"And such a fair, free city for a

The Home of corneIia Moran

The Home of Cornelia Moran.
Never, in all its history, was the
proud and opulent city of New York
more glad and gay than in the bright
spring days of Seventeenth Hundred
and'Ninety- 1t had put out of
sight every trace of British rule and
occupancy all its homes had been re-
stored and re-furnished, and its sacred
places re-consecrated and adorned.
The skies of Italy were not bluer than
the skies above it; the sunshine OF
Arcadia not brighter or more genial.
These gracious days Of Seventeen
Observation-Disclosures were also
the early days of the French revolu-
ton. and fugitives from the French
court-princes and mobiles, statesmen
and generals, sufficient for new Iliad,
lotered about the pleasant places OF
Broadway and Wall street, Broad
street, and Maiden Lane. They were
received with courtesy, and even with
hospitality, although America at that
date almost universally sympathized
with the French Republicans, whom
they believed to be the pioneers of po-
litical freedom on the aged side of the
Atlantic. Love for France, hatred for
England, was the spirit of the age;
it effected the trend of commerce, 1t
dominated politics, it was the keynote
of conversation wherever men and
women congregated.
Yet the most pronounced public
feeling always carries with 1t note
of dissent, and it was just at this day
that dissenting opinion began to make

The Farm Hen.

The farm hen is one Of the import
ant factors of the farm, though she Is
generally neglected and sometimes
forgotten. The writer knew OF one
poor hen that was so far forgotten
that when an open space under the
house was closed up to keep out the
winter winds biddy was made pr1s'
oner. She was not missed from the
flock, or, if missed, was not looked
for. After about six weeks noise
under the house attracted the atten'
ton of the residents and an investiga-
ton revealed the poor hen, still alive,
but hardly more than skin and bones.
Scattered about were 10 eggs. On
the day of her Imprisonment she had
gone under there to lay, and,
after depositing her egg, mad
found the exit closed. She had ap-
parently laid most of those eggs after
the time of being imprisoned. IL
seemed almost unbelievable that she
should have lived so long without food
and water. Perhaps she was able TO

on was not entirely dark. 1t IS
strange, too, that she could and did
recover from her emaciation. This
shows the hen in the role of slayer.
There are few animals on the farm
that can endure the neglect that the
hen gets and still prove profitable.
What will she do if properly taken
care Of? The farm hen is the most
potent factor in the creation OF
poultry products. We read about the
enormous quantity of eggs and fowl
flesh consumed in this country year
by year. Let it not be forgotten that
the farm hen is the chief producer OF
these, the hen of the specialist cut
ting a small figure by the side OF her.

this industry, and l feel that invesil-
cations in that line should be con-
Quoted and instruction given to our
students concerning the best methods
of poultry raising. There has been
some interest manifested in this mat
ter by the poultry organizations OF
the state, and we are pleased to have
them take the initiative. II they see
fit to call upon the institution for a
poultry department and will unite in
asking the legislature to establish
such department, feel confident
that it will be done at the next ses-
sion and the college will very gladly
assume its share of the responsibility.
Prof. Horace Atwood, West Vir-
ginit: Regarding the variety and ex-
tent of poultry work carried on at
this station would say: % We are
conducting experiments in regard to
the best foods for egg production; the
effect of different foods and manner OF
feeding upon the fertility Of eggs, and
also their flavor; experiments in ar
tificial incubation and brooding. (2)
We have about $4,000 invested in
houses, stock and equipment. CD
Yes, we expect to keep developing all
along the line. We have just COM
pleted new brooder house which will
give us letter facilities for conduct
ing experiments in brooding. (4
The agricultural college has not CIV
en- much attention to instruction In
poultry culture in the past, but l be-
lieve that they expect to give more
attention to this subject in future.

and of Paris, the brutality with which
the royal family had been treated, and
the abolition of all religious ties anu
duties. had many and bitter oppo-
nents.
In these days of wonderful hopes
and fears there was, in Maiden Lane
a very handsome residence-an old
house even in the days OF Washing
ton. for Peter Van Clyffe had built 1t
early in the century as bridal pres
ent to his daughter when she married
Philip Moran, lawyer who grew TO
eminence among colonial judges.
One afternoon in April, 1871, two
meu were standing talking opposite
to the entrance gates of the pleasant
place. They were Capt. Joris Van
Henmskirk. a member of the Congress
then sitting in Federal Hall, Broad
street. and Jacobus Van Ariens,
wealthy citizen, and deacon in the
Duach church. Van Heemskirk be-
liev ed in France; the tragedies she
had been enacting in the holy name or
liberty, though they had saddened,
had. hitherto, not discouraged him.
But the news received that morning
had almost killed his hopes for the
spread of republican ideas in Europe.
Evan Ariens," he said warmly, this
treatment of King Louis and his fam
ily Is hardly to be believed. 1t is too
much. and too far After this no one
can foresee what may happen In

