Most guinea raisers allow their
breeding stock free range of the entire
farm at all times, and this helps to
keep the birds strong and vigorous.
Durlng the winter the breeders should
nave been fed a grain mixture of corn,
wheat and oats twice day, and where
no green feed was available, yege-
tables, such SIS potatoes, turnips, beets
ana cabbage. Animal feed is essen
tai TO best results and can be supplied
Dy feeding meat scrap or SKINNED
milk. Given free range, where the sup
ply or natural feed during the win
ter and early spring are ample, as 1t
usually is in the southern portion Of
the United States, the guineas can be
left to pick up a considerable part Of
their feed, say poultry specialists Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Free access to grit, charcoal,
aad oyster she'll is necessary through
out the breeding season. Avoid hav-
ing the breeders too fat, but keep them
In good, firm flesh.
Like quail and most other wild birds,
guinea fowls in their wild state mate
in pairs, and this tendency prevails
among domesticated guineas, also, pro
Tided the males and females are equal
in number. AS the breeding season
approaches, one pair after another sep
arates from the remainder of the flock
and ranges off in the fields in search
Of a suitable nesting place. Once
mated this way, the male usually re
mains with his mate throughout the
laying season, standing guard some
where near the nest while the hen Is
laying, and ready TO warn her of any
approaching danger.
However, it Is not necessary to mate
them in pairs under domestic condi-
'tions to secure fertile eggs, and most
breeders keep but one male for every
three or four females. When mated in
this way the hens are more apt to lay
near home, and several usually lay
In the same nest, thus making it much
easier to find the nests and gather the
eggs.

decision That viii Be of Interest TO
Many Communities Throughout
the Country.

In Salem, Mass, a resident sued the
town gas light company for damages
caused by the killing of FIVE shade
trees through the escape of gas from a
ieaky main. A verdict for 81, OOo
against the company was rendered.
S2OO tree. The decision is said to
nave been awaited with a good deal
OF interest by surrounding towns, for
tree killing from this cause is a COM
mon thing. 1t has happened many
times In Indianapolis, according to re-
port, though complaints have not been
heard lately with the frequency that
characterized them rack In the days
when natural gas was piped through
the streets, hastily and no doubt often
carelessly.
The killing OF thrifty, well-grown
shade tree is usually a distinct loss 10
any property, commonly lowering its
value. In view of the time required
for the growth of such trees 5000 Is
a moderate sum In the way of damages,
and no amount of money, when il
comes 20 that, can really recompense
the owner of the trees. They have to
him, especially if he planted and cared
for them, a sentimental value that dol
lars cannot measure. They have added
beauty to his home and he has counted
them among his treasures. To a real
tree lover, a beautiful tree, whether
his own or not, seems almost to pos
sess a personality of its own and to
see it struggle for life and gradually
die, brings real sorrow. 1t is to view
a MISUNDERSTANDING Star.

The national agencies engaged IN
rural social work are reported as be-

with its peculiar problem in a dynamic
manner. The rural home is being re-

way as a center of all social organ

EMPLOYED THE RIGHT TERM
to Say of the SoIoist's
Vocal Efforts2

The soloist was an egoist and the
rest of the choir hated him cordially.
And when it gave a recent concert
they were provoked when he got the
very best parts. But still the men,
bers felt that they had one way left
to get even with him. One Of their
members did the publicity work for
them and they knew that he too dis
liked the baritone and hoped that he
would give him no publieity-a thing
he craved more than all else.
But to their dismay the next morn
ing's paper read, "Mr. Blanks rendi-
ton of his solos was very satisfying"
They took the writer to task. And
he reported, II had to mention them,
didn't I? Well, what else could
say? They were certainly satisfying
TO himself and as for the rest of you
I didn't hear you clamoring for any
more of them, did II"
And they were convinced he was
right.

II was a say previous to Mrs. Bow

l5r Bowser's office, q sharp-featured,
t.en-looking man, who gave his name
:. Mfr Gordon. He was a practical
chemist. and was connected with a
vbolesale drug manufactures. He
vsnted to go In business for himself
or with partner who had money and
.nergy. He had heard of Mr.. Bowser
end had called to talk business.
One Of the great money-makers for
the drug house, was witchhazel. 1t re-
mrned over 100 per cent profit Mr..
Gordon wanted to go into the manu-

ana still going up. He had a talk
virh Mr.. Bowser for two long hours,
and he satisfied him that the oppor-
tunity of his life had come TO him. 1t
beat bookkeeping and pig-raising all
10 pieces.
AT five o'clock Mr.. Bowser started
home, as usual. He was placid and
satisfied with the world. He looked
around him at the stores and offices,
and calculated that he could buy them
all. in two years. Two or three of his
fellow passengers, on the car, stepped
on his toes, AID the conductor took
fifty cents from him and forgot to
make the change. Nothing irritated
Mr.. Bowser, however. He smiled, as
he entered the hall of his house. and
that smile warned Mrs. Bowser that
he had something up his sleeve. She
said nothing, however, and after din
ner he suddenly began:
