Those Who Have Chickens

The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture has issued a few instruc-
tions for the benefit of those who
are raising chickens. Their
Weekly News Letter says:
AS the time approaches for the
hens to become broody or sit, if
care is taken to look in the nests it
will be seen that there are a few
soft DOWN feathers being left
there by the hens; also, the hens
stay longer on the nests when lay
ing at this time, and on being ap-
preached will quite likely remain
on the nest, ruf1ing up their
feathers and pecking at the in
truder. When it is noted that a
hen sits on the nest for two or
three nights in succession, she is
ready to be transferred to a nest
which should be prepared for her
beforehand. This nest should be
in a box and composed of straw,
hay or chaff for nesting material.
Pack this material down firmly and
shape a circular nest out of it
which should be slightly deeper in
the center than at the edges, as a
nest so shaped will prevent the
eggs from rolling out from under
the hen and becoming chilled.
Dust the hen thoroughly with
insect powder. In applying the
powder, hold the hen by the feet,
head down, working the powder
well into the feathers, giving
special attention to regions around
the vent and under the wings.
The powder should be sprinkled in
the nest. The nest should be in
some quiet, out-of f-the-way place
On the farm, where the sitting hen
will not be disturbed. Move her
rom the regular laying nest at
hight. Handle her carefully in
1oing so. Put china egg or two

hat she cannot get off. Toward |

ENGLAND pays her midshipman
forty-two cents day for his now
most valuable as we'll as dangerous
services. The statement is made
that more of these brave boys have
lost their lives than any other class
of officers in the British navy. They
are looked upon as apprentices but
they give full service and should
be, if they are not, given full
recognition for their services. The
German midshipman is paid only
Sis year; the French boy, $50,
the same as the English. The
cadet in the United States navy
receives 5000 a year, which is in
creased to 81 700 when he receives
his commission as an ensign. 1t
is no wonder that England and
Germany can support great navies
when they pay such wages to their
men.-Stillwater Gazette.

WHAT does it take to build a
town? It takes more boosters than
knockers; more men with public
spirit than those who do not know
what the term "public-spirit"
means. 1t takes men who are
willing to take off their coats and
work for the common good. 1t
takes men who are willing to loosen
their purse strings a little, and not
clutch every red cent until the
Indian thereon gives vent to
choked sob of pain. 1t takes men
who have faith and confidence in
their fellow men, and who do not
ascribe ulterior motives to every
thing they undertake. 1t takes
women who are willing to do their
full share, and children who are
imbued with the spirit of home
pride. 1t takes those who are big
enough and broad enough to over
look factional strife, and who are
willing to shoulder their part of the
burden of the task for the building
of the mutual cause. All these
things it takes. and when you find
a town where that spirit predom-
mates, and the snarlers and the
fellows who weakly gasp 1t can't
be done" are relegated to a seat
far, far in the rear, you will find
a thriving, prosperous community
which is progressing and getting
its share of the things that really
make life worth while. WHINE

Old ROMAN WIRELESS STATION.

Old ROMAN WIRELESS STATION.
A few miles north of Marseilles, and
within easy walk of the tram to AK
sn-Provence, lies a typical provencal
village that tourists usually miss. 1t
was founded by the Romans during
their occupation of the south of
France, and is built in accordance with
the custom of that time. The houses
appear to be perched on the top Of
each other, but on closer inspection
are found to be built on ledges on a
hillside. The hill is the most inter.
esting feature of the place, says Wide
World Magazine. What appears to be
a solitary crag is in reality a castle,
the rooms, Notifications, etc., being
cut out of the solid rock and forming a
fortress practically impregnable in
those days. At the side of the castle
is round tower, about forty feet in
height and seven feet in diameter. The
interior of this tower acted as the
wireless station" in Roman times.
The interior consisted of a series of
pigeon lofts, from which the birds,
bearing messages, were sent direct
to Rome. The whole of the interior
was constructed of a very hard ce-
ment, which. with the wear of ages, is
now slowly decaying, and only one
perfect loft" now remains. There
were accommodations for about two
hundred and fifty pairs of birds, togeth.
er with an abundant water and grain

ARTHUR CLEMENTS, Justice oil

election in Saginaw, Mich.
Having lost both arms in a mine
accident several years ago, he was
elected two years ago on the Repub-

of ingenious contrivances he is
able to turn the leaves of law
books, write and answer the tele-

Opposed to Clements, on the Demo-

order that he might not have an
advantage over his opponent.