Fiber In Feed Stuffs.

communication from the New
York Experiment station at Geneva
says: The choice of feeding stuffs to
supplement farm crops is a matter Of
exceedingly great Importance to the
dairyman and stock keeper. The
time has passed when bran, middlings,
Oil meal, corn meal and the ground
grains OF other cereals made up al
most the whole list, and when the
name given to feed was fair index
to Its composition and feeling value.
Among the hundreds of feeds ingeni-
ously combined from the ground
grains, or containing portions of
these grains left as by-products in the
manufacture Of malt and spirituous
liquors, Of starch, sugar and glucose,
OF breakfast foods or of vegetable oils,
the feeder finds wide range of puz-
zling compounds. Led only by his
eye, touch or taste (helpful as these
are to the purchaser who is guided by
good understanding Of principles) he
would find it exceedingly difficult to
make sure selection of the feeds best
suited to his needs. Dat hulls, corn
cobs, coffee hulls, cottonseed hulls and
other materials are very skillfully
used as adulterants, so that in some
feeds now for sale in this state the
percentage of fiber is so great that
nearly all the energy represented in
the food must be used to masticate the
material and pass it through the anil
mails body. OF corn and oat feeds on
the market at least 10 brands exam
ined by the station at Geneva con-
tanned from 10 to nearly 16 per cent
OF fiber; while a mixture Of equal
parts Of corn and oats should contain
less than six per cent. Good oats
normally contain less than 10 per cent
of fibre, while several oat feeds exam
ined contained from % to 29 per cent
and sold for from 500 to $50 or more
ton. Prices of feeds of equal value
also vary remarkably in markets ly-
ing side by side. One dealer in New
York sells a certain brand for $50
ton, another dealer in the same city
asks $40. These are but few Illus
trations Of the impositions put upon
farmers by some manufacturers or
dealers in feeds.

GOOD CUSTOMER OF FRANCE.
England Makes Heavy Purchases
from Her Old-Time Foe.

from Her Old-Time Foe.
Jean Finot, editor of the Revue des
Revues, recently put the relations be-
tween France and England in a most
striking fashion. He said:
Great Britain deserves the name
of the richest and most important of
French colonies. France is so bound
up with her fate that the disappear
ance of England's economic power
would cause her incalculable mischief
Our total exports in 1901 were only
4,155, 100000 francs, of which Eng
land took 1,264,000,0O0 francs, or
more than 90 per cent of all the mer-
chandise which we cast on the
worlds market. But even of more i'm
portance is the fact that the amount
of English purchases in France is
constantly growing. From 1882, 000,-
900 francs in 1896 1t rose to 1,132,000,-
900 francs in 1897, to 1,23S,000, 900
francs in 1899, and to 1.264.000,000
francs in 1901, thus showing an in
crease of $4,000, 00e francs, or over
% per cent in five years. Now the
purchases from the mother country Of
all the French colonies, including
Algeria, 259,0OO,0O0 francs, and Tunis,
about $4,000, 900 francs, together with
those scattered all over the world,
about 1SS.OOO.OO0 francs. did not
amount in 1900 to more than 10000
900 francs. Besides this colossal
amount of purchases. the English
yearly spend considerable sums in
France The money left in our coun-
try by Englishmen visiting Paris or
their favorite resorts is commonly
estimated at 5O0.0OO,O0O francs. thus
making $500 100000 francs as the
formidable total yearly paid by Erg-
land 10 France"

The Bacon Idea.

Prof. Thomas Shaw: In our 1udg-
ment no more important question con-
fronts the growers of swine to-day.
The operation of breeds Is only lit
tie pigmy compared with the gigantic
question of lard and bacon swine. 1t
means more to the country than many
shall ever know. Millions in our judg-
ment are bound up in it, since 1t
bears directly on the stamina OF swine,
upon their prolificacy, upon correct
methods of feeding swine and also
the soil, and upon providing for man
the kind of pork which is most to his
liking. But do not look for the bacon
idea to prevail in this country, as II
does in Canada or Denmark for many
years to come, If indeed ever, especi-
ally in the corn belt. | do not, there
fore. plead for the bacon idea to cap
ture the British bacon market as those
countries have, but rather because OF
what there is in the idea for us. My
contention is that we can grow bacon
pork more cheaply pound for pound
than we can grow lard pork. And
when we do grow it we have super
ior quality of meat. We can grow
bacon more cheaply because swine
thus grown are more prolific, they are
less liable to diseases, and can better
resist disease when it comes. Such
pork is more relished by the consumer
and will eventually command higher
price and the notifications necessary
in growing it will have beneficent in
fiuence on the industry and on the
maintenance of fertility in land.

