The hen is no fool.
Damp houses mean failure.
Neglect and carl ess ness breed lice.
Hens fed alike will all lay eggs that taste alike.
Ducks should have a dry house with dry litter for a roost.
The best litter for the hen house is litter from the hay loft.
Brown shelled eggs are peculiar to hens of an Asiatic strain. j
Cockerels not needed for breeding should be fattened" and sold.
Spotted or rough shells are the result of feeding grit irregularly.
Bronze turkeys do not reach maturity until they are four years
old.
A full and regular supply of grit and shell influences the clean

Turkeys should be given a light feed in the morning but a heavy

Manage to give fowls a variety of food instead of a sameness

Fowls appear to be the only living thing which are affected

In shipping dressed poultry to market never pack it until all the
animal heat is cooled off.
Ducks do not necessarily require a pond to swim in, but they
must have plenty of good water to drink.
Three things in the henhouse keep the profits down: —Over
! crowding, over feeding, and overrun with lice.
Sunshine and pure water are needed by the hens at all times. —
i They do not cost much and should be freely provided.
A carload of fresh eggs was shipped east from San Francisco a
few days ago. This is not an uncommon thing at this season of the
year.
Practical and experienced breeders contend that fresh cut bone
should be fed regularly. While it should be mixed with other food
it can be fed by itself for a day or two when a change in rations
is desired.
You cannot sell your stock or eggs to good advantage without
you let people know you have them. If you want to sell to good
buyers try the columns of this paper. It is the steady, persistent
advertiser who gets the business.
A Youthful 20th Century Editor.
W. H. Durham, in the Colorado Weekly Times, writing for the
children’s page, tells of Lee Johnsone, 13 years old, the youngest
| editor in the state ol Illinois. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Johnsone of 717 Alby street, Alton, Ills., and his paper of which he
is also the proprietor, is the New Century.
This youthful and ambitious editor prints his paper, which con
sists of six pages of bright editorial stuff, every Wednesday. These
i columns are liberally filled with advertising, and it circulates in many
Alton homes. The boy is not only a successful editor, but thus far
has solved the art of financing a newspaper. Editor Johnsone, in
! addition to the duties of writing for and soliciting subscriptions and*
advertising for the New' Century, attends an Alton public school,
jand is one of its brightest scholars. In classes he is several years in
advance of pupils of his age, and he is held up as an example for
em illation to other pupils by his instructors.
“I began the publication of the New Century about six months
ago, because it offered me an opportunity to exploit my views and
gave me an unoccupied field in which to work,” said Editor Johnsone
to an interviewer. “I write my own news and editorial matter, set
|up the type and manage the business end ot the publication. I have
my hands full, but I think hard work is good for me. The policy of
my paper is independent. I will not allow my paper to be made the
tool of politicians. * I write on all kinds of subjects. I have my
views on religion and philosophy, and while it is a good idea to print
some religious news and discussions, it won’t do to allow any de
nominationalism to creep in. * I hope to be the editor and propri
i etor of a daily newspaper by the time lam 21. I expect to have
considerable experience by that time, and still not neglect my
education. The business has a fascination for me, and my success in
my first enterprise has given me the encouragement to bend my
energies to accomplish greater things.”
Editor Johnsone has decidedly come out in favor of the proposi
tion of the Alton Christian civic federation to close the saloons on
Sunday and to fight the consumption of cigarettes. To this work
lie is giving more space than to any other one subject.
We glory in the enterprise of this youngster and bespeak for
him and his New Century a national patronage. Our juvenile pop
ulation, especially, should patronize him. They can scarcely be led
astray by the writings of this youthful philosopher. At least, boys,
send him a 2c. stamp for a sample copy of his paper. G. r.'E. h.
When Edison Could Hear.
Thomas A. Edison is deaf, but, like many whose'|hearing is
defective, he sometimes understands what is said when least expected
to comprehend. There were visitors one day at his laboratory, to
whom, as usual he was polite, although busy, and he patiently answered
many questions unnecessarily shouted at him. Finally one of the
i visitors, the* humorist of the party, said to another: “Everybody
1 would hear if we asked him to take a drink.” “Yes,” said Edison,
i looking directly at the man, and smiling, “yes, even I; but no, thank
: you; not today.”—New York Tribune.

