We can hardly expect to see a fancy poultry establishment on a farm plastered with mortgages, or even on a farm where the owner ia making the struggle of hla life trying to keep up with bin expenses. But there are many farmers who have progressed far enough on the road to success to be able to take into consideration the question of adornment of the farm home. To such a one we would say, do not forget the poultry establishment, which may be made a thing of beauty. Many a kousewif opposes the keep- ever-recurri- tag at poultry because she has In mini ths 14 poultry house, cold, damp and dirty. She remembers the fence of pickets or lath with unseemly rents hers and there. She remembers how often the fowls have destroyed her hopes of a flower garden and sometimes made even the kitchen garden an uncertain factor. Therefore, when chickens are mentioned she scowls and says that she would rather be without fowls than have them. But no farm home should be without such an adjunct. An expenditure of a few hundred dollars will give houses and yards built after the : lost modern methods, and that will ps a big profit on tba money Invested. Then the wife and children will take a lively Interest in the business of poultry raising and egg prnduetion. The advent of a new bouse for the fowls will usually mean the advent of new methods in the keeping of the fowls and ultimately the introduction of pure breeds. Poultry keeping will become a science worthy of study. A farm is always benefited by such an establishment. If It is to be sold it will add to the value more than the cost of the improvement Poultry Show at Chicago, The great poultry show held at Chicago Jan. 25 to 28 was a success, at least in its exhibits, and we hope financially. We think it was the finest ever held in this part of the country. The exhibits were on three floors, the barn-yar- d fowls having the first and third floors and the pigeons the second floor. It is seldom that one can see such a collection of pigeons, and It ia safe to say that this feature was appreciated by the city people more than any other. It Is a pity that country peopls could not have visited tha show in larger numbers. Ths exhibits of all varieties of farm poultry was very good, and many of tha birds were exceptionally fine. There was also a good exhibit of incubators, and these seemed to attract a good share of attention, both from city and country people. Among the exhibitors of Incubators were the Reliable Incubator and Brooder Company of Quincy, Illinois, and the Successful Incubator, manufactured by the Des Moines Incubator Company of Dea Moines, Iowa. 'BROTHER AND SISTER. THEY WERE MARRIED SEEMED HAPPY. AND The Muni Remarkable I'ua of the Century ('nine to I.lglit Through Divorce 1riH'ctMliug Recently Filed at Fitchburg, Mur. RS. ELSIE JEENS or Mass., appeared be- Fitchburg, fore Judge Ward-e- ll at Worcester, the other day and asked her marriage to Harry Moreland Jeena be annulled on t h e ground that they were they children The atory of Mra. Jeena forms one of the strangest chapters that was ever written in the Massachusetts divorce courts. It is a story of wrecked lives and of utter InhumanMrs. ity on the part of a mother. Mary Jeens and her three children lived in Cheltenham, England, before Elsie was born. They were all too young to understand much about life. Mrs. Jeens had been a widow for several years. One day after a prolonged visit to another town she brought little Elsie home. She Is your little cousin. Elsie Graham, said she to her children. And so the child grew up calling Mrs. Jeens "Aunty," and looking upon the Jeens children as her cousins. AmSng the Jeens children was a boy, Harry Moreland Jeena, who was nine years older than hla little cousin. He waa Elsie's favorite. She used to play with him in preference to the other children, and in all things he was her childish hero. Elsie grew up to be a remarkably pretty child. She was sent to a private school and finely educated. At the age of seventeen she was graduated, and returned to her home in Cheltenham with a fine education. She was also a good singer and a spelndld musician. She thanked Aunty over and over again for giving her the same advantages that her own children en joyed. Shortly afterward her cavalier cousin," Harry Moreland Jeens, now grown into young manhood, came to The America to seek his fortune. young girl missed him sadly, but was consoled In some degree by the letters which he wrote. When the Jeens chll dren arrived at years of maturity the family gradually scattered broadcast over the world. Airs. Jeens and Elsie