Don't Kill the Old Hens.

When hens shedding feathers they often stop
laying and grow fat. Most people consider fat a
sign of health. The fattening of moulting hens
however with people produces debility
rather than health Many of the worst cases OF
roup are contracted, while the hens are mouting.
The food of moulting hens, if largely vegetable
is fat forming, and not required for growing feath-
ers. Therefor corn-fed hens get very fat. They
need more nitrogen and phosphate elements in
their food when mouting which if not supplied
they stop laying, because the growing feathers have
used all, and left no heterogeneous matter to form
eggs. At this season, killing old hens and relying
on young pullets is "a great mistake; where people
have few hens and late pullets. Because, if prop
erly fed the hens will have their new plumage and
lay all winter; while the pulets unless specially
treated may commence laying until spring, when
high prices for eggs have fallen one-half Again
an old hens egg will hatch a more vigorous chick
en- than pullet's egg.
John R. Jones, Sufield, Conn. a breeder of prize
winning notified Javas, says:

The above is the experience of many people in
using Sheridan's Powder. Ii fed to your pullets

months old. Commence at once using Sheridan's
Powder. 1t helps old hens through noulting, and

The believing soul is risen with
Christ, inasmuch as our union with
him makes us partakers of his resur-
rection as our victory over death.
The water IN the reservoir and in the
fountain is the same; the sunbeam

one. The life which flows into our
spirits from Christ is a life that has
conquered death and makes us VIC

we have to go down into the darkness.

Corn and Cob Meal

In his experience in feeding cattle
at the Kansas College Farm Prof.
Shelton says: ga considerable gem
eral experience in the use of corn
and cob meal as feed for herd of
sixty odd head of neat cattle has
greatly strengthened not only the
writer but those having the practical
management of the herd in the con-
viction of the superior value of corn
and cob meal. The corn and cob
meal was, apparently at least, better
digested than was the clear corn
alone when used. 1t was eaten GER
tainly with as great relish, the
cattle were soff their feed less often,
while cases of diarrhea caused by
overfeeding-all too common when
corn meal was used-were practi-
cally unknown when the grain feed
was the ground ear corn"
A Brooklyn horse-car company
feeding over 1000 horses gives its
methods, which it claims to be the
best in long experience with feed
ing horses: ssThe regular meals of
the horses consists of corn and oats
in winter one part of the oats to four
of corn, and in summer equal parts
of each. This feed is bought in the
grain and ground on the premises.
The average consumption by each
animal is fifteen pounds of meal and
nine pounds of hay a day"
The hay is prepared in cutting
box and mixed with the meal, which
is moistened so as to stick to the
hay, and thus fed together. With
such feeding the company reports
that it has not had case of collie
among its l 400 horses in a year or
more and that they thrive and other
wise do better on this ration than
upon any other that it has tried.
The danger of feeding horses meal
alone is well known to experienced
feeders, Thus fed it cakes in plas-

AIRING THE CELLAR-When a cool
cellar is aired on warm day, the
entering air being in motion appears
cool, but as it fills the cellar the
cooler air with which it becomes
mixed chills 1T, the moisture is con-
densed, and dew is deposited on the
cold walls and may often be seen
running down them IN streams. Then
the cellar is damp and soon becomes
moldy. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night-the
last thing before retiring. There is
no need to fear that the night air is
unhealthful it is as pure as the air
at midday, and is really drier. The
windows should be closed before
sunrise in the morning and kept
closed and shaded through the day.
If the air of the cellar is damp il
may be thoroughly dried by placing
in it peck of fresh lime in an open
box. A peck of fresh lime will alb
sorb about seven pounds or more
than three quarts of water, and in
this way cellar or milk room may
soon be dried, even in the hottest
weather.

Damp Beds.

A respectable proportion of the
deaths that occur during the winter
season are either directly or Indirect
ly due to sleeping in damp beds. AS

in his bedroom. If this be impracti-
cable, he wraps his cloak around him,
or pulls out the sheets and sleeps be-

but often prudent, expedient. The
direct mischief may result from the
contact of an imperfectly heated
body with sheets which retain mois-
ture. The body heat is not sufficient
to raise the temperature of the sheets
to safe point, and the result must

Little Things.

