FEEDING FOR EGGS.

Feeding for eggs is not feeding TO pro-
duce poultry for market. Like milk
eggs are as complete in the elements that
supply all the requisites for growth that
we obtain. for unless an egg is complete
in itself there could be no growth of
chicks during the process of incubation.
The fact that "A chick can, by the applica-
ton of heat to an egg, during "A certain
period of time, come forth from the egg,
is alone sufficient proof that all the es-
sential elements are present This fact,
so plain to all, is one that should not be
overlooked, for it teaches that hens, in
order to lay, appropriate certain ele-
ments, and that the food must contain
those elements.
TO produce eggs, the hen must also be
in perfect health, and to be in a condition
for performing her duty she must be COM
Portable in winter, contented, and as hap
py AS possible. The grain supplies her
body with warmth, ana to have her con-
tented she must be occupied in some man
ner. a hen will pine and droop from in
activity just as surely AS human indi-
vidual. COntine man in limited space,
with no work, or books to read, or any
facilities for passing away the time,
and he will lose appetite and become mis-
cradle. The rule also applies to hens.
Keep them busy, give them Il chance to
work and scratch, and kill time.
The bodily wants of the hen in winter
are not great. She can easily secure
warmth from her food, for all foods are
more or less carbonaceous (heat-produc-
ing); but it is no easy matter to procure
the large proportion of nitrogen required
in an egg, as well as the phosphates,
which go to make up the bone elements
As we sta ed, any kind of food will fatteu
II hen that Is not producing eggs, but nc
poultryman cares to have his laying hens
very fat, hence, all laying hens should
be separated from the nOn-producers
The quantity of food required for lay,
ing hen can only be determined by OBJ
servation of each individual, as no two
hens are alike, age. breed, appetite anC
general condition all being factors to be
considered.
If the poultry house is warm, less fooC
will be required for the production o:
warmth, and therefore warm poultry
house saves food. Bones. pounded, are
excellent at all times, rs they contain nj
trogen and phosphates, and one of the
best sources for producing the clemens

HOMEMADE CARAMELS.


Our candy was to be sold for a cent a
stick, but the sticks were not scanty little
ships by any means. Mrs. Cartwright
made us a present of the molasses, Lois
brought the sugar home, Al Fay brought
the saleratus, Patty remembered about
the vinegar, and Marjorie produced the
butter.
These were the Ingredients half
gallon of New Orleans molasses, a cup
of vinegar, piece of butter as large as
two eggs, good teaspoonful of saleratus
dissolved in hot water.
We melted the sugar in the vinegar,
stirred it into the moasses, and let it
come to the boil, stirring steadily. The
boys took turns at this work.
When the syrup began to thcken we
dropped in the saeratus, which makes it
clear then, Touring our hands, each took
a position. and pulled it till it was white.
The longer we pulled, the whittier it
grew. We ate some of il, but we girls
were quite firm in saving half for our
sale.
Then we made maple-sugar caramels.
Have you ever tried them? They are
splendid. You must have maple sugar
to begin with; real sugar from the trees
in Vermont if you can get it. You will
need a deep saucepan. Then into quart
of fresh sweet milk break two pounds of
sugar. Set it over the fire. As the sugar
melts it will expand. Boil, boil boil,
stir, stir, stir. Never mind if your face
grows hot. One cannot make candy sit
ting in rocking-chair with fan. One
doesn't calculate to, as Great-aunt Jessa-
mine always says.
The way to test it when you think ii
is done is to drop portion in cold water
If brittle enough to break, it is done
Pour into square buttered pans, and mark
it off while soft into little squares with a
knife.
Some people like cream candy. 1t Is
