To Cure Eroody Hens.

Having recently seen several differ
ont ways Of "breaking up"broody hens
advocated by the poultry writer's. none
! Of which seem to me desirable. l have
thought it might be help to some one
if I give my method.
We should always remember that we
keep hens for what we can make out
of the business, hence that method
which quickest cures and sets "biddy'
to laying again is the one that should
be adopted Of all the cures advocat.
ed. tliat of confning the hens in dark
coops for several days without-fo IS
the least desirable 1t il not only cruel
and abusive, but it is Improbable.
Improbable, because it detracts from
the energy and nerve force of the non
and throws the whole system into an
unnatural condition. The system must
Dc again brought into its normal state
before the process Of eggmaking can
begin.
My method, briefly stated. is this:
Remove the broody hen from the nest
and shut her up in light. we'll ven
tilated COOP or room, where she, can
move around and be induced to take
exercise. For this purpose l have
made stationary coop in one corner
Of the .hennery large enough to hold
thirty hens. The floor is three feet
above the floor of the henhouse. and
the sides are Of common laths nailed
together in an upright position. a
door, also Of laths. admits the hens to
the COOP and let's them out. There
are roosts in this coop. which arc Il
great help in curing them Of the sit
ting fever" as Il hen breaks up moro
easily when given chance to roost at
night than when compelled to sit oil
the floor.
I feed them hearty meal OF whole
oats in the morning and give them
all the water they want at night. [
keep them confined two days and then
let them out toward night, when they
get a good supper with the rest Of the
:. flock.
The hens that return to the nests
. arc put in the Jail for another two days
and treated as before. and the process
is repeated until the desire to sit leaves
them. Under this trea tment they do
not fall awy or lose energy, and ara
all ready to lay again rs soon as the
wish to sit passes off. In cold weather
feed more. giving some corn and
meat with the oats, but in summer
find oats alone. with hearty supper
every second day. much better.
The chief object is to get the broody
hen away from the nest and then treat
her in such way that there will be
an increase Of energy rather than
loss of vital force.
If YOU have serious trouble in "break-
ing up" your broody hens. try this
method and learn that kindness and
good care, with plenty to eat. are better
than rough handling and starvation.
RI your hens average more than ten
DAYS between the desire to sit and the
wish to lay again. there is something
wrong with the breeding Of your flock.

Treating Forbidden in Vermont.

Vermont saloonkeepers and steady drink.
ers alike are perturbel to discover that the
new local option liquor law contains a feat
ure which is calculated to diminish the
profits of the one and the enjoyment of
the other. 1t IS Section &c, and it reads,
thus: }
"No Intoxicating liquor snail he sold or
furnished TO person or'another person, or
any number Of persons. to drink on the il
censed premises, in the way commonly
known as treating"
This unique provision Of the law did not
figure in the debate upon the measure,
which was directed almost wholly to the
general issue involved without much re-
gard to details, and it attracted little notice
after the law went into eject until the To-
cal authorities in license towns and cities
began to warn saloonkeepers that they
must not violate it. under penalty os for
feiting their liccnses.-Boston Journal.

danger. but there has been sustained
the loss Of the anchor and part OIL
the cable, which is often matter OF
very considerable moment. An an
chor has been recently placed on the
market, the design Of which is SAID 10
overcome this danger by Offering a
Yielding connection between the an
rhor and the cable chain. which con-
nection ahsorbs all sudden or undue
strain and increases the life of the
chain and anchor by very great deal.
The shank of the anchor is hollow
and its interior is divided Into three
uartitions- Through the centre of the
hollow shank there extends rod with
two perforated piStons. one on each
side Of the central partition. These
chambers arc filled with oil to take up
the shock Of sudden stress by acting
as an elastic cushion. On opposite
sides of the shank are two auxiliary
pistons. working in chambers similar
to the one described. but of smaller
dimensions. All three plstonS are held
III their normal position l'y means OF
springs, which carry them back to
their proper places after each disturb
ancc.
By the operation Of the perforated
pistons and the auxiliary pistonS a
complete cushion is obtained, and yet
the parts are Of sufficient strength to
stand the wear and tear to which they
are put. Such device will be of great
value to the smaller craft along the
sea coast, and especially to q great

A Timely Warning.

The modern department store" within
whose ample walls, inclosing acres OF
sIace, you can buy anything from a sSoe-
string to an automobile, is certainly
great convenience to the world of shop
pers. But convenience can be carried too
far. 1t is already carried too far when it
places great and; perilous temptation In
the path of those who should be especially
protected :ainst allurements to evil.
II has long been believed by those who
have given the subject attention that in
temperance is increasing among a class OF
women not until recently exposed to the
danger of acquiring the drink habit. The
ordinary saloon, with its vulgar associa-
tions, offers no attraction to respectable
woman. She would not risk her rcputa-
ton by venturing within its door. Even
the fashionable restaurants, where women:
can be seen any day openly drinking in
toXicating liquors, have but limited
clientele. after all. But now come the de-
partment stores to supply the lacking ia
cilities for Turing thoughtless women to
destruction. Since they have taken up
the vile traffic in liquors it is easy for
woman who would not show her face in a
saloon to procure liquors without exposing
herself to the slightest obloquy.. Many of
the retail grocery stores offer the same in
sidous temptation, and through those two
agencies the sale Of intoxicants for family
use has enormously increased. That this
is cause for serious alarm is strongly
confirmed by letter that has been shown
lis from che New York State Excise Com
missioner, Mr.. Patricl, w. Cullinan. writ
ten to the Rev. Heryey Wood, field secre-
tary Of the National Temperance Society.
Mr.. Wood wrote to Mr.. Cullinan for GER
tain information. and in his letter referred

htyt ho 0f
eaness among respectable women. MIR.
Culinan replied:

aware of the increase of drunkenness in
this respect, and have viewed with alarm
the growth Of this habit.

prohibited in every department store and
grocery. and permitted in drug stores only:

is a source of great profit to the proprie-
