HINTS on FEEDING POULTRY.

HINTS on FEEDING POULTRY.
Sitting hens should be as well fed
rs those that are laying, but the feed
ing should be different. Grain should
be left where they can get it when
ever they desire to come off the nest.
This is done not only as a matter of
convenience. but also to insure the
hens getting all they want to eat, and
also to get them into the habit OF
coming of regularly; which they will
be more apt to DO If they know the
food is always obtainable. 1t is bet
ter to feed all whole grain in good
variety. such as corn. oats and wheat.
The reason is that all the food a sit
ting hen requires is for her bodily
maintenance. She is non-prOducer
and will therefore be able to satisfy
her needs without soft food, vegeta-
bles or meat. though n little Of these
will be n benefit. The danger lies in
feeding so much vegetable food rs to
loosen the bowels or so much meat as
to stimulate Il desire TO discontinue
sitting and so to laying.-Country Life

TO Indigestion, too much food being

DAY DREAM.

Way up yonder in the hills
Echoes caught the wild birds trills;
Every night the wind sang low
That strange song we used To know,
When we loitered by the way,
Where the butterflies. so gay,
Held their revels by the stream,
Like mad fairies in a dream.
It's the song we used to hear
When the tiny brook, so clear,
Laughed and leaped beside the road,
Where so carelessly we strobe.
Clang of bell and whistles note,
Railway train and ferry boat,
Bid us rouse ourselves anew.
For the world has work To do.
Wonder if the butterflies
Still delight some loiterer's eyes.
Wonder if the song yet thrills
Way up yonder in the hills.

DEMAND FOR STEEL AND IRON.
Unprecedented Importations in the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2.-The

steel is illustrated by the statistics of

fractures just issued by the treasury
bureau of statistics. These figures COW
er eleven months of 1902, and show
that the tmportations during that time
are more than double in value those of
the corresponding months of the pre-
ceding year and indicate that for the
full calendar year of 1902 the total
value of iron and steel imports will be
fully $40,000,OO0, or more than in anv
year in a full decade.
The iron and steel Tnanufa cturers of
the United States have prided them
selves upon their ability to fully sup
ply the home market and produce a con-
siderable surplus for expectation. That
they were making great gains in this
direction until the exceptional demand
of recent years, is evidenced from the
fact that imports of iron and steel
steel manufactures which amounted to
$61,OOO,OOO in 1882, and $53,000,OOO in
1891, had steadily fallen since the lat
ter date, until they were only $12O0O.-
600 in 1892. In 1900, however. there was
a slight increase, but the figures of
1902, as already indicated. will exceed

MGR. GUIDI REPORTS
ON THE PHILIPPINES
Hopeful for Settlement and Says Cath
olic Schism Will Be Put Down.

ROME, Jan. 2.-The Vatican is in
receipt of the first long report on the
situation in the Philippines from Mgr.
Guidi, apostolic delegate in the islands.
The delegate expresses the hope that
as he and the governor are both ami
mated by a desire to maintain the pa
ctfication and secure the prosperity Of
the islands they will succeed in reach
ing an understanding satisfactory to
Rome Washington and the Philippine
people.
Mgr. Guidi gives a summary Of the
evidence he has collected with regard
to the selling of the friar lands, the
settlement of rentals, damages due the
church, the conveyance Of titles and
the administration of charitable and
educational trusts. He thinks the
question of the withdrawal Of the
friars will be solved through the re-
organization of the church.
The delegates says the schism in the
Roman Catholic church in the Phil
ippines will be put down, although the
separatist movement is believed to be
encouraged by the peoples dislike of
the friars and their desire to have a
Filipino church not connected with the
ancient regime.
