| Somebody once said "he didn't
mind a plain dinner if there were
Roses on the table," He was right.
A Gala in bloom will make the barest
room beautiful. Flowers help us over
many rough places in life. There
should be plants In every sunny win
dow; there should be flowers. or, at
least, something fresh and green on
the table three times day every day
in the year. Leave out the cake, but
have some flowers. Better Rose bud
before the guests plate than Welsh
rarebit or the richest gravy-better
for all concerned. Did you ever take
some flowers to a sick-room or hospi-
tai? It's the greatest pleasure ever
invented. Try it and see. Here, a
boy reading this says, "Oh, that's for
girls" Wait little, my man, and
we shall see you spending all your
spare change for button hole bouquets
and sending Roses to your friend on
her birthday. Then you'll wish you
knew all about it. Then you'll wish
you knew what In the world she
meant when she said she preferred
Catherine Mermet to Jacks. You
may wish you were not such a Jack
yourself not to know the difference.
Of all the flowers in the world
those we raise ourselves are the mest
beautiful. A spray Of Mignonette
from your own garden, or truss of
Geranium from the old raisin- box in
the kitchen window are worth more
than the finest Mermets at dollar a
bud. Any friend you give them to
will tell you so.-Chsrles Barnard. In
Our Youth.

presence of cocks than with them,
and as soon as the chicks are hatched.
and no more are desired, remove all

is that the eggs from hens not with
