POULTRY PlCKINGS.

WHAT we can not help, and what are
due to our own faults should not call for
discontentment or aggravation except
with ourselves, but for more care in the
future.
In mating up your pens, select only
the best birds. Gull mercilessly, and do
not use inferior birds. Above all, let
the male at the head of your yard be
first-class. Remember he is half the
breeding-pen.
WHILE an incubator has one advan-
tage in being always ready for service,
vet it requires more care than hens, and
unless you are willing to put in some
time every day in attending to it, the
better plan IS to stick to hens.-St. Louis
Republic.
IT will be the hardest kind of job
to buy breeding stock in February or
March from now, and if you should hap
pen TO secure chance to buy, the price
will be high, as birds are usually scarce
after the new year sets in. So be wise
now, and buy early, and you will get
better birds and at lower cost than at
any other time of the year.
A GOOD way to utilize broken glass
and crockery ware is to pound it up for
the birds. 1t will cure indigestion
sooner than any medicine can be givon,
and the hen that is well supplied with
such material will be less liable to dis
ease. 1t is the sharp, cutting edges that
enables the hen to grind her food.
Round gravel is of no use. Don't be
afraid of glass. Pound it to the size of
wheat, and the gizzard will attend to
the rest. Keep the hens supplied with
all they desire.
If some of the poultry raisers would
take one good brood of fowls and care
fully tend TO them, and study their
characteristics, instead of trying to
originate new breeds, we would hear
fewer complaints and growlings about
mo money in poultry" 1t ought never
to be forgotten that to keep poultry
well and economically, care and atten-
ton must be exercised in feeding. We
are generally prone to overlooking, and
this should be as carefully guarded
against as insufficient feeding. Fowls
must never have more given them at
one time than they will pick up clean
and with an appetite. Monthly.

a KENTUCKY DISH.
An Old Favorite at Out-of-Door Gather
ings.


''Burgoo," explained Colonel James
Orr, of Covington, lis one of the oldest
kentucky dishes we have. No one
knows who first made 'burgoo,' nor
does any one know where or how il
got its queer name. 'Burgoo' is an out
of-doors creation, and pots of 'burgoo'
have simmered over hot fire in the sun
at every big political gathering in the
state since Henry Clay was a boy, and
years before that, too. 1t is not only
an extremely palatable dish. if you can
call it that, but it's very nourishing.
'BurgoC is a cross between a stew and
a soup. 1t is always made in the open
air. The 'burgoo' the Blades of Grass
ate to-day was very rich. How was it
made? Well, ! took big caldron, put
some red-pepper pods in the bottom,
added some potatoes, tomatoes and
corn; then put in half a dozen prairie
chickens, as many more tender yellow
legs aud couple of dozen soft-shell
crabs. I'd have added some young
squirrels, but they could not be OBJ
tanned. When every thing is in read
mess there is enough water put into
the caldron to just make the contents
float. Then it is put on the fire. 1t
must be allowed to simmer slowly for
six hours, and must be stirred constant
~ with a hickory stick. A hickory
stick is best, and is always used, but
another might do as well. When it is
nearly done it may be favored to suit
the taste. 1t is done when the meats
are thoroughly SHREDDED, not before.
When it is done-Umr' and Colonel
Orr's eyes sparkled at the prospect

