REARING YOUNG FOWLS.
The Effect of Overlooking on Chicks,
Ducks and TURKEYS.


Ducks and Turkeys.
The successful rearing of young
chicks depends to very large extent
upon the choice of the right food.
Nine-tenths of the dead chicks are lost
by overlooking with unsuitable food.
The young chick needs warmth more
than any thing else during the first
few weeks of it's life. Its respiration
is rapid and a large quantity of food
is consumed in sustaining this func-
ton, and in providing suitable material
for the production of this vital heat
lies the great secret of success in rear
ing these tender animals. Corn
coarsely ground is the best staple food,
being large heat producer, and the
less this food is mixed up with such
substances as hard-boiled eggs. milk
curd and other unnatural additions
the better Cracked corn and wheat
are alone sufficient for young chicks,
and if any thing is given to make a
substitute for the worms and insects
which the hen gathers for them when
they are kept at large. it may be finely
chopped lean beef, which they will
take with avidity. Too much food is
fatal and produces the sleepy, stagger-
ing condition in which so many of
them perish. Fresh water, too, is indis-
pensable, for the waste of heat from
the slight, puny creatures causes a
large evaporation of moisture. A num-
Der of chicks kept in an artificial
brooder will drink three or four times
in an hour, while they will eat little
food once every hour, and this little
and often is the best for them.
The difficulties met with in rearing
young ducks and turkeys are chiefly
due to the same excessive feeding.
Soft food is recommended by nearly all
the writers upon poultry rearing. 1t
is quite safe to approximate natural
conditions in respect to feeding as
closely as possible. The natural food
of the wild turkeys and ducks are hard
shelled insects, seeds, vegetable mat
ter; and these birds rear full broods
upon this diet. A food commonly rec
commended for turkey chicks is chopped
egg, curd of milk and bread crumbs,
with red pepper. Perhaps the pepper
is useful to help digest the egg and
curd, but it is not otherwise required.
For three seasons past the writer has
reared full broods of youag turkeys on
corn and buckwheat coarsely ground
and fed dry. To rear the whole of
brood of twelve on this food without
any difficulty or ailment at the sup
posed critical times suggests the suita-
bility of it to the necessities of the
young turkeys, and the dryness of
the food is doubtless one excellent feat
ure of it. Ducks do not require soft
food, and crushed oats fed in shallow
dish with water in it meets their natu-
raj requirements and habits exactly,
and is safe and excellent food. When
any young bird appears stupid, sits
down and sways its head sidewise,
with half-closed eyes, it is suffering
from overlooking, and this is the way
in which nearly all of the lost ones
die.-M y Times.

THE BABY'S SHOES.
The Touching Sight Which Led Steady
Drinker to Reform.

"No, won't drink with you to-day,
boys" said well-dressed young man
to several companions, as they set
tied down in an uptown cafe the other
evening, when the decanter was
passed. 1.-The fact is, boys, have Quit
drinking, in fact have sworn off"
He was greeted with shouts of laugh
ter by the jolly fellows around him;
they put the decanter under his nose,
and INDUCED in many jokes at his ex-
pense, but he refused to drink and was
rather serious about it.

in with little parcel in his hand.
"Tremblingly he unwrapped it, and
handed the article to the pawnbroker.
Give me ten cents And boys, what
do you suppose it was? A pair of
baby's shoes; little bits of things. with
the bottoms only tritie soiled, as if
they had been worn once or twice.
Where did you get theseP" asked
the pawnbroker.

"No, she won't need them, because
she's dead. She's lying at the house

GAS he said this the poor fellow
broke down, bowed his head on tho
counter and wept like child. Boys,
you can laugh if you like, but have a
little baby of my own up home, and L
swear I'll never drink another drop"

ment each was busily engaged in read

best known as Porte Crayon,'' was
venerable-looking man, with huge
white whiskers and mustache cover

The late Bronson Alcott be-
iieved that he could propagate his
ideas best by conversations. Accord
ly, since 1889, he had held converse
lions on his chosen subjects, and in
many and widely-separated parts of
the country. In later times he visited
and spoke in the schools wherever he
happened to be lecturing or convers-
ing, particularly in the West, where
he was warmly welcomed in his annual
tours. His home was at all times a
center of hospitality and a resort for
persons with ideas and aspirations.
Some Of the relatives of the late
Barbar Frietchie in Frederick, Md,
recently sent to Mr.. John G. Whittier,
who immortalized the venerable lady
in verse, number of table articles
which formerly belonged to Mrs.
Frietchie. Mr.. Whittier acknowl-
edged the receipt of the articles and
stated in his letter that he had become
convinced that his poem entitled
Barbara Frietchie' was based upon
supposed incident that had no founda-
ton, but that he was glad to know,
nevertheless, that she was loyal
woman.
Perhaps the most singular curiosi-
ty in the book world, says The Book
a0orna, is volume that belongs to the
family of the Prince de Ligne, and is
now in France. It is entitled "The
Passion of Christ" and is neither
written nor printed. Every letter OF
the text is cut out of leaf, and being
interviewed with blue paper, is as east
ly read as the best print. The labor
and patience bestowed upon its COM
position must have been excessive, es-
pecially when the precision and
minuteness of the letters are consid-
cred. The general execution in every
respect is, indeed, admirable, and the
velium is of the most delicate and
costly kind. Rudolph II of Germany
offered for it in 1910 1900 ducats,
which was probably equal to 10000 at
this day.

SOUND LOGIC.
The Growth of Temperance-TO Drink Is
to Be Weak - The Voice of Public

The Growth of Temperance-TO Drink Is
to Be Weak - The Voice of Public
Opinion.
But whatever opinions we may hold
as to the best means of promoting So
briefly, there is no question that the
evil of intemperance in this country
was much greater in the early part of
the century than at present; and the
wave continues to subside. Alison,
the historian, has shown that drunken
ness is essentially the vice of savages
and barbarians; and it is easy to OBJ
serve in a cultivated people that those
who are the least civilized suffer most
injury from indulgence in drink. Ed
ucation, in opening up new sources of
pleasure and lending diversity to the
interests which rob life of some of its
wearying monotony, helps to liberate
us from the sway of appetite, and thus
makes the attraction of animal indul-
gence less irresistible. Then the mo-
tives to labor, which are greater here
than elsewhere, are, at the same time,
reasons for sobriety. In no other society
are the weak pushed SO pitilessly to
the wall, do the strong so uniformly
succeed; and drink, unless it be pure,
which it rarely is. and unless it be used
with moderation, which is not to be
hoped for, weakens the body, dulls the
mind and deadens the moral sense.
Hence, to drink is to be weak. is to
have in the race for life an unsteady
step. clouded intellect and an infirm
purpose; and in the growing light of
this truth men see more and more
plainly that indulgence of this kind is
not only wrong but foolish. Hence
the voice of public opinion, through
whatever organ it utters itself, be-
comes more and more emphatic in de-
nouncing intemperance. The railway
president knows that glass of whisky
may wreck train, the ship-owner that
it may sink a ship, the bank director
that it may rob his vault, the clergy
man perceives that the saloon hurts
the church, the statesman that it leads
to law-breaking. and the physician
that it undermines health, and even
those who, feeling most keenly the
weight and WEAKNESS of modern life.
would sacrifice almost any thing to
bring back the careless light-hearted-
ness of the early pagan Greeks, are
driven to confess that Bacchus can not
be helpful god for us.-J L. Spald-
