If your fowls are confined in limited
runs, feed twice day. If they have a
range, one feed early in the morning is
enough. Give them all thesteamed clover
hay they can eat; add to it some mill
stuff and little salt to make the mess
more palatable. If fed frequently during
the day. fowls learn to stand around
waiting and soon become lazy and good
for-nothing, besides being more liable to
disease. Feeding clover hay with plenty
of milk to drink gives a good healthy
flock. 1t is the best of egg-producing
foods.

II. When ten days old the rolled oats
may be omitted, and wheat one day and
cracked corn the next, may be used. Be
gin to teach chicks to eat wheat and
cracked corn early by sprinkling little
on the floor (about a tablespoonful daily
after they are week old.
IL. Young chicks do not eat much at
a time but they eat often. Do not omit
meal. Feed at regular hours.
13 After the chicks are three weeks old
the cake may be omitted, the food being
scalded instead, but the quantity of bran
should be reduced one-half.
IA. Bran is indigestible if fed raw, and
sometimes causes bowel disease, but if
cooked, or well scalded, so as to soften it,
the bran makes good food, as it largely
abounds in the phosphates being the best
bone-forming element that can be given.
Is. A chick must not be even damp
ened. Water should be given in a man
ner that only the beak of the chick can
become wet The chicks must not be al
lowed to tread in the water Dampness
is fatal
16. Get some fresh stone lime, slake it
with boiling water, then make quanti
ty of lime water Keep itin a Jug, corked.
To every quart OF drinking water add a
Gill of the lime water.
II. If the chicks appear weak, or have
weak legs, from rapid growth, put a tea
spoonful of citrate of iron and ammonia
Ca sold) in each quart of the water.
Is. A young chick is naked, like babe
just born, the down being no protection,
hence everything depends on plenty OF
heat. Better have the brooders too hot
than too cold Ii the chicks are with hens
they must have warm, light place, as a
hen cannot raise chicks in winter any bet
ter than it can be done artifcially as it
is not her natural period Of the year for
SO doing.
10. No thermometer is needed in the
brooder, or under the hen. If the chicks
crowd together especially at night, they
need more warmth. When they shove
their heads out of the sides of the brOoder,
or from under the hen, the heat is just
right. Whenever the chicks do not sleep
near the edges of the brooder, but get as
close to each other as possible, give more
heat.
20. When the chicks show signs of leg
weakness, have clogging Of the vent, and
bowel disease results, there is a lack of
warmth in the brooder, especially at
night. The night is when the chicks meet
with the greater number of difficulties.

Points on Broiler Raising.

our allotted space this week with an arti-
Gle from the pen of P. III. Jacobs, in the
Poultry Keeper, on "Points in Broiler
Raising" To any one engaged in raising
chickens for any purpose, if it is only
few broods, these rules are more valuable
than any 25-cent book published on the
subject. You should preserve them for
future reference; they may save you
brood of chickens some time. Following
is the article referred to:
AS so many are writing to us in regard
to feeding broilers, we give the following
rules, which should be pasted up for easy
reference We have endeavored to con-
dense as much as possiblein asmall space.
We also include a few hints or causes of
failure, with incubators.
1. If the chicks do not come out of the
eggs until the twenty-second day, or
longer, it indicates that the temperature
of the egg drawer was too low. The eggs
should begin to pip on the twentieth day.
2. If they begin to come out on the
eighteenth day it indicates that the aver
age temperature was too high.
3. If chicks come out weak it indicates
either too high or too low temperature,
or that the eggs were from imma ture pull
let's or Over-fat hens.
f. Give no food for thirty-six hours af-
ter the chicks are Matched.
5. They should then be fed every two
hours until one week old. After that time
feed them four times day until month
old, when three times day will suffice.
g. Keepa little box of ground charcoal,
one of clean ground bone, and one OF
small sharp flint, before them, with plenty
OF coarse sharp sand on the floor Also,
box OF ground oyster shells, or grit, but
in recommending these substances it may
be stated that any kind of sharp small
grit will answer.
T. The first feeding may be OF rolled
oats (dried slightly on the stove il the
wea ather is damp) rubbed between the
hands to crumbleit. Therolled (orfake)
oats are ready prepared, cooked, and can
be had of any grocer, being the prepared
OaGn0al IOr instantaneous pFepoFdClOH
OF oatmeal cruel. Feed them to the chicks
dry. Stale bread moistened with milk
may also be given.
8. On the third day after beginning to
/ feed, vary the food by giving the rolled
oats one meal, and prepared cake the
next The prepared cake is made by
4 using equal parts of bran, ground corn
and oats (corn and oats are usually
ground together) and middlings (ship-
stuff, which should be salted to season
/ it, intimately Mixed and cooked in pan
/ in the stove oven. Sift the corn and oats
Il first, and feed the coarse parts to fowls.
Il If fresh milk can he had the food may be
mixed with it before cooking. If not use
water. Crumble the cake fine when feed
ing. 1t should be fed dry.
9. Ground meat is sometimes used for
chicks. but results show that too much of

ought to do. Thegospel is preached enough,
but not practiced enough by US. There is
work for each of Us to do; there are poor to
minister to, sick to visit, unfortunate ones
to encourage, reforms to be wrought.
"If everything the Christian touched was
blest, if he showed to the world that his
mission was doing good, the church would
be the most popular institution in the
world. If the church was true to its pro-
fession, there would be no talk about church
aristocracy; infidelity would have no ground
for her boast, and those who now curse and
despise it would bless and attend it.
The church should lead in every moral
work. We ought to dot this town with
missions and try to save it. Why are we
SO Indifferent? There was wickedness
enough wrought in this city during the
State Fair to color our cheeks with the
blush of shame
Let us make our motto for this year,
Sacramento for God !" Let the cross be
our banner, the spirit our sword; let us
give united blast from our gospel trumpets,
and the walls of sin will fall and the city
will be Wonn

IT WAS JUSTIFIABLE.

