STEALING A DOG. ameftapft. Sir Edwin Landseer's Experience With a London Fancier. Sir Edwin Landseer, the animal painter, one time was about to put the finishing touches to the portrait of a dog belonging to a nobleman and was expecting a visit from his model when the owner arrived in a state of great perturbation withont the dog. The an- Imal had been stolen. After talking over the loss with Sir Edwin the own- er decided to leave the matter in the painter's hands, together with a ten pound note as a reward for the recov- ery of the dog. Sir Edwin's acquaintance with the dog fanciers was large, and he sum- moned to his ald one Jem Smith, who he thought might put.him on the right track. He showed the man the picture and the banknote and promised that if the dog was restored n� questions should be asked. Six weeks later Smith arrived at the studio leading the missing dog by a piece of string, "Here is your f10," said the artist, "and 1 suppose 1 must ask no questions. But now that the affair is done with you may just as well tell me aboutit." After a moment of besitstion the man confessed that he himself was the thief. "Yon, yon thundering rascal!" exclaimed Sir Edwin. "Then why on earth have you kept ub in suspense all this time?" "Well, you see, gov'ner," was the answer, "I stole the dorg, but the gen'leman I sold hint to kep"ini ao jolly close that I hadn't a thenceof nicking him again till yesterday, and that'a the truth, s'eip me."

See that dies house is tight, except openings in that. front left for ventilatiou. See that • these windows are so protected that snow does not blow in. Whether you will keep the hens shut in or allcrty them to run out will depend upon year general plan of operation. If feeding in .litter is used, it will be best to keep the hens indoors as much as possible, and careful watch will be necessary to see that the birds are kept busy and always too hungry to mope around, yet the January hen must never go to bed with an empty crop. When the temperature of the holm is below freezing the hens sbould be given water with the chill taken oft twice or, better still, three times a day. Sometimes eggs will have to be gath- The Uses of Rubber. It is probable that no other tom- modity ever came into such varied use within so short a period as India rub- ber.

The February work of the poultry yard is very like that of the January•. The main ideit at this season of the Year is to keep the hens laying: When the warm days come; the droppings that have accumulated in the poultry house will become damp and malodor- ous and should be removed. there is a heavy fall of snow shovel .a eittlesteip in front_of the house, and If hens range around stables or n ee lots it will pay to shovel a path for. them. During very sloppy days it may be desirable to shut the bens in. as it is of little benefit for them to trail around in the slush, and it will result in the soiling of the eggs. • March. • With a well kept flock of poultry the March egg yield is the heaviest of the year..Eggs are declining in price rapidly at this season and should be • matIreted freqpently. By this month any supply of vegetables kept ,from the previous fall will have been exhausted, and • with the feeling of spring in the air the, poultryman must not forget that warm days will not bring •the hens spring foods, Dry clover and alfalfa. are fair, but sprout- ed oats are better, and it will be worth the trouble necessary to prepare them. As soon as the ground may be worked all yards or, if on a farm, a ptitch of ground near the poultry house should be sown in oats. The chickens may' pull one-half the crop up by the roots as it comes through the, ground, but it is the chickens we are interested in and not the oat crop. • If the incubator is to be used for hatching it should be started about the est of March, while the hens may now be set as rapidly as they beconie broody. With the heavy breeds every effort should be made to have the bulk. ef the chickens hatch during the month of April. During the last two weeks in. March incubators are to bo. set for Leghorns. April. With green food sown the previous month the egg produetion problem In April will simplify itself considerably. The hens can now range abundantly, and the care necessary in the winter time to keep them busy and happy is no longer required. April is the pout. tryman'S busy month.

October. • Pullets will now begin laying in con- siderable numbers. If you have fanny trade keep their eggs, which are email, separated from 'the larger stock. Any remaining old hens that are not to be kept through the winter should be dis. posed of. Runty pullets and all young male birds not needed for breeding stock should also be sent to market, November. - This month should find the laying flock nicely installed ia their winter quarters. November eggs are high in price and scarcer. than at any other time during the year. The poultry fancier will now select his birds, and get them ready for the shows. As the nights grow colder use judgment In closing up the poultry house. If it is closed tightly the hens which have been roosting in the open air will catch Cold, and roup will be the result. Keep a careful lookout for this dread dis- ease and take immediate steps to cor- rect things if the symptoms of roup appear. December. December is the height of the poul- try show season. The' fancier will be • a very busy man. His birds must be cooped, trained and prepared for the shows. The poultryman himself may be away at shows, and some one else will have to look after the flock at home. By. all means layers must not be neglected. Not only are December, eggs highly profitable, but layers that do not start in this month will be very liable to keep; in the background until tbe warm spells of March. the care or wee chicks. Of an the work of the poultry farm that of car- eng for the newly hatched .ehieks is . the most difficult o systematize or to intrust to the hands of hired labor. The coops or outdoor brooders should be well scattered about, as it is not good for targe flocks of eroung chicks to run together. Moreover. young chicks must be protected .in their feeding quarters from the pres- ence of old fowls, which in their greed to get at the food meant for the little fellows will run over and trample them. On the farm this is most easily arranged by having the food for chicks in a slat coop, which keeps out the grown fowls. •• May. May, like Aprie, is a month in which the hens take care of themselves. The hatching of the larger breeds should be finished the early part of this. month..Bens of all breeds will ,insist upon wishing to, breed, but can be - • broken up by penning them, in an out- door coop for a' few days. Little nicks will require it great deal , of ecaree-ancleeahen elmndersigewtheeelme up some one 'must hasten out. fI quently in the rain, and see that the foolish hens and frightened brooder chicks get under shelter, and do not crouch up in some fence corner.

Those found down at on •b k and dead if. the ac sapparently rescued soon enough and wrapped in woolen rags and plated around the stove, will revive in a most astonish- ing fashion.; • • . June. • The hatching of Leghorns should be brought to a close during the early part of this month and all male birds. taken from the yards. The growing chickS will now be old enough to need less care, and the chief source of,. the poultrymates iiiss will' be due to ids ecarelessnes leavin coops unpro- tected frOm "varmints." Lice and mites will now begin to invade the poultrytnan's camp more abundantly, and with the approach of the warm weather more cleanliness in feeding vessels and about the house will be necessary. e .During June crops sbould be sown to supply green food in the midsum- mer, when the grass and spring sown crops dry up.
