advice if he looks after it. good
many do keep going until they find
some one reputed to be an authority
on such matters who will indorse their
plunge into poultry keeping.
The market and food conditions as
stated by this correspondent may or
may not be correct. | think he is
probably in error about the cost of
food as compared with "any part of
the United States. While not posted
on prices in Alabama, my impression
is that there and i'm most parts of
the south grain is higher than i'm the
grain growing areas. Most reports
from correspondents i'm the far south
indicate a range of prices nearer those
of the eastern cities. with poultry pro-
ducts not relatively high eXceDt at
winter resorts. When starting i'm
poultry keeping to supply local mar
ket one ought to know pretty well the
other sources of supply for that market.
and also the possibility and prospects
of changes in conditions affecting the
supply. especially in localities where
there is not much i'm the way of
i'm poultry: changes i'm con-
ditiOns may spoil a business before
it is well established. Thus suppose
that in the vicinity of Mobile the farm
ers within a few years give so much
attention to poultry that local market
conditions are altogether changed.
This of course is a risk incident. to
many kinds of business. but there are
lplaces in which change would pro-
duce little or no effect. while there are
others where the effects would be very
discOuraging. The farmers of Massa-
chusetts. with many large cities and
towns depending mostly on the west
for supplies of poultry produce, might
double or quadruple their product
without effecting those doing an ex-
elusive poultry business: but i'm
section where there We're few large
cities or where more attention was
given to farming slight general in
crease of the product of the farms
might suffice to take all the profit out
of the business for the local poultry
man.
l don't say these things to unduly
discourage any beginner or to give the
| impression that in poultry keeping
more than i'm anything else one must
be sure of his ground before he begins
All l urge on those who would begin
is that they apply to poultry keeping
| investments as much caution and de-
liberation as they would to invest
ments i'm line with which they were
familiar. or would urge on any one
not familiar with such line
Live interest and capital are only
| two of the factors i'm profitable pOul-
try keeping. The prime factors are
knowledge and experience. Without
them the interest is likely to fail and
the capital be frittered away.

To Prevent The Chicks From
Crowding.

The writer of an article, published
in the California CultivatOr, is not
the only one that has had trouble to
teach chickens to go into the roosts.
The device recommended is very sim
pie and inexpensive.
How to prevent chicks crOwding
when removed from the brooders was
one of my serious difficulties, i'm fact,
it was the difficulty that invited fail
ure and caused me deep anxiety. L
had put hundred half-grOwn chick
ems into a large and comfortable mousse,
a house that had held forty large hens
very comfortably. The house was
clean. the floors well sanded and cover
ed with clean wheat straw. l put the
chicks i'm at night spreading them
around. i'm the straw and the next
morning to my grief l found half
dozen of the best and largest dead,
trampled on. fiat as a pancake. The
others looked as if they had been
through sweat bath. l then put
perches in the house and set them on
the perches. going around after supper
and patiently lifting chick by chick,
holding each a little while on the
perch i'm hopes that it would stay
there, or fall asleep before l removed
my hands and never dream he had
been moved. only to find them i'm a few
minutes again piled up i'm corner
like big snow bank, and the follow
ing morning half dozen dead.
was i'm sore trouble and did not know
what to do, for l had nearly thou
sand youngsters and had not room to
put them out i'm colony cOOps, which
is by far the best plan. At last l
decided to make it as uncomfortable
for them to crowd as it was for me
to try to prevent them.
| bought a bundle of siX-fOOt laths
and made a little platform or floor, by
mailing them one inch and a half apart.

of small perches three inches above
the ground, and made it so uncOmfOrt-
able for them to crowd that it entirely
prevented it. placed regular perches,

on making my nightly rounds with my
lantern. had the satisfaction of find

No one coming into town and looking
at the display windows and the stacks OF
Christmas goods in the stores will say that
the merchants of Barton are behind the
times in selection or display of goods.
And from the amount of trading we have
seen the past week our advice would be
sDo your trading at the very earliest pos
sibIe time" We do not mean by this you
can avoid the rush by coming now for the
rush has already begun but as long as you
have got to be in q rush anyway why not
have it over with, and we know the mer-
chants would appreciate your coming be-
fore the last minute, and besides they can
give you better service now. Do your
Christmas shopping at once.
We gladly publish the following tribute
to Hon. ]. G. Peene, from the Yonke1s OBJ
server, in addition to the particulars about
his death already printed.
In the death of John G. Peene the city
| has lost one of its most vigorous and best
known public men.
A worker, from his boyhood, he died, as
| he would have wished, in harness, direct
| ing the business of which he was 50 justly
| proud and which his efforts had so mater1-
ally helped TO build up and maintain.
John G. Peene was a man among men
| Rugged, brusque and energetic he was
l dominant factor in whatever he undertook
He was of those who by force make the1l
merit known and his pu olic life was but
| reflex of his private business career.
| was aggressive, and successful. Beneath
the stern and rough exterior OF John 1t
Peene there beat kindly heart, and thos'
who knew him oest acknowledged hi
sterling worth and many excellent quail
tiles.
A worker himself, his example actuatet
all who surrounded him and his unrem1t
ting energy produced results, and worth,
results, both in political and business life
Possessing a strong personality, b
stamped its impress upon toe commun1t
so deeply that so long as Yonkers shall ex
ist, SO long will its historians regard Johl
q. Peene as one of the most potential an
powerful factors in its growth and up
building.

