Pin Feathers.

Pin Feathers.
Poultry to be profitable must be we
housed, we'll fed and welltreated.
Hens will stay with their brood
longer if their run is in yard separate
from other fowls.
Improve your stock by buying some
pure-bred fowls this year, or few set
ings ofeggs.
Make a pot pot-pie of a hen that eats
eggs, ditto the feather. eater, and do it
before she teaches the rest.
In ordering seeds get supply Of sun
flowers, and plant, 30 as to have the
seed next winter to feed the poultry.
Great quantities of grain and grass
seeds are wasted annually.
Give the sharp-eyed biddies chance
at the barn floor litter.
No food should be given young fowls
until they are at least twenty -four
hours old; too early feeding often caus-
es bowel diseases that prove fatal.
A flock of poultry well fed and cared
for will return their owner at least fifty
per cent more for all kinds of grain
than the miller or grain dealer will
give him.
By the liberal use of whitewash in
the spring and antnmn and the fire.
quent application of coal oil about
roosts, platforms, nests and walls, the
lodgment of lice will be prevented.
Raise chickens enough so that you
can have poultry on your table every
week in the year. Farmers might and
ought to raise more of their living
right OH the farm.
Turkeys, ducks, geese and guineas
may be hatched in the incubator and
raised in the brooder as readily as
chickens, so that in majority of cases
it can be kept running until June.
When you build the fence of wire
net, do not add rail at the top of the
net. Stretch a wire if needed. The
birds soon learn to fly over the rail be-
cause they can see it plainly.
When setting hens, mark the date of
setting and of expected Matching on
each egg with pen and ink, thus:
April $50. Then you do not need to
refer to any memorandum, but can tell
at glance all about them.
No one likes to seem unneighborly,
but when breeder has been at great
pains to attain excellence in his flock
| it seems a little unfair that bis ac-
uuaintances should ask to exchange
eggs, or seem to think him extortionate
| If be asks more for his eggs than they
get for theirs.
Some hens seem to be always above
the standard of the flock. They are
bright, active, happy, healthy and
m Quit early and quickly. They begin
to lay before the others, and keep it uE
all winter and spring. They should
be separated and bred from exclusive
''ly.

The Care OF Earth Roads.

Earth roads should be repaired, par
ticularly In the spring and fall Of the
year, but the mistake Of letting them
take care Of themselves during the
balance of the year should not be
made. The greatest need Of the COM
mon road in this country is daily or
weekly care. A road receiving daily
attention will require no extensive re-
pairs and instead of becoming worse
will gradually improve. 1t is minute
and frequent homeopathic treatment
that the earth road needs.

WALKING IN CIRCLES.
why People Lost In Fog or Forest
DO Not 60 Straight On.

1t is q matter of common knowledge
that when man is walking bIindfold-
ed or is lost in fog or i'm some un-
known forest or desert instead of
walking straight ne has always a
tendency to work round in Il circle Tie
most commonly accepted explanation
of this curious fact is the slight in
equality of a mans legs The result
Of one limb being longer than the
other will naturally be that per
son will unconsciously take a longer
step with the longer limb, and con
sequently Will trend TO the right or
to the left according as the left or
right is the longer, unless the tendency
TO deviation is corrected 10y the eye.
This explanation is supported 10y the
fact that in the enormous majority Of
cases the human legs are proved to be
of unequal length. The careful meas
uremcnts of a series of skeletons
showed that no less than 90 per cent
had the lower limbs unequal in length;
50 per cent had the right limb longer
than the left, while in - per cent the
left leg was the longer. The left leg
being, therefore, more often the longer,
it is to be expected that the inclina-
ton should take place more frequently
to the right than to the left and this
conclusion is quite borne out by OBJ
servations made on number of per
sons when walking blindfolded.

20 YEARS With QUAY,
BY HIS X-SECRETARY

The most remarkable newspaper art
/ icle of the year, one in which every
! Pennsvlvanian will be in serested, will
! take up two pages of the Sunday
! North American of Sunday, July 3.
Its study of Senator Quay, his meth
ods and his deeds, by Frank Willing
Leach, who for twenty years followed
! the fortunes of the dead Senator
through good and evil times, except
on two occasions when his judgment
regarding his duty to his party led
him to oppose his chief.
| In his tale of great events Mr.. Leach
has reserved nothing. He has written
! his story from the viewpoint of an in
timate friend and sincere admireT of
Senator Quay. He has "set down
naught in malice. His admiration
for his chief is shown III every para
graph He has, however, told Penn
sylvania history with the assurance
and verify of capable chronicler,
who observed from behind the scenes
the manipulation of Senator Quay's
political chessman. One incident after
another is cited to clear up the cloud
Of doubt that has surrounded many
political events in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Leach explains how Senator
Quay's system of political rewards
and punishments turned upside down
the plans of his lieutenants, how and
why the "insurgent' of one year be-
came the stalwart" fsvorite of the
next, and how the cherished ambitions
of men were trodden down with the
relentlessness of juggernaut, all be-
cause expediency and the smooth run
ming of the machine demanded it.
This is told by one who suffered, but
who believed the chief reasoned not
unkindly when fate removed him from
the chesSboard of politics.
This article is chapter of the un-
written political history in Pennsyl-
vania 1t will be cited when the
political mysteries of the past agaiu
come up for solution. and will stand
as authority when discussions arise.
No Pennsylvania should fail to read
it. 1t will be instructive and useful
alike to the boy and the old man, and
great human side to the story.
