Chickens from the time they arc two

Exercise Is absolutely necessary to

Convenient Shipping Crates.
The top strip on each side of crate
should extend four Inches at each end
of crate, as no handles can be placed
on the coop that will be quite so eonve
lilent. The bottom should be boarded
never stripped, as in the latter case the
birds get their feet bruised and broken.
Most transportation companies will
return shipping crates free of charge,
ond in this case It pays to have good,
neat coops. Such coops should be
made strong, but of light, thin mate
rial, lath for Inxtance. Trap door In

lengthwise. Wheat or other food In
the bottom of a coop often hurts the

When coops are stripped up and down,
then, when desirable, feed may be
given the fowls in vessels placed out
side the coop. Neat appearance helps
to sell all products aud Is one of the es
sential factors In securing topnotch

Horses Buffer For Water.
Allow me to call attention to a sub
ject of Interest to horse owners a prac
.tire that, to my mind, is decidedly
wrong. It relutes to the watering of
horses. All dry feeds are absorbents
of moisture and many of the ailments
that the horse Is subject to, even when
not showing nny definite symptoms,
are owing to the lack of fluid, and es
pecially water. If the nerves are des
sicated from feeding dry feeds through
lack of fluids, then It is certain that
other tissues are also suffering from
tbe same cause, and the wheels of the
machinery ure lieing clogged by rcuson
of waste matter which is not properly
carried away. ,
Water does n threefold service It
feeds.-,lt moistens, and carries way the
cinders of the body furnace. Tor the
want of it tbe aniinul Is exposed 1o
many and various dangers. I want to
emphasize that the woy the majority
of people water their horses, or fail to
wnter them, is wrong. To Illustrate:
A farm team comes from the field at
night, or a rood team from the road, or
Is Idle In the stall, it la the usual prac
tice to water them before feeding; that
Is all right. They tlrink or they do not
drink, just as their systems demand
for the time beinK, 0nd often tbev do
not need water until they have been re
plenished with food. The feeder give's
them the night's feed, sufficient until
morning.
The owner. or driver or feeder con
sole themselves their horses are well
cared for, not 'taking into considera
tion that it takes feed and water both
to make o healthful digestion.. After
tbe horse has en'ten a quantity of the
night feed go to the stomach of tbe
horse and And the feed in its dry state,
except the salnva that was used to
masticate It, and as a general principle

Before weeding out stock on the

every year there will be more or less

Better Farm Returns.
Tbl( farm. is not only a source of rev
enue to its owner, but offers him many
opportunities for improvement in busl-
ncss. While the farmer may meet wltt
misfortune during unfavorable sea-
sous, yet if he owns tbe farm he has at
least the means for employment, and
he need not be Idle during any seasoc
of tbe year. The farm, however, doei
not- yield crops free of charge to the
farmer. The fertility of the soil maj
lie sold In tbe form of produce and the
land cease to be productive, but In
such misfortune the fault Is more wltb
the farmer than with the farm. Th
value given everything grown upon the
farm comes from tbe labor applied,
and tbe profit derived from the laboi

skill of tbe farmer. Labor can be

tage. When the former sells wheat,

and If he can produce these article
with the l-.-ast outlay for labor his
profits will be proportionately larger.

