to see him come plodding slowly in

always sanguine of better luck next

Feeding and Dressing. Fowls.

. Mrs. Fanny Field, an authority on
poultry matters, reports through the
Prairie Farmer, that she has had the
best success in fattening by use of as
much as the hens or turkeys" can eat
clean of a mixture morning and noon Of
boiled potatoes, beets s2d carrots thick
ened with corn and barley meal, and
whole corn at night, and milk Kept by
them constantly in. abundant supply:
ten days or two weeks of such feed
ing will put fowls in prime condition for
market, i. e. if they are in decent order

starved all summer, no amount OF extra
will ever make them as good for
table use as the fowls that have been
well kept all their lives. The bast mar
ket turkeys L ever saw were well fed
from the time they were twenty hours
old. For the last month they are fed
three times daily-cooked vegetables
and meal at morning and noon, and
corn at night. They had all they could
eat up clean each time, but no food was
left IN their feeding places. They find
free range, but ! don't think they ever
went ten rods from the buildings.
When killed they we're between six
aud seven monthsof age. and the dressed
weight Of the eighty was ,266 pounds.

Says the Cultivator: young colts
should be weaned while they can get a
bite of fresh grass, or at least before cold
weather sets in. They should also have
some extra care and feed during the
first winter. Better stint the elder
horses in their grain ration than likely

stinted then it will never prove as val

String-halt is a nervous disorder for
which no remedy has been found. It is
akin in its origin to somewhat similar
but more aggravated disease known as
chorea, or st. Vitus's dance. This is
treated by tonics, such as sulphate of
iron and cascarilla bark in dram doses
long continued: and it is possible that
this might have beneficial result in
q string halt; but experience does not
hold out any hope of it.

Ohapter on Old Maids

c. E. B. writes to New York Tribune;
"rhe letter from that non-happy old
Mid that appeared in the Home Inter
ests column last spring interested me a
great deal; cause why, I stand up in
that class myself and have learned out
how to meet some of its problems.
Doubtless one reason why it is hard to
be successful old maid is because there
are so few good examples to form
one's'self upon; and secondly, there is
not much literature on the bright side
of tie subject. If we could only have
the inspiration of perfectly glorious
old maid it would tighten up the whole
country for miles around; or if we could
have first-rate novel in which the he
roine doesn't fall in love; or some
practical setting-forth of what
unmarried women have done,
l am sure it would be comforting reading
to noble army Of old maids. These are
some of the things that I have found
out: All the nice, loveable women do
not marry, or even have an affair of the
heart" 1 know good many euch, and
they are among the happiest and most
useful women that know. All the Wo-
men that marry are not happy, nor, do
they get anything out Of the discipline
of witehooa and motherhood to elevate
their characters or refine their natures.
Il do not believe one gets any more out
of marriage than one puts into it, And
lastly, it could not have been designed
that all women should marry, since in
all civilized countries there are more
women than men. Just as if a hi Oh ciyi.
lizdtion positively required old maids;
that is, women free to devote themselves
to the general good! And what a field
there is for such women! They. are the
natural leaders Of social reforms.
There are good many unmarried
women in this country at present
the fragment of that generation that
fell in the war. "A million men dead on
the field meant a million of women left
to ill unusual places. God never made
such a mistak e as to leave half a genera

accomplish political reform, perhaps
He needs million of lives to carry on
