Poultry feeding has been much
improved and simplified by the
introduction of the hopper meth

preparing and mixing a wet

hopper is filled with a variety of
ground grains, and placed where
it is accessible to the fowls at all

the hens need never go to roost
without sufficient food.

It was like Lincoln to keep a
promise when he made one.
While wine drinking was the
fashion all about him, Mr. Linc
oln never forgot his dead moth
er’s request that he should close
his lips to all strong drink. Once,
when he was a member of Con,
gress, a friend^ criticised him for
his seeming rudeness in declining
to test the rare wines provided
by their host, urging as a reason
for the reproof, ‘ ‘There is certain-,
ly no danger of a man of your
years and habits becoming ad
dicted to its use.”
“ I mean no disrespect, John,”
answered Mr. Lincoln, “ but I
promised my mother only a tew
days before she died that I* would
never use anything intoxicating
as a beverage, and I consider
that promise as binding today
as it was the day I gave it.”
