Newlin, Attorney-at-Law, the item of labor Is eliminated, or, ratlier, it Is not estimated In the cost of a family flock, for the reason that where only a dozen or more hens are kept they are attended to by nuy of the ) members of the family, and but a few minutes are given the fowls; hence the cost of lalor cannot te estimated, nor iloes it Interfere in any uiauuer'wltb the occupations of those who take an interest in the llock. But when one Tcnturcs-tnto raising ehieks ly the hundreds and retains a largo propor tion to attain the adult stage the labor necessary becomes a more Important Item than the food. The second ad vantage In favor of the small flock Is that the cost of the food Is materially reduced Uj'"'the utilization of the waste material from the table. The birds are scavengers to a certain extent and as sist in converting into eggs substances that would be of no use, while the scraps would be insignificant if intend ed as a portion of the ration for a bun dred or more fowls. It Is the two ad vantages mentioned that permit one to make several dollars profit per hen with a small flock and allows only $1 as profit for each hcu in a large flock. Those who have a largo number of fowls and Who keep strict accounts of all expenses lind that the cost of food varies but little from that required for a small flock proportionately, and they estimate their profits by the difference between the cost of food and tlio re ceipts, when, In fact, the value of the labor Is greater than the cost of the food In many enses, which puts a dif ferent aspect ou the enterprise. Of course when the owner performs the labor himself he receives tho price of that labor In the receipts, but that does not destroy the fact that the labor must be paid for, as tho owner may be compelled to sacrifice a lucrative, posi tion in somo other business In order to give his flocks his entire attention.

