BIFFEL TOWER FEED TO REGULATE SYSTEM Value of Bran Is Not Generally Appre ciated by Poultry Raisers To Foretell Sex. The value of bran as a poultry foa is not appreciated as It should be by poultry raisers. It Is rich In protein. It not being rich. In carbohydrates it is of little value as a fattening food, but as a regulator of the system there is nothing better. Tho dry, flaky bran, free from middlings, is to be preferred to bran that Is rich in middlings or low-grade flour. In a mash It should-! be two parts bran to one part of each of the other ingredients, and always by weighty not measurement Bran placed in small troughs, and kept constantly before the brooder chicks, will act wonderfully well in regulating the system of the chicks so that the cases of bowel trouble will be scarce. No one can foretell the sex of chicks while still an egg. It is known that eggs collected up in the early part of the season will predominate in males; also, when a cock had only a very lim ited number of hens to fertilize. The reason is that the cock In spring Is in full vigor, but becomes less vigorous as .the season advances. If the male parent is old, and the females are young, more hens than cocks will be had; the contrary is true if the cock Is young and the hens old. As to the shape of the egg, It varies according to the age of the layers; thus, the eggs of pullets are smaller and more pointed than those of older hens. Long and pointed eggs do hot give any more males than round ones. Some say that the egg produces a cock of its own if its crown or air space is horizontal; a hen, if It is oblique that is, slanting. In our ex perience we have not found such re sults.

'Charlie," she said to a Parisian friend of the family, rheu matic, knobby-banded, with a bold sixt. but still in circula tion; -Charlie, I am quitting this Mod ern Babylon, this Cavern of Folly "Pardon, Mabel, but you got about with celerity," replied the gouty one. "No I'arislenne of my acquaintance can begin to touch your record." "Oh, but Charlie. It was not for pleasure," she reproached him gently. "Often I - was quite tired, .but 1 kept ur Just to see." Such were her last words. His were: 'Mabel, you're a fraud!" But he was mistaken. All the rich Americans who come to Paris get about the resorts with energy, fearful of missing some thing. Parisians do not understand. They Just wanted to see! , The husband of Mabel and two oth ers trusted Charlie to take tho ladles to supper at tho Abbaye after the thea ter. Amid gypsy music, lights, toi lettes, popping champagne, laughter, practical Jokes and calls from table to table, ttey noticed a pair o . Spanish dancing girls weaving a fandango in the aisles. Charlie stepped aside a moment to speak to the maltre d'hotel, and, returning found that Mabel had invited the dancing girls to their table. "It's a ur.rlsv Charlio," she said gulltyily.; but the scolded, "You know you should not do it," he said. "What possessed you 7 "Oh," she answered, "it is Just to make a study!" , After all, she said to him, because a whole series of very smart resorts base their existence on a previous Parisian dc3iro to make a "study," to see some thing "different" and exclusive. All the genesis of the little Jewel box theatres a cote, "on the sldo," so popu- ar aliko with rich Americans and ParVans, Is here. Pay for Insults. It beEan when someone discovered Alecandre Kruant's little cabaret for laborers and niusons, to whom rude but powerful sonu writers warbled their ballads of the "people." Friday evenings tho fashionables began arriv ing in dress clothes and a strlnir of elegant equipages, to pay the beer 13. and be good naturedly insulted by tho chorus of habitues as they departed. Next it was the Cabaret of Janltora tho Quat'z-Arts, the Tavern of Assas sins, Fursy's Shanty to which tho smart world still goes and many an other, all copied on the same model. It was seen that the fashionables were glad to enter a little hall, where everybody could not go because fiore was not room, because It was dear and different. As Boon as the middle clasa and tourish public caught on the fash- Ionab'es quit and tried anothor. Grasping this taste of the rich the manngers of thoso that remained smart kept thoir prices very dear. Thus, you pay $2.60 for the Dooront seat at the Capucines and dearer for a bad: seat at the Michel than for an oichestra chair at the Grand Opera! Inslcnlllctint-looklug resorts .

