HINTS ON MANAGEMENT.
Poultry Keeping Is a Business That
Calls for the Constant Exercise
of Good Judgment.

Poultry should pay a good profit.
but if neglected will run one into
debt. The smaller the flock, the
greater the individual yield. Fifty
hens are the largest number that
should be allowed to run in one flock.
FOO many are usually kept together,
and room on the roOst is frequently
restricted. The roosts should be low
and level, aud not one above another.
like the rounds of ladder, as fowls
will all seek the highest roost. and
many will be crowded off and prob
ably injured by falling. Hens that
are accustomed to low roosts are less
inclined to scale fences, and may be
confined in pens with less trouble.
The ground under the roost should
be covered with loose gravel mixed
with loan, unless board floor is
used. It is better to have two yards
than one, as one may be cultivated
while the other is occupied. In this
way roots and forage mcy be grown
for the fowls on land festilized by
their droppings. An open shed is very
important, as affording protection
from cold in winter and heat in sum-
mer. Hens to be profitab BILE should
be carefully fed, and if they are we'll
cared for they will give profit. If
hens are fed on varied food they must
lay eggs. Glover hay finely cut is ex.
cellent for winter feeding in place Of
the green stuff they usually get in
summer. Close breeding will cause
the eggs to be infertile. Young fowls
| may pay better than old ones, but
| something depends upon circum-
stances, so far as age is concerned.
Brahmas should seldom be more than
| two years old if one is seeking the
greatest profit. Never keep more
than 100 chicks growing in the same
yard, and not so many if of different
ages. For sitting hens half barrels
without heads set in the ground halt
| their depth are excellent. Make nests
of hay on the earth; in cold weather
such nests exclude cold air beneath
| the eggs. In warm weather the nest
should be in a cool place. Sitters
should be kept by themselves to pre-
vent any annoyance from other hens

TRICKS OUR WATCHES PLAY.
Very Small Causes May Result in
Great Inconvenience to
the Owner.

Watches often suffer from changes
of temperature. After a watch has
been worn next to a warm body all day
it should not be left over night on cold
marble or near an open window. The
cold is likely to contract the metal
pivots, and, however slightly, tighten
up the works. The next morning,for
no apparent reason, ones watch will
be found to be losing time, says a
matchmaker.
1t frequently happens that watches
are slightly magnetized by static cleo
tricity given off by the human body.
It has been found that dark people
are more likely to exert this influence
over their watches. This influence is,
besides, more common among women
than with men. Persons of this sort
can never hope to carry the correct
time unless they carry their watches
in rubber or steel cases.
Never lay your watch down for the
night in horizontal position. It
should always be hung vertically, as
it is carried during the day. If the
pivot of the balance wheel be in the
least worn this change of position
tends to loosen the leap jewel"
Everyone has had watch suddenly
stop for no apparent reason and go on
again when slightly shaken. This may
not happen once year, but Ill watches
are liable to such an accident. This is
due usually to the catching of the deli
cate hair spring. 1t is caused by some
sudden movement, such as jumping
on or off car. The jolt must come at
the exact fraction of second when
the spring is in position to catch, so
that the chances of such an accident
are rare. A watch should be oiled
every IS months. The oil dries up in
this time as a rule and if the mechan-
ism be run with the oil dry it quickly
wears out.
In examining a watch all jewelers.
follow the same plan. They first look
to see if the hands are caught. If the
fault lies deeper they next take out
the balance wheel and examine the pin
and pivots. Next they let down the
1t sometimes happens that jeweler
will not find the cause of the trouble
for days. The most difficult disorder
to locate is a slight burr on one of the
wheels.
Many jewelers. have collected fees
for repairing watches when the
watches refuse to go merely because
they have run down. Women are said
to be the best customers of the watch
doctor, since they seldom wind their
watches regularly. A watch should be
wound early in the day, and not, az is
the common practice, at bedtime. The
reason for this is that the spring is
then tightest during the day while the
watch is being carried and is less sen.

USING DAMAGED FEEDS.
Grain Injured in Any Manner What
ever Should BE Fed Very Spar
fnSly to Farm Stock,

Bleached hay or straw has not the
feeding value of hay or straw hav-
ing its normal color and strength
Bleaching, caused by exposure to
weather, robs hay of its sweetness
and succulence, leaving sort of
dead roughness possessing compare
lively little feeding value. This loss
through exposure to the elements
likewise very materially Injuries
grains, extracting the soluble COM
pounds contained in them and render
ing them almost devoid of nutrition.
Just now many questions are being
asked as to the advisability of feed
ing grains injured in the manner in
dicated- The answer to those ques-
tons must be general rather than
specific, as so much depends upon the
degree and also upon the nature of
the injury that no answer can be
given that will meet the needs of
every case. 1t may be said with
safety, however, that wheat or other
grain that is badly musted or mold
ed is much injured for feeding. Such

ess that will tend to remove mold
from it will lessen the injury, but no
after treatment can make such grain
a frs t-class food again. Second, if
the grain is simply badly wrinkled
with the wet and discolored, its feed
ing value for stock would not seem
to be lessened. Third, if the wheat is
small and the grains so diminutive
and uneven in size in addition to the
disccloration, it still makes excellent
food for live stock. It*has a large
amount of bran relatively, and this
makes, it a safe food even when fed
alone. Damaged wheat may be fed
to sheep without being ground. For
cattle and swine it ought to be
ground. If such wheat has in It. oily

story of the DOyhOOd Days OF
King Louis XIII. of
| France.

One day, when the dauphin, after
ward Louis XIII, was five years old,
the duke Of Sully came out to St.
German well supplied from the
treasury with pocket-money for the
dauphin, says Mrs. Lucy Crump in
the Atlantic. The news of the super
intendent's arrival set the whole
household astir, eager for share
in the expected spoil. Nine. de
Monglat hurried the dauphin into the
great courtyard of the castle to re-
ceive Sully with as much honor as it
he had been the king himself. To
please the great man, the little prince
put his enfants .d'honneur and other
attendants through a drill with their
toy harquebuses and swords. At the
end of the show M. de Sully gave the
dauphin so crowns,~ which his mock
soldiers seized out of his hands 50
quickly that he had scarce time even
to feel them. At last but one piece
remained, which he held fast hold Of.

Monglat took it, gathered together
all the rest of the coins from the
reluctant hands of their possessors
and kept them all. The dauphin did
not complain, but soon after he said:

get any money! r ~.
Herouard always maintained that a
certain reluctance to both spend and
give, which characterized Louis in
later years, was the direct result of

largest crops of peas which they
have ever raised. They are now
working about one hundred and
seventy five hands and carrying a

fifty thousand cans of peas per day
and if the season which lasts about
five weeks tor peas, continues good,
they will furnish the American pea

of this favorable vegetable in for

reason the Atlantic peas are so uni

possible to accomplish what they
do in a single day. tits a most in
