N private menagerie owned by J.
B. Shank, of Chicago, there is a
pure white parrot of beautiful proper
tons which is attracting much atten-
ton among scientists.
Is the soul of some long-gone actor
captive in the body of this parrot?
Can the immortal William himself be
visiting us, impelled by longings for
the vaudeville stage, where acting
goes on forever? Is the theory of re-
incarnation on the eve Of absolute
confirmation?
Ills now the very witching hour of

shrieks with mad laughter and calls
out: ''There's rosemary, that's for re-
membrance," and dances with satanic
glee up and down his cage, while he
sings "Bonny Sweet Robin is All My
JOY"
Up to the last few weeks the parrot
was as the other parrots, restless, yet
reserved, haughti]y interested in his
food, plucking noisily at the bars OF
his cage, tlinging occasional epithets al
his companions in a raucous voice, and
treating too familiar visitors with SUI
percilious scorn.

archbishop Of Philadelphia, who. is
known as the silver-tongued orator of

In one year Mr.. Sanders developedtwo
worlds champions. They were Frou
Frou, 2:25A, a time made as yearling,
driven to high-wheel sulky, and Fosto,
2:22A, PAGER, also yearling.
The veteran reinsman has to his credit
five yearlings with records better than
2:30 and one with mark of 1882.
Sydney was the star of Count Valen-
sins stable. Mr.. John Turner, of Phil
adelphia, offered $500 900 for Sydney aft
er the death.of the count.
Mr.. Sanders then went to work for the
management of the lakewood stock farm.
He again had great luck, winning many
races and giving the colt J. F. B. a record
of 2:25 as yearling.
In 1901 he came east again and had two
good money winners in Dollie Dillon
2:07, and Janice, 2:08A. Janice held the
worlds trotting record for mile and an
eighth until year ago.
During the 1902 season Mr.. Sanders
campaigned Amelia with great success
She started IL times against the greatest
trotters in America, including Lord Der
by, Maj. Delmar, Susie j., Rhythmic, Nut
bearer and Monte Carlo, and won eight
sets Of brackets. In Amelia s four other
starts she was second. H..
Dollie Dillon was in poor form during
the 1902 season and Amelia was Mr..
Sanders chief bread winner. Sir Albert
S., another speed marvel which he drove,
hung upa record of 2:03A. In his match
race with Prince Alert he was beaten aft
er pacing the first quarter in :2S1k. In
this race Prince Alert went the half mile
in :57A, which is a worlds record.

The Strawpile
Calves and Yearlinns

The rule of the most successful cat
tie feeders is to keep the calves grow
ing from weaving to finish, and never
allow them to stand still or go back for
moment. but to grow and thrive con-
stantly. Those who have heard Mr.. l..
II. kerrck, of Bloomington, H.. at in
stitutes, and livestock meetings, Will re-
member how he insists on this and
what his own experience is on the sub
ject.
Ordinarily it will pay to feed grain
to calves, the first winter after wean-
ing, no matter what is to be done with
them. little grain keeps them grow
ing in fine shape, il the fodder is reas-
onably good. 1t keeps them not only in
fair flesh. but also growing without in
terruption. If wanted for dams. the
second winter after weaving they
should also get some grain, if carrying
n calf. If wanted for meat they should
also be fed grain, and should probably
get more than is fed to the heifers.
But the amount fed to them ought to be
proportloned to their needs. The idea
that we desired to make prominent here
Is that to feed some grain to animals
that are young and growing is not
thrown away. On the other hand, it
will give good return in the increased
thrift and growth which it gives to the
animals. But to keep animals growing
thus. 1t is not necessary to feed much
grain. A very small amount will suf-
flee. and the simpler the manner in
which it is fed, the better. Fodder corn
with some ears on it Will supply the
need in good form. If oats are fed it
will probably answer about as well to
feed them unground. But if barley is
fed. or oats and barley together. it
will pay to grind them. From two to
four or five pounds per day per animal
should suffice to keep them in good
form.

So they let him moan and they let him
groan while they cropped his ears
away.
And they praised his looks when they
let him up, and proud indeed were
they!
But that was years and years ago. in

You will spoil my looks, you will cause

treat me so?
AS I am God made me. and he knows

Keeping Hogs in Good Health.

To any one who will think a little on
this subject it will be readily suggested
that it is not hard to keep hogs in a
med up with saying that pure water,
cleanliness and nutritious food are es-
sentials to this end. But the nutritious
food should not be all concentrated
foods, nor too exclusively fattening
foods while the hogs are young and
growing. Succulent foods with good
per cent of protein are also essential.
as follows:
II feed a little salt and wood ashes
dry in trough. Sometimes l feed a
little turpentine in slop to kill worms
in pigs. Kerosene is good in worn.
remedies 1t has been my experience
that pigs fed a great deal of oats will
be very little troubled with worms. My
main feed i'll winter for old hogs is
corn and oats. Pigs seldom need slop.
Shorts or ground wheat and oats make
good slop, and a good bone and mus
cle-maker. A little corn is good for
a change. I do not feed shorts and
soaked corn at the same time. Always
have plenty of clean water, and never
let hogs drink from stagnant ponds or
water holes. Have the yards we'll
drained, so there will be no mud holes.
Mud and dust are equally bad. White
wash fences literally, and don't be
afraid to spill good deal of 1t as you
go along. Lime is good disinfectant."
