What to DO with Chat.

Chaff is refuse, and on large wheat
farms it is used in horse-stalls, or dis
posed of in any possible manner.
There is nothing that will equal it on
the floor of the poultry-house, as it
absorbs moisture from the droppings,
keeps the floor clean, and facilita ties
the work of sweeping out the house.
1t should be used literally however,
two or three inches deep being prefer
able to light supply. 1t is better
than sawdust, as the hens do not in
jure themselves with it, as is often the
case with sawdust when they fill their
crops with it. Cut straw or leaves
may also be used with the chaff, the
combination of the several materials
being better than any one of them
alone; but the chaff is better than any
other material, if it can be had, should
1t be necessary to use only one sub
stance. A handful of millet seed, scat
tered in the chaff, will induce the hens
to begin work, and they will not care
to go outside if the floor is kept con-
stantly littered.-Farm and Fireside

RULED BY TWO QUEENS,

A Recent Discovery Which Upsets Former
Ideas About Bees.
1t has hitherto been regarded as an
established fact which could not be
called in question by the most skeptic-
al that each community of bees was
distinguished by it's loyalty to one
queen, and that the latter would brook
no rival, the appearance of another
queen being the signal for a battle
royal which only ended in the death
of one or both. These beliefs are
now overthrow by an Austrian sci
enlist, Prof. Cater, of Simmering,
who has just exhibited thriving hive
the members of which are governed
conjointly by two queens, and the
bees apparently approve of the inno-
walton. Nay, what is still more re-
markable the two monarchs get along
most satisfactorily and without the
slightest friction.
One of the greatest authorities on
agriculture sat for hours at a stretch
observing the conduct of the two
queens. They approached each other
from time to time without the slight
est antipathy, and on two or three
occasions actually caressed each 9TH
er most tenderly, and then separated
quietly and peacefully, followed by
their devoted suites Prof. Cater has
just received the first prize for his SEN
sational exhibit, which is attracting
crowds to the bee show. and the mem
bers of the agricultural and horticulture
al societies of Vienna are proud to think
that no such extraordinary spectacle
as this was ever witnessed or recorded
in the history of bees The document
drawn up, signed and duly attested
will be preserved in one of the mu-
seums of Vienna, and copies of it will

A PECULIAR CASE.
Puzzled by the Expert
ence Of Mrs. Bowen.
The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
Consumption.
(From the Record. Philadelphia, Pay

(From the Record, Philadelphia, Pa.)
Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
a woman whose pale and emaciated face and
racking cough proclaimed her the vic
tim of consumption. She gave her name as
Mrs. Sallie G. Bowen, wife of VIM. G.
Bowen, residence, 1919 Meighan ST., Phila-
delphia The case was diagnosed and she
was told plainly that she was in an adj
vanced stage of consumption. The examin-
ing physician even showed her the sunken
place in her breast where the cavity in her
lung was supposed to exist. She went home
to her family a broken, disheartened woman
with death staring her in the face. That was
the beginning of the story, the end was told
by Mrs. Bowen, who no longer expects to
die, to a reporter who visited her home
"1'he first symptoms of consumption came
in the form of terrible sweats, both night
and day. From April until September
was constantly cold and kept wrapped up
in blankets through the hottest weather. A
terrible cough took possession of me, my
breast was sore to the slightest touch, and
my limbs were like cold clay. The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would not
create the slightest flush, and the least ex-
ertion would so exhaust me that could
barely gasp for water.
II went 10 the nOSpludl III July dnu Iney
diagnosed my case as above stated 1t
was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT of sunshine came. Mr..
Shelmerdine friend, who lives around at
1914 Clementine ST., said to me one day:
Mrs Bowen, did you ever try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale Peoplel ! had never
heard of the medicine, but in my condition,
could not turn deaf ear to anything that
offered relief. 1t was after considerable
thought and investigation that concluded
to discontinue all the medicine Twas taking,
including cod liver oil, and depend entirely
upon Pink Pills. began to take the Pills,
at Iirst with but little encouragement. The
first sign of improvement was n warmth
and tiugling sensation in my limbs.
Finally the cough disappeared, my chest
lost its soreness and | began to gain flesh
until was fifteen pounds heavier. All this
/ owe to DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
cannot praise them too highly"
Mrs Bowen Is n kindly faced lady OF
middle age a church member well-kuoWn

well and strong, and il seems almost i'm
possible that she was ever given up by
eminent physicians as an incurable con
sumptive. Yet such is the case beyond all
dispute.

FARM AND GARDEN.
FEEDING EXPERIMENT.


