Best Breeds for Broilers.

II is conceded that the best breeds for
producing broilers Of the highest quail
ity are the Games and Dorkings but il
is well known that the Wyandottes
Plymouth Rocks. Brahmas and Cochins
are more generally preferred. The rea-
son is that while they cannot compete
in producing broilers of the highest
quality with the Games and Dorkings
the chicks are more easily raised, and
ehat is a very important point in win
ter. 1t is the losing of the chicks when
they are young tina inficts the heaviest
cost. Hardness is the first of all quail
ties TO seek in breed.-Farm and Fire

FISH FARMING PAYS.
Kansas Man Gives the Results of
His Experience.

The Rural World has on many occa-
sions said that an acre of water devoted
TO fish culture would bring much larger
returns than If devoted 10 general farm
ing. Mr.. Lyons, OF Kansas, has been
raising fish and has ponds devoted to
them, as well as furnishing ice for win
ter. Many of the fish live on crawfish
and other natural food about the ponds.
But that is not sufficient to supply the
vast number there now. Mr.. LYONS
feeds them corn. He grinds II by steam
power and then steams the meal. Five
bushels of this ground steamed corn is a
feed for each of the two principal ponds.
On II the fish thrive, and there are now
many there that will weigh as much as
- or 3j pounds. Mr.. Lyons watches
them as one would herd of cattle. is
% careful about them as the most par
ticular stockman. He studied their ma
ture and knows what TO do with them
under varying circumstances. He
works with them day and night, when-
ever they need attention. a careful esti-
mate of the supply there now, made by
experienced men, puts il at 80 tons,
making them worth close 10 $4,000
The work on the ponds and dams has
made them worth an easy $4,000, maxi
ing valuable plant of il. The income
from the fish would pay a very large
rate of interest on $4,000 for years to

MRS. BARNES DESERTED
FRANK A. MAGOwAN AND HIS WIFE
AND FAMILY RECONCILED.
Trenton's Ex-Mayor "Brought to
Time- by Directors of the Companies
of Which He Was President.

TRENTON, n. j. Feb. 1.-Ex-Mayor
Frank A. Mcgowan is again living with his
former wife and family. He came to this
city last Saturday and with friends went
to Mrs. Magowan's home. 1t is said that
the couple have become entirely reconciled
and that MCGOWAN has promised to cease
his attentions to Mrs. Barnes. That lady,
it is asserted, has left the Philadelphia
Hotel. where she and MCGOWAN had been
sojourning, and has gone to her old home,
in Canada.
The reconciliation has been brought about
largely by friction between Mcgowan and
his business associates in the four manu-
featuring companies here, of which he Is
president. The concerns should have held
their annual election of officers some time
ago, but they were deferred because Ma
gowan, who holds large blocks of stock in
each company, would not participate. He
endeavored TO force an agreement that he
be reelected president, but the other men
would not consent to such action. Within
the past few days notices have been pub
lished for meetings Of stockholders of these
companies, signed as required by law, by
five stockholders. including Allan Mcgowan,
father of the ex-mayor. Magowans con-
duct has not been acceptable to his busi-
ness colleagues and they took this method
of holding the elec.iefs 1nd deposing him
from office. They were to have been held
next Monday and the theory is that this
move on the part of the stockholders
brought Mcgowan "to time"
Magowan's marriage to Mrs. Barnes in
Milwaukee last June will not act as an
obstacle to the reunion with the first
wife, for the reason that the six months
required to pass by the laws Of Oklahoma,
where he secured his divorce from Mrs.
Mcgowan, in order TO make that divorce
absolute, had not expired when he con-
tracted the second alliance, which has
therefore been held to be illegal.
The Mcgowan Barnes scandal is well re-
membered. About eighteen months ago Ma
gowan left his vile for Mrs. Barnes. wife
of John \. Barnes, superintendent of one
of Magowans mills. They went to Okla
homa together and there Mcgowan brought
suit for divorce, alleging i1compatbility of
temper and eventually securing a decree.
Meanwhile he and Barnes had several per-
sonal and legal encounters. and Mrs.
Barnes subsequently got an oklahoma di-
vorce from her husband. Barnes, however,
disregarded the action of the Western tri-
bunal on the ground that papers were
served on him and he awaits the DISPOSE
ton of the suit for divorce brought by
himself I'm the New Jersey courts.

Baer, of the Christian Endeavor Society,
denies the reports which have wide circu-

ested in, nor have we even asked for. a
single concession Of any kind whatever
The report TO the contrary, originating in
Chicago, is absolutely false and libelous
Endeavorers, will please pay no attention to
misleading and unauthorized stories and
wait for official announcement, which will
be made very soon.''
The Christian Endeavor Society will be
sixteen years old tomorrow, and meetings
in celebration of that event will be held
in all parts Of the world. Many of the great
city unions of this country have arranged
mass meetings in honor of the occasion
and majority of almost fifty thousand of
the societies i'm the world will also specially
observe the day. Secretary Baer stated
to-day that the enrolment of Young Peo-
pies Societies of Christian Endeavor is now
o6.23l, with membership of 2,14220 In
addition there are 11,373 junior societies
having 154. $50 members enrolled Besides
