Vary the Mash.

Try to vary making mush for your
chickens. For instance, use salt and
pepper at one time, onions at anoth-
er. Water in which meat has been
boiled is excellent, and is heartily
enjoyed by the fowls. Powdered
charcoal put in the mash absorbs
poisonous gases in the intestines and
is fine medicine for Indigestion

Green Food and Shade.

Getting the most profit out of poul-
try with the least trouble and expense
has troubled poultry writer's and
breeders as well as novices in the
business for ages. Now, as feed is
the main item, l propose to make the
poultry partly raise their own feed.
1t has long been an eyesore to me to
see poultry yards as bare as a floor,
as most yards are. Ihave advocated
the planting of peach trees as afford
ing shade and some profit. But most
people object to planting trees on
rented ground and waiting several
years for results, and there are other
objections as, when the trees are we'll
grown they present inducements for
the birds to perch on their branches
and by that means fly over the fence.
Now, my plan produces results the
first season. l have two yards to each
house, which the poultry are at lib
erty to use in the late fall and until
spring. save all the droppings either
in pile under cover or in barrels.
Now, in the spring l turn the
chickens into one yard and either
spade or pillow the other yard, accord
ing to the size of it. mark it out
for corn and plant in the usual way,
but few more grains to the hill. l
cultivate this three times till it issfour
feet high, which, with me, was the
middle of June. The last time hit
it up well and after a rain turn the
poultry in, that is, after the ground
has settled little so the hens cannot
scratch so easily.
Now, this corn answers many pur-
poses. 1t provides shade when most
needed. The chickens do not allow
any suckers to grow and they strip
off the leaves several feet up the
stalk, which supply them with the
necessary green food. 1t also attracts
innumerable bugs which the chickens
also enjoy. The growing corn also
freshens the ground and keeps it
fresh, besides providing winter corn
for them. Now, the yard they have
vacated is planted to vegetables
bush beans, late cabbage, tomatoes,
sweet corn or 'rutabegas for winter
use. After these crops are taken off
we have new ground to turn our
onto in the late fall, and we
have been well repaid for our trou-
BILE, Some people may object to the
expense of fencing so much extra
ground. But this will be more than
paid for the first season, besides keep
ing your focks much healthier and
your yards a thing of beauty.
Now, | would follow this plan
| kept poultry on city lot
or on acres of ground. You can alter
nate your crops, growing corn one
year and vegetables the next; of
course, always keeping your poultry
where the corn is and not turning
them in too soon, always letting your
corn get at least four feet high. You
can keep this up indefinitely, as the
poultry droppings win he an plys,.

Yersity of Pennsylvania. 1t Is also
the fastest mile ever run by an Amer
ican-born athlete either indoors or out
doors. Sheppard until last year was
only a mediocre runner, able to do a
mile in about 4:4O. A year ago he
was granted the privilege of training
with the University of Pennsylvania
milers on Franklin field. He soon
made the Quaker stars look like nov
Ices and before the year was over
had established a record of 1859 for
the half mile, 4:28 rs for the mile
and 1853 for the two miles. His work
In the two miles was all the more
remarkable, since it was the first time
be had ever run this distance and was
made on the afternoon in which he
had previously won both a half-mile
and mile race. Sheppard entered the
University of Pennsylvania last fall,
but did not remain after the first
week, though he had passed all his
entrance examinations Sheppard is
now a member of the Irish A. A. c.
of New York. but lives in Philadel-
phia. His friends predict that before
his career ends he will break the
worlds amateur record of AIS 3-5,
held by Tommy Connect
Jimmy Lightbody, the Chicago
university crack miller, holds the con-
ference record with figures of 4:25.
F. A Rowe, of the University of
Michigan, ran two miles in last years
meet in $3.50. Some idea of what
Lightbody must do to surpass the
eastern youngsters mark can be
judged from these figures. Lightbody
Is regarded In the west as perfect,
natural runner and with the incentive
to go after the worlds mark and also
to beat this youngster westerners look
for something startling from him.
There is strong chance that he will
be developed for the mile only. with
the purpose of getting the lowest mark
possible out Of him.

CHAPTER x.
PIRATE,

On the opposite side of the road
there was a stone wall about five feet
in height; beyond this was a broad,
rolling field and farther on barbwire
fence and boggy stream which
oozed its way down toward the Poto-
mac. Far away across the valley the
wooded hills were dying and whitening
and thinning, with splashes of yell
low and red A flock of birds speckled
the fleecy October clouds, and a mild
breeze sent the grasses shivering.
Toward the wall Pirate directed his
course. Warburton threw back his
full weight. The effort had little or
no effect on Pirates mouth His rider
remembered about the tree, but the
nearest was many yards away. Over
the wall they went and down the
field. Pirate tried to get his head
down but he received a check Score
one for the man. Warburton, his
legs stiffened in the stirrups, his hands
well down, his breath coming in gasps,
wondered where they would finally
land. He began to use his knees and
Pirate felt the pressure. He didn't
like 1t at all. Oddly enough, Warbur-
tons leg did not bother him as he ex-
pected it would, and this gave him
confidence. On, on; the dull pounding
OF Pirates feet, the flying sod, the
wind in his face: and when he saw
the barbwire fence, fear entered into
him. An inch too low, a stumble and
serious injuries might result. He must
break Pirates gait
He began to saw cowboy fashion.
Pirate grew indignant: he was being
hurt. His speed slackened none, how
ever; he was determined to make
that fence if it was the last thing he
ever did. He'd like to see any man
stop him. He took the deadly fence as
with the wings of a bird. But he found
that the man was still on his back
He couldn't understand It, He grew
worried. And then he struck the red.
brown muck bordering the stream.
The muck flew. but at every bound
Pirate sank deeper, and the knees of
his rider were beginning to tell. War;
burton, full of rage, yet not unreason-
able rage, quickly saw his chance. Once
more he threw back his weight; this
time to the left. Pirates head came
stubbornly around; his gait was
broken, he was foundering in the
stream. Now Warburton used his
heels savagely. He sh ortened the reins
and whacked Mr.. Pirate soundly
across the ears. Pirate plunged and
reared, and after devious evolutons,
reached solid ground. This time his
head was high in the air, and, try as
he would, he could not lower his neck
a solitary inch.
