It is surprising how many people,
otherwise model citizens, are guilty
of cruelty to both fowls and animals,
it may not be altogether intentional
on their part, but nevertheless they do
things that call fQr censure.
One of the most common acts Is to
carry chickens by their legs, heads
down. This cruelty has been practiced
for years and no one thought much
about it.
They did not notice the rush of
blood to the head of the fowl when
carried that way. A neighbor of ours
the other day was carrying a fat hen
by the legs and in a few moments the
bird wan gasping and came pretty
close to choking to death.
An equally cruel method is lo carry
tho fowl by the wiugs—especially so
when the fowls are heavily bodied.
The proper way is to allow the fowl
to rest on the arm, the legs held firm
ly by the hand; or it can be held be-
tween the arm and the body.
A dealer w-as one day noticed to
yank killing stock out of a crate by
catching by a leg or a wing and other
wise roughly handling them When
remonstrated with he replied thai it
did not matter, as the birds would
soon be killed.
With some people it is common oc-
currence to throw chickens over the
fence Into a yard. There is really
no telling in what manner they will
reach the ground and w hen this cruelty
is performed when the attendant is in
a tit of anger there is considerable
force put into the throw.
A very pious old gentleman was
vexed to the "cussing" point because
Uls chickens happened to pet out of
the yard through a broken fence in-
to his garden.
in his anger lie threw a stone and
lamed one of the fowls. "There, it
serves you right; I don t pity you a
bit," was the only comme nt on (he ac
cident.
How much better it would have
been to have carefully driven these
fowls back into the yard and at once
repaired the fence.
Verily the contxairiness of the hen
i not in it with the contrairiness and
stupidity of some! of the attendants.
A common cruelty is to overcrowd
the Hock, especially in close badly
ventilated houses. Allowing the sup-
ply of drinking water to run out and
placing Ihe drinking vessels in the
sun are also cruelties practiced by
shiftless, lazy people.
Many acts of cruelty can be named
in the methods employed in breaking
up broodiness in hens. For instance,
dousing them in water, tying them by
one leg to a stake or throwing them
into a yard of young cockrcls to be
knocked about right and left are all
practices that should be stopped.
Bloodiness is a provision of nature
for rest and certainly the industrious
hen deserves It. Hut, if It i3 wanted
to have her change her ideas or con-
dition, the only humane way is to
place such in a separate house where
there are no nests or male birds and
allow them to have the fever gradually
pass off
For some years back it was the
! custom to sell the little (newly
I hatched) chicks at the poultry shows
j and also at large biru stores around
Kaster time.
| These innocents were bought by
| fond parents for their little tots and
' carried to their home in pasteboard
i boxes. Without the proper brooder
heat, or the right kind of food these
little things would be fairly tortured
j to death; quite often from rough hand-
I ling of the cute baby."
Anything that will inflict needless
pain or make the fowls uncomfortable,
should be punishable. It is surprising
how many people who otherwise are
kind-hearted and good intentioned will
I not stop to think that their very acts
I are uncharitable and unchristianlike.
William H. Taft, when he \\"^ j
president, never overlooked an eppor- j
tunity for a joke. In the closing '
months of his administration lit ury I
I,. Stimson. then secretary of war. ,
wrote Mr. Taft a very urgent request j
that he give a friend of Stimson a J
certain federal position
Mr. Taft wrote to Stimson as fol
lows:
"My Dear Stimson; I am very !
sorry 1 cannot do anything for your
friend in response to your letter of
today. I would like to accommodate
you, but it is Impossible Sincerely
vours,
WILLIAM 11. TAFT
I'ndrr that he wrote:
"Turn over. '
Then Mr Stimson read on the oth
or side of the paper:
"I couldn't do it today because 1
gave the fellow the job yesterdaj -
l'Wpular Magazine.
Overdid It.
"What's the mntter?" asked the
j lawyer's friend "Been in a railroad
accident?"
"No. 1 had a jury case the other
day, and 1 argued so elaborately for
the purpose of making it appear that
my client was a fool Instead of a
knave that 1 got him acquitted on
; that plea."
•What has that to do with your ap-
; pearance?"

