Chicago expects to have a tower which

president D. It. Proctor, and will rear
this lofty steel skeleton on the old base

a term of years 1ms been secured. This
enterprise is based on business lines, and
the projectors of the scheme intend to
equip the tower with a theater, restau
rants, searchlights and telescope, while
such entertainments as aerial flights
balloon ascensions, parachute drops aufl
high tight-rope performances, as well as
electrical and pyrotechuieal displays will
ho given. Chicago’s tower, its promoters
say, will surpass the Eiffel tower in I’aris
in point of design, magnitude and ap

All successes in lifeare the resuitof hard
work and close attention, guided by
common sense, and the poultry business
is no exception.
The Mala in the Poultry Yard,
The male in the poultry yard in sum
mer and winter is of but little conse
quence if eggs for market are desired
but in the spring the male is the most
important member of the flock. The far
mers who carefully select the best laying
hens from which to raise pullets and mate
them with scrub males are legion. To
point out how important the male Is we
will state that If a Houdan and Dorking
male is mated with a (lock of mixed hens,
every chick will have five toes, thus dem
onstrating the influence of the sire, as
the fifth toe is a peculiarity of the breed
named. Take a dozen hens of Bramah,
Cochin, Plymouth Rock, or other breeds
and mate them with a Leghorn; nearly
every chick will be of the markings and
peculiarities of the Leghorn, so strongly
as to almost Hhow no traces of the blood
of the dams. There is no advantage,
then, in selecting choice hens for pro
ducing good layers unless a careful selec
tion is also made of the male, and after
the hatching season is over he is as use
less as he was previously valuable. iVhen
pullets are to be hatched the determine
lion should be to Improve on their dams
if possible. The use of scrub males or
of those that are croBS-bred is a back
ward step. Too much attention cannot
be given to the breeding of the chicks,
whether for pullets or for market, and
the precautions used to secure choice
chicks at this'season will result in larger
profits at the end of the year.—Mirror

Squeeze the iuico from the grapes and
stra'n through cotton cloth. Put it on
the stove and bring to a boiling point
but do not let it boll. Then set aside
and let it remain over night. In the
morning strain agalo, being careful not
to let any of the sediment that will be
found In the bottom of the kettle pass
nto the strainer. Then bring to a boil
again and set aside to cool, and repeat
the straintngprooess again. The more
times this is done and the more oare
taken to keep out the sediment, the
cleaner will bo the juice. The last time
the iuice is heated it should be bottled
at once and the corks covered with wax.
I f there is no scaling wax handy, bees
wax will answer the purpose. Keep in
a coo),-dark place.
Grape Jam.—Pulp the grapes, put the
skins in one basin and the pulps in an
other. Pour the pulps in a poroelain-
llned kettle and bring to boiling p^int;
then press through a colander, add the
skins and measure. To every pint liquid
allow one-half pound sugar. Bolt sugar
and liquid twenty minutes, stirring
occasionally to prevent soorohing, and
press the whole through a sieve to make
it fine. Put up In jars or tumblers and
seal.
Spiced Grapes.—Take eight pounds
grapes, mashed and cooked enough to
strain out the seeds and skins. Put
the pulp through and add four
pounds sugar, one quart vinegar, one
tablespoon cinnamon, two teaspoons
cloves, one tablespfion allspice and sim
mer three hours.

Failures in Poultry Raising.
The. woods arc full of people who have
made a failure of poultry raising, just
the same as the country is full of people
who have made failures in every other
line of business. There is also a num
ber of poultry raisers who have made a
splendid success of their business and
aro held up as examples of what can be
done in the poultry line. It is also the
same with other lines of business. Tho
failures outnumber the successes, and
why V
In the first place many imagine that
all that is to be done in raising poultry
is to get a‘lot of hens, set them when
they want to set and let them take care
of themselves. At least that is the way
nine-tenths of the poultry raising is con
ducted through the country.
No one ever made a sucoess of any
line of business without lots of hard
work, continuous watchfulness over
every detail and keeping everlastingly
at it.
The poultry raiser must study care
fully and systematically the habits and
requirements of his birds; he must use
every precaution to prevent 'disease of
any kind getting among his Hock and
not depend on a cure; his young chicks
need and must have constant attention
from the time they are hatched till they
are two months old. In fact the man
who makes a success of poultry raising
must devote his time entirely to that
business. Of course we refer here to
conducting the business on a large scale.
Most anyone can take care of a dozen
hens and make them pay for their keep
ing. There is generally enough refuse
and scraps from the table to furnish
them with food, and again if they are al
lowed to range the quantity of bugs they
can gather will furnish them with the
necessary meat for healthful growth
and egg production. Now put one
hundred fowls on this same place and
the conditions are changed entirely, and
unless close attention is paid to their
Kouen and Pekin Ducks.
Rouen and i’ekln ducks are the two
most popular breeds. The former are
very handsome, much resembling the
wild Mallard duok in plumage. They
are very easily raised, the young being
hardy and thrifty and grow rapidly.
They are awkward in gait, and dull and
heavy in appearance, but they are
hearty feeders and lay on fat rapidly
and attain very large size. I’ekin ducks
are natives of China and are now very
popular as their desirable qualities have
beoomo fully known. They are often
mistaken for geese because of their loose,
fluffy feathers and broad, square bodies
They have yellow bills, orange colored
legs and their plumage is creamy white
and of considerable value. A full grown
pair weigh from 12 to 18 lbs. They are
very prolific, beginning to lay early in
the season and continuing until late In
summer. They are hardy,easliy raised
and bring good prices. There la a wide
spread notion that duoks will not flour
ish unless they have a pond or stream of
water in which to bathe and swim, but
this is not neoessary. The most exten
give duok growers provide only sufficient
water for drinking purposes. Duoks
find most of their living themselves and
oan be raised verv cheaply.—Farm A

Sisal Plant Culture.
A colonial paper, called Colonies and
India, says: “Regarding the sisal
dustry of the Bahamas, Dr. Morris said
the history of this Industry was inter
esting. The sisal plant had been in the
oolony for the last 50 years, and had
really become ahtndranoe to agriculture
People did not know what to do it. Sev
oral governors took the matter up. The
first of these was Mr. Bayley, in 1857
then Sir William Robinson, then Si
Ilenry Blake, who, just.as he was on the
point of developing the industry, was
transferred lo Newfoundland. It was
then taken up with great energy and en
terprise by Sir Ambrose Shea, who
really deserves the credit of having
plaoed it on a commercial basis. There
are about 12,000 acres already planted
