Value to all Poultry Raisers. I If every poultryman would endeavor "to arrive at a knowledge of the chicks' / most during the year the'result would bl more care and caution in raising them. - Every chick hatched costs something. The eggs from which the chicks come are worth a’. certain sum in the market and the loss of the services of the hen while sittingâ€"that is, in not producing cgsâ€"is another item in the cost. It may be considered, also, that every egg ~Itioes not produce a chick, hence at cox" 'iain.seasons, when eggs are less fertile as a. whole, it may require two eggs to produce a chick, the price of which, in Winter, ranges from 20 to 30 cents per dozen. The hatching is but a part of the operation, as the chicks must be raised to a marketable age before a re- turn for the outlay will be received. The poultryman has no control over the fertility of the eggs, nor can he induce the sitters to give greater attention to their duties, but he can raise more than the average number of chicks if he will :give attention to the shelter and food. 'What such duties may be is discussed in this department every week, but the point is to have each and all to realize .the advantage of lessening the cost at "the beginning. The destruction of. chicks by hawks, rats, cats, dogs, lice. etc., is enormous, but this fact will .not be fully realized until a strict ac~ count of the losses of chicks is kept for 48. year. ’ Those who have been anxiously lookâ€" ”'.ing for the early pullets to begin laying, .and who met with disappointment. should not be discouraged. Endeavor to learn the cause of the backwardncss of the pullets and correct the difficulty if possible. Pullets that have been :forced by a high system of feeding may have red combs, and yet not begin to lay eggs. They may be very fat, or have the large lice on their heads. Some of them may be slow in maturing .-and crowding of the flock may subject 'them _ to uncomfortable conditions. "The best remedy for the dirliculty is to change the diet. Begin by giving no "food for 48 hours and then allow two ~:mcals only each day, giving bulky food, ~-such as cut clover sprinkled with bran, in the morning, and lean meat at night. Every other day, at night, give also a 'teaspoonful of linseed meal with bran, .moistened. The changing of the food 'is better than medicine Of any kind, as "frequently a failure to lay may result from lack of food containing the essen- .-tial substances for egg production. Dry food should be preferred fol .chicks, as food that is very moist, if eaten, forces the chicks to take more water than they require. Never allow ' ! .nny food to remain over after feeding and always feed on clean surfaces. Small seeds, such as those of hemp and .millet, are excellent for chicks at al stages of growth. - Eggs are cheaper, and may be cheaper during the summer than ever before. To keepieggs for higher prices do nol "limc”‘them, as limed eggs do not sell at good prices. The first point to keep "in view is that there must be no males in the flock, as unfertile eggs will keep three times as long as the fertile ones .‘if that rule is not overlooked, the keep. ing of eggs will not be difficult. Do not ‘buy eggs to store away, as such eggs may come from yards containing males. No solutions, preserving liquids. or packing material are necessary. Simp')I keep the eggs in a cool place (the cool- er the better), on racks or in any man- ner so as to permit of turning them halt over three times a week. The method may appear very simple, but it is the ~‘best known. But do not overlook the fact that no males are to be kept. They are not necessary unless eggs are de- 9 "ed for hatching purposes, as the bees 'will lay without their presenceâ€"P. E “Jacobs, in American Gardening. The Good Birds Do.

Eugene Stratton’s Story. Eugene Strntton tells a dramatic story of the days when he was a youngster in the minstrcl profession. He traveled all over the States as a nippcr with Haver- lcy’s Mastodon Minstrels, and it was with that organization that he finally came to London, was seen, and con- quered, says an English exchange. But, at the period he tells about, he was dancing and singing for Mr. Haver- ley. In the processions he played the ket‘ tie-drum, in the management of which instrument he can still give points to fame of the boys in the Guards. _ ' . They had struck a town on the MISSIS- sippi. He gives chapter and verse for the occurrence, but we may as well call the town Jolinsonvillc. After the even- inlg,r performance lhe went into a saloon with some of the minstrels, who sat down to ginger-pop. Their table was at one end of a long bar. . I Leaning against the bar, With his back to it and his elbows on it, was Mr. Pat- rick Shaughnessyâ€"his real name was not thatâ€"a local celebrity who had just been deposed, tlmt very day, from 9. inch position. He had been president for t c past two years of the United Irish So- ciety; there had been an election in the morning, and a new president was ap- pointed in the person of a Mr. Muller, an American ’born of German parents. Shaughncssy, with his hands in his side pockets, was musing over the indignity to which ‘he 'had been subjected. He found himself shelved. Suddenly the door opened, and b, walkedâ€"Muller. He had some friends with 'him, and they approached the bar.‘ Muller was nearest to haughnessy, whol began to say things. - “Fancy!” he cried, “a dâ€"d German elected president Of a society of Irish- men!” Muller turned round uickly. “Can’t you take it quietly?” he cried. Shaughncssy was deliberate. "if I can’t,” he mused, “how have I got to. take it?” “Like that!” cried Muller. And he, had pulled out a big revolver and let-- allcd it at the other’s head in a twink-A ling. Stratton says that when he and the other minstrcls saw that barrel pointing straight at Shanghncssy, and therefore, straight at them, for they were behind him, it was a case of who could reach' the floor first! They all dived under the: table, and he (Stratton) does not think he was the last. He grazed his nose on the floor, trying to get into, or wider, - it! Now, when S'h'aughncssy knew there was a gun plunked straight at his tem- ple, he did a strange thing. He said, “Oh; '.i1at’s the way, is it?” Then, still with his hands in his coat packets, he yawned, stretched, pulled himself level, and non- chalantly lifted his hands~still in those pocketsâ€"up in the airâ€"lifting the skirts, of his coat and pockets as well, all with :(10 some motion. He just seemed to idly flap his coat~ends in- “the air. But a revolver Went Ofi‘, and Muller fell dead, shot through the heart. Shaughnessy had shot him through the pocket of his coat. He was tried, and acquitted, because the other man had held a gun to his head, and Shaughnessy’s act was in self-' defence. , , Gaphank-On-The-Hump Notes. By Our 81 ecial Correspondent. There is quite an e idemic in our niidst of mushroom appetite and toadstool judgment. , Oldest inhabitants’ trousers are more worn this season than last, and their tales are longer. Our friends, the expert fishermen from the city, are coming in with short strings and long yarns. Luther Lopstock has been compelled , to quit 'his job as echo for tlhe Wclkiu , House, on account of a severe attack of ‘ bronchitis; and Rollo Holl-arh-as accepted the position. Rollo has gained consider- able elocu'tion'ary experience by taking part in home-talent dramas, and will doubtless make a splendid echo. Not to be outdone by his competitors, the enterprising landlord of the Tanner House has secured the services of Mr. Laurence Scanlon, the popular singing comedian, as Tyrolean yodcler, to add to the weird charms of the Lover's Leap, which, as heretofore, will be for the sole use of the guests of the Tanner. Mr. Sennlon, who contemplates remaining un- til the opening of the theatrical season, has kindly consented to assist 'the head- warter in emergencics, and will at all inncs superintend‘ the transportation of bxgrgnge to and from the station.
