AMONG THE POULTRY.

RoosTs should not be over two feet
high from the floor.
THE goose does not usually prove to
be good mother until the second
year.
The cockerel should have good plain
food and not such food as to fatten
him.
The males should always be kept
away from the hens until the breeding
season opens.
"A POULTRY-KEEPER has removed all
the roosts and furnishes clean straw
for bed for his hens. This is taken
out every day and the house swept.
He claims that this is preventive Of

WHEN eggs are high, some one rec

claimed that the eggs will sell for
enough more to pay for the basket.

True Story of the Rise OF Young Man

True Story Of the Rise Of Young Man
to High Position.
A man who visited New York recent
~ tells story which sounds as if it
might have been taken bodily from one
of those books which parents love to
see in the hands of their children.
A young man who was working as
clerk in an importing house had occa-
sion frequently in the course of bust
ness to call at certain large manufac-
turing establishment. The head of the
concern took fancy TO him. One day
he asked the young man what salary he
was getting, what his chances Of promo
ton were, and so on. Tie was told, and
then said to the young man tn at he
thought there was a better opportuni-
ty for him in his Office than in t he house
where he was then employed. The
young man replied that lie should Of
course like to better himself, but that
his engagement would not permit him
to leave for some time to come. The
head of the house said he thought ne
might induce his employer to let him go.
He accordingly wrote note to the senior
partner Of the importing house, with
whom he was on intimate terms, saying
that he had formed a liking for the
young man, that he believed there was
better opening for him in his Office
and asking that he be released. The
next day the young man came back
with letter in which his employer,
while expressing regret at losing his
services, said that he recognized the
larger opportunity offered him, and,
as he didn't want to stand in his way,
released him. The clerk went to work
in his new position and so confirmed
his employers good impressions that
his promotion was rapid. He went
from one position to another until he
was next to the manager of the house.
A short time ago the manager died and
''our hero" now no longer a young
man" of course, but still in the prime of
life, took his place alta salary verynear-
ly if not quite as large as President
Cleveland's.

Man Who Leased Skates Told Thackcray
Of Isut One Loss.
Thackeray once asked one of the men
who let's out skates on the Serpentine
whether he had ever lost pair through
the omission to exact a deposit, and he
replied that he had never done so ex-
cept on one occasion, when the circum-
stances made it almost pardonable. A
well-dressed young fellow was having
his second skate fastened on when he
suddenly broke away from the mans
hands and dashed on to the ice. The
next instant a thicl1-set, powerful man
was clamoring for another pair. II
shall nab him now" he cried, "for lam
dab at skating" He was sherlff's
officer in pursuit Of his prey, and very
animating sight it was to watch the
chase. He was, as he had boosted, a
frst-rate skater, and it became present.
" obvious that he was running down
his man. Then the young fellow de-
termined to run desperate risk for
liberty. The ice, as usual, under the
bridge was marked dangerous" and
he made for it at headl long speed. The
ice bent beneath his weight, but he got
safely through. The sheriff's officer
followed with equal pluck, but, being a
heavier man, broke through and was
drowned. Ellis skates" said the mar
rator of the Incident got back after
the inquest, but those the young gen.
tleman had on never saw again"

On Being: J" Born in the Moon"

The old European astrologers OF the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
predicted the future Of a child by the
age and position of the moon at the
time of it's birth. To be born in the
light of the moon, sign in the head,
with ascending node, insures a large
brain, exalted intelligence and a very
progressive spirit. If the sign was in
the heart, the child would become d
generous, jovial, kind-hearted man or
woman; if in the stomach, a great eater,
with a tendency to grow corpulent. If
the sign happened to be in the legs at
the time of that important event, the
baby would one day become greet
traveller; if, in the feet, a good dancer.

q To build the yards connected with
the house set posts IL feet apart and
board up feet from the ground with
common rough 1s-inch boards; then
above that use pinch mesh poultry
netting SO inches wide. This makes a
fence feet high and no fowl, except
some of the small breeds, will ever fly
over it. The boards at the bottom are
tokeep the cocks from fighting through
the fence. If desired this house can
be used for breeding fowls to accom-
modate two yards of twelve fowls each
by running a partition through the
center and having each yard connect
with one end of the house. The yards
should be rods wide and 6 rods long,
built the longest way north and south,
with north end connecting with house.
If a large number of fowls are to be
kept, number of these houses can be
built along in row, all facing the
south, far enough apart to admit of the
runs or yards being built three rods
wide. In this case tight fence can
be built between the houses on the
north side to keep the cold wind from

