BE careful of your fowls and avoid
danger. They contract cold very easily
now, especially if permitted TO rOOst
where there is a draught. Guard them
from the cold winds from the northeast.
If you do not, there may be lively time
stamping out the rOup.
By crossing Plymouth Rock cocks
with large, coarse hens, you can pro
duce an excellent chick for a market.
They grow very rapidly, have yellow legs
and skin, and always look we'll when
dressed. Remember this when you make
your mating for market.
MUCH is said about the Douglas Mix
ture. To make 1t, says the american
AgTGClLtUrlst, take one pound of sui
plate Of iron and two ounces of sui
phuric acid and dissolve in one gallon
this mixture to one gallon of drinking
water for the birds.
Pop CORN does not contain as much
fat or oily matter as yellow corn andfO
that reason the grains are considered
the best for feeding to poultry, but pop
corn is probably worth more in the
market than its value as poultry food,
and viii not be extensively used in place
of the yellow field corn.
PROMINENT American poultry breeders
are importing large numbers of white
D orkings, as we'll as fOcks of the gray
and cO1Ored DOrkings. Their excellent
market Qualities are being gradually
recognized in this country. One serious
drawback to their introduction has been
the American preference for yellow skin
and legs, which in no manner indicates
quality in a table fowl
PIGEONS are not troublesome, and af-
ford much interest to those who have
time to attend to them properly. The
fancy kinds, such as pOuters, tumblers,
fantails, barbs, owls, and carriera, may
be kept in the same loft, but they must
be mated first. This must be done by
cOnfning pair together away from the
others. After the pigeons shall have
been all mated no danger viii arise of
distinct breeds mixing.
QUITE a trade is now done in the tail
feathers of turkeys. The feathers on
the second and third joints of the wings
are also in demand. These feathers are
made into feather busters, and even the
small feathers are sometimes stripped
and applied to use in the arts. In this
age of progress nothing is lost or thrown
away, and all kinds of feathers should
be saved The commission merchant
receives them on consignment, and Will
send you full instructions in regard to
the proper mode of saving them if you
will address them. Some poultry ship
pers calculate the feathers pay the ex-

Hints on Cooking.

When we wish to extract juices from
anything we put it in cold water, and let
it gradually reach the boiling point. so
when we wish the viands to retain their
juices and use the water only as me-
dunn for cooking them the opposite
course must be pursued.
Starch enters largely into the compo-
sItlOn OF many vegetables, and on the
prevalence of this element depends the
digestibility of the vegetable. To free
this element and have 1t thoroughly in
corporate itself with the other elements
in the vegetable, a great amount of heat
IS necessary, and hence it is that all
vegetables should be put down to cook
in boiling water.
Some authorities claim that even
though the water is boiling it extracts
considerable of the starch, and there
fore considerable of the nUtritive ele-
ment, and that steam is the only agent
that should be employed in cooking
many varieties, potatoes, for instance.
There are as many opinions against as
for this method, and while it undOubt-
eddy seems probable, still equally good
results have been obtained from the
older method.
Chemists say that potatoes should al
ways be boiled in their Jackets, as there
are various elements detrimental to the
whOIesOmeness of the vegetable that are
absorbed by the skin, and the potatoes
some of these elements.
Those who are accustomed to have the
potatoes peeled before being boiled
think they have q peculiar taste if they
are boiled in their skins. OF course it
is ali the effect of Imagination, but no
amount of talking Will convince them
of that fact, so If the potatoes have to
be peeled see that quite a thick skin is
taken of, because there is very bitter
acid lodged in cells quite near the skin,
and if you must get rid of as much of
this as possible. The water, of course,
draws most of this out, but it is not as
effective as the absorbent nature has
provided.
Soft water should be used in cooking
vegetables, and the only way city folks
can soften water is to add little salt to
it. Six or eight potatoes viii need a
teaspOonfuI of salt added to the water;
turnips and parsnips require about the
same, that is, teaspOOnful of salt to a
quart of water. If any scum should
happen to rise to the surface when the
vegetables are boiling, it must be care.

The Forestry Question.


A careful weighing of q mass of evil
dence leads to the following con
illusions:
L That the destruction of forests
gradually but surely decreases the
amount of rainfall.
2. That springs and small streams al
most invariably disappear with our
forests.
3. That our large streams shrink
greatly in volume, especially with the
removal of the forests from about the
sources or head waters.
4. That the removal of forests, which
alone tend to hold and distribute water
uniformly throughout the seasons, has
brought and Will continue to bring in
an increasing ratio prOpOrtiOnate to the
rapidity OF such removal, devastating
floods upon the river valleys of our
country.
5. That since climate is intimately af-
fected by conditions of moisture, and
that timber growth absOrbs and radiates
heat, as we'll as protects from sweeping
winds, the removal of forests must ma
terially affect the climatic conditions of
the country.
6. That the forestry question being
one of great public interest andmoment,
and already being largely in the hands
of the general and State governments,
should be taken entire control of by the
same, that uniform measures may be
adopted for the protection and extension
of our forests.

Hints to Housekeepers.

REMOVE spots from furniture with
kerosene.
WHAT this country needs is more hus-
bands to keep their wives scissors and

To LAUEDER red table linen: Use
tepid water, with a little powdered
bOrax, which serves to set the color;
wash the linen separately and quickly,
using very little soap; rinse in tepid
water containing a little boiled starch;
hang out to dry in the shade, and iron
when almost dry.
