FEEDING IN YARDS.
~ Birds In Connnement Need Dinerent
Rations from Those Having
Free Woodland Run.

Poultry in confinement must be fed
differently from those which have a
free run Of grass or wood dland, in which
latter they reyel, hunting over all the
leaves, and scratching away, around
and under old logs for their favorite
grubs and bugs. If you have not made.
it q business to watch your chicks and
hens carefully, you do not realize what
large amount Of grass and green food
they will eat in day when it is at hand
and when they have not, been overfed
with grain or scraps. Fowls need
coarse food or something that gives
bulk as well as nutriment. Even though
you feed the confined birds the same
Identical food they obtained for them,
selves sci on g good run it would not be
the same, as they cannot select for
themselves and they would still lack
the exercise so necessary for their.
health, and, therefore, in confinement
the same food would be too much for
them. M This is why successful raisers
OF poultry in confinement always throw
the grain to their fowls in straw, thus
compelling them to work for it. Exer-.
else IS necessary for their health, but
II the food is composed more Of nj
trogenous elements and less of the car

fats) there would not be so many dis
eases to confront. There are people
who pamper their chickens, both old
and an o. young. Corn is useful in the poul-
try business, as lard or bacon is in the
kitchen, but not as regular diet. If

and needs a richer food, corn is excel.
lent, but should not be given almost
exclusively, especially when fowls are
confined. It is not difficult to incur a
serious loss, where good number of
fowls are kept, by injudicious feeding.
All kinds should have suficiency Of
food without being overfed. If the birds
are kept in state of semi-starvation
the hens lay but few eggs, and those
intended for killing become so attenu-
ated that very considerable outlay is
necessary before they can be brought
into proper condition for the table, and
will lack tenderness and delicacy. To
feed feed too literally is wasteful, and in the
case Of laying hens decidedly objections
able; for a hen when it becomes very
fat ceases to produce up to the average,
and is subject to various ailments. Full
grown fowls should have just as much
as they will readily eat and no more.
Barley, either in whole or in ground
state, is fairly economical used either
alone or in combination with other
food. Oats and oatmeal are of espe-
cial value for fattening for the table.
Pieces of bread and vegetables Of all
kinds q ID may be utilized, and scraps of
meat chopped up rather small are Of
great value in feeding fowls shut up

to obtain worms and insects. Potatoes

Some Advice to Shippers.

Don't fail carefully to inspect your

ance and frequently aloss. Don't chase
off into a new market with untried peo-

THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE.
National Organization to Rails
Funds for the Project.

meeting was held last evening in the
reception room of the Hotel Dewey. in L

tional organization 10 solicit subscriptions
for the construction Of a memorial bridge
across the Potomac River. TO connect the
Capital with the National Cemetery at
Arlington. Hon. Daniel X. Trimmer, Of
York. Pa. was elected temporary chair
man, and James f. Clements, formerly
Commemorative Attorney of Alexandria
county, Va. was chosen temporary secre-
tary.
In taking the chair. Mr. Trimmer said
he believed that from the love the Union
bears Washington, and because of the
sacred memories surrounding Arlington.
each State would contribute literally a
fund for the erection of this memorial
bridge. George p. Robinson said he
favored permanent chartered organiza-
ton, with headquarters In this city. and
branch in every State and Territory in
the Union
W. s. Mexican, of Washington, expressed
himself as being heartily in favor of such
q movement He said that If some public
spirited man Of national reputation were
elected president OF the association with
vice president from each State, the peo-
pie of this country would rejoice at the
opportunity 10 contribute TO this grand
project.
Mr. Clements favored national organi-
cation to accept contributions from indi-
viduals and the different States and Terri
tories. He said the people were now TAX
ing up subscription TO build In Paris, in
1900. monument 10 Lafayette, and be be-
lieyed that they would be equally willing
10 contribute TO the erection Of a memo
rial bridge or approach to Arlington,
where are buried so many Of the nation S
dead. He felt that it was the duty Of Con-
gress 10 build this bridge, but Congress had
had the subject before il for over ten years,
and while the measure had some able advo-
Gates in that distinguished body, it seemed
they could not agree on the subject.
On motion it was then agreed to form q
National Memorial Bridge Association, and
the following committees were appointed
with instructions to report at the next
meeting:
Committee on constitution and bylaws
Former United States Senator John b
Henderson, of Missouri; Hon. Frank Hume

THE MERR1cK MEDAL DEBATE
Annual OrntOriaI Contest Mt the
Georgetown tniycrsity

The annual debate for the Merrick
medal by members of the Philodemic So
ciety of the Georgetown University oc-
CURED last evening in CASTOR Hall, the
assembly room of that institution The
yearly contests for this medal are looked
forward TO with deep interest by members
OF the society, and aside from their lit
erary features the debates are numbered
among the social events OF the college dur
ing the Season.
The exercises last evening were no diff
ferent from those which have taken place
in previous years, except that the audience
was larger and the entertainment more
interesting than in past years. The subject
chosen for discussion is the question of
the hOur-eXpansion-and il was debated
in highly interesting manner. The
speakers on either side advanced many
arguments in support of the positions they
took, and were the recipients OF many fla
vors from the audience, but If popular ap-
plause IS an evidence of sentiment and
opinion, then it is safe to say that a great
majority of those present were ardent ex-
pansionists.
The exercises were presided over by
Thomas J. O'Neill, of the class of 80, and
President OF the Philodemc Society
who, after stating that the result of the
contest would be announced on commence
ment day, in June, announced the subject
for debate:
Question, Resolved, That the Policy OF
Territorial Expansion, As it Is Now Being
Advanced, Is Conducive to the Best Inter-
ests Of Our Country"
The affirmative side of the question was
maintained by John E. Moore, of Massa-
chusetts. and Leonardo Jorrin, of Cuba
who were opposed by James \. O'Shea, oil
New York, and Robert &. CauthOrn, of In
diana. Each of the speakers was gener-
ously applauded by the audience which
endeavored TO divide its favors impartially

THINGS THEATRICAL.

1t is very rarely that an actor has suf-
public mind by one performance, but this
is what seems TO have been done by Digby
Bell, whose work in giving the title role
OF Augustus Thomas THE Hoosier Doc
tor was such as TO have made his repu-
tation almost in a single night. AS the
gentle, kindly. loving Doctor Willow the
ex-comic opera favorite demonstrated him
self TO be player of such intelligence and
refinement as to merit universal respect
and commentator. This impression has
survived with strength enough to make
doubly interesting the statement that after
a period of one-night stands Mr.. Bell
will be seen next week at the Column
bia Theatre in Frances Hodgson Burnett's
new comedy, Joe Hurst, Gentleman"
This piece is said to be simple and con-
ventional, but withal so essentially full of
sympathy as to claim the attention Of audi
ences from beginning to end. Its story
concerns the love Of a father for his daugh
ter-a subject that can never cease to hold
the sentiment and regard of theatregoers
so long as family ties remain the most
tenacious and unyielding of all. The char
acters which tell the tale with the scenes
and incidents in which it is told are sup
posed 10 be unique in every sense. Mr..
Bell IS surrounded by an organization
fully equal to that which he brought here
last year, and among the members of
which is Laura Joyce Bell, whose imper-
sonation OF the scold in Mr.. Thomas play
was so much esteemed. The piece will be
deliberately staged and should make a
strong impression in Washington.
