MIN, he says, was decidedly rank. Two
days OF suffering were enough.
He called ON his landlady to settle
his bill, and paid her for the time at
the rate of $6 day, as she demanded.
Then he told her what he Thought of
the place, and trouble began. The Re-
hoboth hostess permits of MO clorn-
plants, and it was only the work of
few minutes for her to procure a
warrant for his arrest ON the mys-
terious charge connected with bring

Huebner, thus snaItched into court,
wanted to plead his own case, as he
mad been admitted to THE bar, but the
justice sagely replied that in his court

We're permitted that privilege. A
resident of Washington was supposed
to keep his mouth shut and accept the
consequences. Attorney General
White, of Delaware, who happened to
be at the beach, was called to the
courtroom and ON his advice Mr..
Huebner was allowed his say, and his
case was dismissed.
But the persistent landlady was NOT
to be outdone. A civil suit was begun
for board week in advance. and the
Attorney-General was retained by the
plaintiff. The evidence was soon Of
fered, and the questions of facts dis
posed OF by the justice The Wash

argued that a Judgment against him
would be unjust, as the plaintiff had
not performed her part of the contract.
and he cited a United States Supreme
Court case to support his contention.
He was advised by the Justice. how
ever, that United States law did not
apply in Delaware; that judgment
must be rendered for hhe weeks board n
and that he might return Ito the board z
ing-house and enjoy it's hospitality TO
the time for which he thus paid Il
advance.
By way of handout out, exact and
equal justice, the Delaware iurist
promised to see that THE landbqdv sum

like contempt of court should the guest
decline to stay the week out, and ac-
cordingly Mr.. Huebner returned b. his

1t IS interesting. to say the least of
it, to learn. through the medium of the
Sheffield Daily Telegraph, that "Dr

red color on methyitrabrome fuOres-

in informing our readers consists of Il
simple mixture of the hydrochlordcs
of pcnta methyl pararosaniline and
heXamethyl pararoSaniline and SO on
through the various stages Of the col

thing is so simple that the opponents
of the color feeding cult who only
avail themselves of such rare and cost
~ commodities as marigold, nastur-
tium or cayenne to effect their objects
must henceforth be regarded as quite
crude opponents of Il noble science.
HencefOrth the poultry or pigeon
breeder will only have to raise white
birds, which, with the assistance of
penny's worth of the hydrochlorides of
pentamethyl pararosaniline and heXa-
methyl pararosanilne mixture or some
such pleasant drug, he can alter to any

What kind of pasture Is best for
geese and how can low land be profit
ably used for geese? This subject Is
one suggested by a reader who ex-
plains his object as follows:
"What would be the best way to
use low land for goose pasture? To
allow the wild grass to grow uncut, to
cut 1t to keep 1t tender or to SOW other
grass seed on the unbroken land? If
the last scheme is preferable, what
is the best seed to SOW? | am so stu
ated that the geese could not have any
considerable amount of high land to
pasture on, and the low land Is never
more than two feet above water level
in the highest spots and ut rare inter
walls small stream near by overflows
nearly all the land. How many geese
do you think an acre of such land
would pasture?"
The best grass for geese is white
clover. Geese will eat down into the
roots and are closer grazers than even
sheep. But white clover may not
thrive where land Is wet. though where
the land Is two feet above the water
level, as mentioned above. the white
clover will probably grow on 1t. 1t
would not be advisable to plow the
land If it has a sod, but NOW it occa-
sionally. A variety of other grasses
may be grown on the contiguous high
land.
Geese will eat almost anything that
is young and tender in the form of
vegetables or grass. They are very
partial to short grasses, all kinds of
clover and young weeds being dellca-
cies. Young rye. blue grass. young
corn, green oats or even crab grass is
relished.
A patch of cowpeas, left to mature
seed, will be relished by all kinds of
poultry, as the dry pods can be easily
opened by them and the leaves will be
eaten by ducks and geese.
How many geese will an acre pas
ture? If an acre Is divided. so as to
give some Of the grass an opportunity
to grow while the other is being utiliz-
ed, an acre will accommodate about 20
geese, provided the pasturage is not
depended upon wholly, but the number
may be decreased or increased accord
ing to the amount of heritage produced

will support-Poultry Keeper.

Timely Cackles,

Energy? Yes. it is most desirable
factor in poultry culture, but energy
uncontrolled by common sense is a
waste of forces which are given us to
be utilized, not dissipated, says Ma
tional Fanciers' Journal.
The Baltimore Sun says there is no
reason why a large flock of fowls and
q number of hives of bees could not be
managed by a woman. and it Is pos
sibe that with the extra care that
would probably be bestowed the profits
would be as large. If not larger, than
when managed by the male sex.
Orange Judd Farmer says the utility
strains of White WyaLdottes have
more good points for the farmer than
any other breed. They are very good
layers Of brown eggs and will lay
through the winter months and keep
It up in summer. The Wyandotte is
very quiet in disposition.
If you are looking for a business to
which you can give the very best of
your ability and care, it isn't necessary
for you to adopt profession, says Ma
tonal Fanciers' Journal. Just n sim
pie, plain chicken business will furnish
all the opportunity for scientific ex-
pertinent study and research any one
needs.
If there is one thing more necessary
than any other in successfully con
Quoting affairs It is system, says Ma
tlonal Fanciers' Journal. Unless ones
endeavors are systemized they are
prone to be Improbable, and 1t be-
hooyes every poultryman to see that
his business is so managed that the
waste of effort will be reduced to a
minimum.

GREEN FOOD FOR RABBITS.
What Kinds to Use and When and
How to Use Them.


The diversity of opinion that exists
among fanciers as to the feeding and
treatment of their pets is very pro.
nounced. One of the subjects on which
rabbit breeders are wont TO be greatly
at variance is that of green food. The
large majority of the breeders find
that green stuff is essential to the
health and well being of their animals.
Dwellers in the country have an advan-
tage over their town brethren in that
they can procure great variety of
green food during the spring and sum-
mer; chicOry, dandelion. hedge parsley,
COW thistle, grass and clover, radish
tops, blackberry leaves, turnip tops.
fresh pea pods, cabbage and lettuce
leaves are generally easily procured.
In towns, cabbage, lettuce and dande-
lion have to be looked to as the chief
vegetables.
Chicory, though not often used, Is
most valuable and beneficial. 1t IS
eaten readily by the animals and keeps
them in good condition. never giving
them the scours.
Cabbage is particularly useful at q
time OF year when other green food
is not to be had. Lettuce is particularly
useful for breeding does. although of
so watery a nature that it should not
be given in large quantities or in wet
seasons. Dandelion Is another valuable
green food. 1t has powerful effect on
the Kidneys. so should not be given for
3 lengthy period at a time Hedge pars-
ley is largely used in the country. 1t
must not be mistaken for hemlock,

Use SkinlIniIk.

Skimmilk is a food which contains
muscle and flesh forming material in a
form to be readily taken up and di-
gested by the system. Milk that has
been skinned has really lost but
small amount of its value as a food,
the cream consisting considerably Of
fat, which in itself Is the least nutrl-
tious part of the milk, except to create
warmth. The cheesy matter left in
the milk is its most valuable part for
food and tends to produce a vigorous,
healthful growth when fed to calves,
pigs and chickens. If chickens were
fed less corn and more skimmllk, 1t
would not only be to their lasting ben
eft, but it would also eventually re-
suit in financial benefit to the farmer

the breed has suffered a sort of decline
