CONSUMPTION OF POULTRY.

No correct estimate Of the number
OF eggs and fowls consumed in this
country can be made. while the Unit
cd States census report is unreliable
from the fact that a census is taken
only once in ten years. which renders
it difficult TO learn what was accom-
pIished during each decade. That the
value Of poultry and eggs consumed
in this country may be placed beyond
the one-hundred-million-dollar mark
lis admitted. but it is believed that
the value is much greater than even
the most sanguine have estimated. In
addition 10 the revenue derived from
poultry it may be mentioned that the
fowls afford a market for a large pr0-
portion Of the grains, animal foods
and mill products of the United
States, as they consume More in pro-
portion 70 weight than cattle, horses,
sheep. OF swine. as well as affecting
saving Of many foods on the farms
that would be lost without their aid.
The millions Of fowls, many Of them
owned by residents in towns, villages
and suburbs Of cities, cannot exist
without foods, and TIE enormous
production Of poultry and eggs means
that the fowls are large consumers
and greatly contribute to the creation
Of markets for farm products.

Cos (or Kos) in the Mediterranean,
near the coast Of Asia Minor. there
stands an oak twenty-five feet IN d.

hundred years old.
The largest tree in the United
States according to "The Christian Ad
yocateg (New York; is said to be at
the foot Of Mount Etna, apd is called
SThe Chestnut Tree Of Hundred
Horses.v Its name came from the re-
port that Queen Jane Of Aragon, with
her principal nobility took refuge
from violent storm under its
branches. The trunk is 204 feet In
circumference. This would mean near
II 68 Feet in diameter; about four rods
well nigh incredible.
The largest tree in the United
States (It is said) stands neaf Bear

WEAVING LAMBS.

This question cannot receive too
careful attention If the lambs are
Tot well cared for as soon as weaned
tEey will go backward, and if they go
backward at such time, when the
winter is drawing on, it win require
quite a time Of careful feeding to
bring them back again. Happy are
they who at such time have good
patch Of rape on which to turn the
lamb. With such pastures they can
take care OF themselves when removed
from the ewes. If they have been put
upon it before being weaned, SO much
the better, for then they will take to
it at once, otherwise they will require
some time. it may be, to get accus-
toned to 1t. and in the interval they
will lose flesh
Lambs thus provided for should do
well without being fed any grain.
Where no rape is on hand, clover will
make a good substitute Even where
clover Is absent the present season
the lambs may get along very nicely
on other pastures, they are SO abun-
dant. If, however, these should be
Sc succulent as to keep the lambs
little thin, they ought to get a supple
ment Of oats In seasons when such
lambs must be turned on pastures
short and scant grain should be fed
to them with much freedom. The
policy is short sighted which allows
any kind Of live stock to stand during
the time Of its growth.

Gestures and Fidgeting
It no longer Is considered fascinat-

due to the criticism OF an artist who
