SOME HARMLESS OATHS,
drinkers Dam" and "Twopenny
Dam" May Be Used in Select Cir
cles Without a Qualm.

In the United States it is common to
say that you don't give tinker's dam"
for something or other. Our English
cousins, in similar circumstances, say
"a twopenny DAM" Each of these ap-
parent oaths is harmless, and may be
used in polite society without a qualm.
Rear Admiral Casey, noticing look of
surprise on the face of a friend when he
said thinkers DAM observed: Il
guess you think I'm swearing, but I'm
not. A dam is a contrivance resorted to
by all thinkers in their work." The
phrase ''twopenny DAM was first used
by the great duke of Wellington. His
administration of the British army was
attacked, and he astonished the house
of lords by replying:
II don't care, and the British army
don't care a twopenny dam for any of
these criticisms" Then he explained
that "a dam was an Indian coin of the
value of twopence."

HORSES THRIVE ON SlLACE
But, Says an Indiana Man, It Must
Be Fed Judiciously and with
Some Care,

When sllage was first introduced
many cases of sickness in horses were
reported and it was then thought
sllage was not suited for hors es under
proper care, however, good silage is a
safe and valuable food for horses,
When beginning to- feed silage, allow
the animal to become accustomed to
the food by degices, as this is as i'm
pOrtant as when changing from old to
new corn or from hay to grass. At
the first feed give small amount and
increase gradually as the animals ap-
petite and condition of bowels may in.
dictate. Silage makes a good roughage
for horses when used in connection
with hay or slower and grain. Silage
is also a good feed for hogs and has
been found to be economical to use in
conjunction with corn as mainte-
nance 1ation, but not so if used alone.
All good silage contains large
amount of corn and if large ration Of
corn is given besides, it often proves
dangerous and gives bowl trouble.
Hogs fed from % to IS popods of Sill
age and Ia to q pounds of corn On
the cob per week can be kept in good
condition through the severe winter.
BY using silage the feeder saves one
third in the cost of feed. Silage is
considered a cheap maintenance ration
for carrying brood sows over winter,
and not for fattening.-A or. cultural

SHOWS SAVED BY MUSIC,
Regulations Of Comedy Singers Are
Often Made by the Aid of
Good Orchestra.

Many poor show is saved from fail
ure because of a good orchestra. This,
says the Chicago Tribune, is what a
prominent theatrical manager of the
city says. The worse a show is the
more necessary is it that the men who
sit before the stage and assist the per-
formers to get through the piece should
be first-class musicians. Few chorus
girls have any idea of what music
and harmony really is and hardly any
Of them have good voices, according to
this man.
In order that a musical piece may go
through satisfactorily the orchestra
must be of a character strong enough
to play the score properly and to swing
the chorus when it begins to wander
from the right key. If it were not for
the orchestra with its music covering
up the defects of the chorus many of
the musical comedy ensembles would
be wonderful to listen to.
"The best orchestras in this city are
to be found in the small theaters de-
voted to the musical comedy and bur-
tremely. necessary. If we had a lot
of cheap men to play for us here the
public would get to think that the mu-
steal comedy was horrible thing in
deed. 1t is next to impossible to get
q full chorus wherein each member is
an accomplished singer. Consequently
there are times when the efforts of the
musicians in the pit come as bless
ing not only to the stage manager, who
is tearing his hair behind the scenes,
but also to the public out in front.
When the chorus get particularly bad
the orchestra bears down strong, and
before long the chorus is swung back
into the proper key. If the orchestra
was no good it would follow the cho-
rus when it gets off the track and so
queer the whole show"

Se always moist.
The dust heap aids materially to
cleanse the feathers and skin from YER

The eggs from hens by themselves
will keep good three times as long as
those that are fertile.

not retain the late-hatched pullets, as
they will not lay until spring.
In feeding fowls at any time, whether

her, and am far more worthy of her
than he is. He is not a well-disposed
man, being rough and inconsiderate in
his speech" Dickory had never for
given the interview by the river bank
when he had gone to see Madam Bon
net. "And as to his. being stout low
er, he is none of it. Had he been that,
he would long ago have crossed the
little sea between Barbados and here. !"

