Put up all the roosts that you have room foriclose to the ceiling—as chickens like to be weil up—giving plenty of head room. Windows should only be half-way up the side of the building, as the glass is hard to heat. Don’t give too mtrcp ventilation; two small holes up through the ceiling will be enough ' in ‘the cold nights.—Henry Matthew, in Epitomist. THE MOLTING OF POULTRY Process Was Hastened Successfully by the Experts-at Rhode Island ' Experiment Station.

An interesting discussion is now going on among poultry raisers as to the possibility of hastening the molting of fowls. It has not been believed that any method except a steady feed of well-balanced rations would do this. There is an impression, however, -that even this does not always hasten the desired period, as the egg laying period of the summer is sometimes extended by the high feeding, thus pushing the period of molting. ' Some .one conceived the idea ‘of starving the fowls long enough to stop the production of eggs and afterward so feeding that the formation of new feathers would be begun. It was reported that great results were obtained with this method. It does not appeal to reason very much, but the little experimenting that has been done to discover what there is in it has given results favorable to the method. At the Rhode Island experiment. station, last year fowls "that were - laying were deprived of feed on the sth of August and were made to fast for 13 days. The hens finally stopped laying eggs on the seventh day of the fast. After the thirteenth day of the deprivation of food the fowls were again given food a little at a time, but of highly nitrogenous nature. In a short time the result was seen in the formation of new feathers, and within 30 days from that time the hlolting was concluded and the hens began to lay. This experiment was made with Rhode Island Reds. Whether the results can be obtained always is yet to be proved. Itisa matter, well worth looking into.

THE SEASON FOR CULLING. Now Is the Time for Sending Every Old and Superfiuous Bird to the Market. ) The season is at hand when all loafers in the poultry yard should be 7 culled out and scld. Old hens, unlikely pullets and superfluous roosters, young and old, should be placed in fattening quarters and fed for the market. It pays either the fancy poultry breeder or common market poultrymen to winter prime birds only. There is_no room to spare for non-paying fowls, and quite an amount is lost by keep-. ing the culls that are found in the best as well as the poorest flocks. Full-blooded pouitry is always in demand, and those who would sell at fancy prices must .be wery careful to closely cull down to the best specimens of varieties according to standard requirements. The breeder makes a mistake in keeping any fowls that are undersized or lacking in good natural vitality though they come from a high-priced strain. The best is none too good-for breeding purposes in the production of market: poultry just the same as in the direction of the show room. Culling severely now and keeping only the best is the way to gset business chicks next spring, strong enough to get out of the shell and grow and“thrive in spite of the vicissitudes they may encounter -during growth. - It is a good plan to dispose of hens that‘are late in molting unless they are of extra value. Such hens won’t lay eggs enough in winter to pay their board. Spring chickens are a fair price on the market the latter part of September, and the whole flock will be in better condition if they are sold closely with the other surplus fowls at this season. Then in November before the first cold snap comes to cause them to lose flesh, we fatten and dispose of the rest of the culls to give the layving hens plenty of room. Crowding the poultry house causes disease and discomfort, and it is the healthy, happy hens that lay the high-priced winter eggs.—Fanny M. Wood, in Ohio Farmer, An Incubation Experiment. In the incubation experiments, 8,677 eggs from various sources have been set in the incubators. Of these, 7,205, or 83 'per cent, were fertile. Three thousand three hundred and forty-eight, or 46 per cent., of the fertile eggs were hatched. This was 38.6 per cent. of the total number. The efficiency of hatching under various conditions ranged from 0 per cent. to 84 per cent. These experiments were planned in the direction of testing the efficiency of the machines and the influence of moisture and rcom temperature upon the hatch. —Rhode Island Staticn. ’

EDUCATING YOUNG HORSES Proper Rearing and Training of Colts Is a Task Requiring Skill and Experience. ] The horse always has' been recognized as man’s closest animal companion, and it is a question as to whether the man ever lived who did not delight in driving or riding a good horse. This subject is of particular interest to every man who raises or handles horses. An old saying is that eggs and colts are .much alike, for they must be broken before they can be used. The proper breaking of a coilt, says John Buckler, who has charge of the live stock at the lowa experiment station, determines in large part the future usefulness of the horse, and no man who has dealt in horses and experienced difficulties in their management will deny that there is much room for improvement in that line. Every day brings fresh illustrations of improper breaking. Less than a week ago a man drove down to the experiment station barn, driving a horse that had been handled for more than two years that had not been taught to back. This is only one of many similar cases. Besides the losses resulting from improper breaking, thousands of dollars are Jost to. the farmers every year by selling horses that have not been properly fitted for sale.

