CHOOSING A LOCATION.
Some Points to BE Considered by
Farmers Who Intend to Go in
the Poultry Business.

In the location of poultry plant
there are at least two very important
items to be duly weighed, writes cor
respondent in Poultry Monthly. The
first is the selection of suitable neigh
borhood or vicinity, available to good
market. The second is securing the
right site in given eighborhood-th
site that will afford the fowls what they
require in the way of health and range
opportunities. Speaking generally, the
nearer a poultryman can get to his
adopted market where he disposes of
his fresh eggs, poultry. ETC., the better,
Tor obvious reasons. But, on the other
hand, it is best to keep out of the city
limits, as in small town or village
land is much cheaper, taxes are lower,
and there are less restrictions than in
a city. So get as near the city as you
can get without getting into it and have
an eye to good easy roads connecting
your plant with your market. Time is
money, and it is expensive driving ten
miles to market, when five are all that
should be necessary. Then as to site:
I would place highness and dryness as
of principal Importance. Cold is not
nearly so bad and unhealthy for fowls
as dampness, the fosterer of colds, lung
trouble and roup. Build your houses, if
possible, upon high and dry hills or
knobs, with sandy or gravelly soil and
free natural drainage.

TRADE IN OLD BOTTLES.
4 New York Firm That Handles Half
q Million Day, and u Famous
New Orleans Dealer,

Almost 100000 old bottles are handled
every day by single firm in New York
city. Most of them are wine and beer
bottles, but there are also hundreds of
bottles used for catsup and other table
sauces. The mineral waters furnish
large proportion of the fall number.
None of these bottles is washed or
cleaned by the firm that collects them,
but they must not be old and ''gummy"
or they will not be accepted. They are
shipped all over this country, and a
good many of them are sent back to Eu-
rope. Those reshipped across the wa
ter are mostly ginger ale bottles sent
to Ireland, some beer bottles or ale bot
ties sent to England, and wine and Ii
queur bottles sent to France. OF course
these are reemployed. The dealers here
say that the French bottles are the best
made. The English come next, the
American next, and then the German.
Comparatively few bottles are lost in
transit, either on board cars or in the
collecting wagons. When wagon is
loaded with cases of "empties" the
driver puts straw wrapper on each OF
the corner bottles at the end Of the
wagon. It doesn't seem as if this would
be a very great protection, but it does
serve as a slight buffer in case of pass
ing rubs or knocks.
The bottle shops of New York are not
especially picturesque, but in New Or
leans there is one which has become
noted. 1t is visited by most tourists,
many of whom carry away some squat,
queer-shaped liqueur bottle by way of
souvenir. "The Bottle Man of Cont
Street, owes his fame to Mrs, M. z. NJ.
Davis, one of New Orleans literary
women. Mrs. Davis lives only block
or two from the haunt of the bottle
man, over in the old French part of the
city.
When Eugene Field visited there sew
eral years ago Mrs. Davis took him
around to Cont street to see the bottle
man and his treasures. Field and the
bottle man were mutually delighted
over the meeting. The shop is a great
high sort of shed, reaching from the
street back $50 feet into the block. 1t
is piled with stack on stack of crates
full of empty wine bottles, which from
the ceiling hang rows of dusty demi-
johns and jugs. There are shelves occu-
pied by medley of quaint cordial bot
ties, bright green and blue, pot-bellied,
flat-sided, eccentric, freakish things.
Field delighted in these shelves, and
used to poke around in the dust and the
shadows, hunting up new shapes, which
he carried off to add to the miscellane.
Gus lot Of stuff he shipped home from
there. But there was one bottle with
which he was especially delighted. It
was brilliant blue in color, with a very
long, thin neck and fat body, pressed
into foursided shape. In the middle
of one side was seal, stamped in the
glass. Every visitor in Cont street now
adays hears about Fields visits, and is
permitted to gaze upon-or purchase
one of the Field bottles. After his re.
turn to Chicago Mrs. Davis wrote the
poem: '"The Bottle Man Of Cont
Street." and sent it to him. Field re.
piled in. his usual happy vein, and these
autograph verses are among Mrs. Davis
treasures to-day.-N. Y. Sun.

