briefly a few of the beA
for poultry during the VIZ
OF course this would beN 5lble,
since the subject is one which requires
the greatest attention and limited
space will allow us to give in general
terms only the methods which have
given best results.
Poultry should be housed in clean,
warm houses, not too large, because
large houses are cold-and during the
day they should have access to a
scratching shed large enough to allow
all the fowls to scratch and hustle for
grain,
Their first food in the morning should
be small grain, oats or wheat, scat
tered in the litter, and the fowls
should be kept at work until noon. AT
noon a portion of scraps or soft food
should be given. but not enough to
satisfy them. Work is the secret of
success, and if we can get the hens to
hustle they will be sure to lay.-Home

With perishable goods, the producer
does well to seek the best nearest
market before the articles have
reached such a state of maturity that
they win endanger in transit; but with
farm products that can be kept in
definitely, the question of holding is
more complicated. Undoubtedly there
are extremes in holding too long, and
in rushing to market too early. Some
farmers are so convinced that holding
goods is bad policy, that they rush
products to market almost straight
from the field, and sometimes in only
half-ripe condition and with the soil
still clingina 0 them. That this is bad
policy has been demonstrated over and
over again. The first rush of almost
any farm product is overwhelming,
and prices quickly break.
In a season Of large yield this is more
apparent than when there is a scarcity.
Then every one is ure of a glut and
break in prices, and each one tries to
get ahead of all others. The result
is that they all get their goods in
market about the same time.
1t is far Better to hold off a few
weeks or months. Let sbe first glut
work itself out, and then hen prices
recover a little, ship the goods, but
never in very large quantities. 1t is
better to trust your crops In install
ments. A severe loss may thus be
saved. If prices are poor when you
ship them, the whole seasons crops
will sell for Improbable sums.
In holding goods the matter of
shrinkage must be considered. In the
case of hay and grain this amounts to
a good deal in the course of a few
months, but it is almost unimportant
when held only for a short time. New,
green hay never brings the same as
dry hay, and hesSie the question of
shrinkage is partlM discounted ahead.
The loss througlkomoulding, rotting
and decaying in one way or another
must be considered. If perfect stor-
age conditions are provided this loss
should be very little. but even then
there is more or less danger of loss
from rats, mice and insects. This must
be thoroughly discounted whenever
anything is held for five or six months.
In the cities mammoth storage
houses are erected for keeping all farm
products indefinitely. Spectators pur-
chase goods when prices are very low
and store in thesn houses for a rise
in price, payV awhile high rent
mission. Many farmers have
| that if these spectators and

&c GODS in winter, they could do

TN ) generally false reasoning for
the Simple reason that the storage
houses provide absolutely against any
loss from insects or rats, and to a
| large extent from shrinkage. The
| farmers cannot preserve their products
under similarly favorable conditions.
Moreover, the spectators are right
in the market ready at a moments no.
tice to take advantage of high prices,
to sell in enormous quantities. This
gives them an advantage over the

CANAL TREATY RATIFIED

ment by a Vote Of u 10 6.

Canal The Treaty Passed without
ANY AncndInent-The Negative Votes
Washington, d. C.-The second Hay
Pauncefote canal treaty has been rati-
! fed by the Senate yeas, u; nays, 6.
The opposition votes were cast by SEN
ators Bacon, Blackburn, Culberson,
Mallory, Teller aud Tillman. Two
other Democratic Senators, Bailey and
Rawiins, were paired against the
treaty, while four Senators. Daniel,
Jones, OF Nevada; Patterson and Quay,
were absent and impaired. !
As the treaty now stands, unchanged
from the text to which Secretary Hay
and Lord Pauncefote attached their
| signatures, it assures the United States
| complete control of the canal. Great
Britain asked this Government not 10
discriminate in the matter of tolls and
to guarantee the neutrality OF the ca
nal as against belligerents, hoth OF
which requests were granted. :
The United States, on the other hand'
secured the abrogatlon of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty without any considera-
ton therefor, and the elimination OF
the clauses prohibiting Notifications
and requiring the assent Of other ma
lions to the treaty. In short, Great
Britain secured what it asked and the
Tinted States got all 1t wanted, so that
there was no chance of friction. y
The ratification of the treaty paves
the way for the consideration of the
Canal bill. Senator Morgan, who will
retain his position as Chairman of the
Committee on Isthmian Canals is pre-
pared to bring this important legisla-
| tion 10 the attention of the Senate at
once. ne already has reported and

