The System Can Be Traced to the Filth
Century. 3. C. ~
Shorthand is so closely associated
with the hurry and rush Of modern
business that it lis startling to think
of it's having been in use among the
ancient Greeks and Romans. Yet there
seems to be no doubt that the orations
Of Cicero were committed to paper
with as much skill and rapidity as the
modern stenographer can boast.
Just how old the system Of abbre-
Waited writing is which the ancient
Greeks called tachygraphy it is impcs-
sible to say. Xenophon is believed to
have used 1t in taking notes Of the lee
lures Of Socrates, which would take it
back to the fifth century before Christ:
This is disputed by some authorities,
but there seems to be no doubt about
its use in the first century a writer
in the Chicago Tribune gives some in
teresting facts about 1t.
The development of shorthand was
due especially to Marcrs Tullius Trio:
Born In Latium in 103 B, c., Trio, who
was a slave, was brought up with
Cicero, who was some years his junior.
Freed, he became C;cero's secretary
and in this capacity aided him greatly.
In the famous trial Of Catiline (63
B. CO. the stenographic rapidity OF
Trio was at its height.
In the first century before Christ 8,
discourse Of Cato Uticensis, according
to Plutarch, was taken down by short
hand reporters.
Early in the third century ammo
Domino is found the term semeiograph:
(stenographic character). used by the
Greek orator. Flavius Philostratus:
Origen of Alexandria QS5-254 a. D3
noted his sermons down in shorthand,
and Socrates, the ecclesiastical his
torian Of the fourth century, said that
parts Of tie sermons Of st. John Ghrys-
ostom were preserved by the same
process.
The shorthand that they used was a
form Of writing in which each word
was represented by special sign The

tions. connected so as to admit Of
great rapidity Of execution. formed the
elements of these characters.

more troublesome, but this is not the
case with me anyway, only once in
nineteen years have I seen mites, and
that was my first year. I've never
settled in my mind how it occurred,
for everything was new I've always
thought 1T was the dirt placed in the
bottom OF nests that brought them
When discovered, the hens backs were
covered with them. The eggs were
plpped. made new nests in boxes,
wiped the hens off carefully, and burn
ed the barrels and nestings. The hens
finished the hatch, and | never saw
another mite, which | think rather
strange. We, Or rather most OF US,

others are all wire. ALI have shingled

a cold snap. as we do once in while,
bags are tackled around the wire
coops to save the combs. You can
readily see that coops OF this de-
scr1Dtion, are easily cleaned; the roosts

houses, on raised platform, under trees.
An advantage we have over the cold
er climate is that we can set hens out
in the open any time Of the year, and
hatch every month in the pear, raise
the broods with very little loss. We
have to guard against hawks and
night prowlers, and for that reason all
small coops have tight removable bot
toms, which serve double purpose, OF
exemption from dampness and loss
from pole cats. We do not have the
dreaded roup, though it is sometimes
brought here from fowls purchased,

Breaking Up the Broody Hen.

Breaking Up the Broody Hen.
At this season, it often happens
that more hens want to sit than are
needed, and it is not always easy to
break them of this desire.
The American Agriculturist con-
tanned collection Of methods, given
by various subscribers, and among
them you may find one which will
suit you:
My method of breaking up broody
hens is by putting them in pen
with vigorous young cockerel.-
Plummer Mccullough, Mercer Coun-
ty, Pa.
The way l break up broody hens
is to let them sit about three days,
then put them in slat coop about
2x3 feet square set up from the
ground at convenient height Give
them plenty of. light, fresh water and
grit, feed them sparingly and in three
or four days find them broken up if
not overfat. Then it sometimes takes
longer.-J. A. Lindstrom, Morris
County, N. J,
My method of breaking up broody
hens is to shut them up in a large
airy coop with a couple of Leghorn
cocks and feed producing feeds
and set coop in a cool, shady place,
if in the summer-Julius Runge, Dane
County, Wis.
We keep one rooster more than we
need in the flock or yard, and have
separate yard for him with roost-
ing place and put the broody hens in
the yard and feed for eggs. Should
the hens endeavor to sit in the yard,
which is seldom, we exchange them
again to another yard Or coop and
put a rooster with them.-E. L..
Griggs, Daviess County, Mo.
When | want to break up broody
hen I make crate with one and one
half-inch Stats one inch apart (these
Stats can be very light, one-fourth-
inch thick), Stats on bottom same as
sides. Make this crate large enough
to put hen, then suspend the crate
from the ceiling with the hen in.
This method has been very success
full with me. It usually breaks them
up in "a hours.-R. D. Men,, Cortland
County, N. Y.
Broody hens may be broken up by
placing them in nice, roomy coop,
with vigorous male; give fresh
water every udy, dAu dDuA1ud1lCC VI
feed, with as much variation as pos
sible with shell and grit and meat
and bone. In three days let them
out and in less than week they
will be laying &C. c. Elder, Fairfield
County, 0.
Putting broody hens in strange
yard or pen with male that has not
had access to female is my method
of breaking the sitting fever. It is
done as soon as possible after the hen
becomes broody.-Rev. A. B. Adams,
Polk County, Ia.
I think the best method in break
ing up broody hens is to confine them
in Slated coop or anything that
they can have good view of the
other fowls and to feed them heavily.
Some people say, do not feed any,
but this is mistake, because if they
are not fed, it takes longer to make
them change their minds and longer
to begin laying. If they are fed and
watered we'll, they will, sometimes,
begin to lay in few days after let
ting them out.-Ira D. Sleet, Gallat1n
County, KY.

Now let me, without telling yo1
what makes fat and what feed doe
not, tell you little experience alons
this line.
Two pens with about the sam,
number of birds and the same kind o
Rocks were placed in the trial ground
In one pen the birds were fed al
they would eat and such food too a!
made fat. The other pen the feee
was just the opposite. The surpris
ing thing to me was that the hen:
that we're fattest ate the most an(
laid the most eggs. From an egg
point Of view [ was tempted to make
them all fat but I kept to my ex
pertinent.
It takes time as we'll as patience tc
find out things new to yourself anC
that will finally convince yourself
The eggs were marked and in time
were used for Matching purposes
Then another surprise came The
eggs from the fat hens did not hatch
as we'll nor were the chicks as hardy
as those from the birds which were
not fat. So since that time I think q
hen may have lots Of fat about he1
and yet produce plenty of eggs, but
the result afterWard is bad. So far
my experiments have not changed my
mind I would like to have others re-
port something about the same line

ter what was wanted is-What is the
best feed to give laying birds?' [ will
risk an answer to such a question
| have no hard fst-rule to follow on
the handiest and that which to my
mind tastes the best to the birds
Nature ever asserts herself even IN
the seemingly so small thing as q
hens appetite. Woe unto the man
who disregards this craving on the
hens part for something else to eat. >

the birds were doing little good !

cob goodness, yes, I give them about

did, but they wanted something
that was under the shade. | said
would you care to let them out OF
this run for an hour or two?' He did
not object, but opened the gate and
it was such a surprise to his birds that
they stood at the open gate wonder
ing whether it was really dream or
an opportunity to get what they
wanted. At last one made a break
and then another We watched them
Some ran to the shady side Of the
house where the grass was green
sweet and tender, then away to some
trees and there they scratched around
in the soft, mellow, fresh earth and
SO on, and the friend was convinved
that he had omitted to give them a
