at the barn-yard gates. l know Of q
poultry breeder who raised from 300 to
400 large, healthy fowls on a lot with
100 feet frontage and $50 feet back
This breeder is Mrs. r. j. Raynor, now
of Fruitvale, Alabama, a woman who
has raised more winning Lang
shans than all the breeders on the Pa
cific Coast combined; not in her own
hands, but in the hands of other breed
ers. and all were raised on a city lot ON
Folsom street. 1 know Of a neighbor
Of mine who makes a comfortable living
from fowls and eggs. He
keeps from 300 to 500 fowls, and gives
them care and attention, and plenty of
oyster shells. burned bones, etc. He
always gives his fowls a change of diet,
feeding corn, bran, wheat and broom
corn. He has a fine patch of alfalfa
and g running stream of water. About
twenty-five fowls are enough in one
house, say Sx10. I keep horses, COWS
and poultry, 1 find poultry requires
no more attention than any other fine
stock, and, if given proper care and at
tention, pays we'll. But some people
think thus: well, I buy 800 hens, T
can make a living without working.
I'll buy q farm and put stock on it. L
won't have to work" This is all a mis-
take. Everything connected with farm
ing requires care and attention to make
a success of it.-Thomas Waite, in Pa
cific Rural Press.

InSlun,iup."

Stunning" the new English fad, has
much to recommend it, though it might
have a p~rettier sounding name and one
whose meaning does not seem to imply
something in the nature of an insult to
the people who are visited. Even the
Prince of Wales has been "slumine."
Most everybody knows what "slumine"
is, for the rich and wall-to-do to call
upon and help the very needy. Tho
danger is that the calling and helping
may be so done as to offend the feelings
of those calledup, but where that can be
avoided ,andit oughtnot to be impossible
to avoid it, Stunning" is not q bad
fashionable craze. Besides rendering
immediate relief where relief is much
needed, it shows the society ladies and
gentlemen how their unfortunate fellow
creatures have to live, and this is a
knowledge which will tend tc soften
their hearts when appeals are made to
them in behalf of the u~nfortunates after
Stunning" has gone out Of style. 1t
should be said, however, that fashion is
not hard to awaken to q practical inter-
est in the poor. That is not the gener-
al opinion but it is the truth, as a little
consideration will convince you. Fash
ion seldom rests from helping the poor,
and there is scarcely q fashionable lady
who has not a list Of people for whom
she regularly proyides.1Philadelphia

acottaee cheese" in others "Dutch
cheese" or s'sour curds." It is simply
the curd o sour milk drained from the
whey, moulded into small faacy shapes,
and eaten while fresh, or soon after.
The manufacture is quite simple. The
milk is allowed to become loppered,
when it is generally heated, to facilitate
separation of the whey. The curds arc
then gathered and sailed. or otherwise
to suit the taste, and pressed into small
moulds or formed with the hand into
balls or pats of suitable shape, when it
is ready for the table. In cool weather,
when the SOU milk does not readily
thicken, it may be put into a suitable
vessel, set in hot water over tho range,
and stirred afew minutes until the whey
begins to separate. 1t is then removed
and treated as before described. 1t IS
usually made from skinned milk; and
fresh butter or sweet cream is often
added to the curds while manipulating
and pressing into form. This improves
the quality and flavor for many.

The Rage for Crazy Quilts.

The particular species OF fancy work
which has lately possessed the minds
and fingers of young women IS that Of
CRAZY quilts" Somebody has de
creed that silk quilts must be made of
odd pieces, not cut in regular blocks
as our grandmotllers made patchwork
but basted on a cambria lining, helter-
SHELTER, the edges turned in and worked
over in brier-stitch or cut-stitoh IN floss.
The colors of the patches and sewing
silk are chosen hap-hazard; the GRAIL
err the effect of the work the better.
Somebody made this decree, but the
women went ever further In carrying 1T
out. Not content with+ crafty stitch
ing the odd pieces of silk together, they
now embroider every separate patch
in floss, or they decorate it with paint
ing, or they attach toit q flower cut from
brocade, like IN applique figure, and in
stead of using only brier-stitch andcut-
stitch for the joining they employed
every variety of fancy stitch, includingI
all the conceits known as South Ken
sington and Point Russo. And these
same ladies defend their practice by
saying that crazy work affords ample
room for economy, as it enables one 80
use every scrap of silk or %vlevet, how
ever small, and it exercises the taste
and ingenuity, as it gives the widest field
for the display Of originality. So they
have all taken the craze over crazy work.
When they'd do not make quilts OF it they
make tides, lambrequins, t~able.covers
and borders for other quilts. lH
But, sooner or later, this fashion
must die out. The test Of beauty is
of tenutility, and an expert needle Won
an must know that the floss raised
above the surface Of the quilt must wear
out before the silk patches will. What
then will become Of the quilt, nee the
stitches have given way? Then the
old-time patterns, already become fash
ionable again, will take On q new lease
of favor. These We're made by careful
ly cutting out the silk, basting them
over pieces of stiff paper and oyerseam-
ing them finely on the wrong side.
Among the old patterns those now
growing in popularity are the tea-box,
consisting of three diamonds, forming
a cube in perspective; the log-cabin, or
state house steps, displaying graduated
strips surrounding q central square, so
as to form as 1t were, piles of logs OF
flights of steps, and the p%atty-pan, or
group of seven hexagons, the whole eff
feet of a quilt so made being that of a
pavement of heXagonal tiles.
