This trnjn always landed Rose at thq same terminal that she was glad Jerald Holmes was married of course It was afternoon on one cf those mild sunny days which occasionally lose their way in the calendar and stumble into the wrong month. Rose and her escort were strolling In the park and amusing themselves by feeding those little "furry grafters, the squirrels. Rose lihd never seen Jerald Holmes in such a happy mood. It was contagious, but at the same time she couldnt help wondering what had caused It. So she questioned very casually. Had some good news? answered her companion, Yes, how did you guess it?

For a year previous to the realization of her dream of spending a winter In New York, Rose had studied religiously the Sunday eivtions of the great . citys newspapers, xhe result was two sheets of letter paper covered with notes of places and things she uteuded to see.

Marie was blase, unappreciative no fun at all. Besides, she uttered veiled threats of leaving. Rose turned in her extremity to a certain friendly middle-ageclerk of the hotel, who knew all things. If you dont mind the cost. suggested he, you might engage some decent, presentable young man who knows his New York as a sort of permanent escort. Oh, its quite often done. The clerk even knew of such a person, until recently a guest of the hotel himself, but a bit out of luck and having some difficulty finding a job. The clerk would make a point of getting in touch with him if Rose wished. The idea was utterly novel to Rose but so was New York. She old the clerk to bring on his courier or escort or whatever he might be. And the very next day he did. The young man, who gave his name as Jerald Holmes, seemed all he was represented to be, so Rose engaged hint. Then it was a cuse of breaking the news to ' her mother. Mrs. Hall bestirred herself to be a little shocked at this caprice of her daughters, but in the end Rose had her own way, as always. Jerald Holmes proved to be a delightfully sympathetic cornpan'on.

V Con-- t ' by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Chicks hatched during the winter should be brooded in a poultry house or shed while the outside weather conditions are unfavorable; after the weather becomes settled they should be reared in brood coops out of doors. It is best to make brood coops so that they can be closed at night, to keep out cats, rats, and other animals, and enough ventilation should be allowed so that the hen and chicks will have plenty of fresh air. In most broods there are one or two chicks that are weaker than the others, and if the hen is allowed free range the weaker ones often get behind and out of hearing of the mothers cluck and call. Iri most cases this results in the loss and death of these checks, due to becoming chilled. If the hen is" confined', th weaklings can always find shelter and heat under her, and after a few days may develop into strong, healthy chicks. The loss In young chicks due to allowing the hen free range is undoubtedly large, say poultry specialists in the United States Department determined by thtlaibe experiment with station, working in the United States Department of Agriculture, that the average night droppings of the medium breeds amount to 30 pounds a year for one fowl. On this basis 100 fowls wouid produce The 3,000 pounds, or 1 tons. analyses of this manure show it to be especially high in two of the three principal fertilizing elements. If the plant food contained in a ton of average fresh poultry manure were bought at the price paid, usually, for it in the form of commercial fertilizers, the outlay would be about $10. Taking into account the fact that the quantity of manure produced in the daytime is at least equal to that produced at night the specialists find that one average hen produces about 60 pounds of manure in a year. However, only ilie night droppings are available for use, as the day droppings are widely scattered over the yards and ranges. The night droppings from 1.0G0 hens would be worth about $io0 a year. As hen manure, as it usunlly is caped for, contains only about f its original value, the loss through this form of neglect must be very large for the entire country. It can he handled most satisfactorily if mixed with loam to remove stickiness in the summer. In the winter It should be mixed yifh a fair proportion of loam, sawdust, or coal allies, sifted dried earth, land plaster, or gypsum. Wood ashes and lime should of Agriculture. Chicks frequently have to be caught and put Into their coops during sudden storms, as they are apt to huddle In some hole or corner where they get chilled or drowned.