claimed Dame Charter, Ito say that
you presume to love our Mistress
Kate?" And her eyes glowed upon him
with all the warmth of mothers
pride, for this was the wish OF her
heart, and never absent from it.
"Ay, mother" said Dickory, Il shall
fight for her; shall show her that
am worthier than he is and that love
her better. I shall even strive for her
if that mad pirate comes back and
tries to Overset everything"

it before that!'
Mr.. Delaplaine was little troubled
by the promised visit from Barbados.
He had heard of Master Newcombe as
being most estimable young man, but
the fault about him, in his opinion, was
that he resided not in Jamaica. For
a long time the good merchant had
lived his own life, with no one to love
him, and he now had with him his Sis
ter's child, whom he had come to look
upon as daughter, and he did not
wish to give her up. 1t was true that
it might be possible, under favorable
pressure, to induce young Newcombe
to come to Jamaica and settle there, but
this was all very vague. Had he hac
his own way, he would have driven
from Kate every thought of love OF
marriage until the time when his new
clerk, Dickory Charter, had become a
young merchant of good standing
worthy of such a wife. Then he might
have been willing to give Kate tc
Dickory, and Dickory would have
given her to him, and they might have
all been happy. That is, if that hare.

More Yard Room for Hens.

Where fowls are kept yarded they
do not often have the amount of yard
room that should be given them On
our farms restrictions of this kind are
not necessary, as land is worth too
small price to make it necessary to
lessen the amount the fowls should
have The small amount allotted to the
poultry is often due to the cost of fenc-
ing But the larger the yard the less
the cost of fencing. If no top rail is
used, four feet will be found high
enough for a wire fence. if the yard is
of good size. The smaller the yard the
higher will the fence have to be, as the
smaller the yard the more strenuously
will the fowls try to get out Of it.

"You wrote her that" said Bonnet,
with frown.
"Ay," said Greenway, IAN left it in

Weel on its way to Kingston by this
day."
That afternoon Capt. Bonnet called
all his men together and addressed
them.
He made very good speech, bet
ter one than that delivered when ne
first took real command of the Re-
venge after sailing out of the river at
Bridgetown, and it was listened to
with respectful and earnest interest
In brief manner he explained to all on
board that he had thrown to the winds
all idea of merchandising or privateer-
ing; that his pardon and his ships
clearance were of no value to him ex-
cept he should happen to get into some
uncomfortable predicament with the
law; that he had no idea of sailing to-
wards st. Thomas, but intended to pro-
coed up the coast to burn and steal and
rob and STAY wherever he might find it
convenient to do so; that he had
brought the greater part of his crew
from the desert island where Black
beard had left them because he knew
that they were stout and reckless fell
lows, just the sort of men he wanted
for the piratical cruise he was about
to begin; and that, in order to mislead
any government authorities who by
land or sea might seek to interfere
with him, he had changed the name OF
the good old Revenge to the Royal
James, while it's captain, once Stede
Bonnet, was now to be known on board
and everywhere else as Capt. Thomas,
with nothing against him. He con-
cluded by saying that all that had been
done on that ship from the time she
first hoisted the black flag until the
present moment was nothing at all
compared to the fire and the blood and
the booty which should follow in the
wake of that gallant vessel, the Royal
James, commanded by Capt Thomas
The men looked at each other, but
did not say much. They were Ill
pirates, although few of them had reg
ularly started out on piratical career,
and there was nothing new to them in
this sort Of piratical dishonor. So
whenever Stede Bonnet chose to run
up the jolly Roger, he might do it for
all they cared.
Poor Ben Greenway sat apart, his
head bowed upon his hands.
"You seem to be in a bad case, old
Ben," said Bonnet, gazing down upon
him, "but you throw yourself into

All the shirt manufactures of the

OF the latest whim of American shirt
wearers, according to the statement
OF Glens Falls IN. w. agent, who

