Destroy Weeds When Small.

Weeds may be a blessing, but it is
only when they force US to give
thorough cultivation that we might not
otherwise bestow. We should not wait
until the weeds press us to cultivate.
Thorough plowing and narrowing the
ground until it is in fine condition not
only makes the work Of planting,
easier. but it enables us to begin cult
walton early. and to do more thorough
work. In finely pulverized soil the
plow can run closer to the plants, more
completely destroying the weeds,
which are much easier killed while
they are small. Thoroughly destroy
ing the weeds at the first two cultiva-
tons makes the subsequent work COM
paratively easy, and gives the young
plants chance to outgrow the weeds.
Small weeds can easily be destroyed by
means Of the harrow or hand rake, Il
the work is done soon after they come

When clouds hang threatening, wild and dar
No moaning winds strike frozen sailA
And anchored Is the weary bark.
The vessel Hes at tranquil rest,
Secure against the tempest blow,
With peaceful waters round her breast
And dreamy sunshine in Its flow.
And SO the grave receives the form

Where comes no cloud nor furious storm.
And hearts from trials are released.
No winds disturb this quiet port;
No thunder jars this calm retreat;

Here Anger never deals strokes
Here Envy never stabs with hate;
Oppression brings no CALLING yoke;
Ambition breaks no hindering gate,
Here Guilt comes not with ashen fears;
Here Pride struts not with naughty eyes;
No Sorrow bends with scaldng tears,
No Hardship prays for smiling skies.
Here rest the wealthy and the poor;
Here sleep the humble and the great;
Those who have knelt on cottage floor,
Those who have shone in royal state.
Here come the mighty and the weak;
Here drop the towering and the small;
White rivers flow and planets speak,

CLEAR COMPLEXION,
Few Uninjurious Ways in Which Ladies
Can Secure 1t.


1t has long been an established fact
that spring winds are harmful to the
complexion, and those wishing to pre-
serve such should never 90 abroad
without wearing over the face a thin
gauze veil Do not bathe the skin in
warm water Immediately before going
out into the air, as this opens the pores,
giving to the wind opportunity of chap
ping the skin, making it rough and
disagreeable. Though many women
use both warm and cold water for the
face, going out in all kinds of weather
utterly regardless of the effects it may
have on the complexion. nevertheless,
a clear, soft skin is something to be de-
sired by all. Few cosmetics are entire
ly harmless, therefore the safest way is
to avoid using any of them.
Oatmeal soaked over night until 1t is
of the consistency of glue, and applied
to the face aid worked thoroughly in,
has been used by many successfully.
A small bag of bran left over night in
the same way is also excellent for soft
ening the skin.
A light busting baby powder, which
has been stated on good authority does
not injure the skin, but, on the con-
trary. projects the pores from absorb
ing foreign matter. may be used to al
lay the irritation usually attendant on
coming in from biting wind. Many
women use cold cream or vaselne at
night, rubbing it well into the skin,
which, it is said, retnes the grain.
This for the best results should be ap-
piled after a warm bath.
An excellent receipt for improving
the complexion, particularly if the skin
is coarse. is the following: Take flow
ers Of sulphur and mix in little milk;
let it stand for an hour or two; rub the
milk into the skin without disturbing
the sulphur. 1t will clear and soften
the skin wonderfully. Another simple
method for clearing the complexion,
which is within the reach of all, though
it would not be advisable to try it un-
I'll the warm weather. is: Make mask |
Of cotton batting, cutting out places
for eyes and mouth; on retiring for the
night thoroughly dampen it in cold
water, and fasten on the face with tapes
sewed on both sides, so as to tie behind.
In the morning it will be found to be
perfectly dry, the skin having absorbed
he moisture. This, being perfectly
when used in warm weather
md persisted in for some time, will
make the skin smooth and soft. 1t is
particularly applicable to dry, hard
kin. These are few Of the uninjurious

HOUSES FOR POULTRY,


The Necessity of Guarding Against Damn
Floors and Crowded Quarters.
In building poultry houses of course
the hrst thing to be done is to select =
location, and this is indeed a very I'M
portant part Of the work, as a great
deal depends on it afterwards.
The principal part to observe, in Sc
lecting the spot, is to have it dry and
well drained, so that there will never
be any standing water near the house
or yards. or dampneSs of any kind, as
this is very disastrous to the health of
the fowls.
| A damp floor in the hen house is the
prime cause of the very disagreeable
disease of roup, which, being conta-
gious, is very hard to break up and sue
! cessfully eradicate after it once gets a
firm start and is well established in the
flock. =
None Of the common breeds of fowls
are fond OF water or the application of
any thing damp to their skin, and they
generally avoid moisture as much as
they possibly can. The best location
for their house is a well-drained sandy
spot This is. however, sometimes I'M
possible to obtain. and in such cases
the breeder should elevate the SPOT
where the house is to be built. by filing
In with sand or sandy soil, which can
generally be obtained with but very lit.
tie trouble.
This artificial draining should always
be practiced by breeders who have but
little choice of selection. but have to
take what they have on account Of
small quarters, and are tied down to the
space immediately adjacent to their
dwellings. BY thus elevating the spot
the quarters will be made healthy for
the fowls, and the difference in the re.
suits will amply pay for the extra trou-
bic occasioned.
Crowding the fowls in quarters that
are too small for them also has n teu-
dency to the same disorders that are
caused by dampness, as they generally

tend to this carefully, for there is MOTH
ing more conducive to disease and gem
eral disorder among fowls than the
damp quarters in which they are COM
PEELED to pass their time, and of course
without good health they can never be
made profitable and desirable TO Keep.

There are many considerations to
be thought Of and decided upon when
you intend to keep fowls for market
and laying eggs. Those that are pro-
life and will put on fat kindly and
make good eating when slaughtered,
are the kinds you want. t.-Ameracan

The Black Dorset pig has been intro
duced in this country. They have
small, stocky heads, short noses. are
heavily jointed, the necks are short;
the legs, set under compact, closely
made bodies, are short and strong.
They are said to be hearty and fatten
readily.
Saving Steps.-It costs nothing to
keep broom and dustpan and saves
time to have two or three, one for the
kitchen use, one for the sitting-room,
and one to sweep feet in winter. There
should always be a set place for these
and each member of the family re-
quired to keep them there. Shears are
needed many times during the day,
and pair should be in every room,
also coarse needle and thread. A
good pincushion will always find Gus

KlOA ISLANDERS
A Little World in Strange Contrast to the
Busy Life of This Century.

/
| Busy Life of This Century.
In these days of railroads and tele-
graphs it seems impossible that any
civilized people can be cut off from
newspapers and post-offices. But the
little island Of Kilda, north of Scotland,
has regular communication with the
mainland only once year The agent
Of the owner visits the island once a
year to collect rents, and carries with
him package Of letters and newspa-
pers. There are now only six families
on the island, composed Of seventy
three persons, and the number is grad
ually diminishing. Their fare is made
up of barley bread, eggs and sea-birds.
Fish abound in the waters, but the
islanders do not like them as food, and
catch them only for sale. They weave
rough clothing and blankets, and sell
them to pay rent. In the summer they
cultivate gardens, collect birds and
eggs for winter stores, and fish for
trade. But these poor people, while
fighting hard battle for life, are con-
tented with their lot. Crime and in
temperance are unknown among them,
and courts are never held. All the
adults are members of the Church of
Scotland, and know large part Of the |
Bible by heart. A minister resides |
among them, and holds regular service
on Sunday and during the week. This
little world is in strange contrast to the
busy life Of the nineteenth century,