PRESERVE THE BIRDS.
A Movement That should Receive the
Earnest Support of Every
American Farmer.

The destruction of the birds has be-
come so serious matter that many OF
the most thoughtful minds of the coun-
try have anxiously considered means
by which this wanton slaughter may be
stayed. We have the testimony of the
leading scientists of the United States
to show that unless the killing OF birds
soon ceases, only very brief time Will
elapse before the feathered tribe will
become extinct. In such event the evil
consequences to our agricultural inter-
ests are past all computation. The de-
struction of our crops by myriads OF in
sects will be as disastrous as was the
fearful famine which has just devas-
tated India.
To avert such calamity various plans
have been devised. Among the states
men who have become interested in this
matter are Hon. George F. Hoar, sena-
tor from Massachusetts, and Hon. John
F. Lacey, representative from Iowa,
both of whom have introduced bills in
congress relating to the question. Mr..
Hoar's bill provides restrictions
upon the importations of the bodies or
plumage of certain birds; and upon
the transportation of the same between
the several states. Exception is made in
the case of the ostrich, and some other
birds whose plumage can be taken with
out loss of life. Senator Hoar's bill has
passed the senate and now goes to the
house. This bill is numbered "Senate
4124."
Mr.. Lacey's (house) bill provides for
extending the powers and duties of the
commission of fish and fisheries so as to
include game birds and other wild
birds useful to man, "by the propaga-
ton, distribution, transportation, in
PRODUCTION and restoration" of such
birds. If you are a friend to the birds
and to the agricultural interests of your
country we request that you write, at
the very earliest moment, to members
of congress asking them to vote for
these bills. Among: the members whose
influence is most necessary are:
Thomas B. Reed (speaker), j. w. Bailey,
Benton Mcmillan, j. E. Richardson,
Richard P. Bland, Jerry Simpson, S. E.
Payne, house of representatives, Wash
ington.
Please write to the above (and to any
others whose names may occur to you),
asking them to work and vote for these
bills when they come up for considera-
ton.
All friends of the birds are requested
to give these suggestions their immedi-
ate attention.. Names of congressman
from the several states, literature relat-
ing to the subject, suggestions concern
ing the formation of clubs, and other
matters of interest to bird-lovers, may
be obtained by writing to Horace H.
Waters, 357 West Van Buren, street,
Chicago.

Pleased with the Country.

Chinook, Mont, June 22-Prof. S. NJ.
Emery and Doctors Wilcox and Trephagen,
Of the Stats Experimental Station, have
just concluded three days institute. The
attendance of farmers was ell that could
be desired. The visitors had a good oppor-
tunity to look over our section, and While
its future previous to the present Visit, he
is more than enthusiastic now over its pos
sibilties. He counted not to exceed twenty
houses in one locality where he maintained
two hundred should be. Referring to the
subject of sugar beet culture, he made the
statement during his lecture that nowhere
in the state Of Montana did he find every
indication more favorable for it's success
full culture than in the Milk River valley;
that we he'd every requisite, viz: Land,
water and climate. After the session your
correspondent called his attention to that
statement, and asked for permission to
SO quote him in making up report for
publication. He replied: YES, sir; and
mean every word of it,

WEARY, TRAMP1NG FEET.
The Care of These Useful Members
Is Most Important to the
Soldier.

