GUINEAS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Young Birds Must Be Watched Care
fully Until Past Tender Age-Of
Very Wild Nature.

Guinea hens are among the hardest
Of all birds to breed, chiefly because
the young guinea is so extremely ten
der They are also of very wild
nature, and when one of them is lost
from the hen 1t may be counted as
lost. 1t is advisable to keep the young
guineas shut up for a few days after
they are Matched and feed them on
bread crumbs, coarse corn meal and
occasionally hnrd-boiled egg, ground
fine and mixed with the bread crumbs
After they leave the hen, II the days
are warm and bright, they are allowed
to hunt bugs and worms and require
little feeding. After they are feath
cred out they need little care. as they
are able to shift for themselves until
the winter cuts off their supply of
food.
In winter they must have a shelter
and be fed the same as other poultry,
but must be kept shut in when there
is snow on the ground as they will
fly into the tops OF trees or on roofs
of buildings. and refuse to come down.

Winter Feed for Poultry.

One OF the best and most relished
winter feeds for poultry Is cabbage,
says writer in an exchange. Even
though there Is an abundance of
other green vegetable matter,
should still strive to add some cab
bage to the list
1t is true that there Is nothing
quite as good for the hens as a grow
ing crop, such as rye, over which they
can range and thus combine exercise
with food getting, and every effort
should be made to provide it, hut
often space is too limited for such
crops, and dependence must be had
altogether on substitutes that can be
stored away.

FAILED TO SPECIFY TRIP
Under the Circumstances Official Nat

Friends Remark.

A Kansas City official Of the Co
lossal railroad was one of a number
of directors on a recent trip to the
Pacific coast, an excursion which
combined a little business with much
junket. They were gone about ten
days and fortnight elapsed after
his return home when he was called
to Ohio to attend the funeral of his
wife's mother. One Of his associ-
ates, who had heard of the hilarity
INDUCED in on the western trip, but
knew nothing of the later journey
to Ohio, met the official at a club
after his return and paused a second
to greet him.
"Howdy, colonel. guess you had
grand time while you were away,
didn't your" and he gave a sagacious
smile to show that he had heard
about it.
The other looked up from his pa
per and grunted "uh-uh" with an ex-
preston of vague surprise.
The friend went on to the billiard
room to join some of his intimatcs,
and in a few minutes the official got
up and followed him.

arm, "what did you mean by asking

TAUGHT FlEDGLINGS TO SING

The real musicians are the birds
and it is interesting to know that the
Jouug fiedghngs, in some cases al
least, have regular singing lesson;
from the mother. \ wren whose
nest was in a box near n country
house was watched by the family as
she patiently instructed her LITTLE
ones. Placing herself on one side
of the opening, and in front of her
pupils she first sang her entire song
very distinctly. One little huttercr
opened its mouth and tried to follow
her; but after few notes It's voice
gave out and it lost the tune. Nam.
ma Wren Immediately took up tn,
melody at that point, and sang il
through as clearly as possible, wher
the youngstcr tried it again and fin,
ishcd triumphantly.
Then the mother sang again, and
another nesting followed her, break,
ing down as the first had done, and
beginning afrcsh. Sometimes there
were three or four failures before the
tune was carried through; but the
wren always began where the little
one broke down and sang to the end
These singing lessons lasted for somt
time, and several of them were givel
every day.
