MlSTOOK HIS MAN..
\ Cautious American Tourist and His
 Travelling Companion.

A cautious American travelling from Paris to Nice some years ago found n stranger in the compartment in which he had secured berth.
 Are you Mir. -" said the stran- ger.
 The American In surprise answered aflirmatively.
 "Haw said the stranger. q inquired at the booking office who was to be my travelling companion"
 The American realized that this was no ordinary man and soon found him. self almost hypnotizcd by the stran- gers commanding eye.
 When the man proposed cards, the American suspected that he was pro. fessional gambler. He made many ex- cuses. finally saying tat he cared for none of the games which his compan- lon suggested.
 All right" was the discomforting reply; "we'll play anything you like"
 When the American mentioned an obscure French game, which he hoped the other would not know, and found his suggestion taken up eagerly, he was more than ever suspicious.
 But" asked the American, do you know how to play it?"
 "No," was the reply, "but you can teach me-"
 The American now had little doubt that the man was card expert, look ing for victim, but, as no suggestion of high stakes was made, he concluded to venture and after some hours play Ing had seen nothing on the part of his fellow passenger that looked like cheating.
 But when next morning his compan- ion suggested that they play again to while away the time the American grew suspicious again and pleaded a headache.
 When they entered the station at Nice, the man handed the American his card. It bore the name of Lord Russel of killowen, lord chief justice of England.-Youth's Companion.

Vanity Tlckled.

During the early eXcesses of the French revolution q rabble of men and women were rioting in the streets of Paris. Lafayette appeared and ordered a young artillery officer to open fire upon them with two cannon. The of ficer begged the general to let him try first to persuade them to withdraw.
 Tt is useless to appeal to their req son." said the general.
 Certainly" answered the officer, "and it is not to their reason, but to their vanity. would appeal"
 The officer rode up to the front of the mob. doffed his cooked hat. pointed to the gurs and said:
 "Ge:ltlemen will have the kindness to retire, for am ordered to shoot down the rabble."
 The street was cleared at once. for none could brook the idea of being classeG with the scum of the city.

DOWN AN INCLINE Fearful Dash Made by a Runaway Car in Kansas City

A cable car crowded with passengers got away from the gripman at the top of the steep Ninth street incline at the Union station Kansas City at o'clock Friday evening and dashed to the bottom at terrific speed, crashing into train that had become stalled there. The passengers were hurled in every direction and the grip car on the runaway train and the rear coach of the other train were reduced to a mass of twisted iron and splinters.
 w. B. Taylor, the gripman on the first train, was killed instantly and at least twenty persons were injured, perhaps six of them seriously. Albert

A Desperate Prisoner

George L. Tindall, convicted last week at Stockton of assault to murder for firing four shots at his wife, was sentenced Thursday morning to serve eight years in San Quentin prison. When being returned to jail Tindall took off his coat, and when clear of the courthouse dashed from between two officers and ran toward the head of Stockton channel. He was pursued by four officers and crowd of citizens and was caught after a swift sprint of l00 yards. When caught he screamed: 70 let me to the slough the slough :" He was ironed and taken to the iail. where it is suspected he will attempt suicide.

We give here good likeness OF
Harry H. Collier, editor of the Pacific
Poultryman and secretary of the Ia
coma Poultry Association. Mr. Collier
began the publication of the Pacific
Poultryman in November, 1896, and it
is now the only poultry paper publish
ed in the state.
In connection with the mention Of
Mr.. Collier, it would be well to say
that the Tacoma poultry show which
will be held December 20 to January
8, will be the only show held in the
Puget Sound country this year. The
prizes offered at this show are, $3.50
for first, $1.00 for second and 75c for
third on cock, cockerel, hen and pullet.
With a prize of $400 for first, $3.50
for second and $1.00 for third on pens;
$500 for the one making the largest
display of poultry and $500 for the
one exhibiting the largest display OF
pigeons. Catalogue and entry blanks

VETCH COMING TO THE FRONT.

In a recent letter to the OregOnian
Mr.. Thos. Withycombe, of Farming
ton, Oregon, called attention to the
great usefulness of the common vetch
or tare as forage plant in Western
Oregon. On a plot which had been
heavily MANFRED with cow-manure he
soWed last fall one bushel of vetch
seed and one bushel of wheat. He cut
this year about 80 tons of forage per
acre from the tract. He has depended
upon vetches for soiling his COWS for
many years, and often cuts the same
piece three times in the course of the
season. MIR. Withycombe appears to
prefer to call the plant "tares." In
view of the fact that the seedsmen all
catalogue the common vetch as the
spring vetch," it would perhaps be
better to adopt the name tare or tares
for it, The hairy vetch which is cat
alogued as the winter vetch is a less
useful plant for Western Oregon. A
gentleman from Southern Oregon who
raised vetches for many years in
England, has called attention to the
fact that there are two varieties of
vetches-fall or winter, and spring.
Some years ago the Oregon Agricultur-
list published an article written by an
authority in England, which described
number of varieties of both fall and
spring vetches. All of these, however,
are sub-varieties of the common vetch,
viola saliva, which is catalogued in
this country as the spring .vetch. The
strain grown here is a true winter
vetch although it does moderately we'll

cannot always hold the most desirable
breed shape in your fowls. The heavy
egg producers seem to grow away in
some cases from what might be called
exhibition form; as, for instance, the
best exhibition Brahma or Cochin may
not be such prolific egg producers as
some of this kind that are not so per-
feet in show type or form.
The profuse plumage on the ey
ton Cochin or Brahma detracts from
their egg production, but for producing
exhibition specimens such high-class
specimens are invaluable. This shows
the plain meaning of like producing
like" If for prolific egg production,
breed only from strong, heavy layers;
if for exhibition, breed from the very
highest quality producers of the best.
If this same line is carried out for
size, shape, color, type, or egg produc-
ton, and selections made at all times
to conform to that we wish to pro-
duce we can gain the desired end
providing we keep at it till the de-
sired feature is thoroughly stamped
into the blood lines of your stock. 1t
is useless to hope to gain all these OF
even part of them in one year or even
two. Keep gaining by hunting out and
discarding all that is undesirable and
holding to the good only.

