—There are 45.4 quarts in 100 poundsof |
milk.
—Keep the dust box supplied with nice
clean dust, and see that the grit box is |
never empty. }
—Keeping many breeds is a poor way |
to succeed. Get to one or two va-!
rieties and give them the best of care. |
—If the hens were compelled to work
a little harder these days for what grain |
they get, it would be a good thing for |
—Never feed meat scraps that were
made of rotten meat. Good, pure feed is |
the only thing that ever ought to be fed |
to a fowl of any kind. {
—Pennsylvania last year planted 346.-
000 acres to rye; Michigan, 376,000; Wis- |
consin, 264,000; New York, 128,000, and
Minnesota, 88,400 acres.
—As the new corn gets dry and hard |
it is safe to feed more than when it was |
soft and green. It is more easily digest-
ed and gives better results. {
—During winter the drinking vessels |
must be emptied evening; it is much
easier to do that than it is tobreak a solid
cake of ice in them the next morning.
—If it possibly can be done, clean up |
the droppings each day. It is work that |
well repays one. Never allow this clean- |
ing to be delayed longer than a week. |
—Leaving the birds to fight their own i
battles against lice and other enemies |
may save some work, but it will cost’
some eggs; and eggs are worth money
these days. i
—Do not delay any longer the job of
culling out the poor stock. It is a mis-
take to keep even a single unprofitable |
Have the stock up in quality rath-'
er than in quantity. '
—If the hens are fed hot corn for sup- |
per, they will go to bed happy cold |
winter nights. Feed it just as hot as they |
can eat it comfortably. Shell some in a |
baking-pan and stir and heat it in the
oven. {
—As the weather grows colder, increase |
the supply of corn. It is a heating food. |
But never feed it alone. A good grain’
mixture for winter is two parts whole
corn, one part each wheat and oats; all
well mixed.
—A horse breeder of considerable ex- |
jence says that when an animal has
Pe galled or scarred, keep the sore well
greased with salt butter, and the hair |
will come in the same color as before the |
galling was done. i
—Many hens never know what it is to
be comfortable from one end of the win-
ter to the other, except on a day when it |
thaws. You can not expect hens to do |
well undersuch conditions. To do well |
they must be comfortable.
—The worst thing is to make poultry |
drink ice-cold water; chills them clear
through. They must warm that water
before the word of digestion can goon |
again. Warm the water for them—not |
hot, but just comfortably warm. w——.
ag i
—Start up the trap nests. They are
invaluable in pointing out the uctive |
hens as well asthe drones. T make
it possible, by picking out the poor lay-
ers, to get more from a fewer num-
ber of hens. That is economy—it saves
feed and it gives the workers more | D3&:
room.
—Fattening animals will make the
greatest gains on pasture with a liberal |
allowance of grain. Steers and hogs will |
make good net profits from } gain on pas- |
ture. Keep them veloping
at their highest speed, on therein lies
the secret of "topnotchers” to bring high-
est market price.
—A successful dairyman feeds his cows
this ration: Clover hay and corn
fodder, all the cows will eat up clean, for
roughage; for ns, peas and oats, !
n in equal parts by
pound of grain to three
milk. with 10 pounds of
ground fine, and
weight; feed one
or four pounds of
sugar beets a day.
—It is a good rule to keep fowls indoors
during rainy, snowy or windy weather.
While the rains during the summer will
do no harm to the fowls, the cold rains
of winter are injurious. Exposing fowls
to bad weather is but to invite sickness.
Therefore, the more contented will the
fowls be when confined.
—A recent Government publication
dealing with the causes of decay of cab-
bage in storage states that soft rot and
leaf blight are the immediate cause of
this decay. The organisms which cause
decay gain access to
bruises and injuries

with black rot.
—Field mice do not attack old trees if
they can get the bark of young trees, and
they sometimes do much damage to or-
chards. Wrap the trees with tarred pa-

The Carrot Cure.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, refer- |
ring to the true efficacy of carrots as a |
cure for wounds (a tradition which |
was certainly not handed down from |
Crecy). writes to Dr. Hunt in 1863. |
telling him how a man's heel, which
wns severely wounded at the battle |
of Fredericksburg, was treated by Dr.
Bigelow, who did nothing but keep the
for this purpose a little plug of carrot,
which seemed to agree with him very
well,
Another more modern medical au-
sized carrot. boiled whole so as to re-
tain its aromatic properties, then split
into quarters and warmed afresh be-
fore being served hot. It acts as a
nervine sedative while being cordial
and restorative. A sense of mental
invigoration will follow. and the di-
gestion of this estimable root will be
readily performed without preventing
sleep.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Peacock Plumage.
However much milliners may ad-
mire the plumage of the peacock and |
however much they may desire the |
money it brings, superstition prevents |
many of them from using it. i
“Rather than give peacock feathers
house room I would lose my best cus- |
tomer,” one milliner declared. “I have
done it more than once. Women who |
want their own materials made up |
have brought peacock trimming, and |
when 1 positively refused to handle it
they went away angry and looked for
somebody else to work up their pea-
cock feathers. But no doubt they bad
a long chase. because two-thirds of
the milliners feel just as 1 do about
peacock feathers.” i
“But why?" asked a woman who
carried a peacock feather in her hand
“It's bad luck, that is why.” said the |
milliner.—New York Sun.