valuable according to the cost of pro

AN EMERGENCY WOMAN.
A Gentlewoman With Menu Win Intro
docef Mew Vocation
"Several years ago I was left In a
position that necessitated my making
money," said a woman to a Chicago
Inter-Ocean reporter. "I had no spe
cialty, no training for self-support. I
was a gentlewoman with common
sense and good Judgment. I knew a
good deal about housekeeping find Its
problems, as every conscientious wom
an who has hod a home of her own
does, but I was not willing to take
regular employment In domestic ser
vice. At first I tried to find a place
as companion or secretary, but such
places were scarce ond I hadn't the
training for them.
"In the meantime I helped several
of my acquaintances through times of
domestic storm and stress, und, though
I hated It, allowed them to pay me.. A
wealthy woman wbo knew of me
through a family connection was
called to a sick husband in Bout hern
California. She had small children
and no one save the ordinary nurses
to leave them wltb. It occurred to her
that I might be willing to take charge
of tbo house and family and she sent
for me in a great rush. I went and
stayed for three weeks. Tbey paid me
royally.
"It was while I hod charge of that
home that I thought of muklug emer
gency work my profession, 'and the
more I thought of it, the more the plan
opened out and the more possibilities
It presented. I talked the scheme over
with a number of women wbo could be
depended upon to give me employment
and tell others about me. They all
agreed that thert? was need of such
services, ond that tbey, personally,
would lie gbid to know of some one
to whom they could turn in any do
mestic complication.
"I put my pride in my pocket and
was willing to help wltb anything from
tiding a -woman through a sudden loss
of servants to superintending bouse-
cieanlng or running a wedding. Of
course there are olways caterers to be
found, but unless one employs tbe best,
pays a big sum ond goes In for on
elaborate offalr, the caterer doesn't al
ways fill. the requirement. Ordinary
entertainments need what I've heard
servants call 'the lady touch.' A worn
an of refinement and good breeding
knows bow to do things In a fashion
that Is quite distinct from the ordinary
caterer's method. She understands
china and linen, too. She has a knack
with flowers. She knows exactly how
to make a room all that Is comfortable
for an unexpected guest.
"Illness gives rise to a number of
calls for me. though I'm no trained
nurse. I'm a fairly good nurse as aiuii
teur nurses go, but my work is more
often outside of the sickroom than In
it, taking charge of the bouse, the chil
dren, ond attending to outside matters.
Very often I've taken Invalids away
when there was oo member of the fam
ily who could go, ond the person was
not ill enough to need a trained nurse.
In tbe families where I have obtained
a hold and where tbey know me well,
they have learned to depend upon me
and would rather have me at hand
than a strange professional, even If
they have to pay me as much or more
than they have to pay to the profes
sional.
i ve neipeu a great many young
brides through the first domestic reefs
and shoals. In most cases tbey have
been the daughters of families where
I have been called In, and so tbey have
grown used to thinking of nic as a help
in time of trouble.
"It Isn't a very Imposing profession.
Is It? I'll never make a fortune at it,
and I know some of my friends look
upon the work as menial, but I bad
no one talent, and I needed money."
An Anecdote or George Eliot.
When George Eliot was still Miss
Evans, and before she had begun to
write novels, she used to frequent an
old book shop oo the Strand, where
she left a very unfavorable impression
on one young man who wiib ot tbut
time un assistant In John Chapman's
shop. His description of her is that of
a remarkably ugly young woman of
universal knowledge, whose delight it
was to use the Sot-rat lc method in con
versation, but without the Socratic
benevolence of Intention. The result
was that the young men at the dining
table (the shop had a boarding house
for its employes and guests; who heed
lessly hazarded an opinion were very
soon made to feel not only that they
knew nothing of the subject under dis
cussion, but that they knew very little
ludecd of anything. Now o young mini

Subtle Changes In Styles.
To tbe casual observer tbe styles of
this year are very different from those
which obtained favor last -year. But
change in fashion is always subtle; we
never really rush from one distinct
mode Into another, and one may realize
this by recalling bow gradually we dis
carded the puffed sleeves, adopted those
that were tight fitting, ond again dis
carded these in favor of the bell sleeve,
which a( preseut absorbs our attention
to tbe exclusion of oil others, says the
Delineator. Aud It should be noted
that although this sleeve Is adopted by
tho multitude it 'is by no means be
coming" to' every "woman; indeed, if she
be stout ond short it will odd notice
ably to the rotundity of her outlines.
However, a fashion of this kind gives
an opportunity for many fanciful dain
tinesses In the way of undersleeves and
lace trimmings, while It always has the
advantage of supreme comfort, 'uo
vided it be not too exaggerated.

Gloves are shorter than tbey were,

expensive to start, but, as the name im
plies, capable of being constantly kept
clean. There are, to wear with elbow
sleeves, which still continue in favor,
long gloves of glace or Suede in all
the light colors. White is preferred, al
though with a light gray gown or a
very light tan it is a fad of this season
to have the gloves of the same shade.
To wear with tailor gowns or for the

is considered quite the best ond smart

The Hcst Cure.
What makes people tired is not over
work, but overconccntration. ovtrnice
ncss in clinging to one settled rule till
the nerves rebel.
What is most needed lor rccrea'.ir.n is
relaxation. In carrying burdens, either
mental or physical, there is nothing like
"changing hands" often.
Kerrcation need not always consist of
social diversion of going to the theatre
or the show. One must vary his rou
tine, if nothing more than to change his
position while at work.
Routine kills more Americans than
anything else. It brings about depres
sion, despondency, and nervous break
downs. '
These general principles and their ap
plication constitute what the doctors
call "the rest cure." There's nothing
like keeping out of the ruts.

For years I had been a sufferer with
chronic stomach trouble, pressure of (as
and distress of my bowels. I contracted
what ihe doctor pronounced a low type
of malaria. I could not take solid food
t all, and only a very little of the light
est diet would create fever and vomit
isf. The druggist sent me a box of Ri
pana Tabules, saying he sold more Bi
pans than anything else for stomach
trouble. I not only found relief, but be
lieve I have been permanently cured.
At druggists.
The Five-Cent packet is enough for an
ordinary occasion. The family bottle,
80 cents, contains a supply for a year.
