Surprising Results Revealed by Book

keeping on the Farm.
A farmer who practices it says that
taking account OF all his possessions
and Indebtedness at the beginning of
each year reveals some surprising and
attractive results; each item leads to
benefic reelection on that one point.
The cash value of the farm was annual
ly in the descending scale for a long
time; but this season 1t Is rising again.
This leads TO inquiry as to the causes
Of the ups" and downs" OF real es-
tate, and II there is anything he can do
as q citizen TO assist in avoiding such
fluctuations. His live stock which has
reached the meridian of life he marks
down ten per cent, because it is really
worth that much less; but the young
stock invariably goes up and up in the
scale, some of it as much as 100 per
cent. Hero he drops his pen, wonder
ing why this thought was never SO
plain and forceful before. He now sees
clearly this: ION old stock ] lose, on
young stock gain" and resolves that
henceforth he will keep none but stock
that is growing into money instead of
ont of It. 1t is easy to rid ones self of
food animals whose age has placed
them in the descending scale, for they
can be fattened and sold without loss;
but not SO easily can old horses be got
rid of, for somebody must care fol
them; still, there are enough to take
the most of them at some price.
l know of = neigh borhood where
seven old horses are kept, none doing
scarcely anything; all next April would
not sell for enough to pay for their
feed through the winter. All are
owned by people, too, who can i'll af-
ford to lose anything. They would be
better off then to give the horses away
now. II these were, say, three-year-
old colts, there would be gain for win
tering them. Taking annual account
of ones possessions is very apt to cause

present rule is to take good care o
them, and then mark down 10 per cent

made in day. The first will reveal

We see it announced that "the trust
ees OF Cornell university at their re-
cent meeting took action which prom
ises to give important assistance to
the movement for reform in the con-
struction and care of country roads.
A resolution was adopted directing
the professor of civil engineering, the
professor of agriculture and the
professor of horticulture to prepare .
plan for putting the roads in the uni
versity property into the best possible
condition. The committee is to pre-
pare estimates of the cost of various
methods of road building and improve
ment, and they are advised that it is
the opinion of the board that the differ
ent roads should not be all constructed
on one plan, but upon different sys.
TENS which experience elsewhere has
proved to be worthy OF trial Surely
this is move in the right direction
and one that might be properly imita.
ted by other educational institutions.
Road making is one of the useful arts,
and knowledge in regard to it ought
to be more generally disse minated -

SUICIDE AND GAMBLING.
Two Evils Of Modern Life That Seem to

Two Evils of Modern Life That Seem to
Keep Company.
'If we could but obtain accurate sta
tistics, we should find that gam bling,
was, of all vicious habits not even ex-
cluding hard drinking. the one, which

Yet" continues this writer one does

is true only if there be nothing in the
very condition of his life secretly dis
integrating that fortitude.
Let us see IL is probable that an in
telligent jury will always account for
the gam tler's suicide by supposing that,
ere he cousummated the deed, he had
come under the resistless control OF
temporary insanity. Hence we must
try to discover those facts in the gam

insanity. / believe they are OF two

POULTRY PICKINGS.

If you have choice poultry give them
good treatment.
The egg can be increased in size and
richness by feeding.
WHEN breeding fowls for profit,
breed what the market demands.
So FAR as is practicable, ducks
should have separate quarters from the
other fowls,
WHEN poultry get no attention they
soon get so that they are not worth
looking after.
WHEN the weather is cold the water
should be emptied out of the drinking
vessels every night.
COMMON earthen crooks make good
drinking vessels if care is taken not to
allow them to freeze.
EVEN when the incubator is used it
will be found q safe plan to keep some
of the old hens for Matching.
In winter hens must have materials
supplied to them to make egg shells.
as well as material to I'LL them
WHEN the hens appear droopy it is a
good indication that they are suffering
from lice, indigestion or colds.
DUCKS will begin laying when about
six months old, but. as rule, the eggs
should not be used for Matching.
WIEN the weather is cold, if the eggs
are not gathered frequently they will
become chilled, and this ruins them for
Matching.
WHEN the ducks commence laying
they need to be fed on coarse, bulky
much fat
WITH many there is one good point
in having the better breeds of fowls,
and that is they usually receive better
care.
If eggs are to be bought for Matching
this spring send in the order early so as
to be sure of getting them when you
want them.
KEEP the chickens and the broods
growing rapidly by supplying them
with a good variety of food and feed
ing regularly.
BECAUSE there is plenty of scraps is
no reason why more should be fed than
is necessary to keep the fowls in good
condition.
SO LONG as the poultry must be
confined the greater part of the time,
they should be fed regularly three
times each day.
A TEAsPooNFUL of carbolic acid in a
gallon of water given regularly for a
few days will aid materially in pre-
venting disease,
ALTHOUGH the ducks will usually be-
gin to lay very early it is not good
plan to set eggs for Matching much be-
fore the first OF March.
The eggs from pullets that are just
beginning to lay should not be used for
Matching: they win not hatch well and
the chicks will lack vitality. st Louis

i've.
The newest tea gowns have n yoke
and belt holding them close in the prev
alent fashion, yet are much fuller than
ordinary dresses, and accordion-pleated
throughout White and gold is still a
favorite coloriug for tea gowns, and is
newly combined, as a white crepon
gown, with yoke, belt, and sleeves of
yellow satin. An innovation makes the
skirt separate from the waist, and en-
tirely of accordion pleated crepon hung
over white silk foundation skirt The
waist has closely-titted silk lining
covered at the top with round yoke of
yellow satin reaching to the shoulder
tips. To this yoke are attached accor-
dion crepon breadths that fall to the
foot in front and back, and are gath
cred in at the waist by a rounded belt
of yellow satin. The crcpon front
fastens invisibly on the left, but the
lining hooks down the middle Close
yellow sleeves fall low about the wrists,
and high standing collar is of the
satin. All the satin parts are beauti-
fully trimmed with small festoons of
gold-lined beads strung loosely to wave
with the slightest motion of the wearer.
The graceful effect of this gown is COM
pleted by gathered breteiles of the
crepon, with selvage fingers, starting
on the sides-not in front-from the
merest point on the hips, and widening
at the top to fall from the shoulders
low on the yellow sleeves. A similar
gown of pale violet crepou has the ac-
