BR00DING THE CHICKS
GOOD START IN LIFE is MORE
THAN HALF THE BATTLE.
From Matching Time Until Festhersd

The brooding period embraces that
portion OF a chicks life from the time
1t is hatched until 1t is feathered and
ready for the colony house and Is a
most important and vital period, for
then is laid the foundation Of the fu-
ture.
There are two methods of brooding

that is necessary is comfortable
coop, not too warm. roomy and free
from drafts, kept clean and sprayed
literally with good liquid lice killer,
or. better still. poultry disinfectant.
Then, given proper feed, the hon will
do the rest.
Artificial brooders have two parts
a hover which is warmed and supplies
the heat to the chicks, and a nursery
or exercising room. In choosing a
brooder select one that is we'll built,
easily cleaned and in which the heat is
detected downward on the chicks

large and do not crowd the chicks.
keep II sweet and clean and cover the
floor with sand or fine chopped alfalfa
or clover.
Watch the Temperature.
The temperature under the hover
during the first week should be 80
degrees; then gradually reduce the
heat until 1t reaches 80 degrees. The
nursery should be about seventy de-
grees. AS much depends on the lamp

a clean burner and we'll trimmed wick.

the temperature from near the floor.
watching carefully. for overheating or
chilling chicks is equally disastrous,
and above all follow the directions
that come with the brooder.

The question Of brooding large colo
nies of several hundred chicks IN a
small room or house by the use of
brooder stoves has attracted much at
tention lately. These small coal or oil
burning stoves with large cone shaped
metal heat defiectors have been used
for many years in California and un-
doubtedly are great labor savers. The
hreless type of brooder, which de-
pends on thick. soft insulation TO con-
serve the natural heat OF the chick. as
well as portable hoyers. are also in
quite general and successful use.

THE COUNTRY IN THE CITY.

A few years ago there was much
talk and writing about the possibility
Of bringing the country into the
city" by means of tree planting, little
backyard gardens, flower boxes in
windows, and SO on. In Great Brit
ain, if memory serves, a national con-
ference was held to promote these
laudable local enterprises and Sumu-
late rivalry and emulation.
Mr.. FROST, ChicagO's city forester,
applies the term standardization"
to this movement. Evidently in the
last few years the distance between
the city and the country, "the real
country" as commuters say with
wisttul accent, has grown wider. The
intervening spaces are suburban, and
if we can suburbanize our business
and crowded residential quarters We
shall do well. But, call the process
what one will, trees, shade, flowers,
grass, little gardens are lovely and
attractive under any description

NEW EFFECTIVE FLY KILLER
Cod Liver Oil Declared to Be Far
More Valuable Than Anything
in Use.

Doctor Lang, government yeteri-
nary surgeon at Noumea, New Gale
donna, has just discovered a new vir-
tue in cod liver oil he finds it is a
powerful insecticide. He has used
it especially against certain flies that
are attracted by wounds upon horses
and cattle, Fostering the poor crea-
lures and infesting the sores. He
wipes the akin of the animal with
cod liver oil the flies come and are
instantly killed.
Doctor Lang says that ticks on
dogs and other animals are killed
by a drop of this oil. He recon-
mends hal when wounds are receiv-
ing the open-air and sunlight treat
ment they be covered with cod-liver
oil, as this will prevent any infec-
ton.
Cod liver oil poured on the sur
face Of Stagnant pools and marshes is
said to kill the Larvae Of mosquitoes
more surely and quickly than even
coal oil, over which it has this other
advantage-that it does not evapo-
rate.

NEWS BY TELEPHONE.

For q monthly payment Of about
S1.6O two Berlin publishers have Of
fered to supply telephone subscribers
in the German capital with a COM
bined telephone news and musical
service. 1t is understood that sub
scriberS will be rung up at regular
intervals throughout the day, and a
voice will tell them the news of the
hour from all parts of the world,
stock exchange prices, sporting re-
suits and everything of interest at
the moment.
The telephone newspaper is by no
means a new idea, for a good many
years ago the Telefon-H ismondo, or
Telephone News, was published in
Budapest. The staff consisted Of one
managing editor, four subeditors,
ten reporters and a number Of "tell-
ers," or telephone speakers. The sub
scribers, Of whom there were several
thousands, took up at a certain hour
every day telephone receivers sup
piled to them by the paper and lis
tened to the news which was spoken
to them by a teller in the editorial

REALLY THE GREAT PROBLEM
Curious Student Offered Question Far
Morn PuzzlIns Than the
Professors.

The conversation at a recent social
affair ran to great problems, when
Representative Samuel A. Wither-

of the question of a learned profess
sor.
The professor in question was in
structing a class in natural philoso-
ply, and during the lecture he
paused and impressively looked at
the class.
"If a hole were bored through the
center of the earth, from side to
side" said he, "and a ball dropped
into it, would it come to a state of
rest?"