Peas Mixed with Bran Is the Most Prof
liable Feed for Hogs.
Bulletin No. "a of the Utah Expert
ment station renders the relative value
of wheat, peas, corn and barley in the
production of pork. 1t is a record of
feeding experiment with Berkshire
hogs during the winter of 1884.
There were four sets of hogs fed; one
was fed wheat and bran in equal pro-
portions by weight; one peas and bran;
another corn and bran, and a fourth
barley and bran. In other respects
the conditions were equal. The expert
ment extended from December 5, 1898,
to May 10, 1894.
Peas mixed with bran, half and
half by weight, proved to be far
superior to either wheat, corn or bar
ley mixed and fed in the same manner,
both as to rapid gain and to the
amount required for one pound of
gain.
The wheat mixture comes second,
with corn and barley following in the
order named.
The pea mixture gave gain of near
ly 200 pounds more than the wheat
mixture; 225 pounds more than the
corn mixture, and 259 pounds more
than the barley mixture.
While the pigs averaged the same
weight, it required SO of a pound
more of the wheat mixture, 1.41 pounds
more of the corn mixture, and 1.53
pounds more of the barley mixture to
produce one pound of gain than of the
pea mixture.
Peas and wheat proved to be excel
lent feed, fed mixed with bran in the
manner described.
Reckoning pork at four cents per
pound, live weight, after deducting
the cost of the bran at $40 per ton,
wheat fed in this experiment brought
s9.4 cents per bushel, or 81. 40 per hun
dredweight; peas, $1.7O per hundred
weight; corn, 81. 26 per hundredweight,
and barley, sl.28 per hundredweight.
On the above basis peas should be
worth Is per cent. more than wheat,
while corn should be Is per cent. less,
and barley II per cent less.
The pigs were pure bred Berkshires;
the gains were only moderately good
and not excessive.

WASHINGTON IN 1900.
What tn" Capital City Was Like In tn
Early Days.


What tn" Capital City Was Like in the
Early Days.
If Philadelphia was sad, what can be
said of Washington in these early days3
When the government moved there IN
1900 the journey was made over roads
that did not deserve the name of high
ways, that were mere wagon tracks
blazed through the woods. The wagons
were rough and springless makeshifts.
The company was promiscuous and
democratic. The inns were generally
neat, but the food was chiefly of salted
pork. There were everywhere made
quate accommodation. Europeans com
planned that they were compelled to
sleep in rooms which contained from
two to a dozen beds, and sometimes to
occupy a bed with a stranger. The
journey from Baltimore to Washington
that is now made in an hour required a
long day century ago, while the best
part of three days was consumed by the
journey from Philadelphia to the new
capital. As Mrs. John Adams recalled
it, the way was somber, the woods
were thick, the swamps were noisome,
the evidences of life were few. Now
and then hut was seen in small
clearing, and there were inns at the
end of the stages between Philadelphia
and Georgetown.
Washington itself was the most un-
comfortable capital in the world.
Nothing was finished. The president
moved into an uncompleted white
house, and congress into an uncSeps
pleted capitol. Pennsylvania avefTne
was described by John Cotton Smith as
deep morass covered with alder
bushes" The trees had been cut from
it, sidewalks had been made with chips
from the stone of the capitol, the black
Tiber creek which crossed it had been
spanned by timber bridge. Here and
there were groups of wooden buildings
for the accommodation of congress
men. Six brick dwelling houses that
are still standing on Pennsylvania
avenue, between Twenty-frst and
Twenty-second streets, had been built
with money derived from the sale of
lottery tickets. There was one good
tavern about forty rods from the pres
ident's house, but there was enormous
difficulty in securing lodgings. The
members of congress, the cabinet Off
GERS, and all but few persons who
were compelled to keep house lodged
in the tavern and boarding houses.
What discomforts they endured is best
illustrated by an entry in the diary of
a member of congress. Speaker Sedg-
wick" he wrote, was allowed a room
to himself: the rest of us in pairs. I"
The northern members who had never
favored the removal of the capitol to
the banks of the Potomac began to
talk about repatriation, and to grum-
BILE at the loss of luxuries they had en-
joved in New York, and especially in
Philadelphia. Attempts to repair the
mistake and to move back to Phila-
delphia were at once begun. These
failing, an effort was made in 1904 to
remove the capital to Baltimore. The
two wings OF the capitol We're not com
pleted until 1911, and so slow had been
the progress of Washington that after
the public buildings had been burned
by the British in 1914 there was a
strong party in congress opposed to an
appropriation for their repair.-Harr

temperature, which is soon lowered
by standing in an open trough on a
