the best ever made in a race in harness,

Neither of the flying steeds broke in

the pole in the first heat and held it
until the quarter pole was reached,
when Direct, who had been on almost
even terms with him from the start.
MADE A MAGNIFICENT Squirt
and secured the inside of the track.
After that it was easy sailing, and Ed
Geers pulled up Pointer before reach

Direct on the pole, and he held it
throughout. The best Pointer could
do was to stay abreast of him until
reachipg the half mile post, where
Direct gradually drew away, the Ten

stretch being of no avail. 1t was be-
lieved the champion could have gone in

There are many people, old and young

sftrscts from a Paper on Poultry KEEP
ing Read by Successful PouIterer BE-
fore New York Farmers Institats.
Profitable Breeds, Good Buildings, Etc
In an exhaustive paper read before a
New York Farmers institute, Mr.. +. T.
Dawley, of Syracuse, who has had a
large experience in poultry keeping, sid:
Poultry is bred for fancy purposes, for
market purposes and for farm purposes
Now, if You are going into the poultry
business decide whether you want TO
produce eggs or flesh, and feed AID mo-
cure your breeders With ono ind or the
other in view IL you decide to breed for
egg production, try Leghorns, Minorcas,
Hamburgs or their crosses. If you think
Ii will pay you better to raise broilars,
try the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes or
Javas, and If you have made up your
mind that there is the most money for
you in raising roasters, try Cochins
Langshans or Brahmas.
Each is profitable when bred for the
purpose for which nature intended it,
and correspondingly Improbable when
bred for any other.
Having selected your breed, provide
suitable quarters for them. | am not in
favor Of allowing hens to run all over
the premises. A barn basement, With
southern exposure, makes a good winter
place for fowls, providing it can be
closed aud kept free from draughts. IF
you put up a building especially for
poultry select dry, sheltered spot; make
q balloon frame Of by 4 scantliug and
cover it, both inside and ont, with tarred
sheathtng. Over each by on the out
side nail a strip one inch thick, and TO
these nail your cove siding. q single
roof is cheapest in the end Put win
dows in tho south side Of the building,
but don't put in too many. Glass con-
ducts cold as well as heat. No matter
where you keep your fowls, make the in
side Of the hen house plain. Build the
roosts and nests SO you can take them
out and leave the house perfectly bare
for cleaning.
If we want to produce eggs we must
feed for eggs, and if we want to produce
flesh we must feed for flesh When
you find it profitable to keep fifty hons
You may venture to keep more If you
find the prodts less when you have fifty
hens than when you had twenty-five,
you had better reduce your stock. More
than three-fourths Of those who try to
keep poultry cannot keep fifty hens and
make as much money as when they keep
twenty-five.

writer who a short ttmo ago, met with
Il curioua adventure. He was out walk

In vain did Mr.. King endeayor to stem
the tide Of her eloquence and to answer
that he had not the honor Of her ac-
quaintance; stiI she went on.
st last he managed, as the saying
goes, "to gel in a word edgeways.' and
blandly inquired as to whom the lady
took him for
why, Or. So-aud-so,7 naming well
known local practitioner, was the reply.
M King speedily enlightened his fair

in questioo has very often been mistaken
