IN those old days OF the lost sunshine
OF youth, when the Saturdays chores were
And The Sunday wood in the kitchen, too
And we went visiting, me and you,'
Out to old Aunt Maryss
1t all comes back so clear today
Though am as bald as you are gray
Out by the barn lot and down the lane
We patter along in the dust again
AS light as the tips of the drops of rain,
Out 10 old Aunt Mary's.
We cross the pasture and through the wood
Where the old gray snag of the poplar stood;
Where the hanmering 'red-heads hoped
away
And the buzzard s'raisedr in the Clearing, sky
And lolled and circled as we went by,
Out to old Aunt Marys.
And then in the dust of the road again;
And the teams We met and the countrymen:
And the long highway with Sunshine spread
As thick as butter on country bread.
Our cares behind and orr hearts ahead
Out TO old Aunt Mary's.
Why, / see her now in the open door
Where the little gourds grew up the sides and

The clapboard roof. And her face-ah, me!
Wasn't it good Tor boy to see
And WASH t it good for boy to be

And, oh my brother so far away.

To welcome us. Aunt Mary fell
Asleep this morning, whispering, Tell

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Cucumber Not Indigestible--- How
to Serve Wine and Make Tea.


Many people ara under the impression
that cucumber IS very indigestible. and
when they eat it they do so under protest
and with the approximations of possibly
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say. m
less it be that cucumber is often eaten;
with salmon and other indigestfble table
friends 1t is not the cucumber, heWev-
er, but the salmon that sits 20 heavily
upon our stomach's throne. Cucumber.
IN fact, is very digestible when eaten
properly. Il cannot, indeed. be other
wise when 1t is remembered chat II con-
sists mainly of water and that these parts
which are not water are almost exeAu-
sively cells of very rapid growth. In
eating cucumber it is well 20 cut il into
thin slices and to masticate them thor
oughly. Even the vinegar and the pep
per that are 80 often added to it are OF
service TO the digestion II not taken IN
excess. The cucumber, as everyone
knows, belongs to the melon tribe, bus In
our somewhat cold country 1t does not
grow to any very large size and therefore
il is armer and less digest1ble than its
eongeners the melon.
How to Serve Wine.
Wine is like a delicate flower, and
should be treated as carefully: otherwise,
as a lily touched by frost, 1t will droop
and its full life and beauty never return
Champagne should be chilled but once,
and then only fifteen or twenty minutes
before it is used. says one authority on
scientific wine drinking, and claret
should be gradually warmed and drunk
at a temperature Of 20 or IS degrees, ana
never drank at all excepting with meats.
Il is a common thing 10 see ladies add ice
and sugar to claret- They might as well
add sugar to vinegar or resort 10 their
usual relish-p ickles-f0r claret with
ice added becomes nothing more Or
less than vinegar
The old custom Of serving many wines
at banquets has sensibly been done away
with Now one sees only Sauterne with
the oysters, sherry or Madeira with the
soup, Burgundy or claret with the meats
and entree, these grosser wines preparing
the palate for the most delicate Vt all

Poultry Notes.

IT is not always the best and most
elaborate poultry houses that shelter
the choicest stock. Success, however,
mainly depends on warm, dry coops
with proper care and management and
freedom from overcoming. This
latter trouble is often the cause of i'll
success. II you wish q healthy flock
keep few in q pom.
A FowL inclined to fatten too soon is
not a good layer, as q general rule. 1t
can't be; the flesh it carries make it lazy;
this promotes laying. The Leg
horn, Wayandotte and Light Brahma
are all good steady layers, but if not
kept in condition to lay they will never
do it. Condition is an important thing
when the production of eggs is the ques-
ton.
CHICKENS like ground bone OCCASION
ally. There are grinding mills made
that will crush fine all kinds of bones,
IS well as crack corn. You will find a
mill of this kind very useful and indis-
pensible around a poultry coop. Ground
bone can either he fed with soft food
or alone, and will eat it in any food,
and is one Of the articles Of diet suited
to them.
AS AN ornamental fowl the white
faced Black Spanish stands next in rank
to the Polish. They are stylish looking
fowls and very attractive and lay well
throughout the season. We do not con-
slider them as hardy as some other fowls
yet they can stand considerable rough
weather and have good records as win

their habits and will runswith the
chicken hens and lay with them. The
white guinea is a fine layer of very rich
favored eggs. As layers they almost
rival iLoghorns. They begin early in
the spring and continue until late in
the fall, until msny of the hens have
stopped. The eggs require about four
weeks to hatch. The young are hardy
and easily raised if given the required
attention.. The flesh of the white
guinea, unlike that of its speckled re-
lation, is very tender and toothsome. AS
a table fowl they come nearer the wild
game birds than any of our domestic
fowls. Their scarlet-trimmed heads and
Beautifully snow white plumage attracts