Tne same may bo said of the costumes. At one moment Kegina might Jump Into the ta and scarcely wet her clothes. There are half a dozen of these theaters of the first class, the Michel, the Arts, the Madame, the Mondaln, the fYirsy. and so on. Tho Grand Gulgnol makes a specialty of short pieces of horror and terror, many of which have been adoptod in America, At 7:30 p. m., in the late Paris spring. It Is still daylight Tho rich Americans, dressed In their evening clothes, begin to get uneasy. Is Thf witching hour approaches. Dan coming? . The Sylvan Restaurants. There are a hundred Dans, all in a hurry, bubbling with life and ardor, knowing everything and everyone. Many aro young Frenchmen of best families. Many, are English and Americans grown up in Paris. I do not say that rich Americans . cannot get on - without Dan In the evening, but they'd rather have him. At the instant Dan arrives, all a-go, and upsets all arrangements. (This surprise and upsetting has Its charm.) It's too fine a night to dine ln-doors. Quick, telephone to the Ambassadeurs for n table! Great crowd there to night, the Duo de Montpensier re turned from his exploring expedition, has a dinner party. Vanderbilt an other, 'Sacha Maghan and the two Grand pukes, it will be delightful! Evidently or .they would be stuck. Dinner In the sylvan restaurants of the Champs Elysees Is the dearest eat ing proposition In Paris. Laurent's Is severely fashionable. Paillard's (Du rand's) is as fashionable and slightly gayer, ; The Ambassadeurs, with Its terraces," perron and balconies under the trees yet partly enclosed from ine wind, Is a charmed spot of gilded youth and old age and fresh, laugh ing beauty, a mixed world of aristo crats, racing men, actresses, profes sional loveliness, notable foreigners and daring married ladles with their husbands. The management is that of Maxim's. At lunch, the cookery is the best in Paris, and not dearer than the other Maxim's; but dinner is out of price. Gayety Is on the bill of fare. But always within correct bounds. Even lone parties of rich Americans arrive at a semblance of rollicking cheer, while looking on. Half a dozen young men of high family, half a dozen pretty women vaguely of the theater play It.dyllke practical Jokes on each other, so keep things moving. They need not pay for their supper. That is why your bill is higher. If you want to see real crazy razzle, Dan will take you to the Abbaye de Tholome reference to old Rabelais' tipsy Utopia, with its motto: "Do as you please." To whet your appetite, he will toll you its story how the dis credited Montmartre night-restaurant, with cobwebs on its wall was taken In hand by tho Cafe de Paris and Armeno- ville, and in one week filled with the cream of rioting Paris, the line of private equipages waiting two blocks outside.

As a rule the beginner starts in the poultry business with great enthusi ism. He carefully looks after the letalls and he gives the best of atten :ian. In time, however, in many sases, the enthusiasm wears off and he becomes neglectful, then he fails. If, on the other hand, he does not become discouraged, but keeps up his faithful work, he succeeds. The plant grows. There" is an improvement In his stock, and his enthusiasm, instead Df flagging, is Increasing. Now It Is well not to be too enthusi astic at the start. It is apt to breed Dver-confldence " The beginner in such eases is apt to build air-castles and A bulletin Issued by the Masaachu , get to that point where he "knows it setts experiment station on the use of all." A little knowledge is some lime in farmingsays it is difficult to times a dangerous thing, answer the question as to what kind It is necessary, of course, to have of lime to buy to suit the needs of some enthusiasm. All enterprises re- WHAT KIND OF LIME TO BUH Difficult to Answer Question to Suit Needs of Each Individual Brief Summary Given. each individual; but in general . the following brief statement may be made: 1. Quick and hydrated limes are best suited to heavy clay soils, when it is desired to Improve their mechan ical condition. Z '' 2. Carbonates In the form of finely , ground limestone or marl work quite satisfactorily on light loams. . 