Rankin,s Ration. for Ducks.

The well-known pioneer New Eng
land duck farmer, James Rankin,
feeds his breeding birds in fall and
early winter as follows: Three quarts
wheat bran, one part oat feed, one
part cornmeal, five per cent. beef
scraps, five per cent. grit, and all the
green feed they will eat, in the shape
of corn fodder (cut fine), clover or oat
fodder. Feed this mixture twice a
day, all they will eat. When the lay
ing season begins, about February /,
they get equal parts of wheat bran
and cornmeal, 90 per cent. oat feed,
10 per cent. boiled turnips or potatoes,
Is per cent. clover rowen, green rye
or refuse cabbage, chopped fine, five
per cent. of grit. Feed twice day
all they will eat with lunch. of corn
at noon. Keep grit and oyster shells
constantly by them.

THE HENS In WINTER.
To Prevent Diseases They Must Bs
Kept Dry and Warm and Pro-
tected from Exposure.

While roup may not exist in tho
flock, yet hoarseness, rafting in the
throat, blindness, etc., are common
ailments. They are mostly due to
colds, and are usually caused by ex-
posture to draufts of air at night,
either from crack or crevice in the
wall, from top ventilation, or from
exposure during the day to high
winds. 1t is very annoying, and af-
fects the fowls that are very fat more
than others. AS the nostrils are usual
ly closed, also, the giving of liquid
medicines sometimes results in stran-
gulation. Keep the birds dry and
warm, away from drafts of any kind.
Inject one or two drops of camphor-
'ated oil into each nostril, let the bird
be quiet Gas exercise seems to increase
the difficulty), and give a pill the size
of three-cent silver piece in diam
eter three times day, composed OF
equal parts by weight of quinine,
bromide of potash and red pepper.
After so doing swab the throat with
a solution made by dissolving a

in gill of warm water, using soft
rag on stick. Feed on nourishing
food, such as chopped lean meat. The
main point is to keep the bird dry
and warm. If the breathing is very
severe give two drops of spirits of
turpentine on bread-crumb once a
day. A teaspoonful of beaten raw
egg is also excellent.-Farm and Fire

mani" thought Aimee, though wisely
she did not put her thought in words.
The interview ended as such inter-
views usually end.s And. the professor,
when he went away, carried with him
heavy heart-and the little photo
graph of Aimee's lovely face.
1t was strange thing, but Aimee
could not for one moment forget the
professors words: II love you. can
not live = happily - without you'll"
They rang in her ears, and his face
as it had been when he said those
words-haunted her day and night
through all the round of holiday gay
cites which followed, though during
those days she saw him no more.
She did not desire to see him, yet-un-
consciously at first-she came to con-
trast him, his manner, his mode of
speech, with every man she met. And
each of these she ranked in proper
ton as they approached or fell be-
low the professors level.
So New Years eve came, and mid
night found Aimee and Tom with a
party of their friends, watching the
old year depart.
Some one had been reciting Tenny-
sons ''Death of the Old Year" And
the words,
He gave me friend and true, true-love,
And the New Year will take EN- away"
struck Aimee as ominous. They ech-
oed through her dreams all night, and
they came back to her next morning
when .she took up the paper and read
of an accident which had occurred on
trolley the night before, in which
Prof. Robert Vaughn had been injured
so seriously that his death was mo-
mentarily expected.
Then it was that the truth was re-
vealed to her, and her heart echoed the
professors own words: 81 love you. L
cannot appily-without you'll
The family were so concerned over
the bad news of their friend that
Aimee's face was not noticed.
Nor did it seem strange or unusual
to them when she went out alone to
the early service at the church.
Aimee wanted to be alone with her
secret and her sorrow. The holy words
to which she listened made her more
calm. And when the service was ended
she walked on to the street where she
knew the professor lived. She would
pass the door, and if he were already
gone-there would surely be some sign
by which she would know-the worst.
But she saw no sign, and, though she
dared not hope, she paused and
breathed a little inarticulate prayer.
The door above suddenly opened and
shut again, and the tall figure OF man
came swiftly down the steps.
"Aimee-Miss Aimee-you!"
"Oh, professor! Then-you are not
-dead!"
He looked searchingly into her pitt
full, white, lovely face.
Professor he queried.
Robert" she breathed, with lit
tie sob.
'Thank Heaven! No, I am not
dead!" he said, cheerily, tucking her I'M
resisting hand within his arm with a
confident air of possession.

a mistake-but a blessed mistake, my
Aimee-for 1 believe I have that to
thank for giving you to me-and MAX

life!''-Judith Spencer, in Ladies'

The Ranxe and the Yord.

On the range the hens get little at a
time, but they are ever moving from
place to place and are busy as pos
sible. 1t is different matter when
they are fed by the owner. He throws
down the food and they fill their crops
at once. Having done so they are salts
fed and "wax and grow fat" There is
q lesson to learn from the ma tural mode
of feeding by the hens. Give them this
food in small quantities. When the
crop is overloaded too much food is
passed into the gizzard to be triturated,.
and the digestive organs are overtaxed;
but when the food is eaten gradually
and slowly digestion is natural and the
system is better nourished.-Farm and

THE KENTUCKY QUEEN.
Editor of Blue Grass State Paper
Finds New Name for the
Busy Hen.

