late ambassador, usually spent the
heated term at Newport.
Ambassador and Mrs. Herbert will
undoubtedly receive a cordial well
come at the national capital when
ever they come, as they both are
well known in the city and have a
legion of friends.
The determination to select Mr..
Herbert as ambassador to the Unit
ed States was reached after many
consultations with those best fitted
to voice an opinion in the matter.
While nominally secretary to the
British embassy at Paris, Mr.. Her
bert was really minister plenipoten-
tiary to France, and as such he fire.
quently acted in most important
crises in the absence of Sir Edmund
j. Monson, Great Britain's ambassa-
dor there.
Mr.. Herbert's marriage with Leila,
daughter of Richard T. Wilson, of
New York, as a result of which he
became closely related to the Van
derbilts, the Ogden Goelets and the
AstOrs, will undoubtedly add to his
usefulness as Great Britain's am
bassadOr at Washington. Mr.. Her
bert's record at Washington as
echarge d'affaires from 1855 until
1889, and as secretary to the British
legation here from 1892 to 1898, and
his work as British agent on the
Venezuelan commission, eminently
fit him, so official belief inclines, for
his new and important duties.
Mr.. Herbert's recent position at
Paris was somewhat curious, for,
while holding the rank of full
tiedged minister, he had to take sec
ond place whenever Sir Edmund j.
Monson, the ambassador, was pres
ent.
Before the new ambassador at
Washington takes up his duties the
salary attached to the position will
probably be put upon par with the
highest paid in Great Britains diplo-
matte service, namely, that which is
paid the ambassador at Paris, 1000
year.

POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

In feeding fowls study nature, and
give them things they like the best.
Sour milk will bring better returns
fed to hens than when even fed to pigs.
Turkeys when first Matched are very
delicate and require considera bic care.
Young chicks should be fed often,
but never given more food than they
will clean up.
When the chickens are growing fast,
it is a good plan to mix little bone
meal in their soft feed.
Scaly legs can be cured with an ONT
ment made of two parts of glycerin
and one part carbolic acid.
While it is at no time advisable to
keep food of any kind before the fowls
all the time, il will be an advantage
to keep milk where they can drink all
they want.
A growing chicken, like a growing
animal, requires plenty of good,
wholesome food supplied literally and
often in order to enable them to grow
and mature rapidly and to develop
properly.
Charcoal is an excellent thing for
fowls, whether in confinement or run
ming at large. 1t is inexpensive and so
easily provided that no flock should
be permitted to be without it. Let
it be graduated and placed where the
birds can readily have access to it.
Unlike the foal, the calf, the pig and
the lamb, the chick must depend on
the outsider instead of its mother for
food. 1t is this fact that is RESPONSE
bic for the high death-rate in the yards
of many beginners and some that are
not beginners. Nature supplies the
chick with food for the first "a hours
and a wonderful constitution.-Rura

THE WEIGHT OF EGGS.
During Incubation 1t should Be stud

taking Care.

The following directions are issued
by the West Virginia experiment sta
tion for finding the loss in weight of
eggs during incubation:
after placing the eggs upon the
trays ready for the incubator, set the
trays upon a pair of scales reading to
ounces and note the total weight of
the eggs and trays. (The trays should
be thoroughly dry.) After few days
weigh again. Subtract this from the
first weight. This will give the actual
loss in the weight of the eggs.
Example.-Suppose that you have
POS eggs on the trays; that the first
weight with trays is "a pounds 2
ounces, and that on the sixth day the
weight is 90 pounds ounces. Then
the loss in weight is 10 ounces. Now
look in the table for the loss in weight
of 100 eggs for six days. This is 10
ounces. Ten ounces multiplied by 2.0S
gives POS ounces, which is the calcu-
lated loss for POS eggs for six days.
Therefore the eggs have not been los
ing weight as rapidly as they should,
and the eggs should be given more
ventilation or the incubator should be
removed to a drier location. ct is as
sumed that the eggs are kept uniform
ly at the proper temperature,) After
the eggs have been tested for the in
fertile ones, weigh again and proceed
as before.
Rules.-If the eggs have lost too
much weight, give more moisture, or
less ventilation, but in reducing venti-
lation great care should be used. as
pure air in the egg chamber is abso-
Iutely necessary If the eggs have not
lost enough weight, open the venti-
lators, or place the incubator in a
drier place. The table shows normal
loss in weight of 100 eggs in ounces for
the first 10 days of incubation:

RAZOR-BACK CROSSES.
Experiments Now Being Conducted
May Increase the Profits of the
Swine Department.