No Paprika In Her Bones. |
A Hungarian restaurant in New |
York became famous for its culinary '
triumphs, and many visitors to the |
city became acquainted there with the |
mysterious dishes produced in Hunga- |
rian kitchens. In one of these parties
several years ago was a young matron |
from the far west, who, anxious to es- |
tend her culinary knowledge and see- |
ing how her husband relished one of
the courses of the meal, asked the
head waiter for the recipe for the dish.
“I can give it tc rou, madam” was
the courteous reply, “but you can't
make it."
“And why not? asked the sightseer.
“Because you must be Hungarian.
It might come right for an Austrian,
but an American never. You must
have paprika in your bones.” And,
taking that high ground. the request
was refused.— New York Tribune.
Across the Hall.
“Say. Snibbs, let me use your phone,
will you?"
“Sure. What's the matter with
yours?"
“It's all right. 1 want to telephone
to my wife that I'm going to bring a
man from out of town to dinner.”
“Well?”
“He's sitting in my room now, and {
the proposition.” — Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
An Essay on Man.
What a chimera, then, is man!
What a novelty, what a monster, what
a chaos, what a subject of contradic-
tion. what a prodigy: A judge of all
things. a feeble worm of the earth.

faint stars, curves downward and

a final coil it terminates with the two
bright stars Gamma and Beta, which
mark the head of the Dragon, or, in
fact, its eyes. Aratus in describing
the constellations speaks of the Dragon
as “with eyes oblique retorted, that

Does Your Cat Cough?
Poor pussy! As if the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake o' nights and of eating canary
were not enough, the doctors have just
discovered that for years she has been
responsible for the spread of diphthe-
ria. Dr. G. J. Awburn of Manchester,
England, having traced an epidemic of
this disease in a suburb of that city
to a pet cat belonging to one of his
patients, has found, after much clever |
investigation, that all cats are pecul- |
farly susceptible to diphtheritic affec-
tions of the throat. He has therefore
recently been warning all families
who own cats to watch them carefully
and if they develop coughs to forbid
Awburn further recommends that if
the cough persists and the cat begins
to grow thin to have the animal de-
stroyed at once. The only really safe
way, he says, is to let the first wheeze
be pussy's death warrant.—New York
World.
Left to a Worse Fate.
The business man was sitting in his
office thinking of starting for home
when a suspicious looking person
came in with a leather bag in his |
hand. !
“If you don't give me £5,” said the |
| visitor, coming at once to the point, |
“1 will drop this on the floor.”
The business man was cool. “What
“Dynamite,” was the brief reply.
“What wili it do if you drop it?”
“Blow you up!”
“Drop it!” was the instant com-
mand. “My wife told me when I left
home this morning to be sure to send
up a bag of flour, and I forgot it. I
guess it will take just about as much
dynamite as you bave there to prepare
me for the blowing up I'll get
she sees me!”
“I'm a married man myself,” said
the dynamiter and quietly slipped out.

Shied at the Price. |
A noted painter said at the Art club |
in Philadelphia, apropos of picture |
prices:
“I am glad there are not many buy-
ers like an old farmer in Center Bridge.
A very distinguished etcher, sketching
in Center Bridge. made a study of the
farmer's barn. The farmer happened
to appear and said he'd like to have
the sketch.
“ ‘Ef 'tain’t too dear,’ he added cau-
tiously.
“Oh, said the etcher, who makes
$12,000 a year. ‘1 won't charge you
anything for the sketch, but’— |
“His eye lighted on the pigpen.
“But I'll tell you what. You can
give me one of those nice little pink
sucking pigs there.
“Why, man.’ said the farmer with
a frown, ‘do ye know what them pigs
is worth? They're worth a dollar
apiece.’ "—Exchange. *

Richard Carle engaged as cook a
Swedish giantess who proved unsatis-
factory. On departure she asked for
a written testimonial, and Dr. Carle
presented her with the following:
wm, whom it may concern: I have
lately had in my employ Hulda Swan-
son. who was engaged to cook for a
family of three and do such other
things as would be possibile when not
cooking. Under this head might come
a little dusting and dishwashing and
answering the doorbell. Taking all
these things into account. 1 wish to
say that Hulda is absolutely the tallest
cook 1 ever saw.”—Success Magazine.
The Poet Again.
He had ong hair and a peasive look.
He wrote a poem entitled “Why Do I
Live?” He signed it Augustus and
sent it to a magazine.
The editor wrote him as follows:
“My dear Augustus, the reason why
you live is because you sent the poem
by mail instead of bringing it person-
ally.”—Paris Modes.
