mas the added merit of being of fair u

apple in this respect. However, it is much
better than Ben Davis and quite as attrac-
tive. In size 1t is a little above the medium
and In color is particularly attractive being
striped with brilliant red. Under test it
proves to be only a fair bearer but this
may be improved as the trees grow older.

INSIDE CURTAINS FOR POULTRY
HOUSES.

No matter how comfortable the
poultry house is ordinarily. IL it has
any glass in 1t some provision should he
made for covering that glass during cold
nights If the necessity arises. An excellent
and Il cheap way of doing this is to provide
curtains of heavy unbleached muslin. bur.
lap or a strip of carpet. Fasten the lower
end to a roller. using an old broom handle
il nothing better offers, and lacking the
upper edge TO the window frame. Then.
by sewing a loop or lacking 1t to the roller
and having a nail in the upper part of the
window frame it IL easy to roll the curtain
up out of the way during the day. In the
event of the poultry house having a consid-
cradle expanse Of glass something Of this
Kind is absolutely essential ever in the
middle sections of the country if the fowls
have large combs and wattles. We have
an arrangemen, similar to this in front of
the roosts and have found that it has saved
more than one comb from becoming frost
ed. Another thing we do when a cold night
Is TO be expected. The floor of the house is
covered quite thiclsly with straw: this is
done that the fowls may have something
warm toHwalk over and peck through in
the house early on a cold morning and find

and have them bring one satisfactory re-
rurns If the dishes they use for feed and
water arc kept clean. Manufacturers are
now putting on the market a cheap dish,
an imitation of the high in price enamel
ware, which can be used for a long time in
the poultry houses and which are much
better than those of wood or tin. AS these
dishes are made in several shapes it is easy
to buy such as meets ones wants. We
have a number of dripping pans which. as
the reader probably knows, are shallow
and fifteen inches long by seven or eight
inches wide and having a bale at either
end. These are ideal pans for soft foods
and by using 4 number of them one
avoics the over-crowding of the fowls
which always takes place when a regula-
ton trough is used. Water is given in
smaller and deeper basins and all of the
vessels are taken to the house daily and
washed with scalding water then set in the
sun. If possible, for a few hours. In this
manner things are kept absolutely clean
and the fowls eat with much more zest
than would be possible if the dishes
smellcd musty or sour. The grain food is
always scattered through the chaff on the
floor which makes the fowls do the neces-
Sary amount of scratching needed for eXer-
else. This grain food is never fed in any
other way unless it is a part of the soft
mash. Mixed dinners. as we call them.
consisting of mixed grains in a mash
warmed and mixed with bits of potatoes,
cabbage, apples and any other green food
are also fed in the clean dishes and hence
none of it is wasted.

so impressed those who heard it

only please, interest, instruct

Longley is one of those men who
have the gift of making a subject
intensely interesting whether we
care for it before hand or not,
but he especially excells in the
treatment of subjects connected
with his extensive travels and
observations ia the old world.

Druid Money.

Druid money expresses one of the
many plausible ways of refusing to
pay at all, so common to all peoples
1t is the exact equivalent of the Ro.
man phrase to pay on the Greek cal.
ends, which meant never, as the Greeks
had no calends. Patricius says of the
Druids that they constantly received
money which they promised to return
in another life. Butler in "Hudibras'

FIR. KROEG SECRET
Reason for Efforts OF Priest.
Healer to Amass q Fortune

Howard, s. d.. Jan. Back of the
life and wonderful financial succe of
Father William Kroeger, the priest.
healer of Epiphany, who died on De-
cember 9Th, lies a story of disgrace
borne bravely and restitution to the
last iota. That this was the secret
of Fathe: Kroeger's desire to build up
a money making business at Epiph-
any has not, until now, been gener-
ally known.
One night in December, 1891, Fa-
Their Kroeger, who had been pastor of
the Catholic parish at Elkhard. Ind.
disappeared. He had built for the
parish, which he had found practi-
cally penniless, a church so handsome
that it was termed a cathedral. TO
finance his plans for the parish he en-.
gagged in numerous enterprises, in
Guiding stores, a dray line, a med,
icine factory and others. He simply
became involved SO deeply that he
could not extricate himse If. In a
moment of weakness he fed.
Elkhart did not hear of Father
Kroeger for six years, and then
checks began arriving. Slowly but
conscientiously every dollar of the
principal and interest of the heavy
iebts he had left at Elkhart was paid
This IS why he built up at Epiphany
IA medicine business that reached al
most from coast to coast, built the
towns of Epiphany and Kroeger, ant
incidentally acquired a fortune Of

that he persisted when ~reprimandeC
