Beyond the Law.

When Farmer Fairweight came to
London on flying visit he discovered
many things-that buses could go
without horses, that you could walk
for a whole hour without striking a
field or an acquaintance, and, finally,
that you couldn't hit a policeman SIM
ply because he compels you to move
out of other peoples way.
AS he was being taken to the station
he inquired what the policeman in
tended doing with him.
You'll find out soon enough" said
the policeman grimly. Seven days,

Seven days! All, that's where

farmer triumphantly, producing the

Real Significance of Boxer Movement.

The history which the foreigner is
likely to have most often in mind in
Peking, however. is only ten years
old For 1t has been only ten years
and a few months since the famous
Boxer outbreak. The widely current
idea is that this Boxer movement
originated in anti-missionary senti-
ment, but this is not borne out by the
facts. The late Col. Charles DENLY,
long American minister to China,
pointed out very clearly that the main
cause was opposition to the land
grabbing policies of European ma
tions. Once started, however, 1t took
the form of opposition to everything
foreign-missionarie and non-mis-
sionaries alike. / passed the old Ro-
man Catholic Cathedral the other day

me "reminiscences of the siege that
sounded like echoes of the days of the

AN ANCIENT CITY OF ARIZONA.
Buildings of Sandstone Found Buried
Beneath Prairie Dust.

Still another oldest city in the
world" has been discovered. When
II. Hewitt Myring found vases i'm Peru
in ruins which were said to be 1000
years old it was imagined that the re-
mains of early civilizations had been
husned as far into antiquity as they
would ever go.
But A. Lafave, a mining engineer,
has found the relics of a town in an
Arizona tablelard near Phoenix which
he insists are at least 10000 years old.
The buildings are on Il level Stretch
of country where neither silt nor wash
was possible. and yet the ruins were
covered with ten feet Of prairie dust,
which the diScoverer claims required
ages To accumulate.
The buildings of sandstone show
great architectural skill, and in the
walls were found box of cotton bolls
and Il sealed jar of corn. both well pre-
served. The Arizona climate does not
permit the growth of cotton in the
present age. SO Mr.. Lafave assumes
that sufficient time must have elapsed
since the cotton which he found was
grown to have wrought complete
change in the character of the c0un-

Feeding the Chicks.

The chicks need no feed for the
first two days after they are hatched
1t is better to leave them in the nest
with the hen the first day and move
to the coop when one day old. A
light feed may be given the even
ing of the second day, and the next
day give three feeds and increase one
feed day till they are fed five times
per day.
If the chicks can not get on the
ground where they can get sharp
sand, they should be given a little
with the first feed. Oat flakes or
pin-head oatmeal makes very good
feed for the first day or two. Some
prefer to give bread or cracker
crumbs wet with milk and squeezed
as dry as possible. Either of these
feeds will be all right, but do not
give too much of either. Feed little
at a time and often; never try to coax
the chicks to eat. If they are not
hungry when feeding time comes
they have had too much at the last
feed and 1t is better to let them go
without till they are hungry again.
After the first couple Of days finely
cracked grains should be added to
the ration. This can be bought ready
mixed for chick feeding, in most
towns. When l make my own mix
ture, l use one part Of corn, one part
oats and two parts wheat.
The corn must be quite finely
cracked and the wheat should also be
cracked For the first two weeks 1
use oatmeal and then hulled oats.
Corn bread can be used to good
advantage for two of the five feeds.
make it out of equal parts Of corn
meal and wheat middlings, mixing
either with milk or water. Cook
thoroughly and do not feed till cold.
If you have infertile eggs, boil them
hard and feed with the bread, using
four parts Of bread to one part of
egg Do not give more than two
feeds of this per day. making the first
and last Of the grain.
This can be continued till the
chicks are from four to six weeks old.
From that time the purpose for which
you want the chicks will determine
how you should feed them. If they
are for breeding stock, gradually sub
stitute dry mash for the bread, and
the grain may be changed to larger
size as soon as the chicks can eat it.
If for market as frying-size chickens,
and they should be given all they
will eat and should not have too large
a range. S. Jeffrey, in Raleigh
