1t affords a large amount of storage
room for hay and grain.
With all classes of stock the value
of the feed Is the same, whether 1t be
fed to the scrawniest of scrubs or the
best of full-bloods.
Barley Is one Of the best feeds on
the farm. 1t contains a little more
protein than corn.
In bad weather Angora goats should
be fed some cheap hay or root crop.
If protected from the rains you will
be repaid by more and stronger kids.
When good weather settles your goats
will go back to their brush eating
with ravenous appehtes.
The average market hog should
weigh 800 pounds at eight months Of
age. For the pig two to four months
old. protein is the most important
feed.
Ground fiaxseed is an excellent sub
stitute for butter fat to be fed to
calves. Use a heaping teaspoonful to
every feed of milk while the calf Is
from two to six weeks old. provided
you are feeding skim milk.
AS the calf grows older gradually
increase the laxseed meal until the
calf is getting about a heaping tea
spoonful with each feed. This may be
mixed with the milk. but never mix
cornmeal or any other ground feed
that contains good deal of starch
with the milk, as that Is very apt 70
produce scours.
Starchy foods must be mixed with
saliva before digestion takes plaza.

Good shelter for animals will not
make them less hardy nor more sus-
ceptible to disease; on the other hand.
in many cases. it will prevent the con-
traction of disease. There is no ques-
ton about the good of making the
shelter warm and comfortable, pro-
viding the sanitation, ventilation and
lighting are good. These are things
that are to be looked into carefully.
One other trouble in closely sta
bling animals for large portion of
the year is the lack Of exercise for the
animals. 1t is biological fact that
all animals must have a certain
amount of wholesome exercise for
health. development and working or
producing power. Inactivity means
decay and death. Keeping mich cows
closely stalled for weeks. and even
months at time, is not right from
a humanitarian point of view, and
thinking persons know that it Is not
good for the health of the animal.

lice of the car of Russia will know

patton of the library reader will in
the course Of routine business be in
scribed on the official records at st.
Petersburg, together with descrip-
ton of the listed persons physical

According to Bourtseff and the local
leaders of the movement with whom
he is working, this city harbors many
secret agents of the home govern
ment whose business it is to keep the
police informed of the revolutionary
activities here, and especially to cable
information whenever a revolutionist
leaves New York for a visit to Rus

Petersburg before his ship Is half way

some pretext is found for arresting
him.

eral credited to this city.
This chief agent is supposed to be
Alexander M. Evenlenko, who calls
himself publisher, and who de-
clares that he is loyal to the same
cause that his accusers are working
for. But 1t is said that Evenlenko
makes too many calls at the con-
sulate, and he is specifically charged
with informing St Petersburg of the
coming of Matushenko. Matushenko
was one of the conspirators who
brought about the mutiny on the Rus
sian warship Potemkin. He escaped
to this country. where he was har-
bored by Evenlenko. and then re-
turned to Russia upon the latter's ad-
vice. He was captured at the border
and hanged three days later
For every drop of blood spilled In
this revolutionary work there are
oceans of printers ink involved.
Bomb throwing is infrequent, but
pamphlets attacking the car and
printed in New York and Paris are
smuggled over the Russian border
every day by the CARLOAD. So, in
the opinion of the secret police, the
first step toward disloyalty to the
government is reading about It.
That is why the spies in New York
have their instructions to watch the
Libraries. One of these agents Is an
old man with long white beard.
He is great reader himself. He
spends most of his time In the branch
public libraries on the East side.
But he never forgets that he is on
duty, and looks away from his fiction
pages from time to time to see who is
reading the heavier books of philoso-
ply and history and political econ
omy. If he sees that some other
reader is there regularly he will walk
behind him to get glimpse at his
book. If 1t is of the sort of litera-
ture supposed to breed discomfort
with monarchies In the mind of the
reader, the old spy will find some
way of learning that readers name
and address. He will report to the
chief agent, who will give the name
of the suspect to the spy assigned
to the students particular neighbor-
hood. The second spy will learn what
organization. If any, the library patron
belongs to, and then attend a meeting
to learn how much of what has been
absorbed from the books is poured
out In speeches denouncing the czar.
Then, after this investigation, If the
watched man or woman is considered
at all dangerous by the agent. the
name Is forwarded to Russia

HEN

By SAMUEL PHILLrPs.)

(By SAMUEL PHILL1PS.)
I know from what l have seen on
some farms that the hens made q
great deal more money-investment
work and cost considered = than
any other one branch of farming.
Most farmers consider the care of
poultry ''woman's work." and some of
them are actually ashamed 70 be seen
helping their wives look after the
fowls. What mistake! It Is not as
much a woman's work as a mans, be-
cause 1t often involves exposure dur
ing storms and cold weather and the
man who will refuse to save his wife
from any bit of hard work possible Is
a pretty poor specimen Of farmer.
If these men would study the science
of poultry raising and give 1t as much
attention as any other branch of farm.
ing, they would make more money
and make 1t easier. The American
hen has made her place In agriculture
by producing millions of dollars every
year, and she has earned the respect
of every right-thinking farmer In the
land.

