POULTRY.
Preparing and Shipping It to Market
An Excellent Crate.

Preparing and Shipping It to Market
An Excellent Crate.
Poultry shipped alive to market, says
the American Agriculturist, should be
well fattened, healthy and free from
blemish. 1t is mostly used by the city
people who will not take or use any
fowl or animal that is in any way de-
formed; but for unbleEished and we'll
fattened fowls they are willing to pay
the highest price. Before putting them
in the coops give plenty of feed and
drink. Feed grain only; meal sours.
Do not overcrowd the coop, as it causes
excessive heat and makes the fowls
feverish and sickly. If sent by express
the coop should be as small and light
to bear rough handling. Freight is
charged on weight of coop, as well as
of poultry. Old ROSTERS usually sell at
half the price of fowls, and young roost
ers are rated the same as chickens.
Small and nearby lots are best sent by
express, and the coops will be returned
free Of charge. These can be made
smaller and lighter than those which
are sent by freight.
A good and convenient size for ex-
press coops for fowls, chickens and
ducks is as follows: Boards for ends and
middle, each two feet long, one foot
wide and fve-eighths of an inch thick,
free from shakes or splits, and of light
dry wood. For the bottom use boards
four feet long and three-eighths of an
inch thick. For the sides and tops good,
clear, straight-grained plasterers' lath
is the best and cheapest. Make the bot
tom of boards the same length as the
full width of the end and middle pieces.
Nail the lower laths close against the
bottom boards on both sides to pre-
vent the fowls from getting their
feet or legs out. Leave interstices of
about two inches between the 1aths on
the sides, but only one and a-half on
top. This prevents the fowls from stick
ing their heads through and being in
jured or killed as one coop is placed on
another. Do not nail the two middle
laths on top of the coop, but use screws
so they can be easily removed. Nail
piece of thin, light hoop-iron all around
the ends and middle. For small spring
chickens and pigeons make coops of the
same dimensions, but only eight inches
high, as only strong, healthy pigeons
are used for trap shooting. Do not put
squealers or young ones in, or any with
clipped wings, as they will be thrown
out when sold.
For geese the coops should be four
teen, and for turkeys sixteen inches

Feminine Car Conductors.

street-car conductors are females. The

conductresses are rather handsome, it is
probably not difficult for strangers to
submit to the inevitable. They wear
neat uniform of blue flannel, with
jaunty Panama hat, and a many-pocket-
ed white pinafore, reaching from the
breast to the ankles, and trimmed with
dainty frills. In these pockets they
carry small change and tickets, while

CATARRH.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining tits new treatment is sent on
postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, cor. Of John

-SeIeCt
Little Brown Hands.

A1CCIe Brown HANDS.
They drive home the cows from the pasture,
Up through the long shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the Whes
field,
All yellow with ripening grain.
They find, in the thick, waving grasses,
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry grows,
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder blooms white,
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the softfinted October light.
They know where the apples hang npest,
And are sweeter than Italy's wines;
They know where the fruit is the thickeSt
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate sea weeds,
And build tiny castles Of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree tops,
Where the orioles hammock nest SWINGS
And at night time are folded in slumber
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are STRONGEST;
The humble and poor become great;
And from those brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers Of State.
The pen Of the author and statesman,
The noble ana<iSs of our land;
The sword AID chissl and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand

Tho Seven Ages Of Han.
At seven years,
In hopes first draught
His dreams are Of the billions;
Sweet confidence supports him
As he nightly spends his millions
At fourteen years,
The glitter pains,
On the million mark he fixes;
But, hope inflated, Oft reflects
Twixt ones, twos, threes or skies.
At twenty-one,
The roseate hue
Cleans brighton hundred thousands;
And all his dreams are mental plans
OF country place and housings.
At twenty-eight,
The golden age,
Five figures, well invested, with
Bank account and friends galore,
And stocks by bears well tested.
At thirty-fve,
In the swim,
Checks for thousands ne'er protested:
Content, perchance, In dreams to be
By creditors unmolested.
At forty-two,
Perspective dim,
Some hundreds and a cottage.
With steady job we find to be,
The caper for his dotage.
At forty-nine,
The vista blue,
His hopes (deferred) to fifty sinners
borrow,
Right glad he'd sell to raise the wind,
To pay that note tomorrow.
Hope springs eternal! in human breast,
We hear the poet trolling;
But well he knows that temper fails,
And springs but ease the falling.

A National Flower.

The question of a selection of q ma
tional flower was first brought before
the public at the recent session of the
Society of American Florists in New
York, and committee was appointed
by the society to select flower which
might be adopted as the floral emblem
of the American republic. The ques-
ton has already been discussed to some
extent, and several nominations have
already been made. The New York
Observer comes out in favor of the gold
en- rod. This flower" says our con-
temporary. Stands by itself in the
pastures and by the roadsides, and it
can stand by itself on our ticket. 1t is
a true emblem of democracy. 1t is
sturdy; it is independent; it is free. 1t
is not sectional flower. It knows no
east, no west. no north, no south. It
is at home everywhere; as happy and
radiant when it lifts itself above the
sod of a southern plain as when it mods
IN the breeZes of a northern valley.
Neither is it particular in such matters
as soil and surroundings. It can ac-
commodate itself to almost any cir
cumstances and be just as sweet and
beautiful in one place as another. In
the pasture, in the. meadow, on the
hillside, by the stream, it is everywhere
the same noble, glorious flower; I'M
pretentious and simple in its attire,
yet rich and strong in its beauty; mod
est and unobtrusive in its habits, yet
not too shy and retiring. While it is
not above growing anywhere, it never
grows where it is not wanted. If there
Is any one spot that the golden rod
loves more than another, it is a coun-
try roadside. Herein it shows its DEM
ocratic instincts. 1t is the peoples
flower, and it prefers to place itself
where the people can find it, not in OBJ
scure hooks or behind jealousy guard
ed fences and walls, but out by the
highway. where the rich and the poor,
those who ride and those who walk,
the weary, the lame, the halt. and the
blind may rejoice in its loneliness.
