies' Foreign Missionary Society will
be held. Delegates will be present from
the different churches in the city. Mrs.
Bergman Bridges from England, will be
one of the speakers. An interesting
evening may be expected. .
A concert was given at the Chapel on
Friday evening by Miss Adele Wynne,
Of Los Angeles. The entire performance,
except an amusing episode, consisting OF
. discontented spouse who gave her liege
lord the benefit Of her tongue thrown in,
and quartette admirably rendered by
Messrs. w. F. Rice, E. A. Hardy,
F. H. Cuthbert and 7. r. Warren,
was given by Mise Wynne.
She is certainly prodigy. Thrown upon
her own resources, after painful and
successful surgical operation by DIR. Wise.
she determined, ct the age of 46, to be
both q musician and elocutionist. She
studied for the former under Prof. A.
Farini, of Los Angeles, and the latter
under the distinguished Prof. Knowlton,
of San Francisco. Not one in ten thou
sand, under the circumstances, could
attain to such excellence in both arts.
Her grace upon the stage, the clearness
and naturalness Of her voice, both in song
and reading, are . marvel. She has sew
eral very dattering testimonials from
distinguished men, among whom are
Mayor Spence and DR.. Wise, Of Los An
geles.
Prof. Weaver gave his fifth lecture in
the course Of ten, on Wednesday evening
Last. It was both interesting and highly

Youshful INDUSTRY.

All riders on street cars have noticed
the two little blaek-eyed boys who jump
on and play few airs on violin as an
Introductory to passing round hat. A
HERALD reporter asked the elder OF the
two boys how much they made day,
and in reply the youngster said: "Well,
we don't make more than from $3.50 to
50 on the average, because you see we
are at school until 4 O'Clock every day.
When we first came here from Wor-
cester, Massachusetts, about three
months ago, We used to collect about 81
a day, but the people have got used to
US; in fact" said the boy, 1--WE are q
sort OF Chestnut.
"What do you do with the money ?"
said the scribe.
"We give it to father, and it goes
to keep the house up. There are
six OF us altogether and sometimes father
doesn't make very much at his business
-he manufacturers those little gas ba-
looms they sell on the street. He taught
us to play almost as soon as we could
talk, bnt unfortunately we cannot read
music and that holds my brother and /
back great deal. We are going to learn
though" concluded the prattler, who
then went into the center OF the car and
played .Rock-a-bye Baby" to the in
tense delight of an old gentleman, evil

the players eyes glisten by the present
OF half-dollar at the conclusion of the
performance.

neys of the roads will be called on for
advice, and then the business will be
settled one way or the other"
Mr.. Tenbrocck said that the reported
purchase Of the Erie road by the Santa
Fe was Of course all absurd, and he
thought that the Atchison would for the
time be satisfied with its traffic between
Chicago and the Pacific coast "tlat is, I"
he said, "under their present capitaliza-
ton. They will undoubtedly build
ON TO San Francisco one Of these
days." continued Mr.. Tenbroeck,
"though not for some time yet,
~ the building OF the line between Kan
sas City and Chicago has entailed a vast
amount Of expenditure. The fact that
they have an agreement with the South
ern Pacific not to build into San Fran
cisco is Of course only contingent, for
they could give the necessary two years
notice and then go ahead.
Mr.. Tenbroeck left for the East last
night.

He Lost ais horse.