The hen expected to raise large
brood of chicks should be provided
with the best quarters possible. The
coop should admit plenty of sunshine;
should be wind, water and vermin
proof: should be coy and dry and
should afford easy access to all parts
for cleaning and caring for the little
chicks. The floor should be near
enough to the ground so that the little
chicks after getting out can easily
find their way back and yet far enough
of the surface of the ground to in
sure dryness. The coop should not
be cumbersome, yet 1t should be sub
stantially built
The coop shown in the illustration
Is well adapted to the needs of the
small fancier with only a brood or
two and to the large poultry raiser
alike who raises a number of chicks
with hens. 1t is built on the open
air colony house type plan. If 1t is
intended to give the chicks free range
after few weeks old and after they
have been weaned from the old hen,
a roost may be placed in the back
part of the coop and the young fowls
raised almost to maturity in 1t.
The coop is So inches long by Is

Observation-Disclosures
Through the Pantry Window
By CLAUDINE SISSON

On certain chill October after
noon, which was frightened only by
a flare of crimson leaves on all the
naples and the ever-present tangles
of aster and golden rod along the
bushy banks. Elsie turned her horse
in at a rickety picket gate and dis
mounted before the porch of tiny.
shabby. neglected house.
Tears came to Elsie's eyes, as she
thought of the dead woman who had
animated 1t with her kindly presence.
She felt that she would like to go In
and look about and try In imagination
to refurnish the abandoned rooms and
to people them with the gentle figures
that had once frequented them.
The thin old horse. a freckled gray
from the livery stable in town, was
pulling at the reins In an effort to get
his nose to the grass. Elsie sought
for some plac" to make him secure
and remembered the little barn. II
the door was not nailed up she could
put him in there.
The door was not nailed up. II slid
open easily and she led the horse in
and tied him to the stall which had
held only cobwebs and hay and dust
for long time. A little had re-
NAMED in one corner She carried
1t to the horse. who received 1t as
eagerly as If 1t had been the freshest
OF fodder. Then she went to the
house.
1t was locked securely. She went
about trying the shutters. At last she
found one partly off the hinges
blown off by a high wind, no doubt.
She swung it clear and put her hand
to the window underneath. To her
surprise, 1t raised as she pushed upon
It. She seemed to hear a familiar
voice saying in her ear:
The ketch on that pantry window
needs fixing bad. but can't seem to
do It. But, la! what difference does it
make? There amt no burglar COM
ing in here for the little trash I've
got. II one did come in he'd be glad
enough to get out again, after I'd

looked in. The tiny place was neat,
the cupboard doors shut; an old iron
spider hung against the wall.
The window sill was only knee
high from the ground. and Elsie
climbed over 1t easily. She let down
the window behind her. The floor
gave back an empty sound beneath
her feet as she walked across 1t to
the kitchen. The kitchen. too. was
quite unchanged
After the dining room came the
parlor, the room that in aunt Hopes
lifetime Elsie had always loved best.
1t was a good sized room In the front
of the house. She lifted a window
and turned the stats of the closed
shutters. The yellow afternoon
light came In across the bare floor.
Innumerable notes danced in its
rays. Upon the walls a few old pic
lures still hung, and the wall paper
showed fresh spaces upon its faded
surface where others had been.
Elsie sat down upon one of the an.
pealing chairs and clasped her hands
in their riding gauntlets about her
knee. There was a chill of firelessness
and stale air in the room, but she did
not feel 1t. She was thinking of the
last time she had been in this room.
There had been flowers In the room
and many people. In the midst lay
aunt Hope, always hitherto so gra.
cious and genial. so quick to respond
to the love OF her friends and neigh
bors. Her hands were crossed upon
flower: her lips smiled a new little
smile of understanding of mems ways
and of Gods. Above the hushed
sound of tears rose dignified voice:
81 am the resurrection and the life"
How wildly she remembered it all!
She had sat here and he had sat
there with aunt Hope between. And
though they both looked at aunt Hope
tearfully they would not look at each
other. How pale he had been! And.
perhaps, she, too. had been just as

ultimate controllers of the enterprise,
are the things which determine wheth-
err or not an educational institution
shall be in fact college or a mere
school, an organism or an aggregation.
New as it it, Jamestown college has
already become an educational organ
ism, a being with an identity. 1t is
the soul Of such being that is known
as college spirit and Jamestown college
has college spirit.
This spirit exists, first of all, in its
board of trustees. They are business
men with initiative and vision. Some
items might be culled from recent his
tory illustrating these qualities. When
it was determined to endow, equip,
and reopen the school, jamestown
pledged $4,000 for the rehabilitation of
the existing building as the first item
in the movement, after certain other
amounts were raised. But without
waiting for other people to do all they
had promised the citizens, under the
leadership of the local members of the
board, went right ahead, raised $4,000,
instead of $4,000, completed the re-
pairs, and having nearly $4,000 left
proposed the erection of the president
residence. This amount was after
wards sufficiently increased and the
residence erected. 1t is elegant ample,
, and admirably adapted to its specific
purpose. President and Mrs. Kroeze