We have read of Maud on a sum-
mer. day, who raked, barefooted, the
new-mown hay; we have read of the
maid in the early morn, who MIXED
the cow with the crumpled horn; and
we've read the lays that the poets
sing of the rustling corn and the flow
ers of spring; but of all the lays of
tongue or pen, there's naught like the
lay of the Trimble hen. Long, long
before Maud rakes the hay, the Trim
BILE hen has begun to lay; and ere
the milkmaid stirs peg, the hen is
up and has dropped her egg; the
corn must rustic and flowers spring
if they hold their own with the barn
yard ring. If Maud is needing hat
and gown, she doesn't hustle her hay
to town; she goes to the store and
obtains her suit with basket full of
her fresh hen-fruit; if the milkmaid's
beau makes Sundays call, she
doesn't feed him milk at all but
works up eggs in a custard pie and
stuffs him full of chicken fry; and
when the old man wants horn, does
liz oohO ohC VI uSSlS d 1Odo VI Gull
Not much! He simply robs nest
and to town he goes-you know the
rest. He fingers there and he talks,
perchance, of true reform and correct
feenance, while his poor wife stays
at home and scowls, but is saved
from want by those self-same fowls;
for while her husband fingers there
she watches the cackling hens with
care, and gathers eggs, and the eggs
she'll hide till she saves enough to
stem the tide. Then hail, all hail! to
the Trimble hen, the greatest blessing
of all men! throw up your hats and
make Rome howl for the preserving
barnyard fowl; Corn may be king,
but it's plain to be seen the Trimble
hen is the Kentucky queen.-Milton

The tall man swiftly turned, gave
an exclamation of surprise; and was
greeted by hearty laugh from Tom.
Prof. Vaughnl"
"My young friend, Tom-and Miss
Aimee, also! Well, well-who would
have thought of meeting you two in
this part of the town tonight! May
] ask what brought you here?"
"Just what brought you, professor,
apparently" laughed Tom. Sand
then this sister of mine has fond
ness for seeking the spirit of Merry
Christmas as she calls It'll
Sand apparently she has found it,"
said the professor, smiling, while
Aimee's eyes twinkled and her lips
twitched with merriment at the way
in which the professors hand re-
manned closed, as if it contained some
treasure.
They walked along together. The
professor evidently knew this part of
the city well. He had many stories,
droll and pathetic, to tell of customs
of which they knew nothing, and of
stranger customs still, which were
practiced in the poorer parts of GER
tain cities abroad.
Aimee listened with delight, while
her bright eyes lost nothing of what
was going on about her. She emptied
her jacket pocket, too, to it's last small
coin, and so dexterously that the pro-
lessor never once saw what she was
doing, or, at least, that was what
Aimee thought.

Goose Market mt warsaw.

At Warsaw, Poland, they hold a
goose market every year in October.
The geese, about 100000 in number,
are driven to Warsaw from all parts
O: the country. Many of them come
from distant provinces and as con-
sequence have to travel many miles
over roads that would wear out their
feet unless some means were taken
to protect them. This is done by
driving them through tar poured upon
the ground and then through sand.
The operation is repeated several
times, and by the time they are ready
to start their feet are completely COW
cred with a hard crust which effec-
tually protects them from all injury.

"Aimee, do you mean it-you, your
self? No, no, or you never would have
said it thus; of that I'm sure!"
" But should you leave me now, too late
You'll feel regret-as sure as fate!'
"Regret-Aimee, if 1 can't win you I
shall feel despair!"
" My riddle you can't read? Then look
You'll find the answer in this book!"
"And the answer is-your likeness
hidden-for none but my eyes to see!'
He needed her. All, yes, he knew it
now. But could she have guessed his
secret, even before it had been fully
revealed to himself, and could she have
taken this artful way-to give him
courage? No, thousand times no.!
That could never be Aimee's way. And
yet
He looked at her picture again and
he read the doggerel again. Finally
he went to bed, but he could not sleep.
He was haunted by Aimee's lovely face.
Early the next afternoon the pro-
lessor went to the Desmonds' and asked
to see Miss Aimee.
He noted that she seemed surprised
to see him.
Il came to return something" he
said, watching her anxiously.
She seemed puzzled. Then she
laughed gayly and extended her hand.
my poor little ten-cent piece! hope
you didn't really think I mistook you
for blind beggar!"
Indeed, Miss Aimee, you will find
that am beggar, and 1 am sure that
1 have been quite blind. But it is not
the dime; you really gave me that, and
1 have right to keep it-for luck!"
"But-I really don't understand -
said Aimee. Its not the poor little
housewife, I hope?"
"No! but this-which I found hidden
within it, and he held out the little
picture of herself.
An expression of surprise, followed
by a wave of color, overspread her face.
"Oh-I'm very glad you didn't think p
NO." he said, seriously. 81 tried at
first to think so, but simply couldn't,
and so
81 will tell you how it came to be
there" said Aimee, quickly. 81 had
completely forgotten it, but I remem-
Der now. I made the little housewife
for Tom when we thought he was go
ing to the war. And I slipped that
picture in, because he always had liked
it, and thought he might come across
it some time and be glad to see it. Then
he didn't go, after all, so I just put it
one side. And when wanted some
thing for you in a hurry for my non
sense tree thought of that, though
I'd forgotten all about the picture. 1
thank you for not misunderstanding
and for bringing it back to me-"
"But-I want to keep it," said the
professor, earnestly, ''unless-unless
you will give me the original. Aimee,

you; I cannot NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

But her face, her gesture answered
him.
ST am fool to have told you this so
soon,' he ended, abruptly.
ooh, professor!" said Aimee, very
sorrowfully.

think of me for once as Robert Vaughn!
Think of me as man-ahd not such an

scalded and Dry Picked.

The New York Produce Review
says: Many shippers, seeing dry
picked spring chickens quoted higher
than scalded, have been inclined to
dry pick all their chickens, which is
a serious mistake. Large dry picked
chickens do demand a premium of
one to two cents over scaided, as they
can be used in place of Philadelphia
or nearby chickens, but small dry
picked are not wanted by any class
of trade except at cheap price. and
where the birds run small they are
more attractive and sell bettar when
scalded.