3. Lime containing large percent-; ages of magnesia should not be ap plied to soils deficient in carbonate of lime. 4. Calcium of oxide costs the least in the form of quick or freshly burned lime but is quite disagreeable to spread. 5. Slaked or hydrated lime can be spread with less discomfort than quicklime, but costs on an average 10 cents more per 100 pounds of calcium oxide. 6. . One hundred pounds of calcium oxide in the form of ground limestone cpsts at least 10 cents more than like amount in the form of marl or slaked lime, and some 25 cents more than in the form of quicklime. 7. Lime is an aid to good farming but can not take the place of fertlliz era, stable manure, thorough cultlva. tion and proper crop rotation. quire it. Unless a heartfelt interest Is taken in the work assigned us we are apt to poorly perform our duties. Helter-skelter methods are ' disas trous. Every muscle should bend to lhe proper performance of the work. The man who begins poultry-culture with the Idea of becoming rich, Is very apt to, sooner or later, Bell out at less than cost. We must not aim too high. ; , ; Two important articles are neces Bary to success. Capital and experi- Tragedy In Bird Migration. Very many of the birds that start for tho south never reach it. Not tho least of tho dangers on the way is the en countering of the dazzling electric lights, tall buildings, telephone and tel egraph wires, and other obstructions lu the cities, especially on cloudy nights when tho flight is low. At such times tho morning reveals the tragedies of the night, when little bruised bodies lylnx here and there In the streets tell of tho havoc wrought Terrible sufferers In this respect art tho warblers. Also countless thou Blinds of migrating birds have per Ishod miserably by being blown out tr sea by adverse gale?;1 and blljuardf and unusually severe snowstorms hav claimed unnumbered victims. II. M Lalng In the Outing Magazine. How He Attained Rank. Some men are fond of being kncwi, by a military title. Just whtre the) got the title Is often a mystery. Nev crthekss. the crop of colonels and ma Jors continues to increase. " CoL-Lucius IX Polk baa made a careful study of the subject. "Colontls are divided Into two classes," said Colonel Tolk. "the colonel of the regular army and the other kind of colonels. I have often been asked how I got the title. It ts no mystery. On one occasion 1 was out with a party of friends and It came my turn to buy the liquid re freshments. One of the party who did not know my nume said. "Colonel, ain't you going to ttatr and that Is how I got the rank of colouul." Successful Cultivation. Succesful cultivation demands twi things, good mechanical condition of the soil and proper richness. Never dig fresh manure into the soil Just be fore planting. If you have none which is well rotted and cannot get any. spread the fresh material thinly on top of the ground, between rows and plants and allow the rains to wash it in gradually. If the soil has been cul tivated before and has plenty of de cayed vegetable matter In it, excellent results can be obtained from artificial fertilizers. Done meal is good, but is not a complete fertilizer. Wood ashes should be used with caution, as the large amount of lime they contain may do mischief. The best Is what Is known as a complete fertilizer, and should alWhys he used carefully and exactly according to directions from the man you buy it of. -Sheep manure is an excellent fertilizer. Lice on Poultry. If It were not for lice, poultry rals Ing would be an easy matter. At the same time It is not difficult to rid the henhouses of this pest. Mix any good disinfectant In the whitewash and apply to the Interior of the chicken-house and keep the nest boxes cleaned persistently and filled with new straw, and the lice will have to 50. - . . ' . Value of Mulch for Fruit. With coarse mulch close arount itult plants, and a fine earth mulch between the rows, large crops may be carried Bafely through severe droughts. Commence at once and continue until products are mature. Household Journal. Langshans. A Good Liniment A good liniment for all kinds o. swellings on dairy cows, as well as on all other farm animals.

