Growing Chicks.

1t Is now about time to look over
the growing stock and note how II
Is doing individually. 1t Is time to
separate the weak from the strong, II
that has not already been done. Re-
member that the weak stock, If you
intend to raise and not kill it of,
needs extra care. The hardy one can
pick and scramble and get sufficient
food for their well-being Not SO
with the weaker brothers and sisters
Might usually means right in a chicken
cosp. and the strong chicks will crowd
or peck the weaker ones away from
the food
1t means watchfulness while feed
ing; 1t means separation. Get the
weaker into a pen by themselves and
feed them plenty. When not on free
range where they can get plenty of
insects, worms and vegetable life they
must be given IT. They crave them as
much as they want the grain food. And,
moreover. they are the most valuable
aids to the strength Of all chicks.
Don't forget that they demand nne
grit also, else they cannot grind up
the food. This is true even of chicks
on range. An extra supply must De
before them all the time. In that way
you are assured they get enough.
Most chicks are about ready for
roosts. No doubt many OF them are
on the roosts already. Care must be
taken about this question OF roosts.
See that the roosts are not too small.

possible. The houses should be kept clean
and dry and occasionally disinfected.
If the disease appears Notwithstanding
these precautions isolate the infected
fowls at once at distance from the we'll
ones, and apply disinfectants freely about
the house and runs. Also place sufficient
permanganate of potash in all drinking
water to give the latter a deep red color.
If the disease appears of a severe type
it is often better to kill the entire flock
and. after thorough cleaning and disin-
lection of the premises. to begin with
new birds. This radical method avoids
the retention of birds which may harbOr
the contagion and cause the development
of subsequent outbreaks"
Which is treating the subject the way 1t
should be treated. There Is one point
that Mr.. Salmon does not make clear,
however: When birds are kept in unclean
surroundings, in filthy coops. where the
air is continually foul, there is much
more danger of the disease spreading rap
idly throughout the flock. Birds kept in
such .coops cannot retain the necessary
vitality to fight off the ravages Of the
disease. Before you know 1t birds In a
bad coup attacked by roup will be SO
badly affected that there is hardly q
chance to save them. They cannot assist
you in your treatment. Birds that are
strong and healthy will almost throw of
the roup germs themselves, Just as strong
human beings that keep clean and get
plenty of fresh air and exercise.
| have often wondered IL the poultry
yard represents the character Of the man
or woman who owns it. Will untidy peO-
Ipie have untidly coups? VIII the man who
does not know the value OF physical exer-
else keep his fowls busy? VIII the man
who is careful about his own food be just
as careful about the food he gives to his
chickens?
When looking for roup, it should be re-
membered, as has been said before In this
column, that not all watery nostrils mean
, roup. Common colds, as Mr.. Salmon re-
marks, are somewhat similar at first to
roup. When rOup gets under way il can

The Passing of the Hudson Shad.
From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
The explanation that Lew Rodgers and
other shad fishermen have abandoned
the lower Hudson because 1t is ..fshed
out" leaves something to be said The
Hudson is no longer the haunt OF the
shad for the reason that it's waters are
poisonous to that toothsome fish, Time
was, and not so many years ago, when
the Hudson shad furnished dish for
epicures and a cheap food for the poor
Roe shad weighing three and four pounds
sold for as little as Is cents apiece in
good seasons when the market was well
uppled. But as acids and oils were
poured into the river from chemical
works and factories the Hudson shad
lost its flavor and actually tasted Of the
source of pollution.
The local shad grew fat and soft and
was evidently degenerating-even a fish
can be unhealthy. The dealers no longer
recommended it to customers as long as
Delaware shad remained In the markets
Thus an honest and useful industry de-
clined and the consumer was deprived
Of one Of the most delicious OF food fishes
and one of the cheapest.
Conservation was not a public question
when shad used to come up in myriads
from the sea In spring to spawn In the
Hudson AS one female deposited from
10000 to 10000 eggs the supply or fsh
seemed to be inexhaustible. Laws pro-
hibititing pollution OF the river would

lower Hudson. but the magnificent sturg.

Whether it is too late to redeem any
nart of the Hudson as a habitatiOn fol

Leg Weakness.

