POULTRY POINTERS.

Early Matched pullets make the best
winter layers.
One of the most beneficial foods for
poultry is linseed meal.
The laying hens like variety not
only in the soft food, but in the grain.
The guinea fowl is great forager
and destroys many insects that hens
will not touch.
The hens will lay better and be better
contented if supplied with box of
fine dry earth for dust bath.
The Leghorns are popular with those
who do not desire to raise chicks, they
being nonsitters and good layers.
Poultry farming doesn't take a great
deal Of land, but with good manage
ment the harvest comes every day.
In arranging the perches in the poul-
try house have them far enough away
from the doors and windows to avoid
drafts.
Soaked lime placed in the drinking
water will often cure hens of laying
shell-less eggs unless it is disease of
the egg passage, as is sometimes the
case,

The Capitol and the White House

The street urchins of Washington to-
day would hardly know by the names
assigned them on the original maps the
two chief buildings planned for the
national capital. The capitol was then
the Congress house" and the White
House the presidents house." The
exposure intended for the front in each
building has since become for practical
purposes the back. The capitol was
made to face east, but landowners
pushed up their prices so that the city
grew on the west and is there today.
The White House was made to face
the Potomac river on the south, after
the fashion of the Virginia mansions Of
its day, but is thought Of by the Ameri-
can people as facing Pennsylvania av-
enue, or toward the north. - Youths

1t has been published that there
are twelve insects at work in the
United States that cost Uncle Sam
1858, 100000 annually. The little fell
low who has the most destruction to
his credit is the chinch bug, which
cost the farmers of the wheat grow
ing states fully $100,00O,000 wear
Then comes the grasshopper, which
eats $9O,0OO,OOO more The Hessian
fly takes $50,OOO,O0O Three worms
that attack the cotton plant in the
southern states damage the farmers
to the amount of $6O,O0O,OOO. The
potato bug eats sS,OOO,OOO of "spud"
vines, at a time when the vines are
of a necessity to the growth of the
spuds. The apple worm and the San
Jose scale each destroy $10,00O,O0O
worth of agricultural values-and so
on down the list of insect pests. 1t
seems strange-yet it is a fact-that
Uncle Sam, with an army of $4,000
men, 254 warships and money in the
treasury that he cannot use, stands
impotent and helpless in front of this
army of bugs. 1t is an instance of
CULVER being at the mercy of the
Lilliputians.

THE CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

The annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans now being held
in New Orleans is pleasing as wei
as a pathetic spectacle. 1t is pleas
ing because not a note of disloyalty
or a word CT bitterness is to be
heard. 1t is gathering of old
friends met together to enjoy anew
The ties and friendships that were
found in the trying times of the re-
bellion. Everywhere the stars and
stripes float above the tattered
battle flags of the confederate arms,
and they who once fought against
the union flag would not alter pres
ent conditions if they could
Like the veterans of the grand
army, they, too. are growing old, but
no generous help is given them by
the general government to tighten
the labors and increase the comforts
of their declining years. Like the
union veterans, the hardships of war
has left many of them badly handi-
capped, but they face the struggle
OF life with the sturdy courage and
cheerfullness that has always been
characteristic Of the American sol
dier. The true worth and character
of those gathered at New Orleans is
shown by the friendship and consid-
GRAFTON displayed toward the few
union veterans present. and in this
respect they cannot Guido the men,
beers of the Grand Army. From
worthy foes they have been trans
formed into friendly neighbors, and
nothing could better illustrate the
complete reunion of north and south.
The confederate organization is not
as old as the Grand Army, the pres
emit reunion being but the fourteenth
annual gathering, but in interest and
enthusiasm they are not behind their
northern brothers. May they live to
attend many more of the annual re-
unions.

MASSACRE OF JEWS.

Horrible beyond belief are the de-
tails of the massacre of Jews at
Kishineff. Innocent women and chill
dren were wantonly killed, many of
them being tortured in man
ner most brutal and inhuman.
Kishineff is city of about 100000
population. 1t is the capital of Bes-
saraIbia, a province of Russia. Bes-
sarabia is not much larger than Flat
head county. but has population Of
nearly 100000. 1t is situated in
the fertile plains of southwestern
Russia, just north of the Black sea-
According to reliable accounts, the
butchery was witnessed by the Rus
sian officials, who made no effort to
stop it. and, in fact, some of the po-
lice officers took part in the looting
and killing. Had the massacre oc-
Cured in some semi-official country
it would not be so hard to under
stand, but southwestern Russia is
one of the oldest settled portions of
the European continent and is sup
posed to be the home of culture and
refinement. The outbreak against
the Jews must have been the culmi-
nation of a long period of agitation
against them. for such outbreaks do
not gather force in a moment. Living
in free America, it is not easy to I'M
derstand the conditions which cause
such hatred to exist against any par
ticular sect or race, but after all it
is the same unreasonable prejudice
in more violent form as that which
caused the A. p. A. societies to -four
ish in this country few years ago.
The population of Kishineff is
composed of Russians. Bulgarians,
Germans, Greeks, Moldavians, Jews
and Poles, which fact no doubt ac-
counts for the extreme eXcitability
of the population. Those who took
part in the outrage deserve to be
hanged. but a few months in prison
will be the limit of any punishm ent
inflicted by the Russian government.
