POULTRY POINTERS.

Color in fowls Is largely matter OF
taste.
Almost any way Is better than over
crowding.
The first thing now is to get the hens
through molting.
Hens that are late in molting will rare
~ lay until spring. :,
Ground rawbone not only contains
lime, but animal matter Of value to the
hens.
When guineas are shut up, they rarely
sit, but when given a good range they
will hatch broods and rear them very
readily.
One advantage Of buying the breeding
fowls in good season BOW is that breed
ers usually have a full supply and will
sell cheaper.
Turkeys must have considerable range,
and they must also be allowed full liber-
ty with their young or they will not keep
in good health.
One advantage In giving fowls free
range is, that there will be less trouble
from soft shell eggs. The exercise
and lime they will pick up will lessen this
trouble. .''.,S'
During the summer a supply of dry
road dust should be gathered up and
stored away for use during the coming
winter to sprinkle over the floor of the
poultry house.-St. Louis Republic.

BEE BUZZES.

A free circulation Of air should pass
between the ground and the hive in order
always to keep it dry on all sides.
Bees In box hives can be fed up for
wintering just as well as in any hive, but
they may not be just as easy to handle.
Bees are not known to secrete wax and
build comb at any time other than when
they are gathering honey or are being
fed.
A we'll formed brood nest is one that
occupies the center Of four or. five frames
and is entirely surrounded Except the
bottom) with sealed honey.
Each hive should have good bottom
board, which should be planed smooth
and painted. It should also be cleated
at each end to prevent cupping.
There is nothing that will advance the
progress In the apiary equal to supply
Of empty combs. A large supply Of them
may be readily obtained by using founda-
ton. ..n -..
Four parts Of coffee and sugar and one
part water simmered until it becomes
quite hard on being cooled makes good
candy for fall and winter feeding.-St.

A Clever Scheme.

Al Stoehr, while spending a summer
in the country, boarded at the residence
Of an old granger in Clermont county,
who had decided views Of his own on
every subject under the sun. One day a
lightning rod peddler came along and per-
suaded the old man to allow him to affix
rods on one of his barns. The old fellow
owned two barns and had lightning rods
put upon one building as an experiment
The second day after the rods were
placed in position heavy August thun-
derstorm swept over that part Of the
country and flash of lightning rent the
sky and the bolt struck one of his new
rods. The barn was not injured in the
least, and the farmer wept for joy.
"That saves me money, be gosh" he
exclaimed.
''Of course it does," answered Stoehr.
II suppose you'll have rods put upon the
other barn at once?"
"Not by dern sight" answered the
old man. "I'm going to have them rods
moved over to the. other barn. Lightnin'
never strikes twice in the same place,
y know!"-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Her Lucky Chance.

Northwestern elevated express train

1t happened that every seat in the car
which she entered was occupied, and for
q moment she stood alone in the aisle,
the only passenger who was not receiving
all that the nickel invested at the gate
called for.
Two young men who seemed to sbc
strangers sat uear the spot where the
fat lady stood. They looked at her and
then at each other and without saying
anything got up. The woman glanced at
the place they had vacated as If meas
uring it with her eye, and then sat down
saying:
''Thank you, gentlemen; l am so GLAD
you were sitting together. "-Chicago

them before the towering heap Of out

pointing to two trunks little aside from
the rest. II am sure these are the we'd

Upon mentioning. the nature Of my

handed the key Of the box and informed
that there was no danger In opening It
because the serpent was below wire net

see it without the chance Of it making its
escape. ... ,-... .-:, 81. 1s ias 5sttS
I accordingly proceeded to the green
house, unlocked the box sand opened the
lid. To my utter establishment the snake
was coiled up on the top Of the wire net
ting and with the quickness Of lightning
darted at me. I had just time enough
to seize it by the neck, when it instantly
wound itself around my right arm, and
had not the power to disengage myself
from the grip the serpent had made upon
me. The two women were hOrrifed,
and nothing would induce them to come
to my assistance. My only chance $of
getting rid of this powerful brute was by
trying to strange him, to do which with
both hands I strove my utmost. It APP
peared to me at the time that should
not be able to accomplish my efforts to
squeeze his life out. u
The constant increase of the pressure
he put upon my arm caused me to fear
that should entirely lose the power Of
my right hand, US I was grasping the
brute just below the head with all my
strength. ~
The time appeared to pass very slowly
without any visible diminution Of it's
extraordinary grip. However, I felt some
relief on finding after time that it was
slowly relaxing the pressure, and pres
emily it gradually slid off my arm until
its tail touched the ground. So soon as
found the snake sufficiently disengaged
from my arm I dropped it into the
box, apparently more dead than alive.
After this did not consider it worth
while to purchase the, reptile, although

tians In the sudan.
n What a. farce II it did not deal with
mems lives" wrote Gordon while the
tragedy nsthe Sudan was going on In
1854 and 1885. That series of blunders
which cost 30 many splendid men is one
OF the unhappiest chapters in British
history, and the climax Of it was one
Of the most frightful massacres In his
tory. Gordon, the same "Chinese" Cor
don who conquered the TAPPING rebellion,
was besieged in Khartum. y.
He had gone there to relieve the Egyp-
tian forces and to get them back home
or to conquer their enemies. His gov
eminent wanted him to return, but he
wrote these words: II declare positively
and once for all that will not leave
the Sudan until every one who wants to
80 down Is given the chance to do 80,
unless government is established which
relieves me Of the charge. Therefore
IL any commissary or letter comes up
here ordering me to so down i will not
obey it, but will stay here and fall with
the town and run all risks"
For 317 days the siege of Khartum
continued. Those in Khartum were
brought to the last extremity. The
famine, was fearful. All kinds of ami
mails, even cats and rats, were eaten,
and the Egyptian troops received each
day only one ration Of gum and bread,
made out Of the pith of the palm tree.
Through all this Gordon maintained dis
cipline, and it is said that during the
last Is days Of the siege he did not
sleep two hours day. In January the
British troops were moving to Gordon's
relief and were within few days. march
of the city when on Jan. 20, 1885, the
mahdi at half past 8 in the morning
made a vigorous assault. There were
charges Of treachery among Gordon's
officers, and facts are not altogether
explained, but what is known is that
the Arabs won the fight and overwhelm-
ed the city. At once they began the
massacre which makes one shudder even
to this day. For six hours it continued.
Over 1000 people, including Gordon and
all his officers and all foreigners, were
slain. Only the black troops were saved.
Then the city was pillaged. The women
were distributed among the Arabs, and
even the black men who were not killed
were stripped Of everything and turned
into the desert. It was one of the most
horrible orgies of blood and lust the cen
fury had known.-Saturday Evening
