Sulphur is not good to give the young
chickens.
Kerosene and lard make good oint-
ment for scaly legs.
After the chickens are, two or three
weeks old they can be fed on cracked
wheat
If the eggs are to be Matched keep q
drake for every five ducks in order to
be sure.
Never keep slop hole where the
poultry can help themselves if you ex-
pect to maintain health.
One advantage with ducks is that
they do not harbor lice. They have
too much oil.
Old pieces of oil-cloth can be used to
good advantage as a covering for coops
in rainy weather.
One advantage with Pekin ducks is
that only a low fence is needed to con-
fine or keep them out.
On the farm the laying of five dozen
eggs ought to pay for keeping hen a
year. Ali above this is profit On the
farm it will nearly always pay to plant
few rows of sunhower seed especially
for the poultry. Geese are fond Of
weeds, especially of purslane. and will
often do good service in killing out
and destroying weeds. Very often a
few drops of turpentine put in the
drinking water at this time will pre-
vent tho gapes. IL the chicks are al

piece of bread will cure As rule
guineas should be Matched under hens
near the house. They are naturally
rather wild. and this will aid materi-
ally in making them gentle. if the
young guineas are kept near the house.
Milk is much better food for poultry
during the summer than corn. Corn is
heating and fattening. two conditions

The value of the manure should al.
ways be considered in keeping poultry
properly managed. 1t is one of the
best fertilizers that can be had and is
well worth the trouble of gathering up
and storing until ready to use.
Care must be taken that the nests are
kept as free from lice as possible. One
way of doing this will be to clean out
occasionally and substitute fresh, clean
material, burning up the old and using
kerosene. carbolic acid or sulphur to
clean out the nests.
As the weather becomes warmer it is
necessary to provide good ventilation
and the more thoroughly this is done
the more comfortable the poultry can
be kept. Direct drafts should. how
ever. be avoided, and yet at night. dur
ing the summer time. care should be
taken to have as cool as possible.-St

| He paused moment, a. II to make the
last declaration the more impressive; and
Frank Barker, taking advantage of the op-
portunity, remarked perfectly respect
| fully:
Il suppose you were in the service some
| time. and probably saw some engage
ments?"
The old veteran raised his eyebrows as
though surprised at the fnquiring tones,
then began in the slow recitative way which
gave promise of the desired story:
I'm the service? Oh, yes. my boy, was
in the service, sure! And any engagements,
did you say? Oh yes: run with the rest
from the first Bull Run; then was with
Pope in the second battle-that was hot
| one, can tell you! Let's see-that was
| away back along in the summer OF '62, and
the fall of that same year l had another
| taste of the sorrows of war at Fredericks-
burg under Burnside"
He seemed to sink into a reverie for q
moment, but with start began again:
I'm any engagements, did you ask Met
An old U. S. v, one of the rank and file?
Why, my boy, fought with Pleasonton at
Charlottesville, when poor Stonewall
Jackson fell, riddled by his own men"
The old man fell into soliloquy at this
recollection
"Ah me. they call Death the great lev
eler, and well they may. You forget the
man was rebel and think of him only as a
brother when you hear he has fallen.
But you asked about engagements" he
added, waking up again "Dear me, yes; it
was only the summer of that same year ]
found myself marching under General
Strong against Fort WagnH I suppose
you've heard time and again how poor
Strong and his companion in command,
young Shaw, of Boston, charged on the
fort; but Just as they reached the ditch
both gallant General and patriotic young
Colonel fell, the first mortally wounded the
other killed outright"
The old voice sank into soliloquy again.
'Oh, my Lord! they thought to heap in
fanny and opprobrium on the honored name
of Colored Robert Shaw by telling about
'burying him in the same pit with his mig
gers; but his grand old father made his
grave simply glorious and his own name
iliustrious by afterwards expressing his
willingness to let the mortal part of his
brave son stay and sleep on forever in the
trench with his niggers'"
There was a long pause unbroken by the
absorbed listeners in the arbor; then there
were signs of nervousness and emotion in
creasing every moment on the part of the
old volunteer, and when he spoke again his
voice was husky and he clutched continu-
ally at the sides of his coat as If trying to
hide himself away somewhere in its folds

my hand on your shoulder as q brother
puts his hand on the shoulder Of q brother,
say this day: Be manly and surrender
your heart to Christ. You have been long
enough serving the world; now begin to
serve the Lord who bought you. You

burdens; let Jesus Christ put His shoulder
under your burden.

