What We Should Do.

Give the hens liberty so that eggs
WILDE strong and fertile.
Give the sitters proper care and at
tention.
Put sulphur in the nests to destroy
vermin.
Trap off the rats now or they will
catch the young chicks later.
Feed the to-be sitters corn; get them
fat for the job-it's hard one.
Set eggs from some OF the Mediter-
ranean or Hamburg class. You want
hens that can work off corn, as all
farmers feed more corn than anything
else, and those classes do not get too
fat tolay when fed corn. There are
exceptions.
Get all your flock Of one kind; you
will then take more interest in the hen
business.
Go in for eggs. You do not get much
out offowls sold to the market unless
you have a regular trade, and there is
not one farmer in twenty that has it.
You will kill and eat all your surplus
cockerels.
Why don't you build a warm and
dry house for, say thirty or forty
hens, then next fall and winter take
care of them and feed for eggs? Be
careful not to get too many fowls for
your room; give each fowl eight or
ten feet square of the space, and if
convenient let them have an extra
room with six or ten inches of hay
and oat chaff to work in.
Do not be afraid to spare the chicks
a quart or two of milk, as there is
nothing better for them from two
days to FIVE years of age, if you keep
them that long-but probably not.
Some shipper will come along in Au-
gust and give you six to eight cents
per pound for cockerels and hens, and
away they go.
[ have seen chicks on farms that
actuallydid not grow to three-quarters
the size they ought to have been by
November l.. Now | wish to know
what a farmer wants Of fowls unless
he can take care of them2 Then
again, 1stoo many fowls for the room.
You can get more out of ten in a hen
house lOxlO than you can out Of 20
IN the same space, with less care and
trouble. It's easy to give advice but
hard to make folks take Iit.--A
Farmers Son, in Country Gentle
man.
Feed for Cows Before CalvIng.
II a COW is bred to farrow her calf in
the spring the care she receives during
the winter has much to do with her
usefulness the ensuing season. Most
suffer from being fed too dry, innu-
tritious food. Straw and hay are
constipating. and this keeps the sys-
tenn feverish and unhealthy. Corn
stalks are mose laxative, and there
fore better, but they must be free
from smut and aught to be free from
mildew. An exchange says that the
COW that sto dropa calf in the spring
should not be granted, as it is too
fattening. She should have either
wheat bran or fine midd lings, accord
ing as she is laxative or the reverse.
The wheat bran goes best with

A Nation of Athletes.

Because q boy goes to work is no
reason why he should never kick a
football, pull an oar, Or run or skate,
writes Foster Coates in The Ladies
Home Journal If all these out door
sports were given up, America would
soon become a nation of puny pig
mics. Our men would be holloweyed,
yellow-skinned and fat-chested, in
stead of rosy-cheeked and robust as
they are now. Walk to and from
school, to the office or the shop in the
evenings, twice or three times week,
60 out to lectures or social gatherings
or to see some good dramatic per-
Torrance. Go to bed early. Do not
get into the habit of staying up late
Arise early and you viii find that the
hours you give to work or study will
be ofincalculable benefit to- you. When
you work, devote every thought to
what you have in hand When you
study, fasten your mind upon the
subject before you. When yon play
let no thought of business or study
disturb you.

Some Short Rows.

Sharp plows do much better work,
besides being much easier on hand
and team.
Spring is the time of year that the
carbolic or Kerosene spray or wash
spray should be freely used for hen
mites. You can clear the roosts and
nests by this means.
One of the most important things
about farming is to pulverize the
ground well before planting. Rollers,
drags and such things should be made
before they are needed.
Many farmers do not try variety of
crops. By experiment in small way
with several crops frequently, a man
is led into new lines that pay much
better than the old ones.
There is no class of stock that can
be improved 50 rapidly by proper
selection and careful breeding, or that
will degenerate SO rapidly with neglect,
as the hog.
Perfect mutton will be firm and
juicy. a rather dark red in color, and
with a good deal of hard, clear, white
fat, much more in proportion to the
lean than in beef.

keeping says Father Langstroth, lis

Showing Ones Gratitude.

To an American the sight OF men
kissing each other is an odd one, yet
the practice is common among most
OF the people of continental Europe.
Captain Sargent, of the steamship
Indiana, recently went to Libau. in
Russia, with his ship laden with -four,
for famine sufferers. Of course the
Russians were very grateful for the
food given by Americans to their
countrymen, and they wished to
show their appreciation. When Cap
tain Sargent returned home from his.
trip he was accosted by reporter
''What has become OF your beard
Captain?" for long growth of brown
whiskers adorned his chin when he
sailed. -.-
"Well, now, believe me or not, but r
have not put a pair of scissors to that,
beard since lett. What happened to
it? Why, it was kissed away. Talk
about your gratitude Russians
are the. people for showing it, | tell
you! During the four days we were in
Libau [ was Rugged, embraced and
kissed until my beard actually fell
away.
"Why, the Russians would come up
to me, and would put out my hand
to shake with them, but no, Stree
that wasn't good enough for them.
Plumbinto my arms they would come,
their arms would go around my neck,
and for the next two minutes there
was a catch-as-catch-can kissing

oTercter.s Financial Methods.

