Blind Shop VS.. WOrkhOuse

The broom shop is doing beautiful
work under the supervision of Mr..
Wyatt. Our Polish apprentice who
started to learn handmade brooms,
less than four weeks ago, at this writ
ing has made two dozen double Xxx
rattan shop brooms. This is the
heaviest of brooms made for shop
work and two dozen brooms is a job
for most experienced broom maker.
We plucked a young man off the
streets who was idling in vagrancy
and told him he must either come to
work on an honest job or travel over
to the workhouse. He came to work
the next morning and at the end of
one week he was able to sew dozen
of the heaviest brooms a day, which
is quite sufficient to provide his living
expenses at the shop.
We have a report from the school in
which we entered the blind child from
Dover at our own expense, because
the State educational funds were eX-
hausted. The report says, S-year-old,
partial sight, physical ability good,
mental ability fair, manual ability
good, minus. She has never been
taught to do anything but amuse her
self and run wild, she knows nothing
of the simplest things: the days of the
week, the names of the meals nor
when they come. She is very hard to
discipline. She has good use of her
hands and has accomplished much in
handwork.
The above case shows the necessity
of field work for the blind. To think
that bright child should grow to this
age, s-years-old and remain a total
barbarian!
The operations of the Blind Shop
were as follows, for the last three

London, Aug. 16.-Horse- power Sc

Discovery of the latest invigorator,

known throughout the world.
1t requires from one to four years
to produce the pep prOlonger and sever

of one complete treatment.
A business associate of Spahlinger
a man of years, writes this testimonial
of the longevity lotion to the daily eX-
press:

Of stimulation and u marvellous fund
of energy. have never felt the faint

According to other associates OF

treatment, the horsepower serum I'M

Ak IS BEST FOR EGG EATERS
Habit Spreads From One Fowl to An.
other and Unless Checked
Affects Whole Flock.

NPrepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
Egg eating sometimes becomes a Sc
rious vice in flock, the fowls becOm-
ing very fond of eggs when they have
learned to eat them. The habit
spreads from fowl to fowl and unless
checked will often spread through the
whole flock. Egg eating usually begins
through accident by eggs being broken
or frozen. See that the nests are prop
erly supplied with straw or other nest
ing material and have them darkened,
so that If an egg is accidentally broken
the fowls will not be likely to dis.
cover it. Supply plenty of lime In the
form Of oyster shells, bone or similar
substances to insure a firm shell. AS
soon as it is discovered that a fowl
has formed the habit, the fowl should
be removed to prevent the spread of
the vice. Once formed, it is difficult
to eradicate, and the safest remedy is
the death penalty, say poultry special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Fowls sometimes pluck feathers
from themselves and from each other.
This is often caused by too close con,
tlnement, By the presence of insect
pests, or by improper feeding. When
some of the fowls Of a flock have
formed the habit slightly, a wide
range with change of diet, including
a plentiful supply of animal feed, and
freedom from insect pests, will usual.

that the fowls have plenty of induce
ment to exercise. If the habit becomes
well formed it is very troublesome and
may necessltate the killing of some of
the fowls in order to stop 1t.
