REGINALD LITTLEJoHN.

California author Of Through the Cha
parrel; or, The Wingless Insects of Shasta
County, The Littlejohn family took the
top fat, SO that Reginald might have the
roof for exercise. Here he grew to be a
very large and handsome animal.
"Every morning Reggie rode around the
rooms on Mrs. Littlejohn's shoulder, and
whenever the family returned from visit
REGINALD awaited them at the door.
Zone day Reginald tripped lightly out OF
fifth story window. His terrified mis-
tress rushed to the basement, expecting to
find his mangled body on the fagstones.
Instead she saw Reginald calmly stroking
his whiskers. With pardonaple Pride she
had him photographed, and her brother
painted his portrait.
"One Saturday Reginald was on the roof
with Miss Littlejohn. Suddenly he leaped
to the sill of the parlor window. Miss
Littleiohn rushed down stairs, but Reggie
had disappeared From that time to this,
although anxious inquiries have been made
far and wide, nothing has been seen OF

FOREST PRESERVATION.
How to Prevent - Timber Famine within
Gcpsrau,

o Generation.
Further destruction of forests with
out effort to make good the waste will
produce n timber famine within a gen.
GRAFTON. Many kinds of valuable woods
nave already practically disappeared,
and other kinds are disappearing rap
idly from our forests. For one hundred
years the destruction Of timber has
been constant, without renewal. Re-
foresting Is not difficult nor costly, and
returns will be ample.
One of the first duties is 20 cut from
cumberland only those trees that have
reached their prime, while preserving
the underground from browsing ami
mails by fencing forest tracts. Second
growth should be guarded and not
thinncd SO much as to prevent "a proper
development Of trunks for economical
use as timber. Natural planting should
be encouraged In the vicinity OF forests
containing desirable species Such
planting may be encouraged by fencing
in cleared areas about forests and keep
ing cattle ont.
Waste lands on hillsidcs or rocky
places, or on the borders of swamps.
should be planted with valuable forest
trees suitable to the location. Plant
ing in groups will insure good timber,
especially from the trees NEST shaded.
Experimental planting OF groups on
waste land will bring valuable cxpcri-
cncc in tree culture.
Success in reforcstiug depends great
ly upon a careful observation Of nature
and natures methods. No ore of ex-
pcricnco would plant black walnut In
marshy ground or black ash IN a hill
side. PIN and cedar flourish in swamps
and on hillsidcs alike, and tho same il
true of hemlock. White ash ard black
cherry flourish best on dry ground.
Swamp white oak, n valuable timber
tree, loves moist ground. Hard maple
is sometimes found in swamps, but il
does not flourish there AS well ms on
uplands. Films love moisture.
Trees usually found growing together
in forests should be planted together.
Trees of species are rarely found
alone, and there Is u belief, probably
well founded, that n variety OF species
In Il forest Is most conclusive to strong
and healthy growth. The soil of cx-
hausted hillsides is hes. renewed by u
growth of trees and n deposit of leaf
mold. A young forest thickly planted
must be a constant source of profit,
after the first eight or ten years,
through cutting to thin out and give
room for proper development of tops. -

POULTRY IN WINTER.
Hens VIII lave GOOD Appctitcs n Thcis
Feed Is Varied.

Hens VIII Have Good Appctitcs n Their
Feed IL Varied.
The hens arc partial to q variety Of
food, which Is m advantage to the
farmer, as 1t gives him an opportunity
of feeding many substances that are
unsuitable in winter. The supposition
that poultry must be fed entirely on
grain has entailcd u greater expense
in keeping poultry than necessary, to
say nothing Of the fact that the pro-
duction Of eggs has been diminished,
rather than increased, by feeding the
fowls so largely on grain.
The hen is, like the COW. n producer,
and she is capable of utilizing many
kinds Of food. This should be APP
parent to all from the fact that nm cgg
is composed of nearly all of the ele.
ments that are required to form n COM
plete substance, or TO produce n living
creature. II the hens had no duty to
perform but that Of simply existing
and f%attening, grain would supply
them with all that they require; but, as
stated, the hen Is n producer, and she
must be given suitable foods for her
purpose or she will fail to accomplish
the object for which she is intended on
the farm.
No farmer would expect his COW to
thrive on q diet of grain exclusively.
She requires bulky food, and she re.
quires a variety. Not only Is she al
lowed an abundance of nutritious hay,
but also carrots, turnips or ensilage,
the object being to promote the apps
tite and assist digestion, as we'll as to
allow her q greater opportunity of So.
curing the nitrogen, carbon and min
eral matter which is SO essential to
milk production.
There Is no difference between the
hen and the COW in their demands for
food. The hen requires bulky food,
and she will eat the same kinds that
the cows receive II such foods are cut
very fine. A mess of hay will be eager
ly devourcd by q flock of hens. and il
will he of greater service for producing
eggs than corn. Farmers know that
their fowls will sometimes refuse to
eat cor or wheat. 1t is because they
have been surfcited with such food.
When the food is varied the hens will
have good appctites, and, as the appe-
tite influences egg production. the
feeding of a variety is more important
than quantity Farm and Fireside.

