Less Food in Summer.

In summer the less food given the bet
ter, provided the hens have a range. But
here is case where they have no range,
and the reader asks:
"Do you recommend soft or scalded
feed, such as clover and bran, or oats and
wheat and bran, for morning feed during
summer? Hens don't have much run
where there is green stuff"
The best food in such case is chopped
grass (of any kind) with bran sprinkled
over it. If grass is scarce use vegetable
tops, cooked potatoes or turnips, oreven

Lime from Oyster Shells Insoluble.


oyster shells was of no service to a hen
to make egg shells. A gentleman
wrote us asking how a hen could discrim-
mate between that of shell and grain.
Lime from oyster shells, marble, chalk,
etc, are carbonate of lime, and as such
minerals are insoluble they only serve as
grit or grinding material, while the lime
from clover hay or grain has already
been prepared, ready for assimilation
through it's combination with vegetable
acids. No material will serve as food that
cannot be dissolved and passed into the
blood, and through the blood to the egg,
so says Brother Jacobs, editor of the
Poultry Keeper, whois the best authority
we have on poultry and is chemist by
profession.
also said Quoting from one of author
ity) that 100 pounds of ground shell was
sufficient for 100 fowls for one year.
Speaking from my own experience shall
have to take that back. While both of
us are stating facts, for the party who
made the statement lived where other
grinding material was plentiful and the
fowls only used the ground shell prepared
for them as variety, while in Florida
they only get what is given them; and |
find that pen of sixteen fowls will eat
from one to one and half pounds per
week of fresh ground shell, or over two
pounds each in a year.
In circular before me of the Webster
Glover Cutter, a quotation from recent
article by P. H. Jacobs has the following
to say about clover hay DIS food for
fowls: While hall ton of corn or wheat
produces less than pound OF lime, white
clover contains over thirty times as much;
red clover twenty eight times as much. AS
ahesh former and albumen producer clover
contains IL per cent, corn attraction over
10 per cent 1t is, therefore, equal to corn
or wheat pound for pound, as a flesh
forming and heterogeneous food Corn,
however, contains sc per cent. OF heat ele-
ments, and clover 35 per cent. of the
phosphates. Clovercontains seven times
as much as corn; ten times as much sui
phur ten times as much magnesia, four
times as much soda, and fully as much
dry matter.
Francis A. Mortimer, of Pennsylvania,
who keeps 1000 fine breed fowls and feeds
scientifically, says had he known of clover
hay as poultry food four years ago he
could have saved $1 900, and since he be-
gan to use it he finds fewer sick hens,
more eggs are laid, the males are more
vigorous and potent and the eggs hatch
well.
An ordinary cutter, such as is used for
stock, will not answer for fowls. The hay
or grass should be cut short if you want
thefowls to eat it clean. The Webster
cutter has eight revolving knives, a self
feed and self-sharpener and will cut all
green food as we'll as hay and has a larger
capacity than any yet brought out for
pOultry. We shall have more to say
when we have seen it work. We are going
to put up quantity of crab grass hay as
soon as the weather settles. While it is
not equal to clover it is a very good sub
stitute. Our flock is doing splendidly ON

The outcome of the Palacios-Brt-

people to think twice before start
ing suits, the only purpose Of which
is to extort money.
The plaintiff was a woman who
claimed to have been criminally as
saulted by Britain, in whose family
site worked. She wanted several
thousand dollars for the outrage.
The defendant declined to be black
mailed, and went into Court and
proved that the plaintiffs regular
business was to extort money from
people by threatening TO bring
criminal charges.
But for the fact that other people
who had been blackmiled by the
same woman, coming into court, he
would have been unable to estab-
fish his innocence, and a cloud of
disgrace would have hung over
himself and family forever.