He says that in the last year and one
half the stiff-bosomed shirt has gone
into decided disfavor Large numbers
of men who have never worn any
thing but stiff-bosomed shirts now in
sist on having soft shirts for both
winter and summer.
1T is utterly unaccountable," said
the agent. ''The stiff shirt is a bust
nesslike garment 1t wears we'll and
looks we'll. But the men of the coun-
try will not have them any more. Tie
result is that shirtmakers have their
business reduced to practically one
season. 1t used to be that stiff shirts
were sold for winter and soft shirts
tor summer, but it is SO no longer Of
course there will always be sale of
stiff shirts, but it has become so linn

TIME FOR WEAVING COLTS.
How to Bring the Foals Through a
Serious Period Of Existence
with Perfect Success.

The season fer weaving foals is at
hand and it is time to make preparation
therefor, it such preparation has not al
ready been made. The colt should be
taught to eat grain and be fed res ularly
SO that it will learn to depend upon the
teed rather than upon its mothers milk.
Under such conditions there will be
much less fuss on the part of both mare
and colt when the latter is finally re-
moved, and the change will have less
erect upon the growth and condition Of
the colt, as it is extended over a long
period and effected gradually, says the
Prairie Farmer
1t Will be we'll, too, to have the colt
halter-broken before it is taken away
from it's mother At no time can it be
more readily taught to stand tied or to
leao IMAM when by the side of the dam.
EVEN II the colt is to run loose in a shed
or oox during the winters until it is old
enough to work, the halter-breakin ing at
th1s time should not be neglected. The
colt Will never forget it and when ready
20 go into harness will be much more
tractable because of the early lessons.
Again. it is often necessary to handle
the colts during their growing period
TOT the purpose of trimming the feet or
pressing wounds that have been acct
uentally inflicted and in such cases it
is a very great advantage to have them
we'll halter-broken,
Inc colt should be literally fed ON
nourlshlng. growing food during its first
winter. as its development the first year
determines largely the kind of horse
1t will make. After the first year it will
get along very we'll on coarser and
cheaper feed than some other kinds of
stock, but it should have of the hest
during the first year.
While it should have a liberal grain
ration the colt should not be fed too
much corn. Muscle and bone making
1eeos such as oats and bran are better
suited to its needs. A mixture of corn.
oats and bran make an excellent grain
ration for the colt. With good clover
or alfalfa hay for roughage. the bran
may be dispensed with. and a. larger
proportion of corn used with satisfac-
tory results.

composed Of a mixture OF the grains
named, with green food and meat,
should be divided about as follows:
Whole and ground grain, SIS per cent;
green food, 30 per cent; animal food.
Is per cent 1t is best to feed mea:
every day, giving about four and one
half pounds to each 100 fowls. If you
can secure fresh bones from the
butcher and have bone cutter, this is
probably the best. meat supply. If
bones are difficult to secure, feed a COOL
grade of beef scraps.
The number of females to one male
varies with the different breeds. For
the lighter and more active breeds,
such as Leghorns, 20; Plymouth
Rocks, Is to 20; Brahmas, 10 or u a:e
safe numbers.
In locating poultry plant it is a
great advantage to have the houses Iii
face the south or southeast. House
room 12x14 is sufficient for Is fowls
and the yards 24x100 feet are also
about right for this number. You,
plan is good if the houses all face the
south. The runs may extend from
the north side if desired. An old or
chard is an ideal place for locating a
poultry plant, and is especially vaiu-
able as a run for growing stock An
other excellent plan is to have houses
ill the middle of the runs making then,
so feet deep on each side of house.
The accompanying plan is good
one. Houses are 1Ox32 feet, divided
into two pens each 10x16. holding q
fowls each. Yards, 22x5O; two to each
pen; one in front and one in rear Of
house. The hens can be allowed to o.
cupy both yards, or may be confined
to one yard while a forage crop is
growing in the other. Portable fence
may be moved from one side to the
other, thus saving half the cost of
fence and leaving the ground on one
side of the houses clear for cultiva-
ton. The houses all face the south.
This plan may be extended to accom-
modate any number OF fowls.
