vitality should not be exhausted by re-
sisting the cold, but preserved for the
production of eggs. A warm shed and
plenty of nOurishing and egg producing
food would, therefore, seem to be an
absolute necessity, if eggs are to be
furnished. But this is not the only ne
cessity birds as well as chickens are
very warm blooded animals. Their
blood is warmer than that of the COW
or the horse, and their circulation is
much more rapid. If anyone will test
this by noticing when handling them
the rapidity of their heart throbS, he
will be convinced on this point at
once. The frightened bird held in
the hand of it's captOr flutters at the
heart as we'll as with the wings. but
the ffutter at the heart is not entirely
due to fright, it tells of the rapidity of
the circulation necessary to keep up the
activity and warmth of the little ami
NAL. All this requires plenty of fresh
air and rapid breathing. Fresh air is.
therefore, as necessary for bird life and
chicken life as good food. They are
literally the fowls of the air.
Good ventilation is, therefore, as ne
cessary for the hen as any part of her
food. 1t is even more necessary because
without it she must become diseased,
whilst without sufficient food she may
cease laying and for a time draw upon
the fat she has laid uD in her body
Often close, warm pen for chickens
without sufficient ventilation, acts as
close, warm stove room without any
pure air from the outside does upon
children who sometimes, through mis-
taken Kindness, are thus cooped up;
they become dull and stupid and OF
such low vitality that they cannot en-
dure a sudden change of temperature
of a breeze of cool air without taking
cold" They become hot house plants,
tender and worthless for any strong
fibre of Drawn or brain, which can bear
the hard knocks of labor which they
must meet in life. The young animals
have been stinted and kept from proper
development through mistaken kind
ness. Air is life, or. at least. life food,
and we must have it or we die.
With all due respect for higher life it
must not be forgotten that plenty of
fresh air is necessary for the life and
health of a chicken, that it may per-
form all its proper functions and be
prepared to be a good egg producer
from a good, healthy body On the mild
days in winter, it should have a free
run and always plenty of fresh air,
and it will not take cold when a. breeze
a little cooler than usual happens to
blow upon it. The exercise of good
common sense, in housing and feeding
chickens in the winter when they are
dependent upon those who expect eggs
from Them will pay as well as if eX-
pended in almost any other way better
than talking politics.

great discoveries in recent years. and
do not go back to the Anticipated
remedies and connections that We're
used hundred years ago. 1t will not
do.
What you, reader, need to cure the
headaches. dizziness. tired. wOrn-out
and irritable feelings, constipation, and
bearing-down sensations is some
modern discovery based on scientific
truths that will strike at the root Of
the trouble. You are sick because
your kidneys and liver are out of
order, and you should at once see that
they are put in order. Yes" you say,
this is easy to assert but what shall
[ dO?" Take the best and most scien-
tifc discovery for these troubles you
can find. Ask any advanced scientist
what this is and he will tell you.
Warmers Safe Cure. This discovery
stands alone, by itself, and far above
all sO-called medicines of the past or
nOstrums of the present. In speaking
about it DR.. William Edward Robson,
of London, says:
I cOnScientiOuSly and emphatically
state that I have been able to give
more relief and effect more cures by
the use of Warmers Safe Cure than by
any other medicine attainable to the
profession" This is high praise, but
no higher than the subject deserves,
as you will readily ascertain upon
using this great, modern discovery.

SONG TO A SWEETHEART.

NV heart is a wave of the sea,
Sweetheart,
Forever seeking the shore;
Thai pillows and leaps
And curls and creeps,
But it beats its heart
In sad unrest,
'sSainst the rocks that stand
'rI'wixt the sea and the land,
Forever. and eve1more.
Sweetheart.
Forever and forevelmorei
HTv heart IS a far-off cloud,
Sweetheart,
r,saat longs for the western wind
To lie so light,
The long, sweet night,
Safe from the storm
IN His sheltering arm;
To be borne away
Where its never day,
on the heart of the western wind,
Sweetheart,
on the heart OF the warm west Windi
NV heart is an empty nest,
Sweetheart.
A bird that is far from its home;
A leaf in the storm,
An unsung song
And the wandering bird.
Leaf and song unheard,
Each yearns for its home
And makes its moan,
And my heart cries aloud for its own
Sweetheart.
Cries aloud for its ownl for its own
New York Sun.

Couldn't Fool the Old Man.

Chicago Post: Things had progressed
to a point where the young man had
been practically received into the family
circle. While he hadn't yet mustered up
sufficient courage to ask the old mans
consent. it was evident that he would
in time.
Thus it happened that the old man, who
liked nothing better than good game of
whist or euchre or hearts, invited him to
have little game one evening, and. OF
course, he didn't feel that it would be
policy to refuse.
You and mother said the old man,
referring to his wife, can play against
Martha and me- That will be fair, If
you and Martha sat opposite each other,
You would persist in looking into each
others eyes, to the great detriment of

together the old man felt good deal like
swearing on one or two occasions.
FINALLY, he made UP his mind that pa

Corn As Fuel.

Corn will not be used this year. to any
great extent, as fuel, for the markets
will give q fair price for all that the
farmers can spare. There has in the past
been such q diversity of opinion and so
little actual knowledge regarding the
DrOftableness of burning corn instead of
coal, that the University of Nebraska IN
deftook comparative test to show the
relative heating power OF the two mate
rails. Whether it would pay to raise corn
for fuel is q question not contemplated in
this investigation but the interests of a
large number of people living in the re-
gion of cheap corn call for the determina-
ton of its most profitable use after it is
upon the market.
TO make test. a good grade of yellow
dent corn, in the ear, of this year s crop,
and not thoroughly dry, was burned I'M
der the boiler used to supply power for
the department of practical mechanics,
and the amount of water eVapOrated by
the burning of a known quantity of corn
was noted. The test lasted nine and one
half hours, and 5,252 pounds of corn and
cob were consumed. The next day the
same boiler was heated with screened
Rock Springs nut coal for five hours,
burning 1.SSS pounds of coal, and the
amount of water evaDorated was re-
corded.
The data thus obtained shows that one
pound of coal eVdDOrated 1.9 times as
rlch water as one pound of corn In
I other words, 10 time as much heat was
liberated in burning one pound of coal as
in burning one pound of corn
Several calOrimeter tests were made,
which agreed very closely with these re-
suits
The coal used cost at Lincoln 1855 per
ton. With coal selling at this price, and
worth 10 times as much for fuel as an
ec1lal weight Of corn. the fuel value of
thu latter would be $3.50 per ton. or 1925
cents 9er bushel-
The following table shows how much
coal is worth per ton. when its heating
| power is the same as that used in the ex-
I pertinent. and when corn is selling at a
certain price per bushel:
Corn Coal
Per Blu. Per Ton.
