4 Cheap Hen House.

Tho American Rural Home.
A cheap hen house is one which can
be built without the outlay OF much
cash or time, but then it may still be
a very dear one, il it does not provide
for the comfort of the fowls, keeping
them free from dampness and draught,
and comfortably sheltering them.
Many an expensive henhouse has been
built which is very pretty to look at,
but which is deficient in comfort, style
being secured at the expense OF thereal
desirable qualities which can be secur'
ed at far less expenditure OF money:
Common, rough lumber, when treated
to whitewash, makes very pre-
sentable house, while posts can be
planted to frame the building to, thus
saving the not uncomfortable expense
OF making regular frame by mortis-
ing and tennoning the regularly
sawed lumber. This Is an item
well worth remembering, esps-
cially as the majority of our
poultry breeders cannot always spare
o round sum in cash to erect what
some term a model house. BY select
ing a site for the house where the
ground is high, or by filling in the
house for several inches with sand or
gravel, to secure the same advantage,
board floor can be dispensed with,
still further lessening the cash outlay,
while, to still further cheaper the
building, erect alean-to against anoth-
err and larger building, the backend or
side OF the larger building being the
back of the smaller one.

A Confederate Clergyman's Di-

While General Sherman was chat

OF the South during the war. The old

stood it a few days, and then issu-
ed a general order requiring exercises
to be held in the churches on Sunday.
1.-The day after the order was pro-
mulgated | was waited upon at my
headquarters by clergyman, who
announced himself as the Rev. Mr.,
of the Episcopal Church of that
city. He was got up in the
highest style of clerical garb, and his
face wore the expression of a
predetermined martyr. l said: sit
down: | am very glad to see you.
What do you want? What can | do
tor you? He answred: General,
have seen your order about opening
the churches on Sunday, and l am a
good deal embarrassed to know how
to obey it, or how to state my objec-
tions.' / replied: There is no en-
barrassment in obeying an oder, and
as far as objections, i don't care to
hear them. You obey the order, and
never mind your objections He re-
piled: But, General, you are aware
that since our unhappy Civil War
commenced the ritual of the Episco-
palian Church South has undergone
a material change Has it?' said /;
Il havenot noted it. He said: we
are now directed by our church to
pray for the Hon. Jefferson Davis,
President of the Confederate States,
and OF course | am enthusiastically
compelled to obey the directions OF
the Church, and he Looked at ME with
the expression OF q martyr about to
be taken to the stake and burned alive.
l regarded him a moment and then
said: oh, never mind; pray for Davis
pray for him just as hard as you
can. He needs every prayer you can
get off. But, my friend, | am dread
fully afraid praying won't do him any
good; he has gone up He looked
curiously at me and then said: Will
you require me to pray for Abraham
Lincoln as President of the United
States?' BY no means, my dear fel-
low, said /. Let him alone. He don't
need any prayers. Abrahm Lincoln
is just as sure of salvation as any
man who has ever died or ever will
die
Next Sunday morning it occurred
to me would go to this church of his
and see how he got on. Services had
just begun when went in, but l took
my seat where l could have a good
view OF him and he me- He saw me
before got hall way down the aisle
He went on with the service, and when
he arrived at the point of conflict be-
tween the Episcopal Church South
and the order OF Sherman, with one
eye on the prayer book and the other
eye on me, he prayed for all in au.
thority over us, left out Davis, and
let Lincoln alone"

The 0id-Fashioued Garden.

