Pullman Cars to Be "Drv,"

1t is reported that an order is being
sent out from the Offices of the Pull
man headquarters in Chicago to dis
continue the sale of liquor ON cars of
that company in every part of the Unit
ed States, the, order to go into effect as
soon as the liquors now on hand can
be disposed of without loss. 1t is ex-
pected to begin in the east and to worl,
westward and the order may become
operative in New England and the mid
die states about March l. 1t is under
stood that the company is moved to
take this step because of 81 direct ef-
feet that anti-saloon laws in the several
states have haG upon its business. Not
only have the changed conditions of
the last twelve months cut deeply into
the profits formerly derived from this
source, but on long runs liquor can be
sold for only portions of the distance.
and the company is constantly in dan
ger of prosecution for lawbreaking
through carelessness of employees.

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

The gasoline engine is becoming a
feature in the poultry work We grind
our own shell, bone, cracked corn,
wheat, charcoal, pump water, etc, with
two and a half horsepower station
ary.
Since we grind our own feed the
mortality has been very small, and the
time and strength given to hand ma
chinery are put on something else.
Take $50 and do likewise.
The bulldog is the proper policeman
for poultry plant. Our dog sleeps
right in with the chickens and runs
through the 10 foot scratching shed at
night. He is gentle in the home, but
at night recognizes no friends except
the members of the family. He's n
bully burglar alarm.
A properly fed cat will not touch
little chicks. 1t is q mistake to exclude
them. If cat has Il reasonable
amount of meat, he will not make
trouble. We hatch thousands of young
chickens. and our big tiger cat goes
through the brooders and even lies
down and let's the peeps crawl under
his legs and run over him, but never
even steps on them. He and the bull
dog chase all other tomcats from the
place, and even the sparrows don't
bother US.
1t is time for you to make out that
order for fruit trees. We have plant
ed over 100 young trees and expect in
a few years to have them pay our feed
bills. The Bartlett pear, the Burbank
plum, the Baldwin and Smokehouse ap-
pies are the money makers.
When you ship eggs for Matching,
do not pack them in buckwheat hulls.
They are poor protection and too
heavy. Let excelsior be your motto.
When a man has a beautiful farm,
splendid buildings and a flock of mon
grel chickens, the pictures spoiled.
That's not thoroughbred.
Yes, you may have your idea of this
or that and every other fellow has
the same right. However, don't act
the mule. You may be Juggling round
a fragment of an idea that was ex-
ploded thousand years ago

"I've been very much coward" !"
said Ackroyd. "I was afraid you'd
laugh. That is why I've been silent so
long"

manner was pleadingly earnest. Dru-

added bitterly.
Drusilla turned to the piano. She
ran her fingers over the keys In soft
little minor harmonies. Ackroyd wait
ed impatiently; then he strode to the
piano and bent over her. Something
glistened on her lashes, and there was
a shining streak down either cheek.
"Good heavens!" cried Ackroyd in
sudden comprehension. He laughed
happily.
"It-it-isn't funny. I-I-d-don't feel
bit like Laughing" confessed Dru-
silla.
And Ackroyd was thereupon relieved
from any fears of "the outer dark
ness"

THE WORLD DRYING UP.
Possibility That the HurAan Race Will
Die of Thirst.

We are to die of thirst Compare
lively few persons know the suffering
involved in n thirst for which there is
no help at hand. The consuming thirst
more than the pain of any wound
makes the battlefield hell. Yet death
by thirst is the doom forecast for the
race by grim scientists. Biologists
find that the fresh water supply of the
globe Is failing. They have data which
point to the gradual withdrawal of the
streams and other bodies of water
from the surface. Both in Africa and
central Asia and, indeed, in all the
great levels the water beds are drying
up. \ great number of lakes well
known in the historical age have en-
tirely disappeared. For example, Lake
Chiroua, in Africa has vanished with
in recent years, as has also Lake
Ngamj discovered by Livingstone.
Lake Tchad is more than half dried
up. For centuries bodies of water in
central Asia have been evapOrating
and the deserts extending. Where
1000 years ago great cities stood in
east Turkestan there are found only
vast and depressing stretches of sand.
The river Tarim, once principal Ash
attic route, is almost gone, and Lob
Nor, formerly four times the area of
Lake Geneva, is now but a shallow
marsh. The same sad conditions are
noted in European Russia. Novgorod,
the most pushing city in the cars dis
tracted realm, was surrounded by wa

be sure that the fate which the geolo-
gists suggest for humanity is very far
away, the facts recited to show the
drying up process are convincing proofs
of the need of preserving our forests
with more care. - St Paul Pioneer

