A CARDINALS IDIosYNCRAc1Es.

Everybody has his idosyncracies, and the higher
the rank OF the man the more conspicuous do these
fsds become. The weakness in this respect OF the
late Cardinal Prince Hohenlohe the firm
viction which he entertained that his life was
threatened by the Jesults He was imbued with
the belief that they bent upon poisoning him
On account Of his advocacy OF reconciliation Of
Church and State in Italv and his intimacy with
Prime Minister Crispi. He proclaimed these fears
FAR and wide and consequently the publication
thereof by Primo Levi, VINO was private secretary
of Crisp in the closing years OF his life and after
his retirement from Office, hardly be regarded
in the light OF a revelation
Cardinal HohenIohe, although in other respects
most witty and shrewd man Of the world,
foolishly apprehenslve Of poison that when at
Rome else the villa d'Este ne lived almost
entirely on boiled eggs and German zwieback. In
fact though fond OF good cheer, he subjected him
self 10 all sorts Of privations, with the object OF
protecting himself from being poisoned by the
Tesuits. II is hardly necessary TO add that this
icosyncracy, which was matter Of general Tdi-
cute only ROM. but also Berlin and
Vienna entirely without rhyme reason. For
even accepting the hypothesis that the Jesuis
wiling to poison TO remove from the
any adversary Of their policy Il is difficult to
what they could have gained by putting Cardinal
Prince Gustave Hohenlohe out Of the way. For
he possessed influence whatsoever at the Vat
lean where he was thoroughly distrusted by Leo
Kill This known at Berlin. with the result
hat his recommendations carried no weight in
church matters. Moreover, II was a distinct ad-
vantage. rather than drawback, only to the
Vatican but also TO the Jesuits themselves. 70 have
q member Of the Sacred College on terms Of such
-lose and intimate friendship with Prime Minister
Crisp Cardinal Hohenohe For Crspi was
often able communicate indirectly through the
Cardinal his intentions the Vatican which could
not have been notified to the latter in any other
way.

Blanchard on the Incubator for Hotchine

has not, in the least, suffered
from the changing from the
old way to the new in con-
Quoting 1t. We therefore do
not hesitate to recommend the
use Of the incubator and
brooder in Matching chicks,
when one desires to raise 100
or more. For those who raise
only a few the broody hen is
good enough and cannot be
improved upon.
AS to the best incubator the
writer can only say that of
the many makes Of these ma
chimes he has only tried two
kinds-Cyphers and Prairie
State. We feel that both are
good average machines. None
Of the machines yet introduce
ed are perfect by any means.
but such as they are the pro-
portions to which the poultry
businss has already attained
throughout the country makes
the machines with their slight
imperfedtions Indispensable to
the business.
AS to breeds, the writer has
tried several, and from our
experience and observation we
unhesitatingly recommend the
Plymouth Rocks for an all
around fowl as being unsur-
passed by any breed. From
the beginning we have had
the Barred Rocks and the
Brown Leghorns, and attrib-
ute our success with poultry
to these two breeds and to
our knowledge of handling
them as detailed in our poul-
try book, more than to any
thing else. However, the
Black Minorcas are a beauti-
full fowl and lay the largest
and handsomest white egg of
any breed. They are also
good layers. the only objec-
ton to the breed lying in the
line of market poultry. But
such objection is largely over
come by the superiority Of the
eggs they produce, in general
appearance over those of any
other breed.

CONTROLLING THE QUALITY.

Fish, decaying food and certain green
materials have been known to injure
the flavor of poultry and eggs. The
question comes up whether 1t is not
possible, therefore, to improve the
flavor of flesh Of fowls by the use of
selected foods. There is room for ex-
pertinent in that direction Fowls that
are allowed no forage may be the best
layers, which is not disputed, but they
produce chicks that differ greatly, COM
pared to the ones that have a yard
to themselves and are fed on the
choicest of foods. It is known, In some
Instances, that cows which are fed
differently give milk of varied charac-
ter, and the wild birds have a strong
flavor especially those that live on
fish. Turkeys are sometimes fed on
certain kinds of foods to flavor them,
as 1t is said, but more because 1t Is the
custom. There can be no doubt that
the nature of food fed to fowls has
something to do with the meat Of the
same-that the taste Is greatly modi-
fed by better favored food. Fowls
should never be allowed to eat UNI
wholesome food, or to scratch in tho
manure pile, If the birds are to be i'm
