shaIsesl,eare nnA Moliere.

A correspondent finds these notable
points Of resemblance In the careers Of
Shakespeare and Moliere:
The father of each was in trade and
apparently destined his son 10 follow
his occupation. The early education
of both was neglected, and we know
nothing in their after training that
conferred on them their perfect knowl-
edge of good breeding and distinguish
ed manners. Neither of them was hap
PLY married. Each became manager,
author, actor. Each produced con-
siderable number of authenticated dra-
matte works. Each was careless about
publishing his works, or, rather, object
ed TO do so lest they should be acted
by rival dramatic companies. Plays OF
each were collected by actors and first
published in Il complete form after the
death of the authors.
Each touched up or produced plays
that are lost or Of doubtful origin,
Each dsregarded novelty Of plot, boi-
rowing from various sources. Each
dlsliked his profession The personal
character Of each was gentle kind
generous. Each had profound knowi-
edge of human nature. Each preferred
the idea or matter to the comparative
disregard Of the manner. Each had a
remarkable fecuudity and fertility Of
production. Each died at the age of
fifty-two.

sion kicks him with all the easy famil-

But the eat is creature of a very
different stamp. She will not even
stoop to conquer. nor be tempted out

absolutely declines instruction.; nay,

signed to have. You may be the legal
possessor of cat. but you cannot
govern her affections.

Preparing Exhibition birds.

After the hot days have gone and
fall comes on, the pushing or forcing
of the future exhibition specimens be-
gins. Great Judgment is needed at
that time so as TO keep them growing
as fast as possible and not overfeed
them; at the same time they must not
be fed so as TO make the combs de-
velop too fast. Plenty of food must
be given to keep bone, body and feath-
crs growing, but meat must he used
very sparingly Mt this time. for it has
u tendency TO make the combs of
both males and females grow too fast.
All this can be avoided. but it takes
actual experience 10 do this, for no
set rule will work in all cases. and we
must learn by actual experience how
best to act.-EXchangc.

One writer asks if wheat and rye
and cracked corn are good fer turkeys.
Wheat is the best possible feed after
they are old enough to digest it. Rye,
l think, is too hearty for young tur-
keys, and corn | never feed in any
form, as it kills them. | have baked
johnny cake with butchers scraps in it
and fed them literally of it, and the
next thing they began to die by the
score. They would begin to walk slow,
as though they were tired or weak.
They could hardly walk, and it was
invariably goodby turkeys.
AS a turkey must be kept healthy to
live you cannot build up new digestive
organs on a turkey when they are once
broken down. Insects and seeds that
they pick up in the field are their nat
ural diet and if they can be kept out
of the wet they would do best If in
seets We're plentiful not to feed at all.

plateau
Promptly the. Federal infantry, which
! had retreated to the west bank, re-
formed and, with fresh regiments in
the lead, charged across after the fee
ing foe With wild cheers they dashed
upon the fugitives, who safely reached
the shelter Of their own batteries on
the hills back of the forest screen lin
ing the south edge of the plateau. In
range of the fire of these guns the
Federals did not venture, although the
actual military key to the position,
Wayne's hill, was still held by Brock
| inridge's men. Having retaken the
ground lost in the beginning, the Fed
| erals rested. and both armies biy-
Ouaeled on the field.
During this fight between Breckin-
ridge and Crittenden a fresh Federal
brigade reached the camp of Rosecrans,
bringing up a wagon train with rations
to the hungry troops, who had tasted
since the battle of Dec. 81. The train
2ha6 slipped past the Confederate cav
airy of General Joe Wheeler, which
Bragg had sent on ride in rear of
Rosecrans. When word of this timely
| succor of the hard stricken foe reached
Bragg, he saw that Rosecrans was not
in retreat nor likely to abandon his
ground and himself ordered with
drawal from the contest.
Before the arrival of the supply
train on Jan. 2 the Federal soldiers
were reduced to eating horse meat or
going hungry. The night after the bat
tie a steak from a freshly killed battle
horse was served to General Critten-
den, and he ate it with a relish, not
knowing the nature of 1t until the day

Some of Rosecrans' officers had real

Of Stone River. The weather was very
cold, and the Federal troops We're told
to go without fires in their bivouacs.
The order was sent out, but Critten-
denis men had already lit theirs, and,
as the wind was high, they could not
be entirely extinguished. At the same
time some of the cavalry moved about
with torches. Seeing the moving torch
es and the lights of the fires from dis
lance, Rosecrans thought the Confeder-
ates had got around on the left flank of
his army and was preparing to spring
an attack there, as they had done on
his right flank Dec. 81. He sent word
down the lines to prepare to fight or die

MEET CONDITIONS.

Don't Keep the Drones and Useless
Males While Feed Is So Costly.
The excessively high price of grain
has made poultry raising with many
more strenuous undertaking than
ever before. TO attempt to disguise
this is misleading. 1t will not perma-
nently help our business TO avoid the
true facts i'll order to encourage new
but blind ventures or the retaining Of
birds of doubtful promise.
Every Improbable flock that is sent
to market brings in immediate cash,
stops the outlay for feed and leaves
room and means for new beginning
with stock that will be profitable.
Eggs are high, and those who are
feeding the right kind of hens are
making more profit than they could
when grain and eggs We're cheaper
but those who are not fortunate
enough to get good egg yield are
going behind more rapidly than Cor
merly.
Men with progressive ideas are try
ing to show us the Importance of get
ting at facts-fundamenta truths that
when understood will help us to work
understandingly. Sometimes in spirit
of antagonism a poultry raiser claims
that he is satisfied with his egg yield
and his ability to control it when such
figures and facts as he can produce
will not justify his claim. Others UNI
der the pressure Of large feed bills and
diminished egg supply candidly adj
nit that they are "all at sea-"
The condition of the poultry market
seems to show that the high cost of
feed is arousing poultry keepers to ac-
ton. In some sections more early
Matched cockerels have been thrown on
the market than in previous years.
The raiser realizes more than ever that
it does not pay to hold them. AS con-
sequence chickens have brought no
More this year than last, although cost
ing more to produce.
The usual drop in the egg yield this
summer has been a serious matter to
many. In February, March and April
the fiocks were laying proftably, but
In May, June and July, with the grow
ing chicks making ever increasing de-
mands for food, broody hens in every
pen and lot Of hens that are not
broody failing to hay profitably or not
at all, the poultry keeper may be par
doned for asking himself seriously
"Where am l ati' We can say that
the hens, having laid heavily III win
ter and spring, need rest.
That will do very well when we are
sure that the individual birds that are
resting" now are the ones that laid
heavily all winter, but often it is found
that the summer drone is also the vim
ter drone. A brief period of spring lay
ing does not warrant us in feeding a
bird whole year Many flocks con
tain a lot Of birds that do most of their
laying in the spring The most per-
sistent summer broodies are often of
this type. and yet some people consider
broodiness as an indication of previous
heavy laying.
1t behooves us to Gull out our I'M
profitable stock. Market while prices
are good those hens that it will not
pay to keep and retain only those that
are likely to be proftable.-Poultry
