—A good grain mixture for winter
evening feeding is two-fourths whole corn,
one-fourth wheat and one-fourth oats.
—Increase the y of corn in the
evening feeding as wea grows

—Save the corncobs. They are good
for smoking the meat in the absence of
hickory wood, and they are splendid for
putting to a charred condition for the
0gs.
—Ventilation that comes in everywhere
through the cracks is not ventilation at
all; it is cold shivers and down the
back and lots of discom Don't let it
be that way in your houses.
—I never crowd too many into one
house; six square feet of floor space for
each bird is about right. I have found

—A cow stable in America is usually
an , uninviting and in many cases
absolutely filthy , where, to the dis-
of civilization, human food is pro-
uced. In Holland a cow stable is as
clean and carefully cared for as any
room in the house.
~—While a hog has a poor outer coat
for out the cold, it will not have
much trouble to keep warm if itis fat.
The fatter the animal the better it will
be able to stand cold weather. The layer
of fat under the skin acts something like
does the fur on some animals.
—Changeable weather this month is apt
to develop colds. Keep a close watch on
the stock, and at once remove an ailing
bird from the flock. A warm, dry coop
or cage, and a one-grain quinine pill
night for three nights in succession, will
soon bring the bird back to good health.
—In order to balance a ration, and sup-
posing the farmer has corn and
timothy hay, he should purchase clover
hay, bran and oil meal. rn and clover
hay make a fairly well-balanced ration,
the corn furnishing the carbohydrates
and the clover the protein and mineral
matter.
~The Secretary of Agriculture is au-
thoritatively quoted as saying that if
every distil and brewery in the United
States were to close and never use an-
other bushel of grain in the manufacture
of intoxicating liquors the American far-
mers, as a class, would not know it as far
as the effect would show itself on the
markets for grain.
—] kept close watch of my flock, and
the hens that began to lay first after molt-

pens | gathered my eggs for hatching
and by so doing I have wonderfully im-
the laying qualities of my flock.
mating has also been the means of
rearing birds with stronger constitntions
—more hardy and vigorous.
—Darying in Holland is the princi
occupation. The and is worth from
to $1000 an acre, yet the people pay their
rents or interest on the investment by
produciug butter and cheese, which they
place on the European markets in suc-
cessful competition with that produced
in America on land of less than one.fifth
the Yalue. The secret = =afficient cows,
excellent care, co-operation and superior-
ity of butter and cheese.
—In cold weather I feed oats and bran
mixed with milk or warm water. [I allow
the mixture to stand over

DAILY THOUGHT.
The real meaning tact is thinking about others.
it means considerably what others will think and
feel, instead of considering only what we our-
selves think and feel. —Home Chat.
A Hint About Frocks.—Now that gir-

may Be covered with another of some
transparent inexpensive material fulled to
fit the belt. :
‘The bottom can be weighted by sewing
a trimming on the hem, or a pretty effect
may be secured by shirring the lower
edge and catching it to the foundation,
allowing just the slightest puff effect.
When a dancing gown is needed this is
an excellent idea. ;
A girl who aspires to being awfully
simple succeeds generally in being simply
awful.—Smart Set.
Mid-Winter Hints.—Some of the stand-
ing are hemstitched around the
t
Belts match the skirts instead of the
waist this season.
Most of the new crepe blouses are in-
set with Irish crochet lace.
Pretty little neck bows are made of
colored work embroidery.
Figu as well as stri henriettas
are in the shops.
Shirtwaists should be worn only by
girls over 15 vears.
Corduroy walking suits are seen in new
shades.
Jet chains are popular, with lockets of
the same material.
The coming summer is loudly heralded
as a season of color.
A warm bed and a hot water bottle, or
failing that, a hot iron, are excellent
ies for insomnia in cold weather.
The bed should be warmed with the hot
water bottle before one Sets into it, and
if there is a radiator in 00m the pil
lows should be placed upon it for a few
minutes. Otherwise they should be warm-
ed with the bottle. It is wonderfully
soothing to get into a warm bed on a cold
night—much more so than warming the
bed with one's body—and may make all
the difference between peaceful slumbers
and wakefulness. Then if one wakesin
the dead watch and middle of the night
there is a wonderful sense of companion-
Ship in the warm bottle at one’s feet, and
under this influence one may soon drop
off to sleep again. The practice in sum-
mer should be just the reverse. Then
coolness will induce sleep just as warmth
does in winter.
Success in dinner giving is something
like success with flowers. The
must be grouped as artistically th re-
gard to congeniality as owers are
with reference to color and form, and
both must have the right sort of environ-
ment. The room must be cool, but not
too cool, and the viands must be well
chosen, well cooked and well served. The
lights must neither be too dim nor too
t, and the flowers should have but
odor, for however delicious, the | ti
fragrance of flowers grows heavy as the
evening wears on. ith all this and con-
geniality, a dinner cannot fail, and in
those few hours one can get better ac-
quainted with those on either side than
would be impossible in weeks under less
favorable circumstances.
The mouth is the most expressive fea-
ture in the face.
Itis igo the one which we have the
power to change.
No matter how plain she may be, the
woman who is kindly and sympathetic,
in the best sense, rarely has a homely |
mouth.
And the most beautiful face in the
world, to start with, may be marred by a
mouth that expresses discontent, or hard-
ness, or peevishness.
We all know this, in a general way,
but few of us deliberately look into the
mirror, to observe, with a cold and imper-
sonal gaze, the state of our own mouths.

containiug two very beautiful win

; Sham Wisdom.
| The Sophists were a body of teach-
ers in ancient Athens during the
| fourth and fifth centuries B. C.. who
| gave instruction in any or all the
higher branches of learning. Although
| they were uot a philusophic sect and
| held no doctrizes in common, the
Sophists were nevertheless skeptics
(and maintained 2a beliet of uncer-
| taiuty of all particular knowledge
| and, in fact, in the impossibility ot all
{ truth. Their two leading representa-
tives were Protagoras and Gorgias.
The Sophists were charged with
bringing reasoning into contempt by
casting uncertainty over the most
obvious truths aud in consequence
were ridiculed and denounced by Aris-
| tophanes, Socrates and Plato. Aris-

A Remarkable Banquet Party.
One of the most notorions Hungarian
duelists fought his thirty-fifth duel in
1886 and celebrated the event by a ban-
quet, to which only those who could
prove that they bad participated in at
least six duels were invited. ‘I'here
was a room full of such warriors, some
with faces seamed with scars, others
minus an ear, an eye or with two or
three fingers missing. ‘I'he most mark-
ed of all was a Frenchman who bad
lost his nose in an encounter with
Count Andrassy, the statesman. There
was only one relaxation of the rule,

for its great natural causeway, is inhabit-
ed BY 3 Spe folk among whom crime
is y unknown. Nevertheless,
they possess a curious old prison, proba-
bly built as a mere matter of form, but
which has had few inmates. No police
force is maintained, although there is a
single constable chosen by popular elec-
on.
For a number of years this prison,
