Farm Poultry.

l am extending my poultry business
each year, for I find that no live stock
kept on the farm gives such good re-
turns for food and care, or so large a
profit. [ am now feeding 100 hens
and 1875 young ducks and chickens,
about half of each, and my hens are
laying enough eggs to pay for the
feed of the entire lot, and leave net
profit of over one dollar a week on
eggs alone; while the growth of my
young poultry will amount to three
er year, when [ shall keep considera-
bly, more poultry than now, to keep
an exact account and find out the cost
of keeping, but as yet [ have not
weighed the chicken feed Or kept it
separate from the food for other
stock; but at the present prices
for the cost of feeding all that [
have is not far from dollar a week.
[ buy ground corn at 70 cents per
uuluI0ur pOuuuS, S1Ou1Ao OoO0 ctAAO
middlings at the same, bran at so
cents and corn at 80 cents per bushel
of Sc pounds shelled. I also feed usu-
ally once a day on wheat screenings,
which I buy at So per ton. [ live con-
venient to two roller mills, and L
watch. and when [ find them over
stocked with screenings of a good
quality [ buy a ton or two at once.
I also lay in a years supply of bran
each summer at the time when it is
cheap, and I rarely pay more than SIP
per ton, and this year can buy at $40.

 The buildings are generally brick, that occupied by Merchant Owens cov- ering 33x65 feet. Cottages are being built and parties owning town property will erect business structures in the ! spring. Were all the business houses placed together closely much better effect would be made.

NOT One JUROR EXCUSED
Every Man Summoned for the Grand
Inquest Had to Serve.
Only Two Regarded Themselves as
Probably Disqualified Found
That They Were Not Barred.

remarkable fact developed Yesterday
upon the qualification Of the new grand
jury, which will serve for the next three
months. The grand jury consists Of TWEEN
tythree men. and when their names were
called yesterday mornin. not one was
absent and all had been personally served
The preliminary examination did not re-
suit in the excuse OF single juror, and the
final inquiry as to exemption from service
did not cause the discharge OF any one Of
them.
AT a late hour yesterday morning a
further change among the service of the
judges resulted in Judge Bradley taking
the bench in criminal court No and
Chief Justice Bingham assuming the duties
of criminal court No. l. It, therefore,
devoIved upon the latter to examine and
swear in the grand jury. Never before has
this passed without some one being dis
charged or excused
Clarence F. Norment, OF the Central Ma
tional Bank endeavored 70 be excused, ex-
planning that he would be obliged % attend
the monetary conference at Indianapolis.
After consultation with District At
torney Birney il was decided that Mr. Nor
ment must serve. but might De excused for
the time Necessary 70 attend the confer
ence.
Justice Bingham then selected the bank
Official as foreman, but he successfully
maintained an objection and Percy NJ.
King, a paperhanger, OF No. Is43 Sew
enth street, was chosen foreman and so
qualified.
But two men thought there might be
SOrGe reason why they should not serve
One was living temporarily at Falls Church,
but as he had resided in the District twenty
five years, and would return after the
4th Of March, he was accepted. The other
had been convicted in the police court Of
illegally selling whisky, but ne did not
come within the law against Infamous
crimes, and he, too, was sworn in as
grand juror.
Chief Justice Bingham explained 70 the
jurors their duties and their Obligations.
They were strictly enjoined against tell
ing anything as TO what transpired among
themselves or in the grand jury room
The court cautioned the members against
ever divulging any OF the secrets Of their
Investigations 1T must be as a sealed
took to you he said, land is TO be re-
gartied as much after your service has
ended as before
Justice Bingham informed the jury that
the law did not require then. 70 visit the
direction OF the court. The proceedings

FISH COMMISSION REPORT
Ninety-three Million Shad Fry
Planted in Eastern Streams.
Large Saving in the Expense of
Salmon Hatching on
Pacific Coast.

