Don't Begin With Too Many Breeds- Keep Thoroughbreds Only About the Tnrkey. Start out with good stock. Endeavor to have your flocks uniform. Keep everything clean; it will pay you. An extra dollar or two for a superior ureeuing oira is money well spent. A good bupdIv of road dust or drv earm anu nne gravel are worm a good many dollars to a poultry breeder dur ing tne winter. One of the best remedies for damn poultry-house floors, also an excellent deodorizer, is air-slacked lime. Gas lime ia also good. Do not neglect the water fonntaini. Keep them filled with fresh, sweet, clean water. In rainy weather keen the vanln drained so tliat no impure water will be where the fowla may drink it. Do not destroy eggs that have been deserted by the hen, or in cases where the incubator lamp has gone out and they have become cold. They often hatch a good percentage of strong chicka. Don't begin with too many breeds. Select the one that best suits vour sur roundings and atick to it. By careful selection you can then build up a strain mat win oe satisfactory to yourself and patrons. Although a damn roosting place la an abomination, fowla prefer a wet roost free from vermin to a dry one that is in fested with them. Thia may explain why some people's chickens prefer to roost on trees. It may be taken as a very irood rule that short-legged will fatten mora ran. idly than fowls " well up on their pins." This ia important to the broiler raiser, whose object it is to get nice, plump birds aa soon aa possible. Keep thoroughbred fowls only. There are enough breeds and enough sir.es, shapes and colors for any purpose. With a mixed flock one cannot lay down any set oi leeuing mien or giean any rename information from his statistics. In other words, he never knows where he 1b at. Always keep shells and grit before your fowls, and for confined birds straw or refuse hay, cut about one-third of an inch in length, should be furnished them. Besides the much-needed exer cise obtained by scratching in it for seeds and grain, they will eat a large portion of it. The turkey la an industrious forager, and picks np the greater portion of ita food: therefore the difference in the weight of a large and Binall bird is an important matter, bringing the actual cost oi production down to a low sum when large and small weights are com- ' There is one 'advantage of hatching chicks during winter in California, and it is freedom from vermin, which doea not increase nearly so rapidly aa during late spring and summer weather. This is where the incubator proves of great value to the poultry raiser, aa it ia next to impossible to get a satisfactory buddIv of setting hena before February and oiien later. look after the manure. It is not necessary for experimental stations to tell ua that manures kept continually exposed to rain and sun must lose their essential elements, and tiiat, too, very rapidly. We see very often streams of dark, black liquid issuing irom fertilizer neaps, and perhapa run ning down some slope in to pond or brook. where the crops are not liable to receive much benellt from them. Why are these leaks permitted and how remedied are the questions. The first ia hard to answer, out the second ia of no very dif ficult solution. Mix manure liberally with absorbents, and keep under cover. Many old-fashioned barns contain no cellars for storage of manure ; and, for thai matter, there aro very potent objec tions to putting manure right under stock, so that poisonous gases will con tinually arise to befoul the air above. Why not build a cheap "lean-to" against the barn to cover the manure which Ib cast out f lhis may be made very rough and inexpensive and provided only with a roof (sides would be better). The idea, of course, ia to prevent the wa ter irom eavea and any from leaking through the manure and removing the best and most available portions. Bed the stock well with atraw and absorb ents sufficient to retain all the liquid, says a writer in Practical Farmer. Land plaster is excellent to fix the ammonia tiiat gas which is so easily lost ; and coal ashes, aa they come perfectly dry from the stove or furnace, are good for the same purpose, jit ia well known that the ground beneath a manure pile be comes saturated with fertility ; so it ia wise to remove tnis sou to a depth of six to ten inches, cart it away and replace with a quantity of new. dry soil, which in turn should also be drawn out and spread on a field or meadow. The mat ter of saving manure cannot be looked into too closely. It ia follv to depend on commercial fertilizers when much of our own manure goes to waste. watering the skidded. American Gardening says : It is com' mon among amateurs and some profes sionals who sow seeds of various kinds, either in or out of doors, whether the sou ia moist or not, to water It Imme diately after sowing. From repeated trials I have found the above practice to be a serioua mistake. If tiie Boil or com post in which the aeeda are sown ia moist at the time of sowing, do not water, as the soil becomes stiff and forma a crust on the surface, which prevents the seeds trom pushing through. After sowing in any soil, except an extremely dry one, wait a day or two before watering, until the sou dries np pretty well. Then water gently with a fine sprinkler sufficiently to moisten the soil moderately throughout, which will euf flee until the soil shows signs of dryness again. l)o not do aa a great many do give a little sprinkling everyday. This only makes tne case worse. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair. IniR fn) Fa y-TlrllllLsE The only Pore Cream of Tartar Powder.

NamM si lb MlMlulppI tlr(r, An anonymous writer has asserted that from the month of the Ohio to the source of the Mississippi It was known as Pe-he-ton-at, an Algonquin significa tion of abode or habitation of furies. The same writer asserts that L. M. Gould ia authority for the statement that an analysis of the word shows that it doea not mean "father of water.'' "Mis-eiskH means "grass;' "Mis-sisk-ke-on," "weeds;" "Mis-sisk-ke," "medical herbs, " and "Mis-ku-tuk" "the broad bottom lands" of the river. Thus the tribes inhabiting the bottom lands were called Mis-shu-tan or meadow people. from which the assertion come that the literal meaning of the word is "the river of meadows of grass. " But it is believed that tbe latter designation ia a fanciful idea, in the light of other and very posi tive information which baa come down to ua, A Jesuit father (Allonez). who Brat made personal acquaintance with the "Nasouesaiouck," speaks of them aa hy ing toward the weat, near the great river called Measipi, a memorable remark, it being tbe first time (A. D. 1667) that the word was noted by any French writer. It would appear that, if Uroseillier and Raddison, to whom must be awarded the honor of discovering the upper waters of the river west of the great lakes, noted the name in any diary kept by them, it was probably lost when Groseil tiers, like Joliet at a later date, was up set in the St Lawrence on his return from the second voyage. Uoldthwaite'a Geographical Magazine, O. Wathlagtoa, MarachaJ de CruM. An interesting bit of history waa told me lately by a descendant of 4. W. Parke (Justis. It seems that when, in 1781, the United States sent to France a apecial embassa dor some difficulty arose between him and the French government aa to the command of the combined armies. Colo nel Laurens, the embassador, stated very firmly that George Washington, our chief, must command, "for it is our cause, and the battle on our soil." The etiquette of the foreign government, however, exclaimed: "Cost impossiblel" for here waa Count Rochambeau, an old lieutenant general, who could only be commanded by the king in person or a marecbat de France. The American wit of Colonel Laurens flashed upon the situation a happy thonght Be said: "Make our Wash ington a marechal de France and the difficulty is at an end." It was done.

Aa the hawk did not rise after a short time she decided to investi gate. On approaching the place the hawk arose and perched upon a tree near by. In a few minutes it descended agaia Mrs. Lasitter proceeded to the place and found that the hawk had tackled a large blacksnake.
