OLD RELIC OF REVOLUTION
Boston, Statehouse, Now Fully Re
stored, Is One of the Most Inter
esting in the Country.

The old statehOuse in Boston was
erected in 1713. In early days the first
floor was used as the Merchants ex'
change, and the second story as the
meeting place of the governors of the
province and the royal council. A few
feet from the eastern porch occurred
the Boston massacre on March 8, 1910.
In 1889 Washington reviewed from
this building a procession in his honor,
and in 1885 William Lloyd Garrison
took refuge there to escape from the
mob that had broken up the anti
slavery meeting, and threatened his
life. In later years the building was
turned into business offices and was so
much altered, inside and outside, as
almost to destroy the original architec-
tural effect. In 1881 it was restored
by the city at the request of the pub
lic-spirited citizens, and is now in the
custody of the Bostonian society,
which occupies it. The rooms, includ.
ing the old council chamber and hall
of representatives contain a collection

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Before the pullets are mixed with
the older fowls be sure that the hens
are banded or that the web Of the
foot is punched In some way so that
you can distinguish between the pull
let's and the hens. In. this way the
older stock may be culled, out when,
ever 1t appears desirable and the
young hens kept for further laying.
Do not keep hens of the heavier breeds
for egg production over two years, but
some Of the best hens may be kept
for breeders until three or four years
old. Leghorns can be kept profitably
for egg production for three years.
The pullets that mature early in the
fall and that molt late as hens are
usually the best layers and should be
saved for breeding stock. Gull the
chickens which are brought into the
laying house carefully, and fatten and
market all chickens which are small,
poorly developed, or in poor condition.
These small, poorly developed chick
ems are apt to catch cold if put in with
the other poultry and develop dis
eases which quickly spread through
the flock.
In order to get the greatest egg pro-
duction in the early fall and winter,
it is essential to have well-matured
pullets which were hatched in March
or April, or even earlier in the South
ern states. By early Matching and by
supplying good conditions for egg pro-
duction more eggs will be produced in
the fall and winter, while larger pro.

ventures Galore
HAS WRITTEN OF RoMANCEs

Probably In all the British colonial
service there is no. personality more
interesting than that of Sir Hugh Cliff
ford, who succeeds Sir F. Lugard as
governor of Nigeria, writes CORE.
spondent in "The Manchester Guar.
dian." He combines sense of humor
with great independence of character,
and that is perhaps the most judicious
compound for the government of our
more distant possessions.
A member Of the ancient family of
Clifford of Chudleigh, son Of a. very
distinguished officer, who counted the
Victoria Cross among his many dec
orations, he was naturally intended for
the army, but went from one extreme
to the other by preferring the Malay
service.
It's 30 years since he took this step,
and he has seen a good deal of the
wilder places of the world since then,
FOR he was what some Americans call
the big noise" in Pahang for num-
Der of years, saw fighting from time
to time, and had adventures enough
to fill Conrad novel.
Nineteen years ago he was nominat-
ed by Mr.. Chamberlain, governor of
North Labuan, but, not liking the
methods Of the chartered company,
which was his immediate master, he
resigned and went back to Pahang,
whence he was transferred to the West
Indies, and thence again to Ceylon,
where he was colonial secretary for a
good many years.
In 1912 he became governor of the
Gold Coast, and has disproved the sin
lister suggestion conveyed by the old
story that newly appointed govern
or Of that district when he asked what
provision was made for the governors
expenses should he come on leave was
told that such contingency had never
vet arisen.
Sir Hugh is a charming author, and
has written all sorts Of things from
romance to Malay dictionaries.
