Barnyards are bad, but barnyards with

the worst kind of barnyards, are fearfully

without 1t; but there is mighty smart
chance for him to get valuable hints out

"Reading, spelling, writing and the
simple rules Of arithmetic are needed by
all, but where the studies go beyond these
they lead away from the farm" This Is
true, II farming Is confined to drudgery !;
but that kind Of farming is growing out
Of date.
There is generally a sad sequel to the
persistent teasing Of colts, bull calves, or
even Of heller calves, by boys or hired
men. The animals remember the teasing
but rarely discriminate when they get the
chance to punish-as they often do. II

Boiling an Egg.

"Isn't 1t strange said short, foreign
looking man the other day to some CO ~
panious. while lunching together at one
of the restaurants, THAT not one cook In
fifty, nor housekeeper either, knows how
to boil an eggi And yet most people
think they know this simple matter. They
will tell you to drop 1t into boiling water
and let 1t remain three minutes, and to
be sure the water Is boiling.
"Here is where the mistake Is made.
An egg so prepared is indigestlble, and
hardly fit for we'll person, let alone one
who is sick, to eat. The moment 1t is
plunged into boiling water the white
hardens and toughens. To boil an egg
put 1t In vessel, cover with
cold water, place over the fire and the
second the water begins to boil your egg
Is done. The white Is as delicate IS .
Jelly and as easily digested and nutri-
tious, as 1t should be. Try It,"
The information Is worthy Of consi-
Iteration. since the speaker has occupied

should be In her prime OF life. She
should take keen interest In the world
around her and live in the present, not
in the past, as too many worn out women
do. When her daughters have arrived at
an age when they can take the burden OF
her cares oil her shoulders, she may yet
reign as queen Of her household, and
should have more time for intellectual
pursuits than ever before. A great many
women fail and grow old and reminiscent
because they make themselves drudges
and perform duties which 1t would be fal
better for the children to do. From the
excess Of work which many mothers dc

sand snipe, or tip up as the boys call
them, standing at the waters edge,

Soon the bird arose a little way i'm

where it fell and nu.tcred as though
calling on me. as on an old friend. for
help.
when | reached the spot | saw that
one of the birds feet was clasped by a
large fresh water clam, but before l

great effort arose into the air and made
a few wild circles, unfortunately over
