WHAT TO FEED CHICKENS.
Variety Is an Important Thing
Barley, Wheat and Oats Make
Good Mixture.

A variety of feed is best. No sin
gle grain equals mixture. Rye is a
poor feed, barley is good, and
wheat and oats the best, says Farm
ing, A mixture of the last three
mentioned with a smaller proportion
of corn, is very satisfactory. Only
sound grain should be fed. The av-
erage screenings in the market are
an uncertain quantity. Feed all grain
in deep litter, rye or wheat straw
being the best, SO that the hens will
be compelled to scratch and get ex-
ercise. Give plenty of grit, crushed
oyster shells and pure water. We
usually feed mash one. a day, and
prefer not to feed it in the morning,
but to let them warm up by scratch
ing in the coolest part of the day.
The mash may vary largely accord
ing to locality, but we prefer about
one part wheat bran, two parts
ground corn and oats, one part cut
clover meal or alfalfa meal, and one
part meal, with the addition of lit
tie linseed meal, middlings, charcoal
and salt.

Authority Gives Advice to Brides
Which Need Not Be Followed
Teo Literally.

A great many bridsgrooms are like
1elly. 1t is only when thoy begin to
grow cold that they become SCI in their
ways, says a writer in Good House
keeping. 1t is always wise, therefore,
for the bride to remember this and
while there is yet time to mold him
into the proper form for future keep
ing.

fore, 10 obey their own blind instincts
and to train up their husbands in the
way they should CO. Mere man thinks
he knows something and he is inclined
to act upon this fatal assupmtion too
often.
The bride, however, does not know
she divines, and she should hold him
sternly fast to her intuition, selecting
for him the things that he needs-or
doesn't-feeding him on the things
that are good for him-or are not
taking him to the places where he is
anxious to go-or isn't-and, III short
doing for him all the things that he
likes-or doesn't like-in the firm as
surance that her own sweet incOmpe
tence is by far the best guide.

LATE CHICKS.
Tendency of Late Years Has Been to
Hatch Too Many-Make Good
Spring Layers.

Once the late chick was considered
of no account, not worth Matching.
OF late years the tendency has been
to hatch too may chicks late. Per
haps this is responsible for a great
deal of the poor fertility reported
every spring.
But the late chick as we get it and
find it in the growing should be con
sidered with more discrimination
than is implied in the general dis
cussion of late Matched" or of June
or July" chicks, says Farm Poultry
1t is not the time or the season
that makes or mars the chick. These
of course are factors, but more i'm
portant are the conditions of the par
ent stock and the conditions given
the growing chicks. Some fowls are
in better condition for breeding now
than they were in the earlier months.
These may reasonably be expected to
produce their best now. But from
Inns that are exhausted no good
chicks need be expected.

4 DISPUTE OYER TERMS.
Main Cause of Hitch in Russo-Jap-
anese Negotiations.

st. Petersburg, Dee. 29-The Russo-Japaness
negotiations for the conclusion Of a treaty OF
commerce were interrupted to-day by the de-
parture of DR.. Motono. the Japanese Minister
to Russia. for q fortnights stay In Paris. Con-
ferences continued up to the last moment. but no
agreement was reached. The two principal
points of contention. namely. the fisheries ques-
tion and the navigation Of the Sungari River.
are hard to solve. The commercial details Of
the treaty have been practically drafted. Rus
sia's objection TO the opening of the Sungari
River is due largely to the phraseology OF the
Chinese draft of the Treaty of Aigun. which ap-
plies the name Sungarl to the main river as far
as the sea. and refers to the Amoor as merely a
branch river The Russians fear that under this
phraseology the japanese will claim navigation
through Russian territory To the sea.
The government tonight issued an official COM
munication on the negotiations. After aluding
to recent reports of impending rupture. and
the arbitration Of the Japanese demands. the
communication sets forth the facts of the case.
as follows:
As provided in the Treaty of Portsmouth. the
commercial convention must be based upon
the convention of 1895. Russia has advanced no
new demands. Japan, on the contrary, has not
only demanded the inclusion of all privileges
granted to foreigners in recent Russian treaties,
but has made various new demands based upon
the changed situa ton In the Far East
three months have been devoted 10 the first
mentioned demands. and an understanding mas
been reached covering the matter of the most
favored nation treatment regarding commerce
navigation, real estate and the carrying on or
trades and manufactures. There still remain
Japans demands for free navigation or the
Sungari River--not the Anoor which IS not
mentioned in Japan's demands: the establishment
of Consulates in the Russian Far East. greater
passport facilities for Japanese in Asiatic Russia
and special tariff privileges for Russo-Japanese
commerce on the Manchurian frontier. THESE
last mentioned questions have not yet been taken
ND by the conference. There has merely been
preliminary exchange of views on them
With reference to the fisheries question, Rus
sia. in view of her future economic development
and the colonization of the Pacific Coast, has
not found it possible 10 accept the proposals
Japan made at the outset, as they gave the
Japanese far greater rights than were intended
by the Portsmouth treaty
The chief difficulty has been found In the In
terpretation of the French words "anses ct
feuves" tinlets and riversp, for according TO
the agreement reached at Portsmouth. mlets ana
rivers were TO he excluded from the fisheries
convention A Russo-Jap panese committee has
been appointed to determine the exact mean
ing of the words. No agreement on this point
has yet been reached, but the negotiations con-
tinue. and their course may be regarded as
normal.

4TTOCRACY STRONGER.
Russian Opposition Parties Nay
Unite at Elections.

ST PETERSBURG Dec. 29-Negotiations looking
to a coalition Of all the opposition parties in the
coming elections have been opened by the cen
trail committee of the Constitutional Democrats.
The leaders Of this party up 10 the present time
have rejected all overtures looking to alliance
on the ground that the party was powerfm
enough TO win alone. but their conversion TO the
idea of coalition is due to reports from the
interior showing the progress made by the con-
servative propaganda and the administrative
measures for the distribution Of land to the
peasantry in many sections of the country
coupled with realization that the government
has finally found a vulnerable point I'm their
armor in the election regulations issued this
week.
In these regulations Premier Stoiypin has
copied the American and Australian systems to
the extent of providing closed booths for secret
voting and the use of official ballots. Election
eering is prohibited only in the vicinity of the
polls but il has been arranged to furnish be
forehand supplies of official ballots. on which
the legaized political parties. such as the Oct"-
brists the Peaceful Regenerationists and the
uoparchists may print their tickets for distri-
button The Constitutional Democrats ana tne
other opposition parties have not this privilege
and their adherents will be forced TO write out
their ballots individually. This will lead to the
opening and possibly the rejection OF many
votes on account OF minor irregularities
The administrative veto of political meetings
and the prevention of the dissemination OF cam
paisn literature will further prevent the non
legalized parties from communicating lists ot
their candidates to their adhereh's except
through the newspapers
The Cabinet has now finished its preliminary
legislative work, and II Is UNDERSTOOD that no
more interim laws will he promulgated be-
fore the assembling Of the next parliament. \
