SOCIETY IN LONDON
BY LADY MARY MANwARISG

London, February 3.-(Special) )-Tne announcement of the engagement of the Lady Eileen Butler. daughter of the Earl and Counters of Lanesborough, to the Marquis of stafford, son and heir to ttc Duke of Sutherland, has caused d feal- ing of intense relief ir. the highest circles of British aristocracy.
 The Marquis of Stafford is not only heir 10 one of the greatest houses In the peer aee, but will be one of the landed pro- prietors in the United Kingdom if he lives. Fo- several years it has been feared that he would te the first to bring dusky duchess into the most exclusive circles.
 His engagement has put an end to that fear, as well as to very pretty TO- nance.
 Lord Stafford is only g, but he has seen good deal of the world. and among other countlIes which he has visited IS India During Lord Minto's regime in Calcutta. lis excelency received visit rom Lord Stafford and as Lord Min;o had three pretty daughters, the visit of the heir Of Brtains largest landowner set Calcutta society, and not only Anglo Indian society, complc tely by the ears. Hut, strange to say, was not at govern rlent house that tho young marquis evolved hie little romance.
 At that time a very notable figure in Calcutta society was that redoubtable shikari, the late Maharajah of Cooch 3ehar The Mahsraiah was not only the biggest big game hunter iIi India, but he was an enthusiastic Free Mason, anc Hail fellow well met" with all the gov- ernment wallahs, and prosperous mer- chants of tne Indian capital Young Lord Stafford as might be expected, sooa became very friendly with the genial Saharaiah. and as fl happened that. years before. the Maharajah had fore sworn both for himself and family that .dea Of sesluson for his women folk which is still q fetish with most of tie t gin Indian families. the marquis soon made the acquaintance of the Mahara- jahs daughters. and their mother, the Maharanee, and soon found himself upoi: terms of no less familiarity with Inc Princesses of Cooch Behar than if they mad been the daughters of a faRily in ,he British pecrage

CHICKS LUNCH COUNTER.

Easily Built Hopper Has Saved One
third Of Food For One Poultry Man.
The builder of this self regulating
hopper for feeding poultry has found
by many years experience that 1t pays
TO let chickens have a constant supply
OF wheat and other grain, and he
claims that 1t is economy in the long
run to use a hopper that supplies feed
at all times. but prevents waste. The
old fashioned method OF throwing out
grain for the chickens to scramble for
results in the overlooking of the strong
and greedy fowls and the consequent
waste of feed. 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 eat
at any time Of the wheat, cracked corn.

WINTER SPRAYING.
Recommended by Georgia Expert az
Measure Against San Jose Scale.

Recommended by Georgia Expert az
Measure Against San Jose Scale.
There was a time when good fruits
,ould be grown with little or no spray
ing. But that time has passed. for, with
the growth of the nursery business ana
the dissemination OF imported uursery
stock. injurious insects and fungous dis
eases have been so thoroughly distrib-
uted all over our fruit growing sections
that unless stringent measures are re-
sorted to very little first class fruit "a
be produced.
If an orchardist does not intend to
spray his fruit trees he had about as
well cut them down and grow other
crops On the soil, for an uncontrolled
attack OF the San Jose scale will in a
very few years put practically the en-
tire orchard out of commission This
scale is now so prevalent that few or
chards are clear of it or can hope to
remain so. A large number of the vol
unteer fruit trees I'm the fence corners
and along the roads are infected and
serve TO spread the insect to orchards.
even If there were not other chances
Of infection. In fact, the matter mar
rows itself down TO the point where
we u either spray or buy our fruit
from the man who does spray.
There are certain scale insects, espe
cially the San Jose scale, which can
not be successfully combated during
the summer. for nj this time the trees
are in full foliage and are SO tender
that any spray solution which will kill
the scale is liable to kill the trees also.
For this reason we have to resort to
fall and winter spraying. At this time
the trees are dormant and more re.
sistant to spray solutions, so that we
can use solutions sufficiently caustic to
kill the scale and yet not injure the
trees.
The San Jose scale is known in al
most all horticultural literature. How
ever. 1t is sometimes surprising to
know how many owners Of small or.
chards do not know the San Jose scale
when they see it on a tree. This scale
is OF a brownish gray color and is or.
dinarily not larger than the head of a
pin. 1t attaches itself to the bark Of
fruit trees, giving the limbs Of the
trees a grayish scaly appearance. If
one Of these scales is mashed with the
point Of a knife or other instrument a
yellow fluid Is mashed out. ANY grow
er who is not familiar with this scale
should send specimen pieces Of limbs
that are thought to be infected to his
state experiment station or agricul-
tural college for identification. The
specimens should be closed securely in
a small tin can or other tight recep-
tacle, so that the scale, IL present, will
not get scattered through the mails.
These institutions are always glad to
give advice along such lines.-H. p.

Poultry Pickings.

D%arkening the nests is n way to
prevent the egg eating habit.
Earthen water fountains in the poul-
try yard are better than tin ones. The
former will keep the water cooler in
summer and warmer in winter.
1t is an old saying "that too much
care will kill a cat" and 1t is also true
Of chickens. While there is certain
daily work to be done, it is not neces-
sary to coddle the chicks and try to
be with them all tho time.
A hen in the best laying condition
has some surplus fat on her body.
This means that her bodily wants
have been supplied, and there IN some
to spare. A very fat hen seldom lays
well. A poor hen cannot lay well.
An average Of $50 Eggs per hen dur.
ing the irst year Of laying Is fairly
good laying. Pullets in good health
and vigor should average this number
Of eggs. During the second year they
win lay about rs per cent fewer eggs
and each succeeding year correspond
ingly fewer.
A poultry keeper gives a recipe for
a dry mash which contains a large
amount of heterogeneous food and says
It Is especially good for feeding pull
lets. He uses n bushel each of bran.
middlings, alfalfa and one-half bushel
each OF ground oats and meal and
some fine charcoal aid meat scraps.
These are mixed thoroughly.
