SECURE DUST FOR THE HENS

SECURE DUST FOR THE HENS.
The dust-bath is the toilet Of the
hen. With it she cleans her body
and feathers, rids herself of vermin,
and delights IN the enjoyment It
affords. In winter, however, when
the ground is frozen hard, It some
times becomes a difficult matter TO
provide the hens with a dust-bath,
especially IL there are several fiocks.
Now is the time to lay in a supply
Of dirt for the purpose. The dirt
should be fine and we'll sifted, in
order that it may be more completely
adapted to the purpose intended.
Wood-ashes are unsuitable, owing
to the caustic properties of the pot
ash, which creates sores on the skin
should the weather be damp. Finely
sifted coal-ashes entirely free from
admixture with wood-ashes are ex-
cellent, but a full supply is not al
ways obtained.

FAILS TO LAND BONDS

A BRAHAM WHITE, the bold and

the citys entire new s4O,OOO.OOO issue

poration.
White, in behalf of his bond house,
the Abraham White Bond company,
offered to take the entire $4,000 900
of bonds at prices ranging from 1907
to 102.50, He deposited with his bid
a draft instead of a certified check.
The draft was for 100000 and was
drawn on the Greater New York Sc
curity company, a corporation of
which he is supposed to be the sole
active member. and which does not

and Belgium were in attendance. The
convention here is preparatory to the

Growers, Spinners and Manufacturers

rotary of Agriculture Wilson opened
the convention with an address in
which he said:

labor as the intelligence with which
the crop is grown. In growing rice
along the gulf coast of the southern
states it was found that one American
could produce as much rice in year
as 400 Orientals, so that our cotton
producers do not have to fear lower
wages in any part of the world

has been helping the cotton producers

bell was saved and now, strangely
enough, is employed to inform under
writer's that something has been heard
of one of those ships which by their

manner. 1t is only when an under

HIS city is becoming more and
more literary, and it's taste for lit
erature is steadily turning to the seri-
Gus books of science and history, to the
classics, and away from works of cur
rent fiction. The evidence of this
tendency is to be found in the returns
of the circulation department of the
New York public library, with its 40
odd branches scattered throughout
the city. Four years ago the number
of volumes given out by this depart
ment reached total of 1882, 725; this
year the number will approximate s.
100000, an increase that is unparal-
leled in the history of any library in
the world. During these four years II

volumes in so short a space of time.
