From the New York Sun.

In Florida tarpon are found on both the east coast and the west coast, but the gulf side is where one S surer of a strike in December than on the Atlantic side.
 Here are some tarpon stories told bv fishermen between strikes at Aran- sas Pass, Texas.
 Back in 1888, wien Harrison was nominated for the presidency, Perry J. Lewis and A. w. Houston of San An tonic, Tex, decided they would spend their time fishing rather than get busy with the election of a President. As a result of that fishing trip in the gulf waters they made known the lighting abilities of the tarpon, now considered the greatest of game fish, attractll. s to the particular waters where 1t makes Its home visitors from all parts of the world.
 In 1775 Dampier wrote of the tarpon' "The tarpon is large sealy fish shaped much like a salmon, but somewhat rat ter 'Tis of a dull silver color, with scales as big as 0 half crown A large tarpon will weigh 20 or 30 pounds.

Their home was in a small village in

however, and they had an especially
wise and vigorous mother, who lis
tened to their hopes and ambitions
about trying their fate in Il new
country, and so, one by one, they
migrated to America-tirst Giovanni
who is now Italian consul at Char

OF the boys, Giovanni, is still on the

good ways from 80. BY the way, he
is manager OF the leading hotel of
the city, Of which Santo is the
owner. The latter and the other
three are widc-awakc, far-sceing and

a small flock Of laying pullets in a
few square feet of space In the back
yard.
A house eight by eight feet square
will we'll accommodate q dozen pull
lets of the Americas classes, Plym-
outh Rocks, Wyandottes or Rhode
Island Reds, or fifteen Leghorn pull
lets. A house six by eight feet will
comfortably keep eight or ten pull
lets Of the American classes or ten
or Il dozen Leghorns. No yard room
is required, as all the exercise neces-
sary can be taken inside the house,
scratching for the grain food, and
as the birds are kept in the house
all the time there is no unsightly
litter Of flying feathers, ETC., to an
noy the eyes Of neighbors. AS no
useless male bird is kept there is
no loud growing to disturb the mid
night slumbcrS of the neighb0rS or
oneself.
1t is a new idea to most people
that birds kept for eggs only do not
need an outside yard, or run, and
that the male bird under such con-
ditions is not only unnecessary, but
nuisance. If we were to use the
eggs Of our back yard birds to hatch
chickens from, the eggs would be
stronger and hatch better if the
;,I, Il
given exercise in the open air; and,
similarly, the male birl would be
essential. Having the male bird,
and the outside run there are all
the annoyances of noise, flying fea-
thers, etc. Where the pullets are
kept only for eggs for the table both
the outside run and the male bird
are unnecessary.
What is necessary is a comforta-
Bile house which is free from
draughts, and which gives each pull
let about five square feet OF floor
space; the SXSfoot house mentioned
has 64 square feet Of floor space five
square feet each for dozen birds.
Such houses, portable houses, can
be bought Of dealers in poultry sup
plies in all Of our larger cities, or
can be built at the cost Of only a
few dollars for lumber, roofing ma
terial, nails, etc., and the use of
some few spare hours. The need
not be elaborate structures. They
should be six feet high in front, five
mgn at the BACK, with roof sloping
to the back, and they should face
the south SO as to give the inhabi-
tants sunshine. The five feet height
at the back enables having the drop

Eggs and Poultry fox Family.
(Reliable Poultry Journal.)


There are thousands uponMthou-
sands OF people who might grasp the
| opportunity which Il few square feet
Of back yard presents, to keep a
small flock Of laying pullets to- sup
ply frcsh-laid eggs for heSfamily
and an occasional fowl for the Sun
day dinner. Undoubtedly lick Of
knowledge Of the opportunityeWhich
lies in a small back yard Is thetchi"f
cause Of people falling to take adj
vantage Of it, 1t is our hope to
make plain to some OF these people
that the opportunities lie right to
their hand, and they may then avail
themselves Of the reward awaiting
them. in the shape Of eggs fresh
from the nests and an occasional
roast or frcasseed fowl for the Sun
day dinner.
We might, indeed, preach the ad-
vantage Of some cash profit to be
gained, but that is Of minor import
ance; tho great thing Is family
supply OF fresh laid eggs, and many,
many thousands OF people know the
great difficulty Of obtaining a sup
ply Of that best Of foods, which can
be depended upon for freshness and
fine flavor. We all know the too
much flavor Of the common cold
storage variety Of hen fruit; very
few know the delicate and appetiz-
ing flavor Of eggs fresh from the
nests.
The case is exactly similar to that
OF choice, well-fattened, chicken
flesh, Of which very few people know
the delicious flavor This Is pointed
out in a recent government bulletin:
MANY consumers of poultry do not
'know how delicious a well-fattened
spring chicken is, but after once Sc
curing bird thus fattened they will
most likely ask for the same quality
in the future" 1t can we'll be lik-
ened, also. to the case of the small
boy who had always lived ili a city
and went on a visit to relatives in
the country. He was given b glass
OF new milk to drink, took y down
with manifest satisfaction, and ex-
claimed: Gee! | wish OUT milk
man kept cow!"
The egg that is fresh from, the
nest and produced by well-fe1 hens
| Is exactly conparerDle' 10 new mlIK
or well-fattened spring chicken for

ity, and thousands upon thousands
of people would enjoy those deli
cious eggs. If they would but keep
