Terms Of Peace Insisted on by
the Powers Very Displeas-
ing to the Turk.
Majority of His Advisers En-
phatically Oppose Yield
ing a Point.
Outlook for an Agreement on
Terms of Peace Very Dark
at Present.

LONDON, June 10.-The latest advices
from Constantinople deny that the pow
ers are advocating direct negotiations
between Turkey and Greece. In other
respects, however, the aspect of affairs
is rather worse than better. 1t appears
that at Saturdays conference the am
bassadors decliped to accept either
Assem- Bey or Zio Bey as Turkish
commissioner. This, together with
their refusal to discuss the retention of
Thessaly, threw the sultan into such a
rage that he forthwith summoned
meeting of the special commission ap-
pointed to consider the terms of peace.
All day Sunday he was in telegraphic
communication with most of the Euro
pean capitals, and in the evening he
gave stringent orders to the grand
vizier, who Immediately resigned.
Majority Opposed to Yielding.
The special commission sat until the
small hours Of the morning, accomplish
ing nothing but split among it's MEM
bers, the majority Of whom expressed
themselves emphatically as opposed to
yielding to the powers.
The Turks are very angry at the al
legged brusque declaration of Sir Philip
Currie, the British ambassador, that
England will never permit Christians to
return to Turkish rule.
1t is also stated that the German am
bassador is very much disconnected to
find Count Nediloff, the Russian am
bassador, supporting Sir Philip Currie
in this respect; and. though it is still
alleged that Germany is advising Tur-
key to put every manvunder arms, it is
believed she has seen the advisability Of
falling into line with the other powers.

may be kept. Two windows on the front
give light to the lower floor, and the man
sard cupola on the roof affords light to the
upper room. The last building is used for
incubators IN and the brooders, as well as
the heater TO cook feed and keep the place

Feeding Chicks.
The feed for young chickens is often
vexed question. and success is attained only
after the loss of innumerable little feathered
creatures. Chopped hard boiled egg is
recommended by some breeders, but this
feed, while it is readily and greedily eaten,
tends to cOnstipate, and this is fruitful
source of death. Cracker crumbs, or stale
bread dried hard in the oven, crumbled in
milk, makes a good feed. If he.milk is
boiled so much the better. Do not make
the feed sl0ppy-simply crumbly. Corn
meal makes an excellent ration, but should
not be fed raw. Scald some milk and make
stiff, dry mush, cooked thoroughly. If
this is found to constipate slightly, slice an
onion in the milk before scalding, removing
the onion before making the mush. If it is
not desirable to use milk, boiling onion
water will suffice. Oatmeal is also excel
lent. AS soon as they are old enough to eat
it readily, give them cracked wheat or oats,
following it with whole grain in season.
Finely chopped or shredded boiled meat
may be fed every day with good results.

come the pride of the Nation.
Among the houses projected by the
builders of this great Capitol was the
Presidents residence, now Familiarity
known all over the world as the White
! House."
Washington, himself, oficiated at the
Masonic laying of the cornerstone, but
never lived in it; yet under his eve the
structure rose in form and comeliness,
and he had the satisfaction Of walking
through it with his wife, a few weeks
before his death.
1t is a grand ediiice, fashioned after
the palace of the Duke of Leinster in
Dublin, by the famous architect, Hoban.
1t is most delightfully."- situated, on the
20-acre reservation known as the Presi-
dents Grounds, fronting on Pennsylva-
MIA Avenue, and running back to the
Potomac River very near the Davy
Burns Cottage. In fact, it is a part of
the disputed fields and possessions of
that tenacious old Scotchman. The
grounds are now beautifully cultivated.
The house is built in the Grecian style
of architecture, having, on the north
side, a grand portico supported by Ionic
columns, and 4 semi-circular colonnade
on the south. Spacious corridors, grand
salons, lofty ceilings, state and private
dining-rooms, library and living-rooms,
do credit to the ability of Hoban, and
should be the admiration of every
American.

A Convenient House.

This building shows structure somewhat
different in its arrangements from a great
many buildings for poultry. It's practically
three separate buildings in one. The first
is entirely for hens that is, nothing but
nesting places are in this part. 1t is so feet
long by 10 feet wide and seven feet high,
making ample accommodations for from 40
to 60 hens. Openings from the yard permit
them the freedom of the yard when they
desire to go out into it. The second part of
the structure is given entirely TO feeding
quarters and roosting places. The entrance
from the roosting rooms to the laying
quarters is shown in the ground plan indi-
Gated by the letter +. This enables You to
divide your flock at night, avoiding too
much crowding on the roosts, and the doors
leading to each roasting section can be
thrown open, and they can either pass
through there or go directly from the laying
house through the door at the right end of
the laying quarters. The doors are indi-
Gated by letter d, the roosts by r, and in
the feeding quarters the bin and work bench
occupy part of the room.

GROUND PLAN OF A CONVENIENT HOUSE.
When three or four weeks old, mix little
Zone meal in the soft food; it is excellent for
young and rapidly developing fowls. The
standard feed for young poulty all over the
country is a raw dough made of cornmeal.
This will answer quite well, provided they
are allowed liberal range, where they can
procure grass and insects in abundance,
but if confined in coops in small yards,
they, like all other animals, must be sup
piled with a variety of food to keep them
in good health.
All the scraps from the table may be util-
lied for this purpose. Bits of bread and
meat, refuse vegetables, ETC., are all highly
relished by the young chicks, and nothing of
the kind should be wasted. A little red
pepper mixed with the food occasionally
will be found an excellent preventive of the
gapes, so common and so fatal to young
chicks; but it should be used sparingly.
Green onion tops or garlic, chopped fine and
mixed with their food is highly relished by
chickens and turkeys, and promotes growth
of young poultry of all kinds. In fact, there
is scarcely vegetable used upon the farm
eris table but may also be used to advantage
in the food of poultry. Thick sour milk and
curds of milk make an excellent food for
young chickens, and cannot be used too
freely, variety of food being absolutely es-
sential to the highest state of health and the
most rapid growth.
Are Essential.
Three items are essential to the welfare of
a chick: Fresh water, plenty of sunshine,
and exercise. When cats or other animals
are not apt to trouble, release the hen and
brood after the fifth week, and allow them
free range, feeding them regular meals in
the place desired for their evening quarters
Pin Feathers.
Dirty eggs spoil quicker than clean ones.
Feed lettuce-heads that are not good mot
too hard for table use to the chickens.
Wheat is an excellent egg producing food,
and will make young chickens grow rapidly.
Poultry allowed to run at large will de-
stroy many grasshoppers and fatten at the
same time.
Gull the brood as they grow mp if you
would attain high standard, and only those
who try to do this make success OF the
business.
1t is better to have one breed for eggs and
another for market than to try to produce
both in one and raise m0ngrel with no
good qualities.
To Kill lice on chickens take three parts of
carbolic acid and five parts of sweet oil. Put
two drops of this on the head of chicken
weighing two pounds and one drop on
smaller ones.
