TEN IMPORTANT POINTS.
Every Poultryman Should be Certain
That All Are Looked After.

Every Poultryman Should be Certain
That All Are Looked After.
There are some mistakes which even
the most experienced poultry keepers
are prone to make, and they arise fire.
Quently not so much from ignorance
as from forgetfulness or force of cir
cumstances, says A. V. Meersch i'll
Western Poultry Journal. Neverthe-
less, as all mistakes in poultry keeping
are apt to prove costly, it Is no bad
plan for the poultry keeper to put peri
odically the following questions to
himself: "a Am | overcrOwding my
fowls In any way? CO Are my fowls
receiving any unsuitable articles of
diet? 81 In my anxiety for eggs am
forcing egg production to the possible
detriment of my breeding operations
next spring? IL Am 1 breeding from
the pick of my stock only, taking care
that no hereditary faint of disease is
being transmitted? o. Is my poultry

DEACON BRODIE.
He Was the Original of Steveneon's
Or, JekyII and MIR. Hyde.


Or. JekyII and MIR. Hyde.
Deacon Erode, whose singular story
is said to have inspired Stevenson with
the immortal tale of DR.. Jekyn and
Mr.. Hyde, was a substantial wright
and cabinet maker in the Lawnmarket
Of Edinburgh. He was burgess and
guild brother of his native town, and
SO high did he stand in the estimation
of his fellow craftsmen that for four
years they elected him member or
the town council as deacon of the IN
CORPORATION of wrights. Success In
public life helped the deacon In his
business as n wright. and few men ap-
peared to have less ground to quarrel
with the conventional conception of
meum and tuum. Nevertheless the
deacon was always In want of money.
He was an inveterate galneSter, gay
and much involved bachelor, and he
had q passion for the fashionable sport
of cockfighting. All this brought the
respected burgess into bad company,
particularly at a certain diSrcnutable
tavern In the Fleshmarket close, fire.

he was an honest craftsman, but at

con was q humorlst, and the situation
doubtless appealed to him. The friend
he had robbed overnight he would con-
dole with III the morning, and after
some particularly ingenious burglary
he would be the first In the council
chamber to suggest offering reward
for discovering the perpetrator. For
twenty years this prince Of craftsmen
remained unsupported, and he was
only brought to book at last by the
treachery of confederate. The dea-
con was sentenced to be hanged-on
the new drop gallows he had suggest
ed himself to the city fathers-and
hanged he was, though not without
characteristic attempt to cheat the gal
lows. A French quack, DR.. Peter Del
gravers, so the story goes, came to him
in prison and undertook to restore him
to life after he had hanged the usual
time. TO the last his fellow citizens
loved to cherish a belief that he had
been resuscitated and had escaped

Duck Wisdom.

Good weather for young ducks is
an old saying applied to wet days
There is not one bit Of truth In it.
Nothing can be worse for them than a
rainy day. The silly things will stand
with open mouths gazing upward until
they drown.
During a rainy period they should be
confined in a dry, roomy coop. Be sure
that they have plenty of dry chaff to
nestle down in during the night.
Crowding them In damp quarters
will cause rheumatic and other trou'
bles.
1t is very satisfactory to rear ducks
in a pen provided 1t is large enough.
Ii many are crowded together In q
small place they are sure to become
stunted III their growth.
1t is not wise to allow the ducklings
with other young poultry. The duck
lings will gobble up most of the feed
pollute the drinking water and make
themselves anything but a pleasure to
have around.

FEEDING Green Bone to Chicks.

There Is no especial method of feed

bone before them, and they'll do the
rest. When they are In houses. spread
the cut bone along feed troughs. When
the birds are on clean grass runs. SOW

Acorns as Poultry Food.

Acorns are not a valuable foodstuff
for poultry, because they are deficient
in flesh forming elements, besides
which they contain tanno, which hard
ems muscular tissues and to a certain
extent impairs the flavor of flesh and
eggs-that Is, when poultry have many
acorns. Fowls will rarely devour whole
acorns Therefore to induce the birds
to devour them 1t is necessary to kib-
bic them or to grind and add them In
limited quantities to the soft food.

labor members of parliament Not
only does the act provide for the pay.
mcnt of indemnity to mechanics and
iaborcrs in cases OF damage by acci.

Included in the protected classes.
According to the last census there
are l,6ii. .i54 female domestic servants
In Great Britain. The new legal re.
sponsibilities o. mistresses and other
employers of these servants may be
summarized as follows:
In the event of death resulting from
an accident the liability of the en-
ployer Is the payment of three years
wages and an allowance for board. the
total sum not to exceed $3.50. For
temporary disablement. one-half the
wages and an allowance for board
must he paid during the period of In.
capacity. In the event of permanent
lisablement the provision Is the same
rs In the case OF temporary disable.
ment, even though the person disabled
may be incapacitated from work for
a lifetime OF many years.
The accident insurance companies
are adjusting their premium rates on
domestic servants to meet the oondl,
tions. Another adjustment due to the
passage OF the act Will be the collcc.
tion OF the insurance premiums from
employers instead OF from servants.
The premium per employe per an.
mum In the domestic class will prob.
ably be $l.20, although doubtless re.
ductions will be given by some com.
panles apportloned In accordance with
