We need new breeds when they are better than the breeds we have. How hens do like sweet apples! for them, too. Share them between so hens and the pigs. The April-hatched pullets should now be laying. They certainly are, if they have been given the proper feed and care. If you have any little toes, the hens good use of i can make Boil them up soft, and feed a ration now and then. Let's not to coddle our hens with the first whiff of frosty weather. That softens them and makes them tender for the real cold that is coming. Corn-meal mixed with skim-milk, and fed three times a day, all the fowls will eat, is the best fattening diet I have ever tried. Feed warm in cold weather. Some farmers allow the young stock to roost outdoors during the summer, and it is important that such birds be at once placed in their winter quarters. Do not allow inferior cabbage, potatoes and beets to freeze; store them for the hens. The time is near when they will need such feeds as add succulence to the ration. Meat scraps put up especially for the hens may be had in almost any market and it is a very necessary egg-producing feed at this time. Crushed oyster-shells are needed, also. Hens will do well on almost any kind of feed if they have enough of it; but they certainly can not make eggs unless they are supplied with certain necessary elements for egg-making. Nothing ever happens without a cause. | One of the things that will surely cause sickness among chickens is crowding 150 fowls into a house large enough for Ey fifty or at most seventy-five. There should now be an extra allow- ance of corn given at night. Corn fur- nishes heat to the body, as itis slow to digest. For comfort uring winter, the SIP € fu remain practically filled the re night. An essential to the hen’s comfort in ! cold weather is a floor where no drafts | are felt. While you are repairing the | chicken house, bank it up well on the out- side, and if the floor is of earth, make | sure to have it higher inside than the | und without.—From November Farm ournal. —There is much to be said in favor of | tree planting in the fall. In the first place | there is a larger stock from which to | select the trees. In the second place there | is usually more time in the fall than in the hurry of spring work. Besides this, the rains of the winter settle the soil firm- | }¥ around the roots of the trees, so that | they are ready to begin growth in spring | at the earliest opportunity. Spring planting does well when well done. Bntmany who carnestly intend to | plant in spring find when spring comes | that the crowd of other work rules the | planting out. And this occurs year after | year in many cases. Fall planting should not be begun too | early. The leaves should be off. True, | t they can be stripped by hand, and this in | not a few cases is done too soon, in| i crowding times. The leaves should be | left until by their beginning to fall it is! seen that their important and life-giving | work is over. Their beginning to fall | shows this, and any leaves that remain | can then be taken off—will come off ! easily—and the trees can be dug. This | is usually about the beginning of Novem. | ber. And the planting may continue as) long as the ground is not frozen. As to the care of the trees, that is the | same as in spring planting. The roots | are to be exposed to the air as little as | possible, and on being brought home should be well covered in a trench in the | garden or other well- -protected place until | planted. The covering of the roots in the trench should be with the stems of the trees inclining at an angle of about | degrees toward the surface of the ground. In some cases it may be neces- sary to leave the treesin the trench until | spring, and this will be successful if the | work is well done. The trench should | be at least eighteen inches deep and the soil well worked in among the roots; and | after a good rain or two more soil should | be thrown on, making the earth above the | roots rounding and a foot or so above the | surface of the ground. Perfect planting, other things being | equal, consists in placing the tree as nearly as possible in the same condition | as that in which it was before removed. ' A good sized hole is to be dug, not less | than three feet in diameter, and doch | enough so the tree when planted stand about two inches deeper than in the nursery. And while one person | makes the best soil perfectly mellow and shovels it in gradually, another holds the tree in place and works this fine soil in | among all the roots with the hands; finally tramping the soil firmly above the | roots, but leaving the surface mellow. Moutuling up tree should never be | omitted i | planting. A small mound : of earth—earth, without grass or weeds— | about a foot high and eighteen inches in | diameter, is raised around each tree. This | is a complete protections to the tree in | the winter storms—no need of a stake— | and in addition keeps the ground mice from gnawing She a tee, njue- | ing it and sometimes t. In spring | the mound is to be leveled down and the trees mulched with straw; the mulching | always to be done in spring; the mound- | ing pin up in the £3 fall. t need y be added that the or- | ee fencud, to k ki out | a kiade of Stock.

A Habit That Is Unnecessary and at | Times May Be Harmful. “Pillows are little more than a fad and a rather harmful one at that” said a Germantown doctor. “They | should, indeed. only be used by those | who sleep on their sides, as they are | really injurious to others.

At the Head. It is stated in Mr. and Mrs. Pennell's “Life of James MacNeill Whistler” in | that part which relates to his brief West Point career that the great i. American painter was not “soldierly in appearance, bearing or habit” Whis- tler’s horsemanship is said to have been hardly better than his scholar- ship. According to General Webb, it was not wholly unusual for him at cavalry drill to go sliding over Lis horse's head. On such occasions Ma- jor Sackett, then in command, would call out: “Mr. Whistler, aren't you a little According to Whistler's version to the Pennells, Major Sackett's remark was: “Mr. Whistler, I am pleased to see you for once at the head of your She Almost Remembered.

The picture was wonderfully fasci- nating to the little girl, and when her big sister came from college in the evening she ran and got the book, turned to the picture and said: “Sister, see!

Cure Your Kid- neys. DO NOT ENDANGER LIFE WHEN A BELLE- FONTE CITIZEN SHOWS YOU THE CURE. Why will people continue to suffer the agonies of kidney complaint, back- ache, urinary disorders, lameness headaches, languor, why allow them- selves to become chronic invalids, when a certain cure is offered them? Doan’s Kindey Pills is the remedy to use, because it gives to the kidneys the help they need to perform their work. If you have any, even one, of the symptoms of kidney diseases, cure yourself now, before diabetes, dropsy of Bright's disease sets in. Read this Bellefonte testimony: William E. Haines Sunny Side St., Belle- fonte, Pa., says: “The public statement that I gave in favor of Doan’s Kidney Pills some years ago still holds good, as the cure they effeated in my case has been permanent. In 18% I began to suffer from a lameness in my back, accompan- ied by a dull, lingering ache in my loins that made it hard for me to attend to my work. I did not rest wellandI was ata loss to know what to do. After trying a number of remedies without being bene- fited I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box. They proved to be just the remedy I required. removing my trouble in a short time. I have been fully con- vinced of the curative powers of thislprep- aration.” For sale by all dealers, Price 50 cents Faster. Buffalo, New York, Ra he United States. ke —— I —— Fine Job Prinang.
