WONDER ISLAND OF HISTORY.
The Story of Sicily Is a Compendium of
Medieval Romance,

"00iCVat hOIfidtICCs
Sicily's history is as vivid and pic
turesque, as ferocious and creative and
destructive. as mythical and intensely
practical as the stories of all the rest
Of the world put together. And In
beauty of nature, of climate, OF man
and Of beast, the island is a paradise
today, whether or not it was ever the
voorhees,, painless. p~assionless elysium
where our first ancestors enjoyed all
the good things of life without having
to toll.
Nature itself, now in the guise of the
misunderstood gods Of old, now in con
yulsions or In quiet fertility that sci.
ence has made >plain to us, weaves
its mysterious shuttle through and
through the highly colored fabric.
And men-such men!-tower above
their fellows in the story like Titans-
Pindar, Aeschylus. Theocritus. Thucy
dides, Archimedes. the two great HE
rons, Cicero, Verres, Diodorus, Hamil,
car and Hannibal. Roger the Count and
Roger the King. Belisarius, the great
crusaders Richard of the Lion Heart
and Louis the Saint of France. Charles
Of Anjou, Frederick H., the wonder
Of the world" and Garibaldi. Even

This hen and brood may be

time they may be removed to
larger houses, and this coop used

them after they are Matched, by
beginners. But, if the breeding
stock is strong and we'll fed, and
the Matching has been we'll done,
the brooding should not necessa-
rialy be a serious problem.
The little chicks, when first
placed in the brooder, should be
looked after carefully to see that
they are not allowed to get too
hot or cold before they learn to
go in and out of themselves.
This is usually two to four days
after they sre placed in the
hover. Keeping them too close
ly confined in the hover will
weaken them, because they may
get too warm. Allowing them
to stay out too long will weaken
them, because they may get too
cold. Just here is where some
OF the secrets of success lie. Get
ting too warm or too cold during
the first week will cause bowel
trouble. weakness, and many of
them will die. Do not depend
on the thermometer altogether,
but watch the baby chicks.
When they huddle, they are too
cold; when they are comfortable
thew are salts fed and may be
seen playing around; or if at
night. spread out under the
hover, or just on the outside, if
too warm in the hover. Your
hand may serve as a good Their
mometer, and save the life of
many a chicken. Place your
hand under the hover and hold
1t there for a few minutes, about
an inch from the floor and see
how comfortable it is. Regulate
your temperature in accordance
The temperature should gradu-
ally decrease from 50 to 70 or 80
degrees within two or three
weeks after the chi ks ar. placed
in the broodcr.
The feeding question is one of
considerable worry. The first
feed should not be given u. til
the chicks are forty-eight to
seventy-two hours old. and should
he only a smali amount OF bread
crumbs, rolled oats, S eel cut
oats. or it may be bread crumbs
soaked in milk and squeezed a.
dry as possible. Whatever feed
is started should be continued for
a few days without change, and
any changes should be gradually
made. They should be fed only
a small amount at a time-no
more than they will clean up in
a few minutes but feed often
about four or five times a day for
the first ten DAYS. At this age
they may be given a dry mash,
composed principally of rolled
oats, or ground oats. wheat bran
and corn meal with some pull
verified charcoal. If you can get
lit, add some bone meal and some
fine srits to this mash. A table
spoon full of epson salts to a
gallon of this mash is beneficial
This mash may be placed before
them at about ten days of age
and kept before them at all times:
and. by the time they are fifteen
days old, they may have ten per
cent of this mash in cottonseed
meal; this to be increased gradu-
ely until they are using twenty
per cent %cottonseed meal by the
time they are two thirds grown.
In addition to this dry mash
they should have some little
chick grain twice per day. with
clean water before them at all