"In breaking, the first thing to be con«idered is the nature of thé horse. The dispositions of no two horses are exactIy alike. There is also a great difference in the draft temperament and those more highly bred, such as trotting and coach horses, the former requiring much less preparatory handling than the lattér.

After studying closely the disposition of the colt, the gflext step is to halter, and in this, as well as all other periods of the breaking, the person in charge should exercise patience. The colt should be gotten into some shed or box stall, preferably one with a ground floor, so there will be 110 danger of slipping. Now, with halter, to which is attached 15 feet of rope, gently work around the colt, caressing Kim as much as possible, o as to win his confidence, and when he sees you are not going to hurt him you can usually put the halter on without any trouble. .Now, presuming this colt to be one that will pull on the halter, take the loose end of the rope and pass it through a hole in the manger or around a post, back between th-e fore legs, -around the girth and tie. The cclt is now tied by both head and body. Step back and let him fight it out. which will take only a short time. And when tied in this way, there is no danger of injury as is sometimes the case when tied by the head only. As coon as he gives up pulling go to him and caress h‘im.‘and by so doixbz give him to understand that you are his friend. It is well to leave him tied for some little time; after which he may be led. - i b

Leading is a very important part. A horse well broken to lead is more attractive, easier to handle, and will command a higher price in the market than one that is naot. In training to lead, always teach the colt to walk beside you and never allow him to follow along behind. as is often done. This can be done by taking a whip in the left hand, touching him up a little from behind. After being well trained to walk beside You, encourage him to trot. .

' Potatoes as Feed for Hogs. Potatoes are quite largely fed to hogs, but it is found advisable to boil them. In the New England states they are fed extensively, being boiled in milk and mixed with meal in a barrel. Frequently several bushels are boiled at a time, and when mixed with cornmeal make an appetizing mess. The only fault to be found with this combination is that it is badly out of balance. The potatoes are rich in starch and so is the corn. To such of our readers as are still following the old practice we would advise the substitution of bran or of ground oats for the cornmeal. This would make a fairly well-balanced ration. The Canadians say that potatoes have a good effect on the quality of-bacon produced. There is probably no better use to which small potatoes may be put than this. —St. Louis Republic. - A Menace in In-Breeding. There is a menace in in-breeding if it is carried too far. The most careful breeders of cattle, those that have in the past built up the great herds to which we refer as the feundation of our improvements in cattle realize this and it was to them the 'most serious problem with which they had to contend. Fortunately animals increase so fast that the time is quickly reached when matings may be made between animals quite distantly related though all of the same blood.—Farmers’ Review. ‘ : Farm Management That Wins, Industry is not the only thing required on the farm. If it were, 12 great many’ men that fail would succeed. Keeping eternally at a - thing does not always bring success, in spite’ of the trite saying that it does. Intelligent management is also required. and this kind of management often requires a good .deal of information in several directions. '

