There are six principal classes OF
poultry--namely: Chickens, tur-
keys, geese, ducks, guineas, and
pigeons. They form the sources OF
three kinds of products--feathers,
meat, and eggs. The first named
class supplies nine-tenths of the
poultry products of the country.
The next three classes-turSeys,
geese, and ducks-are raised al
most wholly for their flesh, which
is highly priced, especially during
the holiday season.
The guinea fowl. forms an uuim-
portant group. So far as the com
mercial products are concerned
they have neither popularity nor
merit. However, when thrown with
another flock of poultry they render
valuable service as sentinels. The
guinea is alert and ncisy-always
ready to give timely alarm of APP
preaching danger so that other
fowls may seek shelter.
The pigeon forms small, though
by no means unimportant, class.
The highly forced young pigeon,
popularity known as the SQUAD"
finds much favor with certain
classes of people. The popularity
of the "squab" is likely to endure,
for it's flesh is tender, nutritious,
and wholesome.
Chickens have been divided into
three groups, each comprising many
breeds. These groups are: First
The Mediterranean, egg producers
and nonsitters, represented by the
Brown, Buff, and White Leghorns.
Second-The American, general or
dual purpose, represented by the
white, DaH, and Barred Plymouth
Rocks, the Wyandottes, and the
Rhode Island Reds. Third-The
Aslatics, meat producers, represent
ed by the Light and Dark Brahmas,
the Cochins, and the Langshans.
The selection of the breed neces-
sariIy depends upon the kind or
kinds of products desired. If egg
production alone is sought thor
some one of the Mediterranean
breeds should be selected. If meat
alone is the desideratum the selec-
tion should be made from among
the Asiatics. But if both meat
and eggs are demanded either two
breeds must be selected and main
tanned or the selection must be con-
fined to the American or dual pur-
pose group.
The selection of the breed is I'M
portant, but the maintenance of the
purity, health and vigor of that
breed is vastly more important. If
pure breeds possess merit over the
scrub, the truth of which no we'll
informed person will undertake to
controvert, it would seem to be de-
sirable that the identity of the
breed should be maintained. There
fore, the selection of the breed
must be followed by proper methods
in handling. Otherwise the good
results sought through the selec.
ton of thoroughbred fowls will
hardly be realized.-Farm Sentinel.

In a recent letter to a friend she writes: "I had a colored maid a year or so ago to whom my Virginian blood and ancestry appealed nightly. She had the sense of allegiance strongly devel- oped, and took a great pride in the fact that we burned candles at dinner, used our good china and silver every day. and were bit fussy about the waiting. She told us we did the way her home-folks' did! You know, Mrs. Herrick, ma'am. I was raised by de Randolphs an dey's got dey names in hist'ry.' One day I asked her joking ly how it seemed to her to live with ladies that worked for their living. (My friend, Eleanor Hoyt was then living with Had she ever lived with them brture?
 "No'm, I ain never lived befo' with ladies what wuks fo' a Twin. but here's what l say. Ina'am. What I say 1t takes intelligence to do them things. That's what I say, ma'am. I tells 1t to everybody

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM,
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty years of age in anything that will make him feel better because while he may not as yet have any positive or ganic disease he no longer feels the buoyancy and Vigor of twenty-five nor the freedom from aches and pains he enjoyed in earlier years, and he very naturally examines with interest any proposition looking to the improve ment and preservation of his health.
 He will notice among other things that the stomach of fifty years is a very different one from the stomach he possessed at twenty-five. That great est care must be exercised as to what is eaten and how much of 1t, and even with the best of care, there will be in creasing digestive weakness with ad- vancing years.
 A proposition to perfect or improve the digestion and assimilation of food man of fifty but every man, woman and child of any age, because the whole secret of good health, good blood. strong nerves is to have stom ach winch will promptly and thoroughly digest wholesome food because blood nerves, brain tissue and every other constituent of the body are entirely the product of digestion, and no medicine blood or restore shaky nerves, when a weak stomach is replenishing the daily wear and tear of the body from a mass of fermenting half -digested food.
 No, the stomach itself wants help and in no roundabout way. either: if wants dii ect, unmis takable assistance. such as is given by one or two Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
 These tablets cure stomach trouble because their use gives the stomach a chance to rest and recuperate; one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains digestive elements sufficient to digest 5000 grains of ordinary food such as bread, meat. eggs. etc.
 The plan of dieting is simply another name for starvation and the use of prepared foods and new fangled break fast foods simply makes matters worse, as any dyspeptic who has tried them knows
 As Dr. Bennett says. the only reason can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not universally used by everybody who is troubled in any way with poor digestion is because many people seem to think that because d medicine is advertised or is sold in drug stores or is protected by a trade mark must be humbug, whereas as matter of truth any druggist who Is observant knows that Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets have cured more people of indigestion heart burn, heart trouble. nervous hrostration and rundown con diuon generally than all the patent medicines and doctors prescriptions for stomach trouble combined.

