One Of the strange things Of life is
that any body Of people, or any leader
Of that body, which processes to the sen-
sible and tine higher in life, should not
look into things as they are before going
of half>coeked in favor Of something
that j. rotten at the core with hypoeraey
is one of the mysteries that remains I'M
raveled. II does seem that those who
are leaders ought to make their sound

with the rank and file Of the party and
there will be something doing if Hearst
does not quit the county with his agents.

Several weeks ago, when there seemed
little prospect Of an extra session of the
Legislature. some of the Democratic
papers were aowling hot about it, and
now since there is every prospect of an
extra session and the adoption of laws
on the tax question, there is a counter
howl by those papers just as loud. Ii
is self.cvident that the only thing they
really had in it was party advancement
and that is characteristic of the leading
Democratic politicians. They snow il
even in a little municipal election anC
are willing to sacrifice even part fol
their own selfish interests.

Strange Diet.

A young man of twenty-five. Emile
Brazeau by name. who recently died
at Montreal. during the whole time of

he was medically placed upon milk
and sugar diet. and this he continued
unchanged to his death, presumably
from choice.
His daily rations were three pints
of milk and one pound of sugar. Al

The Vinegar Process.

Cider turns to vinegar, first, by the
sugar being converted into alcohol, and
next by taking more oxygen, when it
becomes vinegar. The process is a
chemical one and cannot be prevented,
as long as tine least quantity Of oxy-
gen Gin the air reaches the cider. Bac-
terial agents, however, have something
to do with the changes that occur.
Salicylic acid is used for keeping vine
gar, but 1t does harm. Boiling the eli
der also retards changes. A method
used in Canada with good results is
to filter the cider, put it in a clean new
tub and expose it TO the dense fumes
of burning sulphur in box having a
lid, closing the lid for half an hour
and repeating the process two or three
times. The sulphurous acid gas is alb
sorbed by the cider (which should be
cold. and prevents fermentation with
out injuring the cider.

smaIl yards for Poultry.

When it is not possible to supply
range of considerable size for the
fowls and they must be practically
kept in yards. an excellent plan IS to
divide the yard into two or three sec
tons, according to its size, and treat
them in the following manner: Pillow
or spade each yard, and in one or two,
If divided into three spaces, plant some
early vegetables that will require some
cultivation - radishes, for example.
When the crop is taken out. turn the
fowls into this yard and plant the
others in The same way. When the
yards are divided into three, one of
them may be prepared thoroughly and
grass seeds or oats or millet sown in
it, with the vegetables in the second
yard, while the fowls occupy the third.
When the grass or small grain gets
two or three inches high, turn the
fowls in this yard and SOW the soil in
the yard they occupied, in like man
ner. BY the time they have cleaned
out the grass lot, the one in which the
vegetables are grown will be ready for
them to scratch over 1t is surprising
how well the fowls will do under this
plan. even though each yard is very

USE OF BLoOohOUNDs.

These Dogs Declared to Be Greatly
Overrated as Theft Catchers.
The bloodhound is a much advertised
and greatly overrated dog, according
to the Washington Star. If he had
press agent and should lose his dla-
monds, he could not get more notorlety
than comes to him in the daily papers.
An item of news something like this
is printed almost daily: Robbers came
to Squeedunk last night They broke
into the blacksmith shop and took
tools, with which they broke open the
post office safe. They then escaped on
hand car. A posse witt bloodhounds
is in pursuit"
After every railroad "hold-up" the
report comes that a sheriff's posse
with bloodhounds has started on the
trail
There are few hloodhounds in the
United States outside the kennels of
some dog fanciers and Uncle Tom
Cabin" The bloodhound" of the
South and Southwest, the blood
hound" that does all the trailing In
the newspapers and trots along with
every sheriff's posse is not blood
hound at all. He is usually hound
and has blood in him, but that is as
near to being a bloodhound as this dog
gets. often he is a foxhound. Some
of these hounds are trained from pup
pyhood TO follow the scent OF deer,
rabbit or other four-footed game. EY-
cry man has scent peculiar to him
self. though most men do not like
10 admit it. No dog completely recog-
nizes his master without few shifts
by way of investigation.
Sometimes these 'bloodhounds'' are
clever in trailing a man If the scent,
which hangs close TO the ground, has
not been disSipated or confused with
other scents. In most cases, though,
these dogs are vastly overestimated.
The owner of a pack naturally thinks
his dogs the greatest ever. and insists
on the maryels and mysteries they
can smell out. a great chance is taken
when a man is convicted on the testi-
mony OF a hounds nose.
In the matter of ferocity, these
'bloodhounds' are about as harmless
as kittens after their claws have been
manicured. These dogs would not bite
defenseless tramp. They would
rather run two days than fight half a
minute. A bulldog could whip a yard
full OF these "bloodhounds" IL he could
catch them.

Poultry Pickinra

In feeding ground bone to young
fowls, be sure to have it fresh.
Young chickens may be fed almost
anything that is clean and wholesome.
The dust heap is absolutely neces-
sary for fowls.
Feather pulling is a vice that comes
from confinement and idleness.
Allow no filth of any kind to accu-
mulate within reach Of the fowls.
Thoroughness in detail in poultry
raising is the great secret of success.
Common fowls do not possess the
characteristic qualities OF thorough
breds.
When fowls are permitted to roost
in foul, damp houses it causes droop-
ishness.
Caponizing should be performed
when the cockerels are three or four
months old.
After the fowls begin TO moult they
should be given little ground bone
once every day.
Exercise is cheaper than medicine.
The brood still under the mothers
care should be literally fed.
BY giving young fowls free range
it will aid materially to develop
strong. healthy constitution.
Fowls will eat great deal of granu-
lated charcoal. As preventive Of
disease it is invaluable.
Poultry should always have access
to green food when possible, and when
they cannot it should be supplied.
It is easier TO keep fowls in good
condition now than to allow them to
run down and then build up again.

have reached middle life This class
Of plants are among the easiest to
grow and are particularly useful on
the farm grounds where it is not al
ways easiest to care for tender plants
over winter. The one complaint about
hardy perennials is that they are not
so profuse in blooming the second sea-

classes this may be remedied by PINT