HE HAD NO DIPLOMA.
A California Doctor Who Did Not Belor r

A California Doctor Who Did Not Belorg
to Any Particular school of Medicine.
In 1s43, in company that came from
Oregon, was one Joe Meeks, "a noted
character in the Rocky Mountains. On
the way he said: Boys, when get
down to California among the greasers
/ am going to palm myself off as a doc
tor" and from that time they dubbed
him DIR. Meeks. He could neither read
nor write. As soon as the Californians
heard of his arrival at Monterey they
began to come to him with their differ
ent ailments. His first professional SER
vice was to boy who had a toe cut off.
Meeks, happening to be near, stuck the
toe on, binding it in poultice of mud,
and it grew on again. The new Gov
ernor, Micheltorena, employed him as
surgeon. Meeks had way of looking
and acting very wise, and OF being
reticent when people talked about
things he did not understand. One day
he went into a little shop kept by
man known as DIR. Stokes, who had
been a kind of hospital steward on
board ship, and who had brought ashore
one of those little medicine chests
that were usually taken to sea,
with apothecary scales, and a
pamphlet giving short synopsis OF
diseases and a table of weights and
medicines, so that almost anybody could
administer relief to sick sailors. Meeks
went to him and said: Doctor, want
you to put me up some powders" So
Stokes went behind his table and got
out his scales and medicines, and asked:
''What kind of powders?" Just COM
mon powders-patient not very sick. !"
IF you will tell me what what kind OF
powders, DIR. Meeks-" "Oh, just
common powders" That is all he
would say. DR.. Stokes told about town
that Meeks knew nothing about medi-
cine, but people thought that perhaps
Meeks had given the prescription in
Latin and that DIR. Stokes could not
read it. But Meeks' reign was to have
an end. An American man-of-war came
into the harbor. Thos. o. Larkin was
then the United States consul at Mon
terey, and the commander and
all his officers went up to Lar
kins store, among them the sur
geon, who was introduced to DR..
Meeks. The conversation turning upon
the diseases incident to the country,
Meeks became reticent, saying merely
that he was going out of practice and
intended to leave the country, because
he could not get medicines. The sur
geon expressed much sympathy and
said: ''Dr Meeks, if you will make me
out list will very cheerfully divide
with you such medicines as can
spare" Meeks did not know the names
of three kinds of medicine, and tried
evasion, but the surgeon cornered him
and put the question so direct that he
had to answer He asked him what
medicine he needed most. Finally
Meeks said he wanted some ''draps,
and that was all that could be got out
Of him. When the story came out his
career as a doctor was at an end, and
he soon left the country. Century.

EIenhnnt Leather.

The tanning of elephants hides is
comparatively a new industry. The
method employed is practically the same
as in the tanning of cowhides, says the
Chicago Daily News. except that a
stronger combination of the fannie ingre-
dients is required and greater length of
time. about six months. is necessary to
to perform the work. When the hide is
taken out of the vat it is about u
inches thick. Articles made of ele-
plants hide are expensive luxuries. A
small pocket-book of elephant leather,
without any gold or silver ornamental
ton. costs about $40. A small sachel
made of the same leather costs
any vhere from $500 to $500. Cigar
case card cases and similar articles
vary from SIS to 500. Floor rugs are
also made out of the leather. In finish
ing the hide no attempt is made to glaze
or polish it. Every thing is done TO pre-
serve its natural color and appearance.
1t is a very enduring leather, several
years wear having but little effect upon
it. The scarcity of elephants and the
great expense entailed in the tanning
of their hides precludes the possibility
of elephant leather ever becoming a
thing of popular and general use

The Cause of Many Ills in Otherwise
well-Managed Poultry Yards.
Many ills in the poultry yard come
often happens that birds in what are
considered well-managed yards do not
thrive. They first get lame, then get
droopy, then lose color in the comb, and
in two or three weeks get very weak.
They generally die. If opened their liv-
CIR win be found to be affected, and some
times it is enlarged. This is the result
OF overlooking. This was the first
cause which debilitated them and made
them susceptible to other diseases.
They take cold, indigestion follows, and
then a diseased liver kills them.
Fowls should be made to hunt for
their feed during the greater part of
the day. This gives them exercise and
keeps them in health. OF course they
should not be starved. but too much
food, with no work to obtain it, is sure
TO cause leg weakness and liver com
plant, and make the system weak and
susceptible to more malignant diseases.
A variety of feed in moderate quantities
and good exercise in hunting for it dur
ing the day time, will prevent such NAL
aides. During winter feed of shelled
corn may be given just before going to
roost. This may be given to them in
such a was that they can readily pick il
up if they have been made to scratch
through the day.-Farm, Field and

CLOTH GOWNS.

