a birthday, and several of his friends

POULTRY NOTES.

Keep poultry houses clean and or
derby.
A pound of poultry a be grown at
less cost than a pound of beef, and
is worth more.
In setting hens, it is very important
to provide dry earth, mixed with lice
powder, in the bottom Of the box or
barrel.
Many young ladies who are seeking
situations as clerks, teachers or sales
ladies', can find more profitable and
healthy employment in raising poul-
try. .
Sour milk and butter milk are ex-
cellent food for all kinds of poul-
try, especially turkeys, ducks and
geese. When thickened with shorts,
bran or meal, it is a very nourishing
diet for young fowls.
Give the boys and girls an interest
in the poultry yard. Let them Ieve
a share of the profits, to clothe them
selves with. 1t will teach them self
reliance, business methods and prove
a powerful incentive in keeping them
at home.
Quantities Of chickens are count
ed on that never hatch, every spring
for want of a little common sense in
this very thing. A simple nest of
hay or shavings on a bare floor will
not answer The hen who steals her
nest knows how to do it and hatch
ten out of every dozen eggs. Provide
something to hold the heat under the
eggs while the hen leaves the nest to
feed, and make it easy for the hen
to supply her want without absenting
herself too long from the nest.-In-
diana Farmer.
Save the feathers; geese feathers
are always high and duck feathers
are worth almost as much. Turkey
tail feathers bring from 80 to 40 cents
per pound, being used in making
feather busters. Even colored chick
en- feathers are worth saving, al
though they sometimes get down to
five cents per pound. White Plymouth
Rock feathers have brought 2S cent
per pound. In picking chickens, sus-
pend them 80 you a stand up, and
have a barrel at your side to drop in
the clean dry feathers.

OF CHICKS.
It Is Exhausting Growth and Healthy
Feeding Is Necessary.

The sooner the young chick devel-
ops his feathers and gets rid OF his
down the better. The time at which
the chick is putting out feathers is
considered a crisis in his life. 1t is
therefore necessary to give him nutri-
tious food so as he can build the
feathers as soon as possible. A part
ration of meat daily is very good to
help him in this work, which comes
as an extra strain at this time. The
fact that some chicks feather too rap
idly is a cause of weakness with them.
There is no other way to do than to
give the very best food that can be
given, those feeds rich in body build
ing material. Skim milk is good.
But feeding of corn meal is COM
mon on some farms, the young chicks
being given a very large amount of
this kind of food. With corn meal,
says Prairie Farmer, the chick has to
digest a great deal of food to get the
amount of nitrogen needed for the
building of the feathers, and the feath-
ers are rich in nitrogen. One of the
best feeds at this time Is oatmeal.

even the most inveterate smoker takes
a rest between cigars. In this case
there was no chance of stopping, I'M
less he wished to miss a part Of the
treat"
The four dollar cigar is about eight
or nine inches long and proportionate-
ly bulky. According to the dealer, its
value depends principally upon the
length Of the tobacco leaf from which
it has been rolled.
"Of COURSE" he said, "the tobacco is
Of the best quality, but quality in
small leaves Is plentiful. The difficult
ty Is to find a leaf Of the size required
and Of the proper quality at the same
time. should say that the leaf for
this cigar measured about two feet.
"All the finest cigars come from
Cuba. We could get long leaves up in
Connecticut, but they wouldn't be
good enough. I've no doubt that there

want to hurt anybody. The road
looked good to him and he had bought
some of the stock. In fact, he hSl
bought the control. Gates didn't have
any special use for a railroad with
$500 miles of track, and he looked
around for a purchaser. He went to
Mr.. Morgan's office one morning, and
said: Morgan, 1 own the control of
the Louisville. If you want it or have
a buyer for it, you can take it off my
hands" Mr.. Morgan found a buyer
and Gates cleaned up a fortune.
Gates is a born gambler. When he
was a country shopkeeper out in ILL
nois he spent many a night in a "box-
car" on the siding, playing the great
American game" by the light Of a
trainman's lantern.
In active markets it has not been
unusual for Gates to carry a line Of
$685. 900, 900 or $50, 000, 900 worth of
stocks on margin. Some of the older
men in the street have tried again
and again to tie him up, but they
have never succeeded. Gates has
always had his eyes open. Where he
couldn't see far enough with his own
eyes, he paid somebody else to look
out for him. No operator in Wall
Street ever organized a more elabor-
ate system of getting advance infor-
nation of things that would affect
Wall street. When the street was
waiting %anxiously for the final decis-
ion in the Northern Securities case,
and the Union Pacific party believed
that it had defeated James J. Hill, Mr..
Gates n day sent word to Mr.. Hills
office that he had something to tell
him. The railroad president walked
down Nassau street and across Wall
street to the plunger's office. There
he learned from Gates that the SUI
preme court decision would be against
the Union Pacific. Gates didn't tell
how he knew it, but he assured Mr..
Hill that he knew what he was talk
ing about. Northern Securities began
to soar that day, and never stopped
until it had advanced $40 a share.
Some days later the Supreme court
decision was made public. 1t was just
what Gates said 1t would be.
OF the hordes of newly created mill.
ionaires borne into Wall street on the
wave of industrial combinations which
overwhelmed the country from 1898
to 1901, Gates was the most pictur-
esque. He has added to that distinc-
ton the further honor of lasting the
longest and of retiring not without
laurels. One may not wonder If it
might not be said of him now what
he once said Of himself on another
question, that he is mot broke, but
badly bent"