wee practically left alone in the old home. One day Mrs. Jeens said: "El le, I have made up my mind to go to America to visit Harry. Would you like to go?" "Indeed I would. Aunty. Oh, how that Big Flguraa. People are pretending to figure out how much thq poultry business of the United States la worth. It la estimated that the commerce of the country handles $300,000,000 worth of poultry and poultry products annually. This la probably true, but it ia all guesswork. Who has ever taken account of the Immense quantities of such products bought and sold by tha hundreds of thousands of little stores scattered all over the land? The big figures do not take account of the poultry consumed on the farms or by the families in the small towns and cities that raise poulgood you are." Then preparations were made for the try and produce eggs for their owa use. ;itw) h month later Airs. Jeens and There haa been always one characteristic about fresh eggs the prices are what the commercial world denominate as firm. That is, there is always a demand for them, and prices remain good compared with other farm products. Especially is this true in the vicinity of towns and cities. The farmer has much to hope from poultry. He needs only to make more of a study of it. Poultry meat should be frequently found on the table of the farmer, for it ia one of the moat wholesome of foods. 'n. Cotton Hand na Stock Food. Repeated inquiries come to the Oklahoma Experiment Station as to the val-lof cotton seed as food for animals. There is a widespread fear that it is an unsafe food. There is some foundation for this feeling, but, used judiciously, cottou seed may be wisely fed to either cattle, horses or sheep sometimes to hogs. Young stock are more liable to Injury than older ones. Rarely is it wise to make this the only grata food. Long continued high feeding with cotton seed sometimes gives bad results. But where it is not practicable to have the seed Bent to an oil mill, it certainly should not be allowed to go to waste. Its high percentage of oil and good amount of material makes it a good food to use in connection with straw, corn stover, etc. It ia not advisable to let young calves, lambs or pigs have free access to the seed, but older anlmala, except hoga, may have a supply before them, if other grain or sufficient roughness" la also given. A flesh-formi- ng Poor Winter Butter. One reaaon why much poor butter la made In the winter season la because the milk is set in some room adjoining the kitchen, where it is subjected to all the odors of the kitchen stove used in cooking meats and vegetables. These odors, with the heat from the stove, are absorbed by the milk, and aa the cream haa to be warmed so aa to ripen, the germs thus admitted have the beat possible cbance to increase. The Dairy Farmer. The business of the dairyman does not begin and end with the care of the cows, but reaches into every detail of farm management. A dairy farm should become one which is unusually productive. Mirror and Farmer. Peanut vendors might be accused of working a shell game. Vi1 t ELSIE GRAHAM JEEN3. her niece arrived in Fitchburg, where her son waa In business. Here it was that Mrs. Jeens looked on and saw her on Harry growing to love Elsie. She saw all, and made no sign and uttered One word would bave no protest. course of two lives from the changed misery to possible happiness. After a brief visit to Harry, which was thoroughly enjoyed by both, Elsie and Mrs. Jeens returned to England. They went with the understanding that in a few months the girl was to return to Fitchburg and become the wife of her "cousin. And Mrs. Jeens sat by and saw the preparations made, still without a sign. Can anybody solve this inconceivable riddle of motherhood? There were a few months of Joyful preparation in the English home, n:id at last, In December, 1893, Elsie sn!d farewell to Aunty and sailed away to wed Harry Moreland Jeens. Fho arrived In Boston, December 19, 1893, and on the following day the couple were married at Fitchburg by the Rev. George S. Butlers. There arc discrepancies in the marriage register which the young woman even now cannot understand. Her age was given by her husband as Her twenty, when it was eighteen. husband's age, accord ire to ihe regis The record ter, was twenty-sevenames the parents of Harry as Thomas E. Jeens and Mary A. Jeena, maldea name Ayers. Those of Elsie were: Thomas Graham and Mary N. Graham, maiden name, Williams. Elsie says she had never been told anything about her mothers maiden name, and so she told the minister. After the ceremony, however, her