A Waterloo Baby.
CFrom CornhilI.l

Years ago an English lady paid visit
to the island of Mauritius. She was in
troduced to a lady of great beauty and
commanding appearance, who ordered ev-
cry one about and whose features wero
Enthusiastically Spanish. Who was this lady?
An infont picked up on the field OF Wa
terloo from behind a wagon after the
battle. Her parents were known TO God
alone. She was found by an ensign.
Heiliger by name, an officer IN the Kings
German legion. He placed her under The
care of a soldiers wife, paying for her
support. and as she grew up, seeing how
beautiful and talented she promised to be,
had her educated and finally married her.
as Dick Swiveller did the Marchioness.
He held in his later days an appointment
in the Mauritius, and here follows the
extraordinary pendant to this romantic
tale:
The great-granddaughter OF the Water
loo "waIf and stray (they marry very
early in those tropical clifnes) was the
wife Of Baron de Lesseps, the originator
of the SueZ and the unfortunate designer
of the Panama canal At the age OF sew
enteen she fell in love with the Baron,
then above seventy, and proposed to him.
according to the custom of the Maurltius,
by a floral offering. The old baron was
so amazed that he declared that she must
intend the offering for his son, wh0 was
with him. mon, monsieur, cest a vous."
The poor baron was in a state OF fmbecIl
ity at the time OF the Panama scandals,
when his son and others went to jail.
1t is to be hoped that the great grand
daughter of the Waterloo baby was a
loving and faithful nurse in his infirmities
OF mind, body, and estate.

UuIuckv Chipe.e Reformer.

China. Kang Yu Wei tried to reform the
government OF that country, but the en-

reform she has now issued orders Sor

great favor with the emperor-that same
young man whose existence has been in
doubt for a year. He persuaded the king
Of Heaven that China could preserve its.
integrity only by introducing Occidental
methods, and he pointed TO Japan as an
example Of what might be achieved by
these means. The proposal 90 break down
the wall Of prejudice, superstition, and
isolation that had surrounded China for
centuries aroused the opposition OF every

Help the Hens.

Something from nothing you can't
take. Most of us are beginning to real
ize the truth of this trite saying in re-
gard to most things about us. 1t is a
poor farmer who does not realize that
he cannot take the grain from the
fields year after year returning moth
ing to them without some time, soon
er or later, getting to the end of his
string and finding his land run down
and bankrupt. But some poultrymen
have not discovered that the same
principle holds good in regard to hens.
You can't get something from nothing
there, either. If your hens are to
lay eggs, they must have something
TO work with; they must get egg
forming elements from some source
or other. III recent years the practi-
cal poultryman has been able to dou-
BILE his egg supply in the winter by
careful study Of producing foods.
Prominent among these must be plac-
ed green cutbone. Il food that is easily
and cheaply obtained and that is I'M
tlOuhtedly the greatest egg-prOducer
ever fed to hens The bone, when
finely cut, while it is still green. sup
plies that element Of animal food so
needed and relished by fowls, taking
the place OF the bugs and worms

which the hens devour SO greedily
upon the range. Moreover, the bone
supplies the mineral matter needed
for egg formation, the lime, the phos-
plate, the magnesia, and is, in short,
an ideal egg food. When we consider
how cheaply the bones can be procul
ed and how little trouble it is to pre-
pare them for the fowls, it is difficult
to understand why any pOultryman

Poultry Notes.

II one wants turkeys to fatten very
fast the following will be found an
excellent ration: Boil potatoes until
soft and mash them fine. then add an
equal quantity of cornmeal and buck
wheat. The latter may sometimes
seem expensive. but often a lot can
\ be obtained which is not good enough
for -four, but will answer for this
use. This should be fed three or four
times a day, warm when possible, and
they will show the effects of it quick
ly.
Fowls which are confined in coops
often need tonic and one called the
douglas Mixture" will be found Just
te thing: 8 ounces of cOpperas, 10
huid ounce of sulphuric acid in gal
lon of water. The copepras should be
put in the water first, and when it
has dissolved add the acid. In a flock
of fifty fowls, half pint in the drink
ing water every day is about right if
there Is OlSotSo among luoM; III not,
that amount three times a week or i
small quantity every day can be used
1t has antiseptic qualities which make
it fine for such use, and is an excellent
tonic. / do not know whether it is
used for any fowls except hens or not
Those who are troubled with tur-
keys going away from home to rOOst,
ought to begin when they are young,
giving them a good feed of corn the
last thing before night they will get
in the habit of waiting for it and it
will then be too late for them to go
far away to rOOSt.
Ground bone is excellent for fowls
and has quite an effect on their laying
An analysis of the green bone shows
the ingredients to be those which will
form the almost complete parts of an
egg. The lean meat and gristle form
the white of the egg, also a small part
of the yOlk, the fat and marrow fur
niSh the remainder of the yOlk and the
lime contained in the bone provides
the lime salts necessary for the shell
These bones can be purchased at
small cost and with a bone cutter can
be easily prepared for the foWls.-EX.

Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes

One of the first stumbling blocks of
the beginner is the question what
breed to choose. After he has built
his houses and planned fine plant,
he is in doubt which breeds to start
with. OF course there are a few VINO
go into the business of breeding poul-
try because they are fond of certain
variety. There are many more who
go into It to raise chickens and try to
make a little money out of them.
These latter breeders or wOuld-be
breeders, deserve more advice than
the former. They are apt to invest
money earned in another pursuit; it
is usually a venture in which they eX-
pect to do WE'LL and hence mistakes
and experiments are expensive. Per-
sonally. | consider the choice of ~
breed very important. There are but
few Of the hundred odd varieties Of
fowls that are profitable to keep. If
man expects to derive a profit from
his investment he certainly wants
money-making breeds. He wants
about all he can get out of one breed,
which means boths eggs and meat. 1t
is therefore necessary that he select a
breed which combines the most quail
ties.
l have experimental with a great
many breeds, and | think l have tested
their earning qualities as thoroughly
as any other breeder. In fact | have
