Poultry.

One hundred chickens which you
may raise this spring will weigh five
pounds each by October next, and
will make 500 pounds of the best
frest meat, surely worth as much to
eat or to sell as the 500 pounds of
pork. 1t is but little trouble to raise
the 100 chickens.
A flock of hens which has free run
to the corn cribs every day in the
year is sure to dwindle to the mini
mum in egg production. 1t will be
strictly in line with the modern way
of doing things to build a fence
about the crib or about the hens.
There is the same reason for feed
ing an egg producing ration as there
is Tor feeding for milk. 1t is too
seldom that the farmer thinks that
his hens may need something to eat {;
if they do need it, let them hunt for
it, is the thought.
The Russian sunflower is highly
valued by poultry raisers as an eX-
cellent and cheap food single heads
measure from II to 81 inches. Fowls
eat the seed greedily, fatten on it,
and the result is a bright plumage
and strong, healthy condition. 1t
can be raised much more cheaply
than corn, and is a better egg pro-
ducing food by far.
Why not give as much thought to
the matter of making the poultry
profitable as that of any other stock?
If eggs are our standby in the bust
ness, we will have each year many
fowls to dispose of, and we should
a u RI 60 20
them pay all the expenses of the
flock, leaving the eggs sold as clear
profit. t will pay better to sell our
eggs than to raise broilers, unless
we are close to a city market.

allow no other kind, but there was a
time when he equalled Berry Wall and
Freddy Gebhardt. He was handsome,
clever and rich. He set pace that
few could follow and that sent to the
grave long ere he went, the few foolish
young men who did go where he led.
Aspinwalrs grandfather was a mer-
chant prince of the ropolis-William
II. Aspinwall. The son of this man was
Gen. Lloyd Aspinwall, soldier and club
man, who left the spendthrift whose
death is now chronicled an immense
fortune fifteen years ago. The younger
Lloyd Aspinwall took to yachts, fast
horses, fancy drinks and handsome
women and the combination proved as
fatal TO him as to hundreds of others.
He was a favorite in society years ago
and married beautiful Cornelia Luton.
She left him ere long and died two
years ago. their daughter following her
within a few days. One cause of the
separation Of Aspinwall and his wife
was his fondness for Lillian Russell,
when she was a Casino favorite.
A single survivor with a memory of
youthful days called to see him on the
day of his death and that was his
brother.

The Advantage OF One Eye.

During the late Spanish-American
war a certain old colonel who had lost
an eye at the battle of Gettysburg was
very indignant because he was put
aside as physically incapacitated. when
he applied for admission TO one of the
New York volunteer regiments.
Filled with wrath and chagrin, the
Colonel journeyed to Washington, bent
on having a personal Interview with
the President. He succeeded in gaining
an audience, and the President, after
listening to his plea, said kindly:
But, my good Colonel j., you have

for several years served in Congress
as free soil member.
He was an unyielding foe of slavery.
In 1852 he was the free soil candidate
for vice president. When the Repub-
lican party was formed he Joined it
and in 1860 was sent to Congress. For
the next ten years he was prominent
political character In Washington, not
ed for his answering honesty, his
bluntness, his slight disposition to be
grabbed when opposed, but always hav-
ing his face set toward the right. He
served on the joint committee on the
conduct Of the war and for eight years
was chairman of the committee on
public lands. He was reelected to his
seat in Congress four times. The first
administration of Grant did not please
him, because he believed the Repub-
lican party was drifting away from its
original aims. In consequence he sup
ported Greeley in 1872, and after that
never really returned to the Republican
fold
