POULTRY POINTERS.

Bone dust Is very beneficial for feeding
growing chickens until they are months
old.
Loss Of feathers Is gehefaiis caused ny
want ef green food or want of dust
bark. Supply both.
Begin poultry keeping with good
breed, medium in size, good layers, good
table fowls and constitutionally strong.
When IT is desired TO have the greatest
number Of pounds of meat produced WI b
the smallest amount of feed, select the
large breeds.
Do not sell of the hens that begin to
mott early, as they win finish the she'd
ding of the feathers and begin to lay
early In winter.
Overgrown chicks are not those that
have grown rapidly and attained large
size, but those that cannot stand on their
legs by reason of too rapid growth.
Geese can be raised on many farms to
advantage. Besides yielding a regular
income in the way of feathers, they are
one of the most profitable fowls for mar
ket. They are more easily raised than
turkeys and sell readily at good prices.
The flock of hens that keeps busy
scratching does not contract the vices
peculiar to those fowls that have nothing
to do, and they keep in good flesh and in
good health. The clean plumage, bright
red comb and plenty to do indicate good
health.-St Louis Republic

Dairymen May Learn Lesson From
whisky Manufacturers,

Da1rymen May Learn a Lesson From
whisky Manufacturers.
The highest authorities admit that
the present laws against the sale of but
ter substitutes cannot be enforced, says
L A. St5ckwell In the Indiana Farmer.
Even the great Dairy union of Ohio,
representing millions Of dollars. is I'M
potent. Is 1t possible that class as
intelligent as the dairymen in this
country cannot see the one thing need
full to have the laws enforced? The
whisky distillers, mere handful in
comparison With the butter makers,
know how 10 get laws for their protec-
ton passed and enforced. Let a man
put up a little 'stilP' in the mountains
of Kentucky, Tennessee or North Caro-
lima, see how quickly and with certain
ty the officers of Uncle Sam will hunt
him down and destroy his property.
No trouble TO get the United States dis
trict attorney to prosecute him. No,
sirl He is tried, convicted and railroad
ed to the penitentiary in short order.
Now, why this difference? Why can
whisky men get such prompt and thor
ough protection to their business while
the butter maker can get no protection
at all? Is it because whisky is more
valuable and more necessary to the
well being and comfort and happiness
of the people than good honest butter?
No. 1t is because the whisky men are
thoroughly organized and ready and
determined TO down with their votes
any set of men that don't carry out
their demands. No petition for them.
They don't petition; they demand.
Sometimes they get signatures to a
proper setting forth of what they want
and hand or send 1t to the proper pub
lie officials. When the official receives
the document, he knows exactly what
it means. for it tells him between the
lines that If he don't go right" he
builds his political sarcophagus wide
and deep, and-well, be does fright"
every time. There is DO politics or SEN
timent in whisky. Let any party enact
laws inimical to 1t, and the makers and
dealers 60 over to the opposition IN a
body. The politicians know this; hence
they get such laws as they want and
get them enforced. Is there any such
cohesion among farmers or dairymen?

2 AvERTED A TRAGEDY.
The Nerve Displayed by Daniel
O'ConneII at n Critical Moment.


O'Connell at Critical Moment.
Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator, had a contempt for physical
danger. On certain occasion a meet
ing had been convened, and a large
crowd assembled in room on the first
floor of building in q small city in
Ireland
people when gentleman pale with
fear, made his way TO the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
"Liberator, the floor is giving way
The beams that shore it up are crack
Ing, and we shall fall through In a few
minutesr'
Keep SILENT" said O'Connel. Then.
raising his voice he addressed the as
sembly:
81 find that the room is too small to
contain the number who desire to come
In, SO we must leave 1t and hold the
meeting outside the building"
At this few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
0'Connell said:
= Will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once. If there is a panic
and rush to the door, we shall all be
preciDitated into the room below. but
II you obey my orders we shall be
saved. Let the u men nearest the door
go quietly out. then the next u, and SO
on till ali have gone. / shall be the
last to leave"
His instructions were obeyed to the
letter. and he waited. patient and
calm, till all had gone out in safety.
Then he walked quietly across the
sundering cracking floor reaching the
door just as the shattered beams cave
way. And thus, by the force of his
strong VIII. a terrible accident was
averted. Exchange.

faith in the typewriter at first hand. but
all his manuscript is carefully copied out

The late Stephen Crane was never re-
markable for his attention to textbooks

the contrary, the Center square Of Eas-

there for hours alone and idle except for
the continuous smoking Of cigarettes.

The advantages Of the stave silo over
the round frame silo are so clearly
drawn that it would probably be safe
to predict that the former. though of
more recent Introduction, Is likely to
Utmost entirely supersede the latter.

Of slaves. The ease with which frost
penetrates a round frame sllo unless
provided with ample lining is a decided
objection to the same IN a cold winter
climate
The staye silo May be located within

Is placed outside Of the stable or barn.
Sometimes It Is located in one corner
Of the outbuilding. partly within and
partly without the same.
The character Of the foundation for
the stave siIo should be determined
largely by the character Of the soil and
the size Of the silo. Staye sllos have
been placed on the surface of the
ground without any excavation what
ever other than that made by removing
3 few Inches Of the soft surface soil.

less than two feet broad and should
come up several inches above the sur

preferable to round ones. but round
