The Cat Wh Foiled.
In the yard of a I'eunsylvouian re
cently some partridges took up their
abode and built their nest. Pretty
little birds were hatched out after their
arrival, and the mother partridge was
proud of her progeny and took pleas
ure iu caring for theui.
. A Maltese cat belonging to a neigh
bor uiade its uppearauce iu the yuid
,.ut long niuoe on a foraging expedi
tion, and, watching it a opportunity,
made a dash at the mother bird, caught
it and was tukiug it prisoner to his
own domuiu. The noise made in the
Btruggle was heard by the bird's mate,
who came to the rescue, and a regular
buttle ensued. The mule bird made a
vicious attack upon the cut, pecking
with the benk and striking at it with
the wings until he forced the cut to re
leuse his prisoner. The two birds
then flew upon the fence nnd watched
the retreating form of the cat with
evident signs of pleasure and satis
faction, aud no doubt congratulated
each other in bird lingo. New York

An illustration of what change of
seed does for the potato. The Iowa
Experiment Station planted seed ob
tained at a fair in Canada side by side
with aeed grown for seven years on the
station grounds, the former yielding
at the rate of 754 bushels to the acre,
and the latter at the rate of 10!i. The
variety was Rural New Yorker No. 2.
Making allowance for difference in
time in planting, there is still plenty
of credit to the effect of the change of
seed.
(Set Hlgll-Clas Sire.
When you bny a bonr, do you get
the cheapest that the breeder will sell,
or do you pay a fair price and secure a
good one? Do you realize that the
boar is one-half the litter of pigs? If
you have a poor sow only one litter
of pigs that are not up the mark will
be obtained, but if you breed to a poor
boar you do not get even one good lit
ter. They all are away below the
average. The best in the way of sires
is always the cheapest in the end.
Try it one year and see if I am not
right. E. T. Kiddick.
Feeding; Pumpkin.
While there is generally a market
for all the large, ripe pumpkins at
more than their feeding value, there
are always green specimens that are
not salable which are nearly as good
for feeding purposes. Remove the
seeds and cook them. All the defl
ciences iu nutrition will be made good
by some meal, which will be better
digested than if given without the
cooked pumpkins. If the seeds are
not removed the nutriment of the
pumpkin will be largely neutralized,
as the seeds have a strong diuretic ef
fect. It is also importaut to remove
the seeds from pumpkins fed raw to
cows. Even the green pumpkins may
be kept till January if protected against
freezing. Boston Cultivator.
Shortage In Beet Cattle.
There has been talk of cattle short
age for several years past, but thero
has not beeu a time .for many years
when there was such a sure-enough
shortage as at present. As long as
there are plenty of calves and young
cattle iu sight the shortage of fat cat
tle does not amount to much, but a
time has now come wheu there is a
big shortage of not only matured cat
tle, but of calves, yearling and breed
ing stock. Not only are cattle scarce
iu the corn belt, but they are scarce
iu every section of the country to
wuioh one may turn. The Eastern
States are short in spite of liberal pur
chases from Canada, aud the South
western purchases of Mexican cattlo
have seemed to cut no ligure. The
Southeastern States have not enough
cattlo to supply them in beef. There
ia, unquestionably, a shortage in cat
tle, young and old and of all kiuds.
Drover's Journal.
Improvement by Selection.
To increase the egg-producing ca
pacity of a flock requires selection.
The mistake made is not in the selec
tion of the hens, but of tho male, as he
is the sire of all the chicks hatched.
Eggs from the best layers only should
be used for hatching, and the malo
should be hatched from au egg laid by
the best heu in the flock, using only
pure-bred fowls, and avoiding kinship
if possible, as prolificacy can be trans
mitted to the progeny. If this rule is
adhered to there will in 'a few years be
a marked improvement in the number
of eggs laid by each member of the
flock. The difficulty is to discover
which hen in a flock lays the largest
number of eggs. This caunot easily
be done, except by watching the hens,
which is impossible; but the difficulty
is lessened by using small flocks, as
then the hens are known. One method
is to have the nests iu a location so
arranged that after a hen lays she can
not get back into the yard from which
she came, but must pass out of au en
trance leading into another jard. At
night all the hens that have laid will
then be together, leaving the others iu
l.he first yard.
How to hlaek Cornstalk.
Whether if stalks have to be stacked
they should be made iu a number of
small stacks or iu one largo one must
depend on the barn room available af
ter the small grain was threshed out
of it. Usually we hud the barn cleui ed
of grain by the threshers before all
the corn was husked, and the bam
would uccoinmodute most of the stalks.
But if the stalks havo to staud iu the
stuck until euteu there is less wuste tc
have several, so that while the stalks
ave fe 1 out '.hai j will bo luid hiaf.:?c
exposed. A stack ith diameter twice
the length of a bundle of stalks, with a
stout pole iu the middle, around which
the stulks may bo bound, will not heat
badly even if put up wet, as cornstalks
often have to be. In the small stack,
wheu it is fed down, only a small sur
face is exposed each day, und if storms
come some refuse straw thrown over
the stalk i will absorb most heavy
rains, aud save the stalks from iulury.
It is always best to have stalks in the
barn, if possible, us they should be
cut aud steamed, sous to feed economi
cally When whole stalks are fed
much of the best of them is lost, be
cause ill euting the cutllo throw the
stalks on the ground, where they be
come soiled mill uneatable. When cut
stulks ure steamed there is uo danger
from the sharp ends. If u iy is left,
some gruiu meal spriukhd over it will
make it pulatuble. Huston Cultivator.
Poultry Note.
Hen's feulhers luiiko good fertilizer.
Cinders from burnt bone ure good
for the poultry,
A good luvingheu will luy her weight
in ej,'gs iu thirty days.
Potatoes, carrots, turnips aud beets
make good w inter food for heus.
A dust hut h should be oueof the first
interior urrangements of the poultry
bullae.
Stud nil the old hulls to murket this
month and save the cost of the win
ter's feed.
Now that the leaves are beginning
to fall, gather a plentiful supply for
the scratching abed.
After a hen begins to moult she is
usually iu a prime condition again by
the time three months roll around.
Keep the chickens tame and when
they become hens they will bo easy to
handle and will make better mothers.
The only hens that will pay to keep
through the winter are those that can
be relied upon for winter layers or that
are needed for breeders.
There is only one way to succeed
with poultry and that is by giving regu
lar attention, proper feed, a good house
and young stock, either pure-bred or
grade.
A trio of any good breed of poultry
purchased this fall should produce
enough eggs next spring to hatch all
the breediug stock needed on the aver
age farm.
Two or three times a week let the
poultry have meat scraps. One cent
a pound is not too much to pay for
green bone, as a lot of meat clings to
the bone. Keep grit, cracked oyster
shells and green food before them all
the time.
Do not neglect the hens in any par
ticular if you expect to get a profit
from them. Even the egg laying habit
is cultivated by intelligent treatment,
lie sure to have some succulent food
on hand in the winter.