Bgatssn sf Late one evening nn old knight made his way wearily down from a high peak of the Ilarz mountains into the valley. His name was Leuthold, and he had formerly held sway over all that tract of country, but he had been driven out from his possessions by the superior might of a rich barou, and tho usurper now lived in tlie honored an cestral halls, for a gllmpso of which tho nged fKitliold:llinbed thrrwoodod heights by his cottage as long as they were passable and gazed at the two tall towers until the sun set. Then tho old man went down again Into the val ley, where he was allowed to live un molested, being considered harmless and powerless, for his only heir, a high spirited young fellow, the hero of many a battlefield, had fallen in de fense of his father's hearth. On his way home the knight always passed a chaicl which he had had erected In better days and where the body of tho young lord, sleeping his honorablo sleep, lay entombed. Then the father would kneel before the door of the lit tle building and say a Pater Noster for tho soul of his deur Slgcbald. He did so today also. Then he rose and looked longingly through the window, but he could not even sec tho colHu, for It stood In a niche lu the wall behind the altar, and Immediately after his son was laid to rest the bereuveu father, overcome by his grief, had flung tho key of the door into the rushing tor rent of the Budc. Ho rued It bitterly now, for tho poor man lacked money to have a new key made for tho elabo rate lock, and no ho had cut off himself and his good wife and his niece, Qto- twlna, who had been Slgebnld's betroth ed, from tho precious remains of their dearest huppiuess. Never before had his 1'ongiug boeu so great as on this evening. Ho gnzed at the door witn passionate yearning. He almost De sought It to give way, and felt that It must perforce yield to bis desire. But It stood firm and Immovable Derore him. It would scarcely allow the rust ed latch to be moved up and down suf ficiently to prove the strength with which every part of the brazen clamp did its duty. After the old man had tried the door In vain for awhile he turned awny and went back to his cot tage, shaking his bead and with tears In his eyes. He found his wife waiting rot nun with tho frugal evening meal. "Where Is OlotwlnaT" be asked. "Slio has gone to her room," replied the dame. "Today Is the anuKoraary of her betrothal to fiigebald, whVab, as you know, she always spends in last- Ins and solitude. Tho knight sighed deeply and was an ion! a lone time. At length tvo aaaea: "How much money have we got laid aside now?" "Not nulto two gulden." " "And the locksmlth'a price for a new key In" "Three cold euldenl Then tho old man fell to sighing again and looked searchlngly around that room. "No," said the dame, "there Is noth ing more to see here. Ther. Is only one thing. The locksmith would glsd- riv us a eaanle of ff olden for It "You mean thntr exclaimed the old man, looking np at bis sword, which h,,r nn the wail. His wlf. nodded ! assent But bo Jumped up Indignantly and cried: i-!ri forbid! I shall Oo no more worn with tho old blade In this world. It la true, bot It Us earned th right to Us IB bonor on my coffin, mgeoaia auasuu, innkins- - down from laaradlse, would ararce forgive me tf I parted with th rnithfnl old weapon." --- - -- - The dame began to weep Muna nsr nrrlnkled hand, for so renvetDDereo bow her dead eon bad pd.'a beautiful, merry boy, with th old sword and lisped of rotors Tlctotie. Then both th. old people "became si lent, put out their tight and wtsrt to The old mnu yielded to his wife's en treaties, lay quiet and prayed softly But after awhile be began again: "Wife, some one Is riding a horse past our window Just as our blessed son used to tide." She trembled and urged him with gentle voice to be still But after a lit tle tlie old wan said again: "Did you not bear how some one on the mountain called out: 'Wheel! Charge? It came distinctly through the storm. But shortly before our Slgebald fell be gave Just such a cry." "If you wish to bill me with fear and anguish," said his wife, "or to rob me of my reason, keep on with such words. It will take very little more." So the old man held bis peace and kept bis thoughts, which were many and strange, In his own breast. The wonderful tumult ceased also or was lost In other valleys, and toward morning the old people fell asleep. The bright sunlight shone again over the mountains, the dame was already seated at her distaff, and tho knight was going out to bee and spade his lit tle patch at the door and said: It Is wonderful how tho riddles and ghostly happenings of the night, when once they' have forced themselves Into man's brain, refuse to go to rest again.- I dreamed ontll bright day light of the harvest festival as we used to celebrate It In happier days at our old home" JfHow strange!" Interrupted the dame. "I also dreamed of it. The peasants came to the courtyard of tho castle with shining scythes, their wives and daughters bearing their rakes, tied with many ribbons. The harvest crowu shone brilliantly in the blue of the bright summer day, and, alas! before It walked my dear, dear boy as a young child, wound round and round with a Chain of blue cornflowers, a beautiful wreath like that of a bridegroom on his bead and a great red flower on bis breast. And I knew the red flower well." She bowed ber head, and tho knight, to turn ber thoughts from the death wound of her only son, said: "The singing was the most wonder ful to me. Even after I awoke I still beard the solemn hymn which the band bad sung, and at this moment I seem - to hear it over tho mountains coming nearer and' nearer down tho' wooded slope. Indeed, now that I open the door, the sound seems to come more plainly." X The dame heard It nm and rose in speechless astonishment to step out side the door, leaning on ber husband's arm, to look for the cause of the unac customed noise, emboldened by tlie cheerful morning beams which gilded Toward midnight -th old knight heard strange sound and cries rmglrag thromrb the Tafleya.- Froes oa of tn bclchts a light Ilk. a great oain tarouxh ths window of the trot He was about to get op to as. wbst It might be, bot his wlf. said: "Lie still husband. 1 hart Mr n for a toom time and bar baem prartakg Urotly.

Shawms and reed pipes mingled with tho sing ing. As the elderly couple stood at the door they could see, through tbo trunks of the beechea, a crowd of people with gleaming scythes In tlielr bands; some, however, bad also naked abalberds and spears. Ah, heavens!" cried the dame. "It is not yet harvest time. And why do they come thus, with song and rejoic ing? See how red the morning sun shines on their scythes.' "Il'ml There must have been a grave mowing somewhere," muttered the knight. Ho knew tbo red on the boro steel far too well to taka It as did bis wife, far tbo reflection of tho morning sun. Meanwhile the peasants had formed a semicircle around the venerable pair, and out from their ranks, between the scythes and lances which tbey brand ished as tbey finished their song, step ped Diotwtna with radiant face. She went up to tho astonished couple and said "He who goes early to prayer finds good fruit Hero at the edge of the wood these heroes met me, and they wish that you hear the tidings from my Up. Tbey have reconquered your castle. The country Is free, tbo op pressor Is dead.1" Tho old -knight stared around blin aa If bo bad again fallen Into the dreams of the previous night. Then the oldest of the armed peasants approach ed,a venerable graybeard, like bis mas ter, and, taking the spade and bo gentry from his hand, bo placed in their stead an ancient silver staff, In laid with gold, which Leutholds fore fathers bad born from Urn imme morial and which had now been re captured with th other family relic. Then tbo circi of meo raised a great about of Joy, repeating Dlotwlna'i words, "Toe country la free. The op pressor Is dead!" over and over and striking their weapons against on. another so that they clanked Jubllant- "It Is all true," aald the old peasant to the still Incredulous pair. "Tour brother's son, liicbard, has returned frota th crmade, mi Ueaje, and has broagbt these woaderful things to pas atne yesterday evening, when b fltjrt ahowejd bluiatslf here.

