Changing Chicken Grounds.

One Of the difficulties OF successful
chicken farming on very small places
is not the lack of range and exercise,
but the fact that the same ground must
be run over from year to year. Some
who have plenty of room make this
same mistake from negligence, plac-
Ing the chicken crop year after year
on the same spot Lice may be kent
on from chickens anywhere with suffi-
cient care, but the foulness of chicken
droppings in time completely saturates
the soil. and breeds diseases that de-
stroy the flock. The henhouse must
be substantial building, but it can be
kept clean by care, and insects de-
stroyed by frequent fumigation. But
1t will be an advantage if the henhouse
is not 80 large that it cannot be read
lly moved. In some places we know
the henhouse location is changed every
few years, and each time to a SPOT
that has been plowed and seeded since
chickens were there before. It is bet
ter, any way, not to have very large
chicken houses. Ii large number of
fowls are to be kept, then build more
houses, and have them scattered as
much as possible. This may make
more trouble in feeding the fowls, but
1t will be far less than the loss and ex-
pense OF sickness caused by huddling
TOO many fowls in one place.

Burning witches at tn. Stake.

1t is so curious that so many edu-
Gated people are yet ignorant of the
early history of our country as is every
day evident. Southern newspapers
frequently amuse themselves by reiter-
atlng the old charge that the early
Purltans burned alleged witches at the
stake. Of course the editors of these
papers knew better than this. But
now is announced new play called
THE WITCH" in which the writer pro
fesses to show a phase of early
American life as yet untouched by the
playwright; and the plot of the play
turns upon this same egregious error
OF history. The hanging of the men
and women accused of witchcraft, as
undoubtedly was feature of one dark
era in our early New England history,
was certainly bad enough. But when
the author of this play gives us what
purports to be authentic history, and
surrounds his heroine with fagots like
the early martyrs, he perpetrates an
atrocious libel which the descendants
OF the Puritans in Boston would do we'll
to resent History does not record a
single instance in which any person
was burned at the stake in New Eng
land for witchcraft or for any other
real or fancied crime. Our ancestors
had their faults, but they cleaned to
virtues Side,''

How to Become Lean:

NJ. Zola was, in the course of con-
versation with an Italian journalist,
congratulated not only ON his healthy
look, but on his comparatively slim fig
ure. which compared advantageously
with his former unwieldly corpulence.
Thereupon the chief of the naturalist
school divulged to the journalist the
secret of the unexpected transforms
ton. One night, he said, he was la
boriously forcing his way to his seat
in the orchestra stalls of a theater,
when he happened to be obliged to
squeeze past Sig. Rafael, tho we'll
known painter. In doing so, NJ. Zola
exclaimed:
''What a misfortune to be stout!'
Sig. Raffaeli does not seem to have
been very good tempered at the mo-
ment, for he simply replied:
1T depends entirely on yourself not
to be So"
No ofense was taken at this by M.
Zola, but during the next entr'acte he
asked Sig. Raffaeli what he meant.
Never drink, was the painters Sc
cret for reducing corpulence.
The very next day NJ. lola COM
menced the experiment. At breakfast
he turned his glass upside down, and.
Notwithstanding the entreaties of his
wife, who feared he would make him-
self i'll, refused both wine and water.
He persevered, and in eight days he
was overjoyed to find he had reduced
his weight ten pounds. The diminution
went on SO rapidly that at the end Of
three months he had lost no less than
forty pounds of flesh, and was in bet
ter health than he was before he ceased
drinking.