Rape and Corn-StaIk Disease.


From Farmers Review: Some time
ago l wrote you about sowing rape in
corn as a preventive for corn stalk
disease" Now as to whether 1t will
prevent it or not in all cases l can't
say, but it has in my case anyway,
and more than that it has made
lot Of feed, and at very slight cost.
Then it shades the ground and keeps
all weeds from growing, as it will be
a long time before all corn will be
cut with the corn binder. l would ad-
wise all corn growers to try few
acres of rape, and it won't be long
till they will sow it in all corn not
intended to BE- cut My cattle are eat
ing it now, and will leave good corn
fodder to go to the field and Craze
on the rape. 1t will remain green and
growing till winter sets in and then
the cattle still enjoy it. l sowed two
to three pounds Of seed per acre ahead
of the cultivators the last time
through, and then ran the shovels
from IL to 2 inches deep. 1t will not
do to let milk COWS run on rape alone.
as it taints the milk, but for young
stock and sheep it Is certainly great
help, as it fills in just right in that
hardest of all times between grass and
hay, when nearly every farmers cat

use any more of your valuable space.

The Pigs.

r. C. Hoffman: Be sure and give
the pigs plenty Of exercise, and as
soon as possible the little pigs should
be taught to eat. BY providing a little
pen wherein they can get cracked corn
and sweet milk, they will soon be
able to get away with lots of feed
and will transform 1t into bone and
flesh, thereby decreasing the drain on

This Is the Way OF Love.
Cornelia fingered in the garden, be-
cause she had suddenly, and as yet I'M
consciously, entered into that tender
mystery, so common and SO sovereign,
which we call Love. In Hyde's pres
ence she had been suffused with a
bewildering, profound emotion, which
had fallen on her as the gentle showers
fall to make the flowers of spring
This handsome youth, whom she had
only seen twice, and in the most for
NAL manner, affected her as no other
mortal ever done. She was a little
afraid.

thought; "and it is as If l had new,
strange, exquisite life. Ought l tell
my mother? But how can 1? l have
no words to explain-I do not under
stand-Alas! if l should be growing
wicked"
The thought made her start; she
fastened her steps towards the large
entrance door, and as she approached
it a negro in fine livery of blue and
white threw the door wide open for
her. She turned quickly out of the
hall, into a parlor full of sunshine.
A lady sat there hemstitching a dam
ask napkin; lady Of dainty plain
ness, with face full of craven exper-
fence and mellow character. AS Cor
nelia entered she looked up with a
smile, and said, as she slightly raised
her work, lit is the last of the dozen,

"You make me ashamed of my idle
ness, mother. l went to Embree's for
the linen thread, and he had just
opened some English gauzes and lutte
strings. Mrs. Willets was choosing a
piece for new gown, for she is to
dine with the President next week,
and she was so polite as to ask my
opinion about the goods. Afterwards,

coming back / met, on Broadway,
Lieut. Hyde, and then he walked home
with me. Was it wrong? l mean
was it polite-I mean the proper
thing to permit? knew not how to
prevent it."
How often have you met Lieut..
Hyde?"
81 met him for the first time last
night. He was at the Sylvesters'."
'And pray what did Lieut.. Hyde
say to you this afternoon"
HE gave me the flowers, and he
told me about beautiful opera, Of
which l had never before heard. 1t
is called Figaro He asked permits
sion to bring me some of the airs
tonight, and l said some civilities.

wrong, mother?"
81 will say no. my dear; as you

Mother, Arenta has bought blue
lutestring. Shall l not also have a

sweet and genteel, and I think Mrs.
Jay will not forget to ask me to her

sure to be there, and 1 wish to walk

MARY SHAW.

The expected large demand for seats for Mary Shaw's appearance in Ib- sens Ghosts tomorrow evening at Polls occurred today and the fndica- tions at this time point to very large and very fashionable audience. Ev- cry educated person has read more or less of Ibsen, but very few have seen his plays for the reason that they have seldom been presented. Although his masterpiece, Ghosts was first pro- dupced in Norway over score of years ago. it was never sent on tour through this country until this season. Leading critics have asserted that Ghosts is the strongest play of modern times. It has been termed, and we'll termed. drama of heredity. Tn many respects it is one of the strongest plays in the whole history of the stage. Its really, marvellous power, the wonderfully ef- fective way. the results aimed at are reached, it's strong grip on the auditor and the superb opportunity it gives rlavers of the right. kind to display their talents. is unquestioned. As presented by Mary Shaw. and her com panv. it was one of the fost pronounced successes of the New York season. The New York production and cast will he seen at Polls complete. Prices are 9. 50. 75 cents, S1 and S1.5O.
