FAN Work 1, the Poultry Yards.

Fail Work In the Poultry Yards.
A neighbor, whose experience in
poultry raising gives weight to her ad-
vice, recently informed me that her war
against parasites was pushed into the
late winter months She says that If
lice are vigorously fought at this time
OF the year, they may be entirely ex-
terminated. Clean out the houses and
yards. saving the manure for a COM
pest. Mix with about the. same bulk
OF barnyard manure and wood ashes,
and cover closely with hay or straw.
Leave until spring, and you will have
q rich compost for your strawberry or
garden patch. There is usually a rush
OF young poultry to the markets in Oc-
tober or November. This does not nee
essarily imply that the prices are adj
vanced or the demand better at this
time Of year. but rather that there Is
a general effort to dispose Of stock on
hands before the coming of winter.
Very often it is good policy to hold
back shipping stock until the rush is
over. Do not neglect to store the sur
plus vegetables for the hens Green
food is great egg producer. Do the
poultry houses and fences need repairs?
Fall IS the best time to attend to these
matters, since winter is likely to steal
upon us almost before we are aware OF
the fact, and, if we wait until cold
weather comes, the task of repairing
is not very agreeable one.-Cor. Epit-
omist.

job. too. Some resort to the slower
process of digging and pulverizing
with hoe or mattock. Loose manure
can be handled with q manure fork
all right, but this process has to be
used in stalls in which the manure Is
hard packed. For handling loose. light
manure prefer four tined fork, the
short handled hay fork is just as good
as the D-handled manure fork, and
serves both purposes. For heavy or
very fine manure the 14-inch coal SHOW
ell is excellent, and at least one should
DO found in every outfit Low, broad
tired wagons are best for hauling. For
short trips loose board platform with
movable side and end boards is excel
lent, and is easier unloaded than the
wagon box. The box, though, has the
advantage of always being ready. Hav-
ing previously pulverized the manure
fine at the barn, spread it evenly over
the ground. | have seen men haul
great chunks OF manure to the field
and throw them often several feet
apart What benefit they expect the
intervening ground to derive I cannot
see. Ii the manure is to be spread on
ground on which you expect to SOW
clover or grass seed, SOW these first,
and spread evenly well pulverized ma
nure over it. A fine stand will be the
result If the seed is good. Thin spots
in the pasture or meadow can be doc
tored profitably by this method. The
amount to spread will depend on the
soil, kind Of manure. kind Of crop. For
instance, use light coating Of fine
manure for top dressing the pasture
and meadow. Do not use coarse ma
nure or litter on this ground-it will
do for blowing under. On small grain
damage is often done by too heavy
manuring, causing too rank growth,
consequently falling of the grain. But
corn is not often injured In this way,
though there Is no advantage in put
ting on an excess. The effects Of Z
good coating in clay soil is often ap-
parent four or i've years after, while
wet, crawfishy land will require ma

but foolish. Nor should the manure
be piled in the barn yard or field, q
the small space under the pile re
ceives an excess, and the action OF
the weather causes deterioration Of
that in the pile at greater rate.-E

This story covers an interesting period,
that of the brutal Tiberius Caesar and the
trial and death Of Christ. There are two
scenes in which the Saviour figures, rs be
is being led TO execution, and the effect his
presence produces on the two chief per-
sonages Of the story is graphically described
The hero, Aristarcnus, Is Roman noble
of great wealth. His father, Petronius, has
been doomed to death by order OF Augustus
Caesar, whom he had unintentionaily Of
tended. On his last night on earth, while
Petronius was looking from the roof OF his
palace, be witnessed strange light IN the
heavens. 1t rose, paused, vibrated, then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
While he was still gazing at it, slave ap.
proaches and announces TO him the birth OF
Z son. The Roman marvels, and at once as
sociates the w6ndrous light IN the heavens
with the birth of his son. The light, OF
course, was the star OF Bethlehem, pro-
cla aiming the birth of Christ, whose influence
over Petronius' son makes up the main IN
cidents OF the story. That night Petronius
dies BY his own hand 10 avoid the ignomin-
ious death planned for him BY Augustine.
Aristarchus, grown to manhood, becomes
diseusted with the materialism and vapid
luxury Of Rome, and is, moreover, involved
| in quarrel with 1iberius during one OF the
latters drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
| turns Eastward in his course. There he
| learns Of the strange fame of the "Naxa-
rene" whom he forwith desires to zee. His
wish is granted by . eight OF Jesus as ne u
being led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; Its revolutionizes ms
| whole life.
The horoine, Bethsaida, who gives name
to the story, is maiden Of humble birth, but
| Of strange character and commanding beau-
| ty. Her father has trained her TO be dane
! ing girl at the court of PLATE. She, too, sees
| Christ a. he is being led to death, and the
| eject wrought causes her to plan flight
| from the influence of Plate and his court.
Chance brings abouta meeting between her
| and Aristarchus, and their mutual expe-
| riences in the encounter with Christ form a
| bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
| 80 foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts Of tyranny and kindli-
| ness that distinguish Plate, whose love for
bis wife, Claudia, despite his infidelity to
her, il bis one saving trait make an engas'

THE SPEECH THAT FAILED,

Accidents will sometimes happen even
in such well regulated institutions as
that of the Portland Journal, whose
Saturday evening edition contained a
full report of speech which was never
delivered. Congressional Candidate
Reames was scheduled to address the
Native Sons and Daughters Of Oregon
en- Saturday afternoon at Champoeg.
Had it not been for the train wreck
which prevented his arrival, all would
have been well. The text of the speech
had OF course been mailed by the
hustling campaign correspondent of the
Journal, who duly wired instruction to
"kills 1t when the wreck occurred.
Through some bungle his message
was delivered to this paper instead OF
to the Journal, which came out with
the full speech, prefaced with this ac-
count of its reception:
..The appearance of Mr.. Reames on
the stand was the signal for an out
burst ofenthusiasm, and If this may be
taken as an example of his popularity
with the people of Marion county, the
county may as well be taken out of the
doubtful column and placed to his
credit. His address was highly appre-
ciated for its delivery, historical incl
dents and patriotism. He was loudly
applauded and the young man left
most favorable impression with his
hearers. The people of this section
showed their usual hospitality to the
visitors, and the event will long be re-
membered by all who were present"
This is but an illustration of the
manner in which this strenuous age is
bound to oyerreach itself occasionally. |
In order to be thoroughly up to date
and never scooped. chances must be
taken which leave no guarantee that
disaster may not result. This is not
only true of the newspaper business,
but Of many other pursuits in this
busy age. Men are bound to keep up
with or little in advance of the pro-
cession at whatever cost. They can
not all succeed always. There is at
least one sentence In the above quo
tation which cannot be well contradict
ed. That is the last one. The proba-
bilities are that Binger Hermann would
not suffer much by the balance even If
it had really reported facts, as the old
standard bearer is sure to be elected.

STATISTICS MISLEADING.

Statistics show that crime is increas-

world is becoming worse. Statistics
often are misleading in this respect.
A city in which arrests arenumerous
must not, by reason of this fact, be
set down as wicked. 1t may be that
the difference lies in the manner in
which the laws are enforced. There