Developments made in the legislature at
Quebec by Treasurer Hall respecting eX-
Premier Merciers methods of financing
cause great indignation and excitement.
MERCER and his treasurer, Shehyn, were in
the habit of reporting each year to the
House cash balances in hand, but had used
up for ordinary expenditures large amounts
of trust funds and railway guarantee de-
posts, which, with loans made by them
and existing deficits, show increase in net
debt for five years of Mercier's govern
ment from S11, 100000 to more than S24,-
100000. The new government decreases
the annual payment by Sl,2j0,OO0, and
there is still annual deficit of over 81 600,
600, which must be provided for by addi-
tional direct taxation. \ floating debt of
IS, 10000 has been discovered and annual
expenditure has increased from less than
100000 in 1887 to over SS,0OO,OO0 in
1891, though but little difference in reve-
ME. Expenses and conditions connected
with 100000 loan negotiated by Mer-
cier and Shehyn last year in Europe made
interest payable equal to &! per cent.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Explosion at Hartford.
The EtnO PyrOtechnic Works Destroy
ed and Five Persons Killed.

Ahe t-thN FyrOteChniC Works Destroy
ed and Five Persons Killed.
Five persons were instantly killed and
four injured at Hartford Saturday after
noon by an explosion which took place at
the factory of the .Etna pyrotechnic works
The explosion broke hundreds of windows
in the neighboring factories and dwellings,
and was heard distinctly all over the city
and for many miles around. The building
was totally destroyed with the large stock
OF fireworks materials. Fire broke out i'm
mediately, but was quickly under control,
not, however, until the five bodies were
scorched, and some of them badly burned.
The building was of brick, two stories
high, occupied by the -Etna pyrotechnic
company, who were doing a tourishing
business in which they had been engaged
for eight years. The cause of the explo-
sion is not known but it probably took
place in the miXing-room. All who work
ed there are dead.
George f. Stevens, one of those who es-
capped, said he had no warning of the dis
aster and was caught before he could get
out. He said: "The wall seemed to come
i'll upon me bodily. There was a binding
flash, and then all was dark as night.
Bricks and timbers whizzed past my head,
one big beam pinning me down across the
back. l could see and hear the fire COM
ing toward me and gave myself up for lost
when the fremen lifted the timber and
pulled me out"

1900 Lives Lost.
A Tremendous Hurricane Sweeps over
the Tropical Islamd of MamrItims.


the Tropical Island of M0uritius.
a most destructive hurricane is reported
from the tropical island of Nautilus,
where storms of great severity are not UNI
common. 1t occurred on April %. One
third of the capital city, Port Louis, was
destroyed, not less than "a churches being
wrecked. The number of persons who
lost their lives is estimated at 1900. The
hurricane was accompanied by tremendous
rains, which converted the streams into
roaring torrents.
Nautilus lies out in the Indian ocean
off southeastern Africa, over $50 miles
east of Madagascar, and exposed to the
full sweep of the oceans fury. The island
is very fertile. Indigo cotton, sugar and
spices are grown successfully. The popu-
lation is little over 300, 600, and is made up
of various Asiatic, African and European
races. Mauritius was settled in l644 by
the Dutch, but was afterwards taken by
the French. 1t is now an English depend
ency. Severe storms frequently visit the
island. In 1873 800 houses were destroy
ed, and in 1917 two hurricanes did i'm
mense damage to the plantations and to
shipping interests, and destroyed many
lives.

The Relay Bicycle Race from Chicago
TO New York.

The relay bicyclists carrying the message
of Cen Miles at Chicago to Gen. Howard
at New York, completed the journey early
Sunday morning The message had been
carried by a 975-mle route in four days,
Is hours and five minutes. The different
wheelmen rode distances ranging from
eight to 80 miles. The time was nearly IA
hours more than the schedule, the bicy-
clists being greatly delayed on account of
the muddy condition of the roads and the
heavy rain which prevailed. Gen. Miles
is enthusiastic over the result of the relay
race, and believes that the utility of the
bicycle for military purposes has been es-
tablished. Another run over the same
course is being planned, as it is thought
that under proper conditions the distance
can be covered in GO hours.

KnIed bx the sieht Of blood.

Mary Wren was caught in the betting at
the King Philip mill at Fall River Friday
and drawn against carding machine. Her
head struck against the frame, which
opened an ugly wound the entire length of
her face, from which the blood flowed free
ly. Bridget COnnOrs, who was at work
near by, heard the Wren girls screams and
turned to see what was the matter. The
sight of the blood gave her such a shock
that she fell to the floor unconscious. Med
ical aid was summoned, but all efforts to re-
Vive her were fruitless. She died in a short
tine. She was to be married in three
weeks. The Wren girl will recover.

When the Indian summer haze is how

in these dreamy, sunshiny afternoons of
late November, there is a languorous
spell even in soldier life, and the troop
cas- love to loll about the wide porches of
the barracks during their brief leisure
moments or while waiting the trumpet
call for stables. There is scarcely a
breath of air astir. The broad, fertile
valley under the bluffs, forest fringed
along the stream, gives forth a faint,
pangent, smoky odor, and the eye wan
