How to Mate Fowls.

The mating of the fowls is of great
importance 10 the true fancier, and
should receive careful attention from
him. The experienced and successful
fancier well knows its Importance
and realizes that upon mis- knowledge
of the same much of his success de-
ponds, says the writer in the Indiana
Farmer. Many seasons work has
been failure, from a fancier's stand
point, simply because of mistakes in
mating. The stock may have been
good, but not well mated, and the re-
suit therefore was a failure To the
beginner it may seem that by mating
his highest scoring male with his high
est scoring females he has made his
best possible mating and can conf
IDENTITY look for good results in their
progeny. This may at times prove
correct, but not always; it depends Up
on circumstances. No bird is perfect.
and therefore must have its faulty
points as well as it's good points. Now
to mate male bird having a faulty
comb with females with a like defect,
we must not expect the outcome to be
good; for the offspring are apt to
come with this defect magnified. We
should not expect good results from
mating male and female with the
same defect, for we will not get any
but bad results. 1t requires but little
thought for one to plainly see this, and
cause him or her to say that with such
a male one must mate females having
good combs If good results in that d.
rection are to be expected You may
see by so doing you will not always
obtain good results or bad, but you
will always have bad chicks; you will
receive many good birds To obtain
chicks as near perfection as can be
got, always breed from the very best
stock that can be obtained

How to Care for Shrubbery.

1t has been found among the best
gardeners that the fall of the year is
practically the most desirable season
to begin new gardens as far as shrub
berry is concerned, and If the shrubs.
vines and trees are properly cared for
in their removal, and the ground is
suitable for their planting at the
proper time, they are very much more
apt to start better in the spring and
represent a more thrifty and hardy
lot than if the same proceedings were
inaugurated in the spring time. One
of the common defects in laying out
shrubbery is that most gardeners do
not show care enough in the early
preparation of the soil, because when
you stop to think, if the hole is no.
made fit to put the shrub into, that is,
if care is not shown in removing rocks,
roots, etc, how can it be expected that
the shrubs will improve from year to
year, asks a writer in the Massachu,
sets Ploughman. 1t is always well
TO have very ricn soil adapted to the
peculiar nature and requirements OF
the bush that is planted. Too much
care cannot be shown in this respect
Shrubs are divided into various classes
so far as their thriftiness is concerned.
some requiring a great amount OF
sunshine, while it is better if others
were permitted certain amount of
shade, and then, again, other shrubs
exposed to severe winds, if they are
not in proper combination with
stronger varieties are easily broken,
and when a series of shrubs are plant
ed for garden effect it is very disap-
pointing to have the upper branches
broken down and snapped, thus injur-
ing the effect. 1t is necessary also
to make different arrangement and
to follow various styles of trimming to
have a corresponding varied appear
ance, designed to produce certain
graduation in planting shrubs of differ
ent sizes and Towering.
In laying out beds of shrubs an
other important thing is to suggest
the idea of series Of coverings con.
tinuously from early spring to late in
the fall, making very attractive
showing The effect of coloring is an
other desirable feature; if one can lay
out his patches so as to include
bunch of white here, red there, and a
mixed coloring in another spot, it is
very pleasing to the eye On the con-
trary it is very distressing, for in
stance, to have several shades of red
together. Harmony in color is as de
sirable and important a feature in
shrubbery as it is in laying out flower

They had come to this meeting
without suspicion of what the truth
really was; neither of them laid the
blame on her who was engaged to
them both.
In the long, sleepless night that had
preceded this morning, the doctor
had not been able to shake off the
gloomy feeling that it would be better
for Katie if a merciful bullet should
preserve her from a lifelong union
with man, every fibre of whose
heart belonged to another. and that
it would be better for him if he were
not condemned to act part forever
before the woman who loved him so
ardently.
He was very calm when he reached
the place of meeting. The prepare.
tons were soon made.
The doctor had cast only one glance
at the white face of the little officer,
whose light eyes looked black today:
after that he kept his eyes on the old
oak tree. which looked so deliciously

