Watering Fowls.

To keep poultry healthy plenty or
fresh water must be kept within easy
reach Of them. Crooks, pans and such
vessels have to be filled several times
q day. The young chicks are apt to
get drowned when enough water Is
kept to last any length Of time; be-,
sides the water gets old and unhealthy.
My plan is to take small keg at bot
tom; set the keg upright on box or
frame a foot from ground. put curved
tube in hole, put a vessel under lower
end Of tube. When water Is put in
keg the vessel will run full of water,
to the lower end Of tube The depth
Of water can be regulated by raising
or lowering the tube. If keg Is filed
with fresh water every morning there
will always be fresh supply Of fresh
water in vessel. This is the best de-
vice for watering poultry l know or.
1t is great labor-saver-H- a.

Will soy beans mature early enough to
be sown with millet for hay? what
proportion Of each should be used
when sown with drill and fertilizer? t
Some Of the early maturing varieties
Of soy beans might be sown with mil.
let for hay, but the standard varieties
would have to be sown in drills, say
about thirty days before the millet was
seeded. The millet might then De
sown broadcast and covered with q
harrow. One Of the best varieties or
soy beans is the mammoth yellow. a
mixture Of soy beans and millet Will
make an excellent quality Of hay, and
It is somewhat easier to cure than that
made from cowpeas. You should sow
about half bushel to three pecks OF
soy beans per acre, and a gallon to a
half gallon and half Of millet seed

Wheat chaff contains about twice as

constitute cheap forms of roughness,
more valuable as filler for ruminating

TRAGEDY FROM A JOKE.
Man Frightened His Wife Into Mad
ness and Then in Remorse
Kills Himself.

Paris.-The death of one person and
hopeless insanity of another have re-
suited from silly practical joke. Ed
mond Lelouse, wishing to brighten his
wife, dressed up wax figure, the
head of which and one Of the hands
he lightly attached to the body by
means Of gum and placed it in bed.
While Lelouse was watching the
proceedings from behind draperies his
wife. about to retire, grasped what she
supposed in. the semi-darkness to be
her husbands hand, but which was in
reality that of the wax figure.
The hand, cold and clammy, de-,
tached itself from the limb and re-
manned in her grasp. With cry of
terror, Nine. Lelouse let the hand
drop to the ground and flung her arms
around the figures neck, when the
head also became detached and rolled
down upon the floor. =
The terror-stricken woman ran mad
ly down the stairs, where she was
stopped by some neighbors. When the
police arrived it was found that she
had become raving mad. She was con-
veyed to an asylum. -
When the husband was told of the
hopelessness of his wife's condition,
he poisoned himself by swallowing a
dose OF nitric acid.

Song and conversation were heard in

traces could be found of the owners of

ghosts were of modern make, for in
the songs snatches of ragtime mingled

GhOstly footsteps were heard to cross
the floor at all hours of the day, while
mysterious gavels seemed to be rapping
upon the table for order as the family
sat down at their meals. Canes were
