The summer residents who HE away to
their city homes before the tints of ripe
ness glow on the trees OF the forest, lose a
great deal OF natures color pictures And
such sunsets as October has given us this
year!
hope you have stood some night when
the sun had just passed tue lie Of the
horizon, and looked at the glowing west
shaded in indescriba bic tints.
Watching one sucn could but contrast
1t with that same hour night or two pre-
vious, when the he ,vens were densely
black, a, gloom settled over everything.
Then came the thought, these are nature's
moods; and may it not be natural for ali
of u to be subj ct to moods?
Not many humans" are always alike.
And often one cannot tell whence come
the conditions of mind and whittier flee
good judgment and control of spirit.
But must not introduce "moods" as a
subject for discussion yet. Its save it
for some "dry timen, for see this self
satisfied" question isn't settled by any
means.
Perhaps l didn't make my meaning
quite clear, but am going to wait awhile

The PeaROwl.

Like the guinea fowl, this bird is
more for the open ground than for con-
fined space. 1t has a wandering tend
ency. and its call is harsh. Its great
attraction is its beauty, Of which 1t Is
needless to speak, 1t Is extremely easy
to manage, as Its wants are few. Pur-
chase few chicks and turn them down
in the grounds where you intend feed
ing them. The poultry food will be
sufhcient for them. Any house scraps
you may give them will be readily par
taken Of Feed them regularly and al
ways in the same place.
Peafowl will roost when they can on
the branches of tall trees or on the
roofs of buildings. The hen makes her
nest on the ground, preferably in a
shrubbery or long grass. She will Law

Will assist in the care OF the young.
while others will kill them. Some hens

II they do not have brood of their

OLD RULES STILL GOOD.
what Tx. Fetch Said About Scientific
Feeding Twenty-Five Years ago.

Feeding Twenty-Five Years ago.
I'm these days Of balanced rations and
scientific feeding the following. from
the pen of |. K. Fetch and published
as early as 1877, will be appreciated:
"a few words upon the use Of the
several condiments advertised for fowls
or egg production may not prove amiss
in this work.
I'm most cases, where these condi-
ments are needed, the breeder is trou-
bled to obtain variety of food for his
flock. We have demonstrated the ne
cessity Of the daily use Of flesh. yege-
table and grain food, and where the
meat and vegetable elements are lack
ing their constituent parts have to be
supplied in a concentrated form. Thus
sulphur and iron become q necessity,
and want of time to supply in their
natural form all the elements of food
that are necessary has caused a large
demand for these specific foods and
condiments for fowls. Therefore
word of direction for their use will
prove an advantage.
"Of the many kinds now in use it is
safe to say that in all are found nearly
the same ingredients. the quantity of
each In the compounding being the
greatest difference in them. These
condiments and egg foods should be
carefully administered.
mo general rule can be followed.
One should begin with less than di-
rected and increase the quantity until
the desired result is accomplished
I'VE have, In testing some of the egg
foods. given them as directed and
forced some of the fowls to lay three
soft shelled eggs In single night, two
hens side by side producing five such
eggs In night. 1t is evident, then,
that In such cases the food becomes
abOrtive.
Breeding fowls should not be al
lowed to lay more than 100 eggs in the
six months termed the breeding period,
and II they are TO be found falling off
from that ratio the food may be used to
stimulate them 10 q natural production
or overfat fowls may be induced to
lay more freely by its use and their fat
reduced to some purpose.
Fowls kept to produce eggs for the
market may be fed upon this food more
freely until they are forced up to theiH
full constitutional limit, and when
molting time comes they may be killed
and marketed for poultry. Birds thus

Too Much Gras..

1t is the custom Of many farmers to
give their geese nothing but grass be-
fore they are put on the stubble fields,
says B. White in Poultry. In conse-
quence Of this when first put out they
are very thin. but 1t is great mistake
after the stubble has been cleared to
return them to that diet. for they win
lose almost as much In weight as they
have previously gained. After the corn
has been cleared from the stubble
fields the geese should be given a feed
OF corn once dav TO keep them in good
condition.

Murdoch walked away without an
other word, but that night the woman
told her brother softly and with evil
dent desire to be grateful, that papa
was so scrupulous, he didn't want the
children to receive such presents"
SO the brother, flushing red, took back
his barbaric gifts and went to bed In
the morning, soon after breakfast, he
went out of the house, called a cab, and
bade the driver take him to 2441 Penrose
street. The doll and the battleship had
not arrived, and he was going after
them. he got out of the cab in a squalid
street, and went into the only house in
the block 1t was dirty, tumbledown
cottage, built below grade and with
sign For Sale" nailed to the rickety
fence. A thin woman, in an old, faded
wrapper, came to the door.
Il came 20 see if"

interrupted him. "I knew they wasn't
for us, sir-won't you come in?"
He stepped into the dingy room and
saw bigeyed, frail girl of seven fond
ling the great French doll
"You see. sir" said the woman,
breathless to explain, "the things come
while l was out work over at the shoe
factory, and-my name is Murphy, sir
and when the things come nobody was

on his wagon and went away, an, of
course, the children seen the bundles
an nothin' would do but they must open
'em. That's all, sir; we didn't want to-
| hope you don't think we'd steal EN-"
She was out of breath now, and the
two children-the boy, sturdy lad of
ten, had come in-were staring, fright
ened. at the colonel. He looked at them
a moment and then at the mother.

said. II called to look at the house. It's

He saw the look of anxiety pass from
her homely face. The children, delight
ed with the reprieve, ran back to their
splendid toys. He made show of look
ing through the stuffy rooms, and when
he was going gave each of the little
ones a coin.
| "Good-by, madam" he said to the

And when he was in the cab again he
stroked his gray mustache and
chuckled:
