SHOOTS HIMSELF INSTEAD
OF SERENADING CATs. >

Tallahassee. Fla, Aug. s.-(SpeciaD
Getting up at midnight to break, up
a cat serenade." Paul H. Carswell
prescription clerk of Hardee- Smith
Drug Company. stumbled in the dark
and accidentally shot himself through
the hand with the pistol which he had
hoped would extinguish one of the nine
lives of his serenader.
Mr.. Carswell states that he was
awakened between the hours of ~
and 1 o'clock by cats frolicking In the
moonlight and incidentally serenad-
ing with the discord of a German Band
that would have done justice to an In
dian war dance. Not being able to
sleep to the strains of such instru-
ments. he got up and with his pistol
began to find his way to the nearest
window; but stumbled, shooting him
self through the left hand, tearing his
middle finger nearly off: but the re-
port OF the pistol frightened the cats
away.
He received medical attention at
once. and 1t is thought that he will
not lose his finger although 1t will be
OF little use to him should 1t be saved.

SCHEME FOR POULTRY HOUSE
Best Arrangement Is Tight Building
Adjoining Open One for Day
and Night Use.

One of the greatest expenses that
any poulterer has is the buildings he
requires. Most of us think it neces-
sary to keep poultry in buildings, but
unquestionably part of these build
ings may be open and inexpensive,
and yet affording protection from
wind, snow and rain, writes HOLSTER
Sage in Farmers Voice. The best
arrangement is tight building
adjoining an open one, the former for
night occupancy and laying, where
the fowls may be shut in if the
weather be extreme. This need be
only one-third the size of the open
shed, but must join it, so the hens
need not go out in the wind and
snow The floor of this shed must be
made of matched stuff so that no
wind can come up through it, and
should be covered six inches deep with
litter. Into this the whole grain is

Scratching Shed Shade.

thrown, that the fowls may have the
needed exercise. The amount of cold
that hens will endure and continue to
lay if kept busy exceeds belief.
The roof, of course, must be tight,
as no moisture must be allowed In the
litter The roof should be long one
to the north, with a short one sloping
ssouth. Under the caves of the
southern roof is nailed sheet the
entire length and wide enough to
cover the open front. This is made
of burlap or old bran sacks, and in
a loop at the bottom rests a light
pole to keep it down so the wind and
snow may be excluded at night. AS
soon as the sun is up in the morning
it is rooled up and tied to ropes under
the caves. In spring and summer
these scratching sheds are not re-
CURED and are employed in raising
large focks Of chickens.
1t is best to begin by setting a
brooder in one corner of each, in
which to raise IS or 100 incubator
chicks, and this net-faced house is
their home. with yard attached
until cold weather, when they are
changed to flocks for layers or fatten-
ing. The scratching sheds are then
in requisition again. 1t is not difficult
to build them in sections that may be
taken apart and moved readily from
one part of the grounds to another
| The heaviest section is the floor, but
this is managed easily on two wheel
| barrows.

TELLING AGE OF CHICKENS
Generally the Spurs Of Both Hens and
Cocks Will Distinguish Two
Year-Old Bird.

English authorities hold that there
is no certain test of age in fowls. But
they admit that in general the spurs
both of hens and Cocks will distin-
guish a two-year-old bird.
There are exceptions, however, in
which really young birds develop old
looking spurs, while really second-year
birds preserve the short, rounded
spurs of a cockerel.
The texture of the legs is a guide,
to some extent, and so are the deli
cacy and freshness of the skin of the
face and comb, but Still an occasional
lien will preserve her youthful appear
ance to startling degree.
The skin of the body is better test,
as it becomes coarser and dryer-look-
ing with age.
Formerly the wing feathers were
pullet and hen even after the
long practice of early breeding had
made the melting of early pullets quite
common.
An Austrian authority says that a
pullet will show rose-colored veins on
the surface of the skin, under the
wings.
There will also be long, silky hairs
growing there. After year old these
hairs disappear, as also do the veins,
and the skin grows white and vein
less.
1t is more difficult to judge the age
Of water fowl than of other poultry,
partly from, the absence of spurs, part
ly from greater longevity and partly
because the water keeps their legs soft
and fresh.
4 Ducks waddle more heavily as they
GROW older, and after two or three
years they acquire depression down
the breast.
An abdominal pouch of considerable
size indicates great age in geese.
Turkeys up to year old are said to
have black feet, which grow pink up
10 three years of age, when they
q gradually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons Is often told by the
color of the breast. In squads the
flesh looks whitish as seen through
i HE skin, h.. becomes more and more
purplish as the. bird grows older.

For Revolt.

For Revolt.
Washington, March 30. - Advices
from Antwerp, Belgium, say the re.
ports received here that Cipriano Cas-
tro had chartered a vessel in Antwerp
for revolutionary purposes in West In
dian waters, led to diligent search in
an effort to locate the vessel, but in
Nestigation has failed to reveal any
evidence of such charter.
Two considerations will determine
the attitude of the United States gov
ernment toward Cipriano Castro, for
mer president of Venezuela, who is
now on the high seas en- route for
Trinidad. They are: "Does Castro
intend to make a fight to regain the
presidency" and "Can he control the
necessary funds to start revolution?'
In case the state department believes
Castro does mean to fight and has the
funds at his command every effort
will be made to check him in his en-
terprise, although officials do not see
how the United States government can
consistently interfere in the internal
affairs of Venezuela.