The many friends of George Fl. Burn
ham were saddened to learn of his death at
South Ryegate Saturday. 1t appears he
Was taken i'll with typho fever threeweeks
ago and though everything was done for
him the disease baff1ed the skill of the
physicians, and he failed to rally. Mr..
Burnham was born In this town on May
21, 1859, and lived here until he was nine
teen years old. He then went to Groton
and stayed there and in Ryegate for twelve
years. He then returned to this village
and lived here ten years. While here he
married Miss Carrie Blake and they have
little daughter six years old. Five years
ago he went to South Ryegate where he
| has been in the mercantile business in the
employ of Martin Gibson until his sick
| ness. Mr.. Burnham was an honest, con-
scfentious, intelligent man OF good busi-
ness capacity and by his genial, courteous
words and bearing, made many friends
among all classes. He had the implicit
confidence of his employers, both as to
integrity and his ability. His funeral was
attended at South Ryegate today, Monday,
and his remains were taken to Groton for
interment. He leaves his wife and daugh-
| ter, his aged and feeble mother, Mrs. A. f.
Stockwell of this village, and his brother
Newell of New Jersey, besides more dis
tant relatives, and many friends to mourn
his loss. Homer Potter and Eugene Gla-
zier went to attead the funeral, sent by
Orleans Lodge, No. So, F. and A. M. They
took for the lodge festoon OF flowers
showing the esteem in which the deceased
was held by this fraternity, OF which he
was member.

STEEL IN HIS EYEBALL.
For Three Years 1t Caused Lane County
Man no Trouble.

Eugene, Ore, Aug ls.--Thrce years
ago piece of steel from a wedge pene.
trated the right eyeball of HI S, Banty,
who resides at Mabel in the Mohawk
valley. II caused no particular pain or
annoyance, and the incident was almost
forgotten until about a week ago, when
the splinter began to work out and the
edge scratched the eyelid, causing con-
siderable annoyance, Mr., Banty came
to Eugene yesterday to consult a physi-
cian The piece of steel was removed,
and 1t was found to be nearly half an
inch long by quarter of an inch wide,
II is considered remarkable that the
piece of metal imbedded in the eyeball
caused no pain nor trouble during the
three years.

Portsmouth, Aug. lS.-Black pes.
simism reigns at Portsmouth tonight,
and the prevailing view is that the fate
Of the peace conference has already been
/. H. .dn: w.. shrdl shrdlu sh
settled, that it has ended in failure
and all that now remains is far the
plenipotentiaries to meet next Tuesday,
to which day they adjourned this aft
enoon, sign tle final protocol, go
through the conventions and bid each
other farewell. But there is still room
for hope, as neither President Roosevelt
nor the powers win see the chance for
peace shipwrecked without a final ef-
fort.
King Edward Is understood to be
lending helping hand and the fnanciers
of the world are known to be exerting
all their energies toward securing last
ing peace, The japanese have listened
and explained, but have yielded not one
iota OF the substance Of their original
demands. III
Witte has accepted outright seven Of
the l2 Japanese conditions, and one in
principle. OF the remaining four, includ.
ing the main issues Of the indemnity
and the cession of Sakhalein, he reject
ed two. The other two, the Limitation
of Russia's naval power and the sur
render of the interned warships, might
have been arranged had there been any
prospect of an agreement on the two
points upon which tn divergence seemed
irreconciliable.
Now both sides turn to home for the
last word before the cards are thrown
face upward upon the table next Tues.
day.
| In the interim fresh instructions are
received by either side a compromise is
yet possible, but the chances are recog.
nized as slight, for as far as the Russian
plenipotentiaries are concerned, there
never was chance of them yielding both
the indemnity and Sakhalein.
The eession of Sakhalein without the
indemnity was the extreme limit
to which Witte would consent to go, and
tonight new factor has been intro
dueed which lessons materially the
chances of an agreement, namely the is.
suance fthe emperor's manifesto grant
ing popular representative body to his
subjects. The bearings of this ''histOri-
cal document" as Witte described it
upon issue, are easily comprehensive, as
it is bound to ameliorate the internal
situation in Russia.
1t is an entering wedge for the realiza-
ton Of century old dream of the Rus
sian people.