er crops, and threshing proved so
profitable that before the winter came
young Gates had made enough money
to buy out his two partners. At n
Of the farms where the lad had
threshed wheat he fell in love with
a farmers rosy-cheeked daughter.
This gave him an incentive to go
ahead and make a fortune.
A farming community away from
the railways does not present many
golden opportunities to an 1S-year-old
boy. Near the farm was a strip of
woodland where Gates shot par
tridges and squirrels. Tramping along
a foot-path in the woods one day the
idea cana to him that if the farmer
would sell him the timber rights he
could fell the hard wood and cut it up
into tirewood to sell to the neighboring
villages. The boy went home after a
tape measure, paper and pencil, and
then back to the woods Undertook
ing" Going about the woods, select
ing small areas, counting the hard
woods and measuring them, he got an
idea of the density of the forest. He
sat down on a stump, and by dint of
figuring he made a rough estimate of
the number of cords of firewood an
acre would yield. Then he went to
the owner to make a bargain. He
made an offer for all the timber,
agreeing to pay for it as money came
in from his sales of firewood.
Il haven't any money" the boy told
the farmer, but you can have my
threshing machine as security"
Go ahead, Johnny; your word is as
good as a government bond"
Gates as a Woodcutter.
All through the winter the lad was
out in the wood lot before daybreak,
working with a wo%odchopper he hired
to help him. The great trees were
felled, sawed into short lengths, and
split into firewood. Young Gates de-
livered two loads of wood a day by
sled to the neighboring villages. Be-
fore the snow was off the ground the
woods had been cleared, the owner
had been paid in full, and the boy had
81, 900 in the bank. He took this
money and opened a hardware shop
at the neighboring railway junction.
He sold the farmers their implements

New York.-John w. Gates, the
most picturesque plunger who ever
rose to fame and fortune in Wall
street, has leased a great hunting pre-
serve in France, and is winding up the
business of his House of Twelve
Partners" He is through with Wall
street, writes Frank Fayrant in the
Times. When a market operator Of
his prominence quits the speculative
game Immediately after a disastrous
panic in the market it is but natural
for the gossips of the street to say:
They've got him at last" Ever since
Gates began swinging big lines of
stock in bull markets and running
afoul of men of great power in Wall
street the denizens of the street have
shook their heads wisely and said:
They'll get him some day" During
the panicky days of March, when the
rumor mongers were telling of the
huge losses piling up against wealthy
operators, they were sure that the
House of Twelve Partners" was in
deep water. And now that the famous
house, that in big markets has carried
at times $125, 600, 900 worth of stock
on margin, is going out of business,
the rumor mongers are saying: 81
told you So"
But John w. only smiles and says:
81 wish they were all as comfortably
fixed as I am" His friends say that
he began trimming his sails last win
ter, when stocks were selling at sky
prices, and that when the storm broke
in March he had all his reefs in.
They say that he tactually bought
stocks during the panicky days of
March, and that banks were carrying
millions of dollars of free cash for
him when some very wealthy men
wer lying awake nights wondering
how they would make their bank bal
ances good the next day. His friends
think that he is worth at least $25, 000,-
600, and perhaps a good deal more.
So John W.. isn't exactly broke.
Barbed Wire the Beginning.
1t was in barbed wire that Gates be-
gan to build his fortune. Gates was
a poor farmers boy out west. His
first business venture was contracting
to husk a neighbours corn. From the
money he saved out of this work he