There was a sound of revelry by

and brave men.
A thousand hearts beat happily;
and when
Music arose with its vOluptuous

Soft eyes looked love to eyes
which spake again,
And all went merry as a mar
riage bell.
But hush! bark; a deep sound
strikes like a rising knell,
Did we not year itY-NO; twas

Or the car rafting Ger the stony
street.
On with the dance! Let joy be
uncOnfined,
No sleep till morn, when Youth
and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with
flying feet!
But bark! that heavy sound
breaks in once more,
As if the clouds it's echo would
repeat;
And nearer, clearer, deadlier,
than before!
Arm! Arml 1t is-it is-the can

That sound the first amid the

And caught its tone with Deaths

And when they smiled because he

Which stretched his father on a
bloody bier,
And reused the vengeance blood

He rushed into the field, and
foremost fighting, fell.
All! then and there was hurrying
to and fro,
And gathering tears and tremb-

And cheeks all pale, which but az
hour ago
Blushed at the praise of their
own loneliness;
And there were sudden partings
such as press
The life from out young hearts,
and choking signs
Which ne 'er might be repeated
Who could guess
If ever more should meet those
mutual eyes
Since upon night so sweet such
awful morn could rise?

cRooUET PLAYED BY oAuLa.

The game of croquet, which has
again become 80 popular, is Of an
ancient origin, having been invented
by the Gauls. 1t was then known as
jeu de mail, and was so extensively
played that promenades were strewn
with these games, until the avenues
were called the mails" but in 1860,
when Charles II introduced it into
England, the name was anglicized
into pail mall, from which the noted
London thoroughfare has derived ita
name.

A Man of Peace.

Some policies of President
Wilson have been assailed in
these columns, and they viii be
aSsailed again, and persistently,
until some of them are changed
or defeated. But Woodrow Viii
son, the man, has. one great claim
to the everlasting gratitude of
the American people, a claim that
Mr.. Taft, also, would have earned
were he in the executive chair;
it is based on the fact that the
United States is at peace to-
day. Had the jingoism Of Hob
son and Theodore Roosevelt pre-
vailed, this continent might now
be torn by a struggle, smaller in
scope, but no less horrible, than
that raging on the continent of
Europe. Thanks to Woodrow
Wilson'S steadfast adherence to
the ways of peace, in face of a
widespread and hysterical clamor
for war, this country is today a
vast workshop instead Of an
armed camp. Instead Of having
sown the seed Of lasting hatred
in the breast of a neighbOring ma
tiOn, we have strengthened the
bonds of friendship, and won
the respect and trust of all the
nations of the two Americas,
Nor can anyone say that we have
lost prestige in the eyes of the

UNRAvELINe The OLD LOVE TIE.
A heart filled nth GOODNESS.
Killed by descending,
Crushed by ingratitude,
is Love.

When love worsis have been spoken
and piighted vowc exchanged, the be-
lief rs that the 81 ken tie thus woven
is to last; that tine will never change
it. There are loves and loves. Some
are of the qualitJ which endures;
others are of so hose a warp that it
soon trays out of IFS own volition.
In other words, the love which is
born OF a 1eeting fnncy soon filters out
of the heart, as though it we're an
hour-glass
There are men who cannot bind
their affections uneo any one woman
for a length of tine without the tie
becoming irksome 10 them. These are
the men who deliberately plan to
break away With some sweethearts
this is is not so easily done. There are
won. en- whom love has so blinded that
they fail to realize their lover is losing
affection for them
If he disappoints her by not com
ing to take her ont, she makes all
sorts of excuses in her heart for him
The reason he offerl is a lame one, but
it passes wills her. He makes up his
mind to break With her, surely, but
slowly. He cannot make her jealous;
his GOODNESS and lack of attention to
her have no effec~ Even the little
quarrels which he tets up she bridges
over without ado
He finds it the most difficult task
of his life to unra ell the old love tie;
it will stretch, bu1 never break. He
wonders, as all men do, why woman
will persist in clii'ging to love that
has no warmth for her Such men
should have heart-to-heart talk with
a sweetheart as soon as they discover
their change of attitude toward her
1t is cruel to elbow her to feed her
heart on hopes OF marriage which he
knows will never be realized. He must
know the fault OF the situation is en-
tirely his own. He made love to the
woman on the impulse of the moment,
and proposed marriage before he was
sure of himself. Unraveling love
krot is tedious work. Men who are
changeable of heart usually marry at
last; but the girl they wed will not
stand for a long, drawn-out courtship.
They must speak quickly if they
hope to win her hand. They know
there's no lettering in loves path:
The love in this instance is unravel-
able material. 1t centers in the mar
riage ring. A girl should beware Of
the lover who makes no effort to keep
his hold on her affections.

"Peace Of Paris.p

One hundred years ago the nego-
tiations for the definite treaty of peace
between France and the allies were
practically concluded. Two days later
the treaty, which is known in history
as the Peace of Paris, was ratified by
the powers. The king of Prussia and
the emperors of Russia and Austria
took part personally in the negotia-
tons, which Lord Castlereagh was pres
ent as the representative of the Eng
lish sovereign. The treaty of Paris
did little more than ratify the peace
following the abdication of Napoleon
and provide for the restoration of the
French frontiers to the limits of 1892.
The great European questions as to
the new formation of states lately con-
quered or dismembered by Napoleon,
were mostly referred to the congress
which was soon to meet in Vienna.