husband told her that he had put it down aa Williams" so (hat some name might appear. There were other errors also. Elsie's occupation was given as a "dressmaker, when, in fact, the girl was Just out of school, and up to the time of her marriage had never done a days work in her life. After the marriage the young Jeena couple settled down to a happy and contented life. Letters came from Aunty" with regularity, and there waa nothing to mar their happiness. They kept house and Harry Jeens worked Industriously at his trade. Right In the midst of this happiness talked as great a misery as ever fell to the lot of woman. It came in September, 189G. The Jeens couple had been keeping house in a flat at Fitchburg for several months. They bad found a place they liked better, however, and were preparing to move. Everything was parked up, and everything was in a rather desolate state. It was a desolation that will last a lifetime, for the furniture that was packed then has never again been put in use. One afternoon, a day or two before the Jeena were to have moved, Harry Jeens received a latter from his aunt who lives at Wilmington, Mass. She had never been apprised of hla marriage. Among other things the letter said that he waa 111 and wanted to see him right away. Young Jeena felt that he ought to go, but did not care to leave hla wife in the house with everything In such a mlxed-u- p He condition. finally decided to take hla wife with him. Together they went to Wilmington to see the aunt whose name is Mra. Frances B. Hiller. They arrived at the Hiller home In the evening and found her quite ill. The husband went into the bedroom first, leaving his wife in the parlor. Pretty soon Harry called hla wife. Elsie came into the room. After an affectionate greeting from the sick woman Harry aald: Elsie and I are married, you know, aunt. For the apace of half a dozen heartbeats tbe sick woman said not a word. She waa speechless. Then raising herself up in the bed she said in an awful voice: "Elsie! Elsie, girl! How did you come to marry Harry Jeena. Dont you know? Cant you understand ? Why, aunt," said Elsie, "I dont ace what difference it makes. I have a right to "But you marry whomever I like. two had no right to marry." "I do not see why, returned the young wife, ":I have a right to be married to my cousin, surely." "But you and Harry are not cousins, Elsie; you are brother and slater! Elsie, you are Pollys girl. Both of you are Pollys children. Polly waa the name by which Mrs. Jeena waa known among her relatives. For a while Elsie sat as one turned to atone. Then he began shivering and shuddering aa though stricken with a mortal ague. "Oh, how could she, how could ah?" he walltd. "She told me I waa her niece. May Heaven forgive her. I never can. Young Jeena sat with hla face burled in his hands. From that night the paths of the young couple were apart. When thoroughly convinced of the truth of the sick woman's statement, they drew up a paper which was an agreement to separate, and an explanation as to the cause of the parting. On behalf of Elsie, this paper was placed In the hands of Charles S. Hayden, a lawyer, who has since acted In her Interests. After the horror of the blow was over Elsie Jeens returned to Fitchburg and took up the battle of life alone. All she asked was to be allowed to forget and to be forgotten. She fondly believed that the paper she had signed had set her free. She set to work to earn her own living, but she did not neglect to delve Into tbe past and learn tbe truth about herself. She learned that she was Indeed the daughter of Mary Jeens, and was made to believe for a time that her father was a wealthy physician of Gloucester, England. Her father had never publicly acknowledged her as his child, and it is In this fart that she finds her mother's motive for letting her believe she was Mrs. Jeen's niece. Harry Jeens made a trip to England after the disclosures. He returned and told her ti.at be paper she bad signed did not set her free. And so It waa that Elsie applied to the courts to have the marriage annulled. Elsie believes that her husband Is innocent of any Intentional wrongdoing. Elsie Is now living with the family of Mr. Cushing, In Fltrhburg. They know her story, but It makes no difference In their treatment of the lovely girl. n. -- I Variable gears for chalnleas bicycles are being made by mousing a flat wheel on the rear hub having several circles of slots cut In its surface, into which the teeth of n gear wheel mesh, the wheel being loose on the driving shaft so it can b' set for any speed desired. |
