POULTRY FEEDING. .it Rule Is Common Sense —Give Fowls Food That Is Nourishing. The best rule for feeding poultry is common sense; the health and useful ness of fowls does not depend on fol lowing rules so much as on getting an adequate supply of palatable food. Changing the food several times dally is no better than making the same Dhanges as often each week. This may be seen from the rules prac '.iced by successful poultrymen, says he Orange Judd Farmer. Notice the 'ollowing: Mash of bran and middlings, bran ind corn meal, bran only, various ;rains ground together. These va lous mashes fed morning, noon or light, in amounts varying from a poonful to a crop full. Some poultry nen give no mash at all. Again.somo :eep beef scraps before the fowls at .11 times, others give an ounce every econd day. Some give as much green •oue each day as the hens will eat; :hers half an ounce on alternate 'ys. Some mix grit, charcoal and cut lover with the mash, others feed hem separately. It's up to you; but our neighbor may have equal success y an opposite practice. Principle is bove rule. HOW TO SELL HONEY. /ay in Which One Farmer Disposes of His Product With Profit. Not wishing to send my honey to jmmission men and help to over ock the market and lower the price, have always tried to be my own lesman. I have tried selling honey many ways. The most pleasant id successful way is selling by sain e. I find October and November the ;st months in the year to sell honey. I select a pleasant day, put In my tcliel some nice samples of comb / id extracted honey and beeswax, '■ aunt my bicycle and start for neigh •rlng towns and cities, says the ■iter in Farm and Home. I visit the iding grocers and show my honey, guarantee everything to be as good the samples shown and promise to liver honey safe, sound and clean. ;e from breakage or drip, and most vays effect a sale.

During the past three years I have made a good many experiments in trying to perfect a simple mechanical device and to evolve a system of manipulation togo with it that would unable the apiarist to control swarm ing effectually, secure a crop of honey, and requeen his colonies at one and the same time; and having met with good success along tho lines of my experimenting I have concluded to tell the bee-keeping public the re suits of my work, writes J. E. Cham bers, of Vigo, Texas, in Gleanings in Bee Culture. In the illustrations, A. represents the top story of a hive, and B the j bottom or the lower story, with the | dividing board and chute In correct j position on the hive; and the entire construction and method of applica tion are so clearly shown that any extended description is unnecessary. The dividing board is simply a board cleated on the two upper sides and rear end. The front is not cleat ed, and forms the opening shown at H. The passage holes are bored | through ,and covered with zinc, as shown DD. The purpose of these j holes is to maintain a certain degree of communication between the two hive bodies, and to guard against the possibility of the young bees in hive > A deserting in too great force. In the rear end of the dividing board a small opening covered with zinc is shown at E. This serves, as a Wight hole, ai-J helps to arrest and fix a certain number of bees; for by num- ! erous experiments I found that, with- j out these holes to act ao counter checks, tlio entire force will deceit from hive A above, thus leaving the brood and queen unprotected to starve; but -through the holes D 1J sufficient nurse bees come up from hTve B to prevent this, and this trou ble is overcome. The chute is made by nailii. % to gether two pieces of timber, lxl, six inches long, and one piece lxl, 14 inches long, and covering one side by nailing on a thin board six inches Arrangement of Hive. wide and 14 long, as shown at C, and attaching a strip of zinc one inch wide and 14 long over the exist, shown at G. For deep hives it might be advisable to make the chute a little deeper than six inches, in order to bring the flight of outgoing young bees down nearer to the entrance shown at F, thereby causing them to mix up with the field force going in there; but in no case should the exit G be nearer to the entrance F than 4 inches; for if brought in direct con tact it might induce some of the bees togo back "by the route they came, though the perforated zinc acts as a great check on such an attempt. In using this device there are three different systems of manipulating, any one of which can be used with good results. The one I use mostly in my own apiaries is, I think, the best and easiest for extracting colonies; but j 1 P' ■ la I I 4# • 1 >dL {j Sectional View of Hive. for comb honey either of the others Is better. Just as soon as a colony makes preparations to swarm I be gin work. Selecting one comb and adhering bees I make sure that the queen is not on it. This comb should contain two or three cells well started. I now place this comb in the center of the hive represented by B, and fill up the vacant spaces with empty combs or full sheets of foundation, as bees working under these conditions can not be depended onto build combs. I now place the dividing board in position, as shown in the illustration, and set hive A over it. Nailing on the chute completes the operation for the present, except that a record of the stage of development, in which the cells were at the time of manipulating must be kept, and should be marked on the hive so as to be readily seen. With this record to go by, the hive can be opened at the proper time and all cells cut, except one of the best. The hive is then closed, and requires no further atten tion until time to remove the dividing I board and reunite the colony, which is j as soon after the young queen begins ' to lay as possible.

