Than any of which you have sung.

OF women whose summer Is DER,
The autumn like beauty that charms US
Far more than the beauty of yore.
But this beauty II seen too rarely. The faces
of most women lose the beauty OF youth too

As To PACKING EGGs.-Fanny
Field, the wide-awake poultry writer
for the Prairie FdTmeT, emphatically
declares that all the talk about ''the
secrets of success" in packing eggs is
Just bosh. She says there are no sec
rets about it. Exclusion of air is the
main thing, and when you do that by
some means that will not affect the
taste OF the eggs, and keep them in a
coll place where the temperature is
euen, they will keep good for a reason
able length of time-as long as there is
any need OF keeping them. No one
wants to keep eggs for a gear unless for

Pleasant Valley Street Hallway Com

less furnace. Ii is contrivance by
which the fuel is automatically dumped
into the furnaces, causing regular COM
bustiOn, proper feed of air, and, it is
claimed. an economy of 20 per cent. in
fuel. Last of all. this very economy
in the burning of the fuel makes the
furnace practically smokeless. There
Will be six stokers placed in the new

ONE of the best methods of storing
the droppings is to use hogsheads, as
barrels are unhandy, and number of
them will taSe up too much room. If
the weather is cold the droppings will
need no dirt or other substance, but
they should be scattered on the ground
as soon as spring opens. No fertilizer
loses its ammonia sooner than poultry
drOppings, and for that reason they do
not give good results always. As the
hens eat n large amount of lime, gravel
etc, there is quite proportion OF silica
in the druppings, which cause them TO
become very hard and insoluble, es-
pecially if very dry, quite long time
being required for the droppings to de-
compose and become soluble after being
applied to the soil.

drays, wagons. and ploughs standing
by the fence, and hay and straw scat

objection, for when threshing barns are
near the road it Is often the case that
horse power or engine IS placed in the
road and travel obstructed for two or
three days. Barns should be from SIX