1t has been estimated that not less
than $500, 100000 is expended every
year in the United States for adyertis'
ing, chiefly in the newspapers. 1t is
also estimated that 100 years ago not
as much as 100000 a year was paid
for advertising. Then, and for many
years later, merchants and others adj
vertised mainly to help support the
local newspapers, and not to promote
business. Now nobody adverttses in a
spirit Of charity, but purely as c bust
ness proposition. Every advertiser
fully expects TO get profitable returns
from his advertising investment. That
the business men of this country ex'
pend millions annually for newspaper
space is the best kind OF proof that
newspaper advertising does pay.-Phil'

dams and to enable his
descendants to become Danes and
Daughters and Sons of all n OF
things, it was in a way that little be
tokened such future glory. 1t is sad
to record such things OF an ancestor,
but as a matter OF fact he was fairly
smuggled in from Virginia, where a
political difference with Governor
Berkeley had led to his enforced re-
tirement; and so little was his pres
ence desired in the Puritan colony
that only because of his splendid mill
tary ability was he allowed to remain.
For he, being by all accounts n spirit
ed party, gave the blue laws no more
attention than if they did not exist,
and in face of indignant public opinion
insisted on keeping Christmas after
the fashion of their commou mother
country.
But with King Philip and the Mar
ragansetts waging war it was impos-
sible to spare one who was both a
fearless and n skillful warrior; and be-
sides $50 say the ancient annals) his
sins brought their own punishment;
so terrible a one that the most ortho-
dox stood aghast, for his eldest son
his heir and his pride-married a red
headed witch, the daughter of q Dutch
emigrant. who had died just as his
vessel touched port. There was no
doubt about the w%itcheraft. She wore
CAV garments Of a strange cut, she
sang, in an unknown tongue, songs
of an uuearthly sweetness that held
passers-by s%pellbound near her tiny
cabin; she had wondrous skill in herbs
and simples; and, lastly, to clinch the
matter, there was the red head. But
The Younger John. who had Travelled,
5nly laughed at the tales when he
took her for his wife in defiance of
the world, and of his father to boot,
who. in spite Of his own contumacy,
desired no dealings with sorcery, and
who cut off his son with a shilling.
But one thing more went with it
namely, the old mans sword; for the
son. though unlimited, came to the
funeral and took 1t down from its hook
on the wall, declaring that of all the
sons he alone, as eldest, had the right
TO wear IT. And later, when he, too,
was dead, his daughter, being frivol-
ous. as became her parentage, melted
nm the gold hilt and ran it into beads,
and this deed added flame to the fami'
lv feud, which did not die out, as dc
most feuds, but burned on for two
long centuries. For in each generation

had been like her it is no wonder that
s man threw up lands and money for
her sake-at least so the living John
thought, and so before long he told
her, and they agreed that the feud
was nonsense, and became engaged,
her brother consenting.

The Penn's Grove record., 1901-12-20

Try as he would John could not
shake her from this position.
SO that is how matters stood with
John Pemberton when Christmas-time
the season of peace and goodwill
came around. No wonder that he
was pale and haggard.
The Christmas dinner could hardly
be called a cheerful meal, nor did
things brighten later when the young
man stood gazing silently out of the
window.
In the gathering dusk John thought
he saw a slender form run past the
easement window. Then just as he had
decided it was Imagination there came
a tap at the front door-a sudden ris-
ing and falling of TIE old brass knock

call the butler.[
