Wheat is a fine morning food.

Hens are like folks. about all want

Have big box handy to the houses

He must have some other floor than
an earth one, as his location is very
damp one.
E. B. Thompson, of Armenia, N. Y
uses nothing but earth floors, as he
is on an upland where board or ce-
ment floors are unnecessary. So,
therefore, one man says to use ce-
ment floors, another says to use
boards as cement is too cold, while
still another says that neither boards
nor cement are of any use, but to use
nothing but earth for floors.
Personally, l have used all three
and find that a cement floor, covered
over with six or seven inches of fine
loan, is an ideal floor. The rats
bored through the wooden floor, the
water settled in miniature lakes on
the earth floor, but a cement floor is
a barrier to rats, and while it will
collect moisture, yet the earth and
litter offset all of its faults.
Improper floors are the causes of
many diseases with fowls. In your
brooder house, IL 1t has a cement
floor, be sure and have it covered
with sand and chaff, as the hard ce-
ment is very injurious to the small
chicks bills. A clear cement or
wooden floor is nuisance, and, of
course, all practical poultrymen keep
their floors covered with chaff from
six to ten inches deep.
The subject of proper floors is one
demanding considerable attention, If
one wants his fowls to do we'll. So,
therefore. a large amount of practi-
cal common sense is what is needed
and IL your first floor isn't, in your
mind, the proper one, change and
soon you will find what is best in
your locality.

tins to our view. We rejoice with
these happy women. We are glad to
be allowed to walk with them in the
radiance Of their joy. About these
women there is no doubt that love
has come and intends to stay.
But in our circle of friends there
Is, perhaps, lovable woman who
walks on in single blessedness. She
has executive ability in affairs of the
household, and we picture her as a
successful manager of a home, but
for some reason she never has her
own fireside. We think of this friend
as true and loving wife, but she does
not marry. The divine spark never
seems to strike her. We bemoan the
loss to our little world, and some of
us protest against the barriers which
wall in her heart, but there she is,
smiling-and immune.
Love does not come to her. We
cannot explain why her heart Is not
touched; we wonder at the silence
when one or two adorers offer their
hearts, which are promptly refused.
With a potentiality for loving, she
lives through her years and then
passes out of our knowledge.
What is the reason? Can It be that
there really exists somewhere in this
world man who can awaken the soul
of the loveless one? Is it possible
that in her youth she formed ideals
beyond the power Of man to approxi-
mate, and the first murmur of the
grand passion is drowned by the loud
demands Of these high ideals? Or

Farmers who keep mutton breeds
of sheep do not complain that sheep
do not pay. 1t is the farmer who
makes a specially of wool, and who
sends to market sheep no larger than
lambs, who does not find profit in
sheep. Young lambs alone give good
profits, and often bring more in the
market than matured sheep and its
wool, but such lambs are of the
quick-maturing and excellent mutton
breeds. s.-Epitomist.

FRICTION

What is friction really caused by?
Why will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily? 1t is
because every substance known to
science has teeth; microscopic, II is
true, but still teeth. The result,
then, is obvious. If We shove a
book across a table the teeth of the
book interlock with the teeth of the
table just as cogwheels do. and the
push has to be strong enough either
TO bend them enough to break them
off for the motion to continue.
II has actually been observed in a
microscope that If the push is only
. slight one and moves the book
only a short distance, on the pressure
of the hand being removed the book
actually jumps back to its former
position. This action is a slight

lose their relative positions, and

such as to justly draw and com
mand the attention OF mining men
the world over to Goldfcld and its
adjoining territory, as it shows that
the camp of Goldfeld has gotten
down to actual mining, and that
the camp is of genuine merit.
Predictions as to production for
the remaining half of the year are
but gucsswork, but provided that no
new producer Of size is put into life
before the end of the year, the
Consolidated should raise its record
for the first half of the year by
more than $500, 600, giving it a
total of 1000, 900 for the second
half.

A Bar Harbor dispatch of the 4th

The death Of the Chief Justice

latterly and no serious symptoms
of any kind developed. Yesterday
he attended church as usual and
when he retired last night he seemed
in his customary spirits.
Death came about 6 o'clock this
morning. Mrs. Nathaniel Francis

was the guest of Justice Fuller at
his Sorrento cottage'Mainstay"were
with the jurist when he died. The
funeral services will be held at
Sorrento and the interment will be
at Chicago. The date for the
funeral has not yet been fixed.
Chief Justice Fuller was in his 18th
year.
For years Chief Justice Fuller had
spent his summers at Sorrento. a
summer colony located on French
mans Bay, FIVE miles from Bar

Justice Fuller was born in Aug
usta, Maine, February IL 1888. He
graduated at Bowdoin college in
1853 and Immediately began the
study of law and was admitted to
the bar in 1855. He was appointed
Chief Justice of the United States

1t has been shown that this friction
is not so much between different
bodies of the same material. One
industrial application of this is the
bearings for steel aNles.
In some things we want as much
fir ction as possible and in others as
little. The former is illustrated in
the friction between an engine
wheel and the track. sand sometimes
being poured on the track to in
crease the friction. The latter
case is illustrated in all bearings
where rotating metal is in contact
with stationary metal, some times
ball bearings being substituted. thus
l~essening the friction.

ORIGIN or "HOBSONS CHOICE"

" 1t is a case of Hobson's choice"
is a phrase that is used by many
people without knowing exactly
what it means, says a writer in the
July Strand Magazine. AS a mat
ter of fact this adage has been
handed down to use from the seven
teenth century and had its origin in
the eccentricities of one Tobias
Hobson. This worthy was a carrier
of Cambridge, who died in the year
1880. In addition to his ordinary
business he kept a stable and let
out horses to the students at the
university. He made it an unalter-
able rule, however, that each animal
should have an equal period of
work and rest, and would never let
one out of its turn. Consequently,
instead of being allowed TO select
the stend they most fancied, his
customers had to take the one that
stood next TO the door. If il did
not meet with their approval they
had to do without a ride. Hence,
the proverbial expression, H OBJ.
sons choice" used to signify a
choice without an Alternative.
