NJEEBI parted pair of lips that of the

thin, blue veined hand in protest and called out in
the peevish, fretful, impatient tone of chronic in

not to injure the fowls feet should

the frame, clean stone should be
dropped in the cans; then they can

GIVE CHARCOAL TO POULTRY
One of the Best Stomach Correctives
That Can Be Found and Is
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,
for 1t corrects any tendency of the
food 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
the 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 and fed to the hens with
profit.

A Shlppina Error.

wife Of the richest peer In England,
recently gave birth to her third child,
a daughter. Thus there is no heir to
the immense 5rosvenor fortune, Earl
Grosvenor, the duchess second child,

story is being told in Newport about
Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight
year-old daughter of the young Ouch

A friend, the story goes, called at
Eaton Hall, and as she sat in the
drawing-room, little Lady Ursula en-

Opportunity of Suffraa ist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women 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 it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

The Farm Poultry.

With the common knowledge of the
earning of the farm focks 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 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 la
borious, then the yards may be bene-
fitted by sprinkling them with 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.
