To Fatten Fowls.

Shut the fowls up in a darkened
place with just enough light for them
to see to eat, and feed on cornmeal,
ground oats, cracked wheat and shorts,
which may be mixed in equal proper
tions and scalded. Feed as often dur
ing the day as they will eat up the
food clean. That is to say, stuff them.
Take light and feed again just be-
fore your bedtime, and as early In the
morning as possible. Supply them
with grit and water and keep the
premises clean. Half dozen fowls to-
gether will fatten more quickly than a
large number, as they will not pine for
company. Cooked potatoes, rice, corn
bread, cracked corn and whole wheat
may also be fed. Give no green stuffs,
as it is too filling and will do no good.
Fowls crowded this way should be in
fine condition In two weeks Shut up
longer, they are likely to begin to NOPE
and will go back rather than increase
in weight.-Rural World.

small voice tells him at times OF the
panic In which he fed from that thea
ter, and he knows, though he tries to
fight the knowledge, that should sim
liar circumstances occur and should his
wife wish to take advantage of his

so by keeping tight hand on his shoul-

Nntriment In MIX.

Bulletin No. 81 from the Storrs Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, Con-
necticut, is a most excellent one on the
origin or sources of those small or
ganisms called bacteria, which are
found so abundantly in milk. The
bulletin also contains some rather
startling statements and some whole
some suggestions
Among the statements which ought
to make the average man sit up and
think are the following:
"A quart of milk at Sc is equivalent
in food value to a pound of beef at lSc.
This means that 4c worth of milk gives
as much food energy in the body as &c
worth of beef.
''The average individual consumes
three or four times as much meat In
day as the body actually needs for re-
pair, and for its highest physical con-
dition.
"If the American people would eat
one-half less meat and consume one
half more milk, they would save about
$150,000,00O in money and in health,
enough to make the doctors bills look
small"

Harriet HOsmer's Delight When She
First Finds Modelling Clay.

Harriet HOsmer's Delight When She
First Finds Modelling Clay.
An old school friend Of the late Har
riet Hosmer, the sculptress, has recent
ly related some interesting anecdotes
Of her childhood. Her first modelling
1t appears, came about through a blue
berrylng expedition. Hattie" as she
was always called, had gone to the ber.
ry pastures with her foster brother
Alfred.
"They had tramped farther thai
usual, when all Of a sudden Hattie
stumbled upon big clay bank. 1t was
Just as If she'd been looking for 1t all
her life. Out went all the berries from
her nearly full pail, and into the pail
went big double handfuls Of the soft
clay.
"Then she fairly rushed home, sat
down on the back doorstep, and there
modelled her first figure, a representa-
tion Of the little, shaggy yellow dog
who was at that time her chiefest
treasure, After that she never forgot
the clay bank.
"Why, when she was at boarding
school with the rest of us she made
casts Of all our hands, and they were
beautiful. She did one Of Mrs. Sedg-
wick's, know-she was our head mis-.
tress-and remember that Mrs. Sedg-
wick said 1t was truly exquisite and
wound it all over with the soft, smooth
silver paper she used for her finest
laces"
In day when the athletic, outdoor
girl was vet unknown, Harriet Hosmer,
against all convention, at the impera-
tive call Of free nature, rode, swan,
padded, hunted, fished, climbed, tramp
ed, and studied nature-to the horror
and dismay of the excellent housewives
of her town.
"Vou should have seen her collec
tions," said her old friend. "She had
bugs and beetles, squirrels, rabbits and
bids, and even an old fat woodchuck
that she had shot and wounded herself.
We girls could never see how she could
do 1.-THE things are $3.50 smelly

shivering In her evening dress, but too
hysterical with grief and fear to notice
the cod.
"Oh, thank you!" she cried; "thank
you l should never have got through
but for you"
Mr.. Nash stared at her a moment,
unable to realize the extent Of his good
fortune. He had fed in panic and had
earned the reputation Of hero.

he querled.
She pointed horror-struck to the blaz-
ing theater.
"Oh, go back for him !" she cried.

Mr.. Nash's herolsm received a nasty
shock. He looked about him desper-
ately, But orHe again fortune be-

though much singed and blackened,
coming toward him.

the newcomer with emotion.
"Yes, yes!" she cried. ''Thank hea-
ven! And thank this gentleman, too.
He saved me. He got me out Of the

Nash warmly.

Risk in Drenched Cattle.