She Is hereby betrothed to him before God and man!" He bad stretched out his right hand toward heaven os If taking a solemn oath. The procession halted In amaze ment and looked at tho impetuous old man, but his wife was deathly pole. and at length she said sndly: Husband, husband, whnt have you done? ' How can this fatal rashness be found with hair so white? Look around you and sec where wo stand. londer is the chapel within which our only son sleeps, and you have Just an nulled lXotwln.i's solemn vow to live and die the pure betrothed ofoiir Blgo bald.

Then Dl otwina oitened ber lovely Hps In a smile like that of an nugel nud said: "Father and mother, do not grieve. I think stir onths arc not so conflicting as you Imagine." And, turning toward the old peasant, she continued: "How do you know thnt your lender of last night was Itlchard?" "In God's name, gracious lady, who else could It be?" replied tho old man.

I stood at my window, and my tears fell upon a beautiful myrtle bush which lu former happy days I tiad intended for my bridal wreath. Now It had reached tho fullness of its beauty, but tho feast which It should novo graced was never to bo. I wus Interrupted in tills and other like thoughts by a slight nolso outside the door of my room. I could distinctly hear somo one coming up the little stairway with soft, light steps, but with clanking spurs, and, as k father and mother bad long since gone to bed. 1 .wus arraiu. l lien me uoor waw pushed half open and uu arm in cased lu steel wus thrust iusldo my room, holding a scarf which I bad em broidered for my betrothed und which was laid In the colllu with lilui.

"Than the palo youtli stepped slowly and gravely Into the room, clad lu armor, with raised visor. 1 knew tho dear features well, but yet I had not the courage to gaze straight Into bis helmet, so I do not know whether bis eyes were fixed and hollow, ilku tboso of a corpse, or glowing with tender love, as they were In life.

I set the wreath oa his flehnet, and ho rose, saying: Do not bo alarmed, dear love, If you bear the din of buttle lu the val leys. God has given tlie victory Into my hand.' "And then he took leave of me, so sweetly that all my fear vanished, and had to smile after him as I used to do when be left mo for a merry Joust Only when I heard him gallop away on his horse so fast and so eagerly Into tb Bight did th terror com. over at again. "Now you know who your deliverer was, dear, faithful people, and If you wlQ open the chapel and the coffin, as I pray you to do, th. victor's wreath oo the helmet of my betrothed will bear testimony to the truth of my words."

