POULTRY NOTES.

For soft-shelled eggs give lime water.
Fowls thrive best in high, dry local
tiles with sandy soil.
When chickens are droopy or weak
look for lice.
If you expect to have fried chicken for
the family set your hens early.
Light, nutritious and easily digested
food is what confined fowls require to
do well.
One way of losing money is to keep a
lot of cockerels long after they have
ceased to grow.
Under usual conditions a variety OF
food is better than any medicine that
can be given fowls.
The main thing in raising early broil-
ers Is to get them to weigh two pounds
az soon as possible.
Water enters largely into the compo-
sition of an egg, and it is therefore nee
essary that hens have plenty of 1t, pure
and clean.

KILLING THE WEEDS.

The work of killing weeds should be
made easy by such season as this.
Most of the weed seed near the surface
should germinate before the seeds for
the crop are sown or planted, and prep
aration of the ground should destroy
most of them, and the use Of light har-
row or weeder over corn and potato
fields, or the iron rake in the garden,
should kill the most of those that start
later, so when the time comes to use the
horse hoe or scuffle hoe among them
there will be but few to do battle
against. Not every one realizes how
much more work can be done with the
scuffie or shove hoe than with the old
pattern. Those who have not one
should not neglect to get one.-Ex-

At last l began to weary OF this, and
on rejecting that there were three
ways out of the garden, one by the
wicket leading into the Louvre, the Sec
ond near the Porte st. Honore and the
third at the Tour de Bois, I came to the
conclusion that II there was a spy
about he would have plenty Of chance
to escape. So consulted the oracle. I
picked Pompon up and let him drop on
the sward, determined to follow the
course he took. As he touched ground
the little beast gave q chuckle and
scampered across the grass in the direc
ton Of the river. In brief, It was the
river bank near the Tour de Bois that
the oracle pointed at, and I followed
Pompon across the hedge, and we went
noiselessly through tangled maze OF
brush and shrub and tree until we
came to the old city wall that ended
here OH the river face. No sooner had
we reached 1t than Pompon swarmed
up the wall. With the aid of friend

But my eyes were not idle. had q

watched like hawk from cliff. But
nothing came in sight except the slow
procession of boats passing up and
down the river and the crowd on the
opposite bank, like so many ants hur-
rying to and fro. was beginning to
despair and was laughing to myself at
nv oracle when little skiff that had
been hugging the shore on my side stole
quietly up and grounded softly on the
bank Just beneath me. There was only
one man within, but saw at a glance
he was not regular boatman Of our
river. He was too tall and dark and
had a foreign air about him. With the
aid of a towline he fastened the boat
to heavy stone, and then, throwing
his coat on his arm-for he was In his
shirtsleeves-he stepped up the bank
and sat contentedly down beneath the
yew tree.
"Ohow I muttered to myself. "The
oracle is working" Craning over, l
took another look at my man, but
could see little except his shoulders and
the top of his head. His coat, however,
was on the grass beside him, and on Its

l had not long to wait, maybe half

out from among the trees, and my

as shrilly. Then there was a moments

Spaniard, lifting his coat, prepared to
descend to the boat.
At first I could not recognize the

that they would stay and talk little
ere they went. But this was not to be.
When they had stepped into the boat,
however, and pushed off, D'Aramon
threw himself back in the stern and
laughed long and loudly to himself. AS
for the Spaniard, he said nothing, but
pulled steadily across the river, and

after referring to the progress CT consoll-

lows:
1.-The absorption of the smaller lines by
the larger ones will be, on account OF
the safeguards provided by the railway
laws of this state, beneficial rather than
otherwise to the people of the state. 1t
has had the effect not only of placing the
weaker lines in higher class, thereby re-
ducing the maximum freight rates propos-
ed by the board, but also of making a
continuous mileage rate in case of ship
ments that previous to this absorption
had to bear the burden of two or more
short distance or local rates"

WEsT-BOuND RATES WEAK.
More Money in Hauling Cheap
Freight Than Running Cars Empty.

The situation on west bound rates was
never in such a condition as at present.
SAID a prominent railroad man to 7 h e
Glob e yesterday. He claimed that the
shippers could get most any kind of a
rate they wanted on any stuff which they
had to move from the East. In many
Instances a cut of over 80 per cent was
being made.
The reason for these low rates was on
account of the large volume of east
bound business, and the roads believe
that there is money in hauling back some
freight in the cars than running them
empty While, of course, it might b.
clairnt 4 that the shipments would NOV e
