ANN AND GARDEN NOTES.

Let the old aud young poultry nave as
good a range as possible.
Guinea fowls are valuable aids in de
stroyiag injurious insects.
Early batchel chickens bring the best
price. and bring in money when it is
most needed.
Ualcss especially desire for breeders
aens that do not lay regularly should be
marketed as soon As possible. It costs
something to winter even a hen.
10 lot Of winged fowls sent to mar
ket a few good fowls add nothing to tne
selling price Of the lot. For this reason
Il is always best to sell in graded lots.
A farmers wife says. 1.-The cows and
the hens paid for the farm. They marched
up with their butter and eggs each year
and ate up the notes as they fell due. "
1t matters not what ails the fowls, if
they are ailing at all, they should be
separated from the rest Of the fowls, and
Usually the quicker it is done the better.
With many hocks the possible profits
are lost by keeping too many ROSTERS.
They add to the cost, while they bring
no income after they are well matured.
It will be a rare occasion when it IS
best to supply artificial heat in the pOaI
try house, yet all reasonable care should
be taken to have it tight and comfort
able.
With geese, as with other kinds of
poultry, it will be found most profitable
to keep only the better breeds. 1t costs
no more to keep them than the common
ones.
With turkeys at this time quality
aud condition are of more importance
than weight, as it is the medum-sized
fowls that bring the best price per
pound.

FARM ANO HOUSEHOLD.
THIN OUT THE FRUIT.


Nature in its abundance very often
SETS far more fruit than tree or bush
can bring to perfection. 1t not only Is
q bar to tine specimens that year, but Is
often exhaustive to the bush the next
year. Even for orchard growing many
contend it pays to thin the fruit, 90
first-cass, Uniform fruit will sell at
profit where the ordinary is sometimes
drug in the market. We are not, how
ever, thinking just at present OF the
market fruit-grower, he being supposed
to know what is best, but Of that grown
in the home garden. If there are any OF
our readers who have never tried the
effect of thinning heavy crops Of fruit
let them begin this year Ga the native
grapes, instead Of allowing three or four
banches to a single shoot, cut of to, say,
two punches TO n shoot. Thin out
peaches and apricots and such fruit
where they are manefestly too thick.
This operation IS best performed after
the first dropping Of the fruit, when they
begin to swell freely. 1t sometimes
happens that enough fail to fertiIiz' and
drop at about this time naturally. This,
of course, will need to be taken into
consideration. Try the thinning pro-
cess on any Of the small fruits and see
its effect; but a certain amount can be
fairly carried on any plant, and this may
be centered in a given quantity OF per-
feet specimens, or in the whole mass Of
an inferior quality.-Prairie Farmer.

A Welcone Change.

There used to be few years ago
such a Juror about elocuti0n that
when people met on the street i'm
stead OF asking each other "How do
YOU do?' the usual senseless form Of
address, they inquired, Glow do you
elocute?" Men and women paid fab
ous.prices TO be al lc 10 read one or
two selections with facial contortiOns
that were supposed 10 illustrate the
text, and the pleasing exhibition Of a
reader trying to make his features
express the surface OF a landscape
garden were offered to the public.
Then came new Interpretation
called the art Of expression which
was sensible and artistic Still there
was one fatal defect. The pupil
could read her selection for which
face and voice were both trained, but
she could not pick up book at ran
dom and read any page aloud with
the incubation OF voice and soul Of
expression demanded by the subject.
She could do nothing without her
lines.
Now this bids fair to be remedied
by the new education which begins
with the child and teaches IL to "elO-
cute" gracefully, without the tricks
of elocutlon; to begin the career Of
instruction with the art Of express
sion instead Of bringing II in as
postgraduate accomplishment.
Among the many complicated studies
Of the public schools, surely the art
Of good reading should be so well
taught that there would be no need
Of a supplementary courSe.-Fre'

A Remarkable Lighthouse.

One Of the most wonderful light
houses in the world Is that at Minot's
Ledge, near Boston. Its history has
been one Of romance The greater
part Of its foundation is under water
at low tide. In 1917 a skeleton light
house Of iron was erected there on
iron piles placed in holes drilled in
the rock. A furious hurricane burst
upon the coast in April, 1851, and
anxious watchers from the COhaSSet
shore thought the structure had been
carried away. But, as the sun sank,
out shOne the light across the storm
tossed waters. At 10 p. n. the light
was seen for the last time. Al one
hour after midnight the fog bell was
heard above the roaring Of the break
ers. At daybreak the ocean was a
blank: the lighthouse was gone.
Knowing that no help could reach
them, the keepers had lighted their
lamp as warning ID Others, and
their lives had gone out with 1t
A granite tower now occupies the
spot So difficult was IL 10 lay the
foundation in the surf that only
thirty hours work could be done dur
ing the first year, but the tower
stands to-day as enduring as the ledge
itself-an isolated pile Of stone amid
the waves, by the force Of which it is
swayed like a tree in the wind. Dur
ing the long winter months all COM
munication with the land is shut of.
In summer the occasional visitor is
hoisted into the lighthouse from his
boat by means OF a chair, and from
time to time a sklf IS lowered by pull
leys to convey one or another Of the
five keepers to the shore. The life
tells on them frightfully. Several Of
them have been removed because
they have gone insane, and more
than one has attpmDted suicide.

Charcoal can scarcely be claimed

slowly in the soil. If it is burned to

contains are released, and bee ONE avail

coal is an excellent and valuable material

have not been abandoned they are
greatly behind time. At Duluth and
