NOrcrOss's New Bird,

When Charles p. Norcross, now a
well )wn Washington correspondent,
began his newspaper career he was
sent to "cOver" one of the courts. His
business was to look at the docket and
find the facts about any case that seenl-
ed to him to warrant him in writing
about.
One afternoon he discovered an entry
that said one William Burns had been
arrested and fined $40 for stealing 4
martingale from James Jones, a neigh
Dor.
He recited thes facts In an introduc-
tory paragraph. and then went on :
"This criminal was justly punished, for
the pretty little martingale he stole was
the JOY and comfort of the wife Of
James Jones. She kept it in cage in
her parlOr, and when, tired with the
work Of the day, the martingale began
to pour forth those strains of melody
for which our Pittsburg martingales are
famous, she found great pleasure. Such
miscreants as this man Burns should
not be allowed at large, especially when
they descend SO low as to steal harm
less and melodlous martingales. Sat

AMHERST SWIM MING RULE.
l undergraduates Now Required to

u
The decree that has gone out from
Amherst College, now that the inStitu
tlon has a large and complete swim
mlnS equipment. that all students OF
that institution must not only battle but
learn to swim, Is arousing much inter

Democrat and Chronicle.
Heretofore. swimming has not been
dlgnitied as an accomplishment to be

has either been ignored altogether, or,
If encouraged, left optional with the
students whether they should acquire
it or not.
But Amherst has initiated a forward
movement in the matter and her eXper-

vertisement for the college. and will no

estimation of many young men: for in
this day Of athletics swimming should
be in favor with all who love manly

Strange as it may seem, It is said
that large percentage Of college
youths have not acquired the art of
swimming. A sturdy, healthy boy

Hay for Poultry.

The suggestion that hay makes a
good winter food for poultry would
have been ridiculed few years ago.
but experiments have proved that
clover hay is now almost a necessary
portion of a hens cold weather diet.
Glover hay for fowls should be cut
very fine, not over half an inch in
length, steamed and scalded and fed
once a day. A small quantity of corn
meal and bran sprinkled over the cut
hay will improve it. One reason clover
is such an excellent food for hens is
that it is rich in lime, substance the
hens require in providing the shells
for eggs. 1t is about equal to corn
as a flesh producer and contains near
ly 80 times as much lime. 1t is plenti-
full on all farms and requires but little
time in preparation. After the green
food is gone it will keep the hens in
laying condition and increase the pro-
duction of eggs.

AVOID NOSTRUMS.
Unwise to Go Doping Your Chickens
for Ailments.

A nostrum is, commonly speaking,
quack medicine. Poultry raisers as
well as others have to face the prob
lens of using or not using such
things. A great many medicines are
put up for the use of poultry raisers,
and the manufacturers advocate them
for well birds and for sick ones. Usu-
ally they are worthless and some
times they are positively dangerous.
One correspondent writes the Farm
ers' Review that he fed his fowls a
patent worm remedy, to keep them in
condition. All the fowls that received
the remedy. with one exception, died
from its effects. Healthy hens do not
need medicine any more than do
healthy people. To keep them in good
condition it is only necessary to give
them good food, pure water, pure air,
sanitary surroundings and opportuni-
ties for exercise.

KEEPING OUT MITES.
How the Poultry Raiser Can Keep His
Hen House Clean.

The successful poultry raiser has
learned how to keep out mites. 1t
may well be doubted If any successful
poultry raiser can be found whose
houses are teeming with mites.
Among the ways of keeping off the
mites are the following:
Have a house that Is light and
large enough for the flock, and see
to it that 1t is well ventilated.
Have the roosts, nests, dropping
boards and all fixtures removable, so
they can be cleaned perfectly, easily
and often.
Do not permit filth of any kind to
accumulate in this house, but make
sure that it is cleaned often.
The advice given by some is to
treat the house once in two weeks to
busting with air-slaked lime and sui
phur.
The boxes for the sitting hens
should be washed in kerosene or
crude petroleum before being used
In the Matching operations The straw
in such boxes should be burned after
the hen is through sitting.
Lastly, watch the entire poultry es-
adjustment to make sure that mites
do not get a start.

SQUAD FARMING TRUTHs.
Facts Cleaned from Thirty Years Ex.
perlence.

SQUAD farming has developed in the
last ten years into an industry of con-
siderable Importance, and SO far there
is no trust" connected with it.
IL Is important, before going into
the industry, that fair statement be
made OF what the financial returns
may be. For while the work among
the birds may to many people be the
most delightful and fascinating of all
rural occupations, still serious disap-
pointment will be met If only the
glowing promises of the boomers are
read.
Much OF the squad farming litera-
ture disseminated by those having
breeding birds to sell would indicate
that to obtain one of their beautifully
illustrated booklets and to buy some
birds from them, is all that is re-
CURED to assure complete success and
large profits. That is very far from
the truth.
II one is fond enough of the work
really to give the closest attention to
his birds until he knows they are
properly mated land this requires a
great deal of time and patience even
from the most experienced, and then
will daily continue to give them the
most careful attention and see that
all their requirements are met land
this is essentially, such a one will run
a good chance of raising an average OF
three to five pairs of marketable
squads per pair of breeders per annum
in the northern states. He will, how
ever, raise three to four pairs very
much oftener than five.
Presenting that the flock consists
OF Homers, the squads produced
should be mostly eight pounds to the
dozen, says Howard Butcher, in Farm
Journal. There might be a few weigh
ing nine pounds to the dozen, and an
occasional one little heavier; but
there will also be few weighing as
low as six to seven pounds 10 the
dozen, and once in while a Gull. Any
body in the last II months who OBJ
tanned an average of three dollars per
dozen for squads from such a flock,
got about the highest wholesale mar
ket price. 1t must be borne in mind
that while squads command fancy
prices in winter, that season is the
time when comparatively few are pro-
duced; the greatest prod uction is in
the summer when the prices are the
lowest. There is an opportunity some
times to sell young birds for breeding
purposes and thus get better price
for them than by killing for squads,
but, as rule, squad farmers have to
depend upon sending the birds to
market.

tone struck me as having in it some
thing OF plaintive appeal.

said he, rising with what was for him
haste.
But he was too late. The woman
entered searching the room with a
piercing, suspicious gaze. At once
saw, behind that look, jealousy that
pounced on every subject that came
