Callomb nodded, but, at noon, he
slipped out on a pretense of sightsee-

GUS route to the ridge. At nightfalls
he came to the house of the clan head.

he had led him aside, they didn't

PRACTICAL WAY OF
FEEDING CHICKENS
Grains, Greens or Animal Food
Should Not Be Given Poultry
Unless Real Tasty.
(By d. 3. LEUTZ.)

Of course, foods that are not tasty,
whether grains, green's or animal
food, should not be used as poultry
feed, even though they contain all the
desired elements of nutrition. Fowls
appreciate a change of diet as often
as possible. The same grains in diff
ferent forms may be a change to them
and yet contain the same nutrients.
One man thought he was feeding on a
balanced ration because he fed corn
mea' dough in the morning, cracked
corr at noon and whole corn at night.
A balanced ration for one flock may
be too narrow or too wide for another.
BY narrow and wide we mean the
proportion Of protein, the flesh and
tissue-forming nutrients, compared
with the carbohydrates, the fat, heat
and energy-making elements. A good
proportion for an average flock is one
portion Of protein to five Of carbo-
hydrates, usually designated one to
five. BY average flock we mean one
that is composed largely OF American
breeds. The Mediterraneans are nat
urally more active and will do better
on wider formula, or about one to
six. This, Of course, depends some
what upon the condition Of the birds
and the season Of the year.
It's mistaken notion that hens will
lay eggs when spring comes, whether
the food is properly fed or not. True,
when warm weather comes they will
get around the farm and pick up a
part of their living in the garden and
about the barn. When hen lays she
is getting nutrients from somewhere
in addition to air and water. II we
analysed a fowl or chicken, we would
find about 55 per cent of water, nearly
% per cent of protein, II per cent OK
fat and about per cent Of ash. In
an egg we would get nearly sc per
cent Of water. little more than ii
per cent Of protein, about 3 per cent
of fat and IL per cent ash. If chicken
is deprived of any of these ingredients
in it's food it cannot develop In nice
proportions. If it is compelled to con-
sumo a surplus of one in order to
get a suficiency Of another, it will
not remain in good condition.
To get eggs, we must first supply q
sufficient quantity of nutrition to SUE
tain life, repair waste and give a
surplus to make the egg. II hen is
an egg machine she must be built to
make good layer. II the egg is the
finished product Of the raw material
we give the hen, it must be such that
she can make eggs from it. No doubt
she will do her best to be reproductive.
but she must live while producing
eggs. Then the food must be filling
to satisfy the appetite, and not SO
concentrated as to injure the diges-
ton. A. properly balanced ration Is
one that is healthful and nutritious.

(By J. M. BELL. Virginia-)
A prominent horse dealer once told
the writer that no horse was fit for
women and children to use until it
was nine years old!
Rather an advanced age you will

the business for forty years was not

tons mean. A countryman starts to

horses, they are gentle and kind when
at work on the home farm-wouldn't

On the outskirts or the town tney

thing doing for the next ten minutes.
The team is horror-struck; the ladies
are in no better condition; the good
man who prided himself on being a
horseman for the past quarter of a
century is astonished to find that his
team does not respond to his COM
mands, therefore he uses conciliatory
measures, and later the measures be-
come more forceful as the now thor
oughly frightened team try to break
away from the neighborhood OF the

met them.

tellers of sea tales was "old, broken and pennlless.' Two publishers joined in an attempt to dispose of sets of his autographed books for his benefit. Eel low writers of equal or greater re- nown offered their subscriptions in let ters which gave unstinted praise to his work Tarkington, Conrad, Davis, Howells, Chambers, Beach and Dunne were among the number. He must have regarded this comrnendable movement with mixed emotions. It was gratifying to be appreciated, while it must have been humiliating to have his distress proclaimed from the housetops, al though the publishers tried to soften the blow by explaining that the early magazines could not afford to pay him what his stories were worth.