Lesson No. Setting the Her

unQer mems on the general farms,
and a few suggestions just in this
line might be worth while.
1t is not we'll to set a hen
where she lays. for other hens
will lay to her and disturb her:
besides the nest may have mites.
which would multiply very rapid
ly while she sets.
A splendid custom on many
farms is to set two or more hens
at one time and when they hatch
give the chickens from both hens
to one, and the other hen may
be reset. Or if three or more
hens are set at one time and the
weather is pleasant when they
hatch, one hen might take care
of three broods and let the two
other hens be reset. If the
weather is cold this is not advis-
able, for the old hen cannot
hover successfully more than
eighteen or twenty chicks in cold
weather.
There should be provided a
separate shed and yard for the
setting hens, where they may
be taken after two or three days
of broodiness on the laying nest.
The setting hen should never be
moved in the day time, but NOV
ed after dark and placed on TIE
new nest, and this nest closed so
that she cannot get off at the
approach of day; or. if she does
get off the nest, she cannot leave
it but a few feet If she is a
fairly good mother she will take
to the new nest, and eggs may
be placed under her the second
night. If she is inclined not to
take to the new nest, she might
be fastened on the nest for a day
and night, after which she will
likely set. If not, break her up
and let her go ION laying again.
Several hens can be handled in
this way as easily as one.
A We y convenient coop and
breeder for two setting hens and
a brood OF chicks has been de-
vised by Prof. Daniel Scoates, of
this College. This coop is seven
feet long, three feet wide, ard
one foot and nine inches nigh.
Two feet from one end the main
body is raised five inches and
sloped back to the shore end,
forming a roof. By the use of
one partition, two nests may be
made in this end of the coop and
by removing the partition and
Ehe nest after the Matching is
over this becomes a or, she ter
ed space. The long end of this
brooder serves as a runway for
the setting hens, and for the lit
tie chicks after the hens have
Matched. This end of the coop
is covered with mosquito screen
wire. The two hens that are set
in this coop neej not be given
any other space at all, except
the nests and the coop, water
and feed being kept in the coop
for them at all times. After the
Matching. one hen and both
broods of chicks may be left in
this coop and the other hen re-
moved to a new nest and reset,
or allowed to go back to laying.
The hen with her brood should
be confined to this coop until the
title brood ir about a week old,
when they may be- allowed to go
upon open range during warm,
pleasant DAYS, and be confined to
the coop at night. Plenty of
clean water should be PROVED,

skinned milk fed once per day

SAMARITAN hT
 S2.5O 4 PINT.

A brief session of the superior court yesterday afternoon was given over to bootlegging cases. R. 4. Collins charged with the sale of liquor, was arraigned and, Waiving time, pleaded guilty. He stated before that that he had no law yer and could not see the advantage of having one.
 Henry Moore, colored. who had pleaded guilty to the sale of intoXicat- ing liquor, was called up for sentence. In reply to questions by the court he said he disposed of four bottles of whisky at s2.50 a pint. Pursuing a line suggested to him by the remarks of the court that various persons had come to him with statements that Moore had
 hitherto lived blameless life. the de-
 fendant dwelt somewhat upon that. He
 said that this was the first time he
 had ever been in any trouble
 In disposipg of the whisky he said
 ne had acted the part of the Good Sa- maritan and he did not make business of being a Good Samaritan either. A friend of his had told him that. he knew two white men suffering the bangs of thirst and his friends told | him that they were all right. Moore said that he was not in the business of selling liquor: his reputation in the community would not allow him to en- gage in such a vocation. He had some whisky, d private stock with which he lad always endeavored to keep himself fortified and he had let the sufferers have that
 When he was asked by the court where he got the private stock, Moore squirmed and grinned and the court observing that the subject was embar rassing if not painful, did not pursue it further.
 Moore was given 20 days in the coun ty jail and sentenced to pay fine of s200 either in cash or by remaining in tho county iail at the rate of S1 a day.

 The race was held Memorial Day at Cincinnati where 2S cars started, and among them were some of the greatest cars and drivers in the world.
 The Hudson team consisted of three entries and all three finished, with Ira Vail in second money. These cars were real stock designs and though the other two did not finish in the money they made a remarkable showing.
 It was the 250-mile International Sweepstake race and the attendance was the largest reported at any sport event this year.