The WILD AND Woody CoMsTocK.
A lady, writing to the Chronicle,
complains that the dancers of the
Comstock put their hands to q
girls vast and leave large black
imprints ON the costly material.
This sort of thing is getting to
be a great nuisance in Virginia
city, and Carson ladies who go up
there to dance, generally have to
purchase new waists for their
dresses. OF course nothing like
this ever happens in Carson, where
people who go to balls, first wash
their hands and wear gloves on
bota. The Comstock still contin-
ues wild and wooley and always
will lack the refined cult. of Carson
and Reno. The only way to stand
of dirty hands is for the ladies' to
wear gunnysacks around their
waists to catch the amalgam,
engine grease, concentrates and
black sulphuretes that frequently
get on to peoples hands in a lively
mining camp.

TODAN,s ANNIVERSARY.

1t is very difficult task to say
anything about the first century OF
q Republic. The reason is obvious
the best writers, orators and poets
have been utilizing the Republic as
q theme for about three-quarters of
= century, and they have absolutely
exhausted the field.
If we were able to say anything
in this connection which no one
else had ever said we would say it
gladly and quickly, but as the mat
ter stands we must repeat someone
else's language or be silent.
When it comes down to the facts
of the CAGE, however, no one who
has ever attempted to dscribe the
size, grandure and magnifcence of
the Republic in which the APPEAL
is fortunate enough to be published,
has ever been able to say half
enough.
Heritage & Gaige might put
fresh coat of paint on a lily, but
they would not be able to improve
Its general appearance, although as
house painters they stand we'll.
The APPEAL can shake up the
incidents of horse race at a Dis
trict Fair IN satisfactory shape, but
when it comes to expatiate on Re-
public the size of the United States,
it feels inferior to the undertaking.
There is no lack OF willingness on
its part; simply lack of ability to
grasp in a proper manner a thing SO
big.
We might pat the Republic on
the back in a pleasant, agreeable
way, but to shout out the sort of
eulogy the Republic deserves would
be quite different thing. We pass
our hand when we come to a Re-
public of this size.

A Story by Bishop Cheney.

Some years ago when we were re-
pairing our Sunday School building
we held the school in the auditorium
of our church. / was experimenting
it myself one day and entering church
| came across little group OF street
gamins, some boys, one or two girls,
ragged, dirty and unattractive. /
stopped to speak with them pleasant
ly, and told them that ! would put
them in classes after | had gotten
through with the opening exercises,
and one of them thrust his hand down
in his trousers pocket and pulled out
an old rusty jack-knive and said: Mr..
Cheney, | wish you would keep that
until after theSunday Schools over.
Why he wanted me TO keep it ! did
not know then. | do not know now;
but took it, put it without thought
into my pocket, took my place upon
the platform, and struck the bell that
called the school to order, was about
to begin the opening prayer-give out
the opening hymn-when my atten-
ton was diverted by the patter of lit
tie feet coming up the broad aisle. 1t
is long church, and little girl was
coming from the extreme opposite
end. She came slowly, but with an
expression in her face that showed
she had most important message to
deliver, and so all exercises were sus-
pended. Every eye was upon herand
upon me, as she climbed up the chan
eel steps. With face and voice ex-
pressive of intensest eagerEess she
said to me: Say, Mr.. Cheney, John
ny wants his knife; he has got a good
chance TO trade"

A Musical Snake.

In the year 1864 a confederate sol
dier from one of the Louisiana regi-
ments came home with one Of the
young men and spent his furlough at
vineland. The soldier had pet rat
tlesnake about two feet long which
he carried in an inside pocket of his
shirt. The soldier would whistle to
the snake Dixie Bonnie Blue
Flag" and other popular tunes which
always had a noticeable effect on the
little shirt. He used the root OF some
kind Of herb as a charm and circle
maie on the floor or ground with the
root the snake would not dare attempt
10 cross. One day while out in the
field after fodder for his horse the
soldier placed the snake in his hat
and put il upon the fence, first run
| ming his root around the brim OF the
hat SO that the snake could not crawl
out, but there came puff OF wind
and blew the hat of the fence and the
influence Of the charm being removed
the snake crawled of into swamp
near at hand. The prettiest thing
about the snake was that he was
beautifully tattooed with different

and his regiment and company aud