JUDGMENT NEEDED
WITH LATE CHICKS
Late Hatched Fowls Must
Hurried in Their Growth
Fast as Possible.
Bfe
(By MRS. A J. WIl.niiR.l
June is a busy month for the farm
poultry raiser and the days are hard-
ly long enough to do what must be
done with the poultry and in the
garden.
The long, hard winter and late, we«
spring have thrown us ail behind in
the work of both. This will cause us
10 hatch more late chickens than we
otherwise would and means extra
care and trouble to bring them to ;
maturity before cold weather catches
them. This can be done, but requires j
care and good Judgment, l-ate hatch- j
ed chickens must be hurried in their .
growth as fast as possible and still |
must not be overfed so that their di-
gestion is Injured. Indeed, this is the
problem in all chick feeding.
For all chicks, late or early, the ,
same rule holds for the first feeding.
Do not feed for twenty-four hours i
after hatching. Some say thirty six j
or forty-eight hours, but 1 think that j
leaving the chicks so long without !
nourishment weakens them and is as I
bad as feeding too soon. Twenty four I
hours is my rule and then I feed only
a little, as much as the; will eat up |
quickly.
Kor the first feed 1 give bread
crumbs and hard-boiled eggs, mixed
together and moistened with sweet
milk or water. To'this I add a little
clean sand. He sure the feed is not
sloppy, but Just crumbl*.
Little chicks should be given all
they will eat up clean every two
hours, giving tho «rst feed as soon
after daylight as possible and the
last just before they go to sleep for
night.
After two days I feed oatmeal and
cracked wheat and a little fine corn
for the greater part of the ration,
still however, giving them the bread
crumbs for one or two meals a day.
The bread crumbs I soak vn milk
and then squeeze them dry.
Fresh water and chick-sized grit
should be kept before them from tho
start. Finely cut dry bone should
also be kept in boxes where they can
help themselves
After a few days I allow the chicks
to run with Ihi^r mothers and feed
them only at morning and night At
this time, though, I put out the feed
coop for them. This coop is slatted
around so that, the little chicks can
go in but the large chickens can not.
In this I keep some of the oatmeal,
cracked wheat, and corn chop, also a
dish of water and one of cut bone,
chick grit, and fine charcoal, so that
| if (he old hen brings them up at noon
1 as she usually does they can eat and
drink and help themselves to what-
ever they may need from the other
box.
| Coops where Ihe chicks hover must
' he kept perfectly clean. As I have no
| floors in my coops, I move them ev-
j ery day onto fresh ground, being care-
j fill not to set them in a low place
where a rain in the night would
j drown my chicks.
I There must be plenty of ventilation
1 in the coops as fresh air is necessary
i to the health of the youngsters. Sev-
eral times while they still hover in
Ihe coops I dust them with insect
' powder, rub a drop of oil into the
down on their heads, and rub thefr
legs with vaseline. My hen houses
and coops are in the orchard and
when the chicks prefer roosting in an
apple tree to going into their coop,
they are allowed to go into the trees
and roost there until cold weather in
Ihe fall. My efforts are all to keep
the chicks clean, busy, and growing,
and they get their growth quickly.

FORGOT DESIRE TO QUESTION
Chairman's Reception of Would-Be
Interrogator Some,.ow Discovered
the Rest of Them.
At a political meeting in a certain
New South Wales gold-mining dis
trict the chair was taken by an ath-
letic miner. The candidate during
his speech was much interrupted by
hootings and rough chaff, and Ills
chairman was soon in a state of boil-
ing indignation. Smothering his
wrath, however, he pacified the
"boys" by assuring them that at tl>e
end of the candidate's speech tlvy
should be at liberty to put any ques-
tion they chose. Accordingly, at the
end of 1 lie harangue he arose and in-
quired in stentorian tones and in a
rich Irish brogue: "His inny gintle-
r.iati a question to airsk?'' A stout
little Welsh miner, who had been a
conspicuous disturber of the peace
of the evening, shuffled slowly up th®
steps of the platform. But at the
top he was met by ihe chairman,
who. without the slightest warning,
delivered a terrific left-and-righter.
and sent the Welshman sprawling on
his back. "Now," roared the chair-
man, "has inn.v other gintleman a
question to airsk?' -and there was
no response.
Which Is Different.

his wife's presence."

BAD CASE OF DANDRUFF
Negligence Called Manslaughter.
The case of f'tehr vs. State before
tho supreme court of Nebraska in-
volved the sentence of a father for
from one to ten years in the peniten-
tiary for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard In Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the lire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and a
broken w indow pane and the bedding
of all Ihe members of the family w-as
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for sixteen
days, when amputation was found to
be necessary and the child died of
j blood poisoning The defendant was
convicted of manslaughter for crim-
inal negligence in failing to provide
medical care after he discovered the
frozen condition ol the child s feet.
In affirming the conviction the court
held that for a parent having special
charge of an infant child culpably to
neglect It so lhat death ensues as a
! consequence is manslaughter, al-
I though death or grievous bodily harm
was'not Intended, and if 'lie parent
j has not the means for the child's nur-
! t.ure it is his duty to apply to Ihe pub-
| lie authorities for relief
