POULTRY HOUSE DEVICE.
Clever Little Invention, Recently Pat.
ented, IL Calculated to Prevent
Crovvding and vermin.

The illustration shows q novelty
which Hiu recommend itself to the
poultry keeper for two reasons. First,
because it will prevent the fowls from
crowding each other on the roosts;
and, second, because of the provision
it makes for bringing a vermin de-
stroyer within close proximity to the
fowl while roosting without the latter
touching it. These devices can be
brought into use in connection with
the roosting poles already in position
in the henhouse. and consequently
there is no expense for changing the
roosts. The invention is q simple

one, consisting Of a single piece Of
wire which Is formed into loop near
one end, with the shorter end formed
into screw to aid in inserting it in
the wooden roost. The longer end is
not bent to its final position until
after the screw is inserted into the
wood, when the loose end is twisted
into the location shown below the
roost. It is an easy matter to attach
a small rag or piece of sponge to the
depending end with any liquid vermi-
eide, and the vaporizing of this liquid
will serve not only to keep the vermin
from crawling over the roosts, but
drive the lice from the bodies of the
fowls, as the odor will permeate the
feathers when the birds are on the
roosts at night.-Cincinnati CONNER.

had been built q little ways back from

and he was much interested in its coy
appearance until aroused from his con-
lectures by another picture even more
pleasing, almost at his elbow. A sleek
jersey cow munching something from
a wooden bucket was the first thing he
noticed; and then the prettiest girl he
hadsever seen, milking the COW, was the
next and most important part of the
picture. Dobson lifted his fore-and-aft
zap profoundly. II beg your PARDON s.

ically as she said .:sthisa is Meredith's
place" ''Oh, yes, Meredith's, s." replied
Dobsoh amiably. 81 knew it belonged
to someone and Jackson was the first
name that came into my head" The
young lady smiled at his impudence
and; was about to turn to her milking
when Dobson said, humbly: 'Icertainly
don't wish to appear importunate, but
how on earth did this Jersey cow hap
pen to be introduced into this land
scape? Why this elaborate cottage
and such milkmaid? Why it's like a
comic opera scene and would give a

The young lady looked at him again
very sharply and then said: II see by
the scar on your right cheek that you
are Frank Dobson.'' s 's 'ss
Dobson's hand instinctively went up
to his face. It was an old scar and q
deep one. He had fallen from tree

exercised ii procuring additional stock.

whether they are healthy. A healthy
fowl always has q bright scarlet comb,
and this ts particularly SO with laying

be new, which indicates that they have

"The dairyman's horse learns few
things as he goes on his daily round,s'
said man who lives up town, re-
ports the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, "and I had occasion to observe
this fact recently. It came about
in very pathetic way. For many
years I have been patronizing one
milkman, and for the past several
years he has been driving an old
frame of a horse. The animal was
not very fast, but he was faithful.
One day not long ago the old milk
man was suddenly stricken with par
alysis while making his round, or
just as he had completed it. At any
rate, he was in his wagon and was
SO violently afflicted that he could not
move, could not do anything for him
self.
"The horse seemed to understand
the situation; so he pulled the wagon
home with his master in it. / did
not know about this until several
days after it happened. I missed my
milkman for several days, and did not
understand why it was. thought
probably the old fellow was sick, or
that something had happened to him.
In 10 few days q strange milkman
stopped in front Of my house. He
came in and asked If the old man
calling his name-had been delivering
milk at my place. told him that
he had, and inquired what was the
matter with the old fellow. Then he
told me the old dairyman had been
stricken with paralysis, and was In
q desperate condition.

"Thank you!" eaid the shabby little

back her old bonnet with knot of
black ribbon replacing its antique red
flower. ''It's real kind of you, Mis-

for outward marks of mourning, any

pity for folks that were bearing grief,
but they weren't always the same folks

disrespect-" she choked, and then
added: II suppose folks have been say

reaved woman.
"Poor thing! I'm sorry for her.
But did you know she attended the
sewing-circle three days after the
funeral? OF course she must have
been fond Of her daughter-but it was

It was strange, as it is strange that
a man MORALLY hurt sometimes keeps
on with his task Of the moment, me-
chemically, till he drops. Under the
shock of great wound of the spirit,
the poor mother, half-stunned, had
gone, unthinking and uncaring, with
her round Of life in it's usual order, of
which the weekly sewing-circle was q

The grief Of the mourner, when itis
accepted as genuine, draws genuine
sympathy from all but scant few of
the worst of us. But there are many,
neither best, nor worst, nor even bad,
who allow themselves to suspect q
grief not borne as they would bear It.

FEEDING FOR COLOR.
e Can he Done At SMALL Expense ana
Without 1nJurinS the Health
Of the Chickens.

Assuming that the chickens which It
is intended to feed for color. are the
product Of well-colored stock birds.
there is no reason why their color
should not be Intensified by direct feed
ing as canaries are fed; but this must
be done more with q view to supple
menting the tendency to sound color.
than to altering itmaterially. It is not
much use! attempting to color feed an
adult bird-the experiment must be
tried upon chickens, and they must be
color fed from the shell. The proper
principle to follow is to supply a lit
tie color food regularly small guam
tity given in systematic way, but not
spasmodic dosing on large scale. II
the birds be accustomed to it from
Matching time upwards. and then when
passing through their first or chicken
moult they be given a rather more lib
eral supply. that is all that can be done.
After the moult the color, of course.
will be determined, and one cannot alter
the color Of feathers which have al
ready developed-one can only do that
during the process OF development,
When the moult is finished, therefore.
and the color. is fixed for the time being.
the color food may be almost entirely
discontinued; but 1t should not be al
together given up, because fowls are
constantly losing feathers, and il the
effect Of this feather food upon the
system be not maintained, by constant
~ giving small doses Of It, there is q
possibility that any feathers which may
be lost will be replaced by those Of q
different color. The effect Of the color
food. therefore. must not be allowed
to entirely lapse from the blood. The
expense Of keeping up color feeding
on limited scale like this Is not great.
