BETTER POULTRY

That Improved Breeds Of
Chickens Are as Important

jefferson City, Mo March o.
President R. P. Thompson, OF the

looking iuso the legal status OF the
association.
The last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 to be used by the association
In the pay ments Of premiums alone
at the annual poultry shows In
1905 6 The bill was so drawn that
Governor Folk felt forced to veto 1t.
This deprived the association oil all

dsavor to work up q healthy senti'
ment in favor Of an adequate appro-
priation from the next Legislature.

Poultry raising may look like q

Thompson. "but In reality II has

Brides Now Wear Two Wells.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Brides to-be who have gone to
Paris for their clothes and have filed
their trunks with lovely apparel, say
that there Is a fad over there for the
wearing OF two wedding wells. One
IL OF Brussels lace and the other OF
tulle. The tulle veil has the sdvan-
tage OF not disarranging al elabor-
a te coiffure. A bride who introduced
this idea in Paris wore the veil OF
orthodox tulle over her face, while
hanging down her back was the rich
Brussels lace drapery, looped up in
graceful folds with sprays OF orange
blossoms behind the ears. There is
lit tie doubt that the bride who
wis hes to have just touch OF origi-
nality to set her costume apart from
the conventional will be much taken
with the idea.

trout. which filled the waters of the
river.
One sultry afternoon he quilted his
work of telling the trees, and taking his
fishing tackle he started off up the
stream in pursuit of mess of trout.
The boy begged hard to accompany
him, but as he was going some distance,
he decided that the tramp would be too
much for him, and SO bade him remain
at home with his mother.
Promising to be home by sunset, he
went down to the stream, and was soon
engaged in taking the trout therefrom.
He nearly always had good luck In
fishing, but now it was better than usual.
He thought that never before had he
known them to bite so well. So he went
on enjoying the sport, and filing up his
string rapidly.
About half mile above his clearing
his attention was attracted by some
footprints In the sand. Another glance
told him that they were the tracks Of a
huge panther that had here CROSSED the
stream. They had been recently made,
perhaps not more than an hour before.
He could not resist gazing furtively
around as though he half expected to see
the animal peering down upon him
from amid the foliage on the bank But
he saw nothing, and as he went onward
the incident was soon forgotten.
The trout still continued to be taken
readily; and so much engaged was he
that he took little note Of how fast the
time was flying.
But at last, when the sun could nc
longer be seen in the gorge through
which the stream ran, he suddenly be-
thought himself that 1t was time for hin
| to be turning homeward.
So he hurried out of the stream, and
doing up his fishing tackle. he started
on for his cabin.

Strong Vitality In Seed Corn,

Weekly Agricultural Letter.
1t Is not only important that seed
corn shall grow when 1t is planted,
but il is Of great Importance that IL
has strong terminating power. How
to get seed corn Of strong vitality, 10
one Of the most important things
connected with the seed corn busi-
ness. Ordinarily the farmers do not
believe that corn which has matured
we'll will be materially affected BY
standing In the open field some time
after 1t has ripened or from the 81
iects Of low temperature through the
winter.
Some tests were made last year BY
the U. s. department Of Agriculture
on the seed corn farm OF Funk Bros,
Bloomington, ILL.,, to determine the
effects on the vitality OF seed corn
gathered at different seasons OF the
year and stored by different methods
The results were the corn gathered
In September did not germinate as
we'll as the corn gathered In October,
neither did the corn gathered In
December terminate as we'll as the
corn gathered either in October or
September. About the middle oil
January there was a severe coldspeli
when the temperature fell to % de-
grees below zero. After this freeze,
seed corn that had been stored in al
ordinary open crib and had tested
90 per cent before the freeze showed
a terminating quality OF only GA PEI
cent after the freeze. In an artificial
> ly heated seed house the test made
before the freeze was 96.S, while after
the freeze it was 81, or practically
the same as before. Now it is not
profitable, perhaps, for every farmer
+ to maintain an arti6cially heated
seed house for storing seed corn, but
every farmer has room in the hous,
where he can store the few bushels o
seed corn that he will need to plant
, in a room where the temperature viii

DEBATE IS DEsULTORY.
Commons Discuss Reply to Address
 From the Throne.


 London, Feb. 2.-The House of Com mons devoted the entire day and night to a desultory debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne. Among the motions. of which notice was given the following will be moved from the government benches:
 The House of Commons, recognizing the general decision of the people of the United Kingdom in demonstrating unqualified fidelity to the principles of free trade. deems 1t right to record it's determination to resist any proposals whether for the taxation of foreign corn or by the erection of general tariff on foreign goods which will create a system of protection"
 This resolution will be moved after the adoption of the address. It Is understood that the Duke of Devon- shire will move a similar resolution in the House of Lords. The unionists will move an address condemning the pro- posed changes in the government of ireland as tending in the direction of home rule. This is intended to draw from the government a declaration of its policy with regard to Ireland.

 New York. Feb. 19.--The trial of Berthe Clayehe, a twenty-five year old French girl, on the charge of shooting and killing Emile Gerdron on the night of July 8, last, was scheduled to be- gin today in the court of general ses- sions The case is an unusually pa- thetic one and an element or mystery is attached to 1t.
 Rerthe Clayehe claims that Gerdrou, who was a young giant. standing over six feet and weighing nearly 25o pounds had made her his slave for SIX years, during which time she said ne beat her and forced her on the streets to earn a living for him. So impress sive was her story that money for her defense has been largely supplied from contributions of wealthy women of New York city.
 Although the girl admitted she killed Gerdron the circumstances surround ing the shooting were so unusual that they have given rise to charges that members of the police had secretly urged the girl on. Gerdron was shot while under arrest and walking along the street and in custody of three ofti- cers It Is now claimed that $500 which Gerdron is said to have had on his per son at the time was missing when the contents of his pockets were turned over to police headquarters. Berthe Clayhe said thae Gerdron brought her ! here from France when she was 1G years of age and forcibiy made her a woman of the streets.
 On the night of July 8, she ran from her room and complained to three offi- cers whom she met that Gerdron had beaten her and that she wanted him arrested. While she was making the request. Gerdom himself came up and was placed in custody. It is alleged | that he then turned on the girl, ex- claiming. T will kill you You will have me arrested, will you? Well. you are as good as dead now"
 A moment afterwards when his back was turned, Bertie Clayehe shot him three times, and as she gave herself up to the officers, she cried:
 1 T am glad I killed him, and would dc if twenty times over. He made me his slave. but he will never raise his hand against another woman.
