RICHARD EDWARD MILLET
CROSSES GREAT DIVIDE.

After an illness of five weeks,
Richard Edward Millei, one of
Hickman S oldest and most hon
ored citizens, died at his home
in this city Tuesday afternoon at
1 o clock. Death was really un-
expected. He was much improv-
ed Sunday, but suffered a re-
lapse Monday and gradually sank.
Bowel disorders, together with
the infirmitics of age, are assign
ed as the cause of death.
Mr.. Millet was past ~ years of
age, but possessed the mental and
activity OF "A man half
as old. For several years past
he has taught bookkeeping for
Hickman College, and was con
sldered an expert accountant.
lie enjoyed activity; which doubt
less contributed largely TO his
well balanced poise and ability
10 bear up SO lightly under the
weight OF four score years. lie
had been associated with the so
cial and business life OF HEX
man for more than half cen
'tury. In the early sos, Mr.. Mil
let embarked in the general mer-
chandise business here, coming
from Louisville, where he was
born and reared. His store was
located in what is now known as
the Buchanan building, which was
erected by him This business he
conducted for several years, but
retired and later followed with
splendid success the profession Of
expert accountant. He also serv-
ed a short time as sheriff of this
county, having been appointed 10
serve ont an Wnexpired term, and
was city judge for three terms.
For a short time he was associat-
ed with 4. Case in the grocery
business, but we are unable to
give the date of this venture.
When nineteen years of age,
Millet was united in marriage
with Miss Alevia Atwell. of
Louisville. To this union were
born three sons-llarry, George
and Jack II. Millet, and only the
last named survive him. He is
also survived by u half sister,
Miss Rose Millet, of Louisville,
KY, and a half brother, Marvin
Millet, of Russellville, ny.
Funeral services were conduct

which will give excellent results under
certain conditions, but there is no
way OF determining which type is
best suited to different localities and
individuals. 1t Is desirable, If pos
sible, to buy incubators on trial The
instructions accompanying incubators
should be thoroughly mastered and
carefully followed
When chicks are raised with hens,
q brood coop will be found very con
venient. This coop should be ~ feet
by feet and 2 feet high in front. 1t
should have a hinged top, providing
easy access to the interior. The coops
should have covered runs. In which
the chicks may be kept during the
first few weeks. These runs protect
the chickens from straying and being
caught in storms, and also from their
many enemies. Chicks will do as we'll
in these runs at first as on range.
Brood coops with board floors and
runs are specially valuable where
there is danger Of gapes. The coop
and run should, however, be shifted
to new ground frequently.
Young chicks are raised on all kinds
and combinations of feeds and success

cessful sometimes, L. not to be rec
commended, and its use is not likely
to secure the best OF most rapid
growth and development of the chicks.
Probably the most satisfactory ration
for young chicks. for the first few
meals. is bread moistened with milk
or water and squeezed dry. A small
amount Of grit or sharp sand may be
mixed with the bread. An ample
supply of chick grit is always desir-
able in feeding young chicks. 1t may
be mixed with the feed or spread on
the floor Of the coop or run. After
the first few days the bread may be
omitted and a mash, somewhat SINH
lar to the mash fed to the laying hens,
may be given morning and evening,
with two or three feds of finely
cracked grains or chick feed during
the day. Cracked corn. cracked wheat
and pin-head oats, mixed in equal
proportions, makes a fairly satisfac-
tory grain mixture.
Much care must be exercised in
feeding young chicks the first few
days, At least one-half of the ration
should be small grains scattered in
straw or char so that the chicks may
secure some exercise. Green feed
should be supplied daily. For this
purpose, lettuce. chopped onion tons.
green clover or grass are excellent.
and when these are not available
mangles or potatoes viii give good
results. After the chicks are weaned
and turned out on the range. hopper

BEGIN WITH BEES
IN EARLY SPRING
In Purchasing Colonies 1t Is De.
sirabIe to Buy From Neigh
bors-Examine the Hives.

