1t is gratifying to know that the
government is in earnest about the
encouragement Of forestry work; to
assist those who would make a tree
grow where there has been no tree
before, to see that when a tree falls
another is encouraged to come forth
in It's place, and preserve to the Amer
lean people tire great blessing Of
plenty of timber for all the purposes
to which it may be applied. Arbor
day is q great move and should be OBJ
served in every state in the union.
Perhaps we may have nc fear Of miss
ing ourselves the timber we destroy,
but the generations that are to come
will think as q wasteful lot, if We fail
to remember that there are others
than.our own selfish selves.

L. s. Crum, United States marshal
of Kansas, died at his home in Oswego
on the oath inst. after an illness of two
weeks. Orum was one of the early
patriots of Southern Kansas, was al

vancement, and a man among men.
To be his friend was to enjoy 3 privil-
ege any man might prize, for he was
loyal and true. To bis enemies II any

ant. He was q great politician, high
in the councils of his party for q quar-

was always alert to It's interests, and
whose friends never felt called upon

fair with them. All his neighbors
we're bis friends and his town bad no

Now that looks easy, as ! have at

sively, then another, until nave bred

market, but eggs. | have carefully

| put in a trough morning and night,
so they could get what they required
and after ten days they came back TO
an average of 20 to "a eggs per day.
AS summer and fall layers the non
sitting Mediterranean breeds excel at
that season, though the Black Lang
shan outranks all the other Asiatic
breeds from the fact that they are
more active and better hustlers.
They excel the popular Barred Ply

Sense Of responsibility Is Good

iday playing in the children's sand.
pile at country place they were Wis
iting. Before they got through they
had worked out a complicated system
OF mountains and valleys, and one
of them had modelled an almost recog-
niZable house. | know two other men
who, on a sudden impulse, bought
some marbles and played with con-
siderable enthusiasm on n garden
path. In each instance the day and
the mood had something to do with
it. None of the men was childish.
They were striving To catch once more
a glimpse of 'the glory and the dream"
to reattain, for a time, the old sense
of responsibility. This was not dis
creditable. fancy that many parent
secretly does the same thing when he
enters into the playroom activities of
his children, or takes them TO the cir
cus-always to amuse them. And If
after all. we must sadly admit that
We cannot gatb;sr up the rainbow gold
of childhood, IL will not hurt us to
be irresponsible once in a while along
with the children. In the Catskill
woods, on the water. or galloping on
country roads-wherever we do not
mistake hectic excitement for true
happiness, the play instinct is the
samoa brief escape from RESPONSE
bility; short respite from things that
we must do and want to do, but are
willing to leave now and then because
we know We shall love them the more
when We return to them.-The Great

Cornish Indian Games.

Game fowls were imported into Eng
land from India in the early part OF
the last century. Many were Aseels or
Aseel Indians. the purest OF Oriental
type. They were then, as they are to-
day. very muscular and compact in
form, low stationed and OF medium
size, with various colors, including
gray, white, black, buff, mottled and
laced. From the earliest OF these I'M
portations and other fowls from the
same source, though not so pure in
blood, II is said the STANDARD Black
Breasted Red Malay was produced by
careful selection and breeding. AS
early as 1870 Cornish Indians APP
peared in the shows Of England.
though at that early date II is not to
be expected they were OF uniform
type and color, owing TO the difference
in the ancestry of the fowls exhibited
by the various breeders. But the ex-
changing of fowls among the fanciers
for new blood and careful selection in
breeding soon brought about won
derful Improvement and the type be-
came as fixed and permanent as that
OF any fowl being bred to-day. trio
OF Cornish Indian fowls was imported
into this country In September, 1877.

Avoid Lice.

When incubators and brooders are
being used in the rearing OF chicks
every caution is necessary TO keep
old hens away from the brooders. IL
they are allowed to run in the same
locality or If the chicks of hens and
the chicks from the breeders be per-
mitted TO run together 1t Is almost
certain to produce an epidemic of lice.
One of the great advantages of rails
ing chicks In breeders is that no lice
are present. This advantage should
be maintained. Won Culin says: I'VE
have known a whole section OF brood
or houses to be filed with lice by
placing single brood OF eleven
chicks, whose mother died, in a
brooder with other chicks. The new.
corners were not suspected OF being
lousy, and the lice multiplied and
sLread through all the adjoining yards
and rooms before being discovered.
We have also known roup to be spread
in the same manner--in one instance
breaking up the establishment. In
the latter instance the proprietor was
warned, but he knew 1t all, and had
IL all his own way. Things that seem
small or trifiing sometimes make ire
mendous results. BY watching and
directing small matters we control
greater ones.

Development Of eroiIers.

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 quantities. Soft food is
also said To be not entirely suitable.
When the birds have attained weight
of a pound or pound and a half they
may be given fattening food. The
time during which this need be given
will be so short that no bad results
need come from II.
