HEARD AT THE CAPITOL.

Grateful for Secretary Hays efforts
on behalf of prosecuted Jews in Rou-
mania, Rev. Marcus H. Duboy. a rabbi
of Evansville, Ind, wrote him a touch
ing letter of thanks, using the Hebrew
tongue. He was somewhat surprised
to receive from Mr.. Hay an autograph
letter in the same language. Very few
persons, " among the secretary's
intimstes, were aware that he was q
Hebrew scholar of distinction.
Chauneey Depew always did have a
high opinion of Senator Hoar, but his
admiration was much increased a few

Massachusetts man said: you, Mr..
President, although a young man, can

Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, holds
the record so far this congress for a

3S pages in the Congressional Record.
He held the fioorf for six days and spoke
on an average of 21s hours a day, or is
hours in all. Asenate expert at figures
has discovered that it required 60, 800
words to express Senator Nelson's SEN
timents on this bill. His long occu-
pancy of the floor became a joke in the
senate, and he became known and was
frequently addressed as "the regular
order"

Feeding stock for market is carried
on by the farmers in this section to q
greater extent this winter than any

the most well to do class of farmers

cattle were scarce and high priced, as
but few were fattened the past winter
and summer, other cattle yer as a re-

plentiful and though the price was
good. the roads to town were any
thing but good. Hogs were also not
numerous enough to eat all the corn,
as the drought and consequent short
ness of feed induced many farmers to
sell even most of their brood sows,
Most of the farmers who had half
or a full car load of steers to feed and
had put up their w and bought a
few more from those neighbors who
were not able or inclined to feed them

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS

Roup usually comes from having
damp or drafty roosting places.
Don't force the hen to roost under
q leaky roof during the winter storms
Feed meat in some form at least
twice a week and preferably every
two days.
Don't try to trade market eggs tt
your neighbor who has invested in
choice stock.
Good feeding, good stock, no lice,
no carelessness, is sure success to any
poultry keeper.
One of the greatest mistakes made
by those keeping poultry is in feed
ing grain exclusively.
One advantage in keeping poultry on
the farm is the large amount of waste
grain they pick up.
There will be lore poultry shows

Some new statistics show that while
in England the number of births ex-

Austria by 1913, in France the births
are only 1,006, as against 1000 deaths.

A New Novel Attracting Attention.

"Lionel Ardon," by Malcolm Dearborn, is
a new historical novel brought out by Dill
lingham & Co., in November last. 1t has
many points on which to commend it for
its superiority to the reading public. There
is, at present, such a deluge of new novels
that when one can be picked out whose in.
terest is SO intense and whose characters
are so well drawn like all productions Of
true merit, it is soon placed in the first rank.
At the time of the publication of this vol.
ume we had the pleasure of favorably re.
viewing it, and we are pleased to note the
general appreciation of "Lionel Ardon" by
the American press. The following is from
the Boston Beacon:
I'm this book the reader renews acquaint.
ance with English history by means of a
story delicately conceived and very inter-
estingly told. The historical characters are
well drawn and the imaginary ones are true
to life past or present. This is the first
novel to utilize the beautiful face and char.
acter of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a
very attractive part of the story. Lionel
Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays
worthily the hero's part. The book is very
strikingly bound in dark blue and gilt with
a decorative touch by the outlines OF the
rose and thistle in colors and two inverted
swords in white"

BRooDY HENS.
of Preventing Them from VAST

There is a whole lot of mistaken no,

real thing we are after? Most of us
keep hens for the eggs they lay.
Therefore, the only correct method
of handling broody hens is not only to
stop their desire to sit, but to induce
them to begin laying again in the
shortest possible time. Many people
believe the thing to do is to shut the
broody hens in coops without food or
water and "starve them to it," Others
don't do anything. They just let them
sit it out, and incidentally feed the
lice. They seem to go on the theory
that a hen sitting is a hen resting, and
ought to grow fat doing nothing. Per-
haps she ought to, but she will not.
