A Challenge Answered.
In a former letter I spoke of the
torn announcement of a paper pub
lished for the first time the day be-J
fore the dost ruction of Messina and
called. The Future. Tills coincidence
struck mens sufficiently dramatic1
and pathetic, without further detail,
but the rest of the story is far more
remarkable. It seems that there'
were many free-thinkers p Mes
sina, and free-thinkers of the i.atin
type, not merely doubting or unbe
lieving. but violently opposed to any
thing that mvored of religious belief
This new paper belonged to them \
and the first number was filled with
attacks not only on the Church. Imt
on all religion. The editor, not eon
lent with lying in his heart, "There
is no God," devoted a violent editor
ial to the subject and used these
words, addressing God: "if you are
not an impotent fool, send us an
earthquake to prove you exist." That
very night tin- city was destroyed. I

. The True Story of "Tank.”
By Phoebe Wilbur Griffin.
After the Spanish-Amerleau war
was over, and many of the men were
sent back to their respect*' e posts.
Mr. Z — brought home a common
nntivi Filipino pup. il< was a small
shaggy, yellow pup. with blight
eyes, a knowing curve in liis neck
when he was intently listening, and
an enthusiastic and grateful wag to
his little tail. Mr. Z-lived in a
town near the Fort, and the pup. yet
nameless, was domiciled in liis fam
ily. Every day the dog would fol
low his master back and forth to the
Post, where he soon became a great
favorite with the soldiers. •
One day some of the soldiers took
the l'ttle Filipino with them on a
iramp through the country. Present
\ ly they halted at a common road
along our In uitlful country road*—
ami all went in for a drink. The men
were dusty and tired, and warm, and
so watt the dog. Finally, "Just for
fun," one fellow offered tn*• dog
some beer, mid being warm and
thirsty, the ■nuoeeul creature drank
and kept on drinking to the groat mer
riment of thus weak men. But soon
he was dead drunk, and the men tar
ried him back to the Post in that
condition.
I don't know whether he was put
in the guard house or not., but I do
know the tnee. our soldiers, who are
supposed to p'oteet our eointry front
foes without ind front foes within,
who ditl such a cruel thing to a
poor, defense'lls dog. ought to have
been punished in some way. Tile sol
diers then named the dog "Tank," be
cause lie had drank so much. Think
of poor "Tank." always a respectable
dog, when In- awoke front tin drunk
en stupor! The humiliation he must
have felt, for he had always been an
honest, sober dog. Those men
thought it a good joke, I am sorry to
say, and noxi time they had a
chance they thought they, would re
peat the joke But "Tank," thought
ful, lessoning "Tank," did not agree
with them, so when the drinks went
around again, poor "Tank" absolutely
refused to even go inside the saloon,
and better still, he seemed to be
afraid another terrible experience
would happen him, that, lie cut loose
from Ids evil companion* and ran as
hard as lie could back to the Fort to
his master and friends.
liver after that just the sight of a
beer mug. or even the ‘growler,”
would make him run back to his mil
itary home for protection. Don't you
think that was a wise dog? There
are i great many men who do not use
as much good cortitnoit sens" as this
little dog from the Philippines; they
do net stop after the one sad exper
ience, hut keep right on to their des
truction. Wouldn’t you think the
men who were with "Tank” on that
occasion woub' have received a b-s
son pi total abstinence from the
dumb animal? I told some of the
soldiers, afttv ilils declaration of
principles from "Tank" they ought
in change his mine to something bet