A Plant Thnt Prodneee Poultry nnd BSJS For the tieneml Market. About 12 miles west of Boston, near tbe enterprising manufacturing city of Walt ham, is located the Kirwm poul try farm, owned and managed by Mr. Wnlter J. Kirwln. Mr. Kirwln began poultry raising years ago and has gradually developed It Into an extensive and profitable busi ness, devoting his time and farm to this occupation. He is what we call a "bread and butter poultiyiuim,"- mean ing by that term a man who derives bis living entirely from bis poultry. Such men are rather scarce. Poultry raising Is generally not the only occu pation, -and hens are generally a side Issue' to farming, various trades or a profession. Mr. Kirwln deserves all bis success. He is a Yankee straight through, earnest energetic and a push er, with the keenest Judgment that The State Supreme Cour granted thepiayer of tire Seaboard Air JLine to place upon the docket the noted case in which a Charleston .firm got $20,000 damages for an ice iactory at Raleigh, which it -' claims waa burned by, parks from one of the railway's locomotives. The " rail way company appealed and was given 30 clays in which to file ap peal, but by the negligence of its local-attorneys did not fileit in - time. The railway then came for- ward and pleaded for a new trial, on the ground that it had lost, its rem edy without neglect on its own part. , The road asked for a writ of cer-r tiorari to the court below and this prayer is granted. i ' " r . Do Plant. Think A well known botanist propounds the question, "Have plants the power of reason or any way of determining what is going on around them?" Tbo question, though ho admits It appears ratlier fantastic, Is prompted by ob servations ho made a few weeks ago. His daughter wns tending a morning glory vino ut home, when a delicate tendril reached out toward a nail In the casing. Tho botanist proceeds: "She marked the iiosltlon of tlie ten Sril wltb n pencil on tlie wood and then shifted tbe mill alwut an Inch lower. Next day tlie little feeler had deflected rself very noticeably and was again beading for the null. "l'lie marking aud shifting were re- lieatcd four or Ave tiroes, always with the same result, and finally one night' the tendril, which bad grown consider ably, managed to reach tlie coveted Kupimrt, and wo found It coiled tightly around It." Other little experiments of a similar nature are put forward In support of the botanist's theory. London MalL Fnekets nnd Ssntlaasnt.

"Ah, my dear sir," observed th knight of tbe thread ami needl wltb a bland smile, "all tbe difference In the world.

It Is Just this fact of being right wltb tbe bens and the ability to quickly determine causes and results that form such an essential part of tho 11 fo of prosperous poultry raisers. Tbe poultry buildings aro located on a gentle sloiw of ground and are pro tected on tlie north by a steep, rocky bill well covered with forest Tbe plant consists of a main building 400 feet In length and several smaller ones. In the center of tbe plunt Is tbe feed bouse, two stories high, with a cellar. In tho cellar are tho engine and boiler nsed for pumping water into a large tank in tbe attic holding 800 gallons. Tower Is also used for grinding food, bones, etc. Bteain Is utilized for cook ing tbo food (morning mashes) and to warm part of tbo house when used to raise young chicks. Tlie flrst floor Is partly a granary and contains the bono and grist mills. etc. On tbo second floor are an office and a room for general storage. Tb main building Is divided Into pens 12 feet wldo and 10 feet long, opening luto each other by doors In tbe partitions near tbe windows. These doors bang ou spring binges and open either way. Thus every foot of space Is In use by the fowls, and It seem more economical and almost as con venient as having a long passagoway( or ball cot off rroin the pens. At any rate, this plan of tbe doors Is used In many successful long poultry houses In this section. . There, are three good sited windows to each pen,- tbe sasbes sliding up and down. This realty makes tlie eutlre front of glass, con siderably more than can be found In most modern henhouses, but Mr. Kir wln' claims this lias proved quite satis factory, even In tlie student weather. Tbe stock Is mily Barred Plym outh Bocks, selected for praclk-ul rather tbau fancy iolnts. There are about 29 bens nod 2 mull's In each pun. About COO female and 40 males are kept during the wilder, and 1,000 chicks aro ralm-d every year. Hen power Is used entirely for batch ing and rearing. As to Ineubotors, be suiplle every year about 12.000 eggs to customers using machines, bot as yet has not adopted them, saying be has not tbe time or money to experi ment and knows what tan be counted oo from natural methods. Barrels with lath fronts arc used for coops, and It Is a queer sight to s-o hundreds of tbes scattered all over tbe grassy slope or under tbe trees of the large apple orchard. The beus are kept con lined In coop for four days aud after that have free range with their brood of chicks until tbe latter are 6 weeks okb-'Wheo tlie chk-ks res.b this age, several broods or shout U0 chicks are placed In a email house. These bouses are built wltb ojh-u side, tight roof and Door, and are tore feet Id front and two feet high at tb bark. Tbey are movable and are generally placed In a mowed field. Chk-ks remain In then until the cockerels are killed for market and pullets are placed In win ter quarters. W. II. Ilbee lo Feather.
