When engaged on the two pictures
The Queen Receiving the Sacrament"

Royal much of my fathers time and
money was spent in taking them from
one nobleman's house to another to
obtain sittings, but often to find. after
making an appointment with a duke

my father ] saw a whito-haired elderly
gentleman walk up the short gravel
path and steep steps of our little villa
and shading his eyes from the sun, take
a rapid survey of the front garden as
he stood on the steps. and how, when

all the neighbOrs in the same loud tone
that the distance between Apsley house

more than once and when my father

certainly over five miles," The duke
had come on horseback and was much
pleased when told that my father would
wait upon him for a sitting at Apsley
house, but on doing so he was received
by the duke with: Well Mr.. Leslie.
didn't you find 1t long way? over
five miles. am sure.''
A few days later my father CHANGED
to mention this to Sir Edwin Land
seer, who knew more of the duke than
ne did. Sir Edwin said: 1T is no use
to differ with the duke; l once did
about some engravings Of my own pic
lures. with which he was having room
papered. and ventured to suggest that
as many of them were valuable proofs
they might be attached to the wall only
by paste around the edges. SO that at
any future time they could be removed
without injury. But he cut me short
at once with No, no; that would not
do at all. What do is this: / get

I see you asking for the egg records,

few lines now. l do not know your
object in asking for these records,
whether to compare this year with last
or to see what we are doing this sea-

fifty feet each way. Each park contains
a cockerel and six or eight pullets.

this spring my White Wyandottes have
kept in the lead, at least until they
wanted to sit. Yet there may be a
reason for them doing so we'll, for my
Wyandottes are all pullets, while my
Leghorns and Hamburgs are mostly
old hens. l keep the old hens because
| think they give better and stronger
chicks, even if they do not lay SO many
eggs. l had to use puliets in my wy
andotte pens, as l had no old Wyan-
dottes. l have averaged in these pens
four or five eggs day, and that, too.
all the spring. For about two weeks
straight every pullet Of my Wyandottes
laid six eggs for eight hens. My Brown
Leghorns did about the same. My Ham
burgs are little behind, laying about
so per cent of possible hundred. that
Is, three or four eggs for pen OF SIN
hens. For some reason unknown,
poultry are not laying so we'll this sea-
son as for some years back. This Is
true OF other poultry as we'll as OF
chickens. Also the new chicks are not
showing up very fast. What are
Matched out seem very strong and
healthy. The old hens are not so in
clined to sit as formerly. Perhaps they
have been reading Fosters weather
reports, and are putting off business
for settled weather. But there is plenty
of time yet. especially with the small
breeds. l raised my best chicks last
year in June, and some were even
Matched in September. They were
hachted in an incubator, and are now
laying just as we'll as the chicks
Matched earlier. The best laying my
birds ever did for me was three years
ago. Six pullets in April of that year
gave me 1852 eggs, and then one of the
pullets was out seven days.

Logan Was DOwned.

Gen. John A. Logan was a regular
church attendant in the later wears Of

erence for the Bible, and was influenced
considerably by Bible quotations,

enough TO remember that during the

yer r Morton, he had to be carried
around IN a chair. As they cached
the west entrance OF the Capitol they
were met by an old colored preacher,
who was known to both of them for
the reason that like many other preach
ers OF that day, as well rs this. he was
always soliciting contributions for
church building, buying an organ, or
something else in religious way.
Good morning. gentlemen" ne said,
and then addressing himself more to
his urbane companion than to the
general, Il want that contribution to
our church. We colored people haven't
got many friends. and We have to call

OF some of the incidents of the forest
warfare of the day.
The warriors who had engaged in this
raid on their former friends, the set
tiers along the Allegheny, retreated
two or three days journey into the the
wilderness to an appointed place, where
they found their families. One Of the
Girtys was with the Indians. No
sooner had the last of the warriors
come, with their scalps and prisoners,
including the boy Brickell, than ten of
their number deliberately started
back to Pittsburg. to pass themselves
as friendly Indians, and trade. In a
fortnight they returned, laden with
goods of various kinds, including
whisky. Some of the Inhabitants, sore
from disaster, suspected that these In
dians were only masquerading as
friendly and prepared to attack them,
but one Of the citizens warned them of
their danger and they escaped. Their
effrontery was as remarkable as their
treachery and dnplicity. They had
suddenly attacked and massacred set
tiers by whom they had never been
harmed. and with whom they pre-
served an appearance of entire friend
ship up to the very moment OF the as
sault Then, their hands red with the
blood of their murdered friends. they
came boldly into Pittsburg. among the
near neighbors of these same murder
ed men, and stayed there several days
to trade, pretending to be peaceful
allies of the whites With sa,ages SO
treacherous and SO ferocious it was a
mere imDossibility for the borGerers %

~ as they hit out blindly to revenge
the blows that fell upon them from
unknown hands. Brutal though the
1rontlersnen often were, they never
employed the systematic and deliberate
pad faith which was a fayorite weapon
with even the best of the red tribes.

They are all-round good fowls, being
of good size and hardy, and most excel

Their flesh is nicely marbled. and hence
they make a good table fowl. For the

Disin fecttng Turkey Quarters.
The Bureau of Animal Industry has
been Investigating "black-head" in tur-
keys. Incidentally it gives the follow
ing instructions as to disinfection:
From our present knowledge of the
transmission of this disease it is sug-
gested that farmers and poultry raisers
who have recently had this disease in
their fiocks should dispose of their old
turkeys and start by Matching turkey
eggs under hens or with turkeys OBJ
tanned from non-infected districts,
preferably from the south, as this dis
ease is not known to exist there. AS
precautionary measure, the turkey
roosts, especially the accumulated
droppings. should be disinfected early
in the spring before the young turkeys
arc Matched or old ones introduced. The
liberal use Of Stacked lime in the yards
most frequently occupied by the dis
eased turkeys is recommended. A SER
viceable disinfectant for buildings and
places containing the feces of diseased
turkeys is the following:
Crude carbOlic acid. . .one-half gallon
Crude sulphuric acid. .one-half gallon
These two substances should be
mixed in tubs or glass vessels. The
sulphuric acid is very slowly added to
the carbolic acid. During the mixing
large amount Of heat is developed,
The disinfecting power of the mixture
is heightened if the amount Of heat lie
Kept down by placing the tub or glass
demijohn containing the carbolic acid
IN cold water while the sulphuric acid
is being added. The resulting mixture
IS added to water in the ratio of / to
~. One gallon of mixed acids will
thus furnish twenty gallons of a strong
disinfecting solution, having a slightly
milky appearance. 1t is quite corro-
sive, and care should be taken to pro-
tect the eyes from accidental splashing.

Stock raising is not a business that
can be engaged in without experience
as all those who have ventured can

every ambitious breeder should
