Poultry Notes.

Coro,ossness in little details VIII soon
show in the conditions and productive
ness OF the fowls.
At present prices for wheat IL can be
fed to poultry to good advantage.
With chickens more especially, the
ouestion Of breed must re determined
bv the fancy OF the person.
In confinement a g'ea'er variety i
needed than wben given a good range
hut good Gaze must be taken not tc
over feed
It vii be an exceptional case when
tn, fowls cannot be given sill Of the
milk they will drink to an advantage
Use ali reasonable care 70 keep the
poultry house dry, as a damp house i;
productive Of the roup and many other
diseases to which poultry are subject.
A cross of Wyandottc and Plymouth
Rock, or Brahma or Cochin hens
makes a good combination for early
broilers for market
Because others have failed in the
poultry business Is no reason >',u Sho"id
provided Aou are willing to give the
fowls proper care and attention.
When the fowls are confined, one Of
the best means Of affording exercise is
to put straw or coarse litter on the floor
and feed small grain upon it.
In nearly all cases IN fattening geese
for market the work can be done faster
and better if they are give cooked
ration at least once day, and twice a
day will be still better.
Scattering ar-slacked lime over the
poultry house Will aid materially in
keeping the air dry, pure and whole
some, while at the same time 1t will
destroy all lice in which it comes in
contact.
While there is no question but that
many who keep poultry fail to receive
the profit they should, yet they keep
right on in the same way of manage
ment year after year.

"Our physicians in the children's depart
ment have spoken highly Of their expert
ence in their outside prackce with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regu,-r

Maxims to Remember.

Every towns success depends upon
the success of its people.
Extravaganza in school expenditures
is a commendable virtue.
Driven to the wall by wealth, the
poor often accept vice as an alternative
Labor should be dignifed, intelligent
and, above all, well fed.
Cultivate patriotic spirit in the
young. Let the stars and stripes and
If need be, the notes of the tin horn
float on every breeze.
The enterprise of town NAV be ac-
c'1rately gagged by the appearance OF
It's streets. its public buildings and its
parks.
Whatever advantages a village Or
CITY may possess, the citizens should
cooperate with the existing forces 70
stimulate what otherwise must prove a
slower, even though inevitable, growth.
Cast about wherever you will and
discover that within a comparatiyelv
limited area there is an incalculable
wealth OF earth's treasures. the transact
ton IN which even for a day are beyond
measure.

Fascination of Great Cities.
TFrom scribner's Magazine

1t is not only the people with money
that are attached to the cities; what
charitable worker has not experienced
the difficulties involved in tempting
the poor into the country?
sob, ma'am, it's so lonesome, here,
and there's so many cows to chase youW
walled one wretched woman who had
been taken out of a squalid tenement
and placed in clean, comfortable
room, with prospect of good wages, in
little village. She sickened for her
crowded street, and the hand-organs
and monkeys, and the motley process
sion surging past her window; sickened
as miserably as the Swiss for his noun
tains. There was an agreeable man, a
working-man, who passed so much of
his time in the Liberal Arts building

to hold arguments with man in cleri-
cal dress on the subject of the unions,
and he spoke with so much moderation,
such a broad charity. and withal so
shrewd humor, that far as | am from
his household of faith, | could not SYM
pathize with his opponents discomfi-
ture. Rather, l thought, "Were all la
Dor organizers like you, employers
would do well to treat with the unions!'

A Dangerous Plaything.

A kite made by Brooklyn man is
attracting attention because of it's gil
gantic dimensions. 1t measures II feet
from top to bottom and AZ feet across.
1t has the usual coffin-like shape of the
kites flown by the small boy, but its
material necessarily differs. The frame
is made of oaken boards three and a
half inches wide and one and half
inches thick and the covering is of light
canvas. He only got his kite out once.
Accompanied by so boys, who had
watched the construction Of the affair
for a week, he took his monster to the
little hill, and experienced little trouble
in getting it to take to the winds. 1t
sped heavenward with such force that
ten youngsters, who had taken hold of
the rope attached to it, were carried
along some distance before they had
time to let go. The winding machine
employed was an ordinary hose reel
and his line was like those used on
clothes line pulleys. The latter was
1900 feet long and it was pulled out to
the full length. The tail of this big
kite is 80 feet long, and the entire
weight is about IS pounds.
