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 Answers. 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 Record-Herald. CULLINGS FROM FICTION.

When there is a breeze and spray is dashed upon bathers, the water is so densely impregnated with salt that the liquid portion evaporates very quickly and leaves a deposit of salt on the skin. “On several occasions people have drifted cut while bathing or been wrecked and thrown overboard and aft erward found dead on top of the water, choked to death by the accumulation of salt in their mouths and nostrils.” Child Baptism *n Early- Days.

As the queens usually quit laying some time in October and do net com mence again until February in this 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 on average to the age of six months. From this It must he evident to all that if we start into winter with young, healthy bees our chances of wintering them successfully are far greater than if we should commence- the winter with old bees whose lives have already been partly exhausted. formed into a half circle. 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. * , Writs the * .

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- For their tree Catalogue.

The business side of dairying is what 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. News and Notes.

Twenty.chicks to a hen I think about right. The coops are placed uear the house for convenience while the chicks are young, moving them farther away as they grow older. At about 5 or G weeks they are located near a blue grass pasture, with a num ber of apple trees for shade. Here they have range until cold weather drives them into winter quarters. My first food for little chicks is dry wheat bread moistened with sweet milk. This is good enough for the first day. The second day oatmeal and mil let seed are given, with mica grit. They get water from the start. Up to 4 weeks old their food is bread moistened In milk, millet seed, oatmeal, corn bread baked as for the table and crack ed wheat. After they are 4 weeks old 1 discontinue the oatmeal and bread and milk and feed millet seed, whole wheat and cracked corn, with corn bread for breakfast, baked the day be fore. After the chicks are 2 months old I feed a bran mash consisting of one-third eaeh'of ground oats, corn and wheat bran, moistened with milk, clab ber or sour milk preferred. This I feed in the evening, all they will eat I follow this method of feeding the old fowls, believing the evening the proper time for soft food. For late hatched broods (say the last cf June or first of July hatches) I know of no place better for cooping than near a cornfield, with a clover meadow near by. The corn furnishes plenty cf shade through the warm days, and the clover field supplies grasshoppers. 1 have had good results from late broods raised in this manner.—O. L.