In the German army the soldier who
allows his feet to get sore is punished
by those in authority for his culpable
negligence in not attending properly to
those useful members. Much of the
strength and duration of the warrior
of to-day lie in his feet. In helping the
soldier boy to prepare for his marching
experience in Cuba mothers and wives
may we'll bring their ingenuity to bear
on this question, which will be vital
one after few days. In preparing the
outfit see that the socks are all in good
condition, for even the truest "darn"
or hole may easily rub a raw sore on
the foot, and an uncared-for heel will
make soldier as vulnerable to disaster
as was Achilles.
Do not let him buy colored socks
unbleached balbriggan will keep his
feet in much better condition. Per-
suade him to buy his boots close in the
heel and broad in the toe, and do not
forget pair of pliable, cool, skin slip
pers, made like bags, to rest his feet in
after the days march.
IL the 1eel are lncnneQ 10 DE tender

ing, if possible, in cold water, well i'm
pregnated with witch hazel or listerine.
Fill tiny porcelain jar having a screw
top with cold cream mixed with witch
hazel or camphor ice and tuck it into
the comfort-bag, with instructions to
use it at night on the feet sore and
strained from the days march. If the
feet are at all irritated the sensitive
spots should be poulticed for night
or two before leaving home. A little
flaXseed or starch poultice tied on at
night will draw the Inflammation our
of the Redeemed joints. Soldiers should
not cut their toenails at the corners, but
square across, SO as to avoid all danger
of their growing in. Hard corns should
be skillfully cut.
The examining surgeons at the state
camps have been paying special atten-
ton to the feet of the men, and anyone
who had feet that were already affected
with inflammation was promptly re-
jected.-N. Y. Tribune.

Breed the Cows mt Home,

1t is always best wherever possible to
breed cows on the same farm where
they are to be kept. The COW is very
home-loving animal, and if taken from
old associations it will neither eat so
heartily nor give so much milk as it
would if kept where it was grown. We
have seen cows walk uneasily around
the field as if looking for place to
get out for days, and until the grass in
the path they made was entirely de-
stroyed. Of course such cows cannot
be profitable mixers. After COW has
had one calf in her new home it seems
more homelike to her, and if she is
where she can see it and sometimes be
with it she will be less disconnected, ex-
cept for the first few weeks, while she
is mainly anxious to be with her calf

middle ones run in on the sill, extend
ing over the sill about two inches. A
cross piece made of 2x4-inch good tim
Der runs underneath the stills and is
firmly fastened to the short arms by
an iron clip or staple made of ZIG or
one-half-inch rod iron, running over top
of short arm down each side of sill and
extending through 2x4 piece under
meath. The long arms are also fastened
with clips same as short one. The cross
pieces at bottom of stills at each end
need be only one inch thick. The short
arms only need braces. The rack has
the advantage of not having cross-arms
in the way. Make front end about a
foot narrower than rear end, for con-
venience in turning. In the cut the side
boards resting on the arms are omitted
to show construction better. The cut
shows only one set of middle cross
arms. There should be two sets.-S. 3.

A WOMAN'S REVENGE.
She Was a Great Schemer and Treated
Her Husbands Guests to
Ravhide Soup.

One of the most prominent figures on
the supreme bench of Louisiana in ante
bellum days was a certain Judge B.,
whose locale was the parish of St. Ian
dry. The judge was man of old-school
elegance; his wife was one Of the most
brilliant women of her day in the state.
Their St. Landry home was noted for
the elegance of it's appointm ents no less
than for the grandeur of it's hospitality.
Their entertainments We're noted
throughout the countryside. More than
one white-haired man prominent in lat
ter-day Louisiana politics can tell you
that he proposed to his wife at ball
at Judge BIS, and if you should care
to know the wife can describe the ele-
giant gowns all the ladies, and partic-
ularly Mrs. B., wore on that occa-
sion. These would make pleasant sto-
res. I am to tell you one of another
sort.
Upon certain occasion Judge B.
gave dinner to the bar of St. Landry.
When the guests arrived they found
everything awaiting their reception. In
the drawing-room a bright wood fire
glowed behind polished brasses; waxen
tapers cleaned from silver candelabra
to be multiplied and reflected gain and
again from surrounding mirrors. The
judge greeted them with his usual mag
nificent courtesy of manner, while his
wife, attired in trailing gown of black
velvet and rare old lace, with diamonds
sparkling from her throat and her
hands, seemed more than ever brilliant,
beautiful and gracious. When present
ly slave held the door open and ush-
cred their guests into the dining hall
the elegance of the occasion seemed
complete. Snowiest linen, frailest CHI
ma, brightest crystal, most polished
silver, adorned the board. With that
rare grace which was at all times her
distinguishing charm Mrs. B dished
the soup from the steaming silver urn,
her brilliant wit and clever repartee
scintillating the while. AS each guest
was served his glance fell upon plate
of paiest amber liquid, with tiny, indis-
tinguishable bits of something floating
therein.
Finally the hostess lifted her spoon,
and with graceful wave of her hand
gave the signal to begin. There was a
smile upon her parted lips as she said:
"Gentlemen, 1 have prepared a new
soup for your delectation to-day.
trustit may please your palates. Should
you like the recipe, can tell you it is
made from the cowhide with which
Judge B whipped me this morning."

