I SATURDAY, DECEMBER xa, xgol. THE DESSRST FARMER U I end a generous slice daily to each Jrccdcr. Meat meal, where obtain able will be found cheap, and if boiled in a kettle and mixed with a mash of equal parts of bran and shorts or corn meal, will be greedily eaten by the fowls, but if fed dry by hopper meth od, there arc very few birds that will relish it. Where obtainable, the re fuse of the slaughter-house will be found the best audi cheapest meat I food; beef, mutton and pork entrails, hearts, lights and livers, kidneys and hogs' cars when run through a coarse fdod chopper or bone-mill, will be greedily devoured by all ages of poul try, from the wee chick to the oldest cock-bird. Green fond in some form is a most important item of the diet where egg : production is sought, and as a rule is , w cheap and plentiful in sections 1 where alfalfa is grown that it should form the chief basis of winter feed for poultry. Alfalfa is so rich in pro tein, that most potent of all egg pro ducing elements, that it should be fed daily. Green leaves gathered from about the stacks and fed in troughs will be greatly relished, but where scalded for ten minutes and mixed with a mash with a sprinkling of salt, it will be found all that is desired in the way of green food. Second in importance to the alfalfa will be found cut clover leaves and the best is red clover. There is no better green feed grown than growing red clover for fowls of all ages and none to which they will take, -so kindly and so quickly. Wc have now provided the fowls with all the elements necessary for winter feeding, namely, grain, mcac and green food barley, slaughter house refuse and alfalfa these com prise practically all that is required, and with the food acccssori s, shell aiid grit, with clean water mnd com fortable quarters, tire birds should come through the winter and enter into the spring work in the very pink of condition, leaving .behind a winter egg record that should make the own- er happy with eggs ranging from 40 to 60 cents per dozen in the open market-. o FOR SALE.S.

A CHANCE SHOT. To the turkey that was tame epi cures the country over prefer the tur key that was wild. However, clergy men arc notoriously not epicurean in their tastes, and a certain Methodist preacher in Baltimore had) once defi nitely expressed a preference for the domestic bird. Accordingly, when one day last winter, he accepted an invitation to dine with a member of his congregation, that member, in or dering 'the dinner of the colored ser vant, laid stress upon this point. "Now remember, Ezckiel," he com manded, "Doctor Fourthly likes do mestic turkey. You will therefore discontinue your usual practice, and get not a wild but a tame one." "Yassir," nodded the darkey. "Understand?" repeated the host-to-bc. "A domestic turkey." Again the negro assented, and, though the family funds were at a low ebb, the dinner of his providing proved most elaborate. How so lit tle money went so far was a mystery until the host began to carve the turkey. Then a thimbleful of shot rolled out upon the platter. "Ezckiel," said the host severely, "I thought I told you to get a do mestic turkey." "Yassir," said Ezckiel. "That there' a domestic turkey. Ah knows it." "But," objected the host, "look ar the shot in it." Ezckiel grinned sheepishly. "Yassir," he stammed. "Ah Ah sees 'em, sir; but them thar shot wasn't meant for the turkey, sir; they was meant fer me." WHITE MAN'S BURDEN. "There was a white man out in Montana," said Senator Carter, "who was called Steve Crow. He lived with the Indians for forty years, mar ried a squaw and raised) a family. Finally, his wife died, his children threw him out, and he drifted up to Seattle, where he married again. "After a tirrae he returned to Mon tana and said his second wife had secured a divorce from him. "'What happened, Steve?' askcd a friend. "'Why,' Steve replied, 'that there woman didn't know when she had a good thing. I married her and built a cabin out on the flats. It wasn't my land, but I lived there for a while. She didn't appreciate her advantages. Why, every morning I went out on the flats and gathered a bushel of clams, and all she had to do was to shuck 'cm and cook 'cm.'" PILGRIMS ALL. Just a little laughter, Just a little woe, Just a flash of summertime Till the roses go, Just a little handclasp; That's the toll you pay If you go a-travcling The Heart's Highway. Through the sunny weather, Under cloudless skies, Oh, how fair the road is I . Oh, how bright Her eyes I Sure there's not a danger Could your soul dismay When you start a-travcling The Heart's Highway. Nay, but not forever Is the sun at noon; Creeping shadows gather Far too swift and soon; Hold her hand the tighter When the skies grow gray; Only that brings morning on The Heart's Highway I A DINNER - TABLE PERSIFLAGE. Once Richard Mansfield, Coquclin, the French actor, and Sara Bernhardt played in Chicago at the same time. Coquclin, thinking to stretch out a dramatic hand across the sea, gave a dinner to which he invited many friends and reserved the seats of hon or for Bernhardt and Mansfield. Mansfield was late. When he did arrive he sat gloomily in his chair next to Bernhardt. She sought to make some conversation. Mansfield turned and regarded the great French actress with much in terest. Everybody listened to hear what Ik juld say. "Ah, he commented pleasantly, af ter his scrutiny, "I observe you wear your makeup off the stage well as on." o The average speaker, according to statistics gathered by our stenograph ers, speaks 1-20 words in a minute.
