Oliver S. 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.

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"

Then tho old man fell to sighing
again and looked searchlngly around
that room.
"No," said the dame, "there Is noth

one thing. The locksmith would glsd-

Then both th. old people "became si

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

the trees and the dewy grass unde
them, but still more emboldened by
tho reverent character of the hymn,
which came steadily nearer. 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

castle. The country Is free, tbo op

Tho old -knight stared around blin

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

observed tbe tailor, SB if talking to

to that effect
After the young man bad departed
tho Pauiiterer could not refrain from
the query:
"What difference does bis being sin

"Ah, my dear sir," observed th
knight of tbe thread ami needl wltb
a bland smile, "all tbe difference In the
world. Being unmarried, he. of course,
wants the pocket on tlie left sldo so
as to tiring bis sweetheart's picture

"But doesn't a married inao want

work, bo has been able to learn by ex
perience tho best aud most economical
methods for Ills business. 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

About COO female and 40 males are

Is a queer sight to s-o hundreds of
