POULTRY POINTERS.

Game chickens have more meat in
proportion to their height than any
other breed of fowls.
When the chickens are growing fast,
it is a good plan TO mix little bone
meal in their soft feed
Smearing whole wheat with kerosene
or turpcntine and feeding it to the
chickens is Il good remedy for gapes.
Adding some carbolc acid and put
ting on hot will secure much better re
suits from the withdrawing of the
poultry house.
While it is at no time advisable to
keep food of any kind before the fowls
all the time. it will be an advantage to
keep milk where they can drink all
they want.
Fowls do not run together in large
numbers They will always divide into
flocks of small size and will select diff
fercnt feeding grounds, always pro
vided they have the opportunity.
y growing chicken, like a growing
animal, requires plenty of good, whole

A SERMON TO SUIT.

Many Maine people who live in a

Abncr.

How TO lie when sleeping.

The correct posture for sleep is 20 lie
on the right side. with the limbs stretch
ed out 10 their full length and the arms
either straight down 10y the body or IN
any comfortable position provided they
are not raised above the head. The
mouth should be- closed. and all the
muscles of the body should be relaxed.
The lungs work with greater dcliber-
alton during the hours of sleep. and II
The arms are raised above the head at
this time and for any period the ac-
ton OF the heart drives the blood away
from the arms and sends it TO the head,
frequently making one very restless
when it does not prevent sleep entirely.

THE OLD TIME DERBY.
And How 1t Differs From the Meet Of
These Rushinl: Days.

hEHG
1t is strange, indeed. to look back up
on the manners and customs of the rae
ing world in the year of the first Derby
and contrast them with the new meth
DDS. In 1850 there was the journey
down to the little Surrey town. and a
coachman thought himself lucky if he
could force his way from Westminster
to EPSON i'm twelve or fourteen hours
without disludging Il wheel en- route.
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all, for those were
DAYS when tradesmen thought, like
John Gilpin. an outing once in two
years as much as they could afford.
In those days. too, a visit to EPSON
meant making a week of it. Lodgings
had to be taken in the town by those
who were not fortunate enough to be
invited to share the hospitality of some
local magnate. Racing began about IL
a. M, and after witnessing one or two
heats the company would retire TO the
town to dine, returning later to witness
the conclusion of the sport.
Nowadays the man of fashion for the
most part elects TO travel to ard fro
by rail He gets his Derby, as it were,
while he waits. 1t is quite possible for
him to partake of an early luncheon in
Pail Mall, witness the great race with

disturbing the nap of his box hat and

Exnorts of Pig Iron.


 Eondon, Sept. Recommending on the ex- ports of pig iron to America,. The Econ onist declares that the movements of iron are the most remarkable in the his tory of the trade. and says: There Is hunger for material amounting almost to a famine notwithstanding that the in- dustriaI depression on the continent has abated the activity in this country. Ev- cry liner from the Clyde and the Mer- sey is taking as much pig iron to the United States as 1t cares 10 carry; stsarner after steamer is being chartered to take full cargoes from the west coast norts to Baltimore, Philadelphia and oth- CT points. The latest movement for ton mage to convey pig iron from our shores to New Orleans. Pensacola and other ports is perhaps the most striking or all. One notable feature is the large quantity of from. and finished steel which America is now drawing from this country and Germany.
