nish ample room for two dozen fowls if
fitted up with properly arranged roosting
poles (of which part should be low for
heavy fowls and sufficient supply Of
nest boxes. The building should be
juss high enough for getting aroand in
comfortably, and should face the south
and that front should be of glass down
to within eighteen inches of the floor.
Here the nest boxes should be placed,
out of the direct sunlight, and should be
as secluded as they can well be. In this
way the fowls will not only have ample
light, but will get the warmth of the
sun through the glass the good effects Of
which will appear in an increased num-
Der of eggs at time of the year when
they are the most valuable.
An earthern floor is the best, but if it
is necessary to keep out rats, make it OF
concrete. With a hen-house plastered
on the inside and with thick walls, the
temperature will be such as to induce
laying earlier and more literally than in
a cold room subject to draughts through
crevices from the outside. A dust bath
is one of the hens necessities, and if the
dust-box is in the house the effect on
everything is disagreeable. For this
reason it should be in q small covered
annex to the house, or else should be
under cover in corner of the run, and
should be kept well supplied with dry
road dust or fine sifted ashes. If the
house is kept clean they will
keep themselves free from vermin, but if
lice infest the house it can be quickly
cleared of them by fumigating it with
sulphur or burning the green leaves of
pine, spruce or any of the evergreens, so
as to fill the room with a dense smoke
for an hour or so. Spraying it occasion
ally with kerosene will have the same ef-
feet. Gravel, ground or broken shells
and bones, and miscellaneous food with
meat scraps, when insects cannot be had,
should be furnished regularly, with
constant supply of pure water.-NeU

What Vegetables to Grow.

Now is a good time to think over what
vegetables to sow and plant the coming
year; and having decided, to get from
good, reliable seedsmen the seeds likely
to be required. If this is left to sowing
time, the chances are the seeds will be
obtained from some grocery store, the
stock of which is put up for this partic-
ular trade. and all that is not sold re-
in too many instances, re-
Jar after year. Such crops as
:. kss parsnips, carrots, turni ips
and .geofSe readily be grown as among
the field crops, and be subject mainly to
the same treatmcnt-that is, everything
about them can be so managed as to be
done with the horse cultivator.
Besides these crops, there should be
spot of garden ground to grow the sum-
mer vegetables, and such as will want
trile more care in the way of hand
wedding and so on. A spot for this
need not be very large. An acre of land
will be ample and may contain the
strawberry patch, and those of other
small fruits, except in very large estab-
lishments. Such a garden should have
an asparagus and rhubarb patch. also.
Early in the spring, have, first, radishes
and lettuce and green onions, one of the
very earliest products and much liked by
workmen. Young bcets are an early
vegetable and may be simply the thin
ming of the regular crop. This is true
also of other root crops. Peas and beans,
both French and Lima should not be
forgotten. Early and late cabbage, with
few dozen of caulihower, are good
changes in this line. Germans want to
add kohl-rabi, or turnip-rooted cabbage,
and when just right they are good eating
for anybody.
Tomatoes, egg-plants and peppers will
require hot-bed to bring forward. Only
few plants are, however, required,
and, if not grown, can be purchased.
For celery, pinch of seed sown in
April will give all the plants required.
A piece of land should be selected,
rather sandy if possible, for the melon
patch, few hills of cucumbers and half
a-dozen of the squash family. These,
with a spot still more sacred by itself
for the pot-hcrbs to flavor the soups and
other dishes, would make tolerably
good supply for an ordinary farm fam
ily.-Pruirie Farmer.

A Muscular I0cksmith.

The renowned "Muskelmann" Of
Dresden ought to have place in Mr..
Oscar Wilde's next excursus upon artists
models. A few years ago well-known
painter persuaded this remarkable man,
on account of the magnificcntly muscular
build of his body, to forsakc his own
trade, that of locksmith, and take up
the profession of "model." His fame
has become so great that he is even
called into Italy, Belgium, France and
Spain to sit to painters and sculptors.
In order to preserve for future artists an
exact duplicate of his extraordinarily
Michael Angelesque figure while he is in
the fullness of his powers the director
of the Royal Saxon Porzellanfabrik at
Meissen lately invited him to that place
in order that cast from life might be
taken of the upper part of his body.
The muscular development of the
Dresden muskelmann is so complete and
detailed that even the least and slightest
cord of every muscle stands forth
prominently "and his whole body looks, :"
as one critic says, "as if it were woven to-
gether or plated like basket work.,
His muscles have such a hardness that
they feel to the touch as if they were
carved in wood. The director of the
Nielsen factory paid him a fee of SIS
for the casting of his "torso. ."-Pau

led me, Toinette; there is not the slight

When you see how sincere is my repent

he looked so remorseful and spoke in

biding the time when a word from her lips
would sunder Philip and Dulcie forever.
She thought of little else.
She was still in the mood when, on

Nature has enabled some animals to
see objects behind them as well as IN
front without turning around. The
hare has this power in marked de-
gree. It's eyes are large, prominent,
and placed laterally. It's power of
seeing things in the rear is very
noticeable in greyhound coursing, for
though this dog is mute while running,
the hare is able to judge to a nicely
the exact moment at which it viii be
best for it to double. Horses are an
other instance. It is only necessary to
watch a horse, driven invariably with
out blinkers, to prove this. Take, for
instance, those on tramways. Let the
driver even attempt to take the whip
in hand, and if the horse is used to the
work he viii at once increase his pace.
The giraffe, which is a very tinid ami
NAL, Is approached with the utmost
difficulty, on account of its eyes being
placed so that it can see as well be
hind as In front. When approached
this same faculty enables it to direct
with great precision the rapid storm

itself.
