Poultry Plckines

II chickens are compelled to she'll
their own corn, there is little danger
of gluttony from this source. They
should be fed earlier atnight, in time
to dig out their own supper. Break or
chop the corn as convenient and the
chickens will be benefited by the exer-
else of shelling. For charcoal bake
some of the broken ears In the oven,
until they are black and note how the
fowls will enjoy the charred corn.
Chickens enjoy eating pieces Of pump
kin in winter. A beet scored and
placed on spike driven in for the
purpose is keenly relished. Apple and
potato parings help to spell the bill Of
fare. II vegetables are not appreciat-
ed, try boiling them and feed less
corn. Milk, sweet or sour, increases
the egg yield. Western Poultry Jour

In my extensive experience with
poultry I find dry houses are far more
essential than warm ones. Have the
floor of earth, some to 10 inches
above the ground outside, renewing
each year, with either a loft above OF
else heavy canvas doors or windows,
which need be the only Enclosure DUR
ing the day when weather is fair.
Fowls will keep more rugged and
stand more cold without freezing
combs or wattles. In real severe
weather your doors can be closed or
the window drawn.-C. F. McLain,

Forced to Flee City.

Two years ago, after the student
riots, in which many we're killed or
wounded, several hundred explosions
to Siberia followed under the orders
of Grand Duke Sergius and Gen. Trepoff,
now governor general of st. Peters,
burg, but who was then chief of police
of Moscow. AS there were many
threats made against his life. the grand
duke was obliged to flee to his sum-
mer residence, 20 miles from the city.
During the recent strike disturbances
the grand duke left the Diskoutohny
palace on the outskirts of the city,
where he had been living, and took
refuge inside the ramparts of the
Kremlin, where he had since lived in
what is known as the Little Palace,
opposite the famous statue Of Alex
ander II. The trip to the Kremlin on
that occasion was made at night bs.
tween solid lines of troops.

OF Emperor Nicholas at TsafsKUe -SsiU
Friday, was frankly told by the emperor
that the zemsky sober would be elected
under class franchise by the mobiles,
clergy, merchants and peasants, but that
all the deputies would sit together; and
the committee of ministers was charged
by the emperor with the appointment Of
committee to work up the details Of
the electoral machinery.
News Prostrates Gear.
The news of the assassination Of
the grand duke reached Tsarskoe-Selo
while theimperial family were entertain
Ing Prince Frederick Leopold Of Prus-
STA. 1t created the greatest consterna-
ton. The emperor is reported to have
been completely Frustrated. All fes-
tivities in honor of the Prussian guest
were at once abandoned.
Tragedy No Surprise.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 18.-The news
Of the tragedy in which Grand Duke
Sergius was blown up created a ire
mendous sensation in ST. Petersburg
where the announcement by telephone
from Moscow arrived during the after
noon. The tragedy in reality was NO
great surprise, as it was known that
the terrorists had already condemned
the grand duke to death. and ever since
the affair of January % the Inaugural
ton of mountaineering campaign had
been anticipated. Grand Duke Sergius
who was brother-in-law as well a.
uncle of the emperor. and who had ex.
ercised immense influence at court, was
regarded as the most reactionary OF
the grand dukes. AS governor general
of Moscow he was intensely unpopular
His advent as governor general Of
Moscow was followed by expulsion Of
the Jews from the central provinces
and throughout his administration his
rigorous and harsh measures aroused
the greatest hostility, especially among
the students.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT
HAS BEEN lNAUGURATED

WASHINGTON state depart
ment has been informed by it's consuls
that the Chinese boycott against
American goods, which was instituted
Wednesday, was organized by the
trade guilds in five ports, Shanghai,
Canton, Tien Tsin, Hankow and New
Chwang. 1t is believed the boycott
will not be successful or do any par
ticular injury to American goods, ex-
cept in Canton and Shanghai, where
the guilds are stronger than else
where. There is no official action
which the United States government
can take as long as it remains single
boycott or refusal to purchase Ameri-
can goods, but it is thought the boy
colt will be discouraged by the Chi
nese government as far as possible.

CORN DOES WELL

THE YIELD or WINTER WHEAT
IN Nebraska It is said to BE Better
Than Expeoted-Rust Prevalent In
the Dakotas and in Minnesota.

WASHlNGTON-The weekly bulle-
tin of the weather bureau summar-
lies crop conditions as follows:
Favorable temperatures prevailed
during the week ending July II
throughout the country. The intense
heat on the Pacific coast during the
latter part of the previous week was
followed by decided lower tempera.
ture. Heavy rains interfered with
work in the Ohio valley and over
large part of the South Atlantic and
Gulf states, but a very general alb
sence of rain in the west Gulf dis
tricts with only light showers over
much Of the Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi valleys afforded favorable OPP
portunity for much needed cultivation,
Rains would be of great benefit in the
southern plateau region.
Corn has made splendid progress
throughout nearly the whole of the
corn belt and is decidedly improved
in the states of the Missouri valley,
where its previous progress has been
retarded by cool weather. While the
general outlook sustained some in
Jury on low land in Missouri and in
portions of the south Atlantic and
east Gulf states and Is not in good
state of cultivation in portions Of the
Ohio valley.
Further reports Of injury to har-
vested winter wheat are received from
the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, the
middle Atlantic states. Texas and Ok
lahoma and Indian Territories, but no
complaints of this character are re-
ceived from Kansas and Nebraska
both quality and yield in the last
named state being better than was
expected. Harvesting, where not
finished in the more northerly dis
tricts, Is well advanced.
Spring wheat has experienced q
week of favorable weather and con-
tinues in promising condition. While
rust is still prevalent in the DaIotas
and to some extent in Minnesota, 1t
is not increasing in the first named
states and there is very little in
Minnesota. Spring wheat is filing
nicely on the north Pacific coast,
where the hot winds of the previous
week caused but slight injury Rust
is increasing in Washington, in cen
trail Mississippi and Ohio valleys and
in portions of the middle Atlantic
states oat harvest has been interrupt
ed and considerable damage to both
harvested and standing oats has re-
suited from wet weather, Harvesting
is largely finished except in the more
northerly districts, where good yields
are promised
Much hay has been damaged in the
central Mississippi and Ohio valleys
and middle Atlantic states, but in New
England and the Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys haying has pro
crossed under favorable conditions.

LONDON--In the house OF commons
Mr.. Robertson asked Premier Balfour
whether there had been any further
international conference proposed by
President Roosevelt, and whether the
government was prepared to agree to
the presidents proposal to include in
the subjects for discussion the ques-
tion OF Ma ing private property not
contraband of war free from capture
or destruction. Mr. Balfour replied
that the government cordially well
coined the proposal Of President
Roosevelt, but Great Britain, in com.

right of considering what should be
submitted to the conference.

while the actual hearings by the com