The Michigan Horticulturist pub
fishes the following exquisite reminis-
cence from Mrs. f. f. tombstone:
But the garden from which the
whole family may gain the purest de-
light, in which they will teel the most
interest and take the most pride, is
the old-fashioned one, the fashion of
which came with the Puritans from
Old England, and fingers in New Eng.
land yet. 1t is that in which year
after year fruits and flowers meet and
mingle, where spade and hoe and hand
weeder give the culture, and rectan-
gular beds and trim pathways abound.
Such garden is fair to see. l have
such one in mind now, where beds
of sweet marjory and thyme flanked
cohorts OF onions, stiff and rigid in
their green liveries pinked ont with
white; where the cranberry bean, ten
derby cherished because its seed was
brought from "Old Vermont" Haunt.
ed its motley pods above the scarlet
peoples whose brilliance sbamed
them, and tomato plants iostled York
and Lancaster roses; where double
rows of peas hung blossom bannerets
and plethoric pods o yer brush for
est, aud Sweet William and sweeter
plnks, and purple columbine and iris
mingled in charming confusion. A
wandering raspberry bush clutched
you, morning glory vine swung
chime of dewey bells from sunfower
tower, and the housewives pale green
hop clusters treasured golden grains
OF Iupulin among the wreaths of foli-
age that wound among the white pal
ings. There was room for the grand
sire's dwarfpear trees, and for the seed
lings of the peach pits the lad plant
ed. No weed seeds ever ripened there,
and the land laughed with a harvest
till a black frost brought desolation.
1t was garden of delights, full OF sur
prises; ever new, ever charming.
And such garden is to the house
hold more than mere purveyor OF
food. 1t feeds our love OF beauty by
its fair young flowers, its tender green's,
its reproductions and renewals. Here
in the spring we see how Earth's slow
pulse thrills under sun and rain and
's Every clod feels a stir of might
And climbs to a soulin grass and flowers"
Here we find the aesthetics of horti-
culture, for here, the busy woman, her
thoughts intent upon what Owen Meri-
dith calls
Hour OF all hours, most blessed upon
earth,
Blessed hour OF our dinner"
yet pauses among its beauty and fra
GRANGE to rest a moment, and least
her eyes; and goes back to her kitchen
strengthened by the reviving influence
OF nature. Into this ideal garden the
observant man takes his microscope
and prizes into natures secrets as un-
der the magic glass he counts the pet
ais of close folded blossom buds, dis
Germs grape clusters within the warm,
resinors, eider-down blanket tucked
about them, and even counts the
grapes upon the cluster. After all, in
spite OF all they tell US of its multiply
ing insects, its laborious culture, its
demands on time and muscle, we feel
that its continuity is its charm, that
the old-fashioned garden is the garden

The American Rural Home.
This is one OF the very best things
to give either young or old fowls.
Most every breeder has tested its value
and recommends it as a wholesome
and nutritious diet, naturally adapted
for young chicks and poultry. On
every farm AID in almost all suburban
homes milk is fed to pigs; this is one
way to utilize it; but il farmers paid
more attention to their poultry stock
than they do, they would find that
they could turn it to better account
by feeding it to their chicks and lay
ing hens. All kinds OF poultry are
fond of milk. Although they soon
become satiated if fed exclusive
ly on grain, animal, veget able or
or insect food, they seldom refuse milk
in any form; fresh or sour, it makes
no difference to them. Nowadays
milk enters largely into the bill off are
for chicks and fowls. Poultry breed
ers have found out that it contains
properties beneficial to their health
and early development. Almost their
first food land with many the first
after the yolk is assimilated), it's
soothing and nutritive effect is appar-
eat, and if mixed with stale bread
crumbs nothing is better. Now, for
laying hens, milk is nourishing and in
duces laying. Where it can be spared
it is more valuable to the poultry
stock than to any other. II farmers
would give it fair trial, and lay aside
tho fogy notions of their ancestors
and look at things in new light, they
would abandon the practice OF feeding
their spare milk to pigs and give it to
better paying stock.

The Morning Bath.

herald OF deaith.
The cold or tepid sponge bath, taken
in the morning before breakfast, with
friction to make the skin red, is one of
the most health giving actions we
know. 1t promotes healthy circula-
ton to the skin and all organs of the
body, and keeps them in good condi.
ton and healthy in appearance.
Some persons cannot indulge in such
a morning tub" by reason of pecul.
iarity of constitution or from liver
affections, and are unable to take the
bath quite cold. II should, then,
have just the chill taken of; but the
skin should, in all instances immedi.
ately after the bath. be thoroughly
dried and rubbed with a moderate
coarse linen towel. No soap is used
to this bath, and it is good plan to
have warm bath about the temper
allure of 920 F., once a week. The
brain is invigorated by the bath from
the healthful stimulation OF the
nerves. If the person is not very
strong, and the reaction is not perfect
glass OF very hot water taken after
the bath will prevent chill.
