CABBAGEs FOR HENS.

Nothing is better for hens in the way
Of vegetable food than fresh raw cab
bages; many farmers have a surplus that
can be fed in winter if properly taken
care of, and the hens will eat up any
small or loose heads that would other
wise go to waste; tie up head By the
stump just high enough from the ground
for the hen to peck at it easily, and they
will leave little but hard stump.
In putting up cabbage for winter use,
it is good plan to assert the heads,
placing the small ones by themselves, SO
that when wanted by the hens they can
be taken out without delay in sorting
them.
Hens will also greedily devour the
waste leaves stripped off the heads when
putting up cabbage for market. These
should be fed from rack of convenient
height, which will answer also for feed
ing clover hay, of which hens are very
fond. ANY such food if fed upon the
floor is apt to be speedily trampled and
wasted; besides it is not wholesome for
hens to eat food thus polluted.
This is better also than chopping up
such food, for it saves the labor of chop
ping, and gives the hens some useful oc-
cupation and exercise, which is just as
important for their welfare as it is to
keep boys busy at some useful work or
harmless play, to prevent their getting
into mischief.
Idle hens in confinement often eat the
eggs as fast as laid, and the feathers off
each others back; try to find some more
useful occupation for their idle hours

THE CARE OF FINE CUT GLASS

If fine cut glass becomes furnished or
blurred polish with a fine soft brush on
which is sifted very fine and soft whiting
and it will be restored to its original
beauty; or very soft piece of newspaper
can be used to polish glass. Wet the
piece of newspaper slightly and gently
rub the glass. Be careful not to give the
frail thing twist in rubbing it-that is,
carrying one hand in an opposite dlrec-
ton from the other, which is the quick
est way to break anything. After that
repeat the work with some dry, soft
paper. 1t is said that the printers ink
causes newspaper to give finer polish
when cleaning glass than anything else.
However this may be, no lint remains,
and the polish is brilliant.
If fine cut-glass water bottles get dingy
inside rinse them occasionally with a
little muriatic acid and then rinse in clear,
cold water very thoroughly. Muriatic
acid will remove stains or impurities,
and greatly improve the brilliancy of the
glass. But ashes, sand or shot, which
many use to cleanse glass, scratch and
injure the glass and do not bring back
the original lustre. Besides, the lead in
shot is poisonous, and if any is left
through carelessness in the decanter it
might do great harm. Brooklyn Citi-

TREES AS FENCE POSTS.

We consider the idea of planting trees
for posts most excellent one, because
the tence of the future will no doubt be
composed largely of iron or some other
cLeap metal, which can be fastened to
living trees without seriously injuring
them Or checking their growth. With
living trees as posts the farmer will Sc
cure something that is permanent and al
ways in position, when repairs to other
parts of fence may be required. Where
there are board or rail fences now stand
ing on the line of a highway, the young
trees should be planted on the inside,
say one or two feet from the fence, in
order to give room for placing the wires
on the outside of the trees as they be-
come large, without crowding upon the
highway. Trees should be selected for
planting that are adapted to the soil and
climate, and these can usually be OBJ
tanned in the forests OF the neighborhood
without cost beyond the labor of trans
planting. If all Of our farmers would
put this idea of living fence posts into
practice, their present complaints about
the great cost of farm fences would have
no foundation worthy of a moments con-
sideration.-Ne10 York Sun.

BENEFITS FROM DRAINAGE.

BY removing superfuous water from
the soil way is made for the air to aid
In decomposing the organic substances,
which become the food of the plants,
and ingredients which are hurtful to
plant growth, and which cannot other
wise be removed, are carried off by rain.
Not only does the removal of extra
moisture make the land drier, but it al
lows the soil to have the full benefit of
the suns heat, rendering it warm and
congenial to plant growth, and ready to
benefit by the least shower of rain, at
the same time raising the temperature
of the surrounding atmosphere. Drain
ing also makes soil of a stiff or tena-
cious nature more friable and better pre-
pared to receive the fbrous rootlets of
plants, and by the action of the atmos-
phere hard pans or crusts are broken
and pulverized, SO that the roots may
enter them, n result which could not
otherwise be obtained without subsoiling
or trenching .-Neoo York World.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
LINE WATER.

