when the hens feed at the
trough ON mass of soft food, they
perform IN few minutes the work
which should extend over an hour or
more. The crop is distended, the
food is passed into the gizzard in
larger quantities than is required be-
cause of the rapidly of digestion.
The sense of hunger is induced ON
account of the inactivity of the giz-
zard. 1t is not being distended with
ard substances and becomes mac
tive. The crop is emptied slowly,
and portion of the soft food therein
ferments, and the hen becomes a
dyspeytic. Soft food compels the
hen to swallow more water than she
needs. She usually drinks but linn
tied amount, and any surplus water
is voided with the food. When she is
compelled to take more water than
necessary, it is but short time until
bowel disease results. The cause is
ascribed to cholera, when it is really
indigestion. SO says American Poul-
try journal. In eating soft food the
hen is unable to make selection of
kinds, but must bolt the whole, wet
or dry, and take the consequences,
only to be condemned as worthless
for not producing eggs from food
which in the Judgment of her owner
is just what all heA shonld have in
order to make them lay. Domineer-
ing hens take more scan their share
from the trough, keeping the timid
ones away. Such hens become over
fat, while the others do not receive
food enough. When the food is scat
tered far and wide each hen secures
her share according to her industry.
The more Industrious the hen the
more she will receive, and the more
eggs she will lay. The lack of exer-
else when fed soft food induces the
vices of egg eating and feather pull
ing. ldleness begets vice in hens as
well as in human beings. Feed
whole grain. Nothing is gained by
grinding grain for fowls. Even
chopped meat may be scattered.

The propriety of endowing daughters
appears to be now seriously discussed In
different parts Of the country. This
arises partly ont Of a growing sense Of
Justice, which, the philosophers Aay, ia
the last sentiment TO be developed in the
case Of women, and partly out Of the
commercial edgencies which in the last
twenty years have left stranded so many
women with no means of livelihood,
The endowment Of daughters would ac-
compliah several ends. II would enable
them 20 marry the mon Of their choice,
It would support them II they do not
marry, and IN case Of commercial disas-
ter would furnish at least temporary
provision for tho family The matter

dowments in different countries are un-

There is u painful seriousness about
the pleasures of the American aristocrat
that makes her (fUr it is generally the
woman who rules in these matters) a
most inteTesiing-nay, entertaining
subject for the social philosopher. She
must seek her comrades. for example, not
so much among those whom she likes as
among those whom she must like, and
she must devote herself to amusement
with all the ardOr of her soul and all the
vigOr of her body.
In the countries where an aristocrat il
born, not made. the members of the So
lect body have certain public and useful
functions, and the world is interested in
their play because that is part Of the
public ceremonies, but in this happy re-
public, where all are equal, the people
whose social affairs are chronicled in the
press are tins talked about simply be-
cause they play and insist upon Peliev'
ing that the public is quite as much In
terested in their balls rs in the graveI
affairs of state, and that il is much more
of an honor to wear the tab Of one Of
their coteries than to win a seat in the
national Legislature.
They take themselves very seriously
and they are partly right. At all events
they do the rest Of the world very little
harm, and occasionally, no doubt, have
q good time.-Harper's Weekly.

rhs Results of an Intelligent aud Capsb
Land OVyuar In ENGLAND

tue heaultA OF an Intelligent Anu Capable
Land owner In England.
Mr.. W. j. Harris gives most helpful
and interesting account Of the Halwiu
manor estate. This WIS poor land and
much Of 1t was untouched for long peri
ods, being treated ss summer run for
cattle. The investor. Mr. Harris, was
tempted at first To do what at that time
was generally done by landlords--con-
solidate farms, pull down old cottages
and in fact generally reduce the avail
able population and labor ON the land.
Several farms fell in soon after Mr..
Harris purchase Of the estate, hut he
was converted" by observing that,
where the landlord or the farming ten
ant had allowed tine cottagers 10 cult
vate the land Immediately around them,
the value Of the land had been doubled
by the laborer without indeed any guar
antee Of permanent residence.
Instead Of destroying. the new landlord
built and repaired, and having farms on
his hands was enabled to cut off certain
fields and allot them to cottagers Small
farms grew mp and the larger ones were
reduced. Thus land was let that other
wise would not have been-moorland in
closures for instancc-and il was on these
that the value Of the system made itself
at once apparent
Land not valued at more than Ave
shillings per acre in its rough state be
came, when meadow land. worth from
thirty to fifty shllings, and as the cot
tsges were in demand the population
increased. and farmers knowing that
labor could always be obtained took the
large farms. reduced though they were
Wages have risen from ten and eleven
shillings to twelve and fourteen shillinEs
per week
Mr.. Harris says he made the mistake
Of working his vacant farms with bail
ifs, thinking, as the land was in low
condition he might do It better than q
tenant. But, as he says, It is the laborer
who knows hest and who succeeds. pro
vided he has not more land than he can
manage. One Of these small holders now
has fifty acres and gives occasional em-
plOyment
One secret Of the small farmers sue
cess is that one man works on his farm
for no wages at all, and that IN the farm
er himself. The small farmers help each
other, and they seldom let crop stand
too late or get behindhand, rs is the fash
ion with some misguided men, who un-
derman their large farms and depend on
outside labor for chronic emergencies.
The harm that large landowner can do
by farming meanly is incalculable.-
