&X\ ESTABLIS6Q $t A o
VERY HUMAN.
I’ve seen some roosters make me think
Of fellows I have met.
They do not seein to know enough
To come In out the wet.
Some others are so nasty proud
That, though they crawl with lice.
They will not get down in the dust.
Because they are too nice.
Some crow about themselves nil day,
But never work a rap, ,
While others wear their whiskers off
Out hunting for a scrap.
Some when their hen has laid an egg
L.ikc a big jackass bray,
"There, see that eg£! Now will you say
A rooster doesn't pay?”
Yes, when wife labors hard all day
To provide needed corn
Some skip with an afllnity
And leave her all forlorn.
Some root In ugly filth all day
And even swallow rot
And. like all human muckrakers,
Should have some big duck shot.

The ModermVerdict Concerning
Alcohol
A generation ago insurance com
panies preferred the modern drinker
as a risk, now they much prefer the
abstainer.
Hospitals have lessened the con
sumption of alcohol by one half Jt wo
thirds or entirely.
Many physicians are abandoning
the use alcohol largely or entirely in
their practice.
What has brought about the
change? Alcohol has been on trial at
the bar of scientific research and
has been found a murderer and a
deceiver.
It causes a feeling of warmth,
when the body is losing heat too
rapidly.
It causes a feeling of increased
power, when the victim is weaker as
showed by instruments of precision.
It causes a feeling of intellectual
increase, when the brain and nerves
are actually retarded in their action
as shown by test.
It promises protection fron disease
and paralyzes the white cells, the i
body defenders.
It destroys reliability and efficiency ,
as every large industrial establish-1
ment can testify.
It is not the occasional drunk
who suffers most injury, but the
moderate drinker who takes daily
small doses.
Alcohol, however, exerts its most
ruinous effects upon the delicate
and sensitive structure of the body,
brain and nerve tissue,—Ex
KURIOS FROM KORRESPONDENTS
Q. I wish to kill the germ in eggs so
people cannot buy them at the store
for incubation. Does it hurt an egg to
run a pin through the large end, to
grease the egg or to dip the end in hot
water? A. Yes. By the first you often
breuk the yolk and spoil the egg; by the
second the grease gets rancid and the
egg decays and the shell looks old; by
the third the albumen gets hard and
stale and egg rots. To destroy the
hatchability without spoiling egg, take
egg In hand with point to palm and
go through stunt of throwing a ball.
This breaks supports of yolk und
turns germ upside down.
Q. How many ducks should I mate
to an India Runner drake, what is
their standard weight, how should I
make tlielr nests? A. Four t»*slx;
drake 4Vj pounds, duck 4. They lay on
ground or In water.
Q. My Cochins have very large livers,
and I have lost a cock and three hens
by It. What breed is most subject to it?
What are the cause und cure? A. Heavy
breeds, overfeeding und lack of exer
cise. Feed little, make hen? work
hard for every grain and use one
tablespoonful of sodium sulphate to
every pint of water.
Q. How much sunflower seed should
be fed to thirty fowls and when Is the
best time to feed it? A. One quart.
Feed it mostly In molting season, us It
is a feather former. Much of it should
not be fed to layers, as It Is fattening.
Q. My Plymouth Rocks when ma
tured do not reach standard within a
pound or two. Please give me a ra
tion whereby I may bring them to
standard weight or over. A. Size In
your fowls depends more on breeding
than feeding. With the best of feed
fowls have a limit. Breed from your
lnrgest birds or, If they nre all under
size. Introduce new blood by crossing
with big hens from outside or do away

NEW YORK'S HARBOR.
Excursion fares via
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
Just as humans get overheated and
take cold when leaving a badly venti
lated, crowded building, so fowls
when pucked like sardines ou a roost
take cold when they go out Into the
frosty morning air.
When u cock quits crowing or drops
down from high C he is sick, has
something twisted round his tongue or
has canker in his windpipe. A cock’s
crow is an index to his condition; a
human’s blare oft Indicates hot air.
Frozen droppings under a roost
throw off cold like a cake of Ice. This
neutralizes the body heat of fowls and
chills their Intestinal and egg organs.
Droppings should be removed to a dry
place every morning.
When from the roost you hear a rat
tling sound It’s a sign that roup germs
nre around. If yellow tips are on this
droppings seen look for a nasty flu®
and diarrhea mean.
One source of bad air In henhouses
is where droppings remain under the
roost to freeze aud thaw. Sleeping
over such a mess sorely tries the vigor
of the strongest stock.
Planer shavings make best bedding
for a hen hospital. They keep dry
longest, do not trip a weak fowl and
quickly absorb the moisture of drop
pings. Feed should be served in
troughs when using shavings or saw
dust.
“What would our great-great-grand
father say if ho should come back?”
Is often asked. Well, if he should get
back about dinner time on Christmas
The Great Upper Day Which Lies Just
Above the Narrows.
New York harbor is divided by
the Narrows, that channel passage
between Staten Island and Brook-
lyn, into two bays, the upper and
lower, much like a huge dumbbell,
save that the lower bay is the
larger, extending south from quar
antine to Sandy Hook, west to Rar
itan bay and merging eastward with
the open Atlantic. The great vol
ume of the Hudson, pouring past
Manhattan Island, through the up
per bay and the Narrows, deposits
its load of soil in this lower bay,
where red buoys mark the difficult
channel and the larger liners some
times go aground in the fog. It is
seventeen miles ns the crow flics
from the New York city hall to
Sandy Hook light. It is only six
miles to St. George, Staten Island,
which marks the head of the Nar
rows.
The upper bay, or the harbor
proper, is thus far removed from
the open sea. It is almost a lake,
some live miles on either diameter,
made hv the confluence of the Hud
son and East rivers. Within its
area and in the rivers on either side
of that long, narrow strip of divid
ing rock called Manhattan Island,
half the water commerce of a con
tinent is conducted, and over it on
ferryboats or under it in steel and
concrete tubes daily pass so many
thousands of people that the head
is dizzy reckoning their number.
At the head of it rises that An
dean range of skyscrapers on the
southern nose of Manhattan, man’s
mightiest material accomplishment
since the pyramids. Over it drifts
the smoke from a myriad chimneys
on the shore, a myriad funnels on
the water. Yet the sea fog works
up through the Narrows with the
smell of brine; a coast schooner
beats in under dirty canvas, wit.) a
broken wing, perhaps, from some
wild gale off TTatteras; the brilliant
sun flashes from a gull’s breast and
the steel grav, dancing waves—and
the call of the deep comes over you.
Your eye and your heart follow
that steamer dropping down chan
nel with the tide. You feel, as the
wash of the liner gently jiggles your
ferryboat, the heave and swing of
the long Atlantic rollers.—Walter
Prichard Eaton in Scribner’s Mag
azine.
It is related oZ a clergyman who
was the father of a charming and
beautiful daughter that one day
while preparing his Sunday sermon
he was suddenly called away from
his desk on a mission of mercy. The
sentence at which he left off was
this: “I never see a young man of
splendid physique and the promise
of a glorious manhood almost real
ized hut my heart is filled with rap
ture and delight.”
His daughter, happening to enter
the study, saw the sermon and read
the words. Sitting down, she wrote
underneath, “My sentiments, papa
exactly!”
Conditional.
A Scotsman was on his deathbed,
and his friend persuaded him to
forgive a neighbor with whom he
had had a standing feud for some
years.
The neighbor came to the dying
man’s bedside.
After they had shaken hands and
made peace the dying man ex
claimed :
