CONDIMENTS IN POULTRY DIEr.-Caysnne
pepper, mustard. or ginger can, with great
benefit, be added to the food of fowls, to in
crease their yigor, and to stimulate egg pro-
duction.
This apparently artificial diet will be seen
to be natural if we remember that wild birds
Of the gallinaceous species get access to
very many highlyspiced berries and buds
articles that give the ''game favor to their
flesh. The ordinary food of the domestic
fowl is not, indeed, entirely without some
such addition, since there Is more or less OF
an aromatic principle in wheat, Indian corn,
and all other grains. Nevertheless, it Is moi
sufficient in quantity to supply the place Of
the stronger spices, a taste for which is part
Of the fowls inherited constitution. \ mode
rate quantity Of cayenne, etc, added to the
ground grain is always productive of health
and thrift in poultry.
COoKED Mar FOR FowLS-Fowls, as wei

HELP fouRsELF.-Fight your own battles.
Hoe your own row. Ask no favors of any
one and you'll succeed five thousand times
better than one who is always beseechine
some ones patronage. No one will ever
help You as YOU help yourself. because no
one will be 50 heartily interested in vour
affairs The first step will not be such a
long one perhaps but, carving YOUR own
way up the mountain, You make each one
lead to another, and stand firm in that while
You chop still another out Men who have
made fortunes are not those who had s.. 900
given them to start with. but started fair
with a well earned dollar or two. Men who
have by their Own exertion acquired fame
have not been thrust into popularity by
pufs, begged or paid for, or given in friend
ly spirit. They have outstretched their
hands and touched the public heart. Men
who win love do their own wooing, and |
never knew a man to fail so signally as one
who had induced his afectionate grand
mamma to speak a good word for him.
Whether you work for fame, for love, for
money, or for anything else, work with your
hands, heart and brain Say 81 wiil,s and
some day you will conquer. Never let any
man have 1t to say, Il have dragged YOU
up" Too many friends hurt a man more
than none at all.-Grace Greenwood.
