POULTRY PICkINGS.

IF from any cause any of the chickens
get stunted the quicker they are mar
keted the better.
PEKIN ducks, if we'll fed and cared
for, will average one hundred and forty
eggs in year, which is enough to give
a good profit.
EVEN with young chickens there are
few materials that are better than good
cornmeal for fattening; even a few
days feeding of it will be of benefit.
\ ROW or two of sunflowers planted
along with the corn will be found
profitable to use in making good varie-
ty of feed, especially during the winter.
HENS that are two years old and are
not good layers had better be fattened
and marketed as soon as possible; they
are an expense and return no income
BROKEN grain, like cracked wheat or
corn, millet seed or something of this
kind, is better and healthier for Young
chickens than cornmeal or wheat mid
dlings.
SAVE the egg shells, put them into
mash them up fine and mix with the
feed. 1t is healthy and beneficial to
the fowls.
UNTIL warm, settled weather at least
it will be best to close the doors of the
poultry house every night. Very little
ventilation will do for awhile yet-St.

GOOD THINGS TO HAVE.
Pruning Saw and Brush Boat Which Ar
odd

Pruning Saw and Brush Boat Which Are
Easily Made.
What is just the best season for the
general trimming of orchards seems
to be q question on the answer to
which all are not agreed, as perhaps all
have not the same objects in view in
doing the work: but probably ma
jority have decided that the least in
jury is done to the trees when trimmed
while they are in dormant condition,
especially if the larger cuts are pro-
tected by some kind of waterproof
paint, which should be invariably ap-
piled. Many, especially among farm
ers. find that the most convenient time
to prune is during favorable weather in
winter or spring when other work is
not demanding their attention. Much
of this orchard work has already been
done and more will shortly be under
taken: perhaps the mention of some of
the methods and devices which L have
found very serviceable and the uses of
which | have not seen elsewhere, may
prove Of benefit to others.
While neither the shears nor saw
alone will answer all purposes, yet for
general use in bearing trees the latter
is the more serviceabl BILE. For this pur-
pose | use a saw about % inches long
and l inch wide, ground back with
about five or six teeth to the inch, filed
to cut one way and set in frame
made of "a inch oval iron or inches

wide at the base and tapering to about
9 inches at the point, with a nut at
the base of the frame by which to
tighten the saw, and also socket at
the middle of the base by which l can
attach it to light, stiff pole Zone of
Eastwood is BEST. This is about l q
inches thick at the socket and inches
at the base and from 6 to 10 feet long.
The saw should be set in the frame SO
as to draw in cutting. With this tool
any ordinary tree of twenty-five years
growth can be trimmed from the
ground in less than half the time
needed with any other device and
much better, as from the ground one
can see the limbs that should be cut
more readily than from inside the tree,
and the work can also be done without
injury to the tree from standing on the
limbs with boots with nails, etc, bruis-
ing the bark.

Window-Seats.

Every one knows how delightful the
deep window-seats are which are found
in old stone houses in the country. It
is very easy to arrange such seats before
any window, and they make very at
tractive part of the furniture if proper
ly upholstered. Ia a sitting-room where
there is lack of closets. if these seats
are made in some way to open. they
make a very good stoaway place for va
rious articles. The best form for them
is n low, narrow divan shape, several
inches lower than the bottom of the
window. Chintz. rep or any material
used in the upholstery of the room is
suitable for covering them. The top
should be stuffed with hair or some ma
terial to make a soft seat, and may be
tufted. a simple valance, reaching to
the ground, finishes the sides of the
seatS.-N. y. Tribune.

The small toque of black lace, net, or
tulle is considered appropriate with al
most any costume, whether black or
colored. 1t is worn alike by young and
middie-aged women, the special differ
ence existing in narrow strings of vel
vet or gold ribbon added at the back for
those who are no longer young. \
pretty toque of sheer black lace is
edged with jet, and has two bands of
spangled gold and silver around the
lace crown. 4 pink ostrich pompOn
and high black aigrette trim the back.
Glace ribbons are on many of the new
round hats. They are set in high wired
loops in front or back, and fine wire is
sewed invisibly in single ends of rib
bon to keep them erect This trim
ming does away with the low effect so
long desired for round hats, though
many of the largest size are
mere plateaus of open straw
lace, chip. or Leghorn mounted
over a slight crown, which extends be-
low. and holds the bandeau of flowers
or ribbon that rests on the hair. A
large hat with indented brin of gold
and straw lace has crown OF black vel
vet leaves; great clusters of poppies,
some red. others black, are set at the
back, and high bows of pale green e lace
ribbon trim the front and back. Other
hats with wide brims of open straw
have a soft crown of embroidered faille,
as one of maize-color wrought with
! silver and trimmed with silver wheat
and silver bows. Maize-eolored strings
are set at the back.
