two of us should enlist in the
Union army and the third stay

cuts. The two long and one

Throw the house wide open for

February is the beginning of

Heat is needed in the poultry
house only when the ventilation

the air to absorb it. But it ismore
reasonably proper to ventilate

If there is any bad weather

The wise poultryman is the one
who has already prepared for

not only comfortable, but are

The best way to warm poultry
is by giving it something to

the floor and scatter grain in it.

Find Napoleon's Horse.

A straw-stuffed white morse which
mas been found in the cellars OF the
Louvre, turns out to be Napoleon's
famous charge Vizir, presented to
MIN by the Sultan Of Turkey. An
examination Of the records shows
that the horse died in 1926 on the
estate OF De C%haulaire, the Emper-
or's Equerry.
Napoleon's horse, which had been
stuffed, finally reached the Manches-
ter Natural History Society. At the
dissolution Of the society, in 1868,
the horse was forwarded to Napoleon
III. and was relegated to the cellars
OF the Louvre. It was forgotten dur
ing the critical period preceding the
downfall of the Second Empire.
