1t is just as necessary to have sys-

Bran is one the most valuable of
| poultry foods, is highly recommended
and is one of the most generally used
There is hardly a mash food prepar-
ed but what contains bran in liberal
quantities. Don't be afraid of feeding
too much bran. This is almost an i'm
possibility. and the birds relish it. 1t
is equally as good for young chicks
as for old birds and can be fed with
safety from their ins,ncy.
High roOsts can generally be blam-
ed for the lameness of many fowls.
In alighting from the rOosts when the
jump is made, causes many a foot to
be bruised. This hardens, becomes
calloused and results in what is US
ually known as bumblefoot. Avoid
this trouble by having the roosts low
and all upon a level. Crowding is
prevented when the rOOsts are all of
one level, as the natural tendency of
the hen is to crowd upon the highest
perch. If there is no such place this
will be avoided.
Summer is now with us, and the
warm weather will make things ex-
tremely uncomfortable in the poultry
yards and runs unless provisions are
made for the comfort of the fowls.
Shade in summer is just as important
as sunshine in the winter, and the
fowls cannot be expected to do their
best without it.
Watch the rations for summer
feeding. Corn may easily be elimin-
ated during the hot weather, but if |
fed, it should be in very limited guam
titles. A good summer ration will be |
found in the following: A mash of |
bran an dgrOund oats in the morning, |
and wheat or oats (Or a mixture of
BOTH in the evening. Green food |
should be provided, and where the |
fowls are confined, this should be lib
orally fed.
Hen boarding houses are becoming
less popular each year. Farmers as
well as breeders are finding that the
hens that pay their board bills are
more profitable than those which
content themselves with scratching

an egg. Weed out the drones or the
and retain only those

however, unless you have taken the
precaution to fence in your garden or
are prepared to give them all they
want.

COMPACT TRAVELLING BAG.

Any device which will save room
when packing a suit case is welcomed
by the traveller. A very compact bag
is made of cretonne. At the top of the
bag is folding coat hanger. The bag
is made. of one long piece of cretonne.
The bottom is turned up to form a
deep pocket. and the top is cut into q
point and forms the flap. Into the
deep pocket one can pack shoes, over
shoes and slippers, or ones comb, brush
and toilet accessories might be slipped
into 1t. Snap fasteners are used to
secure the flap SO that the contents in
the bag will not fall out A loop of
tape and button will answer the same
purpose.
To make the bag still more practical
safety ri1s can be placed at either end
of the coat hanger and at the point Of
the hook. On these pins one can hang
skirts and thus make the most Of the
small closet room which one usually
finds on her vacation.

ed and were answered by the guard
within and told to break down the
door. They did so and found the guard
bound and gagged, while the prisoners
were gone. They told the relief that
during the previous evening they were
set upon by number of men dressed
in different costumes, who had sue.
ceeded III snatching their guns. had
overpOwered them and taken away the
prisoners.
The man who wore the fez, first en-.
tering the building, was Ivan Demi.
zOrf; the others were members OF
the circle of which he was a member.
They concealed themselves in different
parts Of the building, and near mid
night the negro, who was so black that
he could not be distinguished In the
darkness, crept up to the top story,
where the prisoners were confined, and.
peeptng. saw that of the four men com
posing the guard at the door three were
sound asleep, and the other was doz-
ing. Returning, he reported what he
had seen, and the rescue party, headed
by Ivan Demizorf, crawled up the stair
case. On reaching the top Demizorf
awaited his opportunity, then made a
dash for the gun Of the man who was
nodding.
One Of the other men Of the rescue
party got the gun of a man who was
asleep without encountering any re-
sistance, but the two remaining res
cuers were obliged to fight for the 9TH
er weapons. However, 1t was not a
minute before every guard was cover
ed by a gun in the hands Of a rescuer.
Demizorf opened the door where the
prisoners were confined and found
them all awake and intensely interest
ed In what had been going on out
side. There were now double the num-
Der opposing the guards, and their guns
had been taken from them. Ropes and
gags had been brought, and the first
thing done was the insertion of the
latter. Then the guards were bound,
laid on the floor, the door locked, and
the rescue party departed with the
prisoners.
The three bona fide members of the
circle made their escape across the
border. One remained In Germany:
the two Others went to America. Dem
izorf did not dare face suspicion of
having had hand in the rescue,
though he had been well disguised, so
he made off for parts unknown. He
turned up in the United States, where
be became a head center for an asso-
citation of exiles who plotted to aid
their fellow workers in Russia.
The fourth man who was rescued
was never heard from after his rescue.
1t is supposed that he suffered for his
treachery before the party separated.

An Episode
OF the Russian
Revolution
By WILLARD BRAKEMAN

building went together down the street

of the government, who has joined our
circle to betray us"
Heavens! What can we do to cir

Ivan DemiZOrf the. next day was
closeted with the chief Of police. He
named four men who were plotting
against the government, including the
spy, and recommended that they be
confined in room on the top story of
certain building. window of which
could be seen from windows on the
opposite side of the street. "Other con-
spirators," he added, will learn where
they are, will communicate with them
and can be arrested" The chief assent
ed to the plan, the arrests were made,
and the prisoners were confined as sug-
gested.
Spies were set to watch the opposite
side Of the street, and If any one was
seen making signs to the prisoners the
police Were to be informed. The men
were held several days, but no one was
seen to be communicating. Not only
did the spies become tired of watching
and consequently careless, but those
guarding the prisoners relaxed their
vigilance. 1t was hoped that they
would all go to sleep at the same time,
but they did not. Finally Ivan Demi-
zorfs confessed to the chief of police
that his plan was failure but it was
agreed to leave the prisoners where
they were one day longer. If at the

Miss FueII Genius as Well as Wom
an of Rare Literary Attainment.

The new book entitled Blind
Boone" from the press of the Bur
ton Publishing Company, by Miss Me-
lissa Fuel, B. S. D., teacher, sing
er, lecturer and writer of wide repu-
tation, is unquestionably one of the
most interesting and inspiring contri-
buttons to Negro literature in recent
years. In a most pleasing manner the
author tells the story of the early
life of Boone, his privations, his strug-
giles, his finally coming under the OBJ
servation of Mr.. Lange, the dawning
of a golden day for both of them.
Many amusing incidents occurred dur
as many side lights upon the charac-
ter, generosity and achievements of
the two men.
The book is beautifully illustrated
with portraits of white and colored
friends of the distinguished subject of
the book as well as many other Incl
dents of his early life. There is also
produced many of the songs that made
Boone famous, as well as newspaper
accounts of his various entertain
ments. The book is elegantly bound
in half morocco, and would be an or
nament to any ones library, and it
is gratifying to know that the first
edition has been almost exhausted.
Every Negro in America who has
caught the vision of racial advance
ment as well as every white person
who desires to know something of
what the Negro race is doing should
have copy of this delightful book.