It Is claimed that the most profttabU life of the peach tree Is from four to eight years. From J peach tree cen sus taken In Orange county. N. Y.. it seems that thorough cultivation Is more essential than either pruning or spraying.- ence. All businesses require both capital and a trained mind. Some years ago the poultry . business was boomed with' the false ' inducement that raising chickens was an occupa tion that called for Very little labor, practically no capital and a very small amount of experience. These false In ducements were handed out in order to create sales for stock and machln ery. But Instead of being that easy occu pation, it was found to be one that required brains, energy, and every requisite needed in any other bust ness. He who is easily discouraged, a victim of the "blues," or he who soon tires of the sameness of work, 3r the close confinement it entails, aad better leave the poultry business entirely alone. While it cannot be said that the care or poultry is nard, muscular work, at the same time getting up In the morning and repeating what every morning before was done during the week, working at night when a lan tern is necessary, duties to perform on every day, Sundays and holidays Included, soon tries the grit, the push and the patience of a man. But if the man masters all these obstacles, and sticks to his business, he will, as a rule, succeed. There are times in all enterprises when it looks as though the business would fail, but by pegging away it is soon 'discovered that only a dark cloud had appeared. But it is at these times that the faint-hearted begin to reason that the days for success. in "this line" are gone by. When a man gets to that state of mind that he cannot see a sliver lin ing in the cloud, he is ready to accept the first offer to sell out In the majority of cases he makes his losses all the greater by selling out below cost . " WHITEWASH THAT STICKS TO WALL Excellent and Quit Inexpensive Plan of Improving General Appearance of th Home. The writer has seen days when there was hardly a cent of Income, when he had to go into debt to buy feed and pay other expenses, and days, too, when he couldn't even see a pros pect of some business for a long time to come. ' ; But he stuck to the work, and when the first money came in, it was soon followed by other money, and-in, time the debts were paid, and ever since there has been more or less regularity of. Income. ; During those trying times, when if seemed almost impossible to keep the wolf f roan the door, the writer would meet men in other walks of life witB the big rolls of bills in their pockets, with . flourishing - occupations, buf nevertheless, he held on, never losing an opportunity of making a turn foi the good. He was rewarded: Some of thos men with the big rolls of banknotel were not satisfied; they wanted te make more money, wanted to grow wealthy, read of the great sums realized by men who invested in stocks, who became rich by the own ership of mining shares they gav up their present occupations, sacrl flced the "goose that laid the golden egg" and became slaves to the stock gambling lure, which finally left then: high and dry. So the beginner must not forge that he who sticks to his work is th one who will finally come out" on th right side. Trials are often angels ir disguise. 1 . . The- beginner must know that hli fowls deserve and must hjave the besl of care. He must keep a close watch as to conditions, must provide com fort, cleanliness and plenty of room. Likewise he must study the appetitei of his flock. Both system and regularity are im portant factors, never forgetting that shiftlessness is costly and filth is 9 dangerous stumbling-block. The qual ity and quantity of brain work pui into the concern determines th amount, of success. ; "Trained thinking and wise work ing" is a secret that will, in the end, bring about , success. "Bad luck" If merely another term for bad manage ment. No duty Is rightly performed that is done In a mechanical manner The .beginner must stop and think He must notice the little matters. H must never assume more work thap he can accurately perform. He 'must never overestimate his capacity, and he must never rush to get done. Haste makes waste. Map out a plan, and then work by It Scrub treatment will bring scrub results. The lack of good business sense ha been the cause of more failures than has anything else. A man never shirks his duty when he is in dead earnest in his work. lkV.'f PANAMAS I FROM WEAVER TO WEARER (Tan b worn nnblooketl t7 women.

There are many, brick and stone walls, as well as wooden outbuildings, fences and the like, about a suburban place which, lacking paint, detract much from the general appearance of the home.

Mix these well together and let the mix ture stand for seven days in a rea sonably cool and shaded place. Keep the wash thus prepared In a kettle, and when it is being nsed put it on as hot as possible, using a painter's or an ordinary whitewash brush. Al ways use magnesian lime for whitewash. Location for Best Apple. The thinning of apples on horizontal llmba shows the best shaped, aa well as the largest sized fruit to be on the under aide of the limb. This is doubtless due to the fact that aa a result of the law of gravity a major portion of the sap Bows along tha underside. For the same reason a wound will heal over more quickly on the under than on the upper side of a limb. Picking the Good Ones.