Human character is much like a
building in which brick is placed on
brick. This is why the first ten years
of life are so vital. What is it that
will keep a man firm in the hour of
temptation? Not his belief, not his
intelligence, but the simple rules he
was taught and retaught at his moth
er's knee, and which have so entered
the very fibre of bis nature as to gov
him unconsciously. We are confused
by the magnitude of life and the bulk
of what lies about us. Who, in con-
templating the change steam wrought
in the world, thinks of the big-headed
little boy watching his grandmother
tea-kettle, or remembers, as he looks
over the threshold of the as yet little
known domain, electricity, the kite
by which it was first drawn from the
skies. So with great characters.
Analyze them, and you come to vital
little things. Wellington would new
er have saved the growth and civil
zation of Europe at the battle of
Waterloo had not his bulldog obsti-
macy riveted him to the ground until
Butcher came. 1t is easy to pray,
but we grow tired at the persistent
practice. 1t is easy to speak well of
the dead, yet neglect the cheering,
helpful word to the living easy to
spend forty-six weeks in round of
pleasure and gay excitement, and
then keep Lent the remaining SIX,
even though it be not the travesty we
find it here, but like that of the Mo-
hammedans, who literally fast forty
days. 1t is the little thing that makes
homes happy, lives wretched. The
little thing which more than any 9th
er makes a church is your punctilious
attendance. 1t is your belief that
you have an engagement with your
minister here on Sundays that enables
him to speak to you week after week.
1t is the habitual kindness, patience,
respect, generosity we show others
that weigh more than the Pyramids,
or have more influence than all the
learning of the universities. These
will be remembered when everything
else fades. 1t is not as the builder
of an art gallery or the founder of
the Louise Home that Corcoran will
live in the hearts of those who knew
him, but by his daily little acts of
generous kindness. The hardest thing
in the world is the everyday. Most
men can fight battle shoulder to
shoulder, amid the sound of trumpet
and drum; but after the battle, when
| each is alone, we see who is the hero.
1t is not the great peril or crisis of
nations that tempt us to answer,
care not ALBANIA and Pharpar better
than all this" but the demands of
every day calling to us? $50 wash

daily command, we find the quintes-

Hints About the House.

1t does not profit much to make a
fortune if the maker has to go to the
insane asylum.
Ammonia and water is recommend
ed as a wash for marble instead of
soap suds.
Young veal may be told by the
bone in the outlet. If it is very
small the veal is not good.
Papered walls are cleaned by WHIP
ed down by flannel cloth tied over
a broom or brush.
A wineglass of strong borax water
in a pint of raw starch will make
collars and cuffs stiff and glossy.
Try keeping all fruit in a covered
chest or trunk down cellar, if you
have no enclosed cupboard there.
Wrap glass jars of fruit in news
papers and put them away IN dark
cool place. 1t prevents the fruit
from bleaching.
The flames from kerosene cannot
be extinguished with water, but
-four thrown profusely upon them
will smother them, or large wooden
rug or cloth will help stife them.
Equal parts of ammonia and tur-
pentine will take paint out of cloth
ing, no matter how dry or hard it
may DE. Saturate the spot two or
three times, then wash out in soap
suds.
Clean oil cloth with a wet towel
pinned over stiff broom, and rub
with long, sweeping strokes. Mat
ting should be washed with strong
salt water and a clean cloth and do
it if possible at midday to insure
quick drying, which prevents dis
coloration.
To brighten a Brussels, or any
carpet that is faded, sponge in a
mixture of one part OK gall to two
parts water. This is excellent. A
lady recently bought much faded
carpet (Brussels), at a secondhand
store, and restored it to almost its
original beauty in this way.

When housewife is cramped for

it will lift up like trunk. Place a

be kept looking nice for long time.
1t is a mistake to use soap on this
