should want to see my future wife
among her brothers and sisters. You
can't get to know girl well enough for
true marrying basis if you only see
her dressed up in the parlOr. Ii she
and her mother are mutual cOntidants
and advisors; if her brothers go to their
elder sister with all their little plans
and scrapes, sure of kindly interest,
your heart will be safe in her keeping.
But if her father stands in awe of her
because she has just returned from
boarding school; if she let's her mother
do all the hard work to keep her hands
nice; if her sisters are "nuisances." and
her brothers troublesome" don't let
rosy cheeks or fair face, or dimples, or
bright eyes entIce you into asking the
the fatal question. There will come
time when all these evaneScent charms
will have vanished.-EX.
Among the trainers and breeders who
have conferred such benefits of late
years upon the civilized world by in
creasing the efficiency of horses the
proposition that an infusion of thorough
bred racing blood tends to improve
trOtting stock has long been a matter
for argument. The wonderful mile IN
21015 bv the three-year-old filly SunOI,
at San Francisco, furnishes fresh IL
luStratiOn for the advocates of the
system of breeding from thOrOughbreds.

breeders from pure trOtting stock have
finals of great speed and endurance.
While this method may not result in so
many phenomenal trOtters, it brings
about high average of speed.
1t will cost but tritle to use ordinary
building paper in the stable. AS it can
be fastened to the walls in very short
time. it should be used especially on the
north side. 1t is usually fastened on
the inside of the walls, and Leld in
place with plastering-lath, which are
nailed over the paper, the laJh being
two feet apart. Paper is an excellent
non-cOnductOr of heat, and serves adj
mirably in keeping out the draughtS.
1t should be used in all stables that are
not closely built and warm.
A ram sheared by Mr.. Turner, Ulce-
by. England, gave fleece of thirty
pounds and a half. Our foreign con-
temporary, Sheep and Wool, speaks of
this as probably the heaviest clean
fleece OH record. Our British Isle
friends have evidently never heard of
which have weighed from thirty to fifty
two pounds-the latter being the heavi-
este record for years growth.

which is true if the salt is given in
large quantities; but recent expert
ments prove that salt is necessary, to a
limited extent, as hens will lay more
eggs and remain in good condition by
allowing salt than If it is withheld en-
tirely. The proper mode of giving salt
to poultry is by seasoning the soft food
allowed the hens.
In feeding wheat. corn, oats. buck
wheat or other cereal grain, throw it
down in the litter of the poultry house,
cover it up, and thus make the hens
work for their living. The exercise
thereby gained is an important factor to
prolific egg production. Don't compel
the young chickens to take TO the roosts
until they are fully developed.
Cr0wding hundred chickens In a
coop that holds only fifty, without food
and water, may save an item of expense
so far as cOopS are concerned, but it
causes loss when the fowls reach the
market in bad condition. Quality takes
in not only the fowls as an article, but
the condition, neatness, attfactiveness
and difference from that already in
stock and for sale.
Bran is considered one of the best
foods for all classes OF ST. ok, and it is
rich with phosphates. 1t is very i'm
perfect food, however, when fed in
place of grain entirely, but when given
in connection with hay and ground
grain it largely adds to the value of the
whole, and assists to make the ration
more complete in the elements of
growth and production.
To keep celery we'll during the win
