sNAILS DESTROYING CORN

Many moisture loving animals. like
sn2ilS and thousand legged worms
have been unusually numerous and
destructive this summer. 1t seems
quite reasonable TO think that the ex.

them "a breed in unusual numbers.
We are now getting reports of snaiis
lnjurinS corn, and similar damage was
reported last year. says Professor
Slngcriand in Rural New Yorker. As
the snails feed openly upon the sur.
face OF the plants and eat much like

For several weeks to come the
sp eeches of which President
Roosevelt will leave long trail
across the country will provide
the leading topics for popular
discussion. 1t is not intended
that this shall be a stumping
tour, but it is impossible for a
man of Roosevelt's tempera-
ment to make a hundred or more
speeches without saying some
thing more than the conven.
tional nothings that are usually
distributed by statesmen from
the back platforms of their spe.
clal trains. Milwaukee and San
francisco are the places where
the most important speeches
are to be made. Interesting re.
marks, however, are likely to be
heard at almost any stopping
place.

According to Alexander Com
yns of England the maintenan.
ce ration forahen weighing two
Kilograms "A A pounds) should
contain 6 a grams of protein.
p grams fat and 2St grams of
carbohydrates. As IS IS grams
is equal to an ounce, this will
mean about two ounces of pro-
tein to nine hens, one ounce of
carbohydrates per hen. When
laying they require about twice
as much protein, nearly three
times as much fat, and almost
twice as much carbohydrates.
They digest but little, if any, of
the crude fibre it their food.
American Cultivator says that
at Cornell station they found
a ration of equal parts of wheat
bran, wheat shorts and cotton
seed meal developed chickens
earlier, and for fowl produced
more eggs than those fed on
cracked corn and corn meal, but
the eggs were of poorer quality
and smaller. At West Virginia
station they found the eggs
more fertile, and more than
double in number by using nj
trogenous ration, or bran shorts
and cottonseed meal, than from
the carbonaceous ration, and it
was the most profitable, though
it cost the most.

to live. A live and prosperous
town is a desirable one. If the
citizens are united, public spir-
tied and solicitous of its good
reputation a town may live -four
ish and prosper and yet be
small. By following up these
principles it, after time, will
become larger and larger. Ev-
cry citizen should be interested
in its prosperity. One of the
ways to help a town along is for
every citizen to speak well of it..
If he is disgruntled with it and
is perpetually finding fault let
him move on somewhere else
and make room for someone
more in accord with the scnti-
ments of the majority. Beauti-
fly your own place all you can
and then do all you can to beau
tify the street in front of your
own property. Another way is
to be friendly to everybody and
courteous to strangers. Your
civility will help to make good
impressions that will be carried
away and cherished. Never for
get that you are part of the
town and that your department
helps to make up the estimate
of the place. Sell all you can at
home and buy all you can at
home. Every dollar that is sent
or carried away makes the town
that much poorer. Always
cheer on and say amen to the
man that goes in for improve
ments. Do not kick at pro-
posed movement simply because
it is not at your door. If a rich
man starts project, encourage
him; if a poor man starts, help
him. Bread thus cast upon the
waters will return to you many
fold in some way. Be united.

was ushered into the new dining room
ON the east of the hotel proper where
n royal feast bad been prepared, the
chief feature of the menu being oysters
served in the most tempting manner.
For an hour or more the guests discussed
the collation., and there probably never
was il happier gathering around the iestal

C. were features of the evening.
