FaffenInu the Broilera

Choice broilers bring high prices
but it is not an easy matter to fat
ten broilers, as the food makes then
grow instead of fattening. Then
again, to force them may result in
leg weakness, bowel disease, etc. Dc
not begin to fatten until they are six
or seven weeks old. and then allow
them time to fatten. Feed three
times a day, and scatter one gill of
millet seed in litter between meals.
Here is an excellent fattening food:
Melt one pound of crude tallow in
one-half gallon of boiling water.
While boiling thicken with a sufficient
quantity of the following 10 form a
stiff dough: One quart of corn meal,
one quart Of ground oats, one quart
Of middlings, one pint of ground
meat, one half pint of linseed meal
and one tablespoonful of salt, well
mixed and fed all that will be eaten
clean, allowing no food TO remain
over.-Farm and Fireside.

PARASITES ON POULTRY.
CnmphOr Balls, Says One Writer. Are
Sure Death to Red Mites and
other Species of Lice.

A poultry raiser, who for several
years experimental with various insec-
ticides in search of reliable remedy
for thelttle red mites and the various
species of the hen body louise that in
tests the nests Of sitting hens, could
find nothing effective till he tried cam
phor balls, says Farmers Guide. He
says he has had the hens leave the
nest before the eggs were hatshed,
completely covered with these pests,
and has taken OF many broods Of
chickens when he would find half
dozen or more big white lice on their
little heads, and this. too, after hav-
ing busted the hen and nest well sew
cral times during the incubation with
various kinds of insect powders.
The balls are perfectly harmless TO
the hen and chicks and the hen with
her brood of chicks will leave the nest
absolutely free from lice. Make your
nest and put in the eggs, and at the
same time place in the nest with the
eggs one camphorated ban. which is
suiicientfor the entire incubation, and
your hen and little chicks will leave
the nest free from all kinds of YER
min. When you have placed the little
ball in the nest you need not bother
any more. 1t will evapoFate and get
TO be very small toward the latter
part of the incubating; but never
mind, IL has done its work.
Since using the camphor ball he has
not raised a single chick with scaly
legs. it is a good idea TO keep one
of the balls in the nest where the
hens lay, as it keeps them free from
vermin. The camphorated ball is a
little white ball, and can be had from
any drug store.

A. TO the Color OF YoIIss.

When fowls are deprived of green
food the yolks Of their eggs are very
pale yellow. These are much valued
for cake baking. Some people have the
notion that these pale yolks denote in

sify the color Of the same. Again, many
think that a blood spot on the yolk is a
sure sign Of a bad egg But this is not
necessarily so, for at times this spot Is
deposited upon the yolk from rupture
caused as it passes the oviduct and is
present In the egg when perfectly fresh.
This fact shows the necessity OF test
ing even fresh eggs by candle prior to
packing for market; for while these
spots do not really injure the eggs, peo-

OF Prince.

OF all the sweet. true love stories
that have come down to us from anti
guilty none is more charming than that
of Philippine Welser, wife of Ferdi-
nand. archduke of Austria and count
Of the Tyrol. writes Annette L. Noble,
nearly 400 years her memory is kept
green and her picture is found today
in almost every house in Innsbruck.
Philippine was born in the city OF
Augsburg. Bavaria, and grew up to be
one of the most beautiful women OF her
day. When she was II the famous
Diet of Augsburg, where the first Prot
estant confession of faith was pre-
sented to the Emperor Charles ", was
held and it was then that Ferdinand
first saw the beautiful girl. 1t was a
case of mutual love between them.
But the Emperor, the proud grandson
of the great Maximilian, interposed
and threatened Ferdinand that If he
married Philippine he would never be
received at court. Ferdinand was not
deferred. He was by right Count of
Tyrol and among his possessions was
a delightful old castle, high above the
valley in which lay the city Of Inns

took her in the sunshine OF her youth
to his castle, where she lived, beloved
by her people. until death claimed her
80 years later.
The only cloud which ever darkened
the married life of Philippine was the
Emperor's coldness. For herself she
did not care, but she deeply felt for
her husband and their two boys, all
OF whom were excluded from the i'm
perial favor. She begged her husband
to make peace for them and for him

Of rocky hill commanding the en-
trance to the canyon. The battle went
on for hours. One Of the scouts fell
some two score yards from where Chat

Chaffee's elbow remarked that the
fallen man was done for, but the ma
jor saw that he was only wounded.

him in
Then he threw himself fiat on the
ground and crawled toward the
wounded soldier. The scout followed.
Slowly and painfully Chaffee and his
companion, in the face OF concen
trated fire from all the Indians, worked
their way to the wounded man and half
carried. half dragged, him back within
the lines. The handful Of troopers on
the rock thrilled with the deed that
had been performed. forgot the task in
hand, stopped fighting and began to
cheer. This made Chaffee furious, and
he shouted at the top of his voice:
Shut up that noise and go on shoot

fighting Indians, Chaffee's men again
turned their attention to their carbines

they cross it going east they lose one.

Prof. Gustave Bischof Of the Glas-
cow university has invented new
process for the manufacture Of white
lead. His plan is the conversion OF
metallic lead into litharge. by means
Of water gas at temperature OF 3Oe
degrees centigrade, to suboxide. Sum
cient water is then added to moisten
this suboxide, which is converted into
hydrate. This substance isthen inserted
into gas-tight apparatus. and by
means of carbonic and diluted acetie
acid manufactured into white lead.
Under the old process white lead oc-
cupied from two to three months in
its manufacture, but Prof. Bischof il
enabled to make a purer article within
less than forty-eight hours at much
cheaper price and with perfect safety
to the employees.
