passed by the last legislature is un-
fair to. many worthy veterans. TO for

held at Hutchinson, and it was decided
TO ask the legislature this wi inter to-
amend the law, and to invite other vet
Grams to cooperate in the effort

pension must show proof Of injury. or
disability resulting from service in the

POULTRY PICKINGS,

A combination of alfalfa, meal. beef, scraps ground bone and few other in- gredients of minor importance makes the hest feed for chicks and laying hens that can be secured.
 With alfalfa meal poultrynan need not hesitate about keeping laying hens confined the year round if necessary. for the meal Is fully as valuable in maintain ing health and producuveness as the best natural grass.
 Mayor Headlee of Everett. Wash, is a chicken fancier himself and very ap- propriately vetoed the ordinance passed by the council to prevent cHickens from running at large.
 Hen manure, well dried and without too much dirt and feathers is worth about four times the average stable manure. In the East on poultry and fruit farms, the hen manure Is crushed and mixed with. chemicals.
 Change of climate has depressing effect on poultry. In almost every case when fowls are bred inland and shipped to the coast they decline, but fowls bred near. the coast do well when shipped in land.
 Never give fowls sulphur in damp or wet weather. and give 1t cautiously even in dry weather. If fed, and the fowls get wet. 1t is claimed to cause rheumatism and weakness of the legs.
 Dust is death to lice, and fowls should have full access to it. Sifted coal ashes are good for this purpose. But wood ashes bleach the legs of the yellow-legged breed.
 Young poultry should not be allowed to go hurry, nor should they be given more

CHILD ACTRESS AMBITIONS.
Little Helen Pullman Writes Her Owl Autobiography for Everybodys.

''The Players" Everybodys Magazine for
 January.
 Helen Pullman is quite the best child actress I have ever seen, wholly lacking as she is in self-consciousness. I wanted to know something about her, and this is what she wrote me in her own hand:
 :" T am the llttlest Claudia in The Prince Chap You see, 1t is just like the story of the Three Bears" There is lit- tie bear, a middle-sized bear, and a big bear. I am the granddaughter of Meth odist minister and none of my people have been on the stage My first start was when l won a prize for singing "On q Good Old Five-Cent Trolley Ride' in 8 contest. I was awfully proud when Paul Dresser handed me my prize money and said: There is something in her" When Ezra Kendall was looking for little girl to eat ice cream and run about in ''Weather- Beaten Benson" I thought it would just suit me. He thought I looked like good ice cream eater, too, so he en- gagged me and I ate ice cream for eight months. I got kind of tired of ice cream so I am glad it Is bread and jam in this play. I was with Miss Barrymore for a while, too, and then I became Claudia I am going to grow up into a real ac- tress some day.

For Years a Pilot.

Captain Clinton lives at No. Poplar street, Brooklyn. He has been for many years a pilot on the Pennsylvania rail roads annex ferry boats.
 q have worked on my airship for nine teen years,' Captain Clinton said yester- day. T believe l now have it perfected. 1 have invented 1t on an entirely new principle of air navigation. The same barriers found in air navigation are those present in water navigation, except that in the air one must contend with forces assailing from every direction. As long as it's aluminium, iron and silk hold out the ship will find its way all over the earth and against all winds, and never higher than at a safe distance.
 'T am experienced in the United States geological survey, and have not the least doubt of what 1 have invented and pat ented. l would like chance to prove, as believe ] can do, that at least one Amer ican knows more about airshlps than any Frenohman who ever tried his hand at the work

FITNESS FOR THE FARM.

Farming was once an almost universal
 occupation, but it Is now specialized i calling, like any other, and certain ft- i ness for 1t is as necessary as it is for
 business, law or medicine. People, farms
 and the modes of fitting the people for
 the farms very so widely that one finds
 1t difficult to adjust matters properly
 says the American Farmer.
 l There are some people who could not 1 be fitted for any farm; and there are
 some farms for which no one could be 1 fitted: and there is certain kind of ft- ting that would ruin any person for any
 farm.
 l If a person is properly fitted for farm 1 life the fitting of the farm to himself
 will follow The improvement of the farm i follows if the farmer has been educated for his work. The farm cannot be att l tractive unless one has been educated l for it; one cannot become attached to ] any pursuit unless he feels that he under stands 1t and can make of 1t a success
 To make a success of farming one must know it as trade; he should be as good
 a business man as the merchant; he
 should be practical in his methods of
 thinking and reasoning.
 1 If one has fitted himself for farm life,
 he will understand the methods of mak- l ing the farm attractive and productive l It will be his place Of business ana ms
 home. He will study It's weak and strong ] points, its capacities and its peculiari- 1 ties. and he will come to know by exper- 1 fence and good judgment how to manage
 the different parts of 1t to the best ad-
 vantage and will keep detailed account | each year. as any other business man will
 do He will study probabilities, the mar kets, the demands and sources of supply
 and he will keep his mind open for all new ideas.
 One properly fitted for the farm will
 lead in all that tends to the improvement
 social political and educational, thus help | ing to develop a rural life of wholesome | and satisfying surroundings.