Scientific Means of Detecting the Pres ence of Kidney Disease, Diabetes or Tuberculosis. Among recent advances in Medical Science bringing the greatest benefits to Humanity, Chemical and Microscop ical analyses for early detection of Diabetes, Kidney and Lung Troubles, are probably the greatest. When no such analyses were made, these dis eases reached advance stages before being discovered; especially in women and children; now, we have only to send specimens to an Analyst, to deter mine their existence, thereby enabling the patient to be treated in the earliest stage and the progress watched. Sta tistics show that two-fifths of all adults having Kidney Disease die within ten years of their being declined by Life Insurance Companies. At least 75 per cent of these could have been saved, had they taken the precaution of hav ing an early analysis made. Progres sive Physicians think it only prudent for everyone to have an anlysis made once a year, even if no disease is sus pected. Through "Preventive Medi cine" and such popular instruction as ' this by the public press, disease is de creasing. Intelligent people know it is better, and cheaper to keep well than to be made well. Insurance Companies blacklist many for Kidney diseases, or Diabetes, who could escape this seri ous and often unjust action, by hav ing an analysis made in advance by an Expert. Once blacklisted, it is dif ficult to obtain insurance in any reputable Company. Family Physi cians are too busy, or without the special training and apparatus to do analytical work; but it has assumed such importance that In New York City a prominent Physician and Analyst makes a specialty of it, fur nishing preservatives and mailing cases by mcan3 of which specimens can be mailed even from Europe. Space docs not permit further de tails of this important subject, but those interested can obtain additional information by addressing Manhattan Laboratory, Box 97, N. Y. City. The I cost of such analysis is so trifling, when the advantages of detecting these diseases in their early stages is considered, as to be hardly worth mentioning. The laboratory only makes analyses and does not prescribe. Hia Only Concern. A well known member of the New York bar, a man of most patronizing manner, one day met John G. Car lisle, to whom he observed loftily. 1 "I see, Carlisle, that the supreme court has overruled you in the case of Mullins versus Jenkinson. But," he added, in his grand way, "you, Car lisle, need feel no concern about your ' reputation." Carlisle chuckled. "Quite so," he agreed. "I'm only concerned for the reputation of the supreme court."— Harper's Weekly. French State Monopolies. State monopolies are more than ever in favor in France as a means of raising revenue to the prejudice of private enterprise. A committee of the chamber of deputies has been ap pointed, with a foreign minister of finance as chairman, to collect infor mation on the possible working of monopolies on sugar and petroleum refining, the rectification of alcohol, and insurance.

Lord Kelvin paid a visit to the Brit ish schoolship for navigatin®' officers at Portsmouth, on which are several mechanical contrivances and appli ances of his own invention. The prac tical working of these had to be dem onstrated and explained to him. Lord I Kelvin understood the theoretical principles of the mechanism, but had never seen them applied and at work before.