THE FARMING WORLD.
CORN MEAL FOR HENS.
Notes OF Timely Interest Co Farmers VIII
Raise Poultry.

Notes OF Timely Interest to Farmers who
Raise Poultry.
Very often we see In u exchanges
articles advising the feeding of corn
meal, scalded until IL will stick to-
gcther. This is poor advice, for the
hen that Is fed on such food will be
compelled to swallow more water than
Is ut all necessary. The very best way
TO feed corn to hens Is whole, and IL IL
Is to be fed to chicks IL may be cracked.
When we first got In the notion Of feed
ing cracked corn VIC had no means of
cracking II, and we went to our miller
and asked him IL he could help us out.
He was perfectly willing TO do so, and
we had him raise his buhrs till the corn
when 1t went through was. just coarse
ly broken, say about like grains Of
wheat. AS the corn was dry, n con.
siderable part of il was much finer
than we wanted 1t. This we sifted out
aud fed to the youngest chicks, and
the effect was SO beneficial that we
have kept up the custom for three or
four years, and the demand for
this cracked corn has grown to
such proportions that now our
Touring mills keep IL regular
ly for the sole purpose Of feeding
chickens. Chickens cannot be grown
to the best advantage in country places
without being fed corn as u large part
of their food. Some there are who are
constantly decrying the use of corn,
but they are those who base their
teachings largely on theory, and the
best practical breeders agree that orn
il one Of the essentials. The chemist
tells us what elements go To make up
corn, and from their analyses we are
led TO think that corn IL not the bost
food, but it is with corn like it is with
root crops. The writer once asked u
noted dairyman why 1t was that
mangcls, which analyze so low In
value, were so valuable when fed to
cows, and he replied that there was
something in them that the chemist did
not find. So IL is with corn. There is
something in IL that makes chickens do
well on it In spite of chemical analyses.
We do not advocate n clear corn diet
by any means, but believe in q variety,
consisting Of anything edible, for the
digestion of any kind Of poultry is good,
but IL we were confined TO one kind
Of feed, corn would be u choice, and
we would feed IL dry, sven IL we had
TO feed meal. Farmers Voice.

tion ~ Ia the Education Of Children.
New YORK, Nov. 1a.-The conference
of archbishops OF the United States,
which has been In daily session Mt the
residence OF Archbishop Corrigan since
Wednesday last, was concluded last
night. The question that has engaged
the attention Of the archbishops to the
largest extent, and the one which has
prolonged the conference to the period
OF three days, Is the matter relating to
parochial schools. Not until yesterday
was any real progress made, and the
following report indicates u compro-
mise upon The question. This report
ms given out by the private secretary Of
Archbishop Corrigan. Father Connolly,
Is entitled, "Report on Parochial
Schools" and is as follows:
Al q meeting OF the archbishops Of the United
States held NJ the residence Of the archbishop
New York. on November 10, 1900, to consider
the best means TO provide for the religious edu.
cation OF such children M dc not o. present at.
tend the parochial schools or Catholic schools
Of any kind, tho assembled preiates Unanimous
~ agreed on the following resolutions;
Resolved. To promote the erection Of Catholic
schools so that there may be accommodation In
them for more. and II possible for all our Gath
olic children, according TO the DEGREES of the
third plenary council Of Baltimore and the de-
cision of the holy see.
Resolved, That as TO children who ut present
do not attend Catholic schools, we direct In I'D
dition that provision he made for them by
Sunday schools. and also by instruction on
some other day or days OF tho week and by
urging parents To teach their children the
Christian doctrine In their homes. These Sun.
day and week day schools should be under the
direct supervision Of the clergy, aided by Intel
ligent lay teachers, and when possible by mem
beers OF religious teaching orders.