Stake four ounces of quick-ime with
a little water, and gradually add
enough water to make gallon in all :;
let it stand three hours, then bottle it
in glass-stoppered bottles, putting por-
ton of the undissolved lime in each bot
tie When you want to use some, pour
off the clear liquid from the top.
The breakfast should be eaten at eight
o'clock, the dinner at noon, and light
supper about five o'clock, at least two
hours before bedtime. We are speak
ing of children who have been weaned
and have cut their teeth. Until the
teeth are cut children should be, nursed,
then they should be fed On panadas of
bread, milk and sugar, or bread and
meat-juice and plain soups and digesti-
BILE vegetables.
While children are growing their
bones are hardening in accordance with
the quantity of heterogeneous and phos-
phatic elements supplied to them, and
their flesh is gaining strength and firm
ness Hence the demands of healthy
appetite should always be satisfied. We
repeat our advice to give children plenty
of plain, wholesome food; their systems
are active and will appropriate it,

FRACTURE OF BONES OF ANIMALS.

Valuable horses and cattle may have
broken bones of the limbs set, dressed
and heal with ii considerable degree of
success. But in consequence of the
struggles of injured animals, whenever
secured by every known appliance of the
skilful surgeon, deformity from disDlace-
ment is the rule and not the exception.
The fore legs of valuable horses may be
set and dressed with fair degree of sue
cess where the proper appliances of the
veterinarian and his skill are secured at an
early hour after the accident has occurred.
There are stations doing good service
after having had a fore leg broken.
One that has had a broken leg is
a fine road horse, and three minute
horse will be compelled to take his dust
all day long, unless the driver of the
broken-legged stallion drives out of sight
of the slower horse. In every serious in
jury of animals we commend Immediate
surgical advice, and If the case is incura-
BILE have the animal put out of suffering.

HOW TO CARE FOR RUNNING GEAR.

The repair and renewal of running
gear is often a burdensome expense to
farmers who keep a variety of carts,
racks, farm wagons and riding carriages.
Not infreQuehtly this expense is largely
increased by lack of care or by ignorance
of the effects which varied atmospheric
conditions have upon the woodwork of
wheels. These, if badly constructed at
the start, are costly articles, though they
be had as gift. To attain the best and
most economical results, it is necessary
to begin with honestly constructed gears,
and then give them intelligent care.
The idea is quite prevalent that wheels
do best when housed upon an earth
floor-a practice that is not only I'M
necessary, but, under ordinary conditions,
positively harmful. Besides the actual
wear by use, the agents most destructive
to running gears are moisture and the
suns heat. Unless the woodwork is
thoroughly protected by paint or varnish
1t will swell whenever it is wet, causing
''springing" ofthe spokes, splitting of hub
and felly and perhaps the ''dishing" of the
whole wheel. If a gear is not thoroughly
projected Ny paul IL Can he readily seen
that an earthen floor, usually quite moist,
is, therefore, not the best kind of sup
port. When wheels are long exposed to
the suns rays there is likely to be a
skrinkage of the wood that opens the
joints readily, admitting moisture. When
it is necessary to lave a cart or wagon
out Of doors, let some old blankets or
pieces of carpeting be thrown over the
wheels, OF, better still, have on hand q
sheet of cheap cloth large enough to
cover body, wheels and all. Frequent
painting of farm wagons, sleds, ETC., to-
gether with care as to exposure, will save
many dollars of expense. A light car.

There was a fine exhibition of strength
of the Arabs at a wrestling match in
valley around which the mountains rose
gradually, forming a natural amphithea-
ter, says recent writer. Here large
audience sat on the rocks overlooking
the space below. The rival tribes were
seated at each end of the valley, while
their chiefs walked proudly up and down
in front of them. Then one Of the
chiefs would call out q champion and
challenge rival. The two would throw
off their cloaks and rush at each other,
and wrestle until one would get his head
under the body OF the other, and with
great force, throw his adversary in the
air over his back. Sometimes after
desperate struggle the chiefs would have
to separate them; they being equal
neither one being able 10 throw the
other.

First of Our MerinO Sheep.

In 1909, during the second invasion
of Spain by the French, some valuable
crown focks of sheep were sold to raise
money. The (then) American Consul at
Lisbon, Portugal, a Mr.. Jarvis, pur-
chased 1900 head and sent them to this
country. A portion of the pure and I'M
mixed merino blood of these fockG is
still to be found in some few parts Of
this country. Such was really the origin
of the immense focks of fine wooded
sheep now to be found in this country.

of vinegar, flour to roll soft. Nice for
childrcn's school lunch.
Pigs Foot Cheese-Boil equal quaint
ties Of feet and hooks in a kettle until
very tender. Take cut the bones, chop
the meat, season with salt aud pepper
and press in a pan while warm. This IS
excellent cut in slices and served with
sauce or vinegar.
Baked Potatoes potatoes of
even size, scrub them with brush, wipe
with a cloth and place in hot oven.
The moment they are done, squeeze each
one to burst its skin and allow the steam
to escape. If the potatoes are of fine
variety this is an exceedingly delicate
way of cooking them. An overdone
baked potato is al abomination both to
the taste and to the digestion.
Souse-Clean and scrape the feet and
ears thoroughly; put in cold water and
set over the fire to boil. Boil until ten
der and the bones fall easily out, then
put in jar. Make a pickle of one half
a gallon of vinegar, whole black pepper,
mace and cloves; boil these with the
vinegar, then pour over the pigs feet.
After they have stood two or three days
they will be ready for use.

