If you have hens of the right breed
and age, -srm and sunny quarters for
them to shay in, and keep them supplied
with everything they need, you will
have eggs. simply because hens can no
more help laying than they can help
breathing.

The manner of milking in the Chan
nel islands, the home of the Jersey COW,
Or more properly, perhaps, the Alder
ney, Is peculiar, and has the merit of
cleanliness, at least. Milking and
straining the milk are done at one ope-
ration. The milkmaid, with her tin
pail, linen strainer, and sea-shell pro-
ceeds to the pasture. Seating herself
beside the cow, she thus completes her
arrangements The strainer is securely
lied over the narrow-mouthed bucket,
and placing the large shallow shell on
the strainer she vigorously directs the
streams into the shell. Overhowing the
narrow brim, the milk passes through
;he strainer into the receptacle beneath,
she shell being used simply to prevent
wearing hole in the linen strainer.-

Milk and coffee stains in wooden
and mixed fabrics may be thus removed: !:
Moisten the spots with q brush dipped
In q mixture of one part glycerine, nine
parts water, and one-hal quart aqua
ammonia. Let it remain twelve hours,
occasionally renewing the moistening.
Then press between cloth and rub with
clean rag. Cry the mixture on q
piece of the garment first, and If 1t hurts
the color omit the ammonia.) Silk
garments should be thus moistened six
or eight hours only. Then rub with a
clean cloth and remove the remaining
substance with q knife. Brush with
clean water and dry between cloths. A
thin solution of gum arabic and a warm
iron applied on the wrong side will
restore the finish.-ScieHttfc american.
