Edward Fenno Pitts

The death of Edward Fenno Pitts,
which occurred Saturday last, May 16.
recalls to many in Augusta one whose
active life was terminated IL years
ago. For all those years he suffered
from locomotor ataxia, and though
brilliant of mind and active in cordial
interest for all the many and varied
occurrences which marked the larger
life of city and nation, he was him
self obliged to live one circumscribed
life and his lot was one of unusual
trial
Patience and remarkable fortitude so
marked his later life that in learning
the lesson of the years he also taught
others what he himself had learned
by his own experience
Three years ago he desired to accept
Christianity. He was baptized and was
subsequently confirmed by Bishop
Goldman. Such a personal matter
would hardly be of public note. save
that it marked both joy for his own
sad life and was a witness to others
which he desired those who had known
him best to be acquainted with.
Mr. Pitts was the son of James Cox
and Mary Fenne Pitts. He was So
years of age, having been born Feb.
90 1s49, in the house where he died.
The surviving relatives are two sis
tiers, Mrs. Emily C. Chase and Mrs.
Abby j. Written, a niece, Miss Caro-
line F. Chase all of Augusta, and a
nephew, Frederick w. Written of Col
umbus, Ohio.
The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock
Tuesday next at the family home 15

Maude Adams at Portland.

The company surrounding Maude
Adams on her present tour was Sc
lected with the utmost care and the
result is that the presentation of Bar
rie's Peter Pan" has been described
as being of such all round excellence
that it is an artistic delight. Miss
Adams devoted a great deal Of time
to the preparation for the revival OF
tho fairy play and she had many peo-
pie go through the rehearsals before
she finally made her selections of the
players who are now being seen with
her. OF course, everyone knows that
Peter Pan is all make believe, and
very delightful make believe, and one
of the charming things about it's pres
entation is the earneStnesS with which
the actors interpret the various roles.
They all instil into the work the feel
ing that to them Barrie's characters
are all real flesh and blood. There is
great deal of what is known as bust
ness" in the play and it is all carried
out with the utmost precision OF de-
tail The production is a heavy one,
the final act showing three changes OF
scene, concluding with that atmos-
phericaly beautiful picture of Peter
playing on his reeds in his little house
in the tree tops. Among those who
will be seen in the numerous company
surrounding the actress when she

PRACTICAL TALK ON POULTRY
Much Advice Given by Theorstleal
Writers Not Worthy Of coaad-
Grafton on Average Farm.

The advice commonly given in poul.
Try Wperu would require one to exer-
use nearly as much pains in the
cleaning Of a chicken house as in the
cleaning q a kitchen. Such advice
may be suitable for the city poultry
fanciers, but soAe Of il . out Of place
when given to the farmer. Poultry
raising, the same as any ether farm
work, must pay for the. labor put into
it, and this will not be the ease II at
tempt is made to follow. an the sug-
gestions Of Che theoretical poultry
raiser. 80 .
o The ease with which the premises
may be kept reasonably free from lit
ter and filth is a largely a matter Of
convenient arrangement. The handi.
est plan. from this viewpoint is the
colony system. n this the houses
are moved to- new locations as the
ground becomes soiled. II the chicken
house is stationary structure. 1t
should be built away from other
buildings, scrap-piles, fence corners,
etc., 80 that the, ground can be fire.
quently freshened BY plowing and
sowing In oats, rye OF rape The
ground should. be well sloped, so that
the water draining from the surface
may wash away much of the filth
that on level ground would accumu-
late. Cleanliness indoors can be
simplifed by proper arrangement.
First, the house must be dry. Poultry
droppings, when dry, are not a source
OF danger II kept out Of the feed.
This may be accomplished by pro-
Viding dropping boards under the
roosts. The dropplngs in the poultry
house should be removed often enough
to prevent foul odoH. It Is best to
clean 1t every day. Dry earth. gath.
cred In the fall and stored In bins, is
an excellent cleansing agent to use
on the dropping board of the chicken
house. Drinking vessels should be
rinsed out when refilled and not al
lowed to accumulate a coat Of slime.
Many poultry writer's give innumer-
able diseases and lists Of remedies
concerning which the average farm
poultryman needs no knowledge
whatever. There is very little def.
nitely known on the subject of poul-
1try diseases. Poultry ailments are
assignable to one of the three fellow.

second, unfavorable conditions Of food

FEEDING DAIRY CALF RIGHT
Youngster Should Be Allowed to Re
main With Mother Few Days,
Then Placed In separats Barn.

The calf may be left with the COW
LOT three or four days, or until the
MIX Is fit for use. The calf should
tnen DO taken away and place In a
separate stable, II 1t is possible, as
the COW win give less trouble. II she
cannot see her calf.
BY missing one feed the calf win
usually be hungry enough to start to
drink readily and will usually give,
little trouble when it finds the bucket
contains milk. Four pounds Of milk
per feed three time a day for the first
ten days will give the calf a good
start, when a small amount Of skim
milk may be substituted for a part Of
the whole milk, the amount of the
Skim milk being increased, 80 that
when the calf Is a month old 1t Is get
tlng skim milk entirely. When the
call is two weeks old the feeds may
be changed to two per day, with the
amount Of milk increased as the calf
shows ability to handle it. After three
weeks the calf will begin to eat little
grain. An excellent grain mixture for
calves is made of corn meal, oats and
wheat bran in equal parts, with lit
tie linseed meal added.
To grow calves we'll they should
have just what they will clean up
readily at each feed. Plenty Of green
grass Is good for them, but In very
hot or very cold weather q fine quail
ity Of clover hay will produce excel
lent results.
Calves should have milk until they
are five or six months old for best
results. II they are forced to subslst
on coarse feeds and grain too young
they will be stunted as their digestive
system is not developed enough to
handle such food exclusively at an
early age.
Cotton-seed meal should never be
fed to calves under twelve months Of
age. 1t always proves detrimental to
development Of the young calf. This
being true, It is better to feed such
feeds as oats, bran and corn, which
are known to be satisfactory. To 30
cure good size the animal should con
tinue to grow steadily until mature.
If allowed to stop growing, through
neglect in feeding or other causes.
they become more or less stunted.