GLAD SHE DIDN'T YELL.
When She Found Out That Her Indus..

hitting Suicide.

A certain East end man delights in doing
odd jobs about his home. He cuts his grass
and trims the walks, and handles paint
brush like an old master. Carpenter tools
come handy to him, too, and the sound of his
merry saw makes pleasant music for the
neighbors, who have no objection to being
awakened early. In short, he is clever all
have about the house.
One day not long ago the woman of the
house next door happened to come out on her
back porch. There she casually looked over
the low fence into the handy mans yard!
What she saw scared her so that she couldn't
move hand or foot. The handy man was ly-
ing prone on his back, his body concealed
beneath his porch, but with his face in strong
relief. lie was very pale, his hair was dis
ordered, and his eyes were rolled up and
fixed in CHASTITY intentness. Against his
breast he seemed to be pressing some deadly
weapon that glistened as ray Of light
touched it.
The woman on the porch tried to scream,
and couldn't. She knew the handy man was
committing suicide.

About this. time the woman on the porch

that the hired girl was on hand to watch

Then the woman on the porch was glad she

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Pollen stored in hives is known as
bee bread.
Nothing irritates bees so much as a
sudden jar.
The farmer needs bees to fertilize his
fruit and clover.
Comb foundation in the brood nest
is most valuable.
When water is not convenient it
should be supplied.
In attempting to move bees be sure
that every exit is closed.
Bees need the most attention during
the spring and early summer.
The queen is much larger and slim
mer than the drones or workers.
A bee flies in direct line, and will
not fly up or down to come into your
face.
Of all sources from which bees de-
rive their support the clover is the most
important.
Contract the space in the hives to suit
the size of the colony, especially if the
colony is weak.
BY keeping the entrances to the hives
contracted in the early spring robbing
may be largely prevented.
Drone comb should never be used to
hive new swarms upon, especially if
surplus is the main purpose.
In case queen is killed or removed
from the hive, the bees will build a
queen cell about worker larva and
thus hasten the advent of queen.
The drones are the male bees and are
not SO long as the queens, but are stout
er and more robust than either the
queen or the workers.-St. Louis Re-
,,y1blic

THE SCENE at Union station when

THE SCENE at Union station when
the First battery left for the south.
awakened in many OF those present
memories OF the days of the civil war.
Mingled with those who witnessed such
stirring scenes fer the first time, were
veterans of the war. The former
listened eagerly, while the latter
rcveled in "reminiscences, as they waited
for the train that brought the boys
from the barracks.
In the crowd was Maj. Harvey Sal
mon, of Clinton. Mo. Friends were
gathered around him. Strangers, jos
tied by the surging mass Of people,
pricked their ears to hear war stories.

of the war;" Maj. Salmon was heard to
say. Eve Missouri boys who wanted
to join the confederate army went in a
very different way from what our brave
lads are going to-day. We had to steal
our way through the lines IN the dead
