Topeka, Kas., Sept. 9.-Susan Alyer,
who married Harrison Downey at Atch
inson Wednesday night, has wearied of
her bargain and announces that she
will ask for a divorce on the ground
that Downey hypn0tized her. She was
widow In comfortable circumstances,
and her first acquaintance with Dow
ney was Monday morning, when he
trampad to her door asking for work.
She put him to work in her yard, and
before the day had passed he was on
visiting terms with her. The follow
Ing morning he returned, and, instead
Of resuming his work he laid siege to
her heart.
She says she tried to resist him,
but he seemed to have her under spell.
This was continued until Wednesday
afternoon, when she consented to
marry him. Following up his advan-
tage. he persuaded her to have the
marriage ceremony performed that
night and she again yielded, the pro-
bate Judge tying the knot at . p. m.
On Thursday Downey assumed to be
master Of the household. She gave
him money, which he spent freely. and
his ardor began to wane. Then 1t
dawned upon her that she had made
an awful blunder and her friends have
prevailed upon her to get rid of her
magician.

POULTRY AND BEES.

Pekin ducks produce on the average
about $50 eggs a year-sometimes as
many as 200.
An intimate, everyday and every
hour acquaintance with the flock is
what leads up to profit.
What is worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll, is a saying that holds pre-
eminenuiy true with poultry work.
Mush is not the thing to feed chick
ems. Feed baked cornmea1 until they
are large enough TO eat cracked corn
Growing chickens must be fed often
Young chickens cannot eat enough al
any one time to last them more than
a few hours, as their crops are small
No breed combines the two qualities
perfectly, the large layers being more
or less deficient in flesh, while the
best table fowls are apt to lay fewer
eggs.
The qualities of a strain of fowls
may be improved and their egg pro-
duct1on increased, as well as their size,
by a careful selection, mating and
breeding.
A Massachusetts, farmer is reputed
to be coming $4,000 per year out of the
poultry business because he has caught
on to the knack OF going at things in
the right way.
Another charming quality about the
honey business in the alfalfa districts
is that It is a business that lasts all
the year round. Honey production
runs well along into the fall months.

ducks than with almost any other kind

Do not make the mistake of over
feeding, but keep the laying hens in an

should not have too much soft food, as
this is fattening and should be given

The bee-keeper has one great adj
vantage over the average farmer or
rancher. No man ever became a sue
cessful farmer by reading books on
agriculture. He has to win success by
hard toll in the fields and years of
self-denial and triumphs over ''the
stubborn globe" as well as battles
with mortgages. bad years and short
crops But Bookkeeping is a simple
problem on which excellent books have
been written, and the thoughtful, oh
servant temperament which comes on
a man with middle age is rather favor
able than otherwise to success in the
work
