The following confession of a novel
ist as to the method in which he wrote
one of his books is not without inter
est. He had had the story outlined in
his notebook for a long time and ought
to have been able to write it, hut did
not feel able. Then one day he hap
pened to think of it again and saw, al
most as if it had been a stage scene,
tire little tableau with which the book
was to close—one of those ends which
are also a beginning. So he began to
work and in a short time had complet
ed the first three chapters. Then, for
no reason that he can give, there was a
jump, and he wrote the chapters which
are now numbered XXI and XXII, tne
last in the book. Then he went back
and wrote straight on from IV to XVII.
The story had been with him so long
that it was the easiest thing .in the
world to write it, and so he got through
this part of the work with remarkable
celerity. In the eighteenth chapter
nothing happens. Every day for a
fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried
to write that chapter; every night he
tore up a big pile of manuscript which
he knew to be hopelessly, bad. Then
he got desperate. The chapter should
he written and should stand, whether
good or had. He wrote it and left the
house because it was had and he had
resolved not to tear it up. Id ext day
he wrote chapter XIX, and on the mor
row he rewrote chapter XVIII and
somehow or other contrived to get into
it all that he had failed.to get before.
Then he wrote chapter XX. and the
book was completed.—London Post.
A SALE OF WARTS.
Obeyed Orders.
An old Yorkshire farmer was walk
ing out one day looking very glum and
miserable. He was a typical York-
sbireman, and he dearly loved a joke.
But jokes seemed a long way off just
then, and the old man was thinking
deeply when he was accosted by a
tramp, who made the usual request for
a night’s lodgings and something to
eat, as he explained he had had noth
ing for two whole days. The effect
upon the farmer when he said this was
magical.
“Why, man,” he said, “I've been lock
ing for you all day.”
And then without more ado he
knocked him down and walked on him
from one end to the other. The tramp
got up, looking very staggered, and
asked him why he had done that.
"Well,” said he, “my doctor has or
dered me to walk on an empty stomach, I
and now that I have fulfilled his in
junction I can go'and have a good feed,
and you can come with me.”—London

One- Juvenile Transaction That
Seemed to Confirm u Theory.
“This theory,” said the traveling
man, “that warts will go away when
you stop thinking about them may have
something in it, and I am inclined to
have faith in It. I know from actual
observation that warts can be transfer
red and will give you the case in point.
“I was buying a newspaper when I
noticed that the hands of the newsboy
were covered with warts. His stand
was within a block of my house, hut I
am away so much the little fellow did
not know me by name. I said to him:
“ ‘You should get some one to charm
away those warts,’ that being the meth
od of getting rid of them when I was a
boy.
“ ‘They ain’t mine now,’ he said. ‘I
sold them last week to Teddie Stearns,
and they’ll all go to him.’
“Now, Teddie Stearns is my own boy,
and I did not like to think of his
smooth, chubby hands being disfigured
with warts, and we did not live in a
wart atmosphere. They belong more
exclusively to the barefoot boy with
cheek of tan conditions. 1 had been
such myself. When I went home, 1
called my boy to me and looked with
some anxiety at his hands. They were
as clean and white as a girl’s.
“‘What is it, papa?’ he asked curi
ously.
“ ‘I am looking for warts.’
“ ‘Oh,’ and he drew a long, delighted
breath, ‘there ain't any yet, but they’re
sure to come, for I bought them from
“Carrotty Mike” for a pin. He says
I’m sure to get ’em. Ain't you glad?’
“Glad! I could have cried, and I be
lieve his mother did cry. But that
blamed little cub said he wouldn’t be a
tenderfoot, and he would have warts.
I read the riot act to him and went
away for a month’s trip, and when 1
came back he was as proud as Punch.
His hands had grown a crop of warts
that discounted anything I ever saw in
that line. I hunted up ‘Carrotty Mike,’
and, would you believe it, there wasn’t
a wart on his hands! He had trans
ferred them all to my boy.”—Chicago

As the queens usually quit laying
some time in October and do net com

latitude, it is evident that the bees that
live over winter must attain considera
ble age as compared with the life cf a
worker during the working season.
As comparatively little brood is rear
ed in February and March it will be
seen that it is not until April or May
that the young bees are able to take the
place to any considerable extent of the
old bees that have gone through the
winter.
Therefore the bees that go through
the winter, we may say, must, live on