Uncle Sam’s Usual Whopper.
When M,r. Gallot went through
the United States with Mile. D’Jeck,
the celebrated elephant, he one
evening was warm in his praises of
the hospitalities and socialities of
the mother country.
Amid other instances he quoted
one of the Rutland punchbowl,
which on the christening of the
young marquis was built so large
that a small boat was actually set
sailing upon it, in which a boy sat
who ladled out the liquor.
“I guess,” said one of the com
pany, “I’ve seen a bowl that ’ud
beat that to immortal smash, for at
my brother’s christening the bowl
was so deep that when we young
uns said it warn’t sweet enough fa
ther sent a man down in a diving
bell to stir up the sugar at the bot
tom.” —Edinburgh Scotsman.
Slave to a Pillow.
There is in this city a young man
who sleeps on a pillow that is one foot
square and only four inches thick, o
pillow that resembles a pancake. He
has used It ever since he was a baby.
When, at the age of twelve, he entered
St. Paul's school, he took it all the way
to New Hampshire with him, and
when he entered Harvard he took it to
Cambridge also. Starting on his wed
ding Journey, he carried it in his suit
case. When he went abroad, the pil
low went along. And now, when he is
twenty-five, he is more attached to the
tiny thing than ever and will take it on
the briefest trips—on trips of a day,
say, to New York or on trips over night
to the country houses of his friends.
He says that be has not once slept on
anything but this pillow since he waa
seven years old.—Philadelphia Record.
Sadness Explained.
In Liverpool recently a sentimental
young lady was on the Cunard steam
ship quay when she saw a young girl
sitting on a trunk in an attitude of ut
ter dejection and despair.
"Poor thing!" thought the romantic
lady. “She is probably alone and a
stranger. Her pale cheeks and great,
sad eyes tell of a broken heart and a
yearning for sympathy.” So she went
over to the traveler to win her confi
dence.
“Crossed in love?” she asked sympa
thetleally.
“No,” replied the girl, with a sigh,
“crossed iu the Servia. and an awfully
rough passage too.”—Tit-Bits.
Tbe Dead One.
An old colored woman was “taking
on” the other day over the death of
her baby as she was going from the
church to the back which was to take
her to the cemetery. A white woman
who knew her happened to be passing
and said sympathetically:
“Which one of your children is dead.
Aunt Eliza?”
“The one In the hearse,” moaned the
negress.—Atchison Globe.
Oxygen.
Oxygen forms one-fifth of the atmos
phere, eight-ninths of the waters and,
taking all together, one-half of all the
materials of the globe, so far as they
are known. As carbon is the basis of
all the organic substances of the world,
•o oxygen, the supporter of life and
combustion, represents its living ener
gies.
It is easy enough to smile when yon
tread upon rose leaves, but try it when
each step leaves blood prints upon the
thorns. Some of the lines In your face

Mexican Mustang Liniment
is excellent for Rheumatism and all deep-seated pains.
For Sprains and Strains
it is useless to apply a liniment that remains on or near

Mexican

Liniment
is the best thing to use for Sprains and Strains. It pen

Don’t be stingy in using the liniment nor fail to rub it
in as thoroughly as the soreness will permit.

Gentlemen: I write this testimonial from a sense of duty, having tested
the wonderful effect of your Asthmaiene, for the cure of Asthma. My wife has
been afflicted with spasmodic asthma for the past 12 years. Having exhausted
my own skill as well as many others, I chanced to see your sign upon your win
dows on 130th street, New York, I at once obtained a bottle of Asthmaiene. My
wife commenced taking it about the first of November. I very soon noticed a
radical improvement. After using one bottle her Asthma has disappeared and
she is entirely free from all symptoms. I feel that I can consistently recom
mend the medicine to all who are afflicted with this distressing disease.
Yours respectfully, O. D. PHELPS. M. D.

It brings instant relief in the worst
cases. It cures when all else fails.
The Rev. C. F. WELLS, of Villa Ridge,

lene received in good condition. I cannot
tell you how thankful I feel for the good
derived from it. I was a slave, chained
with putrid sore throat and Asthma for
ten years. I despaired of ever being
cured. I saw your advertisement for the
cure of this dreadful and tormenting dis
ease, Asthma, and thought you had over
spoken yourselves, but resolved to give it
a trial. To my astonishment, the trial
acted like a charm. Send me a full size
