that leads TO your fairy palace, its dome

A Large Poultry House.

AS rule, a poultry house intended
to hold fifty or more birds is quite an
expensive proposition, for usually it is
designed with all manner of fiXings
which are costly without being partic-
llarIy useful. The large poultry house
Is not generally desirable, and while
1t costs more to build two smaller ones,
It will pay in the long run by reason
Of lower mortality among he fowls,
the ease by which they may be clean

If preferred. Have four windows on
the south side, one east and one west
window. Divide this in two parts with
wire netting fastened to boards, which
come up eighteen inches from the floor,
Arrange double row of nests six feet
from one end of the house and place
drop boards on them, SO that the eggs
may be gathered from the alleyway,
which is the siX-foot space between the
side wall and the nest boxes. At one
end of the alleyway place a door so

CLAIM DESCENT FROM LOUIS XVII
Party IN France with Sincere but Not
Numerous Adherents.

On the occasion of the anniversary of
the death of Marie Antoinette mass was
said in the humble but ancient church Of
st. Denis at La Chapelle, in the pres
ence of the king and Queen of France
and the Dauphin.'
The royal personages were a quiet
looking gentleman apparently about 40
years of age, 4 lady, very simply dressed,
and a little boy with long fair curl,.
whom she held by the hand. 4 small
number of elderly ladies and gentlemen
received their majesties and bowed low
when they alighted from a motor car
The King of France in question is the
descendant of Naundorff, who alleged
that he was Louis XVII. son of Louis
XVI, having been saved from the Tenn
pie prison. and not, as most historians
believe, done to death in boyhood, an
other child having been substituted for
the real Dauphin. The present King
about his divine right to the throne,
and his followers, who style themselves
the only real legitimist party of France,
are, though not very numerous, equally
sincere and devoted to the cause It
is. however, rather platonic devotion,
and the party has yet made no apparent
attempt to bring about a revolution in
order to set the King upon his rightful
throne. After the religious service the
congregation, numbering about a dozen
persons, bent knees and kissed hands
while bowling low to the Queen and the
Dauphin. The Kings name is Jean, and
Queen is styled usually Princess Made
leine and the boy Prince Henry of Bour-
bon, Dauphin of France.-London Daily

Raising the Bacon Hog.

Outside of what is known as the
corn belt, farmers will make more
money in hog raising by putting ami
mails on the market of moderate
weight than by the heavy weights
which have long been so popular. The
streak of lean and fat hog is the most
profitable one to-day, but to raise such
an animal requires radical depart
ure from the old methods of close pens
and an almost exclusive corn diet
Oats, barley, skim milk and plenty of
good pasture during the summer en-
ter very largely into the makeup of
the bacon hog. Some corn is fed, but
mainly at the finishing off period, the
main dependence being placed on the
other grains with the pasture. In the
case of the latter good pasture must
be supplied 1t will not do to turn
the hogs on any WORKOUT stripe Of
grass land. The pasture of mixed
grasses must be good and the results
will be better if a range Of rape is
used by way of variety. Then let the
hogs follow the harvest in the fall,
particularly in the corn field, and they
will pick up nearly all the corn they
should have during the period of
growth.

EARLY Corn Pays Best.

If you have a good market, early
sweet corn is a paying crop, writes an
Iowa farmer. 1t can be planted thick
and an enormous number of ears
grown to the acre l have had as high
as 1000 dozen ears to the acre, and it
generally sells at s cents to II cents
Dozen While the latter sorts are
much bigger and sweeter ears, they do
not, as a rule, pay as we'll as the ear
lies. Plant Cory, White Mexican and
Early Minnesota. They will be done
and off the ground by the last part of
July, and you can get another crop in
after it. I generally drill sorghum in
between the rows when l lay it by,
and by the time the corn is picked and
the fodder cut off the sorghum is knee
high, and by fall will make several
tons of the finest Of feed for horses
or cattle. We grow all our fodder for
the horses that way, in early sweet
corn and early peas.

and soon the streets were crowded with

first discovered the star was low in the

reached the zenith, where it appeared to
remain stationary. The university pro-

Orchard of Mixed Varieties.


Sometimes in mixed orchard it is
difficult to keep varieties of apples,
peaches or any other crop of fruit per-
fectly distinct. Apples of red and
green colors and sometimes of yellow
color will mix so that it is hard to de-
termine which variety the specimen in
hand belongs to. This is the strong
est reason, when planting large orch
ard, to plant all or any one variety to-
gether. Bees and the wind are the
largest agents in this work, other
things coming to their aid occasionally.

rieties is not very Objectionable. but
