weeds.
Give the little girls a plot for a
flower-garden. provide them all the
seeds and plants they desire. and let
them enjoy themselves with the out
door work. 1t will greatly promote
their health and also create an inter-
est IN other dire ctions on the farm.
As kerosene has been found ex-
celent when used in the soap-suds
for washing, care should be taken not

An exchange says: when wish
to capture a fowl | take my crook and
a sack. throw down bis of feed. and
while they are scrambling over it |
quietly pull in and sack the one |
want. The thing is done before the
flock realize that l have made a mo-
ton. and the bird is so astonished that
it rarely utters a sound. For cutting
out or separating flock of poultry it
is almost Indispensable. Get the fl ok
in small yard or shed, and instead
of plunging or diving among them
and frightenii 2 them into fits, move
quietly about and hook tut those you
want. My crook is five and one-half
feet long and made of wire nearly
one-fourth of an inch thick"