Sne Venture In Which the Captain
Overreached Himse.'
One of Uncle Sans customs officials,
noted for his success in unmasking
smuggers, said the other day in a dis
cusSion of customs officers duties:
"One must be shrewd, but not too
shrewd; otherwise one overreaches
oneself, like Captain Harrow of Isles
borough.
Captain Harrow of Islesborough
was trading at Key West in a small
vessel. Business took him up the coast
to Tampa bay, and he bought twenty
dozen chickens from q farmer at 81 a
dozen.
"The chickens were all sizes-some a
few days old and no bigger than ca
nary birds; some fat and large, like
turkey gobblers. The captain expect
ed to make a lot of money out of
them. He was very shrewd at a trade
"Well, at Key West a hotel man
came aboard and looked the chickens
over.
They are fine BIRDS, he said. How
much?
"1f you pick them out yourself
said Captain Harrow shrewdly, I'll
have to charge you sc n dozen. If
pick them out, can let you have them
for $3.'
"'All right You pick them out said
the hotel man.
Captain Harrow picked out a dozen
chickens of the canary bird size.
Here you are, twelve prime broil-
ers,' he said, with a leer.

on picking them OUT
"And the third dozen was larger still.
The captain looked at his patron anx-
iously.
Keep right on
'The next dozen was fine and plump,
and the next comprised the biggest
and fattest of the chickens.
Keep right on picking them out,
captain
"Then at last Captain Harrow saw
how he had overreached himself. The
hotel man bought his whole lot of
chickens at So, and thus the captain
lost on the speculation $40 In cash, to
say nothing Of feed and labor."-Cin-

ALTERNATING MALES.

1t is the style with some to decorate
their pens with two males. One rests
n day, while the other rules the harem.
This is splendid plan If the birds are
brothers and well matched. A friend
was stunned by what he hatched by
using two Single Comb Brown Leg
horn cocks of different strains. One
batch was perfect in plumage, shape
and comb, but had green legs, while
another batch had black speckled
piumage, flop combs and yellow legs.
Our friend was mad and sad.

DON'TS.

Don't be such a goose as to put
louise powder on geese and ducks
They are vermin as well as water
proof.
Don't dust your chickens till o'clock.
1t will not stop the laying, and they
will carry the louise powder to bed and
stop the mites
Don't get crazy on the broiler bust
ness. If you are anxious to burn your
fingers to see how it feels, we have no
objections.
Don't think you are the only one that
has bad luck. If you will just grit
your teeth, exercise your think ma
chine and shove ahead you'll not have
to hire a newspaper to puff you.
Don't get too smart and run your in
cubator on original lines. OF course
you never set hen on her back-not
that big fool yet. Then don't reverse
your incubator rules.
Don't get scared If those eggs don't
hatch right ON the exact second. If
weather is mild and the hen is faithful,
the peeps may be all out the nineteenth
day. If the hen is nervous and the
weather is rough, hatch is sometimes
delayed to the end of the twenty
second.
Don't tell your chicken troubles ON
the street corner, Mr.. Told U So may
be present. When you're glum keep
mum.
Don't say 81 have the best in the

Don't 'eggsaggerate" in your adver-
tisement. Tell the truth and shame

Don't forget that fair and square
deal is what puts any business man on
the pinnacle of prosperity.
Don't ride n hobby till you're sure it's
not hobbyhorse. Go slow ON chicken
fads.
Don't get discontented with your
chickens every time you read that other

Aristocracy.

What subsists today by violence
continues tomorrow by acquiescence
and is perpetuated by tradition till at
last the hoary abuse shakes the gray
hairs of antiquity at us and gives itself
out as the wisdom Of ages. Thus the
clearest dictates of reason are made
to yield to long succession of follies.
