Banquets.
From the Chicago Tribune


Distinguished citizens o. LONDON must
have been ating more than was good for
them. protest against the crudity and ,
cruelty OF doing honor TO guests by eaf-
ing outlets at them arises probably from
some failure of gastric juices. Possibly
banquet is not the most intellectual
nor spiritual means OF revealing affection
and indicating esteem. but a suitable sub
stitute does not offer itself. We'd hardly
prefer to have the celehrants sit white
robed in solemn thought and by cerebra-
tons without words testify 10 their re-
spect for the honored guest. And il We
were TO escape banquets only to walk into
the lecture hall and md the guest fed
only words there would be no thanks for
the relief. 1t may be that the ancients
invented hsnquets to give grace to gorE=
ing. or ii may be that food was Joined To
words to reduce the auditor 70 a state or
happy lethargy, in which he would not
be restless and forlorn under a lombard
ment of speeches. In either accomplish
ment the banquet might be forgiven many
faults. II folk are to come together and
in assembiage show their love for their
fellow-r1lan and reveal their confidence
in life, they must have something tn get
them away from the tag end of n days
troubles. and food. is fuel for their social
impulses.

Lew Hearn tells a rather funny story.
The stage manager of the Gaiety, where
he, Clifton Crawford and Bonita are play
ing with such success. had issued call
for a rehearsal of principals Thursday
afternoon. Hearn was the first to arrive
at the theater and read the notice and
he Immediately buttonhoed the stage
manager and informed him that it would
be utterly impossible for him to attend. as
he was ''burying his grandmother The
stage manager. while greatly surprised &c
hear that Hearn, who was an American
had a grandmother in England, expressed
his sympathy in proper terms and eS
cused him. Ten minutes later Bonita
arrived and. without seeing Hearn, tod
the same tale Of woe to the stage mar
ager.
Yes said the stage manager, in his
best consolatory voice. your husband
has just told me of your sad bereave-
ment"
For a moment Bonita almost laughed in
the kind-hearted little Englishman's
solemn face, but was able to restrai.,
herself until she got to her dressing
room. when she gave way to a fit oil
ager afterward describing to an EnglisH
member of the company as painful at
tack of hysteria."
About a quarter Of an hour later Cliff
ton Crawford entered the theater anG
after short. agitated stay at the buile-
tin board, also sought out the stage
manager.

Plants That Help Each Other

1t has been known that some plants
are benefited and some are injured by
association. Association seems to be
especially beneficial in case Of legu-
minous plants (peas. clover etc.), and
cereals or grasses Recent inYesti-
cations by the New York Cornell and
the New Jersey experiment stations
throw new light on the reasons for
this beneficial effect II appears that
the leguminous plants not only gather
nitrogen from the atmosphere by
means OF their root tubercle bacte
ria, and are, therefore, able to make
d large growth, but that some OF the
nitrogen so gathered is passed on to
the grain. grass or other non-legu-
minous plant associated with 1t.
The result is a larger growth of the
nonlegume and also a higher content
of protein, or heterogeneous material.
which considerably increases its value
as food for stock Such benefit has
been noted from the growth of clover
and timothy. alfalfa and timothy. and
oats and peas. Other combinations
have not been studied. The increased
growth of plants in combination over

at least very late in the season. The
plentiful fluff in the feathering OF
the hen keeps the chicks warm in
cold weather, so that the hens can be
set very early in the season with
good results. The chicks Matched
are alsd hardy and vigorous. This
is probably one of the reasons they
are more popular IN states SUBJECT
to low temperature.
The hens sit and hatch well, though
at times they may appear TO be a
little awkward. Being heavy fowls
it is always well to have the nests
near the ground or upon it. If these
nests are surrounded with narrow
rims, say not higher than two and q
half inches, there will be little cause
to complain of the eggs being broken
or rolling from the nest.
The hens make fine mothers, ana
they will raise nearly everv chick
Matched. The chicks are very pretty
when out of the shell. The little line
of down appearing on the side of the
leg, where later the feathers viii be,
gives the chicks a distinctive appear
ance. They lay large, buff -colored
eggs, which seem 10 be richer than
many other kinds Two of these eggs
will about equal in weight three eggs
of the smaller breeds
While other breeds lay more pro-
ILLEGALLY at times than the Brahmas,
yet the latter lay later in the year
and more steadily this fact, with the
added weight of the eggs. redeems the
loss in the number produced at one
time. Like most breeds, however, 1t
is the strain that counts in the mat
ter of egg production.
Brahmas cannot be eXcelled as
fowls for the table. Being such
large, heavy birds, they do not ma
ture so early as some breeds; but
their growth is fully as fast, If not
faster, and in the end a good gain is
made i'm the extra flesh obtained.
They will sometimes, also, add to
their weight the second year. This
not only gives a good deal of meat
per bird, but also serves to keep the
flesh tender: as a fowl that will add
flesh in this manner is more apt to be
tender than one that has attained its
growth. The young birds make fine
broilers, being well-1avored and ten
! der.
At six months of age, the young
cockerels for roasting purposes can
|, not be surpassed; at this time they
weigh from six to eight pounds each.
The standard weight for the males
when fully grown. Is twelve pounds;
pounds.
Brahmas have one defect-they
can. be overfed. This viii result in
q decrease of the egg yield, and in
their becoming overfat.
They are gentle and can easily be
| tanned While the male birds viii
fight. and fight persistently when
once they really begin, they are not,
as a rule. quarrelsome. particularly
is this the case II they knew each
other by being kept in a pen by them
selves before being placed with the
hens.
With marketing at the prevailing
| high prices, and dark Brahmas
weighing heavier than almost any
other breed of poultry; with the pros
pect of eggs selling more generally
by weight throughout the country, in
stead of by number and with Dark
Brahma hens laying large, heavy
eggs, they have every prospect of
| becoming much more popular in the
future than they have been in the
past.