So Says the Coroner's Jury Regarding the
killing of the Unknown Burglar.
An inquest was held by the Coroner last
evening in the case of the unknown burg
lar who was shot and killed Sunday night
by Edwin Keyser, who is employed as
engineer by the Capital Packing Company.
Keyser was the first witness called. He
detailed the story of the killing substan-
TALLY as it appeared in yesterdays RECORD
UNION. He said he was watching in the
shed in the rear of the cannery, in hope of
catching the thieves who had previously
entered the place and had stolen various
articles. Il went into the shed at about
half-past in the evening" he said, "and
waited until nearly IL o'clock. Then
heard footsteps outside, and knew that two
men were there. One of them said to the
other, BE easy, be easy They pulled
board off the shed and entered. One of
them approached the shelves on
which were the jars of preserves,
and then | called out, Hands up
at the same time cooking the shotgun
which had with me. Both boted for the
opening and l called out to them to stop.
One got out, and as the other was about to
follow him | shot him. He was about half
way through and facing me. After | fred
he got out and ran short distance. and l
after him. He fell right close to the en-
trance of the office of the cannerv. / ran
up towards him just as Mr.. Sharp, the
nlghtwatchman, came down He said ::
You lost your man; / saw him going like
- shot out of gum / said, No, sir
here heis.' Sharp came up and said, Let's
turn him over l placed the gun mn
against the building and turned him over
on his back. He gasped once and died. l
teiephoned for the police, and waited till
they came. / never saw the deceased be-
fore to my knowledge l recognize some
of the clothing which he had on as being
my own, and which had been stolen from
me-
DR.. G.. A. White testified that he had
performed an autopsy upon The body of the
deceased. He said there were bruise7 ON
the right cheek and over the right eve. and
lscerated glnshot wound on the left
thumb. The main charge of shot passed
through the breast, between the third and
fourth ribs, entered the upper part of the
perecardium and tore through the auricle
of the aorta, completely obliterating the
same. The charge of shot together with a
portion of the wadding lodged in the left
| lung.
There were no more material witnesses,
and the case was submitted 10 the Jury.
| The latter found, afier short deliberation.
that the name and nativity of this man is
unknown 10 us; that he came to bis death
| from a guUshoi wound in the breast at the
| hands of one Edwin C. Keyser; that it was
justifiable homicide, as the deceased was

ADJUSTMENTS,

The Metropolitan Theater was filled last
night by an audience, the anticipations of
which had been raised to high pitch. 1t
was not disappointed. THE Stowaway" is
a melodrama well acted throughout. 1t
is a sensational composition dealing with
low life in London and some middle sta
ton people, and is not more impro-
bable than the tales of woe, con-
spiracy, wrong and outrage that come to
US daily over tue wires. 1t has not literary
merit and addresses the taste for the sensa-
tional and melodramatic rather than the
intelligence. In short, it is dime novel
on the stage. The scenery used is that of
the company, with single exception, and
is novel and effective, and two scenes are
of pronounced beauty. The corner of low
London, in the first act, is a fine piece of
intricate stage setting, and gives a very
good representation of some of the
low levels of poverty, wretchedness
and crime in the great city.
In the fourth act full-rigged
and handsome forty-foot yacht is put upon
the stage. 1t is a decidedly new scenic
effect and is admirably carried out, the act
being played wholly on the deck of the
yacht. A closer approach to reality in put
ting large sailing boat upon the stage
could scarcely be made. In the last act
there was a fine setting of the entrance,
through an old wood to an English villa.
While there is not great demand for su-
perior acting, there are two character
parts that are conspicuous by their origin
ality and the skill of the actors, Miss
Elmore as newsboy, and Mr..
Booker as Dickey Dials, the stowagay.
All the others did that given them to do
well, however. The safe cracking scene,
by men the management assures its au-
diences are experts and practical burglars,
was carried out in what must be assumed,
under that statement, in approved" style.
1t was sensation lob" that drew from
the gallery rounds of applause 1t is very
easy to understand how piece SO void of
literary merit and dealing with very ordi-
nary characters, and story that has its
villain whois seeking to keep the heir out of
his heritage, and to marry the heroine who
loves the discarded heir; play with news
boy and tramp and hired ruffians, de-
crept old man and faithless confidential
clerk-his nephew-draws as does THE
Stowaway." 1t is because the play is
backed by fine scenery, novel effects, is
rapid in action, and has startling tableaux
in plenty, and one scene introducing the
largest vessel ever put upon the stage.
There will be second and final perform
ance this evening.
