THE CHICKEN YARD.

No henhouse that is frequently dust
ed with lime will be infested with lice.
Lime purifies the quarters and. dries
them. 1t is cheap and should be used
plentifully.
Always have the nests so low that
the hens can step in rather than be
obliged to jump down.
If the fowls get too fat, oats as sin
gle food are one of the best grains that
can be given to lessen fat.
Mating birds to breed to feather is
a high art, to be acquired only by long
practice, aided by close study.
A fiat perch is best because of being
the most comfortable to the feet and
the best support to the breast.
There are three breeds of fowls that
are pre-eminently valuable as egg pro-
ducerS. These are the Minorcas, Leg
horns and Black Spanish.
A medium sized active male is twice
as valuable as one that is large and
extra heavy. If large size and weight
are desired, select large hens. but the
male should be active and vigorous.
When fowl has canker and the
mouth and throat are sore and ulcer
ated wrap soft rag around lead
pencil, dampen it slightly, dip in chic
rate of potash and swab out the mouth
clean and inject drop of turpentilic.

Bayfield, county is one of the

much hunting done here as in

there have been the most flag

but as there has been no one

cute, no attention has been given

Put Through His PAGES.

The wealthy Briton is confessedly
the most fastidious man living as to
the quality of his personal domestic
service. The concentrated energy with
which an Englishman will rebuke his
servant for an offense so slight that
the average American fails to observe
1t bears out the above statement, and
it is this social condition that has de-
veloped the hyperaristocratic intelli-
gence office in London.
Those who propose changing sery-
ants are not content with references
and a perfunctory interview with the
man or maid under consideration, but
insist upon full dress rehearsal Of
both manners and appearance.
The servant in livery is put through
all his PAGES, must display the size Of
his calves, the haughtiness of his pose,
as we'll as breeding in handling a
card. announcing a guest or serving at
the table.
Nothing is taken for granted. The
master and the mistress sit by and dis
cuss the points of groom or butler as
they would those Of high priced horse
or valuable dog. Domestics are taken
with great seriousness by the upper
class Englishmen, and for that reason
nothing is left to luck in peopling the
servants hall.--Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Ffgkting SsvordAa h.

The swordfish is utterly without fear
and will, like a buffalo or rhinsceros,
charge anything that offends it, often
doing an amount Of execution hardly
to be believed did not the evidence ex-
list. Combats between swOrdfish are
most interesting and may be compared
to duel between two expert swords
men. Such a contest was observed
off the long pier that extends out into
the ocean at Santa Monica, near Los
Angeles, last year. Some fishermen
noticed two big fish leaping out of the
water and dashing along the surface.
Soon it was seen that they were sword
fish.
The season was when the fish are un-
usually ferocious. They had made sew
eral rushes and when observed were
at close quarters, striking each other
powerful side blows like cavalrymen.
This was unsatisfactory, and finally
they separated and darted at each 9th
err like arrows, the water kissing as
their sharp dorsal fins cut through it.
They evidently struck head on, one
missing, while the sword of the other
struck just below the eye and plowed
deep furrow in the fish, partly dis
abling it, so that it turned and attempt
ed to escape. But it's adversary also
turned and with a rush drove it's sword
completely through the body of it's foe
and held it fast. only wrenching it's
weapon loose when it's enemy stopped
swimming.-San Francisco Call.

The Highest Court.

The Denver Times says that when
Tom Bagnell was justice of the
peace at Altman, the highest incorpo-
rated town in the country. standing
10000 feet above the sea level,
he had occasion to fine a disorderly
character $40 and costs. The victim of
the operation of justice objected to the
finding of the court and announced
that he would take an appeal.
What? Appeal would you? asked
the astonished court. You can't come
any O. that. now. This is the highest
court in the United States. and you
can't appeal"

A Rejected Favor.

When the German emperor was at
school at Cassel, he and his brother,
Prince Henry. lodged. in an old castle
near. but in the school the two boys
were treated exactly like any other
youngsters. On one occasion, it is re-
lated. MASTER knowing that Prince
William was backward in Greek and
wishing to curry favor with him. told
him secretly what the subject of the
next days examination would be-.
Early next morning the prince went
into the classroom and wrote the in
formation on the blackboard in huge
letters. not wishing to have any unfair
advantage over his schoolfellows.
