Bone in the Warm Season.

Some persons are disposed to use
green cut bone only in winter, but a
small quantity led once a day in
spring and summer will greatly pro-
mote laying and be of much advan-
tage to moulting hens. The bone cut
ter does not "grind" bones, but "cuts''
those fresh from the butcher, and a
pound of green cut bones, given at
night to - fowls will cost but little
and prove beneficial in promoting lay
ing. For geese and ducks there is no
food that will show better results, es-
pecially for those that are growing
as it supplies the elements of growth
and thus prevents them aom having
leg weakness. Do not give too much,
but use it moderately in connection
with a variety of other foods.--P. II.

The pets name will be embroidered
on the back. A great variety of coll
lars have been displayed. The newest
style consists of patent leather--gen-
orally in black-studden with brass
headed nails
Cats are more fashionable than ever.
There are two cat clubs in Chicago, and
the membership in each is increasing
very rapidly. In the Beresford club
named after Lady Beresford--there is
membership of over 200, and in the
Chicago Cat club of nearly 100. Then,
of course, there are hundreds of wom-
en- who are eat fanciers that are not
connected with either of these associa-
tions. Some of the most valuable cats
in the world are owned here. There
is Mrs. Clinton Locke, who has two
Siamese cats-there are only three all
told in this country-valued at $500
each. She is also the owner of the cell
ebrated black Persian cat, st. Tidno,
worth 5000. Mrs. Matte Fiske Green,
of the North side, is the possessor of
blue Persian which $500 would not
purchase. Mrs. Leland Norton, of the
Drexel kennels, has tortoise shell An
goras worth 5000 each, and Mrs. Charles
Lane has a number of Persians Of a va
riety of colors. These are only few
of the fine cats owned in Chicago. Good
authorities say that a better display
was made here at the last cat show
! than in any other city in the United
| States.
One animal always is staple, and that
| is the horse. Bicycle nor automobile
cannot drive him away. And this sea-
son is no exception to the general rule.
| There is little or no change in his gem
eral makeup. Docked tails are still
in fashion, and for the heavy carriage
the name is cut square. Good horses
are exceedingly difficult to obtain, and
are more in demand than they have
been at any time since the year 1890.
The reason for this is that the breeders
stopped breeding during the hard times
and the demand has been steadily in
creasing. On three different occasions
recently $4,000 was paid for a span of
carriage horses. Single horses for traps
are equally scarce, and Chicago dealers
! have more orders than they can fill.
Inquiries for family horses are also
very numerous, and there is no difficult
ty in making sales when the animal is
up to the standard. Saddle horses OF
the proper breed readily bring good
prices here. Several fashionable rid
ing clubs have been formed in the city,
and extensive arrangements for an en-
ioyable summer have been made by
the equestrians and equestriennes.
This unusual demand for horses
seems strange, too, when it is under
stood that several automobile estab.
lishments are in full operation and all
are doing good business. In addition
to this great many automobiles have
been purchased by private persons, and

the horSeless traps, runabouts and
phaetons may be seen everywhere upon
the boulevards.
An old liveryman, when asked the
reason for this, said:
We'll, it is simply an eNemplification
of the old saying that competition is
the life of trade When steam cars
were first introduced and railroads
were being built all over the country
the horse dealers threw up their hands
and said the days of the horse had
ended. But they soon found out that
the railroads made n greater demand
for horses than before, and prices went
up. 1t was just the same with the bicy-
Gle. When that first came into use
some people predicted that horses
would be relegated to the rear. But
the horse was still in demand. And so
with the cable street cars and the troll
ley-they didn't retire the house. The
automobile will turn out the same way
No, sir, the horse is here to stay, and
no new-fangled get-up-and-go-th
can drive him off the face of the earth ~
So, you see, animals are of consider.

Whether it is on account of the Eng

SUMMER VENTILATION.
ernl Thing Receives Too Little
Attention from POuItrymen.

Summer is the time when the ordi-
nary owner of feathered stock thinks
there is 70 need of looking after ven.
tilation. Yet the summer ventilation
of the poultry house is as necessary as
the winter ventilation of the same.
There are two makeshifts for proper
ventilation or airing. One is to leave
the doors and windows open at night,
with the fowls exposed to all kinds of
night providers, and the other is to
shut up the fowls in a place that
would be considered intolerable as a
bed chamber for the owner of the
fowls. The writer has known some
great disasters to follow the first
course, and he cannot doubt that
much suffering follows the second.
One old man, that had left his poultry
house door open during summer
nights for years, finally had his roosts
raided by hungry coon. Another
man had his entire flock of more than
20 fowls destroyed in one night by
some wild animal from the forest,
though this man lived in the edge of
a village of more than 1000 inhabi-
| tants.
The poultry house may be exposed
to the air in perfect safety by an ex-
pense of few cents for wire net
ting. Two-inch mesh is suitable
where the danger is not great from
rats and weasels, but as inch wire
mesh costs little, it is usually safer
to use that. AS soon as the weather
becomes warm in the spring take out
the windows, and put in this wire net
ting, mailing it on over the outside, so
if it becomes necessary during sud-
den cold spell to put in the windows
temporarily, this can be done without
trouble. The fresh air thus admitted
will be of great value to the health
and comfort of the fowls.-M. G.
Thurston, in Country Gentleman.

OF course dogs are still the standby.
They are always pets. 1t is only the
variety that changes. This season the
dog that is the greatest in demand is
The little Pomeranian. His original
is the French bulldog, but he has
been bred down to such an extent
that his own mother would not recog-
nize him. The English fanciers have
got him so that IA good specimen will
not weigh more than four pounds.
The real importation comes in solid
colors-brown seal, black, cream and
blue. He somewhat resembles the
Boston terrier, except that he is n
much handsomer animal and that his
ears extend out broad, like bats.
Then there is the Japanese spaniel.
He is still a favorite, as he has been
for some time, The other varieties of
dogs remain in about the same rela-
tive positions that they did last year.

tie shivering hairless creatures. When
