Not As II r lad.

A certain NJ. r.. as proud and fond
as a man should be of his beautiful
young wife, was just about rising to
speak in a debate when telegram was
put into his hands. He read 1t, left
the house, jumped into a cab, drove to
Charing Cross and took the train to
Dover. Next day he returned home,
rushed into his wife's bedroom and,
finding her there, upbraided the aston.
ished lady in no measured terms. She
protested her ignorance of having done
anything to offend him.
"Then what did you mean by your
telegram" he asked.
"Mean? What | said, Of course!
What are you talking about?"
"Read It for yourself" said he.
She read: 81 fee with Mr.. X. to Do
yer straight. Pray for me-"
For the moment words would not
come. Then, after merry fit of laugh
ter, the suspected wife quietly remark
cd:
"Oh, those dreadful telegraph people!
No wonder you are out OF your mind,
dear. / telegraphed simply: Il tea with
Mrs. Y. in Dover street. Stay for
me- '"-Pearson's.

a Coa Story.

A Columbus man who likes to hunt
quail, who is handy with the gun and
has fine bird dog whose work as Il
retriever Is remarkable loaned him to
u friend who was only an amateur at
the business. About the middle of the
forenoon of the first day the dog re-
turned to his masters home. The lat
ter, not knowing what had happened,
took his gun I'm the afternoon to try
the dog. He worked all right, and Il
number Of birds were secured. The
next day he met the friend who had
borrowed the dog. what is the mat
ter with that dog?' he asked. I'VE
got up covey of quail and shot ut
them, but missed. We afterward got
up number of the scattered birds
and took dozen shots or more, but
got nothing. and the dog put his tail
between his legs and struck across the
fields in the direction of his home"
1t is evident that the dog, disgusted
at the poor shooting, decided that the
men with the guns were not in his
class and decided TO cut 1t out.-Co-

Sheep That Paid Wei.

Some time ago an old sheep grove
OF Illinois. said in an address on
sheep: My sheep have gained from
start of feeding 10 finish, eight to ten
pounds OF mutton per bushel Of corn,
while the gain OF my cattle runs from
seven 10 eight pounds. And my hogs
eat corn while my sheep eat grass,
and only little corn to start lambs
and finish them. And I find from my
shipping bills for twenty-five years
that the average price received for
my stock in Chicago during that per-
iod has been s493 per 100 pounds
for sheep, S4S6 for steers and s4.S5
for hogs. And all were good animals.
These figures convince me that the
sheep are, in general, the most profit
able stock on the farm, especially on
thin and high lands. But keep none
but the best Of whatever breed you
have. They will pay when poor ones
lose. Sheep are easy to handle and
easy to retain in an Enclosure that
would not hold other stock, and are
the best weed destroyers on the farm.
Taking all things into consideration,
the sheep has much to commend it to
the farmer. Weekly Witness.

Demand For Milk Created.

A large portion OF the impurities
which find their way into milk are
brought to it at milking time. II the
cows are not cleaned or brushed Just
before milking, more or less loose
hair and dirt falls into the milk pail.
This can be entirely prevented by
brushing and then washing and dry
ing the COWS udder just before milk
ing. In diaries where sanitary milk
tho. does not sour for several days is
produced. the cows udder is always
washed and dried Immediately before
she is MIXED; the mixer then washes
his hands. puts on a white suit and
milks into q covered milk pail pro-
vided with only small opening in
the cover to milk into.
Careful work of this kind protects
the milk from many impurities and
1t increases the consumers desire
for more milk when he knows that
such precautions are taken against
impurities getting into the milk.
Many people undoubtedly would want
milk to drink if they felt a greater
confidence in the purity OF the milk
than they now have. Their knowl-
edge in a general way of the barn
conditions where many cows are
MIXED is not apt to increase their
desire for milk.-Weekly Witness.

Pointers on Hens.

From the time the chick is Matched.
correct feeding has much TO do with
it's development. 4 chick that is
stunted is more or less impaired in
vitality. Anything that has to do
with improper management OF the
intended layers affects the number
OF eggs they will be able to produce.
think hen can lay from 400 to
500 eggs at : profit. but her greatest
profit is returned from the time she
begins to lay until twelve months
have elapsed. The first years laying
is invariably the best.
Leghorns and Minorcas can be kept
until they are two and ore-half years
old with profit Quite a number of
poultry raisers have told me that they
thought hens would return almost az
much the second year as the first.
even il they did not lay quite so
many eggs. They eat far less in their
second year, being matured. A pull
let is always more voracious than a
hen. I do not think that they re-
turn as much profit in the second
year; however, l always keep my hens
until they are two years old.
Chicks intended for layers must be
well nourished from birth and never
allowed to stop growing until they
mature. 4 March or April Matched
pullet of the Leghorn breed will COM
mence 10 lay in October if she comes
from a precocious hcck. If she has
been Matched in June or July, do not
expect any eggs until January. In
cold climates this means no eggs,
practically. until spring. A pullet
that has not commenced to lay before
cold weather is usually hard to coax.
Early matches and continued good
care is the secret OF early layers and
hearty fowls.-Commercial Poultry.

and die. and this is more disccuTa sihs
than TO have them die when young.
as it is no small task TO raise the deli
cate fowls. ! few years ago we had
seven fine little turkeys that appar-
emily were perfectly healthy when
shut in one night. They were nearly
month old and we thought them ont
OF danger. but in the morning every
one was dead The coop stood on
clean plot o. grass and they were
not killed by any animal. SO we never
knew why they died.
Eight or ten years ago turkeys
could be bought for nine and ten
cents a pound in the market here.
and poultry wagons came in loaded
with them al Thanksgiving and
Christmas time from all directions.
The turkeys that then brought from
| one dollar and a half TO two dollars
are now worth from three TO FIVE and
| very scarce AZ that. In looking over
advertisements for turkey eggs in
poultry journals the prices run from
thirty to fifty cents for a single egg.
and this may be one reason why so
few are raised Margaret Whitney.

Passing OF enc Tnrker-

OF late years turkeys have been al
most minus quantity in this part of
Ohio. While driving through the
country fiocks of turkeys might be
Peen on every farm not so many years
ago, but now the bird has almost en-
tirely disappeared. Wild turkeys
were once very numerous here and
quite hardy, but it seems they cannot
bear domestication and are heirs to
many diseases. Black head, cholera.
rheumatism, bowel trouble and many
other diseases have made turkey rails
ing precarious business. Some
would-be turkey raisers make the
mistake Of selling the old turkey
hens. These should be kept, for the
older they are, the more sense they
have. Old turkey hens may be kept
for ten years.
If healthy birds can be obtained
the owner may reasonably expect fair
returns for the time and money ex-
pended, but many of the birds are un-
healthy, and If they or their eggs
are bought the little turkeys are
weak and diseased from birth. Some
times the flock is all right till half
grown when one by one they droop
