TIE HOUSEHOLD.
Hints to Housekoepers.

To PREVENT layer cake from sticking,
grease the tins and dust in little flour.
HARTsHoRN usually restores colors that
have been taken out by acids of any
kind.
SALT sprinkled on any substance that
is burning on the stove will stop the
smoke and smell.
A LITTLE turpentine mixed with the
starch will give finer gloss to shirt
bosoms, collars and cuffs.
Hot milk is simple means of comfort,
and is most reviving to one who is fati-
gued by overexertion.
By rubbing with flannel dipped in
whiting, the brown discoloration may be
taken off cups which have been used for
baking.
Disinfectants are useful possessions in
all households. Even the most sanitary
plumbing may need the occasional purif-
cation Of disinfectants.
IT is said that to drink sweet milk
after eating onions will purify the breath
so that no odor will remain. A cupful
Of strong coffee is also recommended.
A GERMAN prescription for preventing
cold-sOres and boils from coming to q
head is to paint them five or ten times
daily with equal parts of boracic acid and
water.
SPONGE carpets occasionally with hot
water in which either common salt or
powdered alum has been dissolved. This
not only brightens the carpet but pre-
vents moths.
LAY piece of thick Canton flannel
under your tablecloth. Even coarse
napery will look much better quality
| with sub-cover than if spread directly
over the bare table top.
By applying little of the best car
riage oil varnish carefully with camels
hair brush to the edges of broken china,
the parts being neatly joined together,
the fracture will, when thoroughly dry,
be hardly perceptible, and the china will
stand FIRE and water.

"Roger and l."

A tattered, bedraggled, unclean, hir-
suite human creature lmped into . big
downtown saloon during the snow
storm the other day, and at his heels
also limped his prototype of the canine
species. They were comrades as clear
" as though they had been made for
each other. If the man had hang dog
look his companion surely had hang
man look. They both furtively looked
at the crowd of men drinking at the
bar, saw that they had not been noticed
by the bartender. and glided over to .
dark corner back of the stove, where
the man sank into chair and his COM
panion curled up at his feet The lat
ter was an English bull dog, and was
hideous enough to appeal to the deep
est affections of q society belle, If he
had bath. He was goggle-eyed, bow
legged, undershot, curtailed and ear
clip ed. It was physical impossible
ty for him to smile, because when his lips
parted they only gave the face an ex-
preston of leering or sneering. But it
Il doubtful If he ever had an excuse for
smiling, 90 he Was ignorant of his phys
ical defect.
The man was soon in sound sleep,
but the dog only closed one watery
eye and watched their natural enemy in
his white jacket behind the bar. Pres
emily the man snored, and they were
discovered. The dog raised his head.
looked at his companion with dis
gusted expression that said: well.
now you've done it, and calmly await
ed the consequences of their discovery.
The bibulous men in front of the bar
saw an opening for some fun. A propo-
sition to ~unite tin receptacle to the
CANNES abbreviated narrative was re-
ceived with favor. A stout string was
tied to the tin cAn and . slip knot made
in the other end. This was clipped
over the stump tail of the dog and
pulled taut The dog watched the OPP

bic WEAKNESS. When it was concluded,
and the men had opened the door and
tried 70 scare him ont, he parted his
lips in . sheer of contempt, and with .

e9Gs Per year. Some VIM admit have
laid from $50 to ITO, but I an only cal
culating the average, 30 - not to scare
the inexperienced poultry man, It being
nearer the average production. Did you
ever stop to consider that 100 eggs repre-
sent an aggregate weight Of 161b Of nu-
triment in its most condensed form, and
and $50 eggs an aggregate of 20 b? One
tenth of this, or perhaps trifle more, Is
fat. A surplus of material as well as
energy in the secretive organs is necess-
airy, SO it is fact that the mere feeding
of extra foods will not be sufficient.
It should be borne in mind that vital
ICED productive eggs are one thing and
those used for food another. If it were
possible to control the production of the
hens, the policy to pursue would cause
the breeding stock to produce but one or
two chickens. They would be more apt
to be fertile and the chicks constitution
ally more healthy and vigorous Usu-
ally fowl starts laying at or 10
months old. She does not lay as con-
stantly and as well at first as she will
the second year, but she will demand
more food for development the first sea-
son and during the period OF Noting, say
from August until November, she will
not lay at ALL If the winter is excess
sively cold, unless very warm and COM
Portable quarters are provided as well as
good food, she will seldom favor you
with an egg.
In feeding for eggs we must use proper
judgment and not gravitate to either ex-
tremes. We all know or should know
that q hen overfed will not lay well.
The fat accumulates about the Ovaries,
which means loss of action in the egg
organs. Feed well, avoiding such foods
as produce fat. Corn is one food OF this
kind, and sometimes warm cooked food
without exercise means the building up
Of q fatty element foreign to the makeup
of a good layer. Do not understand
that l mean that corn should never be
fed, nor warm feed, but only sparingly.
Wheat and bran are reproducing
foods when used in moderation. Rice is
also good, as is meat chopped up finely.
It matters but little whether the meat
contains much fat or not. Ground bone
and milk in the morning and evening are
excellent for old fowls that lay. Egg
shells broken up fine can be fed to them
and also lime in the form of old mortar.
An excellent mixture for she'll material
for general digestive properties is made
up of 10 parts of ground new oyster
shells, 2 of cayenne pepper and l OF
powdered sulphur. Place two full table
spoonsful in soft feed three times week,
which is sufficient for dozen hens.