THE PEPPER MILL Is A LUXURY.

The little pepper mill is luxury that
has not yet made It's appearance in this
country, except, perhaps in isolated in
stances, although it is common on the
tables Of hotels and private houses in
England and on the Continent. It is a
barrel, about two inches high, of silver,
oak OF cut glass. The bottom is per-
forated and on top is the silver handle
which turns the mill in the barrel. The
pepper is put in whole and is ground by
the person using it directly on the
article of food which is to be seasoned.
The article is not only an ornament to
the table and interesting as a novelty,
but it has decided advantages over the
ordinary pepper-boxes. In the first
place, the spice which comes from it is
fresh, and therefore strong. In the next
place, the pepper is pure, which cannot
always be asserted of that which is
bought already ground. The investiga
tions Of the Government testers of food
have shown that the adulteration of
ground pepper is exceedingly common,
and when you use one Of the little mills
you can be reasonably sure you are eat
ing pepper and not a compound of it
with pulverized wood, appropriately
dyed.
The man who has given a pepper-box
a gentle shake, only to find that its con-
tents resist his invitation, and then
tapped it sharply, only to have his food
spoiled by the avalanche of the pungent
stuff, will appreciate the mill. 1t has no
vagaries, but always spreads the condl-
ment as gently and evenly as snow falls
on MINDLESS day.-Ne,o York Tribune.

A lady visiting in Van Vert, o., Wis
tied in Illinois recently and in the town
of Tiskilna, where she spent some time
she was told of a family residing there
consisting of ten members in which is
existing the following relationship.
The Oldest member is husband, father,
grand father, step father and father.in-
law. The next oldest member is wife,
mother, step mother, daughter-in-law,
sister-in law, aunt and is grandmother
to her own children. There are eight
step children, two sisters in-law, two
brothers-in-law, one aunt, two uncles
and half uncle, one half uncle, one half
brother, one sister, six brothers, four of
whom are step half brothers to the
other two. The husband is now living
with his third wife who is his own

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES

The One Billion Dollar Congress did
not entirely lose its ability to spend the
peoples money with its death. The Sen
ate still livesl Before its adjournment
it provided for junketing trip for four
of its members to Alaska, at a cost of
$1,000. The following, from the New
York Herald, tells the story of the steal
very glibly.
Another junketl
Four members of the United States
Senate want u pleasant summer excur-
sion to the Pacific coast.
Nobody will object to that, you will
say. Probably not, but they want the
people to foot the bill. That's where
the objection comes in.
They have planned to visit Alaska.
They secured the consent of the Senate
before Congress adjourned. All they
need is to draw what money they want
out of the contingent fund of the SEN
ate, wait until the weather gets warm
and go. Can you imagine anything more
delightfulp 1t is more interesting than
trip to Norway and Sweden.
1t is more expensive, also, but that is
a matter of no special moment. The
people are rich and prosperous, and it
pleases them, no doubt, to see their
representatives in Congress thus enjoy
ing themselves at their expense.

LATITUDE of discretion" is what the

unequal reapportionment of Ohio Sen

"The Constitution, while strict in Its
provisions as to reapportionment, al.
lows some room for the exercise of dis
cretion by the members of the Decen-
NAL Board. 1t was this latitude of dis.
cretion which made the election of Sec.
retary of State last fall 30 important,
and on account of which the Democrats
made SO hard fight to carry the cleo
tion. The two Republican members
of the board would be very weak kneed
If they did not use this discretion, al
lowed by the Constitution, in the inter

THE Minnesota legislative commit
tee on expenditures has unearthed a
peculiar fraud. 1t was found that it
had cost the State $4,000 the last sea-
son for wolf bounties, So being allowed
for each scalp. inquiry developed the
fact that regular wolf farms existed in
the northern counties of the State,
where wolves were raised in large num-
bers, simply for the purpose of selling
their scalps to the State. From Yer
mont, where the owners Of maple or
chards propose TO grow fat out of the
Mckinley sugar bounty, the report is
that farmers win pool their sugar crop;
first weigh 1t separately and then all
together, and make separate returns, SO
as to draw double bounty on every
pound OF sugar produced. The bounty,
under the Mckinley law, Is drawn d.
rectly FROM the United States treasury,
from the peoples tax money.