GULL OUT THE FOWLS OF POOR
EST QUALITY.

One continual hunt should be kept
up amongst your flock of fowls to Gull
out poor quality, poor layers, and non
producers. The only way to make
fowls pay is to have none but the best.
Only have and keep the very best OF
all you have now or may have. Gull out
all the time the poor egg producers If
you wish a large egg yield. Ii your
desire is to have clear, pure white
fowls Gull out and get rid of all that
have the least faint of any bad color
in plumage; or, in other words, Gull
out and get rid of every feature that
is undesirable in your flock and only
keep the good quality that is in line
with your wish as to quality of pro-
ductiOn.
Follow this plan throughout the
whole year. If it is a large egg-yield
that you desire, hatch only from hens
that lay the largest number of eggs,
and use males only that come from
large egg-producers. In this way you
will root out all the sluggards and non
producers, and it is possible to add
considerable each year to your average
egg production, but in doing this you

DEVELOPMENT OF BROILERS,

The broiler should not be fed from
the first with the idea of making him
fat What he needs at the outset
of his career is food that will make
frame and muscle. Corn and corn
meal should not therefore be given
in any large quan....es. Solv food is
also said to be not entirely suitable.
When the girds have attained a weight
of a pound or pound and a half they
may be given -attening food. The
time during which this need be given
will be SO short that no bad results
need come from it.

rules are valid. This difference of
view, it may be suggested, invites a
review by the circuit court of appeals.
Defendants also claim that by long
use they are entitled to pasturage up
on these lands, and cite Buford VS..
Houtz, 1873 U. S. 800 in support of
such claim. That case only says on
page 326, that unenclosed lands of
the government may be used for pas
turage by the people, when No act
of the government forbids their use.'
In the present case the government
has forbidden their use. Moreover as
laches cannot be invoked against the
government, long use by the defend
ants gave them no title. This defense
is not tenable."

1t is well enough to talk about the
farmers cooperation with experiment
stations in the work of testing new
seeds, grasses, ETC., but this will al
ways be mostly talk. Farmers who
amount to anything are pretty fairly
busy men. The days when they had
to do the experimenting with untried
things or not have the experimenting
done, have gone forever We now have
experiment stations and sub-stations
with well paid men in charge of them,
and these men well provided with
acres, tools and teams, and seeds
from the ends of the earth; and to
them we look for needed experiment

PAULHAMUs' POULTRY FARM.

The poultry farm or w. I'll. Paulna-
mus, in Pierce county, Washington, is
one of the most perfect of its kind in
the Northwest. 1t is stocked with
Brown Leghorn and Barred Plymouth
Rock chickens and geese, ducks and
pigeons. The runs are large and in
clude a big raspberry field in which
the fowls roam and eat grass. weeds
and bugs. Modern coops are built for
each group and the greatest care is
exercised in the feeding and watering.
In case of disease the fowls are taken
to an isolated hospital and cared for
until they die or are convalescent.
The poultry coops are on the cheap
est and most economical plan. Each
one is arranged to hold about fifty
hens. There is only one side on which
light is admitted. The doors are in
the ends and the buildings are of the
shed roof style. Nest boxes are in the
ends of the buildings and under the
roosts. which are made so that they
may be cleaned every day. The perch
es are about four inches above the
roosting floor, which is probably four
feet from the ground. These are made
by boxing three pieces of board, about
four inches wide, and mailing to the
roosting floor.
Two wire enclosed runs, about 20 by
SO feet are arranged outside the coops.
The first feed of the day is given in
the coOps or houses. The second feed
ing of grain is put in low rooted sheds
or boxes, having fresh straw about
one foot deep placed on the floors.
The hens are made to- scratch in the
straw for their monday meal. This
gives them the required exercise and
forces them to be busy throughout the
hours of the forenoon and portion of
the afternoon. The last feed is CIV
en- in another yard, attached to the
one next the coOps. All of these are
surrounded by a six foot wire fence,
having a plain wire at the top to hold
the netting in place.
A series of coops and pens are
placed in rows, with wires between
them. If disease enters one pen it
may not go to another. In case of
hen getting sick she is placed in a
hospital which is a small pen with
wire on one side. Here medicines are
given and the sick one nursed. If she
dies the body is removed at once and
buried. If hen shows a quarrelsome
disposition or wants to set, she is put
in a Jail. This is a close place with
wire netting for sides. There are no
dark corners in it and no place where
a nest could be made. A short time
in this prison cures all kinds of con-
trariness.
The chickens are Matched in incu-
bators and the young ones are kept
away from the pens where the hens
are laying They are fattened as soon
as possible and put on the market as
broilers. The market price for such
chickens is rs cents a pound. Eggs
