DELICATE CHICKENS.
Has Developed Into quite a
Little Industry.

For some ten years past certain lit
tie industry has been progressing-an
industry of luxury, viz: the production
of delicate chickens. You have certain
ly eaten some, for on select tables these
little chickens, of the size of pigeon,
have been seen for some time. Each
person has his chicken, and such a
chicken! Succulent, tender. juicy flesh.
The director of the school of bird
culture of Gambler tells how these deli
cate chickens are obtained. The young
chicks are given food in which milk
forms the basis of the nourishment.
Hence the name milk chickens" This
food is made of barley -four mixed in
boiled milk. This is fed exclusively
and it produces a delicate and fine fla
vored flesh. The milk chicken should
be eaten when it is at the age of from
six weeks to two months. At that age
1t is heavy, plump, and should weigh,
at six weeks, four-fifths of a pound.
The little chicken of the farmyard and
fields, which picks up its food behind
its mother. is without taste compared
with the milk chicken" The flesh of
the latter may be served to conva-
lescents and inyalids when no other
flesh is pernissi5le.-Emily S, Windsor,
n Ohio Farmer.

away. He was beginning to see through
it all. He knew that two ladies of the
garrison were calling at his quarters
just at that luckless hour near retreat.
when, as he had urged, Merriam went
thither and asked for Mrs. McLane. He
knew that they had left and gone on up
the row while his wife was expostulat-
ing with Fanny aloft and Randy was
waiting below. He knew that one at
least of their number would be sure to
tell what was occurring, not as mat
ter of malice by any means, but simply
because she couldn't help telling any
thing and everything that she saw and
heard. He knew that sympathizing
women were dropping in every few
minutes to see 'dear Florrie" herself
if possible thing, or to inquire how
she was, and he quickly conjectured
that one or more of these visitors had
let fall the fatal observation. What
Grafton did not know was that such a
visitation had befallen after Florence
had virtually asked Randy to tell where
he had been. and after his hapless fail
ure to explain Immediately the entire
circumstances. 1t reused the demon
of her passionate nature to be told the
truth by other lips than his. But this

meets Merriam, on his wedding trip.
Chapter III.-Some time previous to this

vey, fallen Ill, and had been nursed by Mrs.
Tremaine and daughter Florence. A hasty
note from Mrs. McLane's stepson takes
him to the plains.
Chapter IV.-Young McLane dictates to
Merriam a dying message, which is sent
to Parry "a young Chicago lawyer and
brother-in-law of Mrs. McLane). Reply
causes Merriam to swoon. He is taken to
the Tremaine's; calls for Florence.

Average Cost of Eggs.

Experiments in feeding and in COM
putting the value of eggs, show that if
70 estimate is made for l'.bor, one dozen
eggs can be produced at cost of about
six cents for food, or about half a cent
per egg. If all of the food allowed to
hens were converted into eggs the profit
of dozen eggs would be large. even
when prices are very low, but much de-
ponds on whether the hens convert the
food into eggs, flesh, or support of their
bodies. 1t is fact demonstrated, how
ever, that when a dozen eggs are mar
keted they carry from the farm but

soil in proportion to their value in

as profitable as anything that can be

away from the path that led to his
wife and home, straight to that which
bore him to the side Of the woman he
had loved before ever he set eyes on
Floy Tremaine. And thither she, per-
chance, had followed; but there-what
had she seen?-what had she heard?
There were aching hearts in many
households at Sedgwick that cloudless
morning, but the man who suffered
most was Grafton. The whole truth
flashed upon him as he followed the
prints of Mignon's nimble hoof. He
would have to tell his wife and Mrs.
Hayne, but no one else.
"No word of this to anyone, Whit
taker," therefore he cautioned, with q
sigh.

troubled subaltern's reply, though
dare say you've thought me so of late"
"God forbid that should judge any
man." thought Grafton to himself,
latter what I've done this past night"
Harriet Grafton was greatly shocked
when told her husbands fears, and did
not altogether meekly accept his eau
ton to keep the secret from Fanny,
who still slept the sleep of the innocent
and virtuous and clear of conscience.
Hop Ling had been told to go indoors,
put all the rooms to rights, have the
breakfast table set, and breakfast pre-
pared as usual. and he wondered but
obeyed. Mrs. Hayne was speedily
aroused by the announcement that Mrs.
Grafton was below, and was well aware
that something extraordinary had oc-
CURED to warrant call at so early an
hour. Even the children, wearied after
last nights vigil, were still asleep. Don

landing and softly called over the bal
listers: 81 know you have news for me,
Mrs. Grafton, please come up"
And in the telling of her tidings, was il
any wonder that the younger mstron
burst into tears?
