The Poultry Yard.
Kerosene is our standard remedy
lor miles.
When lice come into the hen
house profit goes out.
Have your incubator stand level.
Then it will heat evenly.
Keep the temperature of the egg
chamber at 1030 until the chicks
begin to hatch, then run up to
1050.
It costs more to keep a poor hen
than it does a good one. More
worry, more vexation, more dissat
isfaction. About the first thing you had
better do when there is anything
the matter with your hens is to
look for lice.
Apply kerosene to the roosts
with a cloth or swab every two
weeks during warm weather to kill
the red spider lice.
Respect the hen. she may
cackle foolishly sometimes, but she
adds much to the comfort and pros
perity of the larm home.
Keep the poultry house clean
and neat and your efforts will be
amply rewarded by the egg basket
and kind words from your friends.
Test the eggs on the seventh day,
and remove the infertiles, also
those containing dead germs.
Test again on the fourteenth day
and remove all but those holding
live chicks.
After the chicks are three weeks
old, there is very little danger of
overfeeding. Then, if other condi
tions are right, the more they eat
of a variety of feed, the faster they
grow.
Next to pure air, water is the
cheapest thing we can supply our
poultry. Do not forget that it
must be given in order to get eggs.
Reduce the quantity and the egg
yield will go with it. From March

Nothing Better Than Work.
Recently a man wrote to the
New York Times that h-- was a lit
tle more than fifty years of age,
and having worked all his life to
acquire enough money to make
him independent, and having suc
ceeded, he had retired, and was
now trying to make himself happy
with nothing to do. He passed
five hours a day in reading, three
hours in exercise and eating, which
lett him eight hours, which he
found it hard to dispose of. His
letter was in the nature of a la
ment. His bubble had burst
A Deservedly Successful Magazine.
IJppincott's for March is as fresh
and vigorous as the month's brac
ing winds. More than half its sub
stantial bulk is given up to the
complete novel "A Knignt Errant
in Broadway," by Rupert Sargent
Holland, whose book, "The Count
at Harvard," was well received a
couple years ngo. Mr. Holland
takes as his theme the career of a
rather commonplace and not par
ticularly scrupulous young man
who comes to New York from a
small country town to seek his for
tune. He finds "Tenderloin" life
fascinating, and as he is in the em
ploy of a rascally lawyer, he is rap
idly succumbing to the evil influ
ences which surround him when a
young girl comes into his life a
young girl who is sweet and pure.
Somehow his old associates begin to
seem tawdry to him, his better na
ture asserts itself, and in the end
he proves his manhood and his en
tire worthiness to wed the charm
ing Rhoda. The transactions of
the crooked lawyer and the still
more crooked "promoter" throw an
interesting side light on one phase
of life in the modern Gotham.
Despite the vigilance cf the post
office authorities, it is safe to say
that there are still numerous enter
prises as dubious as the "National
Non-Reliable Bottle Company,"
and there probably always will be
so long as there are people gullible
enough to put their money into
get-rich-quick schemes about which
they have authoritative informa
tion. There are some wonderfully fine
short stories in this number. "As
Played by the Orchestra," by Ma
rion Hill. It deals with a troupe
of playerfolk doing "one-night
stands" about the country. "Be

handsome isme, full of human in
terest, and attractive in every way.
A discussion of "What the Em
manuel Movement Really Is" be
gins in this issue. The importance
of the subject and the standing of
the writers make this article one of
particular interest. Walter Trich
ard Eaton contributes an article on
the higher phase of acting, point
ing out, with a sure hand, the
greatest of our actresses and telling
why they are so. Alexander Dana
Noyes, Financial Editor of the
New York Evening Post, has some
thing very important to say about
women's investments. There are a
number of valuable articles on sub
jects of peculiar interest to women.
The March issue is a special
spring fashion issue announcing
the advanced spring stylos. Princess
gowns, small hats and dainty shoes
seem to be the leading notes. A
most interesting feature is a discus
sion of the colors and styles suit
able to blondes aud brunettes, tall
women and short women, stout

In addition to an exceptionally

Alice Barber Stephens aud James

illustrators.

James Magee will sail on Satur

West Indies, Panama, Venezuela,

first vacation this busy man has
taken in four years, when he .spent
several mouths in Europe. His
many friends wish him a pleasant
journey, and n safe return.
RED STARSTAMPSTORE CLOSED.
Sheriff Ent has levied upon the
stock of the Rid S'ar Stamp Store
in the Ilartman building, and the
nl.ire is locked up. The levy was
made on a writ issued by C. C.
Peacock, trustee for creditors of R.
E. Ilartman, aud was based upon
the non-navmeut ot rent, the
'
amount due being $220.
Very few of the stores arc hand

that those who have books partly
filled cdti keep them for souvenirs.
The Peruna Almanac.
The druggists have already been

most people. The mental charac-

Old-Time Shoestring.
In the old days we made strings of

In a board, place the thumb nail the
thickness of a match from It, and
quickly draw the string through the

work! Then the square string was

and the floor till perfectly round,
after which It was greased with tallow.
Such a lace would last for months,
but their shine soon wears off, giv

Substitute for Irrigation.
An Italian scientist has invented
a novel substitute for Irrigation. He
uses the fruit of the Barbary nopal,
a fig tree which bears Ogs that are
excellent reservoirs of moisture. In
the spring the scientist digs a ditch
about the foot of the tree he desires
to protect from the coming drought
and this ditch Is filled with figs cut
into thick pieces. A dense layer Is
made and beaten down. The m
ctlaglnous pulp, covered with earth,
stores up much moisture, which It
gives off gradually, watering the tree
sometimes for as long a period
four months.
It has invariably been the great effort
of the Thrice-a-Week edition of the New
York World to publish the news impar
tially in order that it may be an accurate
reporter of what has happened. It tells
the truth, irrespective of parly, and for
that reason it has achieved a position
with the public unique among papers of
its class.
