The Profitable Hen,

ne Profitable Hen,
Thepro6table hen may be a Brahma,
Cochin, Plymouth Rock, Leghorn,
Hamburg, or any other OF the good
breeds. On the other hand, the
Brahma, the Cochin, Plymouth Rock,
Leghorn, Hamburg, or hen of any
OF the good breeds, may be an un-
profitable one. First, the breeds, and
then the care. In selecting the breed
to obtain the greatest profit, the
climate is a matter of Importance; if
the climate is cold, the Leghorn and
Hamburg would not be the profitable
selection; then again the purpose for
which they are raised is matter of
Importance. If it is for market we
wish to breed poultry, the Ham
Durg would be unpr otitable, or even the
Leghorn unless it beused to cross with
some larger breed, says Western Poul-
try Breeder. Having selected the breed
to suit the climate and purpose, the
next consideration is the care; this
matter of care extends over a period
which includes the mating, gathering
and selection ofeggs; incubation, rear
ing, and keeping after maturity-if
kept tor market, egg or breeding pur-
poses. AS prerequisite to the rails
ing Of the profitable hen, the proper
mating OF only vigorous parents is of
great Importance. The imbecile hen
is not profitable. The eggs must not
become chilled nor be old when used
for incubation, or else the vieor OF the
Forthcoming hen will be impaired.
Use only fresh eggs. The young chick
must be kept dry and warm or it's
vigor will be lessened. The food must
be varied. Provide pure water and
plenty of sharp grit, in order that the
chick be kept vigorously growing until
1T reaches maturity. The hen thus
reared and properly cared for is the
profitable hen.

Valuable Hints,


Small turkeys sell better than the
larger carcasses. It requires about a
year and half to produce q twenty
tive-pound gobbler, hence the large
birds are not as tender as those that
are smaller.
Good shelter during the winter
means that less grain will be needed.
1t is cheaper to keep up the animal
from the outside than from the inside
When cold, cattle bum feed for fuel
Then they make no gain upon it.
The experiment of burning old
strawberry beds over while theground
is frozen has given good results to
those who have practiced it. The
plants come out thick and strong in
the spring, and some growers MAIN
tain that it is equivalent to having a.
new bed OF young plants.
1t does not pay to feed potatoes to
stock unless they are very low in price.
In proportion to the amount OF solid
matter in potatoes-they being com
posed mostly of water-they are ex-
pensive, and should only be substitute
ed for grain as all article OF diet in
promoting, the condition of animals
by change of food.
The best way to prevent sheep from
getting cockleburs in their wool is to
kill the weeds before they produce
burs.
Texas sheep raisers can produce
muttos cheaper than those of any
other state, and can compete withthe
best in wool.
The old practice Of feeding a farrow
COW everything she will eat to fatten
her, and milking her until she is sold,
is q good one that might be followed
with profit by many a family now GO
ing without milk.
No domestic animal should ever be
kept in q dark stable. Give plenty Of
good wholesome sunlight. The eyes OF
many animals are permanently in
iured by the sudden transitions from
inner darkness to outer sunshine.

Repairing Fences,

Among the first items Of farm work
that usually have attention in tie
spring is the building or repairing OF
fences. Our own plan is to attend to
this in the fall, so that there will be
no possibility of it's interfering with
work that has to do directly with the
production OF crops. We do not in
tend now, however, to discuss the best
time for doing that work, but to ask
whether so much of it is really neces-
sary. About the heaviest tax we have
to pay on our own farms in
the way OF an expenditure
that brings nothing back is
the labor and material EMPLOYED
in fence-building; but we have got so
accustomed to cutting our farms up
into little fields that it is hard to
overcome the practice. We see
adjacent fields grown to corn and
wheat and meadow, with strong fences
between them, as if the owner was
afraid that one crop would encroach
on the territory of the other. The
theory is, we believe, that he may
want to pasture one OF the fields at a
season when there is q standing crop
in another. but If he does so the
chances are ve,y much against his
getting value enough from it to pay
for maintaining the fences. Then
there is the waste land of the fence
row-no small item, and the fence row
is very apt to be a harbor for weeds,
and time is required to keep them
down that ought to be given to the
cultivation OF crops. These things
may have all been said before, but we
want to bring them fresh to your
mind just now, so that before you re-
build those fences you may stop and
ask yourself if they can not better be
wholly dispensed with. Some day we
shall get to the point of keeping our
cattle up, to the greater economy
both Of land and feed, and then we
shall be able to do away with our
fences wholly.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

TO MUSICIANS.
How the Women Musicians of
Minnesota May Win Fame.

