Game oantams were produced by
crossing the English game fowl with
the bantam. and by breeding in-and-in
until the desired size was obtained.
There are now about as many varieties
of game bantams as there are Of the
game breed
The rose-combed black and white
bantarns are two of the most beautiful
and best laying varieties. The birds
when young are rather delicate, owing
to rapid feathering The black variety
is the black Hamburg fowl in minia-
ture. Their eggs are large in proper
ton TO the size of the bird.
The golden and silver Sebrights are
two varieties originated at the begin
ming of this century by Sir John Sc
bright by crossing different breeds
the first cross being between common
bantam and a Polish fowl The tail is
entirely unlike that of bantams in gen.
eral, being square and expanded, and
the feathers broadening towards the
ends
The booted white Is the oldest known
bantam breed They are very tame
and hardy, with pure white plumage
which is very liable to get sunburned
unless given a sheltered run
The Nankin and PeAin bantams are
Chinese varieties, which resemble each
other, the plumage of the former be-
ing somewhat darker and the tail
feathers tipped with black The Pekin
is practically diminutive buff Cochin.
The Japanese bantam shows by its
name it's origin This breed is gener-
ally considered the most beautiful
among bantams The plumage is pure
white, except the tail. which is black,

LIME FOR POULTRY.
II Given at All, 1t Must Be Given "a a
Diluted form

II Given at All, It Must BE Given IN q
Diluted form.
The suggestion to give grain soaked
in lime water to poultry is well worthy
of quasi condemnation. Animals can
this-its natural condition-is acrid
and injurious There is no need for it,
either, or for the trouble taken in pre-
pairing the grain. Some fresh bones
with the meat attached. as are thrown
aside by the butchers, especially the
softer and more cellular rib bones,
make the best form in which to give
the lime needed by hens. If it is too
much trouble to break these with a
hammer on block in the poultry yard,
which has been my practice for years,
the bones may be burned in the kitchen
stove and the ashes given to the fowls
in the yard or in some place TO which
they have free access. The waste bones
of the household may be thus turned
70 use in the most profita bic way, and
a flock of fifty hens viii consume all
the waste of a good-sized family. For
large hocks contract should be made
with the local butcher. In this form
the lime is digestible and the phosphoric
acid in the bones will also be valuable.
It is very certain that no indigestible
matter given to a hen can help her in
any way to make shells for her eggs,
all the material of which must neces-
sarily pass through the blood before it
can reach the ovary.
1t is a common experience among
poultrymen that rape and hemp seed
are useful 10 the laying hens, and in
crease the number of eggs Now both
these seeds are rich in lime, the ash Of
the former having IA per cent. OF it and
that of the latter 20 per cent And in
this regard it might be mentioned that
the seed of the esparcet, which is eaten
by fowls with great avidity, has more
than third of its ash lime Thus the
culture of this plant, one of the legumi-
nosB, may be recommended as very
useful to poultrykeepers. 1t is com
mon crop on the small French farms,
under its common name sainfoin, and
the fowls eat the whole plant. which
like all its family (the clover) has a
great quantity ofelime in 1t. Clover
itself is thus use full TO fowls as a green
crop on this account. This is the only
way in which lime can be given to
fowls BEAUTIFULLY. Country Gentle

Strangers in China have the greatest
difficulty when meeting a funeral or a
wedding procession ON the street to
distinguish one from the other The
same red cloth coolies, carrying roast
ed pig and other dainties, appear N the
procession, the same smaller coolies
carrying cheap paper ornaments. and
the same noisy turnout. And all
this when some old person is being
carried to his last resting place as
when the youngest and most beautiful
celestial maiden IS being carried to
the new home prepared by her hus-
band. The crowd al funeral is as
noisy as at wedding and the guests

indeed. between the two is that e the
center of one the bride is carried in an
incloSed sedan chair, borne on the
shoulders OF some men. and followed
by her bridesmaids In that OF the
other the coffin is carried and the
mourners follow. Indeed, an English

A prominent young man of the city

tent that it was injuring his health.
says the indianapolis Sentinel. He has
a girl of whom he thinks all the world,
and it's a case of vice versa. This
young lady has a very good complex
ion, but has an inordinate love for the
use of powder, which h1bit the young
man detests as heartily as she does his
cigarette habit. They finally agreed
that each would swear off-the one
from using powder and the other from
smoking cigarettes.
1t was hard work for the yonng man,
but every time he hungered for wad
of nicotine his mind pictured the form
of his fair one parading down the street
with her face looking like pan of
dough, and he desisted. This went on
for several weeks and each was re-
marking upon how much better the
other was looking; but the old craving
for the coffin nail came upon the young
man once more, and one day last week
he broke over. He thought no one
would ever find it out But he was
seen, the news was carried to the girl,
and she prepared to get even.
They were to go to the theater and
the young man called with the cab.
The young lady was at the door, her
face closely muffled, and in her hand

turned to speak to the fair one by his

it with powder until it had been neces-

Spouse.
"Well, say no. am not travelling

And they did. 1t cost him ten, there
were two vacant seats at the opera

smoked any cigarettes since.

The increasing use of the peanut as
a food staple in other parts of the
world is attracting the attention of
our department of state, and the bureau
of statistics is gathering information
from the consuls about it. The Amer
lean consul at Frankfort, Germany,
writes that experiments are now in
progress with view to the use of pea
nut meal in the commissary of the
German army and navy.
Most of the nuts imported into Ger
many are used only for their oil. In
1898 the imports amounted to 20,97S
tons. Of this quantity nearly $4,000
tons came from Africa and almost all
the rest from British East India. Only
twenty-five tons were imported from
this country, which produces the
sweetest tasting but least oleaginous
varieties. Most of the oil is used as
substitute for olive oil for salads and
cooking. The best African nut oil
ranges in price from 81 cents to 81 a
gallon. The American nuts produce
an oil worth only about SO cents