No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain and Nerves. Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in day time. To take "tonics and stimn lants" under such circumstances is Jike setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes re freshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says; "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medi cine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnaw ing feeling would start up, and I vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely. "My mother was very much both ered with diarrhea before commenc ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom ach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a "bad stomach." There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape- Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle I Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY. In the opinion of one who has trav eled much and observed closely, the most truly and rightfully contented people in the United States to-day are the small landowners in what Is known as the Upper White River Coun try, anywhere from Newport, Ark., to Carthage, Mo. They are contented be cause their surroundings are ideal and, until recently, the great, uneasy, dis quieting world, with its artificial need 3 and inadequate compensations, has been to them but little more tangible than a dream. Here, still existent, and by reason of their very rarity at this day and time more delectable than in the past, are the conditions which have ever appealed with Irre sistible force to the independent-spir ited Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the supreme ruler of his own little prin cipality; acknowledging no master save the law—and possibly his fem inine helpmeet; cringing to no em ployer; asking no favors from the world, save those that his neighbors freely extend and expect as freely in return. He lives in a latitude where the extremes of heat or cold are never known, and at an altitude that Insures perfect health. The richest bounty of Nature has been showered upon him with unsparing hand, but it is a question whether he more than dimly realizes the fact. He accepts as a mat ter of course the fertile soil which produces in abundance every cultiv able growth common to the north temperate zone, the surrounding for ests of valuable woods and the under lying stratas of precious minerals, the springs and streams of translucent purity on every hand, the wealth of fish and game at his very door, such as less favored mortals annually travel hundreds cf miles to find. Ho 13 con tented, but small credit io his for that, for hew could he well be otherwise than content? It is sad that such idealistic conditions may not con tinue, but it is written that the pres ent possessors of this favored land must soon give place to others more appreciative of Its incomparable fea tures. A railroad has recently cut its way through the best of this region, and the unaccustomed rustle of bank notes and chink of coin will eventually tempt the hill-dweller to part with his birthright. So it has always been In the world's history—the good things that are ours without price Invariably pass from our hand's before we come to underst ,nd their value. The White River country will shortly be discov ered anew by a class of Immigrants better capable of judging its possibil ities —the men who seek modest where the "lay of the land" will effectually prevent crowding by too close neighbors, where their cat tle can fatten on free range, where the wea th of forest and mine awaits development by intelligent workers, and where the game and fish offer en joyable recreation to all who have leisure and inclination for sport.

Wonld Scratch and Tear the Flesh Un less Hands Were Tied—"Would Have Died But for Cuticura." "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on 1 '.s face. I had a physi cian treat hiin, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one c?me on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment.« I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Oint ment, and at the em of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. P. D.

A few years ago the foreign mis ■ionary schools were practically th# only institutions in Foochow offering facilitioe for the acquisition of west ern learning. There are now at least 30 native schools fashioned after the foreign model. Foochow is a city of 600,000 inhabitants, and these schools embrace about 2,000 students. Post ers placarded all over the city adver tise the opening of various modern schools, which ara springing up in every nook and corner of the place.

Four-fifths of the population of London, the Times asserts, have never seen It in their lives. Those who know what It is have great difficulty in procuring It, and cannot obtain It in many cases at any price. What Is called genuine butter in London, the Times says, is blended and reworked butter. ERRORS ABOUT TUB WHITE HOUB2. To the Editor: I noticed somewhere recently— l would not say positively that it was In your columns —an article on the White House which contained several mis statements. In the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 1809 and that its first occupant was President Madison. The fact Is, its first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there In 1800. The original mansion was begun in 1792. In 1814 it was burned by the British and rebuilt In 1818. Another of the errors In the article referred to was the statement that ready-prepared paint is used on the White House to make It beautifully white. I noticed this especially because I have used com -derable paint myself and 1 ondered that "cannd" paint shoulo be used on such an important buildin * when all painters know that pure w ite lead and linseed oil make the bus paint. It so lappened also that I knew white lea \ and linseed oil —not ready mixed pai.it—were ustd on the White House, because I had just read a book let published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers who also manu facture pure white lead. In that book the manufacturers admitted that for the White House nothing but "the best and purest of paint could be used," and said that their pure white lead had been selected. Above all people, tose who attempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even if it Is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, or other building material.
