KINDNESS SHOWN TO FOWLS
Excellent Practice to Call 5irds TO
Their Feed With Low Whistle
Should Not Disturb.

Did you ever stop to consider that
Kindness pays just as well in the barn
ward as in the home? Laying fowls
like bees, sting when disturbed bY
quick motions o. otherwise, the only
difference being that the sting is in
the pocketbook Fowls to produce
well nust be kept tame At feed time
when the birds are hungry, and you
have from one to five minutes time
that cam be spared, sit or kneel down
at tie usual feeding place with the
bucket of feed, and throw out a lit
tie of the feed near you, gradually
shortening the distance from day to
d4y. In this way the birds may be
made to approach rather close, and
after few trials they will usually eat
from ones hand.
Avoid hasty passing by windows or
openings of poultry houses and do not
enter suddenly. Sometimes 1t is well
to draw the birds attention so that
they will not be taken by surprise and
pile into a Garner or try to get out by
way of the roof. When walking among
the birds, do so with slow, deliberate
step. 1t is also good practice to call
the birds to their feed with low
whistle and to use this same whistle
when entering the pen, or when the
birds are disturbed in any way.

CHICKENS MUST HAVE SHADE
Average PouItryman May Lose Sew
eraI Hens Before He Realizes
That Heat Is Responsible.


(By J. G. HALPIN. Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture)
Not disease, but lack of shade, is
responsible for many poultry losses
in summer The average poultryman
may lose several hens before he real
ICES that heat Is responsible for then
death, or he may expose young chick
to hot sunshine too soon. A your
chick hatched during hot weatbe
must not be put out in the hot SUI
until after it is several days old, and
must be gradually accustomed to the
sun. Otherwise the sun may blistor
its tender skin, SO that even thousA
it is not killed outright, it is greatly
weakened.
For shade, a corn field, small patch
of sunhowers, shrubbery and bushes
Of any sort, as well as fruit or shade
trees, are very satisfactory. Many
times something could be accom-.
plished along this line by turning the
houses around so that they face north
and thus shade the chicks Portable
colony houses with solid floors can be
raised a foot or more off the ground so
that the chicks can get under them for
shade. Old doors and objects Of that
sort can be used for shade by driving
four stakes into the ground, and ele.
waiting the north end Of the door some
three or four feet from the ground
while the south end is only about q
| foot from the ground Small duck
lings and goslings are even more sub.
iect to sun stroke than the chickens
and so should be guarded with espe-
cial care.

Fine Mothers for Chicks.

Turkeys make fine mothers for
chickens. In France they persuade
the turkey hen to sit before she has
laid an egg. They hll box too mar
row for the hen to stand upright in,
with hay, to within ~ inches Of the
top, give the turkey good feed of
grain and some eggs, fasten her down
and leave till the next day, when she
is taken off to feed and water. In four
days 1t is claimed she is ready to
adopt the nest and eggs, and can be
given the eggs to be hatched.

BAD ACCIDENT To
BOY AT RUSTAD
LITTLE SON OF MERCHANT
kIRKHoRN A VICTIM OF A
RUNAWAY - RIDES DISTANCE
: BETWEEN WAGON BOX AND
WHEEEs-sERloUs INJURIES.

A boy II years of age, son OF Ras-
mus P. Ktrkhorn, the we'll known gen
.eral merchant at Rustad, was the VIC
tim of q cruel accident opposite his
fathers store yesterday afternoon and
1t was witnessed by tombstone Wag-
ner of this city.
The lad entered a wagon which was
attached to a heavy farm team. The
horses were more or less bothered with
flies and with tossing it's head about
the bride Of one of the animals be-
came detached from Its head. Finally
the horses became so FESTIVE that they
made a bolt up the street. With the
sudden lurch of the wagon the boy was
thrown oil and he fell between the box
and front wheels. In this cruel posi-
ton the boy, hanging over the axle,
carried until the team and wagon
bounded over a heavy plank crossing
the jar Of which released the boy and
the latter fell to the ground, the hind
wheels Of the wagon passing over his
body. When rescued young Kirkhorn
was found unconscious with one leg
broken, his collarbone badly fractured
and his face badly cut and one ear
nearly severed. The injuries were at
tended to by DR.. Verne of this city who
happened to. be in the village.
Mr.. Wagner says the sight was a
one to see and when he left Rus
tad last evening 1t was feared that the
injured boy would not recover.

The treaty with Nicaragua.

Chicago Journal: The only resern-
blance between the treaty with Nicar-
aqua proposed by the Wilson admin
istration and the scheme evolved by
advisers of former President Taft is
that both plans seek to restore order
in a distracted country.
Taft would have forced q loan on
the Nicaraguan government. Wilson
would buy from that government a
perpetual option on the Lake Nicar-
aqua canal route. The scheme that
failed would have made Nicaragua less
independent than any state in the
union. The plan now proposed leaves
that country free to do anything that
a wise and civilized government would
to have done.
Under the circumstances, the pro-
posed treaty seems the best plan avail
able. 1t Is. open. honorable. clean. It
is free from faint Of privilege. 1T
makes for peace and good government.
Unless some senator has a better de-
vice for preventing anarchy and fore
stalling European interference N re-
gion so close to the Panama canal, the
treaty with Nicaragua should be ac-
cepted

VERY EXPENSIVE
ROAD PROPOSITION

An important conference was held at
Stockwood this morning between
farmers, represented by Atty. j. M.
Witherow, and General Manager Good
ell, General Superintendent Nichols, the
general engineer and superintendent
Sovereign of the Northern Pacific. The
farmers desire the road. fixed at the
point of the big fill and concrete arch
which collapsed some time ago. Not
all of the farmers are a unit as to
what they want and the railway COM
pany realize, and they demonstrate to
the people interested, that to do what
is wanted is to surmount a very ex-
pensive and difficult problem. Mr..
Goodell told the farmers that the COM
pany was willing to give all the re-
lief possible, but nothing could be
done until the company's engineer had
investigated all of the conditions and
had submitted his report as to the eff
fective thing to do, and the probable
cost. The best of feeling was lain
tanned between the partiesSand the Of
fcials promised to take the matter un-
der consideration with the least posi-
BILE delay. The fill is one of consider
able distance and over fifty feet deep.

Senator EaIl and Mexico.

Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch: One OF
the disclosures of the congressional
directory biographies is the fact that
Senator Fall is largely interested In
Mexican mining industries. Some
persons have been cruel enough to
connect that circumstance with the
senator's eagerness for armed inter-
ventfon by the United States between
the factions now c~ontending for the
control of the country. The senator,
1T is true, may be innocent of any in
tent to send the United States to war
to save his mining interests, but there
is a state of affairs here that rouse
a suspicion thatshe may be thinking
quite as much Of himself as of the
rest Of us.

Which Is an u%ndisputed as well as
indisputable saying. It's a pity that
some of the critics Of the secretary of
state do not devote less time to such
brilliant examples of reasoning as this
and more to proving that the Ameri-
can premier has neglected his duties.