An amusing incident occurred at Lam
caster, Antelope Valley, last week, in
connection with the wild horse that Mr..
Gillibrand captured in that locality some
few days ago. Ile rode the animal from
his residence to town, a distance of
about three miles, and hitched It to a
post while he transacted some business
in one of the stores. While he was thus
occupied a couple Of freight trains came
in, and the mustang became greatly ex-
cited at the snorting iron horses that he
had never seen before. When Mr.. Gilli-
brand mounted his steed to return home
a number of onlookers remarked that it
would be rather o dangerous ride,
but off went the horse-breaker laughing
to scorn the suggestions for his safety. 1t
was about five O'Clock when he started
for home and about two the next morn
ing Lancaster was awakened by the ar
rival of some members of the Gillibrand
household who announced that their
chieftain was missing. Morning came
and still no signs OF the broncho- tanner,
SO search party was organized to scour
the country. But all in vain, they
searched high and low without even
finding trace OF the missing man for it
was impossible totrail him, owing to the
number Of well-beaten paths. All was
sorrow at the Gillibrand house that
night and the members of the family sat
in the cleaning discussing what could
possibly have happened to the truant,
when suddenly they heard his we'll
known whistle resounding y from
without. A rush to the door, and
from its open portals they saw, limp
ing painfully along, the absentee
looking tired, weary, dusty and hungry.
A sorry tale he had to tell-the horse
had run away With him soon after leav-
ing town, and headed straight for the
prairies from which it had been caught.
All OF the rideiSS efforts to check the
animal were in vain, and after he had
gone about twenty-five miles the climax
was reached by the horse falling over a
yucca stump and throwing his rider
heavily to the grohnd. When he got up
the horse was already about mile
away, SO there WAS nothing left to be
done but strike out for home afoot. It
was long journey and water was scarce,
but the trip wasc accomplished at last
and Mr.. Gillibrand is now meditating an
excursion back to the prairies, where his
steed is again in Company with his wild
brethren, though probably much an
noyed at the tranifnels Of bride and sad
die with which the hand Of civilization

THE swITCHMEN's STRIKE.
The Company Running Out Trains
as Usual,

as Usual.
There were no disturbances at the
Southern Pacific depot yesterday, and
the strikers are beginning to realize that
they are beaten. None Of the switchmen
have returned tn work and the cars are
now entirely handled by the recruits Of
the past two days. Although all Of the
brakemen have not yet gone back to
their trains, 1t is evident that they are
not disposed to stay out much longer, as
six crews reported for duty during the
day. The passenger trains went out on
time and five freights were made up and
run over the road. All Of the merchan-
disc that was sidetracked along the line
on the first day Of the disturbance Is
being brought in and in a day or two
everything will be again in full working
order. No hostile demonstrations oc-
Cured during the day but every precau-
tion was taken by the squad Of police
who were stationed about the depot.
Every train that went out was manned
by five or six armed deputies
who remained on board until the
switches had all been past and no fur.
ther danger probable. The switchmen
induced one Of the newly employed men
to desert yesterday, but beyond this they
gained no other ground. The freight
house is nearly cleared out, owing to the
fact that there have been but few trains
in during the last couple Of days, and it
has been necessary to suspend ninety
men until business is in full swing again.
1t was decided by the company to resume
night switching, 80 the yards presented
their usual lively appearance throughout

A FRISKY HORSE.
He Creates Some Excitement ON
First street.

He Creates Some Excitement ON
First street.
About half-past six O'Clock last night
South Spring street was enlivened by
runaway consisting Of horse, without
bride or harness, who came dsshing
down the street with all the friskiness of
a colt in a pasture. He was evidently
going north, but at First street he was
headed off by an officer on duty, so he
turned down that thoroughfare, and as
the road was rather crowded with
vehicles he took to the pavement. Nerv-
ous old ladies shrieked and fed into
convenient stores, some OF the young
er ones showed disposition to
faint, while the men, though endeavor-
ing to look brave, showed no desire to
check the intruder. His wild career came
to an end though at Campi's restaurant
where Officer Murphy was awaiting for
him. But he was by no means In the
tolls Of the law yet, for when an attempt
was made to seize him, he put back his
ears and ran open-mouthed at the crowd ,
which speedily scattered, leaving him
free once more. The crowd of onlookers
now numbered several hundredso he did
not get far, but he resisted arrest by kick
ing and biting at all who came within his
reach. But his minutes OF freedom were
numbered, for an individual with more
sense than the others, obtained . rope
which was thrown around the neck Of
the Bucephalus, and he was led of amid
ringing cheers to the police station.
