POULTRY RAISING
FOR FARM GIRLS
Let Her Have Entire Care and
Management of Fowls for
Specified Share.
(By ANNIE HoEFARTH.)

To the boy on a farm is usually
given some property Of his own, even
when quite small 1t is no uncommon
thing to see him given a share in
the crops when he is large enough to
do a mans work. The father fur
nishes tools, team, seed and fertilizer,
and the boy crops" with him on the
same terms as his tenant This is
perfectly proper and as it should be:
but why not give his sister "a chance,
also?
There is the flock of poultry and
buildings; or, If there are no build.
ings, there should che some erected
right away. Then turn the poultry
raising over into her hands, letting
ment of the fowls, for certain speci-
fed share of the profit.
Measure out and set aside so much
wheat, oats and corn for their feed,
and if you do not think her work
about the house pays for this feed

charge it up to the flock. To give her
fair start, get her good 100-eGg in
cubator. and brooder of correspond
ing size, so that she can raise early
chickens
Any girl of average intelligence can
learn to manipulate simply con-
atructed incubator, or at. least did,
and my machine was the first one
ever saw. l am now earning moro
money than several of my girl friends
who are stenographers and clerks in
the city.
Poultry raising is business that
calls for brains, and 1t is a business
that will grow. 1t is not overcrowd,
ed you are rot subjected to the
whims of all exacting employer; you
are not forced to live in a tfl1rd-class
boarding house; there is no car fare
to pay; and best of all, the girl can
stay right at home with the dear
mother.

Interior walls there are chiefly of plas.

are much used.

Food for Sheen.

Sheep should be well fed with good
food, and variety of rich feed rather
than a great quantity. Hay, grains
and roots make fat sheep, and if we
raise the mutton breeds we must feed
for size and early development.

CLARA BUTT is
A MUSICAL
GIANT

Clara Butt, the. English contralto
who fitted in and out of Honolulu
last night, is more than q singer, she
is musical phenomenon.
In volume o. voice and in range,
she towers above any other feminine
singer Honolulu has heard, and in
stature she lowers over the average
Moman-or the average man. for that
matter. She is as monumental in
throat equipment as in physique. Her
tones are stupendous. gripping in
power and often enchanting in musl-
cal content.
One speaks of this woman in super
laliyes. She sang with superlatiye
ease, filling the great Earn-like audi
forum OF the Liberty theater, with a
booming contralto that overwhelmed
the hard-struea piano, that conquered
difficulties of space and echo, and that
even the shrieking o. street-cars pass
ing on an adjacent curve scarcely
could mar. Without visible effort she
hurls her splendid middle register
tones at the audience like shells
from a thiFteen-ineh gun.
AS to her artistry, critics differ
widely and greatly, and last nights
performance would not settle the ques-
ton for local critics. She was dis
tfnctly at a disadvantage in the audi
torium, in the hurry with which the
concert was pulled offf-for that's
the best word for it-aIid in the fact
that her program was peculiarly ar
ranged. Alternating with her husband,
KennerIey Rumiord. she sang long
stretches without leaving the stage.
the audience and singer naturally
feeling the lack of variance. Her
songs were muta alike, or rather. IN
the great Liberty auditorium any
songs are much alike.
Kenneriy Rumford has a pleasing
baritone but it seemed light In the
big theatre, and he sang so many
songs in succession that 1t grew posi-
lively monotonous. In a balconied
and, aalleried theatre, bringing the
audience in closer touch with the ar.
list, there would have been an entire.
~ different story for both Nine. Butt
and Mr. Rumford.
The contralto and her husband
chung mostly to the ballad form last
night and after Honolulu's long grand
opera season, the change was rather
refreshing. Their offerings were for
the most part simple. although Nine.
Butt did not fafter at an exceedingly
difficult Handel number. She has a
wonderful voice for oratorio and Han
del suits her to nicely. In lighter
work she is, well at home, displaying
q gay ease and tenderness that = no
less than remarkable in view of her
normal Volume of sound. However, it
is this very marked difference in quail.
ity, a triple voice equipment, as It
were, that classes her as musical
phenomenon.
The concert began al, 80 and there
was hardly a moments intermission
until $50, when the singers and
their clever accompanist. Mr.. Harold.
Craxton, made their last bows, decor
ated with leis and smiling. Then they
were rushed to the Australian boat
and sailed away.

negro SOUGHT BY
POSSE KILLS SELF
Body Of Suspected Slayer Of Girl
Found.

Lexington. Mo-, Aug. %. -
The body Of George Winfield,
the negro accused OF the murder
of Estelle Potter, the 14-year-old
girl here Tuesday. was found
late yesterday afternoon in the
Missouri river near here. The
negro had committed suicide by
cutting his throat.
Apparently the negro had
stood in the water when he cut
his throat, as the arteries were
completely severed. A number
of men from Lexington identi-
fed the body, which was badly
decomposed. Sheriff Wadell said
he believed the negro had killed
himself the same day he murder
ed Estelle Potter.
The finding of the body ended
one of the most exciting man
hunts this section has ever eX-
perienced. Since the finding
Tuesday afternoon of the child,
her throat cut from ear to ear,
the whole county has been alive
with armed bands of farmers
determined to take the law into
their own hands.
The temper of the searchers
was shown when a suspect was
arrested at Hardin. Although
the negro was hurried to Nor.
borne, supposedly in secret, ten
minutes after his arrival a moi
of 200 bowling farmers were
outside the Norborne Jail. Only
the pacifying words of a deputy
sheriff prevented the crowd from
taking the suspect from the
officers. Half an hour Later
! Sheriff Wadell arrived from Lex

ington and as he could not iden-
tify the negro as WINFIELD, the
suspect was released.
Estelle Potter quarreled with
Winfield, who was employed on
the Potter farm, on Monday
when she ordered him to peel
some peaches. The negro obey
ed in anger. The next morning
the negro saddled the child's
pony for her trip to summer
school. which she was attending,
but did not return to the Potter
house, as had been his custom.
When Estelle failed to return
from school, a search was made.
In a ravine half a mile from the
Potter home. the child's body
was found.