Optimism In Financial World

While business recovery in the east ern section of the country has been slow, improvement in certain lines of industry continues and as for the financial world, optimism is more pro- nounced now than it was even month ago.
 The activity and strength of the New York stock market last week was accepted in business circles as a good barometer of conditions in general. The rapid rise in the price of certain shares caused a feeling of buoyancy in the brokerage and banking houses. The bulls on the market were sur prised at the firmness of stocks at the higher levels and while there will be probably sagging because of the heavy selling on the part of specula- tors who are satisfied with their prof. it's, it is expected that there will be sn upward turn again shortly The bushes public outside of Wall street pays little attention to the rise and fall of the stock market; but at

Educators Enthusiastic

The Alabama Educational associa- tion, which holds it's annual meeting in Montgomery this week, includes in it's membership college presidents and college professors as we'll as the su- perintendents, principals and teachers of the public schools. 1t is a very large body and every educator in the state manifests lively interest in its work
 The association has accomplished vast good and this year, in view of the opportunity that has at last come to improve the district schools and bring them up to a level with the city schools, the educators are filled with hope and enthusiasm.
 Mrs. Prentiss B. Reeds article in yesterdays Age-Herald on Alabamas s appalling percentage of white Hitter dCy anu HOW CO ielilose IlllS DiOC was especially timely. This esteemed ed ucator makes strong plea for com pulsory education and her able discus sion is sure to make an impression on the educational association and should impress forcibly the legislature.
 The Educational association has is- sued tentative programme which in- cludes addresses by distinguished writers who are well known authori- ties on educational conditions and methods, and in addition to the papers that will be read by the teachers Tn attendance, there will be the usual im- promptu symposiums.
 The Montgomery meeting will be not only largely attended but from indications 1t will not be surprising if the attendance marks a new high rec ord. The slogan of the educators, "Il- literacy In Alabama Let's Remove It," should be also the slogan of every thoughtful man aud woman in the state.
 The right to levy special county and district taxes for school purposes, which will be vouchsafcd by the amendment to the constitution, to be ratified at the polls in 1916, will be avai!ed of in every section of Ala bama, and when the amendment be- comes operative the percentage of il- literacy will begin to drop. When the next federal census is taken Alabama will occupy better position in the literacy table than it does now, and by 1880 this state should rank, among the foremost.
 But the Alabama Educational asso- citation will push an energetic cam lpaign in behalf of the rural public schools from now on, and in order to help in the cause many teachers ir poor districts will conduct summer schools free while the people wait pa. tiently for the special school tax Ii is a splendid disposition which the teachers are showing and the public cannot fail to appreciate it.

Educational Value of Festivals

Now that music of high order is listened to by large and discriminat- ing audiences in the great cites of this country, it is interesting to recall the early days when musical culture in America was in it's infancy. Many an enlightened community had it's ora torio society or choral association, which gave creditable performance of a master work once or twice a year, but the grand orchestra had not then made its appearance except, per haps, in New York and Boston. The oratorios were accompanied by pipe organ and a half dozen stringed in struments. But even those primitive efforts were educational and out of them grew the fullfledged festival with symphony orchestra as feature, and with symphonic programmes as well as oratorio nights.
 There are not so many festival cities now as there were 25 or 30 years ago, for the reason that a great deal of music by the master composers, choral and orchestral, is heard in the principal cities throughout the entire season. There is hardly music lover living within 100 miles of either one of dozen cities that does not hear the best in large form several times during the year, to say nothing of the recital artists who go everywhere.
 Birmingham, England, enjoys the music festival primacy of the world. Its festivals have been given on a splendid scale triennially for more than century, and all festivals in the United States are modelled on those of the English city.
 In this country Cincinnati leads in music festivals. Worcester, Mass, comes next, and Spartanburg. s. C., ranks third. In each of those places . chorus of hundreds of voices is main- tained and the festival covers the greater part of week.
 This city has had music festivals of Ihrge scope. Next month group of two brilliant festival concerts will be eresented by local organization, with

MORGAN ROBERTSON

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat. HHE death of Morgan Robertson in his 54th year, broken in body, A spirit and fortune, seems an anomaly in this day of stories of the rich rewards paid to popular authors. For 20 years his stories of the sea have charmed Americans. That they were realistic was felt by all readers, in- oluding those who did not know that he had for 10 years been a sailor be fore the mast. A New York boy, he ran away to sea at the age of 16 After 10 years he returned to New York and entered the jewelry business He was 33 when his first story was published, "A Tale of Halo" It has been said that he wrote this story on an in verted washtub, while his bride watched him with discouraged eyes. But he became at once famous and he wrote an average of story a month, most of them dealing with the sea, but some treating ordinary life. which he saw with poets eye.
 It was only the other day that the public was astounded to learn that that
