POULTRY YARD T

Do not think you can make money out
of poultry without putting time, energy
and earnest thought into it.
There Is a renewal Of the agitation
about the color of egg-shells, Feed the
fowls properly and the color of the shell
does not matter. 1t takes good feed to
make good eggs.
The best preventive Of roup and other
infectious diseases is perfect cleanliness
about the poultry house and ground.
No medicine can successfully combat
fifth, darkness and dampness.
1T is nonsense to talk about wild"
breeds and tame breeds. The so.
called wild" breeds are tame enough
when properly cared for and these are
the breeds that lay the most &
Feed the hens the best when they lay
the fewest eggs. If they are melting
they need heavy feeding to help them
to a new suit and If they are not laying
It is because they are not properly fed

themselves many comforts Of life in

physicians.

and wretched, and scarcely able to keep

growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause of the want of a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with oyerwo:k.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.

If you have a genuine oriental rug
you need not fear to wash it whenever
the surface becomes soiled, as the col
ors are perfectly fast and the rugs
have been washed many times before
they are brought to this country.
Fasten it TO smooth, hard floor and
wash with strong soapsuds, then rinse
thoroughly with clear water to re-
move every trace of the soap. Squeeze
out what water you can by pressing
the rug while it lies on the floor and
let it dry before removing it. In This

BEWARE OF THE EXPRESSION,
Old Form of Language Recently Re.
vived-Referu to Nice Use
Of Words.

There has been distinct revival of
the "a or 'one," used of man by
way of contempt. A certain "one
Amory" recently figured in some none
too gentle remarks by President vree-
land. And lately in London the pro-
prietor of theater has referred to "a
Mr.. Walkley"-meaning thereby the
well-known critic who had been ex-
cluded from Mr.. jones' play. 1t is
rather a nice point, considers the New
York Post. If the man designated by
the contemptuous "a" or lone" is really
of good standing, the slur may easily
recoil upon its user. An appeal ad ig-
norantiam may lead to the report: Not

1.-The last one, starvation is the inevitable
result. For weeks the Bretons suffered
the pinch of want without a murmur
They made no parade of their poverty
Then the truth leaked out, and Europe
was shocked to learn that 100, 900 peo-
pie were on the brink of starvation.
Fifteen thousand families owe their
livelihood to the sardine fishing. of
whom $4,000 members go out in the
boats and $1,000 work at the packing
houses or at home. For the first time
since 1881 the fishing last season was
practically nil. Four factories that in
the previous year packed 5000 cases of
sardines sent out only 300. Another
firm which normally exports 10 ,0O0. 900
of fish yearly shipped no more than
2,5oO,000. Several factories did not open
their doors.
Each fisherman catches, in an aver.
age season, from 1000, 1000 to 1,5OO. 900
sardines; he did not net more than
1000 last season. In 1901 the men of
Gulvine harvested $4,000, 900 sardines.
representing $4,000. No more than
100000 were taken in 1902, producing
$1,000, to be divided among the adult
male population. In other words. a
fisherman who earned $40 during 1901
received last season only $3.50. The fe-
male curers who earned $35 in 1901
could only contribute $3.50 toward
keeping their families during the late
season.
The wages of the fishing crews are
arranged ON sort of sliding scale. The
owner of the boat receives about S4.15
for 1000 sardines. He takes half and
the rest is divided among his men, who
usually number five.
In the best of times Breton family
of six or seven mouths has to live for
IL months on about $2s5, but il was a
fortunate household whose income last
year totaled $60-five dollars a month
to Feep healthy, hungry family of
half dozen! The good folk are now
at the end of their resources.
The Bretons are a picturesque race,
almost primitive in the simplicity of |
their wants and aspirations. In the
matter of industrial developmtnt they
are, perhaps, half century behind the
times; in the observance of certain Gus
toms they live in an age long past and |
