general rule, any variety OF fruit will be ten
days to two weeks in ripening all the fruit

fruit bearing plant or tree should be gone

Cleaning the Poultry Houss.

With some the matter of cleaning out the
poultry house is not an important duty. says
Farm and FireSide. Once a week. twice
a month, or as often as it becomes foul is the
rule, but it is always easy to determine
when the work should be doCe by observa-
ton. Much depends on the manner OF
cleaning, the absorbent used. and the num-
Der OF birds in the house. Then again the
weather should be co suited. If the air is
cold and dry, there will sometimes be no
odor arising from the droppings, and the
birds will not then be very uncomfortable
when the dropplngs are allowed to re-
main, but nothing more conducss to
dampness and disease than floor covered
with filth. Unless some absorbent he used
the work of cleaning the poultry house will
be difficult. The object should be to pre-
vent the droppings from adheriDg to the
floor, which should be Of boards, and tight,
as a wooden floor is warm in winter, can
be swept with broom, and is, therefore,
more easily cleaned. II TIE roost is placed
or wide ard, which catches the drop
pings, the board should be always kept
covered with dry dirt. aiding peck of
plaster to every two bushels of dirt, which
should be sifted aud in fine condition.
The larger portions of tbs droppings will
fall on the board, but the floor will also
catch a portion. The proper way to clean
IS to first sweep the floor with an old rough
broom, then scrape the floor with hoe and
sweep again. Next scatter fine sand, earth
or finely sifted coal ashes over the floor, so
as 20 cover it completely, and after cleaning
OFF the board under the roost, rub kerosene
on the roost. II this is done twice week,
only few moments will be required for
cleaning the poultry house, and if done
properly no odor will be distinguished
therein. But the work should be done
regularly and not seml-occaSionolly, so as
TO permit combining Of hens in damp

A Lesson in Street Car Etiquette
Taught by Boston Girl
From the Boston Herald
Il was between 6 and z o'clock in the
evening and the fremont street car was
crowded. A good macy Of the passengers
were workingmen. and those who we're
fortunate enough to have q seat, even, il it
was very narrow one, seemed 60 lose
half the pleasure of it in watching the door
open every time the car stopped 1t reached
Eliot street, however, without an invasion
of the feir sex. Then fivs or six OF them
got on board. The majority Il the new
corners were young and pretty and OF that
type VINO seem TO make special study Of
the best methods for making the male pat
rons of street cars feel uneasy, If they hap
pen to be sitting.
One OF the arrivals, however, was
notherly looking woman whose every featuT
indicated that she had "a will of her own.
She might have been taken at first sight for
q prominent member of womsn's rights
society, but those who formed this opinIoa
OF her when abe entered the car felt ashamed
of themselves q few minutes later.
Several Of the young girls had selected
the seats they meant TO have when they mad
ogled their present occupants out OF them,
aud one young man with a csreworn look,
who knew he was victim, but did not
want to give up the battle, decided 60 COM
promise rather than acknowledge 10 defeat.
He got up and offered his seat to the mother
ly looking woman.
Instead OF quietly dropping into the
vacancy, as is usual IN such cases, the woman
turned and said:
mo, thank you, sir. ! am as we'll able
TO stand as YOU are: you had better keep
your seat" Then, warming up to the subj ct,
she continued: II cannot understand this
nonsense of giving up everything to women.
as If they were poor, weak creatures, I'M
able to stand. Here is car full of men
who have been working hard all day and
want rest on their way home, but they
are supposed TO give up their seats to a lot
of young girls who have nothing to do but
saunter through the stores all day long, and
have not foresight enough to go home before
the cars become crowded. l think IL simply
ridiculous. 1t is q good while since | have
been on the street car at this time Of the
day, and propose, so far as l am Concerned,
to leave the seats to those who have the

The young man looked confused, num-
Der of the Older men shook their heads ap-
proyingly, others looked on in wonder, and
the girls. Cor whose benefit the remarks
were apparently made, seemed undecided
whether to giggle or pout. They cast longing
glances at the vacant seat, but not one of
them had the courage 60 drop into it.

straps, and seemed unable to understand 10.
A smile went around the car, and for sew

Sowing Grass Seed.

One of the most important items in the
sowing of both grass and clover seed in the
spring is to get the seeding done early, says
the Western RurdL. just when it is the
best time is rather hard to determine, as
very much depends upon the season. as in
some seasons the seeding can be done much
earlier than others. Generally the latter
part of February and the early part of
March is a good time. In nearly all cases
it is best to have the seed ready and then
when favorable time occurs push the seed
ing as rapidly as possible. While some con-
slider it best TO SOW on the snow, the only
advantage in doing it at that time is, that
it is somewhat easier 20 see how the work is
being done.
All things considered. the best time to
sow either grass or clover is when the soil
is wet and free yes up quickly, letting the
surface of the soil stand open, something
like a honeycomb. This will be best,
whether the seeding is done on fall sown
wheat or fAlloW land. When sown on fal-
low land something depends on the charGo-
ter of the soil and method OF preparation.
In a light loamy soil that in freezing and
thswing seems 20 open up. often lifting
growing plants nearly or quite
out Of the ground, 1t will be
best to SOW the seed without any
preparation, that is If the land has been
in oats, wheat or rye, the stuhbIe and the
weeds and grass that may have gro wn up and
been killed down by frost will be benefit