Leg weakness in chicks is sometimes
caused by overlooking of fat-producing
foods. which cause the body to grow too
fast to be sustained by the legs The
heavier breeds are naturally more sus-
ceptible than the lighter breeds. The
lighter breeds. being more effective for
ayers, are constantly running about,
scampering for food, and in that way,
though they eat fattening foods, the ex-
ercise makes their legs strong and they
work off the fatty condition at the same
time.
The heavier breeds must, therefore, be
made to scratch for their food as much
as possible. Feed them grain in litter.
They will be compelled to work to satisfy
| their hunger
To a great extent birds on range are
not subject to leg weakness. 1t is the
man on the small place, who is compelled
| TO keep his youngsters In close conf1ne-
ment that suffers most. Oftentimes ne
can prevent it. too, by feeding bone and
muscle making material. Raw meat, In
| which there is a good quantity OF granu-
lated bone. is beneficial when fed. once or
| twice a week, but not oftener. 1t should
/ be fed in a hopper. and only small
quantity should be purchased at time,
| because 1t will get moldy. Skim milk Is
| good also. Be sure the birds have plenty
of fresh air and fresh earth. Keep the
coops clean.
| Leg weakness is often hereditary. and il
| is often brought on by overheated brood
ers 1t comes in many cases from damp
ness and overcrowding. Hereditary weak
ness and brooder weakness are marc to
overcome Birds that have leg weakness

CHAPTER XXI.
The whlrIInn Of tho Wheel.

ne WnlTlinH OF INC WHICH,
AS old as church or cloister, the
massive wheel of the Mount had, in
the past, played prominent part in the
affairs Of succeeding communities on
the rock. 1t, or the hempen strand 1t
controlled, had primarily served as
link between the sequestered jewellers,
and the fesh-pots and material COM
forts of the lower world. Through its
use had my lord, the abbot, been ever
enabled to keep full the mighty wine
butts of his cellars; to provide good
cheer for the tables of the brethren,
and to brighten his cold stone interiors
with the fresh green's Of Flemish tap
estry, or the sensuous hues Of rugs
and fabrics from seraglio or mosque.
Times less ancient had likewise
claimed Its services, and even in re-
cent years, by direction of his Excel
lency, the Governor, had it occasional
ly been used for the hosting Of goods,
wares, or giant casks, oVercumber-
some for men or mules.
Toward this simple monkish con-
trivance, the SUBMITS rough lift, or
elevator, wherein serfs or henchmen
had walked like squirrels In a cage to
bring solace to generations Of isolated
dwellers, the Black Seigneur had at
first stepped impetuously; then
stopped, hardly breathing, to look over
his shoulder at the door that had been
left unfastened. An involuntary ques-
ton flashing through his brain-the
cause Of this seeming carelessness-
found almost immediate answer in his
mind, and the certainty that he stood
not there alone-a consciousness Of
some one else, near, became abruptly
confirmed.
What are you doing. soldier?" A
voice, rough, snarling. drew swiftly his
glance toward a presence, intuitively
OWNED; an understood. grotesque fig
ure that had entered the place but a
few moments before and now appeared
rom behind boxes and casks where
he had been about to retire to his
mattress in corner.
What do you want?" repeated this
person, the anger and viciousness on
his distorted features, revealed in the
moonlight from the large opening, like
that of some animal unwarrantedly
disturbed.

The words, scarcely begun, above his

the departing figure of the old custo.
dian, crossed quickly to the opposite
window, and, from this point Of want
age, gazed up after the young man
rapidly vanishing in the track Of the
moonlight. A moment the onlooker
stood motionless; then, ere the figure,
so wildly defined in shine and SHIN
mer, had reached the top Of the stair
way, made an abrupt movement and
swiftly left the window and the pass
age.
At the head Of the steps, which
without further incident or Interrupt
ton, he reached, the Black Seigneur,
stepping to the shadow Of q small
bush against the wall, glanced about
him; with knit brows and the resolute
manner of one who has come to some
definite conclusion, he left the spot Of
observation, almost the apex of the
Mount, and plunged diverging to the
right. From CLINT and gllmmer to dark
ness unfathomable! For some time
he could only grope and feel his way,
after the fashion of the blind; fortu-
nately, however, was the path narrow;
although tortuous, fairly well paved,
and no serious mishap befell him,
even when he walked forward regard
lessly, in feverish haste, beset with
the conviction that time meant all in
all, and delay the closing Of the tolls
and the failure OF a desperate adven-
| ture. Several times he struck against
the stones; once fell hard, but picked
himself up; went on the faster, only,
after what seemed an interminable
period, to stop.

man put out his hand to the door;
tried IT.; pushed It back and entered.

at the sky, framing a multitude of
