Grain is the staple food for poultry, will be used for that purpose as long as fowls are kept on farms; but bens cannot give good results on grain alone. It is beneficial to them, and will be at all times relished, but the demands of the hen are such as to call for a variety. In the shells of eggs, as well as their composition, are several forms of mineral matter and nitrogen, which can only be partially obtained from grain. Even though grains carry in com position for a long time, hens will be gin to refuse it, as they may be over supplied from other sources. For this reason they will accept a change of food which is of itself evidence that the best results for his hens can only be obtained from a variety of food. Corn and wheat may be used as food with advantage, but must be given as a portion of the ration only, and not made exclusive articles of diet. In grain the principle articles or ele ments required to keep a hen in good laying condition are found, and it is for this reason that your hens may continue to lay for some time if only given grain, provided they. And the other elements necessary while run ning around the farm. But the trou ble with this manner of feeding is that it is too uncertain. You are taking the chance of the hen finding the other elements re quired. No hen has ever laid an egg unless she has taken into her system elements from the vegetable, animal and mineral kingdoms. Grain can re present the vegetable kingdom, bugs or insects, the animal, and grit or oyster shell, the mineral. It ls abso lutely necessary that every hen par take of these elements before she can produce a single egg. _}_ HOPPER FOR LITTLE CHICKS Device Illustrated May Be Enlarged and Used for Older Stock-Con struction ls Simple. The hopper illustrated below will hold one bushel of feed, and is intend ed for growing chicks, though by en larging the size it may be used for old Umyfeettrjtfg end \S/*inches dtep; I ' Cofiactty / ?>uS, j Dry Mash Hopper. er stock. It is well, however, to keep the dimensions of the feed opening the same, this opening being specially designed to prevent waste. The ends are made of one-inch material, and the rest of the hopper of half-inch stuff. Any lumber that is at hand may be used, and the construction is so simple that anyone able to use a hammer and saw can knock one to gether in a very short time. FATTEN CHICKENS FOR TABLE Fowls Should Be P'aced in Portable Pen Without Crowding-Feed Sparingly for Three Days. Prepare a portable pen by nailing strips of lumber together to form a frame, and then tacking on pieces horizontally, so as to make an en closure, leaving sufficient opening to give light and ventilation. The pen, writes a Virginia man in the Epito mist, should be floored, and sufficient outlet left for the droppings. A roof should be made, and without leaks. The whole should be made large enough for ample accommodations, depending upon the number of birds to be kept In. Only fowls that are peaceable should be kept together. Do not overfeed at first; after two or three days give all that they will eat up clean, and be sure to give wa ter after they have finished eating. Give buttermilk occasionally, as most fowls like it. Sprinkle sand, gravel or charcoal In the pen occasionally In from one to two weeks fowl; should be in good condition for eat ing, if there is nothing wrong witl them WASHED UP BY THE WAVES Innumerable Articles, Many of Valus, Reward Search Made Along ths New York Beaches. Along the beach at Manhattan and Brighton, as well as at the Rockaways, articles aggregating $100 in value aro picked up every morning, relates the New York Herald. And this amount is considered by the regulars along those Bhores to be a very conservative* estimate. The articles found range from tho gold filling of a tooth to a cork leg. And you need not think the cork leg statement is drawing it with a long bow, There was one washed ashore the last week in June. It belonged to James J. Fitzsim mons, cook on a Maine coasting schooner. Fitzsimmons had removed lt, so lt came out afterward in a Wa ter street tavern, so that he might in dulge in a hath. The schooner lurched. So did the cork leg. Fitzsimmons wailed an alarm, but the skipper, be ing in a hurry to make a Maine port at a particular hour, refused to luff and pick the leg up. So it washed ashore and its identity was revealed hy a brass plate containing the own er's name and New York address. It was sent back by parcel post Every now and then a wig is picked up. The supposition is that the owner was swimming at night and was over confident that his top piece would re main on his head when he dived. Lock ets and chains are found in numbers. It is likely they are kept on the neck by girls and women when they don bathing costume and slip off when their owners are frolicking in the waves. Of course they are dropped close to the shore line or they would never be seen again. The constant rolling shoreward of the waves grad ually forces them into view. Watches, chains, finger.rings, scarf pins, cuff links, studs, eyeglasses, belts, fountain pens, key rings, full sets of artificial teeth, garters, cra vats, hatpins, canes, umbrellas, crutch es, shoe buckles, gold hairpins, purses and scorts of other things .are among the daily morning finds. Bird That Has Four Legs. British Guiana boasts of one of the few survivors of the many peculiar birds now known mostly as fossils, according to a writer in Our Dumb Animals. This is the crested hoact zin, and may be found only in very dense and unexplored forests. The hoactzin is noted chiefly for its pe culiarity in possessing four well de veloped legs. This would never be suspected In the adult bird, inasmuch as a certain modification begins while the bird' is yet young, whereby the claw-like legs or hands become shaped like wings, and feathers are grown, so that when this bird gets its full plum age there is nothing left from which one would suspect that these wings were once legs. The young birds, before this modi fication does take place, leave the nest and climb or scramble over the limbs not unlike tree toads or young monkeys. They feed on the young arum leaves and are in this young state the nearest approach to a quad ruped of any bird. Buggy Ride With Her. Did you ever take a buggy ride in the still o? the evening, down the winding turns of a country pike, with the fair one by your side? If BO, 'nutt said. With a proper sense of propor tion, the old-time buggy was made to hold exactly one and a half. The re sult was propinquity-also bliss. Along the road-all too short-you drove. Moo cows mooed in the dis tance. Anxious mothers came to the door and cried: "W-i-l-l-i-e!" But you were lost to bovine plaints and maternal solicitudes. Pungent odors from the dog fennel mingled with the faint perfume of the thistle's bloom. The night dew lay on the fields, star light drenched the earth and you dis covered you had a soul. The air was chill, and you fixed a shawl. Hands touched and withdrew, followed by most eloquent and ecstatic silence. Then came the parting, as you "hand ed" her out at the gate. A whispered good-by, lest any other hear, and a retreating vision of a rosebud fairer than John D.'s pastor ever dreamed of.-Washington Post. Persian Carpets. A law has been passed by the shah of Persia forbidding persons to weave carpets according to European design. Violation of the enactment is a crimi nal offense, and the imperative atti tude taken will have a greater tend ency than ever to raise the Persian carpet or rug in esteem. Often a Per sian carpet will remain in the family for generations, such careful treat ment does it receive. When the owner of a valuable carpet dies he very often gives-instructions that it?-Fhsll he cut np in pieces as heirlooms to his suc cessors, and should a member of the family not receive a portion he would feel very greatly slighted. The designs of Persian carpets have been handed down from remote ages. Each family keeps its own design, no two carpets being alike for fear of the Evil Eye. Unpardonably Behind. " The American chorus girl, who is now invading London with great suc cess, is nothing if not up to data Mr. George Arliss, whose perform ances in "Disraeli" are arousing so much interest, illustrates this with a story. "You are behind the times over here," said a pink and pretty 1 American show girl. "Why, I notice that 'Twelfth Night' is playing in one of the Strand theaters and we had that two years ago on Broadway."
