The barrel of a revolver was sud

One Of the causes assigned by those
who feed several times n day is that
the birds are always hungry, and i'm
mediately run to the attendant for
more as soon as he puts In an appear
ance, says Poultry Keeper, This Is u
habit on the part Of the fowls. They
are not at all hungry on such occa-
sions, but have learned to look to
their owner for everything they re-
celve, consequently they will always
run to him when he appears, Such
hens seldom lay as many eggs as they
should, are usually very fat, and cost
more for feed than they deserve. The
way to treat them Is to scatter n table,
spoonful of millet seed for them to
scratch. The seeds being small, and
being dellcacles to all fowls. will be
highly rellshed, and the hens Will
work industrlously for them, thus taxi
ing exercise as well as keeping them
selves in better laying condition. The
greatest inducement to overlooking Is
to find the hens hungry, but 1t Is best
not to be deceived by appearance.

Tuberculosis Among DAIRY Cows.
A report by Professor Wortley Axe
on the results Of the inquiry promoted
by the British Dairy Farmers Assocla-
tion into the prevalence Of tuberculosis
among dairy cattle appears in the jour
nal of the Association recently issued
Nine herds were selected for testing,
the number OF animals in each, in
Guiding bulls, ranging from seventeen
to ninety-four. In two herds, con-
tanning respectively seventeen and
forty-onc animals, none OF the ami
mails reacted, and in one containing
eighty-three the reactions reached only
SO per cent; but in the other herds
the percentages Of reactions were re-
spectively 20, 1913, 43.4, ia, 1853 and
9O.4. The herds which gave no reac-
lions were bred on their farms, and
the animals lead an outdoor life all
the year round, being in the pastures
or yards by night as well as by day.
The other herds are kept to great
extent in sheds, and Professor Axe lays
stress upon the influence Of shed life
upon the propagation Of tuberculosis.

From the moment they discovered
the identity OF the two strangers all
hostility was at an end. They De-
longed to the ranks OF the Liberia
tors" Besides, they loved their young
mistress as much as they feared In
Edward tho stern master. The last
few months, during which he had had
the reins Of government, had shown
the whole household what was TO be
expected l.om the new master, Now
he had mysteriously vanished Per-
haps he might even be dead, But not
n hand stirred to seek or aid him.
Besides, practical John, who never
lost sight OF any possibility, had taxi
en- care to prevent danger from the
few white men who were acting as
oyerseers In the fields, He had sum
moned the whole establishment, and
briefly stated that the Union army was
marching In that direction; that one
regiment would arrive that evening
and hold every human being IN
Springfield to a strict account, II a
hair of his head or Lieutenant Ro-
lands was harmed. The composure
with which he related this fairy tale
made strong impression, and the
rapldlty OF all these incidents bewil-
dered them No one ventured to raise
an objection when Maxwell ordered
the fastest horses to be harnessed and
the carriage brought round; but all
fastened to obey, while the doctor

Oats for Feeding.

Oats for feeding should have an
agreeable smell, clean, smooth and
bright appearance, and pleasant taste;
should feel dry, hard and elastic to tho
touch when broken between the
teeth, and should be fairly well sup
piled with -four, says National Stock
man. The fact that they fulfill these
conditions will show that they have
been well saved are sufficiently old,
possess q due amount Of nutrlment,
and have not suffered from Injurious
influences, such as damp and mould,
as would be evident II they were musty
in smell and dull In color, The pres
ence of dust In oats proves that they
have been badly saved, and that their
quality has undergone more or less de-
terioration. A shrlveled-up condition
Is also a sign Of inferiorlty. With q
plump variety of oats, Y the Gins Gins
feel heavy In the haGI, rattle more OF
less like shot when poured out, re-
bound when they fall on wood or other
hard objects, and show no tendency
to stick together, our good opinion OF
their nutrltive value and sound condl-
ton will be still further confirmed.
The plumper, more rounded, and heav-
Ter oats are, the higher will be their
market value, Thinness of husk will
also enhance the price as rule. The
cost of white oats, probably on account
Of their cleaner and more pleasing APP
pearance, Is higher than that of either
black or tawny oats. Old oats are sold
at about Is per cent more than new
oats. The term "old" is applied 20 oats
as soon as the next crop begins to be
threshed.

