Late-Hatched Chickens.

1t is not usually profitable to carry
the late-hatched chicks into winter
quarters, for they will not lay until
midwinter or early spring, hence will
consume more food than their eggs
will pay for. We have found it an eX-
cellent plan to keep the late-hatched
chicks on the range as long as possible,
and when they must be brought in and
fed place them in quarters by them
selves. Then they are given just
enough room to take moderate exer-
else, some green food and for grain
mainly corn, only enough other grain
being given them to keep them from
being corn sick. The idea Is to fatten
them as quickly and inexpensively as
possible after they are brought in
doors. They are then marketed and
bring a price which makes it profitable
to raise them to this point.

To Stop Rattle of Spokes.

A good way to overcome the rattle
of spokes is to go over the wheel and
tighten all bolts, then make water
tight trough large enough so that the
wheel may be set upright in it; this
trough should be about six inches
deep Then buy a gallon of linseed
oil and while boiling hot pour it in the
trough, set the wheel in it, rolling it
around slowly so that the crevices will
take in the oil and then, with brush,
go over, with the oil, all portions
which are not covered while the wheel
is standing in the tub. Not only will
the rattle be stopped, but the wheel
will last great deal longer under

captains voice proceeded 1t was
drawn tight as if some heavy burden
were towing at the end of 1t.
In an instant sturdy arms were pull
ling at it with will Then a stout
rope was lowered, and up it, like
monkey, scrambled Bob. followed more
slowly by Capt. Parker.
Then great cheer went up, drown
ing the roar of the storm itself, as the
crew gathered about the dripping
forms of the captain and his little
friend. A few words served to explain
what had happened.
Bob, with his eye on the captain,
had seen him carried overheard. He
knew that one end of the light tough
rope on which he sat was secured to the
bulwark, for he had tied tn" hnot that
very day. Without pausing to think
of his own danger, he took the free
end of the rope between his teeth and
was in the water almost as soon as the
captain himself.
Though he could swim like duck,
he was borne helplessly along on the
crest of the waves almost into the
arms of Capt. Parker, who caught him
as he was sweeping by. The captain
fastened the line about their bodies,
and partly swimming and partly tow
ed by the ship, they had managed to
keep their heads above water until the
Falcon was hove to.
The storm blew itself out during the
night, and the next day dawned clear
and calm.
Early in the morning Capt. Parker
sent for Bob.

well, what are you doing here,
then?" said the captain, eyeing the boy
with tremendous frown.
The boy made a brave effort and
looked at Capt. Parker through his
streaming tears.

"That's all very WELL" responded the
captain, but people who go to Amer
ica pay for their passage, and to hide
away so as to go without paying is
lust the same as stealing 80 much
money. Don't you know that?"
Bob looked up at the captains stern
face with a frightened and startled
expression.
"I-I-didn't think" he muttered
and began hurried search in the
pockets of his ragged Jacket From
one he drew forth two coppers, from
another a silver sixpence, and from
third shilling, much battered, clipped
and defaced. These he held out to th'
captain.

Bob Winter was delighted, of course.
The sailors who are wonderfully

Bob thought of Capt Parker.
The Falcon, which was a sailing
vessel. had met with head winds con-
stantly since leaving the Channel, and
on the fourth week out was struck
by a heavy gale from the northeast.
All day long the good ship labored
with the mountainous waves. leaping
and plunging till it seemed as though
the groaning. creaking masts would
come out of her. But she was stanch,
well-built craft, and had passed
through many worse tempest
With the fall of night the gale in

been reduced to the heavy lower can

he could keep an eye on the rigging

As a rule medium sized animals take
on flesh more rapidly and can be made

The best means Of increasing the
productiveness of land and Of obtain

Weeds are continually drawing from

wild pitching of the ship had fright
ened the boy. But when by the light
of a lantern near by, he saw the calm,
resolute expression on the captains
face, he felt relieved, and rather en-
joyed the excitement.
Suddenly, just as the captain was
shouting an order through the trum-
pet, vast billow seemed to rise out
of the gloom and bear down upon the
ship. 1t struck the vessels side with
an awful roar, throwing tons of water
on the deck. Before he could save
himself the captain was lifted from
his feet and flung overheard into the
sea. Almost at the same instant a
small figure was seen to leap upon the
rail, cling there a moment, and then
spring outward into the darkness and
disappear.

been reefed, the cables cOiled, and

Capt Parker paced TO and fro on his

song. Capt. Parker's song was inter-

Fattening Beef Cattle.

Prof w. A. Henry, whose reputa-<
ton as an authority on cattle feeding
cannot be doubted, suggests that,
American cattle can be fattened upon
must less grain than our feeders gen.
orally give them. He says that many
feeders in the Western and Middle
States give to their fattening stock
from twenty to thirty pounds, and
sometimes thirty-five pounds day Of
corn meal, while in England and Scot
land they seldom use more than six
or eight pounds day. They give with
this from fifty to one hundred pounds
of sliced roots, usually rutabagas, four
to five pounds of straw and from five
to ten pounds Of hay. They claim to
send as good meat to market as we
can furnish them, which we may not
doubt, but we are not sure that we
can grow the turnips as the corn
which we feed here, and whether beef
animals fed upon turnips would stand
transportation as well, either alive or
as dressed meat, as those fattened on
corn. Professor Henry thinks enslage
should take the place in our stock
feeding that roots do in England, and
we do not doubt that judicious use
of ensilage or some other succulent
food with the corn meal might induce
better digestion so that animals might
be as well fattened with less
amount of grain.

