To Way i'm Which Corn Can BE Fed to
Better Advantage.

Better Advantage.
How can [ best fatteG fowls for mar
ket?"
This is q very simple matter, and one
not requiring any special tact or skill.
It is a very profitable proceeding, too.
for fowls that are thin and light can be
made to put on the heaviest possible
weight in very short time if they arc
properly handled.
Fowls fatten best in confinement. and
these which are to be sold should be shut
Up in rather close quarters, and fed all
they will eat of corn meal coarsely
ground We have tried various mix
lures for fattening fowls, but never
found anything superior to coarse corn
meal and plenty of pure water. just
these two things will make tough,
thin old hen plump and tender in two
weeks. and when she comes to the
table her flesh will be as sweet, juicy
and tender as a spring chicken.
Fowls that are sent to market fat am,
plump always bring the best prices, and
this because they present an inviting
appearance. There is no better way in
which corn can be fed to advantage than
to use it in finishing a lot of thin fowls
III preparation for market. The fowls
should be sold DIS soon as they are we'll
fattened. for after this is accomplished
il is waste of food to keep them any
longer.-Farm and Fireside.

A Curious CaIvinC Case.

A farmer who runs Il dairy farm IL
the northern part of the village of Fen
ton, Genessee county, Mich, owns a
Jersey heifer not quite two years old.
Frisay, September 10, she gave birth
to ine heifer calf. but she did not
seem to show natural maternal feel
ing for it. and it was removed and
placed with another COW. Saturday,
September 81, eight days later, she
gave birth to another heifer calf, even
larger than the first one: her milk
Immediately came, and she owned her
calf. Roth calves are now with her.
The case seems the only one known
among the oldest farmers in this
vicinity. The above is true state

Most farmers would have better sue
cess with bees if they used only the
old straw or box hives. Bookkeeping
with the moyable-frame hives is an art
which few care to learn; the straw hive
is simple tool which anyone can use.
Before the bee-moth became prevalent,
nearly every farmer kept bees in this
simple way. The introduction of the
italian bee has done away with this
trouble. With the old-fashioned hives,
women and children can do most af
the work, and beekeeping, like pou1-
try raising, can be their special prov
ince and profit. Aside from learning to
hive new swarms, little knowledge is
needed.-Country Gentleman.

Weeds are feared by farmers who have

have found a chance to prosper. Weeds,

Recognition Of a Marietta Boy.

William e. Curtis, writing in the
Chicago Record from Canton says,
Maj. McKinley's friends here give
Charles S. Dawes, of Evanston, the
largest degree of credit for the capture
of the Illinois delegation, and especial
ly for the recent remarka BILE triumph
at the Springfield convention. And
they say that the highest evidence of
his skill and tact is found in the fact
that he kept his name out of the news.
papers. Mr.. Dawes came from Mari
eta, O., where his father, Gen. Dawes
is prominent in local affairs, and has
been intimate with the Mckinley fom-
lily for years. Mr.. Dawes, Jr., who is
only about 80 years of age, went to
Lincoln, Neb., when quite youth and
there made considerable money in the
manufacturing of gas. He owns the
gas plants in that city: in Lacrosse,
Wis. in Akron, O.; Fort Wayne, Ind;
Evanston, ILL.,, and is largely interested
in the manufacture of gas machinery.
When Coy. McKinley's managers de-
cided not to make an active canvass in
Illinois for prudential reasons Mr..
Dawes dissented and undertook the
work on his own account and at his own
expense, with results that are now
matter of history. People here who
know him say he has no political am
bition and no desire for notoriety,
which is evident, and went into the
fight solely because he admired his
fathers friend and wanted to see him

FLOWERS WITH HISTORIES.

The daisy was the chosen flower of
Marguerite of Anjou. On her coming
to England all wore her badge and her
royal husband had it engraved on his
plate.
The lotus flower is most associated
with antiquity. AS the sacred flower
of Egypt, as the flower always seen
with Duddha and twined around the
Indian Cupid, it is the mystic and SYM
bolical.
The pretty pink heather blooms all
the year round. An old saw runs:
;"When heather is out of blossom kiss
ing is out of fashion" The ancient
Picts were able to brew delicious
beverage from these flowers.
The Greeks always planted asphodel
and mallow around their tombs and
strewed them with amaranth, myrtle
and polyanthus. The asphodel was sa-
cred to Proserpine, the amaranth was
fadeless and symbol of eternity.
Henry ". of England was the first to
give the forget-me-not it's meaning.
While in exile he added this flower to
the SIS on his collar, entwining it with
the initial letter of his motto: "Sou-
veign de moy," pleading, as it were,
for remembrance in exile.
The three-leaved shamrock is said to
have been an emblem among the an
cient Persians. Its usual time of
blooming is near st. Patrick's day. The
story goes that st. Patrick was trying
to convince stubborn man of the the
ory of three in one. STOPPING, he
plucked shamrock, which fitly ex.