The fecundity, vigor and digestive
propensities of the razor-back hog is
to be utilized in the production of good
hams and bacon. Experiments are be-
ing conducted at the Wisconsin expert
ment station in crossing the razor
back boar, direct from the wilds of
Arkansas, with Berkshire and Poland
China sows. The first cross is said to
be a great improvement over the male
parent, both in looks and quality of
the same pork. Subsequent genera
tions are expected to accentuate the
most desirable porking qualities of
the dam, while retaining the keen APP
petite and natural fecundity of the
wild hog. This is very interesting
as well as important experiment. At
one time the rough, wild hog of the
forest was the only source of pork that
our forefathers knew anything about.
Thousands of years were required to
improve such rough stock to it's pres
ent satisfactory condition. 1t is not
to be wondered at that during all the
necessary inbreeding special points,
the final progeny should lose some Of
its original digestive and productive
vigor. If these desirable qualities can
now be extracted from the original
type of wild boar and incorporated
into our present symmetrical breeds
by judicious crossing, the profits from
the swine department of the farm will
be still greater.-Agricultu Epito-

HoG-FEEpING PLATFORM.

graped by the writer on one of the
large hog-raising farms in this COM
munity. 1t is, in my opinion,
cheap, ideal platform for feeding
corn to hogs, shelled or in the ear.
The platform is about 6X12 feet, suffi
GENTLY large to accommodate eight
or ten fair-sized hogs. The owner
of this farm has several just such
platforms which he uses in feeding
his hogs, so that each litter is kept
separate from the others. The plat
form itself is made of two-inch
plank IL feet long. 1t is considered
best to use plank on account of the
wear and tear. / have used both the
two-inch plank and inch boards; the
inch stuff will do, but will not last
as long.
In framing the platform the planks
should be mounted upon 2X4s set up
edgewise. The 2x4s should be of
good pine or oak; either will last
well. The plank are securely nailed
to the 2X4s. On one side of the plat
form is the trough, and this is a good
place. LOT IL. II gives Ine HOS SOOu
place to stand while drinking and be
free from mud and slush in very bad
weather. At the other side and end
are nailed 2X4s to keep the corn
from working off of the platform
when the hogs are eating. The op-
posite end has no cleat but is left
open to give a place to clean the
platform readily after each feeding.
When building the platform let it
incline toward the indicated end so
that in rainy weather the water will
wash and clean the platform.
The amount of material required
to build this platform is less than 200
feet, and at the price of hemlock
plank in this market (about SIT per
NJ it is so cheap that no farmer
should try to get along without. The
platform will pay for itself the first
year and it will last many years.

WALKING FOR BEAUTY.
Pedestrianism Is the Best Form of
Physical Exercise n Woman
Can Indulge In.

Physicians of the best reputation,
who have closely studied the matter,
unhesitatingly assert that walking is
the best exercise a woman can engage
in for the development of her physical
charms. The woman who is in the
habit of taking the street cars for
every three blocks she wishes to travel
is the one who has a bad complexion
and complains of growing stout. She
will tell you that her spine troubles
her, that her feet are rheumatic, that
she cannot walk-positively must not
do so.
If you are among that number say
nothing but get to work and walk.
Take walk every day, give up the
street car habit unless you have some
real riding to do or time is an object,
and every day walk little farther.
An excellent thing is exercise and
If you do not find walking agrees with
you then take to the gymnasium. Aft
er you have tried all the physical cul-
ture exercises try the open air ones.
A delightful open air gymnasium is
situated on the banks of the Susque-
hanna. 1t is in the ground of great
millionaire, who built it for one of
his daughters. girl who was delicate
from girlhood. In the gymnasium
there are high walls, but the inclosure
is so great you do not feel as though

FEEDING PLATFORM.
VIII Pay for Itself the First Year on

The time for feeding hogs will soon
be here again, and with grain at such
prices as now indicated, it will pay
to arrange for feeding without
waste. There is a leak somewhere in
the management of most farmers,
through which the profits steal away.
Most farmers feed corn in the ear,
to hogs, and throw it on the ground.
When the ground is frozen this meth
cd will do, but when the ground il

sian people.
Report has it that the princess has
given the mitten to many royal suit
or and that she has broken many a
royal heart. Certain it is that she has
been sought by princes of many coun-
tries anxious to make alliance with
the Romanoffs and at the same time
get a lovely bride.
Now Prince Nicholas-a soldier in
times of war, as he proved right well
when Greece and Turkey fought, but
a litterateur of no mean ability in
the piping times of peace; young,
handsome as a Greek god, albeit, he
is merely prince; successful dram
atist, an all-round good felIow-has
brought the naughty princess to terms,
and she has made a complete sur

Athens. 1t was only when its success
was assured that the prince ac-
knowledged its authorship.
Many a story has been told of the
flirtations of the grand duchess, and
she has been made food for gossip
throughout Europe, but, then, gossips
don't always speak the exact truth.