More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from we'll. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the fe- male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits. reluctance to go anywhere or do anything. backache, bearing-dow pains, fatulency, nerv. ousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhoa.
 These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless needed life of suffering or serious operation is the inevitable result.
 Tue never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound.
 Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge, N J., writes
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:
 '" think thaC a Wonlan naturally dislikes to make her troubles known to the public, but restored health has meant so much to me that cannot help from telling mine for the sake Of other suffering women
 :" For long time l suffered untold agony with uterine trouble and irregularities, which made mo a physical wreck. and no one thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and stTcng, and feel 1t my duty to tell other suffering women what splendid medicine it is"
 If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound at once. and write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. for special adViee-it is free and always helpful.

"As Good as .Ben-Hur.'"

In an interview with General Lew Wallace. F. G. Carpenter drew out the following interesting anecdote:
 "President Garfield and I had been friends for years, and when he was elected President, he sent for me to come to the White House. Our rela- tions were such that he usually called me Lew or Wallace As I entered his room he said that he was anxious to have me in the diplomatic service, and that he thought of making Min ister to Paraguay or Uruguay. l re- piled that I knew but little of South America. and did not think that my go- Ing there would help either the Gov ernment or myself. He then replied that he would send me to Constantino- ple on condition that l would write a book during my stay. Said he, "l want you to give the world another novel as good as 'BenHur.'
 But Mir. President said I, if l am Minister to Turkey I shall have prec- ious little leisure to write books. My time will be taken up in diplomatic work
 "That matter will arrange itself said Garfield. If you will take the appointment we will see that you have plenty of time.
 Well. I thought 1t over. and decided to go, and shortly after received my commission. with the words and ini- tials Ben-Hur, J. A. G., in the lower left-hand corner.
 'I then sailed for Europe. and when I reached there received a cable saying that Garfield had been shot during my voyage"

A Discredited statement.

In view of the prosperous condition of the book market In this country. and the acknowledged fact that good books are finding prompt recognition today as never before it is amusing to read the cry of an alarmist in a recent "Fort- nightly Review Mir. W. Teignmouth Shore makes a varied complaint. He asserts that the book-buyer's purse is tight shut" Though he speaks for England, it is unlikely that there is a basis of truth for his statement, and for America it is absurd. In this con nection it is interesting to note that a recent novel. "The Masquerader' has probably an unequalled record for inn mediate success; and "BenHur' sold more copies last year than in any one of the first five years of its publication, a quarter of a century ago.

What Is Thought of Him.

James Jeffrey Roche. the author of The Sorrows of Sap'ed and various other books each of which is a sponta- neous outburst of rare humor, was recently the recipient of the following poem, which was read by MT. Arthur Macy at dinner of the Papyrus Club: Dear Jeffrey Roche, whene'er you
 write.
 There's something in your lines As healthful anc refreshing quite
 As breezes through the pines. And when we aim to do the same
 And fail and fail again. Our readers doubt and hint about
 The man behind the pen. Dear Jeffrey Roche. whene'er you sing, There's lifting in your song, And when we try to do the thing
 We're sure to do 1t wrong Then whisper, dear within my ear,
 The secret of your art, Or If the muse is pleased to choose
 But one to cheer her heart. Dear Jeffrey Roche, whene'er you sing, There's magic in your voice, And all the world has heard It ring
 In brave Sir Hugo's Choice" And when you tell of shot and shell And heroes of the sea, Though We abhor the wrong of war, We sigh for 1t to be. Dear Jeffrey It's of little use
 For us to seek the bay, Your verses are their own excuse
 That's more than we can say. And when our smiles your wit be-
 guiles.
 Our hearts your words uplift We yield the pen, persuaded then
 That God bestowed the gift.
 MT Roche will sail for Genuoa. his new consular post in about a month.

