POULTRY PARAGRAPHS,

Hens should be kept quiet and com
Portable.
Do not have the mash sloppy; it
should be crumbly.
If laying hens are confined they
should have meat or milk.
Allow as much exercise as possible
to all classes of poultry.
Unless fowl is very valuable it
does not pay to doctor it.
Sorghum and broom-corn seeds are
excellent as a variety feed.
Give your house plenty of fresh air
every day, winter and summer.
Milk may be protitably fed in any
form-sweet, sour or buttermilk.
The poultry house should be white
washed inside and out, roof and sides.
The time of Matching is of more
Importance than the breed, if YOU
want winter eggs.
Young ducks should be sold as
early as possible, and to that end
should be pushed to get their growth.

Timely s.gsestisns fer DsgianSss N
Beekeeping Whs Don't Thhnk
They Knew IL ALI.

The best queens ever owned were
Italians, evenly colored, very bright
golden, and of good size. Beware Of
the waspish, tapering queen that
shows one or two golden bands ana
the rest of the body very dark. They
ars not SO prolific as solid golden
queens and were not SO good workers
in ny apiary. Moreover, they were
ready to fight at every opportunity.
l prefer even color first, build next,
and the more golden the better.
Some beekeepers make q great ado
II anything is mentioned about q
different sized hive or section from
the one they are using. Such ideas
would keep us all in the ruts to-
gether. A difference in the size Of
hives Is very necessary to suit the
great variations of climate. A shall
low frame that would allow large
top surplus and winter the bees well
in the sunny south, where they are
confined in the hives only a few days
nt time, would be very risky where
the bees are confined from go to 80
days. 1t would not allow the bees to
form in cluster deep enough for
safe wintering.
Large sections are easily disposed
of among farmers, lumbermen and
those who labor in shops, but city
people who do light work like small
sections the best. have often
thought a section that could be re-
tailed for dime would meet with
much favor in the cities. Odd size
sections insure fresh made ones,
which are less liable to break than
standard make, which are sometimes
several years old and very brittle.
Square sections do not look well. All
the odd sizes l ever used were lit
tie longer than wide.
Those who intend to purchase a
site for an apiary should make a
thorough investigation to learn what
wild flowers or cultivated crops will
produce honey for several years
within a mile Of the apiary. The ex-
perience Of 40 years in bee keeping
has caused me t. believe there is but
very little honey gathered outside of
radius OF one mile from an apiary
il there is fair amount of fora
within that distance. OF the several
hundred lines of bees that have fol-
lowed to termination not half a
dozen went the distance of a mile

Feeding Meat to Poultry.

When feeding meat to hens do not
use that portion which is fat. The
object in feeding meat to hens Is to
supply them with nitrogen and not
fat, as the grain contains all the fat
and starch required for them. II the
fat is fed 1T does not assist in any
manner to provide material for eggs,
but rather retards than assists lay
ing. The cheap portions of beef, such
as the neck. are better for fowls than
the choicest fat and lean steaks.
Blood is excellent for fowls, and can
be easily fed to them by mixing it
with their soft food. The ordinary
ground meat contains both fat and
lean, and sells for about three cents
Q pound; but as the meat is subject
ed to heavy pressure at high tenn
perature most of the fat Is removed.

The tragedy that has occurred h the
Ford family suggests to me, writes
lawyer to the New York Sun, that
many parents make fatal mistake in
ignoring the rights of certain Of their
children in their wills. No matter how
much the conduct of child may dis
please the parent, that child should
not be cut out of the will entirely and
left with the proverbial shilling. Such
will, in most cases, creates terrible
family feud, and the result is generally
that the disinherited one becomes a
vagabond or drunkard. No matter
how wayward child may be, decent
sense of parental feeling ought to in
spire the parent to remember him
fairly in the making Of the will.

Washington before he was 25. Two
years after, in 1862, he became presi-
dent of the body. He was n member
of the levy court in 1867, and presi-
dent of the Citizens Reform associa-
tion in 1870. Then congress turned
Washington and the District of CO.

He was appointed governor Of the
district, and president of the board
of public works. He had always
borne the reputation of being n pro.
gressive, liberal, yet determined man.
Washington at this time was
drowsy, half-northern, half-southern
city. 1t had been laid out on liberal
lines but had never conformed to
them. 1t had no adequate building

in winter and dust distributors in
summer. Shepherd determined to

"Boss" Shepherd is coming back to
Washington. He has made q great
fortune in the silver mines Of Mex
leo, and returns to his native city
to spend his remaining days in peace.
He il 81 years of age, and enjoys the
distinction Of being the best loved
and best hated man that the capital
city ever knew.
Alexander H. Shepherds name will

the new Washington. After all is

perts who have planned the future

his sobriquet of boss" For three
years he was the absolute ruler of
Washington, and in that time spent
O.OOO,OOO in making it what it is to-
day.
Alexander II. Shepherd, says the
Philadelphia Press, is native of
Washington. He was born in the
'fats" January l3, 1885. His parents
were in ordinary circumstances. His
ancestors for $50 years had lived in
this country; some Of them fought
In the revolutionary war. Shepherd
himself was for time soldier in
the late war. His father became
well-to-do before his death, which
enabled the boy to obtain o pretty
fair education. He entered Colum-
bian university. But the executor OF
the estate, it is said, stole the money
and young Alexander started to learn
trade 20 help support the family.
Then he became a shoe salesman, and
later learned to be plumber and
gas filter. Within eight years Of en-
tering his apprenticeship he was
partner. Within the next IL years
he had built more than 400 houses
in Washington.

eruption of Mount
Pclce that the location of st. Pierre
was such that its security was COM
plete. TAcn something happened.
About 90 years ago, recalls Roswell
Field. in the Chicago Post, a learned
man of science wrote n beautifully
profound 'ytatise to prove that such
was the o.culiar location of Kansas
City that any tornado cloud formed
in the vicinity would be diverted by
ne air currents and carried along
the course Of two rivers. This, right
in the middle of the tornado season,
allayed the fears of the citizens until
two or three days later, when a tor
nado came bowling along from south
east Kansas and toppled over some of
the most distinguished religious and
commercial institutions in Kansas
City. We do not cite these incidents
in derision of science, or in order TO
scoff at truly wise men. We merely
rise to remark that we live to learn.

tors behind him. His mother was

Careful questioning revealed several
significant facts. One was thai for
years the boy had been allowed to
go to his mothers purse and help
himself whenever he chose, upon the
single condition that he told her
after he had taken the money. 1t
was also ascertained that for years
the father had frequently deceived
the mother through the son. 1t is
not strange that the boy had learned
his lesson. In the eyes of the teach

ot rrrvarication, rather than take
him home and let the neighbors sus-
pect the truth. "One of the sur
prisrs in administrative life at col
iege,' he says, sadly. "is the under
hand dealing of parents, not merely
with college officers, but with their
OWN sons" That is one side of the
picture. The other also he knows
the courage, the patience, the un-
wearying love of men and women
who, through all experiences, wheth-
er glad or sorrowful, stand side by
side with their children; parents
holding the standard high for their
sons and for themselves in every re-
milton of life; women, struggling in
silent loyalty, to free their children
from the iniquity of the fathers, and
men as tender as women, and as true
Ms truth itself" There are many
desirable things in life-many adj
rantages undoubtedly to which
wealth and culture and wisdom seem
TO hold the key. But there is some-
thing better than these; and the boy
or girl, young man or young woman,
no matter how poor, who has known
great home friendship, begins life
with the most priceless heritage