FEEDING LAMBS.
Fattening: For the Fall Markets.
Some of the Rations Used.
In preparing lambs for the early mar
ket the best gain in the writer’s ex
perience at the Wisconsin station has
been made by four lambs that were
fed a mixture by weight of four parts
of bran, four parts of cornmeal and one*
part of linseed meal. When the ex
periment started, the lambs were about
three weeks old, and they were fed for
ten weeks on this grain ration, receiv
ing in addition the milk of their moth
ers. The average weight of each lamb
at the beginning of the experiment was
1S.6 pounds and at the end 62.5 pounds,
an average weekly gain per head of
4.48 pounds. They each ate 26.6
pounds of the grain mixture duriug
the ten weeks, costing 18 cents per
head.
Under some conditions it may not be
profitable to put the lambs on the mar
ket early or to carry them over the
winter, but it may be better to sell
them in November before housing is
required. The best weights that we
have obtained at the Wisconsin station
with lambs fed until November have
been made by the lambs previously
mentioned as receiving bran, cornmeal
and linseed meal before weaning. Aft
er weaning they were fed two parts of
ground corn and one part of linseed
meal by weight. On Nov. 19 each
lamb averaged 102.7 pounds in live
weight, and in the nineteen weeks that
elapsed after weaning they had made
an average weekly gain of 2.G6 pounds
per head. They each ate 1S3 pounds
of the grain mixture, in addition to
pasturage, at a cost of 81-47 per head
for the grain.
In another trial five lambs being fat
tened on pasture after weaning were
made to weigh an average of 97.G
pounds by Nov. 8. In the twelve weeks
before weaning they had gained an av
erage of 3.4 pounds weekly by eating
fifty pounds of equal parts of linseed
meal and bran, costing 47 cents, and
after weaning they received old oats
and pasture. During the fourteen weeks
so fed they made an average weekly
gain of 1.4 pounds, and they ate 52.1
pounds of oats per head, costing 50
cents.
More economical results were obtain
ed by restricting the amount of oats to
five-tenths of a pound per head daily
while the lambs were on good pastur
age.—J. A. Craig.

cover answers several purposes. It
covers the entire top of the tank, a!l
but one inch, the full length of the
fountain. This prevents leaves, straw
and other accumulation from blowing
into the water, yet gives the fowls
plenty of room to drink without up
setting or polluting the water. It also
guards young chicks from drowning,
as they cannot possibly get into the
water.
The fountain is to be placed four and
a half inches in the ground and set per
fectly level. This will leave it out of
the ground one and a half inches,
which will prevent any dirt, etc., as in
case of a heavy rain, washing into it ;
as would be the case if it set level with
the surface. It also keeps the water
perfectly cool and fresh.
As the name indicates, this fountain
Is perfectly automatic, requiring no
filling the entire season. The auto
matic fittings may be procured at any
plumbing establishment, as it is the
same as is used in all flush water closet
tanks.
Fasten the automatic feeder at or
near one end of the fount so as to give
the rod and hollow copper ball plenty
of freedom so that it will not catch the
sides or end. Connect the feed pipe
(one-half inch will answer) with your
supply and tiie fountain is ready for
nee.
As the water enters the fountain the
copper ball float rides ou the surface,
raising the water, and in so doing is
giadually closing the shut off valve,
and when level full it Is entirely closed.
As the fowls drink the water it lowers
the copper float, thereby opening the
valve, and admits just enough water to
hold the fountain level full.
If in any case you wish to clean out
the fountain it may be done inside of
one minute by simply pressing the eop-

The Business Side of Dairying:.

Superintendent Converse is endeavor
ing to bring prominently before the
people in liis practical illustrations at
the Pan-American. If he succeeds in
awakening an interest In this sadly
neglected side of dairying, he will have
accomplished a great deal. It Is not
so much the results of this particular
dairy, important as they are, but the
fact that the different breeds of cows
may be shut up in a building on the
fair grounds and every scrap of feed
bought at the market price and a
steady profit derived from each herd
every week. The most careless farmer
possesses advantages that these expo
sition herds do not have, and in sum
ming up the totals account should be
taken with this side issue.

At about 5 or G weeks they are located
near a blue grass pasture, with a num

they have range until cold weather
drives them into winter quarters.
My first food for little chicks is dry