they formed in shape ami color, but
lying "flat on its side," so to speak,
on the pasture land below; the top of
the arc ueuriug the opposite hills, and

wus also witnessed by a friend who
was with me. I should be much in

Itonstlns; Coffee.
In Norway, where superb coffee is
made, a bit of butter is added to the
beans while they are roasting in the
covered shovel used there for that pur
pose. In France as well a piece of
butter the size of a walnut is put with
three pounds of coffee beans and also
a dessertspoonful of powdered sugar.
This brings out the flavor and, more
over, gives the slight carmel taste
which is so greatly admired.
Old Fahlnned Gingerbread.
To any one in whose breast there
still linger haunting memories of the
topography of the genuine old fash

early part of this ceutury, there will
come a feeling of thankfulness for this
family recipe, handed down for sev
eral generations from mother to
daughter: Two cnpfnls of Porto Rico
molasses, one cupful sugar, one cup
ful drippings (or half butter and half
lard), oue cupful cold water, a dessert
spoonful ginger, oue tablespoonful
soda, and flour to make a rather soft
dough. It may be baked as of old,
in sheets about two inches thick,
barred crowsswise with the sharp edge
of a tin, or rolled into cookies. In
either case, it will be found an ad
mirable concomitant to the morning
cup of coffee; or an assuuger of that
"aching void" with which the small
boy commonly returns from school.

Kemovlng fstnlns From Silver.
To remove stains from silver, especi
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect, use sulphurio acid, rub
bing it on with a little flannel pad,
then rinsing the articles most carefully
at once. For less ingraiued stains,
the pulp of a lemon, whose juice has
beeu used for lemon squash, may be
recommended, ns both efficient and
harmless. Indian silver and brass are
always cleaned by natives with lemon
or limes. It may be as well to warn
housekeepers in these days, when pretty
serving is such a consideration, that,
whero one has to reheat food iu a sil
ver dish from which it is impossible to
shift the eatable, a baking tin should
be half filled with hot water, a doubled
sheet of paper should be placed in this
aud the silver dish stood upon it, after
which it will take no harm from the
effects of the oveu heat. Agaiu, as
eggs and vinegar are alike apt to dis
color plated or silver dishes, always
run a little weak aspic jelly over tha
silver dish before dishing the mayon
naise, etc., to be served in it, and if
this coating is allowed to set before
putting in the other ninteriuls the dish
will suffer no damage that hot soap
aud water will not easily remove.

with the natives, who were anxious to make
their bargains qub kly und go In pursuit of
thn walrus which ure now passing, and
which every year provided the winter's food
supply. But in addition to the legitimate
articles of trade, u couple of kegs of strong
rum were put asliore, and the schooner
sailed away for Kuu Francisco with all the
wealth of the vllliigo.
by the time the natives had finished the
rum, ami got ever its elTeuts, the walrus

Daring Skill of a 1'ararhntlst.
Recently a parachutist gave several
exhibitions of his daring skill at Glas
gow. One afternoon a strong wiud
.'luried his balloon rapidly away, and
it was some time before he could muke
a descent. Ho touched mother earth
at a moorland spot near a farm house,
and an old mau stood close by staring
In blank amazement. Ho had seoa
the gaudily dressed being drop down
from the clouds. "What place is
this?" asked the parachutist, in an
authoritative tone. The old man rev
erently knelt down and clasped his
hands together, and his voice trem

Excessive menstruntion is a sign of physical weakness and want of tone
in the uterine organs. It saps the strength away and produces anemia (blood
turns to water).
If you become anemic, there ia no knowing what will happen. If yonrgums