Doctor David Roberts, State Veteri-
marian of Wisconsin, gives this advice !:
Perhaps the best way of demonstrating
the danger of drencbing cattle is to ad-
wise the reader to throw back his head
as far as possible and attempt to swal-
low. This you will find to be a diff
cult task, and you will find 1t more
difficult and almost impossible to swal-
low with the mouth open. 1t is for
this reason that drenching cattle is a
dangerous practice. However, If cows
head be raised as high as possible and
her mouth kept open by the drenching
bottle or horn, a portion of the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windpipe
Into the lungs, sometimes causing In
slant death by smothering, at other
times causing death TO follow in few
days from congestion or Inflammation
of the lungs. Give all cattle their
medicine hypodermically or in feed. if
they refuse feed give it dry on the
tongue. The proper method of giving
COW medicine is to stand ON the right
side of the COW, placing the left arm
around the nose and at the same time
opening her mouth, and with spoon in
the right hand place the medicine,
which should be in a powdered form,
back on the tongue; she can then swal-
low with safety.

Pearson, a name which Mr.. Nash knew
well as associated with one of the bic
industries of the city. He introduced
also his sister Lucy, and Mr. Nash re.
sponded by giving his name and men.
tloning modestly the fact that he was
solicitor, They dropped him at his
rooms with further thanks, an address,
and warm invitation to call upon the
following day.
The Pearsons lived In large house
IN the fashionable quarter of the town.
On presenting himself at the door, Mr..
Nash was ushered into the drawing
room, which was filed with people, ali
talking excitedly. 1t was Mrs. Pear
sons at-home day, and the tragedy of
the previous evening had formed an alb
sorbing subject of conversation. He be-
came the center of attraction. Mr..
Pearson, stout man with gray beard
and honest eyes, came forward and
shook him warmly by the hand. Mrs.
Pearson was voluble and enthusiastic.
Lucy, looking pale from the effects of
the shock, smiled wanly and made him
sit beside her. Her brother recounted
his exploit. All the guests poured
questions upon him and were eager In
their praises. In the midst of this adu-
lation Mr. Nash did his best to bear
himself with becoming modesty. In a
pause In the buzz of praise, he smiled
and spoke,
I'm really very much obliged to you
ALL" he said; II don't deserve half the
kind things you have said about me.
All that was needed was little pres
ence of mind"
Mr.. Nash became frequent ami well
come visitor at the Pearson's house.
He came to be looked upon as a close
friend of the family; and when the day
came when he asked her to marry him.

To Tell the Ages of Swine.

1t may be interesting to those who
do not already know 1t, to learn of
some way to arrive at the age of pigs,
SO we give the following:
Pigs having their corner permanent
lncisors cut will be considered as ex-
ceeding six months. Pigs having their
permanent tusks more than half up
will be considered as exceeding nine
months. Pigs having their central per
manent incisors up and any of the first
three permanent molars cut will be
considered as exceeding twelve months.
Pigs having their lateral temporary
incisors shed and the permanent ap-
pearing will be considered as exceeding
fifteen months. Pigs having their lat
eral permanent incisors fully up will
be considered as exceeding eighteen
months.

Crops worth $1,250 an acre are not

seas,
And stole tho robins vesper from our eve.

crowned,

And vines are running fire along the

Her nervous organization is well de-
yeloped, though, and is easily disturbed,
but If she is well supplied with milk

will turn out good product and plenty
of it, provided, Of course, she is built
on the right lines. A poor machine of

Presence OF Mind
oNN~N>N~~~~~

The curtain had fallen upon the frs
act, and Thomas Nash, whose atten
tion had been divided between the
stage and the girl who sat next t
him, was able to devote all his atten'
ton to the latter. That, be 1t under
stood, as far as he dared; for she was
a complete stranger to him. He could
not speak to her, but was forced to
content himself with little surreptitious
glances aside, each of which gave him
some further detail of her profile; her
blue eyes, her slightly retrousse nose,
her arched lips, and the whiteness Of
her neck and shoulders. There was a
man with her, man with brown
mustache, which Mr.. Nash character
ICED unjustly as scrubby. But for the
girl herself, he had nothing but appre-
citation.
The orchestra was about to conf
mence the entracte, when a man In
evening dress stepped before the foot
lights and spoke to the audience in a
voice which cracked a little In his ef-
fort to suppress anxiety,

all leave the theater at once and quiet
ly. There Is no danger, but you must
leave at once" He motioned to the
leader of the orchestra to play.
Everywhere men and women stood
up, quick anxiety in their faces, vague
Questionings In their eyes. In that mo-
ment Mr.. Nash looked at his neighbor,
and she did not hesitate to speak to
him.

And then the curtain bulged forward,
a vast sheet of fame swept from It's
under edge, and the man before the
footlights threw up his arms and fell
writhing before that scorchIng blast.
Mr.. Nash forgot his heroism, forgot
the girl, forgot everything save the

who had fallen, he forced his way
through, until at length he met the
cool rush of air that was streaming in
from the night outside, and found him
self safe in the crowd on the opposite
