bondage Of Office holding yesterday evening
just before the whistle sounded at pm.
Fourteen Of the lucky ones were compositors,
one was an imposer, one was driver, the other
ranked as a laborer. 1t is understood that the
force now in the Office is larger than necessary
and it will not be surprising if number Of
other dismissals come to the surface before
August /. Several hundred people were very
much surprised yesterday when they realized
that there had been a discharge which missed
their heads. They were not exactly disap-
pointed, but their gloomy forebodings failed to
materialize and they are now looking forward
with good deal Of miserable anticipation to
the next volley.

Young Chickens.


NV hens for grass run have an or.
chard of several acres. Grass and free
range are essential in making eggs fer
tile and getting strong chicks. When /
set my hens | use n cheese-bOX cutting
ii so the hen can get off and on without
breaking the eggs ! whitewash 1t in
side and out, and use straw well
broken, for nests. After placing the
eggs in the nest, / put some sulphur on
them and when it is dark place the hen
on the nest, and give her whole corn
and water in her coop. L part off all
my settlers so that they cannot get on
one anothers nests. At tue end of nine
DAYS | look at the eggs, and take out
hatch | do not disturb the chicks for
twenty four hours. 1t is better to let
them alone, as they are stronger for it.
If stormy. do not put them out Of
doors for the first few days. The first
week | feed them hard boiled eggs,
bread and crackers soaked i'll milk, and
all the milk they can drink, and feed
them often. 1t is a great deal of work,
but 1t pays to do 1t.
The second week | give them corn
meal well cooked, so that it will crum-
BILE when / feed it. Also some egg and
bread soaked in milk. fine cracked corn
and wheat. Alter that L give all tne
meal. corn, and wheat they want. Eggs
will start chickens to growing quicker
than anything that | know of. Out of
ninety-five | did not lose but three on
this diet. / use barrel with a board
fitted into il for coop. This is about
II inches wide in the widest part of the
barrel. Leave it back y inches from
the front of the barrelto give the chicks
chance to step up from the edge ofthe
barrel to the board which is about II
inches high. put small yard in front
of the barrel, to give the hen chance
to come out. and keep the chickens in
on rainy day by putting up boards
around the yard with driven stakes. The
ward is made of lath or narrow strips =
feet long. Is inches high and 20 inches
wide. put the lath y inches apart on
the vertical. / cover rubber Blankets
over the coop and yard on rainy days,
and whitewash the barrel once week.
This keeps off lice and makes II sweet.
After the hen weans the chicks, L
change them to the house that | keep
them in during the winter, but give
them plenty of air and sand on the floor
While IN the small coops l leave about
two inches at the top of the board that