The annual report to the President of
John j. Brice, Commissioner OF Fish and
Fisheries, indicates how important the
work OF his office has become.
No less than As, 600 900 shsd eggs were
collected and from these 93,00O,0OO fry
were planted in streams emptying into the
Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf OF Mexico.
The increase in shad eggs collected was
3O,O00,O0O over the previous year, and IL
a bill now before Congress is enacted into
law auxiliary stations will be established
on most OF the important rivers OF the At
lantic coast and result in an immense in
Cleasc in the output OF ths species.
The put Of lobster fry was 81 900 900,
against 72, ,O60 600 for the previous year,
and Commissioned Brice says there is little
doubt that the output in another year will
be increased more than 100 per cent.
While the attempt to keep up the con-
stantly decreasing supply Of mackerel along
the New England coast was more or less
experimental, 24,O00,O0O eggs were col
lected. Thirty-one million taut of clam
eggs were collected in Buzzard's Bay and
1900, 900 fry were liberated from them
According to the report great increases
In the results at large saving Of expense
were accomplished with reference TO the
salmon batching on the Pacific coast.
Temporary stations were established on
the Salmon and Little White Saimon rivers,
both tributaries of the Columbia, to be
operated in connection with the permanent
station at Clackamas, Greg.
While the cost of eggs per thousand at
the Clackamas station had been S1.s1, they
nj n,4r
thousand at the Salmon River auxiliary,
and at the rate OF IL cents a thousand at
the Battle Creek auxiliary station. The
total take OF 37,OoO,OOO salmon eggs
amounted to three times as many as were
ever collected before in the United States
in any one season.
1t is proposed TO extend over the entire
country permanent aud economical sys-
tenn or maintaining the commercial fish
cries by grouping about the central hatch
cries auxiliary eEg-collecting stations to
be operated only during the spawning
season.
Another effort will be made TO Introduce
Pacific salmon in Eastern waters. To ac-
cOmplish this 100000 eggs will be trans
ferred from the California stations TO sta
tionsin y ew York, Vermont, and Maine, and
the fry liberated in the Penobscot, Kenne-
bee, Merrimac, Hudson, Delaware, and
Susquehanna Rivers.
Attention has also been paid TO increas-
ing the output OF Atlantic and land-locked
salmon at the Maine stations, and indica-
tions point to a large increase over
previous years.
Lake trout eggs collected VIII aggregate
1S,00O,000 or 0,000, 900. The cod work
will surpass all previous seasons, and 225,-
100000 eggs are expected. Eastern oysters
and Holsters were planted in California and
Oregon waters in October, and diamond
back terTapin i'll San Francisco Bay. Eggs
of the steelhead trout, a California game
fish, have been planted in streams tributary
to Lakes Superior and Huron, and the
Penobscot River.

instructions $ Issued.

'Only very few cases reported were
found to be able to pay their physicians.
The authorities at the hospital seem to
think that the mere fact that applicants
are to be investigated tias had the effect
of keeping away many W no are in posi-
ton to pay.
The report intimates that other such in
stitutions viii seek tire assistance of the
Associated Charities with similar purpose.
So much value is placed on the co-opera-
ton of friendly visitors by the board of
managers, that instructions were issued
yesterday, which they Will receive this
morning. The instructions are in leaflet
form from which the following extract Will
be of public interest:
You should try to make vital connec-
ton between your poor friends and such
agencies as the free kindergartens, the
cooking school and the stamp savings
Though you must not, of course, impose
your own religious views upon the family,
you should strive to restore or establish
church relations. Urge the attendance
upon the services of the church and Sun
day school to which the family naturally
belongs

DR.. w. X. Van Reypen was unanimously
elected a member Of the board. Miss
SpoffoId, chairman Of organization in
divisions, reported that the work had
been organized in alleof the districts A
great deal of valuable assistance is rem
dered to the charities by the friendly
custom for these visitors to meet the dis
trict paid agent at stated times and
talk over the affairs of the districts.
Three OF such conferences have already
been held, one OF them yesterday at the
office Of Miss Rochefort., agent in the
southeast. Mrs. Babson was present at this
conference and reported the work and plans
to be well in hand. 1t is evident fromthis
method that with a number OF earnest
visitors no case of emergency or extreme
distress can escape the notice of the central
body.
The board discussed the proposition to
cooperate with the central relief COM
mittee in the matter OF distribution OF
funds and supplies, and the chairman
was authorized to appoint q committee Of
three for such cooperation. Mr.. Janney
will appoint this committee later.

animation, Mr. Wilson saws. ...-s...
I'VE received the first list OF applicants

TRADE WITH MARTINIQUE.
Consul Tucker Hopes American
Firms VIII Work 1t Up.

The erroneous impression in American
mercantile circles that catalogues printed
in the English language Will help the sale
of goods in Martinique leads Consul Tucker,
who represents the United States in that
island TO inform the State Department.
that French alone is spoken and read there
and he suggests that trade catalogues and

create a market in certain lines at this
time.

manufacturers.
He has also had a number Of inquiries
regarding carriages. bUsgies. and wagons
by woGld-be purchasers and an opening
for business in stationery is also pointed
out. The consul hopes American concerns
will seize the opportunity ne offers fOI
building up a profitable trade.
