COMBINED POULTRY AND DAIRY.

Prof. John A. Myers, director of the
West Virginia Experiment Station,
writes:
1T we combine the dairy and poul.
Ery business we make a most happy
union, and I have often wondered that
our dairymen do not place more en-
phasis upon poultry as a source of in

The poultry business requires no
large amount Of capital, and labor

caring for it. The eame families that
take the dairy products will be only
too glad to get the poultry supplies, 90
that there is no additional o in

When the pigs r about two weeks
old they will require some supplamer-
tary feed other than their dams milk.
The very best way to supply this is in
a trough to which none but the little
pigs can go. Feed that can be eaten
quickly and is a heterogeneous nature
should be given.

story Of an experience that was more

the rest Of his clothing, was near
enough to pass muster. But, alas! the
waistcoat was a mile too big.
He found a sympathetic housemaid
who took up a large pleat at the back
Of the waistcoat, and fastened It se.
curely with pins. Dinner over, the
party drove to the meeting, where the
parliamentary candidate was to make
the principal speech. The candidate
had been speaking ten minutes, and
had warmed to his work. when sud.
denly he felt pin give way, and then
another and another. Slowly the Dor.

wearer appeared In all the capacious
bulk Of the true owner.
Luckily the main body Of the audi.

a distressing litter was heard among
the ladies in front. The best comment
came from Il gentleman who greeted
the speaker after the meeting.
'Public speaking evidently agrees
with you. sir" he said, In q compli.
mentary tone, "for when you sat down
you were twice the man you were when

A VICTORY FOR THE CzEGHS
Austrian Premier Shows Strong
Signs of Weakening.
THE LANGUAGE QUESTION
For Bohemia Agreeable 10 the BeIligereuts But
Germans May Oppose lt-Kossuth
Still Wants independence.

Vienna, Dec. 6.-The Neue Freie Presse
says the negotiations of the Austrian
premier, Baron Won Gautsch Won
Frankenthurn, with the varied part,ss
are progressing towards an arrange
ment of the language questions. The
young Czechs, III appears, are willing to
agree ito division of Bohemia into three
languages, Wv: Czech, German and
mixed. The premier made a proposition
on this basis to the German parties.
The greatest difficulty 1t is addsd is
fourd in the fact that the Czechs insist
that the officials throughout Bohemia
must speak both languages. To this
the Germans are opposed.
1t is officially stated that since the be-
ginning of the disorders at Prague there
have been 600 arrests, 800 people injured
by the swords of the police and troops
ard sixty policemen and twenty soldiers
injured by the stones of the mob.
1t is understood ithstt The German lead
ers in thu reichsrath will unanimously
reject all proposals made by the govern-
ment. This was foressen by Hungary
and therefore Baron Banffy, the Hungar-
ian PREMIER, introduced today in the
Hungarian parliament the bill prolong-
ing The angelch for year without ref r.
Aus TIA.
Probably THE Hungarian independ mt
palIty led by Herr Francis KosSsuih, will
fiencely ohGtruct the BILL as h. wishes to
force a declaration of Independence.

WHAT is LIFE

"What Is life?" This question has

"Cut a piece -of protop asm into number
of pieces and each piece will still be
alive" thus proving THAI the germs OF
life exis. in even the m1nutest particle OF
the body.
But he goes farther and says that he
believes mind is life and that mind Is
present in every particle of the body.
This is new, startling, WONDERFUL
theory and 1T may lead to a revolution
