ARE If He Gives His Mind to 1t.
One night last week Henry ]. Smith.
who inherited fifty million dollars, had a
real live duke In his box at the horse
show. 1t so happened that the very next
evening he was in the same box with his
butler. This shocked New York society,
and the following interview about il with
| another rich mans butler appears In the
New York World;
What2 / sit In Mr.. Vandermaster's box
at the 'orse show Hob. no, sir. Never;
/ hope / know my place better. sir, and
what i owe to my social position"
1t was Hennery Bowke who spoke
Hennery, the most enviedf man below
stairs; Hennery, who for ten long years
has deigned to be chief butler for j. Won
derby Vandermaster. His pale but blaze
chinned countenance expressed horror
grave, modified, decorous horror--at the
question the reporter had just put to him.
''of what You were thinking when you
arsked me that question. / know, i know,
sir, all about Mr.. j. Henry Smith-'im

butler in his box on Thursday evening.
lit was a shock to me when / ran across
the item as I was looking over our papers
this morning. Don't think I'm presuming
to c~riticise Mr.. Smith, sir, which he's a
| good, kind, generous gentleman, sir, I'm
sure, and was obeying. as you nay say In
a way OF speaking, the dictates of a very
| generous cart.
but / arsk you, low could his butler so
far forget 'imself as TO commit such a fow
! par, as we say? You know as well as / do.
sir, I'm sure, that any gentleman can be-
come a millionaire, If he gives up his mind
TO 1t, so to speak. But 100 could become
a butler, sir? Ave you ever thought of
/ that? You know buffers is like I've card
about poets, as the saying is--they're born
to do ii.
why, I was second man to my Lord
Ashburnham for five years before / con-
scented to come out to America, considering
only the Ugh wages, which / assure you
sir. il was a lard trile to leave 'ome and
prospects of being cad butler some day.
And my father was mead butler to Sir
Ponsonby Crawford, and lis father before
ip,. 2 was q bntler. We're born, as YOU
! might say, to the Ugh dignity.
And so when ] see that Mr.. Smiths
head butler goes out Of is ciahss and
acksh'1ly sits in Mr.. Smiths box it gives
me a shock"
We'll, what should Mr.. Smiths butler
! have done?"
why, sir, since you arsk me a fair
question | can only give you a fair 9

to me to go to the 'orse show, I'd say
Yes, sir. Thank you kindly, sir, which II
Is a most entertaining offer. And what box
were you purposing to give me, sirg
There. dye see, sir, MIR. Vandermaste
having all the feelings of a true gentle
man, would give me a ole box for the
show. And then I'd arsk a Few choice
friends to enjoy the evening with me. Blu

main thing is to have 1t dry and more
| time should be spent on this h n
other portion of the work. To make the
house warm and free from draughts
is easily accomplished with the liberal
! use of newspapers. Have the floor dry,
arrange the house so that the fowls have
light and you have done much for their
comfort. Feed and water them prop
erly and they'll do the rest.
GRAIN AND ROOTS FOR COWS.
A number of experiments have DEM
onstrated that the best results come
from feeding the grain to dairy cows
after il is ground and there IS also
considerable advantage in feeding u
number of grains either mixed or by
themselves. In the matter of root crops
feeding mainly carrots and mangels
our best results have come from sliclng
The roots so that the COW may begin
10 masticate at nee without waiting to
bite the root to a proper size. While
there may be some doubt about the
wisdom OF feeding dairy COWS heavily
on roughage, Ii is a good plan to give
them enough SO that they will have IT
before them to take when they please,
We find ii a good plan to furnish this
Ioughage in small quantities so that
after the grain is eaten the cow can
make a few cuds; then. In the middle
Ior the morning and afternoon olher
small quantities are given her. In his
way she not likely TO over eat of bulky
food and be unable 10 eat properly Of
the grain ration. This sort of feeding
| combined with the sunny stable, warm
and clean with plenty Of fresh clean
water will fill the milk pail.
WATCH THE OLD HENS.
So long as the Two or three year old
hen lays a fair number of eggs she is
profitable to keep. but The week there is
a decided break in her laying and she
| shows no indication Of resuming then she
should be put in rather small quarters and
fattened for the carcass market. 1t rs
hard sometimes to thus dispose of a hen
who has turned considerable money into
the treasury, bur when her usefulness as
a layer is over she will quickly turn profit
into loss by eating nue. more han the
value OF the eggs she lays. IL she Is one
of the larger breds like Plymouth Rock,
Wyandotte or Brahma the carcass will
bring a good price in the market and II
will not take a great deal of corn to put
her in good condition. BY the way, in fat
tenipg fowls for market do not make the
mistake of feeding corn wholly. Let the
corn ration be a little more than was
given her when laying increasing 1t slight
ly each day until just before marketing
the corn is about two-thirds OF the ration.
Fowls fattened In this way are tender and
have an excellent color tina the ~over-fat
bird does not have.

LIE CLEAN POULTRY HOUSE.

II Is simply impossible to win any degree
Of success In the poultry business unless
the houses are kept clean; not fairly clean,
but absolutely clean. 1t is safe to say that
fully one-half Of the troubles Of poultry
ralsers are due to u~nclean houses for filth
begets disease and very quickly too among
poultry. Naturally the droppings are the
most fertile source of the trouble, hence
great care should be paid to this. The
best way is TO ave the dropping board
under the roost and after sprinkling dry
soil over the roppings each morning use a
hoe and scrape them off to be put away
in boxes for use on the garden later. Then
sprinkle a little lime and soil over the
dropping board and It is ready for night.
Clean the nests, frequently burning the
nest material and whitewashing the nest
box, sprinkling in a little carbolic acid
each time. The clean poultry house will
do much toward fling the egg basket.

vented further destruction of
property.
Fortunately there was but little
water in the stream, otherwise
the fire would doubtless have
been much more serious, as it
would have been impossible to
have prevented the burning oil
from following the water. The
hollow is quite thickly populated,
and had the fire once gotten
start, there is no telling where it
would have ended. This should
be lesson to parents of children,

About 3 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, an oil tank at the well OF
the Carter Oil company in the
hollow just east of Oakwood Gem
etery, was accidentally set on fire
by some children.
The tank, which was of 60 bar
rels capacity, was entirely de-
stroyed by the flames, together
with 40 barrels of oil. The chill
dren had started fire on the hill
side just above the oil tank, and
had been carrying oil in an old
can from little pools of oil form
ed on the ground near the tank
and throwing it on the fire. The
can used by the children leaked,
which formed a stream of oil be-
tween the fire and the pools OF
oil near the tank, and the blaze
followed this and set fire to the
tank. 1t was with great difficulty
that the belt house and derrick
were saved. The belt house, how
ever, was slightly damaged.

soon covered with the burning
