A Soldier OF NaDoIeons

Most of us nowadays, when thinking
of the Napoleonic wars, consider them
as part of the remote past, and it is
difficult to realize that there may be
people still living who took part in the
battles of Marengo, Jena and Water
loo. But all Of Napoleon's soldiers are
not yet dead, and one man who fought
under the great French general is said
to be living now near Cleveland, Ohio
Whether that is true or not, it is a fact
that only recently one Of Napoleon

get back to Germany, and to fight at

cursed Mr.. O'Rafferty as he went.
Absorbed in bitter reflections, he did
not hear the approaching rattle of gig

friendly voice had thrice shouted his

Early MouIting.


Keep the hens that begin to mouIt
early, as they will finish moulting and
be ready for work long before some OF
the other hens begin. When you sell
off the hens early, because they are
shedding their feathers, and do not.
lay, you will be selling off the very hens
that you should keep over for produe-8
ing eggs during the cold months. Old
hens noult earlier than the pullets, be-
cause they begin about eleven months
from the last moulting, which causes
them to begin a month earlier every
year. It will be noticed that the hens
which moulted in August of last yeGr
began in July this year.
Feeding of the moulted hens is Il
matter to receive careful consider,-
ton. When making the new feathers
they require food rich in nitrogen AMI
mineral matter. Linseed meal, bone,
meat and milk should be given IN
preference to grain, and they should
have free access to grass, especially
clover. 1t is also important to give
them dry quarters, so as to protect
them when nearly naked, as dampnesS
may induce roup, which is contagious,
and may carry off the whole flock. TX