and easily grown. The syringa is an
other one of these Indispensable
shrubs that are priced for their beau
tiful foliage and white flowers. Tne
spiraea is a very desirable shrub ana
comes in many varieties. They usu-
ally flower in the early spring. me
flowers form a perfect mass on the<
shrub. and last for a long time. Tpf
lilacs are among the shrubs which our
erandmothers used to plant. They
are probably one of the Oldest OF
shrubs, and can be found in any OF
our old-fashioned gardens, and their,
popularity is increasing. The vlbur-
NUNS are included in the grouping OF
snow-baIls. which give the same
snowy effect as produced by hydran-
geas in the fall. They are invaluable
in shrubbery borders. In mentioning
the above varieties of trees and
shrubs. it is needless to state that
there are probably some 500 varieties
which may be enumerated, and one
who was not familiar with all the
classes of shrubs and their respective
families has no conception of the ire
mendous representation OF the garden
er's skill and labor.
Shrubbery is more popular now than
ever, and it is surprising to note what
general effect it has upon the appear
ance of a fine estate. Seldom do we
see nowadays any grounds laid out
that do not include perhaps so to 100
varieties of shrubs. There are all
kinds and conditions represented,
specimens that may never grow high
er than six inches, to tall lilacs and
syringas, which can easily be allowed
TO grow six feet. There is much to be
said in reference to the care and mani
agement of shrubbery that several
special articles could easily be written
to guide and recommend certain
plants which are far superior to Ordi-
nary treatment
In many cases where pruning, ETC.,
is practised by inexperienced people
without any knowledge of the require
ments of the shrubs, there is no won
der that certain effects cannot be pro-
duced Some shrubs may be cut in
the fall, others in the spring, and
still others not until after they have
Powered. 1t has been known in some
cases where gardeners have slashed
into shrubs to lower them and perhaps
make them look attractive; they have
so treated them that the shrub goes
from year to year without any flowers
If this effect is desired. it is better to
select some hedge plant that would
give the effect withoutinjuring the gen
eral condition of the respective shrub.
These little types Of the gardeners
skill must be permitted to bloom the
same as a flower in order to develop
them to a degree of perfection. A
shrub that does not flower does not
have that brilliancy of color to it's
leaves nor does it shape as it should.
neither does it have what we would
consider perpetual existence. The
gardener is treating it badly if he does.
not allow it to have what nature
provides for it. In setting out new
shrubbery after the soil is carefully
prepared, be sure that the shrubs are
not covered up the first winter at
least three inches from the ground
This practice will be found in many
respects advantageous in the success

Notes..

The seeding of clover to produce
best results is a matter of consider
able Importance. In some localities
wheat mas been found clovers best
nurse crop. Rank growing crops, as
some varieties of oats and barley, fail
to give young clover an opportunity to
develop, and hence these are general
ly unsuitable as nurse crop Poor
seed, perhaps, has more frequent
cause of clover failure than all other
cause combined. The tests made to de-
termine the terminating power of
clover seed have frequently shown a
very low percentage of termination.
which is sufficient to explain the cause
of the patchy condition of many new
clover fields. If more attention were
given to securing good seed, it is be
lieved that there would be far less par
tial clover failure.
The simplest way of killing locust
or other trees is to cut them down
soon after the quick growth of the
spring has been made, which in vour
section would be sometime about the
LIST to the 10th of June. If you merely
wish to kill them without removing
them, there is no better way than to
girdle them around by cutting through
the sap wood with an AK. the use of
salt about the roots of trees will kill
them, but it requires large quantity
to kill established trees.
Good care and feeding of poultry
will more than pay any farmer.

Druggist Meets Death.

Berry Lowther, young pharmacist
in the employ of the Century Drug
store in Jackson, was found in a dying
condition in his room in the southern
part of the city, and before restora-
tives could be applied he had breathed
his last. Mr.. Lowther had been trou-
bled with nervous headache for sew
eral days, and when he left the drug
store carried with him a two-ounce
phial Of papine He went to his room
about 10 O'Clock and a short while
afterwards was found lying across his
bed in an unconscious condition and
breathing heavily. physicians were
sent for, but before they could apply
the emetics the drug had worked It's
effects with fatal results. The young
man was from the neighborhood OF
Florence, in Rankin county, where
he leaves a number of relatives, and
his remains were sent to his old home.
At first his death was attributed to sui
cidal intent, but those who knew the
man assert that this theory must be
incorrect, but that it was really unin-
tentionally that the result of an over
dose was administered in order to re-
lleve the racking pain.