Afar where the winds are giving Their souls to wander free Where life's for the lusty living Come brothers. come with me. The spray of the salted surges Cuts sharp with tonic pain.

 Your course will lie to the calm And silver of tropic beaches, The green of the fruited palm" Thus day and night I call them. In spring. in winter drear; Whatever the fates befall them They cannot, will not hear. They toll and bear in sadness The ancient yoke of Need The guerdon of all their madness Nor pause, nor hope, nor heed They soothe a mothers sorrow. They guard a wife's repose, For marvelling children borrow Its Fragrance from the rose. Content with bribe and barter, And counterplot of care Half sinner and half a martyr.

Mir. shaw,s Latest Theory.

MT. Bernard Shaw Is the cleverest human being who divulges thoughts nowadays. There are abler men aplenty, better men, possibly, an ample provision of more learned men, but Shaw Is the cleverest. We would like to see a fuller report of his recent Lon don lecture on Socialism for the Up- per Classes" in which he puts forth the theory that money is the root of all virtue. That the possession of money Is favorable to virtue is not a new thought, nor unorthodox. The love of money, 1t will be recalled, Is named in Scripture as the root of all evil, not money itself. We all show how we feel about it by our hospitable attitude to it. All of us. practically. think 1t does us good; all of us want as much of it as we can afford to acquire, the differ ence between individuals lying not so much in their general attitude towards money as in the relative value they at tach to money and such other things as ease, honesty, altruism, and the pur- suit of truth in it's various phases Harper's Weekly.

What Does It Meant .I

InuldnapOllS star. 5.ea 7, 'a' ==-SsHs
 What does it mean that three United States Senators are now under indict- ment on various charges? What does it mean that Federal judge must answer to impeachment for alleged derelictions of duty? What does it that man, after being selected as the caucus nominee for Senator from a Western State, has failed of election yb reason of gross Irregularities in his campaign methods? What does it mean that Republican Legislature in another Western State seated the Dem- ocratic contestant for the gubernatorial cahtr, unheeding the Republican Gov ernors cry of fraud, when 1t was seen that both were guilty. What does it mean that scores of men are being fined and imprisoned in one of our States for participating in election frauds? What does 1t mean that young men like Deneen, Folk, La Toilette and Hanly are elected to governorships, running on platforms ofreform? Whatd oesit mean that from the legislative halls of many tSates there is now going up q protest against the operations of lob byists?
 The answer is as clear as day. There is a growing demand for better politics, city, State and national The fact that there Is such an insistent demand for better things from so many quarttrs is proof that things have reached a bad pass in many places, and also that the situation Is far from hopeless. for as long as evil Is uncov- cred and reform demanded there Is ev- cry reason to believe that a better state of things is on the way. One can not probe into politics very closely without finding something that is not bad. The helpful sign Is that there is now a marked tendency to attempt a cure of the sores that are disclosed in the prob-i ing. rather than to cover thtm up and let the mfester and snrnad

Harmeny in Precious stones.


 Alice MeynelL the famous woman essayist of England says in the cur rent number of Harper's Bazar:
 Tt is the white hand. and decidedly the slender hand. that looks well with its rings; and this is the moment to suggest the beauty of a hitherto un- used union of turquoise and emerald. not for rings alone. It is the right moment. because the fashion in jewels is changing. partly for the better and partly for the worse. and every combi- nation has been tried except this ex- quisite one. That clear stone and an opaque one should generally go to- gether is hardly understood; but for those who know how finely pale coral goes with diamond. and pearl with amethyst. turquoise and emerald add to the difference of surface a most for tunate difference of color. Turkish blue and emerald green is a phrase of Milton's: and since the trees have been matched with the sky, art has played more or less happily with blue and green. Yet never have the very blue and the worry green been brought close in these two gay stones. The jeweler has been afraid. although he could not go wrong. for the turquoise and the emerald themselves must keep him right: while the indomitable milliner. with nothing to keep her in harmony, has taken every blue and every green. and has made distressing shuffiings. |"