How the Women Musicians OF
Minnesota May Win Fame.
Mrs. F. B. Clarke, who is chairman of
the committee on music in the woman's
building at the worlds fair, sends out
this circular to the musical women of
the state: Believing that the progress
of American women in musical knowl-
edge and expression canno be more
simply and effectively shown, the ua-
tional committee on music in the
woman's building at the worlds fair has
designed a series of musical illustrations
after the following plan, briefly out
lined:
1t is proposed to give semi-monthly
concerts in the wOman'S building a
Chicago during the six months of tn
worlds fair. Only women or girls who
are amateurs possessed of talent and a
high order Of musical ability. and who
have been residents of America for at
least ten years, will be permitted to
either sing or play at these entertain
ments. Any one desiring to take part
must first be tested and approved by
a Jury selected by the national commit
tee on music and satisfactory TO Theo-
dore Thomas.
No musical prodigy will be admitted
simply as such, nor is the diploma of
any college or conservatory either neceS-
sary or sufficient. Each candidate will
be rated upon her merits. technical pro-
fciency not alone being considered.
Permission to appear at these entertain
ments will be a mark of high honor. and
consequently of immense advantage to
any woman in her subsequent musical
career.
The state of Minnesota has decided to
confer a medal upon each successful
candidate, and it is hoped that other
states will follow her example.
The concerts are intended to provide
a public appearance for those amateurs
of distinction who are shut Out from the
concert room of the professional, and
who, for various reasons, would not
wish to appear therein. Quartettes.
trioS, either vocal or Instrumental,
choral and orchestral organizations Of
women will be eligible for examination. !
The examinations will take place not,
later than February. 1898, either at Chi.
cago or at several cities in the different
states. 1t is hoped that all candidates
for appearance at these concerts will
communicate with their state chairman
or with the undersigned as soon as pos:
sible.
The national committee on music in
the woman'S building congratuIates
itself that in the above plan it has the
hearty sympathy and cooperation Of
Theodore Thomas and of the entire
bureau of music, and that it finds itself
in complete harmony with the broader
and more comprehensive scheme of
musical illustration as outlined by Mr..
Thomas in his first official bulletin re-
Gently issued.
1t needs but a cordial response and
earnest effort OH the part of the Amer
lean women to win for their sex such a
recognition as the great OCCASION alone
makes possible.
LENA BURTON CLARKE:

Kate Field, who. bless her heart, is a
tremendously clever woman despite her
eccentricitieS, wants the aid of Mime
sofa women in agitating the question of
a national song.
why" you say, 1--WE have a nationa
song already. What more do we need?''
But when you come to think of it,
have we a national song, after all? 10
be sure. there are plenty of patriotic
songs we might sing if we were really
"hard up" for a song, but there is no
II popular song that thrills the chord
of patriotism and sets every inch of the
body tingling with the love of home
and fatherland.
There's America" Well, "Ameri-
ca" is ali very well in its way, but it is
the air our British cousins sing God
Save the Queen" to, and that is gall and
wormWOOd to the sons of SireS who
banged away with their old flintlocks
when they saw the whites of British
eyes at Bunker Hill.
There's ''The Star Spangled Banner"
but that commentaries the almost for
gotten war OF 1872, and is SO desperately
high in some places and low III others,
that people with ears inStinctively take
to the woods when unframed singers at
tempt it. 1t is too difficult tn be thrill
ing.
There's Julia Ward Howe's Battle
Hymn of the Republic" but the South
ern half of these United States can
never forget that the tune is John
Browns Body" and what it used to say
concerning the disposal of the president
of the Confederacy.
There's Yankee Doodle" but
Yankee Doodle'' lacks dignity. Be-
side, it is a borrowed air, and comes
from ~Scotland-or is it Ireland?
There's the Red, White and Blue"
but that's a war time song, and is sec
tional. So are "Marching Through
Georgia" and Rally Round the Flag"
Ii we were looking merely for some
thing stirring it were easily found.
There's not one of us with warm blood
in his veins but thrills and breathes
hard at maryland, My Maryland" and
"Dixie" will raise a yell from any
crowd on earth. The Bonnie Blue
Flag" is defiant anu martial enough,
but all these songs bring back the days
when the glitter of steel flashed be-
tween the hearts of brothers, and they
will not do. - .
We must have a national song. With
pie our national dislI,apoker our ma
tlonal game, and nerve our national
characteristic. we MEDIA national song
to make us great, and let us hope that a
Minnesota woman will write it.

WHAT AUNT POLLY SAYS.
"reminiscences OF What an Older
Generation Saw.

0CucFAtaOn DIV.
The papers every day now are full of
accounts Of cholera. and the more timid
among us are already quaking with ter
TOR lest the dread disease cross our
frontier; and | want 10 talk a bit with
the WOme who read the GLOBE about
the cholera.
In the first place. you ought to go
down on your knees and thank PrOvi-
dence for these times. 20 temporal! 0
mUrtS!" does very we'll 10 eXclaim when
you compare our times with Utopia;
but, when you think of how the world
was only forty years ago.. there is place
for nothing but thankfulness.
Such excellent precautions are being
taken that an epidemic is almost inn
possible. so let lis not be afraid. Fear
kills more than the plague, you know.
Live carefully, but don't make martyrs
of yourselves. Go about your business
as usual. see that your back yards are
clean and wear flannel about your Stom-
ach and abdomen. But above all, don't
be afraid.
On, if you could remember the terri
BILE year OF '52. you would know why /
tell you to be thankful for these times.
There was such terror and ignorance of
c0inmon sanitary precautions then as
are impossible to believe now. L think
IShall never smell burning tar without
a thrill of fear, for in the streets of st.
Louis that summer there were tar bar
rels burned at night to keep off the
plague. Sensible people whitewashed
everything that whitewash would stick
F, 10. Every nook and corner that could
harbor disease were swept across by the
cleansing whitewash brush.
! People went wildhwith fear, barricad-
Ing. themselves within doors, and the
! people who escaped contagion were the
people who vent about their customary
business and lived as they had lived.
Houses where cholera victims had died
were burned with the dead in them. In
One Illinois town, where a crowd of
refugees from st. Louis had taken ref
| dge, some fear-craZed man found a
house wherein lay five dead people, all
the family; but, when the flames licked
the caves, there rang out to us across
the lurid night the voice of a child call
| ing for water.
in st. Louis the dead carts rumbled
| through the deserted streets. and at the
cry, Bring out your dead" breaking
hearts stood still in agony. Such an
epidemic would be impossible today and
i'll Minnesota. There is scarcely any
reason for fear, yet when you think
what has been you can understand the
necessity for absolute cleanliness of
| person and city, and the observance of
all sanitary laws. AUNT POLLY.
