LUNCH COUNTER FOR CHICKS
Poultry Raiser of Many Years Expe-
rience Describes Hopper He
Finds to Be Satisfactory.

The builder Of this self-regulating
hopper for feeding poultry has found
by many years experience that it
pays to let chickens have a constant
supply of wheat and other grain. and
he claims that it is economy in the
long run to use a hopper that supplies
feed at all times but prevents waste.

ing out grain for the chickens to
scramble for results in the oyerfeed-
ing of the strong and greedy fowls.

while on the other hand the weaker
and less aggressive of the flock do
not get their share.
This homemade device is designed
to solve the problem, and the hopper
is so arranged that the chickens can

BYE as a Poultry Feed.

Rye I have found an excellent grain
for poultry, especially young stock
and laying hens, If fed in way so
they will eat it. One way I use it is
to have it ground coarsely with corn
and cats and fed in mash. Another is
to boil it until It cracks open. This
makes an exceptionally good ration
for laying hens, and nearly every day
during the winter my hens get a mess
of It. Treated in this way, it has
much the same qualities as wheat,
says a writer in an exchange Care
is necessary, however, not to feed too
freely at first. as it is laxative in it's
effects, until the hens become accus-
toned to 1t. Its value considered, it
is a very economical grain to feed.

Snuh boxes are not what they used
to be. More people take SNUFF than is
commonly thought, but their tastes are
not nice as to the utensils, receptacles
and agencies of the foible. Snuf boxes
are sometimes given by sovere;gns to
distinguished visitors as souvenirs.
but the recipients are not even under
implied obligation to fill them with rap
pee. The great prices realized at the
Schroeder sale of snuff boxes in Lon
don may bring them into vogue again,
at least with collectors. but with col.
lectors only. Count Nesserode, the
Russian statesman of the last century,
was a famous collector of SNUFF boxes.
He collected them as a diplomatist, re-
ceiving one or two for each treaty he
signed. and when he had got 100000
worth of them turned them into cash
and became a capitalist. His capital
he invested so judiciously that his de-
s%cendants are multimDlionaires. The
moral of Count Nesselrode's expert
enc is that a snuff box is not to be
sneezed at.

A legislator in Missouri who was a

a pass, however much lovers Of the

RABBIT SAUSAGE.

Down in Georgia there 10 gastronom.

table delicacy in the form Of rabbit
sausage. The b%enefactor to mankind
who made the discovery lives In

joicing IN Wilkes over one Molly Hare
made into mincemeat than over ninety
and nine specimens of the same that
have been fried, stewed, boiled and
~barbecued. The good news is gradual
ly percolating into other parishes. The
inventor of rabbit sausage is showing
no disposition to bottle up his rare re-
cipe, to peddle patent rights or to put
in a claim for royalties. 1t was in
Georgia that President Taft made his
FIRST acquaintance with 'possum. and

Is not deserving of mention in the
same breath with rabbit sausage, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal. The
president will have a new epicurean
experience coming to him the next
time he sets foot on Georgian soil.
Rabbit sausage looks good at long
range. Those who like rabbit in the
various forms in which 1t is wont to be
served in Kentucky would need little
persuasion to join in an assault upon
Wilkes county's latest production in
the line of high-class "eats." Those
who are fortunate enough to recall the
famous country sausage that once was
to be had in nearly every Kentucky
farmhouse in its proper season will be
hard to convince that anything better
ever was Or ever will be discovered.