Bone and Meat for Eggs.-There IL
no kind of food that will answer so
we'll as bones unless 1t is free from
fat or starch, II the flock Is confined,
food must be provided, and then pro-
portion OF grain may be allowed; but
II the hens are on range they should
be given no food. There is one kind
of food that will make hens lay, and
that is lean meat. And 1t may DO
allowed that those who use bone-cut-
tiers, and can secure fresh bone from
the butchers, can provide the cheapest
and best food that can be given. A
pound day for dozen hens Ia
ample. 1t costs but a small sum for q
cutter, compared with the saving OF
food, and though operating bone
cutter demands labor Gas bone Is not
easily reduced), the gain is more than
the expenditure. Meat stands first OF
all producing foods, and Is the
cheapest In proportion to results OBJ
tained.-Ex.

MIR. BRYAN AT
 GRAND RAPIDS Addressed Two Immense Gath erings Last Night-Glven a
 Warm Reception.

Grand Rapids, Mich, October 10.-Mr. Bryan made two speeches in this city to- night. The first was made in the square and the crowd covered almost the entire arena. His audience was vociferously dem- onstrative. MT. Bryan then repaired to the auditorium, which seats 4OOO people, and not only was every seat taken, but also every available bit of standing room. On the stage were seated as vice presidents, among oth- CT distinguished Democrats, a dozen or more men who had supported Palmer and Buckner in 1S96 including Hon. Edward F. Uhl, ex-minister to Germany.
 When MT. Bryan entered the hall he was enthusiastically received by the entire aud fence. MT. Bryan discussed trusts and i'm perialism and asked:
 of Great Britain wants to destroy a re- public, why does not she come over and sub. jugate the United States?'
 There were several responses from the crowd, some one suggesting that shed gel 1t in the neck"
 MT. Bryan referred to his controversy with Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn over the Sulu treaty, after quoting portions oi the treaty, sadd:
 Every man who votes the Republican ticket votes to approve the treaty made with the Sutton of Suu. That is a part oi your administration, and is one of the glor- ious conditions that we have had under the administra tion."
 Concluding, MT. Bryan said: "If liberty triumphs here, then 1t will triumph around the globe. If this nation wins Its fight and resists temptation, then the oppressed of every nation will thank God thas our Re- public Is here; then we will go on from victory unto victory, until liberty Is known the world around, until there are no kings no thrones, but everywhere people are re. garded as the source of power. It Is yeul fight; not ours. If you are with us worl from now until election day to make oul majority so large that neither fraud nor in limitation can defeat us.'
 He spoke for an hour and ten minutes and concluded amid great enthusiasm.

MEXICAN PRESS
Comments on American Politics-Mr
 Bryan's Views

Mexico City, October 10.-The American political campaign excites some interest in :he Mexican press, where, on account of Mr. Bryan's anti-expansion views, he has many friends. The Mexican Herald says that the tide of imperialism rising in Great Britain as shown by the parliamentary elections, may be parallelled In the United States, and adds that 1t looks as if the American people might follow the lead of President Mckinley, who has already done a pretty extensive job of expansion, and give him permission to continue the policy which is evidently immensely popular in other branches of the Anglo-Saxon race.

ACTION RESCINDED
Important Decision Rendered in the
 Gadsden City Court

Gadsden, October 1o.-(Special. .)-An im- portant decision was rendered in the City Court today. The Anniston Lime and Stone Company sought to enjoin J. A. Blount and others from quarrying stone from the Lagarde quarries on the ground that that company had sought to purchase part of the property and had an oral option on it before the present owners purchased it. An injunction was granted last week on condition that the complainants execute a bond fol. s25O0
 The respondents filed a petition asking that they be allowed to submit testimony showing that the bond should be doubled and that the bill was based on evidence obtained by bribery.
 The court reopened the case and upon hearing the evidence rescinded the order entirely and fixed the bond of the complain ants at 5000, which they failed to make.
