Food should be varied sufficiently TO
keep the chicks with a good appetite.
Poultry will bring in the quickest
returns of anything usually raised on
farm.
The larger the number of fowls
kept the smaller the expense proper
tionately.
Geese require less grain and less
expensive buildings than any other
variety of poultry.
The incubator will hatch as many
fertile eggs as the hen at much less
cost Of labor and trouble.
A variety of food will not cost any
more than one article all the time, but
1t pays good deal better.
If too many hens are allowed to run
with one cock there Is always a risk
of some Of the eggs proving unfertile.
The production Of feathers in either
young or old fowls will be materially
assisted by liberal supply of bone
and shell.
The foods required for growth and
egg production are somewhat similar,
inasmuch as each requires gluten and
nitrogen.

Flavor and Color of Err..

The effect of different feeding stuffs
on the color of the egg yolks and on
the flavor of the eggs was also studi ID,
not less than eight different kinds of
grains being fed, as well as scrap
beef. In many cases fiavorlng mat
ters such as celery oil, sassafras oil,
etc., were also mixed with the food.
Green food was given In the form Of
mangolds and sugar beet, which the
fowls readily ate. Quite contrary to
expectations, the flavor of the eggs
was not noticeably affected by any Of
the rations or fiavoring materials EN-
ployed. The different ratlons, how
ever, very clearly affected the color of
the yolks. When the ration consisted
Of wheat, oats, or white corn. either
fed alone or in combination with each
other, the yolks were so light colored
that the eggs would be quite insult
able for any high class or fancy trade.
On the other hand, the feeding Of yell
low corn gave the yolks that rich yell
low color so much desired for the best
| markets.

why, James -Perkinsw calculated
Mrs. Perkins, as her husband entered
the kitchen, dripping wet. Where
on earth have you been to, and what
have you been doing?" The captain
replied grimly that he had "been saw

lect dry wardrobe. His wife, mean

Whatever do you mean?" she ask
ed
"Just what 1 say. Captain Hank
was fool enough to fall off Of Billy's
wharf and like to drown himself. Me
and Billy's been seining for him."
'SeiningT'
"Yes'm, seining. And what's more,
he was the poorest seinful ever purs-
ed up."
Mrs. Perkins made no further CON-
ment. The captain retired to an adj
joining room and wiped the water
from his hair and face and changed
his clothes. Then he sat down be-
fore the stove to tell about 1t.
"Hank and Billy and me was Asset
ting In row on the edge Of Billy's
whalf," he said, at last, ''and Hank,
as usual, set out to count up his
money to make sure lie hadn't lost any
OF 1t sence he counted it last. He had
as much as a dollar and half in on =
hand, and his empty purse in the 9TH
CT, when crack went the railing. and
Hank went over into the ocean"
"Why didn't you and Billy 60 in,
too?" queried Mrs. Perkins.
"Well, men Billy didn't happen to
be engaged in counting anything, so
we grabbed the edge of the wharf and
saved ourselves. Hank, he went down
plumb to the bottom, and come up
blowing like porpoise.
II saw right off he wasn't swimming
any. and when he yells for help mis-
trusts something was up, so jumped

"was he grateful? asked Mrs Per-

"well, yes, fer Hank, reckon he
was grateful. He opened his fist and
see he had the dollar and half-dollar

MOTHER WAS
KILLED AND
SON WAITED.
Was on Her Way TO Mt. Loretta
TO Visit Her Boy When
Train Ran Over Her.

With her arms filled with flowers
and delicaoies which she was taking
to her deaf mute son, who is in the
Mount Loretta Home in Pleasant
Plains, Mrs. A. Forran, herself n deaf
mute, was cut to pieces Sunday by q
train of the Amboy division of the
Staten Island.Rapid Transit Company.
Mrs. Forran was a teacher in a
school for the speechless deaf in New
York. Her little. son Arthur has been
in the Mount Loretta Home for a
year. His mother had visited him
every Sunday from the day he was
first placed in the institution.
The mother was killed within sight
of the home, while the lad waited
anxiously for her as the time for her
visit passed and she did not appear.
Time after time he questioned those
about him as to why his mother did
not come, while from the window of
the home could be seen the great
crowd that had gathered about the
post where the unfortunate woman
had been killed.
Tie body of Mrs. Forran was fright
fully mangled, and as it lay upon the
track, where a train of nine cars had
passed over it, great masses of roses,
%iellies and other dainties intended for
t he deaf mute son were scattered
about. At first bnffled in the attempt
at Identification, the police sent to the
home to ask TINT the boy be brought
to the place where the body lay to aid
in making certain that the body was
that of his mother.
This the officials at the home IN,
dignantly refused to permit. The lad
was weeping heart. brokenly over what
he believed to be the neglect of his
mother, and the kind hearted women
of the home consoled him as best
they could without breaking TO him
the fearful news that his mother had
been killed within a few hundred
yards of him.
Mrs. Forran Was walking along the
railroad track after having passed n
train of nine cars standing on n siding.
Shortly after she passed the train was

BAY TO Be
BIG OYSTER CENTER

Under tho operation of the new
oyster law Barnegat Bay promises to
become the largest and most impor.
tant oyster growing region in the
State. The oysters grown in these
waters are of exceptionally fine quail
ty. They fatten there on the native
and pure food conditions and do not
have to be carried away and dumped
in the mouth of n river.
The oyster is plump and firm
and of q brownish golden tint i'm
parted by the wholesome cedar colored
water that is poured into the bay
from the Metedeconk River, Cedar
Creek and other streams. It has q
flavor equal to that of any other
oyster. Unuer the new law the
growers will be protected in their
rights and the industry will develop
to large proportions. When the pro-
posed new tideway from the inlet of
the Manasquan river to the head of
the bay is constructed it will open to
oyster growing abont fifteen thousand
acres of additional land. The Barne-
gat oyster is not known in New York
city ms such, but is sold under var
ious fictitious But the time is
not far off when 'Barnegats'' will be
more popular than Shrewsburys or
