CoopIne and Feeding Chicks.

l do not have any particular style or
coop-a good roof and bottom of boards
always made so that it can be cOnyen-
iently cleaned. Twenty chicks to hen
l think about right The Coops are
placed near the house for convenience
while the chicks are young, moving
them farther away as they grow older.
At about or 6 weeks they are located
near blue grass pasture, with a mum
ber Of apple trees for shade. Here
they have range until cold weather
drives them into winter quarters.
Ny first food for little chicks IS dry
wheat bread moistened with sweet
milk. This is good enough for the first
day. The second day oatmeal and mil
let seed are given, with mica grit. They
get water from the start. Up to
weeks old their food IS bread moistened
in milk, millet seed, oatmeal, corn
bread baked as for the table and crack
ed wheat After they are weeks old
] discontinue the oatmeal and bread
and milk and feed millet seed, whole
wheat and cracked corn, with corn
bread for breakfast, baked the day be-
fore. After the chicks are 2 months
old l feed a bran mash consisting OF
one-third each Of ground oats, corn and
wheat bran, moistened with milk, clab-
Der or sour milk preferred. This l feed
in the evening, all they will eat.
| follow this method Of feeding the
old fowls, believing the evening the
proper time for soft food. For late
hatched broods (say the last of June or
first Of July hatchcs) l know of no
place better for cooping than near
cornfcld, with a clover meadow near
by. The corn furnishes plenty Of shade
through the warm days, and the clover
field supplies grasshoppers. / have had
good results from late broods raised in
this manner.-O. l.. King.

use of Gold on China.

The popularity Of gold does not seem
10 be confined to the costume. 1t has
returned TO all It's Oldcn prominence in
tableware and furniture and in the for
mer is used more largely than ever be
fore. In the new importations it ap-
pears everywhere. The plain band OF
gold IS no longer so highly regarded,
and the preferred style is the cQmbina-
tion OF gold with rich, new colorings.
The principal colors in the best
French china are soft tints Of green,
blue. canary and crushed raspberry,
with ivory often as a ground, says the
New York Tribune
One Of the latest decorative designs
IN fine Limoges is the iris in natural
shadings, especially the purple variety.
The long, slender leaves and the flow
ing curves Of the blossom lend them
selves with peculiar ease to china dec
oratlon. In many cases these are out
lined by narrow pencilings Of gold or
are imposed upon a gold ground.
Some charming small dishes, such as
bOnbon and olive trays, are Of white
china, lined with gold, and make ex-
tremely pretty bits Of table decora-
ton, Larger pieces in plain white and
gold are useful to substitute for dish
broken when the set cannot be match
ed. They always look we'll and har-
monize with anything in tableware,
The gold used is no longer the bright
finish, but the dull, except when com.
bined with cOlors as in that case the
color deadens the gold.
Even TO cut glass does the gold craze
extend, some Of the newest having the

decorated sherbet glass with saucer

decoration more extensively than ever

PILL5BURY TO RETIRE.
American Chess Champion to Be

American Chess Champion to Be
come Lawyer.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
the professional career of Harry n.
Pillsbury as a chess player will come
to an end in about two years, after
which he proposes to devote himself in
earnest to the study Of law.
Before that happens however, some
important events are likely to take
place. not the least of which will be a
match for the championship Of the
world with Laskcr Wucn the latter
was in New York three months ago, he
and Pillsbury had Il private confab,
and the subject of match between
them was touched upon. Nothing def
mite can be had concerning this inter
esting affair until the American cham
piOn goes to Europe which he intends
to do early in 1902, TO be gone a year
or more.
PiIlsbury's fourth tour of this coun-
try will be a brief one, beginning about
the 1st Of September and lasting until
Jan. /, when he and Mrs. PillSbury viii
sail for England. While abroad he viii
enter all the large tournaments in Eu-
rope including those at Hanover,
Monte Carlo and Berlin, and will also
tour the continent.
When Pillsbury leaves the profession
al arena for good there will be no one
TO take his place in the realm of blind
fold chess, for here he has done what
no one else ever attempted. His record
Of 20 games simultaneously without
sight Of boards or men stands alone,
aside from the fact that he is able to
combine both checkers and whist with
his blindfold chess playing. The cham
pion has such a mastery over the art
that he is confident of his ability to
handle no less than 80 games of chess
In this manner. 1t is a feat lie is eX-
pectcd to accomplish before lie retires.

LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.
THEIR GREAT VALUE AS ADVERTIS-
ING MEDIUMS.

GO Directly 10 the Home and There
Is No Waste Circulation - Read
From End to End-Points For Ad-
Vertisers to Consider,
The suburbauite seizes local news
with avidity. Families who are known
TO be peaceable and law abiding VIII
frequently skirmish with edged tools
for the first reading of the weekly pa
per, says Henry E. Snow in The M
tional Advertiser. And don't for Il mo-
ment believe, reader, but what the pa
per is well thumbcd after the last mem
ber Of the family has absorbed the To-
cal news But that is not all. The pa
per IS filed for future reference. Even
the cook is interested, and you won't
find her using the local newspaper 10
kindle the kitchen fire with. She wants
to read it also.
There was time when the tallOw
candle posed for luxurious lighting
and the town crier with his bell served
as the distributor of news, but that
was In the dark ages. What the eleC-
trio light is TO the tallow candle the 10
cal newspaper IS to the town crier to-
day. In both cases the evolution has
been perfectly natural and brought
about by the law OF supply and de
mand. The gossip of the town, once
retailed around the old iron stove at
the corner grocery, Is just as interest
ing today as II was then. Human nQ-
ture hasn't changed much in the last
hundred years, and human nature
won't change much in the years to
come.
The local newspaper spreads the To-
cal happenings of the town for the day
or the week in less time than a single
item of news Travelled by word of
mouth years ago. The local newspaper
exists because it is a necessity. 1t Will
continue to exist because it will con-
tinue to be necessity for all time.
The writer lives In a suburban town
and knows whereof he speaks when he
states most emphatically that the value
of the local newspaper to an advertiser
consists largely in the eagerness with
which the paper is read from beginning
TO end-from the top left hand column
on the first page to the bottom right
hand column on the last page. More
over, after the first outburst Of energy
has subsidcd over the local happenings,
the reader falls naturally into the habit
of reading whatever else the pages con-
tain.
Advertisers do not use the local pa
per enough, and If they use it at all
they figure its advertising space so low
that it scarcely pays for the work of
the compositor who sets the advertise
ment.
The local paper goes into the home.
Please remember that. There is no
waste circulation to it because there
can't be. Nine-tenths OF the people
who read II are subscribers who pay
their subscription by the year The
local paper IS not generally sold in the
railroad train or on the electric cars or
at the newsstands. You must subscribe
for 1t If you want to get II, and when
you get 1t you are in your own home.

Above the door of every poultry
house should be written this motto:
Utility is the science and beauty the

Every poultryman can provide shade
for his birds even if he can do no bet

solutely necessary for young chicks to
have cool shelter from the hot rays
of the sun.

ARBOR DAY.

State of North Dakota, Executive
Department, Bismarck, By the Gov
ernor.-Arbor Day Proclamation. y
The custom Of setting apart a day in
spring for the planting Of trees has
been attended with such beneficent re-
suits in promoting and preserving Of
forest growth, that the observance of
Arbor Day, has grown to be an almost
universal practice in our prairie states.
In keeping with this custom I do there
fore designate Friday, May 10, as Ar
hor Day for the state Of North Dakota,
and recommend that all our people. de-
vote the day to the planting and care
or trees and shrubs about their homes
and public buildings. Let the exer-
cises in the public schools on that day
be directed to promote the knowledge
OF the planting and care Of trees and
the value of a forest growth upon our
unbroken plains.
Given Under my hand and the great
seal OF the state OF North Dakota, the
10th day of April, A. D. 1901.