Montgomery, in Orange Judd ..Farmer, < AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A CAT FEow a Homeless Kitten Found a Good Friend, a Happy Home and a New Name. It was a dark, dismal afternoon and my wounded. feelings were in keeping with the day. I had just been turned, and without ceremony, from the only home I had ever known. True, it was not a luxurious abode, but cats are not particular as to surroundings when they are simply willing to exist, but are not desirous of struggling for the amount. Everybody that passed I made an attempt to follow, but no one noticed me, and-if by accident such a thing did happen, I was certain to hear the disheartening words: ‘“Go home, kitty; go home.” Now, how could Igo home when I had none to goto? The bad boys had teased me almost beyond endurance, and a horrid big dog had chased me upa tree, where 1 was forced to remain a long time, as my trembling paws were in no condition to make so dangerous a descent. ; Night was comington arnd I had no place to lay my head. Just at this moment alady passed. Her dress was dark, but she had a bright smile, and although I had made up my mind to follow her. the pleasant invitation: ‘“Come, kitty,” gave me the happy assurance that at last I was really wanted and welcomed by somebody. If you have never been in a similar,position you don’t know how much a friend a “friend in need” is. Well, I fcllowed her -to a large stone front house, and as she went up the stairs I thought: “Is this the mansion I have fallen heir to?”” In answer tothe lady’s ring a pleasant-faced maid opened the door, and on seeing-me exclaimed: “You’ll be in luck all week, ma’am, if a cat follows you.” . The lady only smiled, but I thought: - “I’'m the one who’s in ‘luck.’” :

Just then a rosy-faced boy came bounding out to greet his mamma, and with such a rush my first impulse was to ruz away. Fear is such a terrible sensation, and my poor nerves were.so unstrung that even a mouse, low be it spoken, would have frightened me out of my remaining wits. Now a cat is net in a normal condition when a mouse has that unpleasant effect. However, the little boy patted me so gently, and seemed so pleased to make my acquaintance, that I was glad to make his. Besides, speaking of mice,l heard him say: “We won’t have any more now that kitty’s come.” This was a reassuring assertion that my. evenings would be pleasantly occupied, and that time would

Luncheon was announced, and the little boy begged that I be permitted to re‘main in the dining-room ‘‘just once,” €o there I stayed. Ithinkthelady was very fond of the little fellow, and I knew I ghould be, for she watched him all the time, while I watched her. It made me wish I had known a mother’s love, fér then the remembrance of my young days would have been happier. Well, I knew I was in good society and was equal to the emergency. I took in everything quietly, particularly the old family silver on the sideboard. However, I made no remarks about it. being a comparative stranger. I know a good thing when I see it—perhaps because I don't see it often. -

After a time the subject of a name for me was discussed, and the little boy suggested- calling me “Spot,” perhaps because he thought me only bright in spots. - While the discussion about names was going on I must have fallen asleep, for I remembered nothing more until I was awakened by being lifted off the chair, and heard the lady say: “I would call her Sleepy Hollow. because she’s the sleepiest cat I ever saw, and she’s so thin, she’s hollow!” The little fellow laughed at this, but I didn’t. My feelings were hurt, and some joke was

implied which my cat intellect couldn’t comprehend. Besides, it wasn’t my fault if I was thin. I'd be overfed if I had my way! When night came tkelittle boy wanted to take me to bed, but I ran-behind the stove, as I dislike strange bed-fellows, ang¢ then his mamma had some cbjections, too. At last, when all was still I lay in the box provided for me by the dear little boy, who had proved so kind, and thought how many deserving cats, less fortunate than I, were walking aimlessly under the blue canopy of heaven without a home. . I made up my mind I should never leave this family, but cling to them so long as they clung to me; perhaps—longer. Ingratitude was a crying sin—whatever that meant—but they should never be able to hold it against me. A plate of milk. A bed soft and warm—life seemed so full of promise. And now, looking backward on that happy stme, I could not honestly say whether it was a dream or a reality—those days so full of joy.—Chicago Record-Herald. NEWS SELLERS OF JAPAN. They Are Quite as Enterprising as Our Own Newsboys and Make Even More Noise. The newsboys of Japan have been reaping a harvest during the last six monthns. :