Farm Notes.

Sheep will not bear neglect and
thrive.
Cropping the orchard generally does
not pay.
A garden must be rich, mellow and
kept clean.
There is no animal more unprofita-
BILE than poor sheep.
Currant and gooseberry bushes
should be pruned every year.
No Improbable animals should be
kent a moment longer than necessity
requires.
1t Is usually best to defer trans
planting trees until the frost has killed
the leaves.

THE EMPEROR OF SURAKARTA

est Sovereign in the World.
There is an empire on this planet
which for strange originality might as
we'll be situated in Mars. 1t Is gov
erned by two emperors at the same
time, and withal is not larger than the
State Of Delaware. Both emperors re-
side in the same city, each has his own
reSplendent court, enormous revenues,
armies, imperial chancellors, govern
ment officers and courts of justice.
Only one of these emperors is known
to the outside world, nand he only to
slight extent. The name and titles of
the leading one would easily fill col
umn; his subjects, 100000 in number,
call him the Susuhunan, and he him
self modestly signs himself Pakoe Bo-
wono X.-"Nail Of the Universe, the
Tenth" In him his people venerate not
only their sovereign ruler. but also
their religious pontiff, placed so high
above them that none dares approach
him upright or cover him with a
glance; his state ministers, and even
his own brothers, crouch before him
with folded hands as if in prayer, and
with downcast eyes. Yet he Is pow
erless puppet in the hands of a small
European nation, and may not even
receive or dispatch a letter without
previously submitting it to the Javan
representative Of the Dutch. He actu-
ally rules his empire every square inch
of it, which he calls his personal prop
erty; yet he may not walk or ride out
side the palace gates without the for
mer's permission. He keeps thousands
of troops at his own expense, men with
modern swords and rifles, Amazons
with ancient lances, bows and arrows
vet he is virtually a prisoner In his
own palace, the grounds of which GOV
er nearly square mile, where there
are hundreds Of buildings, the mos
sumptuous halls, luxurious chambers
and store rooms and stables, witt
MANY thousands Of attendants. Still
he has no kitchen and no cook, his owl
meals being sent to him daily from
outside. He Is absolute master ovel
all his people, who depend for thei
livelihood entirely upon him; yet hi

GRAMMAR SCHOOL BOARD
Selection of New Teachers and nak-
 ing of New Rules.

The Grammar school board held an important meeting last night, selecting all the teachers but enc, to be eIn- ployed the coming year and making various new regulations for the COZ duct of the school.
 During the present year, including the superintendent and principal of the Center street school. twenty-nine teachers have been employed. By new regulation it has been ordered that the halliday sessions in the first grade shall be abolished and enough teachers employed to put all first grade pupils on full time. That necessitated the employment of four more teachers, making a total school faculty of thir- ty-three members.
 The exception mentioned above, the place yet to be filled, is that of prin- cipal of the Central school, Prof CCle having announced some time ago that he would not be a candidate for re- election, having accepted the principal ship of the Tempe schools for next year. Professor R. l.. McDonnold was reelected superintendent. Olive Fl. Wilkins was reelected supervisor Of drawing and music. Of the teachers new employed in the schools, the 1ol- lowing named were reelected:
 Laura Dobbs, Florence Ford, Nellie Taylor, Marguerite Williams. Pearl Rigden, Marie LaChance, Ada Kelly, Bessie Sharkey, Ida Warren. Lima Sheldon, Kate Christy, Eva Bowyer, Eleanor Merriam, J. L. Gilksrs on, Martha Garnett, Flora Mills, Zall2 Dysart, Ella Hauxhurst, Evanselihe Seeds, Mabel Phelps, Hattie Reed, Flora Conn.
 The new teachers elected are: AiiSe Resor, Alice Grier, Gertrude Ellis, Mabel Barnes, Josephine Pirdy, Ger trude Sutton, Carrie Johnson, Eudora Axtell
 Among the new rules made b-r the board is one that after this year I'll grades below the fourth. will DC Ie- moved from the Central building, these younger children being all sent to the smaller ward schools. Another new regulation is that next year :he after noon school hours will be from 1:30 to 3:3O o'clock. That will make the neon recess a half-hour longer and let the pupil out of school half hour earlier. One of the reasons for this change is to prevent the high pressure of hard work in the warm climate and an- other is to give the teachers more time for frequent teachers meetings and the performance of other school duties that now have to be neglected fer want of time.
 Another move decided upon by the board was the selection of one person to perform the various duties of clerk of the board, school librarian, c'erk to the superintendent, ceusus enumer- ator and other similar duties that they be assigned to him.
