AMONG THE POULTRY.

OFTEN poultry suffers for the want of
water.
Fowls will fatten faster if they are
confined than if allowed to 1un at large.
LEAVES or chaff make an excellent
litter for the floor in the poultry houses.
IN sending eggs to market better
price can be realized if they are washed
clean.
THERE are some breeds that will not
thrive on damp clay soil; dry sandy
loan is best.
FATTENING fowls should be fed at
least five times day all that they will
eat up clean.
POULTRY will be more comfortable in
a house of their own than in the stables
and granaries.
In fattening poultry many persons
neglect to feed often enough to secure
the best results.
If the quarters are so cold that water
freezes readily the hens can hardly be
expected to lay eggs regularly.
By scattering leaves over the floor
and scattering small grain among them
good opportunity for exercise will be
afforded the hens.
AT the first sign of disease all of the
sick fowls should be separated from the
well ones and be put into warm, dry
place to themselves.
THE best plan of supplying charcoal
to the poultry is to burn corn, not black
but nicely Drowned; give them all that
they will eat up clean.
The advantage in securing a good
home market for your poultry and eggs
is that you save transportation and
commission charges at least.
In nearly all cases it is best to have
two ROOMS to the poultry house, one for
nests and the other for roosts. Have
the roosting place well lighted.
ONE of the cheapest and best plans
of fumigating the poultry house is by
burning sulphur in it and keeping it
shut up tight two or three hours.
ONE of the principal advantages with
guineas is that they are great insect and
worm destroyers if allowed a free range
where poultry are kept, more especial
ly for eggs. 1t will usually be best to
select some of the non-sitting breeds.
POTATOES, beets, carrots or turnips
will all be relbhed by the poultry dur
ing the winter. They can be fed whole,
sliced and with bran or oil meal
sprinl<led over them, or they can be
boiled and mashed.
If oil-mesl is to be fed to poultry the
better plan is to mix it with bran, feed.

ually increasing; too much given at
once before they get accustomed to it
often induces diarrhea.
If an incubator is to be used, and
especially if very early broilers are to
be raised, arrangements should be
made as soon as possible so as to secure
both The incubator ard hrooder and
nave on hand ready for use.

said Collie, ''your head must be rattling
like locker of shot in gale"
The captain looked surprised.
"Who reefed the jib?" he asked.
II did," said Collie, humoring her
neatly with the helm.
The captain watched him do it. Then
he went below and stretched himself on
Collie's favorite locker.

ever saw" he said.
The women looked at one another and
heaved long sighs of relief.
THAT useless thing appears to be
some goud after ALL" said Mrs. Bisbee
to Ethel.
HUMP said Ethel.
Collie sailed the Clover back to her
anchorage off the hotel after the squall.
They all went ashore, and he immedi-
ately retired to his room and was seen
no more until the next day. About
noon he was discovered in the steamer
chair with an unusually formidable
German novel. They surrounded him
and began to thank him for bringing
them in safely. He didn't seem to pay
much attention to them. just kept
listening for something down the road.
Presently the hotel stage came rattling
up from the station.
Here she is" said Mrs. Bisbee,
reckoning the girls, and they all de-
serted their preserver to see the beauti.
full heiress. She was beautiful. There
was no mistaking that. The girls
groaned inwardly. She came airily up
the steps, her brown eyes aflame with
expectation. She caught sight of Der
Alte Chaperon lying in his steamer
chair. She ran right to him, threw both
arms around his neck ana publicly
kissed him on the lips.
Collie, dear" she said, rassionately.
''But. dear old fellow, you look real
done up, and expected to find you so
much better"
Better? He must have been sick,
then, when he came down.
"Well, sweetheart" he replied,
laughing, 81 have been mending slow.

Aboard a boat! Now, dear, do you
know the doctor said you were not to

"But we got caught in squall, and
the captain-well, perhaps these young
ladies will explain. Let me introduce
you all to my fiancee."
And then the whole crew of them
fguratively got right down on their
knees and worshiped Der Alte Chap
eron.

Knew n Good Thing.

1t is related of Russell Sage that while
attending meeting of one of the nu-
merous boards ofdirectors OF which he is
a member, box of cigars was brought
by order of moderately well-to-do
member of the board. The box was
passed to Mr.. Sage, who mechanically
took out cigar. Holding it to his nose
he exclaimed: "Ah, that has fine
havor What do you pay for these
cigars. Mr.. -"
"Only twenty dollars box, twenty
cents piece" was the reply.
"What?" cried the frugal Russell in a
tono of intense disapproval, twenty
cents for cigar! That is too steep for
me. can not afford such an expensive
luxury
And Mr.. Sage walked over to the
table on which the cigar box had been
placed and took couple more of the
cigars and put them in his pocket

"You must have one."

''Who wants you to?" he demanded.

"You go on! wouldn't have you if
you were the last woman on earth!'
"My friends, you can get a license to-

did not have much to say. lie used to
lie about the hotel veranda in big
steamer chair and read novels. He
wore yachting suit and cap and silk
shirt. He did not look bit salt, be-
cause the skin of his face was as white
and as smooth as baby's. So they
laughed at him for wearing yachting
suit. All the other fellows wore them
because it was yachting port upon the
sound, and pretty much every one went
in for sailing, which was about all
there was to do at the place. Collie
went sailing once or twice when some
generous fellow took pity on him and
invited him. Then the women laughed
at him more, and in strange German
called him Der Alte Chaperon-the
Old Chaperon-becaus he always went
down into the cabin, stretched himself
on locker and fell asleep They said
he was afraid the spray would spoil his
complexion.
Collie didn't seem to know that he
was being laughed at If he did know
1t he did not mind it. He never said
any thing, but went on reading novels.
German novels, too; and he read them
in the original. 1t was most exasper-
ating. What business had a man at a
gay, active summer resort to wear nauti-
cal toggery, have skin like queens
baby and read German novels? Once
some one said to him:
Come and play game of billiards. !"
''Thank you," he replied. 'lts lit
tie too much for me, you know"
He certainly was a fool-and a lazy
one, too. They tried him on several
things, but he lay in the steamer chair
and read German. And there were at
least six beautiful girls in the hotel.
And every one of them had been plqued
into trying to interest him. But he
just staid in the steamer chair and read
German, or went to sleep in the cabin
of the yacht.
He didn't get seasick. They remem-
bered that, after he was gone, as one of
his good qualities. They had him out
one day when it blew fresh and there
was lively sea on, but he went to sleep
like rocked infant. He certainly was
the most torpid man that ever lived.

morning. miss Silvers is coming here

the boat, an idea struck the man who
had been talking.

walk through that gate without being
recognized. Suppose We try it?''
''All right" said his friend.

turned through the passenger gate, and

with the same result. He tried several
times more, and still the obdurate gen.
tleman failed to recognize him. There
were few people going through at that
time, and it was singular that his con-
tinued temperance was not noticed.
Persistence, did, however, have an
effect at last. On the sixth trip through
the gateway the gatekeeper stared at
him in rather bewildered manner. On
The seventh trip the gatekeeper swore
gently to himself, and demanded to see
the name on the commuters ticket.
The commuter permitted him to read it,
and on reaching the waiting-room said
to his friend, 'He has found out my
name. Lend me your ticket"

gatekeeper swore loudly as he ap-
preached.

dignation, but complied.

scratched his head in perplexity.
"What do you mean by addressing
such harsh remarks to me?" asked the
commuter.
"Well, I'll tell you, stranger, said
