GIVE CHARCOAL TO POULTRY
One OF the Best Stomach correctives
That Can Be Found and Is a
Necessity for Chickens.

Charcoal is one of the best stom.
ach ~correctives that can be given to
man or beast and is a necessity for
healthful chicken raising. When soft
feed in the way of mashes are fed to
the fowls, charcoal is very essential,
Tor 1t corrects any tendency of the
o to sour and greatly assists the
process of digestion. 1t has been prov
en- that all poultry will grow and fat
ten faster and the meat will be more
delicious in flavor when charcoal is
fed to them regularly; in fact. in all
h large fattening plants charcoal is
regularly fed to all the fowls in the
fattening coops. Charcoal can be pur-
chased at any poultry supply house,
but can easily be manufactured at
home. If you burn wood in your
stove, there will be plenty of charcoal
In the ashes to feed a large flock of
fowls, If you don't burn wood, take
some corn cobs and put in the oven
till they are thoroughly charred. Corn
and cobs may also be partly charred
at times n fed to the hens with
profit.

Opportunity of Suffraqist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in n
of the magazines how the m Of
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that of 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing 1t. Not until
England and the United States find
the ONE helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

A Shippinu Error,

The young duchess of Westminster,
wife of the richest peer in England.
recently gave birth to her third child,
a daughter. Thus there is no heir to
the immense G%rosvenor fortune, Earl
Grosvenor, the duchess second child,
having died at the age of four.
Apropos of all this, a rather cruel
story is being told in Newport about
Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight
year-old daughter of the young Ouch
ess.
A friend, the story goes, called at
Eaton Hall, and as she sat in the
d~rawing-room, little Lady Ursula en-
tered.

The Farm Poultry

With the common knowledge of the
earning OF the farm f1ocks have come
a desire to keep more fowls and make
their keeping a special department of
the farm operations.
On most farms it will prove better
and more economical to allow the
poultry free range during favorable
weather and fence off the lawn and
garden.
The gains made by chickens during
the summer are rapid and poultrymen
are fast beginning to realize that if
they have large healthy birds they
must have abundant range during the
period when they are growing and de-
veloping.

Purifying the Yards,

frequent rains and excessive heat
will cause the yards to be in a very
unhealthy condition, unless the sur
face soil is spaded or turned under in
some manner, especially on heavy
clay locations. If spading is too Ia
borious, then the yards may be bene-
fitted by sprinkling them with a solu-
ton OF copperas or blue-stone, dissolv-
ing one pound of the mineral in two
gallons of water and sprinkling
through the nose of an ordinary water
ing pot. A few spoonfuls of carbolic
acid in the solution will also be of an
advantage.

An Esg-Nog and a Telegram.

All E90-TNOQ n a IGteQFdms
We had discoVered Louise at the
lodge Tuesday night. 1t was Wednes-
day l had my interview with her.
Thursday and Friday were uneventful,
save as they marked Improvement in
our patient. Gertrude spent almost
all the time with her, and the two had
grown to be great friends. But GER
tain things hung over me constantly;
the %coroner's inquest on the death of
Arnold Armstrong, to be held Satur-
day, and the arrival of Mrs. Arm
strong and young DR.. Walker, bring
ing the body of the dead president of
the Traders bank. We had not told
Louise of either death.
Then, too, / was anxious about the
children. With their mothers inheri-
lance swept away in the wreck of the
bank, and with their love affairs in a
disastrous condition, things could
scarcely be worse. Added to that, the
cook and Liddy had a flare up over the
proper way to make beef-tea for
Louise, and, of course, the cook left.
Mrs. Watson had been glad enough.
l think, to turn Louise over to our
care, and Thomas went upstairs night
and morning to greet his young mis-
tress from the doorway. Poor
Thomas! He had the faculty-found
still in some old negroes, who cling to
the traditions of slavery days-of
making his employers interest his. It
was always Eve" with Thomas. I
miss him sorely; pipe-smoking, obse-
quious, not over reliable, kindly old
man!
On Thursday Mr.. Harton, the Arm
strongs' legal adviser, called UP from
town. He had, been advised, he said,
that Mrs. Armstrong was coming east
with her husbands body and would
arrive Monday. He came with some
hesitation, at last, to the fact that he
had been further instructed to ask
me to relinquish' my lease on Sunny
side, as it was Mrs. Armstrong; de-
sire to come directly there.
I vas aghast.
"Here!" / said. Surely you are
mistaken, Mr.. Harton. 1 should think.
after-what happened here only a few
days ago, she would never wish to
come back"
Nevertheless" he replied, "she is
most anxious to come. This is what
She says: Use every possible means
to have ~Sunnyside vacated. Must go
there at once"

not going to do anything of the kind.