Damp houses are the greatest pro

If you Intend to raise chickens for

More fowls die from bad ventilation

If you Intend to build a new pottl

The natural grain feed of fowls is
hard and they should he fed hard

Never kill a chicken just before It

Ideal Turkey Ranges.
Meadows, pastures, and. after har
vest. grain fields are ideal ranges for
turkeys. They are busy foragers and
the insects they find give them the
meat feed that is necessary to their
best development. If the owner will
attend to giving them a moderate
grain feed every day he will find ihat
his care and the cost of the feed will
be returned many fold when it comes
time to put the birds on the market.
Capacity of Hens.
It should be the aim of every farm
er to find out the capacity of his hens
and make them produce to their full

strated beyond a doubt that hens can
be made to yield a net profit of at
least one dollar each per year.
! RAISING GEESE FOR PROFIT
experience of One Man with Wild
Variety Shows New Way to
Make Some Money.
; n v i! r; reck ham. s.u.e.m. mass.)
A friend of mine had derived much
p!i astire, besides a comfortable profit
from raising wild geese In captivity.
The idea first occurred to him while
visiting a gunners’ stand on the sea
! shore, w here wild geese were being
used is decoys. During the long waits
width necessarily occur between the
flights of birds, the conversation
naiurally turned to ways and means
In vogue in this kind of shooting, and
th<> difficulty of_sccuring good birds to
net as decoys was much dwelt upon.
"If they are so rare and expensive,
why could I not make an honest dollar
| rerring them in captivity," he rea
med, and then and there determined
to make the attempt.
To secure a pair of birds, goose and
' i. i ./To begin with, was not an easy
-t. sit, and vet was successfully accom
plished before the season was over.
As the gunners fired upon the birds,
now and then one would be brought
down which was not seriously injured,
and which with care and attention
would soon recover from its wounds.
S* looting a pair of these “winged"
birds, he gave their injuries careful
treatment, and carried them home.
Soon they had completely recovered,
ami were as well as ever.
Early the following spring, they
Gray Wild Goose.
built n rude nest on the ground, in a
secluded curt ot' their pen, which their
owner had taken good care to provide
and moke appear as out of the way
ns possible, to prove attractive with
tii1 ot for this very ptirp ■ and before
lone: he had a brood of nine goslings
! i .nning about the yard and pen, as a
i't suit of the foretlio i:’:l!.t with which
j his plans had been laid.
Thus his little flock of wild geese
had its beginning, "t love to see them
about." he says, "and hear their clat
ter. Harsh and unmusical it may be,
perhaps, but full of suggestion for one
who loves the wild, and life in the
woods and on the water.”
The young are easily tamed and ac
customed to the presence of man, yet
must be clipped regularly and watched
closely, or some day they may yield in
stinctively to the "call of the wild,”
and join a passing flock of their un
tamed brethren on their way south or
north.
"I have received as high as $10
apiece for my young birds, ready for
use as decoys, and five dollars a, pair
for table use, says the owner of this
flock. "Not a bad Investment, seeing
(hat they cost me nothing nt the
start.”
And it would certainly seem that he
had suggested a means of earning an
extra penny, not to be despised. These
birds are very hardy, and able to
thrive under the most untoward cir
cumstances. They will even pick up
a living unassisted on what green
food they can find, if no better is at
hand. They are also quite prolific,
and rapidly Increase in numbers, and
are in no way harmful or vicious,
though the gander will bravely defend
his mate while sitting, and it Is best
not to approach the nest at such
time.
MAKING HOME-MADE BROODER
Instructions as to How One Can Be
Constructed with Aid of Tomato
Can as Radiator.
In making a brooder for the little
chicks first secure a goods box and in
the center of the bottom cut a hole
just large enough to receive a tomato
can. Flinch holes In the side of can
Tomato Can Radiator.
and in one end of can cut a hole large
enough for a l'L>-ineh pipe. Also cut
a t'a-inch hole in the top of box.
Run a piece of piping through from
can to opening in top of box. An ordi
nary lamp furnishes the heat to the
radiator formed by the can.
New Rope Halter.
Every stockman knows how incon
venient. a stiff new rope halter can be.
\ew rope may be made as pliable as
old, it is claimed, by simply boiling it
for two hours in water. Then hang
it in a warm room and let it dry out
thoroughly.
On the appearance of any lump
about the legs of a horse, It should be
bathed diligently with water as hot
as can be borne. What might de
velop into a spavin may sometimes in
| ibis way be checked at the start.
