EGGS IN WINTER.

Leaves from the Experience of Sue
cessfui Lady Poultry Keeper.
Let me tell you how TO have eggs
all winter. if you have young hens of
any good laying breed, or rather, l
will tell you how l have them and you
NAV do likewise. We have comfort
able. but very cheap hen-house packed
with straw around three sides. The
south side or front is left clear for
door, and a window made by placing
four sashes containing six lights of
eight by ten glass in row. The
perches are opposite the windows and
nests underneath.
For feed L give the hens plenty of
before giving it to them. l keep q
large stove kettle especially for the
purpose and cook all the turnip and
potato pealings. and throw into it all the
table scraps and scraping of the pots
and kettles. Once q day, early in the
morning, / fill the kettle nearly full of
milk, and after heating 1t hot, thicken
it with meal or bran, whichever to
have. and two or three times Il week l
stir into it a heaping teaspoonful of
black pepper. If did not have milk
l should use water and mix scraps of
meat and lard ''crac kings" with it,
The hens gather round me when take
this steaming kettle of feed to them so
/ can scarcely get room to pour it into
their feed pans. | feed oats d good
deal but never dry. l pour over
bucket half full of oats. enough milk
to swell them. and let them soak sew
eral hours. generally from one feed to
the next The milk will be absorbed
and there will be no danger of the oats
swelling in the crop.
At butchering time, 1 boil the livers.

left, in large kettle outdoor; sailing
slightly and throwing in red pepper
or two, and feed it out rs | need it.
two or three times week. OF course
my hens get more or less corn, but l
make it my special care to see to the
milk all the time. and warm feed
once a day. / have fresh eggs all
winter, and when they bring twenty
five cents dozen one feels we'll repaid
for the trouble. We do not keep the
hens shut up all the time, only in very
cold. stormy weather, and on bright
days they range on the farm. Mrs

GREAT LUCK.
Good Fortune that Came by Chance and
Business Sagacity.

Good Fortune that Came by Chance and
Business Sagacity.
One can not help being struck with the
important part the element of chance plays
in the history of most men who acquire
great fortunes.
1t is peculiarly illustrated in the career Of
Thomas 81. Williams, California six-mill-
ionaire. He went from Kentucky to the
Pacific slope in 1870, and settled in Virginia
City. AS attorney for mining company,
ne acquired a claim against it for 81, 500 for
services, and when the company failed he
Did in its mine for the amount of his claim.
He moved to San Francisco, years rolled
IN and the transaction had passed from his
mind, when he was one day approached by
! representative of Flood, Mackay &
O'Brien, who offered him 100000 for his
long forgotten mine
He was not a greenhorn and he at once
refused the Offer. as he did successive
offers of $3.50, 900 and 100000. But when a
member of the great firm came to see him
with protfers of negotiation, they were not
rejected and resulted in the reception of
The firms check for s6,0O0,000.
It was great piece of luck, but the luck
was supplemented by keen business saga
city.
In April, 1887, Charles W. Sprague, an
orange grower at Chaseville, Fla, was "
ing in bed, suffering the ''torments of the
cursed" with disease OF the kidneys, with
which he had been troubled for two years.
he had been under the treatment of an
eminent physician but kept growing worse.
One day When, as he says, seven hope itself
1ad become inanimate,' a casual acquaint-
ance happened in and advised the trial of
Warmers safe cure.