a Term sailors Are In the Habit Of APP
~ >r1 plying to the Baltic yG%'
The passage Of the North sea, or Bal
tic ocean for it is equally well known
by both titles-is looked upon with
dread by the navigators who have to
brave its dangers. es.,.. e, .o,.. ID:
The sailors Of the North German
Lloyd call it the Sea of Murder, in al
fusion to the marine disasters with
which its history bristles, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The captain of the
liner whose destination is Liverpool or
London feels that the perils of his voy-
age are practically over when he
reaches Queenstown. The command
ers of the sister ships of the Ilbe,
on the other hand, ~ealize that the
most dangerous part Of their jour
ney is yet to come, for ahead of them
is the narrow and crowded English
channel and the equally crowded, RIA
tempestuous North sea. ).
These unruly. waters are open to the
fierce sweep of the wind that is SO
dreadful to Europe, that which is from
the northeast. Only those who have
experienced these marrow-chilling,
pneumonia-b breeding blasts can realize
their anger and their power. The Gulf
stream, which surges up the chapnel
and around the northern end OF the
British isles, meets the icy currents
from the Arctic regions. Storms, varied
by dense fogs, result from this COM
bination. The east coast of England
forms deadly lee shore for the ship
ping caught in the prevailing winds.
In addition to these natural dangers,
the North sea is crossed and recrossed
by dozens of steamer ''lanes." It is
also the seat of The great herring fish
cries, with their thousands of smacks
and schooners that, lying at anchor
here, there and everywhere, are by no
means the least of the dangers which
menace the navigator. Here, too, are
hundreds of Scotch and English coast
ing craft, which stand well 20 sea to
avoid the dangers of shore lines. And
lastly the mouth of the Thames spreads,
funnel like, into the North sea, adding
to the total perils with its fleets of in.
coming and outgoing vessels.

Tho Lack of Limo In Grain.

While corn is a food that has its mis-
sion in winter, it will do more harm
than good when continued steadily on
into spring. Wheat may be classed
with corn. These grains are good be-
cause they are concentrated, and en-
able the hens to eat enough from which
to derive their warmth, but though
they contain proportion of nitrogen
they are very deficient in the mineral
elements. There is less than pound
of lime in one thousand pounds Of
wheat, and if hen is compelled to sub
sist on grain entirely, how is it posi-
BILE for her to furnish eggs, which are
not only covered with a she'll of lime,
but also contain within themselves the
substances that are changed into bone,
blood, flesh and fat.-Farm and Fire

Binding Irvine.
ADMITTED ALL BUT THAT.

The management of the State pris-
on Irvine plant announce that they
will furnish Irvine in car load lots at
the following prices: Pure American
Hemp Irvine, 525 TT. to h., 5 cents;
Standard Irvine, 500 f.. to h., 5 cents;
Sisal Hemp Irvine, II cents; Manila
and Sisal (mixed). SIS #. to h., S.
cents; Pure Manila Hemp Irvine, $50
#. to h., 81 cents.
All the above grades are made
from the very best raw material, and
are guaranteed first class in every re-
spect. The prices given are f. %. b.
Saltwater, the purchaser paying the
freight to destination. If necessary
to meet legitimate competition, the
board of managers guarantees to re-
arrange the price schedule, and give
all persons the full benefit of any re-
auctions that may be made. On ac

rates. purchasers will find it to their
advantage to order in car lots. A
further reason for the wisdom of this
policy is found in the fact, that in
order to meet the actual cost of hand
ling for shipment, the management
finds it necessary to add one half
cent per pound to the price of each
grade for all orders less than car lots
Only limited quantity of the four
grades last named will be offered for
sale this year.
The Irvine is sold direct to farmers
and no agents are employed.
All orders for less than car load
lots must be accompanied by the
cash. For car load lots time will be
given until Nov. LIST, on approved
notes
Blank orders and notes will be fur
nished on application to Henry VOL
fer, Warden, Saltwater, Minnesota.
In ordering car loads, where time
is required on the whole or part of
the amount, purchasers shout fill out
the blank order stating the name of
the consi gnee, in case several parties
sign the order. The account will be
carried on in the name of such con-
signee. unless other directions are
given. or it is thought advisable to do
otherwise. Therefore his or their
names should generally appear first
On the order. Make properly Sc
cured note on the blank furnished,
for the full amount of the car lot and
mail it with the order, in ample time
to be thoroughly examined by the
warden or managers before the time
of shipping the Irvine. No order will
be honored unless the security is
thoroughly satisfactory. All the par
ties who sign the note should also be
signers of the order, and all should
fill out the blank personal statement
furnished by the managers. This
latter requirement is necessary to as
sist the management in determining
the reliability of the credit purchaser.
Make specific statements. Do not
generalize.
Remember that car lot freight
rates are generally about one-half
less per hundred pounds than the
rate per hundred on quantities less
than car lots. A car lot is rever less
than 10000 pounds.-Luverne Her
