EGGS IN WINTER.
How to Feed and Care for Chickens In
Cold Weather.

How to Feed and Care for Chickens In
Cold Weather.
To Obtain breed of fowls that are
layers the year round is the object that
many aim at. This, however, is i'm
possible, as nature requires period of
rest. There is difference in breeds,
some laying better than others during
the winter. There is little difficulty
in obtaining eggs in the summer, but
the winter eggs must be worked for,
and the chickens managed beforehand.
Fowls that have laid we'll during the
summer can not keep it up during the
fall and winter, even if well fed, but if
mence again in March or even in Feb
ruary. Do not keep fat birds during
the winter. They do not lay well and
should be killed for the table. Do not
keep birds over two or three years, as
the flesh of old birds is not the best for
food. To obtain a supply OF eggs during
the winter. the chicks should be out in
March and April, at least for the Brah-
mas and Cochins, as they should have
full season for growth. Lsghorns and
some of the smaller breeds will do in
May or early June. The Asiatics are
generally good winter layers and need
less warmth, but must be well fed and
regularly. The feed must be kept up
and varied with animal and vegetable
diet. 1t takes long time of feeding
before the eggs will come. Suspend
cabbage within easy reach; they will
know what to do with it. The supply
of water must be looked after. | gener-
ally have a piece of rusty iron in the
water, and when too cold take the chill
off by warming the water above the
stove. Any breed of hens will consume
largo quantity of feed before COM
mencing to Lay, but when once started
they will not require or take so much
grain. When laying their craving is
for animal and vegetable substances
and crushed oyster or clam shells.
Making warm stews on cold days is a
good plan and the birds like it. Take
pork and beef scraps, some onions,
corn meal and little pepper. Chop
this up fine and put in an old kettle
half fille6 with water. Give this about
two or three o'clock in the afternoon
and it will warm them from the cold at
night
Having a large shallow box of dry
earth in the hen house is also good
thing. Some prefer the Plymouth
Rocks, but /, for my part. have always
had better success with Brahmas and
Cochins, and have always succeeded in
having good supply of eggs during
the winter.-Car. Detroit Free Press

familiar with the philosophy of Kant,

silly in the extreme. The story serves
as an illustration of class that is nu-

Americans have fallen into the habit
OF talking of common things in far

had neither lot nor part in that ordin-
airy earth which can grow potatoes and

SUNDAY IN LONDON,
The Sharpness of Contrasts In Metropt
tan Life Wildly Realized.

| tan Life Wildly Realized.
| Ii one wants to realize the real sharp
ness of contrasts in London, where
horrible slums are side by side with
wealthy squares, and where the beggar
and millionaire tread the same pave
ments, one can not see it better than
by walking very few steps from the
well-dressed, middle-class decorum
assembled in S.. Georges Church,
Bloomsbury, or the fine drawn intel
lectualism of Mr.. Stopford Brooke at
Bedford chapel, into Seven Dials, on
any Sunday morning. 1t is really a
matter of some difficulty to pass along
Neal street or little Earl street. so
crowded is the whole roadway with
costermongers and Cheap Jacks bar
rows. Every one of the little poverty
stricken, grimy shops is open, and the
whole scene is more busy than it is on
any other day of the week. The sight
is one to freeze the heart of a strict
Sabbatarian, but more than that, it is
a truly dreadful picture of the real con-
dition of life in west central London.
stood for some time in the doorway
of one of the sickeningly odo, ferrous
butcher shops, where loathing scraps
of trimmings of bone, fat and skin were
sold at two pence pound. A tall,
gaunt woman came and looked them
over, but the butcher said: mo pick
ing; yer takes as they comes with
them, missus.' ''Well," she answered.
''then yer might let me have two
pounds for three pence half-penny."
Cant" was the vender's prompt and
laconic reply, and the woman turned
away; but she stood by the barrow of a
potato dealer till his back was turned,
and furtively appropriated first one
and then another of his tubers.
Not only were the evidences of pow
erty something appalling in this Sun
day fair, but the looks of utter degrad-
alton of soul and body in the majority
were truly lamentable. Angry words,
and an occasional blow even, occurred
but that terrible apathy and sullen in
difference to all but the immediate OBJ
ject in view, spoke volumes of the lives
they lived. Young men in dirt and
rags; girls who had lost the feminine
pride of vanity which leads them to
bestow a thought upon their personal
appearance, strong. middle-aged men
whose love of drink was apparent:
mothers with babies in their arms, but
who looked old and careworn enough
to be grandmothers, these prevailed in
the crowd. And the noise and the
hustle, the tumult and bargaining, lasts
till about 1:30, when things resume
more weekday like tranquility. But
one passes out into Shaftesbury avenue
aud sees the conventional and well-to-
do going home to Sunday dinners. and
one realizes that in London of all places
lone half of the world knows not how
the other half lives. IL ondon Echo.
