Winter Poultry Notes.

How Much Room More room Is re-
CURED in the poultry house in winter
than in summer because during the
warm season the fowls can 20 outside,
only requiring sufficient room for roost-
ing, but in winter they need room for
scratching when the snow is on the
ground. It is the space on the floor
that is required and not on the roost,
for when a hen fixes herself on the
roost she will be quiet until morning;
but during the day she should be kept
busy. Ten fowls in a poultry house
ten feet Auare (making 100 square feet
are 'sufhcient, but most persons endeav-
or to double and even treble that NUM-
ber, and the consequence is that they
feed too many fowls in proportion to
the number of hens they keep. (The
Farmers Review doubts the correctness
Of the statement, and believes that far
less room is required.)
Frozen Food, All food that has been
moistened will freeze and become use
less when the weather is cold. When
the food is placed in, the trough it
should be rather too little than too
much, and should be given warm. AS
soon as the hens have eaten, all the
food left over should be removed and
the trough cleaned. II they have not
had enough a little wheat or corn may
be scattered in litter for them to
scratch. II they eat partially frozen

INJURED: Eyes, sir"
Ihat evening Johnny stopped as he
entered the yard and looked pensively
at his father, who was putting new
plece OF flooring in the front porch
fils work caused him to bend far over,
and Johnny's eye lit with inspiration.
Going noiselessly around the side Of the
house, he returned with barrel stave.
He waved it up and down two or three
times SO as to make his aim sure, and
Then struck. The noise of the impact
was great, but it was slight compared

as ne leaped in the air with a yell and
descended on his hands and feet, like
a gorilla. It was wholly Endigni-
ned spectacle and the triumph faded
out OF the boys face as he saw the fierce
expression that his victim wore.

MI. Blykins yelled. ..You reprobate!
You thug! You highbinder! What do
you mean by committing such a dis
graceful attempt at parricide? You
come with me, SIR"
You oughtn't to punish me for that
Johnny protested. "You told me that
the theater was a great educator and
that must remember to keep my eyes
open and learn all Icould When the boy
on the stage did that every body thought
it was splendid and laughed and ap-
plauded.''
It's your own fault, Lemuel," said
Jonnny,s mother, who had heard the
noise and was standing in the door. sI
nave always told you that matinees are
not good for children. Now you will
admit the truth of what I said.''
II admit nothing of the kind. All
III concede is that the stage needs ele-
vatlon; and it needs it in a hurry and
a whole lot of it. Johnny, I shall not
prohibit you from ever going to the
theater again, but will see to it that
you don't see any play that is not strict
~ classical and with which am not
thoroughly familiar"

About Emerson.

The anaemic incompleteness Of En-
erson's character is traced to the philo-
sophy Of his race and the fundamental
falseness Of every bit Of transcendent-
alism, Emerson included, pointed out
a falsehood consisting in the theory Of
the self-sufaciency Of each individual,
men and women alike. Margaret Full
ler's after history showed that she, for
one, was constituted like other human
beings, was dependent upon human
relationships and was not only very
noble. but also very womanly crea-
ture." She was driven into the vagar-
les Of her earlier career by s'..the lack Of
something which she did not know ex,
isted.' ss

8 11elns Hog CHOLERA Along.

OF opinion as to what filth is. Gener--

Ing cattle e'well, this is dangerous
ground. So many practice it and be-
lieve in it that if / should condemn 1t
all the Toms, Dicks and Harrys from
Oklahoma to Ohio would follow me
with the precipitancy Of man run
nine ming down stairs pursued by a kitchen
stove, and perhaps, for safety, compel
ling me hastily to seek the shortest way
to the tallest timber. So will let that
pass and say nothing about it. Any
thing that weakens a hogs system
makes him more receptive Of cholera
microbes. In this category can be
named too close inbreeding, breeding
from immature animals and wrong
feeding, as an all corn diet for young
animals, sinking slops, impure drink
ing water, nesting in cold, damp pla-
ces and other errors in feeding and
care. Disease bacteria and cleanliness
are antagonistic, and the farmer will
not flourish if environed by the latter,
with this one exception, that there has
been profuse production of the for
mer in some nearby fountain Of filth.

A CURIOUS IRON MINE.
The Workmen Use Their Feet to Find
the Ore.

The Worklnen Use Their Feet to Find
the Ore.
Lake ores are abundant in northern
Europe, but, SO far as the writer's
knowledge extends, Lac la Tortue and
neighboring lake are the only in
stances Of the kind in North America,
says Popular Science Monthly. The ore
is extracted from our lake mine by
hand and by power. The shallow mar
gin is divided into sections and allotted
to suitable parties who may desire to
work them and who are paid at spe-
CITED rate per ton Of ore raised. Two
men generally work in company. Their
implements are a shovel a strong cir
cular sieve and rough hand barrow.
When work is to be begun the workmen
remove shoes and stockings and use
their feet in searching for ore which
lies imbedded in the soft sand, nothing
coarser than sand, except ore cakes,
being found in the lake. Guided by
their feet the workmen put down their
shovels and bring to the surface a
quantity of ore and sand, which they
throw into their circular sieve. This is
then held below the surface of the wa
ter and made to rotate to and fro until
the soft sand is washed away from the
ore, which is then thrown on scow
provided for the purpose or carried to
shore. When sufficient quantity has
been collected it is carted to the rail-
way near at hand and loaded on cars.
From the deeper parts Of the lake the
ore is raised by means of a steam
dredge. The captain of the dredge
moves over the lake and, putting down
pole and working it about on the bot
tom, can easily learn where there is a
body Of ore suitable for dredging. The
dredge is then moved to the desired
spot and work is begun. The ore and
sand are brought up in buckets on an
endless chain and thrown into a long.
revolving screen, adjusted and inclined
! so as to deliver it upon scows moored
Ito the dredge. In it's course down the
