Grandma tried to sca'e cluckin' out of her "settin'' hens by clipping off their conclusion. but the bobtaIled broodles didn't conclude-they "sot' on. Grandir took the screechers by the neck and ducked 'em in the wa terin trough, but that didn't often cool their ardor. Now John Etughouse says: "Jist pen 'em up In the dark fur four days th no feed or water. That'Il fetch m But no Bughouse tactics in our coop. If such cruel treatment doesn't kill the ben It retards her quick return tc laying, and that's what re don't want. Broody hens are often broken by simply turning them on the green or placing them In a pen where there Is no nest or nesting material and put ting them on the roost after dark. If you have birds of Leghorn style just,tle a two foot red flannel stream er to abeir tais. They will be scared out'e$ clucking quick. If you have a turkeg gobbler bandy turn him ot the scene, and when he sees that taunting dlannel you'll view the most amusing moving picture show you've seen. Heavy breeds aren't aff by this trick. They consider the bon an ornament to their peroration. Many place their broodles~in a box width a slat bottom. The air circulat lng under them cools their fever. An easy way is to place the broody witli'a snappy cockereL He will makei life lively for her. A screech and off they go. He will chase her up a tree. His impetuosity will cause her such strenuosity that she will be so busy trying to escape him that the soft nest and downy chicks will be forgotten. and the exercise will do her good. DON'TS. Dont m:tke a fattening crate with a solid floor and top. Slat top for venti lationt slnt bottom, sanitation. Don't beleve that concrete causes corns on the feet. Nothing fitter than concrete and litter. Don't sacrifice the paying qualities of your fowls to get pretty form and feathers. Feathers may win at the show, but money makes the mare go. Don't forget that private trade is best. especially for eggs right fromn the nest Don't ge~t too scientific, that's nit; he up to date, have common sense. that's it. Don't hide away knowledge if just back from college, but prove your theories In private before you give them to the universe. You may have a block of laughingstock. Doiz't think when you cheat a man throu* the mail that you are not drtirln* a nail Into your business finale. Don't expect too much from your ad rertising the fi'st season. With ads.. as with all else. there's reason. *EXPERIENCE THE BEST TEACH ER." If you have heard It once you have heard It a bundred times. -aperien:ce Is the best teacher."

Thus. having no heated home leg ging after him around the lot, he mast find his way back and is apt to stray Thus before turning him loose on the world it is wise to have him play in a brooder front yard until he be cowcs accustomed to the place. For this purpose we use screen coops si feet square, fifteen inches high. with a frame made of 1 by 2 inch stuff. covered with inch mesh. The open end fits the bro'oder. and we often string six of these screens in a row, and thus the chicks have a run G by 3C feet. This is the correct size for hen and chicks also. and here the brood is safe from pests. As some keep oil and young stock on the same ground. the old birds rob the chicks at feed time. By placing a block under the cor ners of this screen to afford entrance the chicks may feed underneath at pleasure and -et their share in peace. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. Rtobins at 10 cents a dozen is one thing seen in Tennessee markets that surprises northern bird lovers. It Is claimed 150.000 have been slaughtered for this paltry price in three weeks. They are killed at their roosts. one man killing 2.G00 of these insectivorous birds In a night. That act would have cost him 2G.O00 In Pennsylvania. Hens fed on corn alone :ay a flabby e-.. deficient in cell structure. weak In fertility. and healthy chicks from such eggs are very few. Salt poisoning and diarrhea often fol low the feediug of scraps from hotel tables. The mixture contains acid vinegar. salty meat scraps and mustard d'd is nearly always fermented before the bens rummage through It. A Lancaster (Pa.) tenant adopted a new way to pay Tent when he stole the landlord's chickens and with the proceeds settled his arrears. He re celved nine months' free lodging for the act. Chicago :s the great cold storage center of the United States. Its~ egg warehouses have a capacity for 1.000. 000 cases. A case contains thirty doz en, and it cost 30 cents a case for the storage period. April to January. Seventy-two million eggs were taken off' the Chicago market on April 7 to keep up the retail price, and agents were bustling all over the central west to gather in the eggs for the trust so they might not reach the city and be sold to the people att a reasonable price. And 'et we say. "We are the people." In the time of Audubon wild turkeys weighing twelve pounds were sold in market at threepence (6 centsi each. In the last fifty years this noble bIrd has been almost wiped off the map. What a ben eats a year depends on the breed and strain of chicken. wheth she Is a layer or loafer, on th, Iate, on the way she Is housed. on her age, on what she adds to her ration by foraging. on the kind and quality of feed, on the hen's vigor and on the fellow that does the feeding and for what purpose she Is fed. Hens on free range eat from sixty to ninety pounds of supplied feed when a sy's tematic method Is used. &9e a HE AMUSED THE CUBS. Then thte Young Lions Took a Turn at Amusing Him. A negro attached to an African hunt Ing party met with a curious adven ture, says an English paper. Wandee ig one day from camp. he surprised two lion cubs at play and thoughtless ly commenced to amuse themi. Heu was only too successful. The big cubs gam oled fearlessly about him and to his dimay refused to desist when be wished to leave t hem. Realzing the danger to which he woeld be expo.-ed shIould the mother appear, he bej.-dn to run. but the cubs refused to be shaken ogf and in their play scratched his legs In fearful fashion. That the creatures were thoroughly enjoying themselves was evident from their manifestations of delight, and before long their unusual cries brought a lioness leaping to the spot. Trembling In every limb, the negro faced the growling animnal, while the cubs continued to jump up at him, eager for further caresses. The en raged lioness moved round uneasily in clrcle. man and beast keeping Itheir eyes ste'adily on eatch other. Ser eral tine the lioness erouched to spring. but the man, from fear, never shifted his ame. At length. after what seemued an age. Iwhen thbe neg,.ro was ready to drop froma exhaustion, the animal suddenly cahed her cubs- away a nd disappeared into the su:-runding se.rub. An Artists Struggles.

In the early days of traveling b: stagccoach across the rocky moun tains the trip was likely to be reliever of monotony by incidents of no ordi nary occurrence. lit the fatigue o: the journey was apt to wear upon thi nerves of the weak :nd the timid Sometimes the passengers became s< worn out as to lead to a suspicion o: their sani:y. The Right Iter. D. S Tuttle in his "Reminiscences of a Mis sionary Bishop' describes zc Instanc< in point. One forenoon the coach rolled int< Denver. and the six horses came pranc ilig up to the office of Wells. Fargo J Co. A large crowd was assembled. a: the incoming and the outgoing pf th, daily coaches were the great event: for the town. At the stop the only passenger quick ly threw open the coach door. leaper to the ground. ran hurriedly across thi street antn. turning a handspring stood on his head wit!h L's heels ul against a supporting wail.

ThL standing on my bead is the only posi tion which I haven't bee in durin the last twenty-four hours in yonde coach. and I wanted to make thi thing harmonious and complete al round." IN A CHINESE BANK. The Way the Clerks Use the Abacui and Counting Boards.

"We d< not know. for example, whether the planet Venus rotates. if it does it maj possibly have a life and a vegetatiot like our own, though we suspect thal it is clothed in eternal cloud. OY Sturn's rings we cannot say whethe: they consist of millions of tiny mooni like brickbats or whether they may be even smaller still-a veil of shinini dust.

According to adver tisement. a man was to "play on a common walking cane the music of every instrument now used to per fection. get into a quart bottle with out equivocation and while there sing several songs." besides doing other things only a little less marvelous more marvelous that the theater should have been packed with spec tators. including many of the nobility and the Duke of Cumberland of Cullo den fame.
