WIN Preserve Historic Tavern.


The New York board of estimate
has finally authorized the purchase of
old Frances tavern, where Washing
ton took farewell of his officers after
the close of the war of independence
The cost of the building and the prop
erty to be purchased is $40, 900. 1t is
intended to restore the building as
nearly as possible to its original condi-
tion- Along the walls of the so-calIed
long room" used by Washington and
his generals will be hung the portraits
of the revolutionary generals. The
other rooms of the building will be
used as a museum. About the tavern,
on the land which will be purchased,
will be lawns and trees, in contrast to
the surrounding high buildings. On
the lawn in front of the tavern are to
be some old revolutionary cannon, and
the guards will wear Continental uni
forms. Various classes of school chill
dren, who are making a study of 'O1d
New York. will be taken by their in
structors to the tavern to see the rel
les and be taught the history with

Ho~. Ne House Our Barred and Bun
Rocks In Winter.
From Farmers Review:-When
we began raising fancy poultry like
many others we made many mistakes
in the construction of our buildings
We arranged the houses to suit the
ground instead of convenience for our
selves and comfort for the fowls. Our
first house faced the west Was COW
cred with a shed roof made of boards.
The floor was of earth The roosts
were made of strips and hung to the
wall with hinges, SO as to be raised
up out of the way when cleaning out
the droppings. But we soon came to
grief A skunk burrowed under but
failed to get out before we arrived A
short war followed. He paid with
his life for the keen pleasures of a
moment" The moles worked up the
floor and the hens by wallowing in the
dust made it almost impossible to
clean. The roof leaked and the sun
only got into the house during the
afternoon. Our next building was
made with gable roof. 1t was twelve
feet wide and long enough for three
pens. This house faced the south.
About two-thirds of the roof sloped to
the north, thus giving greater height
to the side through which we wished
the sunshine to enter. In this we
placed a cinder floor. We covered the
roof with shingles. Used common
boards for siding and lined it with
building paper, placing a window two
feet square in each pen about a foot
from the ground. The fowls did fine
in this house. We were never troubled
with frosted combs and have found it
warm enough for a brooder house dur
ing February. The great trouble with
this shed was the large space in the
gable and the cinders on the floor
made it difficult to clean. This season
we have erected four-pen house fac
ing the south. making it five feet high
on the north side and eight feet on the
south. The siding is common stock
boards and the cracks are battoned.
The lining is of heavy felt paper. The
roof is of shingles. We placed four
windows two feet square in the south
side. These are about eighteen inches
from the floor. We also placed an out
side door into each adjoining lot We
sided up the partitions solid for two
feet and finished out with lath. A door
hung on spring hinges was placed be-
house was the cement floor. The
roosts were small tressels placed over
dropping boards, making it easy to
clean out and the litter is kept off
of the floor. We think this house is a
dandy.-A. A. Anderson, Macon Coun-
ty, Illinois.

ALL FROGS GOOD TO EAT.

As Much Enjoyed by the Small Boy
as by the Epicure.
The demand for frogs is great 1t
has increased with the years until now
at almost every banquet of Importance
the dainty is on the menu. All of the
larger dining places use from six to
ten dozens per day. OF these crea-
lures, which, according to a scientific
paper, are waiting to be classified by
law as to whether they are fish or
animals-just as woman had to wait
for centuries to find out whether or
not they had souls-there seems to be
no especial variety for eating. They
are caught anywhere, and, as a small
boy said: '1All frogs are good to eat
it they are not toads"
Boys and girls with nets much like
those used in catching butterflies, only
much stronger, can be seen making
for the small streams and ponds that
spot the fields about San Francisco.
The average small boy is an expert
in catching, killing and dressing the
palatable creatures. 1t is no unusual
sight to see away off in the field from
around which a few sturdy young
sons of America are bur preparing
a feast. they broil the tender, white
flesh, which they sprinkle with salt
and haste with bit of butter, carried
perhaps in a cinnamon can in a pocket
along with fish-hooks, keys, marbles
and string. The frogs may not be
served on silver shells; they may be
garnished only with a spray of fresh
watercress, but l wager they are en-
joyed as much by the youngsters, who
are their own chefs and walters, as a
similar dish otherwise cooked and
served would be by grown-up be-
whiskered epicures.

WHERE HISTORY is SILENT.
But Small Boy Was Naturally Eager
for Information.

The old story of mother who,
when she feared her boy was lost, re-
called all his virtues, but on his being
restored to her Immediately punished
him soundly for running away, is re-
peated with rather a different ending
by the New York Evening Post:
He was but four years old and was
allowed to play on the streets with
other tots who were as yet too young
to go to school. His mother would
frequently go to the front window to
see what he was doing.
One day when she went to the win
dow he was nowhere in sight She
waited there quite a while, but he
did not appear. Again and again she
went to the window, but could get no
glimpse of him. She was becoming
alarmed when he returned
He seemed to be proud of having
run away, but with the pride there
was also an expression of anxiety,
not to say fear. He did not know
what sort of a reception he was likely
to get.
His mother stern1y asked him where
he had been. BE careful, now, and
don't lie to me-" she said
The boys face frightened Mann
ma" said he, did George Washing
ton ever tell a lie?"
NO." was the reply, 'tand don't you
tell me one
The boys face still shone Mann
ma he continued, did George Wash
ington's mamma whip him when he
didn't tell a lie?'

cybeIe and Her Children.

