New York he must explain all he had
done by wire to his partners.

Ancient Britons' Sweet Tooth.

Mention Of the German custom of
eating compete of wild STRAWBERRIES
with roast pork reminds us that our
ancestors in England had a decidedly
sweeter tooth than we have. In Tudor
times it was the general practice to
pour honey over the meat. and, indeed
money or sugar was used in so many
dishes Ito say nothing of being min
gled with the wine) that it is on record
that the teeth of most people were
black In consequence. Most of our an
cestors' dishes would be too rich for us
today, for surely even the most accom-
plished diner out would shrink from
oysters stewed in wine, pigeons stuff
ed with gooseberries, grapes boiled in
butter and mutton stuffed with oysters.

REARING CHICKENS.
How to Take Care Of Young Stock and
Feed Them.

How to Take Care Of Young Stock and
Feed Them.
When chicks are from twenty -four to
thirty-six hours old they are ready to
be moved from the incubators to the
brooder house Put them In hovers
nearest the furnace. Be sure to have
heat up In hovers at least twelve hours
before the chickens are put in to In
sure the hovers being warm and dry.
There should be dry sand well sprin-
killed. over the hover floors or some
road dust. Sand Is the best Let the
chickens alone till they are thirty-six
hours old. Then feed them some roll
ed oatmeal well rubbed up In the
hands. Feed this for few days; also
some green evaporated bonemeal and
chicken grit Give water and milk in
fountains, made by inverting some tin
fruit cans over saucers, first cutting a
notch in the edge Of the can about one
quarter Of an inch deep. Such foun-
tain will keep chicks dry, and the
drink will be kept clean. When chicks
are a few days old begin to feed a
chicken food containing meat and
grain. Feed five or six times daily.
On the south side Of the brooder
house have roomy yards sown to rape
for chicks when they are a week old
to run In, and also provide rape for
cutting and feeding them later on
when the yard rape is used up. This
method Of rearing chickens is more Of
a pleasure than work. Use plenty Of
whitewash In houses. Put it on with
a compressed air sprayer. That is the
best thing for the purpose. Fill every
crack and crevice that can be filed In
this way, and the job is quickly done.
During the warm months spray yards
and hovers with sulphuric acid and
water, four ounces of the acid to
three gallons Of water. This viii de-
stroy all vermin and their eggs. Most
cases of cholera are only lice and
mites sapping the life out of the chick
ems. Warm houses for the winter lay
ers can be built quite cheaply Of rough
lumber, and liberal use Of heavy
tarred paper will make frost proof

What Napoleon Couldn't Do


An incident connected with Napoleon

BY an inscription affixed to the wall OF

exile came along one day and ex-

oxen refused to obey him. overturned

inscription runs thus:
Napoleon the Great, passing by this

to plow, but the oxen, rebellious to
those hands which yet had guided Eu-

aEArlNe rHE TRUST.

While the egg trust has been awful
busy stacking away eggs to beat the
people next winter the people have
also been busy preserving eggs to beat
the trust at its own game. In June
in twenty eight warehouses in New
York there were stacked 1,119,000
cases, or 40O,O00,0O0 eggs, an increase
Of 100000 cases over last year.
But, say, if you go into lots of cool,
clean cellars and rooms in private
homes you will also find thousands
and thousands of eggs preserved in
crooks, kegs and barrels that weren't
there last year. This stunt seems to
be universal among the people, and the
trust is going to have the time of its
life the coming season. for it must
compete with the antipathy of the peo-
pie, the uncornered fresh egg supply,
the large foreign imports and, last, but
not least, these home stored eggs.
Most of these are preserved in liquid
glass, which has kept eggs for four
years with less change than comes to
a cold storage egg in three months.
You didn't put any up? Sorry you
didn't have the method. Well, here 1t
is for 1911:

A little comedy between acts enliv-

night last week. A middle aged man
accompanied by his wife sat directly
behind a pretty young girl and her es-

middle aged man went out for fresh

OF the fresh air and gayer spirits with
him. His wife gave him startled
glance, and like fash her hand went

HOW

How to Do 1t Thoroughly With Little
Trouble.
In the first place, supply yourself
with sweeping sheets. How many Of
you have them ready? A substitute is
sometimes supplied by using the soiled
sheets from the bed for covering the
furniture, but that is not exactly q
clean method.
Should you wish to purchase new
sheets buy the coarse unbIeached cot
ton cloth, double width, and bind It
with turkey red Make the sheets big
enough to cover the largest piece Of
furniture you wish to protect In this
way.
Dress yourself for your work before

pair Of loose, old gloves.
Begin your work by carrying from
the room all small objects which you
cannot lay on some chair or couch,
that can be covered afterward. Dust
them before you lay them aside, using
a cheesecloth or chamois cloth duster
which has been slightly dampened.
Next move out of the room all small
pieces of furniture which can be taken
from the room easily, busting them
also before they are banished.
Cover closely with your sweeping
sheets all the furniture which cannot
be removed. using smaller cloths for
draping pictures and other wall orna-
ments which cannot readily be taken
down. Rugs and the like will, of
course. have to be taken out
Have ready your damp tea leaves

FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

When thieves entered a poultry house
at Chester, Pa. and walked off with
sixty-seven fine fowls, they left the
following note: Have your ducks fat
tened up for us. We will be back in
about two weeks. Your chickens are
pretty fair, but the ducks are too skin
ny"
The reason living is so high is be-
cause too many people want to roost
too high. The fellow who gets SIS a
week wants to perch on a twenty-five
dollar roost, and the fellow who gets
$25 wants to parade on top with the
millionaires. Let milady remember
this when she buys that hat.
The board of railroad commissioners
of Kansas filed complaints against
nineteen express companies with the
interstate commerce commission to
save the poultry business of the state,
which is made to ''languish and suffer-
under the unjust express rates.
Egg laying contests are not conclu-
sive and afford little that's practical

eighty-four thousand FIVE hundred and

Simple Rules For Treatment II You

The treatment of a rattlesnake
wound resolves itself into the appli-
cation Of few very simple rules. In
the first place, a person wounded by a
snake usually does the very thing he
should not do-that is. goes tearing off
at top speed for the nearest human
habitation, thereby increasing the cir
culation and disseminating the virus
through the system more rapidly. The
man should sit calmly down and bind
his handkerchief around the limb Of
it is a limb, break of a stout twig
and insert beneath the handkerchief,
producing a rude tourniquet, and twist
until the circulation is effectually shut
of.
With sharp knife make an X In
cision over the wound, taking care
to penetrate deeper than the fangs
have done. If he has good teeth and
ne canker in his mouth, he may now
suck vigorously upon the wound. 1t
does no good to suck the original
wound 1t is quite difficult to get any
virus back through an opening not
greater In caliber than fine needle.
If all this Is done without delay the
chances are that the patient viii suf-
fer no greater inconvenience from his
experience. If he chances to have
handy stick of silver nitrate ne can
cauterize the wound thoroughly. Fail
ing that, brand from the fire will
serve. After a time he may release
his toNrniquet somewhat and permit
a position of the retained blood to en-
ter the circulation. The system Is ca
