FATTENING THE CHICKENS.

Chickens having the run of the farm
seldom put on sufficient flesh for the
most exacting trade. BY penning them
for 10 days or two weeks and feeding
fattening ration. a gain of one or
two pounds per fowl can be made says
a writer i'm Farm and Home. An ex-
ira fat chicken will usually bring .
or cents more per pound than one
only in fair order.
Not over a dozen chickens should
be put together In very limited quar-
tiers. The room should be kept fairly
at feeding time to enable the fowls to
see to eat The reason for crowding
and darkening the room is to prevent
unnecessary movements. for to fatten
readily. chicken should get very lit
tie exercise.
A ration recommended for the fat
toning pen Is composed of equal parts
Of corn meal, middlings and ground
oats, to which is added Is per cent by
weight of beef scrap. This mixture is
wet up with sour milk and fed from
V-shaped troughs. The chickens
should be fed all they will eat In 10
minutes, after which the feed troughs
should be removed and the pen dark
ened until time TO feed again. Feed
three times a day.

sIost rich fathers CO not love seape-

PEOPLE IN THE CLOUDS.

Bolivia has taken a most unique
way among the South American coun.
tries OF observing Its national birth
day. 1t proposes to celebrate by open

short line across the coast range OF
the Andes down to the ocean. Bo-
livia's July 4th, that is, its indepen-
dence day, comes on August 9Th, and
this is the day set for opening the
railroad which connects the capital
La Paz with africa on the Pacific.
Bolivia itself is one of the most in
teresting countries In the world. 1t
sometimes has been called the i'm
prisoned country because 1t had no
coast line. Its great table land or pla-

VALUABLE FIND OF OAK.

A rich find of black oak has just
been made on a farm near Hull, Eng
land. The farm recently changed
hands, and the new owners decided TO
clear away a wood which stood upon
it. In excavating to remove tree roots
the workmen discovered several
trunks of black bog oak, and further
investigations revealed hundreds OF
trunks Of oak under the ground. They
were in splendid condition, and had
evidently been buried a century or
more. 1t is customary to bury oak in
order to turn 1t black and thus in
crease its value. Evidently that had
been done in this case, but the death
or removal OF the proprietor of the
farm caused it to be forgotten, and 1t
lay undisturbed, and other trees were
planted on the top of it. So great is
the quantity and so compactly is it
buried that explosives are being used
to loosen 1t. The value OF the oak IL
believed to be considerable.

PRICE OF SUICIDE RISES.

missionary in China writes that
the price OF opium is now higher than
ever on account OF the stringent
measures taken by the government 10
suppress the cultivation of the POPPY.
This rise In price," he says, has one
good feature. Raw opium is a poison.
and when the crop is in hundreds OF
women utilize 1t as means of ending
their troubles. Now, however. the
price Is so high that the rolls of opium
contain only about three parts of
opium to seven Of leather waste. At
least ten such rolls are needed to pro-
duce death, and each coll costs ten
cash, or one cent. The price OF sui.
eide by opium il, therefore, ten cents
which Is much more than most of
those desiring death can possiblv
scrape together. In other words. AMI.
eide is now a luxury which only a few
can Afford"