The people of Japan are great readers, and, besides, they are exceedingly patriotic and intensely interested in the war with Russia. 'You can see, then, how anxious they must be to get the latest news of the war. A Japanese newspaper generally has one big issue in the morning, containing news, cartoons and advertisements, about like our papers. Then after that extras® are printed all day long and sometimes up to midnight. The extras are printed on little slips of paper just large enough to contain the item which is the cause of the ex\l//‘ 7 : L DN SR T el 5 L “fi; eIl N T 7 5 =l I AN A 1 R 5 2 A\ » { \\,\\. i \‘ \\3:’ » "’;/‘,/./;f /I/ ‘&\\\l \‘l 3 ~- & s I 8 \f &\*‘ R < —_y : 7 ‘ JAPANESE NEWS SELLER. tra. These little handbills are printed only on one side of, the paper, and sometimes an extra consists of no more than 20.0 r 30 words. Then next day each paper prints its regular edition all 'the dispatches printed in the little extras of the day before, with the hour and minute of publication, and thus they keep tally on ‘“‘scoops.” All day long crowds of men and boys wait in front of the newspaper offices to get the extras. They wear very little clothing—just a short kimona and trousers, that look like loose swimming trunks.. Each one has a sash of cotton cloth tied around his waist, and to this are knotted three, four and sometimes six and seven ordinary dinner bells. The bells hang on the wearer’s hip, and as soon as he gets a bunch of extras he starts off on a_dead run down the middle of the street. The bells make a terrible clatter and the people rush out to buy the war news, for they know that the bells mean a fresh war extra. g

The extras go like hot cakes, and the boys" get all the way from five rin (which is about a quarter of a cent in our money) to five sen (or two and a half cents) for them. The bells save the boys the trouble of crying their papers, and, besides, notify everybody at once that there is some big war news on sale. SURPRISED GRIZZLY BEAR. ‘This Animal Took a Good Photograph of Himself While Examining a Camera. : Bert Gibbs is the amatequ photographer bear hunter of all Rg‘)und valley. But he doesn’t hunt that class of subjects since a big Mendocino grizzly took his camera away from him. He had shot everything in his neighborhood, and to his prized collection of snaps of living birds, squirrels and deer he longed to~add the photograph of a live bear—one with a fierce, whiskered phiz, with tongue lolling out and eyes gleaming in all the savage Qre of lowest brutedom. He was brave, was Bert, says the San Fancisco Call, and, filled with the enthusiasm of the true “fiend,” took his solitary way into the far woo.ds armed with his loaded picture box. While cautiously beating up a huckleberry patch, trying to flush his bear, he fell over a bank and badly sprained his ankle. After lying all night disabled where he had fallen, he concluded that he was doomed to remain there till he starved to death. He photographed in his mind his emaciated body found days hence, and the sad idea came to 'him to take a last “shot” at himself. He had heard that people in the last ditch always reserved last shots for their ap%rsonal uses. He would do this, and the faithful camera would give us a farewell view of him taken while dying. Then he fastened a string to the shutter of the machine, placed it on a log and was beginning to “look natural” before it when a huge grizzly lumbered out of the brush lanche. Gibbs heaved himself in one mighty spring. His ankle was disabled, but he found no difficulty in getting up a nearby tree. The bear paid no attention to «!lm, but, squatting on his haunches, proceeded to instruct himself in camera craft. He picked it up with his forepaws and was making a minute examination with eyes and nose, when the shutter snapped. The sharp sound frightened him, and, dropping the box, he galloped off into the woods.

Gibbs. came down from the tree cured of the sprain, picked’ up his camera and went home. Then he developed the photograph which the grizzly had taken of itself with the last gi~ot he had reserved for himself.

A prevailing autumnal fashion will be the closely-fitting waistcoats. They ara now shown in delicately embroidered muslins and cambrics. As the season advances silk and brocade will be seen in conjunction with smart little cutaway coats, . i

The taffeta gown is an indispensable change from the muslins and laces of summer. Everybody has at least one of these dresses in her wardrobe.

~ The owaer of even a bit of real lace is nowadays making the most of her possession, for scarcely any costume is seen without some lace decoration.

The revived fashion for mounting precious stones in an invisible setting is illustrated by sets of safety pins, each incrusted with a different stone arranged in rows.

White, putty color and pale gray cloths make the smarter coats; and white cloths with a faint tinge of palest blue, known as zine white, is extraordinarily fashionable. Touches of color are often admitted in narrow cuffs and revers.