Some Rich Designs for Early Winter
Wear.
Cloth gowns vibrate between two wide
extremes-the severely simple and the
inordinately elegant. The former are
in rough wooden goods of the horse
blanket order, without so much as a
button or bit of braid to ornament
them; the latter of fine finished cloths,
deliberately braided and broidered and
with fur borders, appliques, collars and
sleeves, with picturesque Louis XIV.
coats and resplendent waistcoats. Those
coats are quite the latest and most
striking inspiration of fashions fancy,
and on tall, slender women are very
distingue, as well as becoming. They
are made of cloth like the skirt, of vel
vet of the same tint or of black velvet,
with fur trimmings. One of the most
effective gowns yet seen in this style
has a skirt of dull green cloth, trimmed
across the front with heavy black
fringe ten or twelve inches in depth.
The bodice is of black velvet cut long
below the hips, slashed deeply in
squares, and has large Persian lamb
sleeves and a high collar of the same

has a jacket apparently of cloth, cut
also deeply in squares and OVERLAND

Ornaments for the Hair.

Some of the ornaments for evening
coiffures, Just over from Paris, are
pretty. They are made of ostrich
feathers, and are small and rather fiat,
with few aigrette feathers and steel
beads, pearls and shine stones mixed
in with them. A tiny bow of ribbon in
the same tint finishes the ornament at
the bottom, and the whole is mounted
firmly on small two-pronged shell
hairpin all ready to be thrust into the
hair. These come in blue, pink. white,
black, etc, and are made of marabout
feathers, also in the same small fan
shapes.
Bandeaux. fillets and coronets for the
hair are made of rhine stones or pearls.
They vary in size from the single line
of tiny pearls or brilliants to the large
coronet with standing points of large
stones, gorgeous enough for Queen Vic
herself. One of the prettiest was a
single line of small pearls waved in
small waves; two lines of this sort are
sometimes showed twisted together

The Inability of a Lady to Cope with the

ing shortly before dusk bright-looking
girl, buttoned up in an English walking
jacket. swinging an umbrella and car
rying half dozen small parcels, passed
briskly along the street, assembled
flight of stone steps and opened fire on
the front entrance with the skeleton
key.
She first shifted the responsibility of
purse, packages, umbrella and hand
kerchief on one hand while she used
the other to ransack both coat pockets
for the key. They failed to yield it,
and one bundle and the tiresome UNI
brella lay half way down the stoop as
a result of her endeavors. With slight
ly flushed checks the girl picked up the
awkward parachute, leaned it against
the stoop rail, took a firmer hold on the
slippery pannels and examined the
palms of her snuggly-ftting gloves
This process gave her handkerchief to
the breeze, and, MISLEADING the trifle for
a miniature sail, the zephyrs playfully
caught it up and waited it half a dozen
PAGES down the street. BY this time a
sad expression developed about the
young lady's lips. She paid no heed TO
the results of an afternoon industrious
shopping now lying scattered at her
feet, but plunged boldly into the in
tricacies of her smooth draperies and
instituted immediate search for the
mysterious pocket, within which she
supposed the key reposed. She pulled
at one fold after another. until finally a
section gave way, and. with lurch, her
hand disappeared in the depths of some
hidden recess.
The triumphant expression beginning
TO dawn upon the girls features gave
way first to one of dismay and then to
growing modification as memory
seemed to point to the exact spot on
her dressing table from which she had
not taken the key that afternoon. In
dignant and disguised, this Independent
young woman gave a vicious p Ill at the
bell, bowed humbly as a sympathetic
man gathered up and restored her dis
ordered belongings and passed out of
sight through the door held open by the
smiling maid.-N. y. Telegram.

two gentlemen, sitting in contiguous
seats. One of them was gray and bent.
As the train approached the station the
white-haired man rose, took up his over

around. Then he said:
Young man, will be much obliged
to you if you will help me on with my

The other rose quickly and gave him
the assistance that was asked for
''There-ow! I'm little stiff. Thank
YOU" said the old man. "You are kind.
Some time you may be old yourself, and
then you will be glad of young mans

The other laughed. 'Perhaps, sir"
he said. '.you wouldn't object to telling
me how old you are?'