The best time to begin bee keeping
is in the spring after flowers begin
to appear. In purchasing colonies, 1t
is desirable to buy from some neigh.
Dor and to look the hives over care
fully. first to see that there are plenty
of bees and brood. and. second, that
the store of honey is good. A heavy
colony is better than a light one, be.
cause it shows vigor and plenty of
stores. says the Northeast Home
stead. Always be willing to pay a
higher price for strong colony than
for a weak one. because weak ones re-
quirs. great care to make them strong
again. The bee keeper from whom
the purchase is made will give hints
as to removal and care at the start
IL is desirable to move the colony with
as little jar as possible and to put it
at once in the place it is to occupy for
the season. As to the kind of bee to
keep. the Italian is at present the
most popular because of Its ability
to work and its comparative mildness
of temper. 1t is quieter than tho
black bee, which formerly was the
favorite. Several other races of bees
have been introduced. but have not
become as well known rs these two.
Every beginner should at least shaye
one first-class book on bee keeping.

Poultry
Raised

mash, cracked wheat or corn. meat
scraps or grit, may be kept before
them after they have reached six or
eight weeks of age, with perfect
safety. In addition to the feed in the
boxes, it is often desirable to give one
feed OF wet mash a day and possibly
a feed of some kind of grain other
than that kept in the hoppers.
Care should be taken that the
chicks do not become crowded in
brooders or coops. and as they grow
larger coops should be provided or
the size of the focks reduced from
time to time. Many fiocks of young
chickens are delayed in maturity or
stunted in growth from cro@ding in
coops or breeders at night. With the
exception of leghorns, there is no par
ticular gain in separating the sexes Of
the growing focks until the male
birds are to be fattened for market
At this time a separation should be
made as it is not desirable to give
the same ration to growing pulleta
and market stock.
By far the most important trouble
affecting young chicks is diarrhoea
This is not, strictly speaking, a dis
ease but symptom accompanying
several disorders. In a general way
anything that unfavorably affects the
health and vigor of the chicks will pro
duce it. Diseased breeding stock, i'm
proper methods of incubation and
brooding, improper feeding, too much
or too little heat or insufficient ex.
ercise may produce it. The best pre-
ventive is careful attention to these
details. Incubators, nests, coops and
brooders should be thoroughly disin.
fected. Frequently it is possible to
relieve the trouble and check its
spread by feeding boiled rice and
scalded milk.
Gapes is caused by the presence OF
cape worms in the windpipe of the
chicken. Infection is from the ground
and when any location is known to be
infected 1t is unwise to attempt to
raise chickens upon it. Either a new
location should be secured where
there is no infection, or chicks should
be kept on board floors until danger
is past. Probably more infection
occurs through the flsh-worm than
any other source. To- correct a gen.
eral misrepresentation 1t should be ex.
planned that fshworms do not cause
gapes until they come from infected
soil.
It is desirable to use lime and other
disinfectants about coops and runs
but as far as Is known there is no way
Of exterminating the cape worm after
the soil has become infected. except
by keeping the chicks off of 1t entirely
for year or two. For affected chicks,
a twisted horsehair or some similar
continuance for extricating the worms
is probably most effective. Rubbing
the outside of the throat with lard
and turpentine and dropping little
creolin into the windpipe sometimes
effects cures.

The revival OF discussion on the
falling birth-rate recalls some of the
schemes of statesmen and others to
encourage the rearing of large fami-
lies. Pitt, for example, said that they
should make relief in cases where
there was a large number of children
a matter of right and honor, instead
Of ground of opprobrium and con.
tempt, and he added that that would
make large family blessing, and
not curse. Napoleon offered to take
under his own charge one member of
any family which contained seven
male children. And Louis XIV, for
whom no extravaganza was too great,
had exempted from public taxes Vail

twenty, or had more than ten legiti
mate children.
