Bone In Poultry Feed.

The closer we follow nature in the
feeding of fowls the better we are likely
to get on in the poultry business. And
in the natural state fowls are largely
insect (meat) eaters. 1t is. only in the
late summer, fall and winter that wild
fowl are seed (grain) eaters. Then In
the wild state every instinct of materni-
ty has passed out of the gallinaceous
mind. The fowls have cast off their
young, and have but one desire to lay
on fat against the day of short forage
and severe cold. 1t is only with the
return of warmth, and a supply of vege
table and animal Gnsect) food that the
instinct for maternity revives and egg
laying begins.

Keep the Old Geese.

The old geese make better layers and
mothers than the young ones. and can
be kept for breeding for years. As old
geese are not readily salable in market
the young ones only should be sold. II
given good range geese will cost but
little, as they delight in green food and
insects and will forage industriously.

FALLS FROM A WINDOW
Patient at Philadelphia
Hospital Has Bad Fall-At- !
tendants Powerless.
New York Sun Special Service.

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-Three fe-
male nurses and a woman physician,
assisted by patient proved them
selves heroines at the Woman's' hos
pital yesterday in a vain attempt to
prevent an hysterical patient from
leaping from the fourth story window
to the ground.
For fully five minutes the nurses
held the woman by the shoulders and
arms, she dangling outside the win
dow. Their strength became ex-
hausted, and so desperately did the
patient struggle that to save them
selves the plucky young women inside
the window were compelled to let her
drop to the ground. She sustained
injuries that it Is feared may result
fatally.
The victim was Elizabeth MCGOWAN,
35 years old, of 2431 Carpenter street.
She was admitted to the hospital Mon
day. suffering from nervousness and
insomnia.
While the struggle was going on at
the window a nurse and a woman ply
sician hurried outside and stretched a
blanket, in the hope of breaking. the
woman's fall. When the body fell it
just missed the edge Of the blanket.

elements, both of sufficient Importance

day from their annual trip of 1nspec-
ton of the company's vast system OF
properties thoroly imbued with the
idea that the present is the proper
time for effecting economies. This
will mean not only the closing of

The most important question which
the steel trust officials have to con-
slider in:the near future is the wage
, question and the labor, difficulty. The
executive officials and directors who
returned to-day gave it as their opin-
/ ion that the wage question would set
tie itself in time, but that reductions
IN wages would undoubtedly have to
be made. On this point the directors
are practically agreed. How the
problem of making reductions In
wages will be worked out has not

panies and their officials will deal d.
rectly with their men, but the steel

Washington, Oct. 21.-The interests

law promise to arouse some excite
ment during the regular session this

Roadway and the aim will be to Sc
cure legislation which will place the

which the new law was injected into
the appropriation bill without giving
them an opportunity to know it's pur-
port or its effect or to have, it debated
/ in either house. They claim that
friends of the idea, stole a. march ON
them and that now there must be a
chance to- discuss the matter of food
inspection.
An effort will be made to graft on
the pure food law, known as the
Hepburn bill, such legislation as
| shall protect importers from what
they call summary and arbitrary
practices. They want the J. whole
business of food inspection made a
part of the department of com.
merce. where they say it naturally
belongs. At present they assert thai
there is a ring in the department OF
agriculture bent on getting control o,
the enforcement Of the new law, that
it is purposed to build up large bu.
reau with many clerks and officials
and that the inducement is held out tc
members of congress to support the
scheme In order to have a share ir