The Mother has eternal youth,
Yet in the fading of the year,
For sake of what must fade in ruth
She wears a crown of oak-leaves scar.
By whistlfng woods. by naked rocks.
That long have lost the summers heat,
She calls the wild unfolded flocks,
And points them to their shelter meet
In her deep bosom sink they all:
The hunter and the prey are there:
No ravin-cry, hunger-call.
These do not fear. and those forbear.
The winding serpent watches not;
Unmatched. the field-mouse trembles
not.
Weak hyla, quiet In his grot,
So rests, nor changes line or spot
For food the Mother gives them sleep:
Against the cold she gives them sleep;
To cheat their foes she gives theEa sleep
For safety gives them deathlfke Sleep
The Mother has eternal youth.
And therefrom. in the Weakening year,
Their life revfves: and they, in scoth.
FORGET their mystic bondage drearl

FEEDING for Eqqs.

From Farmers Review would
not advise any one that has a good,
healthy flock to undertake doctoring
them with antidotes with a view of
forcing egg production, either sum-
mer or winter. On most farms there
are plenty of feeds that would go to-
wards making a perfect balanced ra-
ton, if we take advantage of it. The
secret in making hens lay is simply
providing them with suitable feed,
and it's safe way. Corn, wheat,
oats, barley and millet seed are good
poultry feeds, some do not believe in
corn, but their reasons are mostly
like the small boys because" The
Agricultural Experiment Stations tell
us that corn is one of the very best
feeds for poultry, but they do not tell
US to feed it exclusively; still more,
cool reasoning would not suggest
that we feed it exclusively.
The natural makeup of their feed
is a variety; a little of this and that
and a constant exercise in procuring
ir. Some tell us to make them
scratch for their feed, a more correct
way to say 1t would be to let them
scratch for their feed; they would
rather do it than not, besides. it does
a lazy lumix disposition. Corn ex-
clusively, or in fact wheat or millet is
too heavy and too rich, something to
make bulk must be added. l know of
nothing better than wheat bran to
balance up heavy rich feed-it's SO
common though that it is hardly pop
ular. Bran makes bulk, not only
bulk, but it clears the passages and
keeps the digestive organs in condi-
ton. Bran alone would be too light
for an exclusive feed. besides, it
would not be in line with nature to
feed nothing else. The craw is
grinding mill and we must keep it at
work.
The different grains would no. be
a perfect feed alone; grass, insects
and dozens of things we hardly think
Of, go towards completing the nat
ural wants. Fowls on free range
usually find these extra knickknacks.
but penned-up fowls Or fowls in win
ter must have their equivalent in
some form, or they cannot do the
very best Cut clover or alfalfa hay
Initiates, cut vegetables initiate and
green cut bone helps to make sum-
mer out Of winter as near as it would
be possible All these things are
within our reach and the time re-
Quired to procure them would return
q nice profit, these means will bring
eggs, and it's a safe way.-M M.

Little Australian Butter in England
We are still Increasing our pur-
chases of foreign and colonial dairy
produce. The quality of butter re-
ceived during the five weeks ended
August 80 was 453, 788 cwts., being
an increase of 1850 cwts- over the
corresponding period of last year Or
this quantity 393, 632 cwts. came from
foreign countries and co. 56 cwts
from Canada Denmark, as usual,
was the chief supplier with 1915
cwts-, Russia coming next with So
S19 cwts- During the same period
464,743 cwts. of cheese were import
ed, being an increase of 116,0Sl
cwts. over last years figures OF this
quantity Canada supplied 401, 1885
cwts-, and foreign countries 62.94S-
OF the latter the chief suppliers are
Holland, 2S.33S cwts-, and the United
States. 1886 cwts.
Messrs Weddel and Co. in their
latest market report say: The de-
mand for Canadian butter is some
what checked by the lower prices at
which inferior buffers are offered,
and which, retailing at shilling a
pound, bring the retailers a greater
profit than Canadian. 1t is true the
that is his fault, for not being willing
to pay more than a shilling. In Can
ada prices are advancing, and the
lowest quotations have been left be-
hind. Choicest" Canadian on the
spot makes 96s. to 9Ss. per cwt- for
salt, with Is. to SIS. more for saluess.
In reply to a cable asking what
were the prospects of Australian sup
plies of butter for the coming season,
we have received the following re-
ply: s'Butter-there is every pros
pect of exports being much less than
last year." This information agrees
with the views of all who are in in
innate touch with Australia When 1t
is remembered that last year the i'm
ports from Australia were only 7,449
tons, against 1856 tons for the pre-
vious year, the seriousness of the
above cable becomes apparent to ev-
cry buyer of Australian butter for
the coming season.-Dairy World.
