GIVE CHARCOAL TO POULTRY
That Can Be Found and Is a
Necessity for Chickens.

Charcoal is one of the best stom-
ach c%orrectives 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 sou and greatly assists tie
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.

Brittany Matrimonial Candidates
Are Herded Together and Mar
ried in a Bunch.

Over in France they have a way
of getting rid of all the undesirable
features which in the United States
go with getting married. They have
the scheme in operation in Brittany.
In Brittany they do away with the
best man and bridesmaids and ushers
and other such impedimenta strewn in
the path of the American celebrants
of the matrimonial ceremony. Even
the dressmaker and the milliner and
the florist are given the laugh. Their
goods aren't needed. The caterer Is
the only tradesman who profits.
About the middle of January every
year there is a general round up of
all the men and women who have
been engaged within the twelve
month. They are herded together in
one place, and on the appointed morn
ing along comes the priest and mar
ries them in a bunch. No fuss. no
feathers, no "Lohengrin" or Robin
Hood stuff, no ushers or bridesmaids
to carry away your stickpins and your
brooches. And everyone wears the
national costume, simple in construc-
ton though gaudy.
There were 81 couples married at
Plougastel January II, "a people, %,
count them. Among the 81 were
only four names. Everyone married
was a Legal, a J~eseuquel, a Thomas
or a Kazeneuff. Fifteen of the brides
were named Marie and three were
named Marie Legal.
The caterer got his rake off from
the barbecue which followed the cere-
mony. He served 81 sheep, and six
COWS at the wedding breakfast.

Burlesuue Wedding Guests.

PoGlbot. a Paris caricaturist, having
determined upon so commonplace n
step as getting married. decided that
he would be married in no common
place way. He asked all his friends
to the wedding, but there was a sine
qua non condition attached to the in
Vestigation. You had to go with a
"mede-up head or you would not be
admitted. Preferably you were re
quested 10 make up as a country
cousin at a village wedding. Some
guests arrived as ancient peasants,
others as village idiots. There were
several bluff squires and rural elderly
gentlemen with means, 4 number of
retired officers and eXuberant uncles
from the south, besides fierce military
gentlemen from the hottest stations
of Algeria. The only persons who
wore their natural physiognomies were
the couple most concerned. They had
drawn the line at making up them
selves as a burlesque bride and a
comic bridegroom.

from Naples to the effect that a wine

be out of his mind. has been keeping
his wife and eleven children shut up
for the last five years in twelve differ

Naples. He seems to have watched
over his prisoners with the utmost

portions of maize, potatoes, eggs. and
sometimes of fowl. He recently al
lowed two of the eldest sons to take
short walks in the neighborhood of

plight known to some %neighbors, who
in their turn informed the police, with
the result that the father was at once
arrested. The release of the prison

The Farm Poultry.

With the commo 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
h. have large healthy birds they
must have abundant range during the
period when they are growing and de-
veloping.