HOW TO KEEP COOL.
Try and BE Good-Humorea and Carefully
Avoid the Seductive Ice.

Try and BE Good-HumOrea and Carefully
Avoid the Seductive Ice.
Now that Old Probabilities has
turned on the hot weather with firm
hand and fervid disposition, people
will be inquiring how to keep cool.
As matter of fact, common-sense
persons need no advice on the subject
They are cool under all circumstances
and conditions, unless it is when they
run to catch a street-car that has been
sent off by time-keeper who has no
watch.
The way to keep cool is to keep
gOod-humOred. There is no doubt
that good-humored men are sometimes
warm, owing to the fact that they are
jolly and fat, but no one ever heard
them complaining about the weather
to any great extent. unless it is when
they are caught out in a shower with
out an umbrella.
The Washington Post says the way
to keep cool is to eat sparingly of meat;
but this is nonsense. The coolest and
most agreeable person on earth is the
meat-eater, and the most irritable and
unhappy is the person whose digestion
will not permit him to eat meat.
Eat lean meat-tender steak and
chicken-with your vegetables and
you will have no trouble with the heat.
Pork should be avoided, of course; but
veal, mutton and all the vegetables,
pot-liquor ard dumplings. buttermilk
and corn bread 60 to make up din
ner to be enjoyed.
Above all things let ice alone. It is
a most deceptive affair. 1t is not only
the indus of microbes and bacteria,
but it is unhealthy, even when it is
pure. 1t paralyzes the stomach, ruins
the digestion and leads to Bright's
disease.
If you will drink. as you ought to.
drink water fresh from the spring. II
you want it seasoned, give it touch
of lemon and sugar; but let ice alone.
Ice is much colder in the summer than
it is in the winter, and it is no more
healthy at one season than at another.
We are giving some famous advice
here; but the best thing. after all. is to
keep in a good humor. The good
humOred man may get too hot Occa-
sionally, but it doesn't worry him; and
the man who isn't worried cares little
for the heat. Atlanta Constitution.

"Show me the editor, please" said
seedy man with a wild eye as he

''Here am" said the city editor;
"what's up?"
"Well. / read an editorial in your
paper yesterday about the United
States in 19S9-a century hence. you
know. You spoke of the difficulty OF
depicting the state of things in this
country hundred years hence. Now,
l have an idea about that, and came
up here to give it you"
"Why. thank you. thank you very
much. This gentleman is a stenogra.
pher. Sit right down, please, and ex-
plain your views to him. and he will
take them down, and We will print
them with great pleasure. Sit right
down. please"
'Well, no, l think won't do it now.
1 think l viii write them up some time
and bring them to you, he said, back
ing toward the door.
.Oh, no." said the city editor,
"please do not leave. 1 can't let any
one with an idea get away. Please sit
down at once. We would be glad to
have any thing that you have to say
any idea that occurs to YOU"
Thank you," he said. II guess not.
IL guess won't do it to-day-not to-
day. Thank you; some other time"
We'll. but" said the city editor,

of the matter"
"Well, / think / have an idea that
if nothing happens this will be one OF
the most fiourishing countries there is.
But can't possibly stay now. Good
morning."
This is an actual occurrence; and
the moral is that some people think
they could make a newspaper mighty
interesting if they had a chance, who.
when they get a chance, find that in
all the vasty deep of their empty
skulls there is not a single thought
