POULTRY PICKiNGS~

BRAHMA eggs are said to be darkest
in color when the pullets commence
laying late in the fall.
SOME of the most successful poultry
men sell the early Matched roosters for
THERE is no economy in having the
poultry SO wild that they cannotE be
handled readily at any time that it nay
be necessary
A DUCK acts like it was always hum
cry and for this reason it is an easy
matter to overfeed, and there is moth
ing gained by having them too fat.
IT is a good time now to feed and fat
ten the old hens for market. This can
be done better now than later. There
is no gain i'm keeping them any longer
than is STRICTLY necessary.
FILTH from allowing the droppings
to accumulate is, perhaps, TIE most di-
rect cause of disease. There should be
regular time for cleaning up and it
should be strictly adhered to.
WHILE for some reason it may be a
good plan to bury fowls that die with
contagious disease, the safest plan is to
burn as soon rs possible. This destroys
all chance of spreading a disease by
contagion
WHEN the hens have "a good range
they are able to pick up various kinds
of food and so have a supply of all the
elements that go to make up the eggs
that they produce, but when confined
this variety must be supplied.
AS SOON rs the weather begins to get
cool safe rule in feeding, especially
with the laying hens, is TO give a warm
feed in the morning and whole corn at
night. giving the latter just before the
fowls fly up ON the roosts.-St. Louis

THE FlIPPANT MISS.
She Thinks She Is Clever, But Others Do
Not Agree With Her.

She Thinks She Is Clever, But Others Do
Not Agree With Her.
There is nothing 50 bright or so alto
gether attractive as girl who is witty
and interesting in her conversation
without appearing to be so. Such
one wins readily the praise and pleas
ant comment of those about her, but
there is a type of young woman who
thinks TO be ffippant is to be witty.
and to be absolutely impertinent is to
her means of showing her unusual
qualifications.
The fippant young woman shows
her peculiar accomplishments in speak
ing OF her parents. whom she regards
as being far behind ker in the intel
lectnal race, and who have been put
upon this earth for the sole purpose of
being the butt of her witticisms.
As pitiful asst seems to others, the
parelrts of such a young woman fire.
quently feel no humiliation in the be-
ing 10 be laughed at in order that she
may show off before those who are
ab0nt,her.
II, however. she really thinks that
her audience admires such conduct she
is mistaken, for, even though they may
laugh, in their hearts, they have no re-
speot for the girl who has no respect
for her parents. There is a certain de.
ference due to age that should be re-
spected by everyone. Particularly is
this so in the treatment children show
thef-,parents- Though many a young
person is far better educated than the
Woodworking man or woman whom
they so persistently make fun of, the
people who are able to appreciate real
merit will find more of it in the elder
thar in the younger person.
Dignity of demeanor marks the lady
everywhere, and. though very witty
speech may have to be strangled at it's
birth, 1T is better 10 do so than to in
dulge in a style OF conversation that
hurts those who are made the subject
of it. and also offends those who may
not be personally interested in it.
After awhile the fiippant young per-
son will be avoided by-those who know
the quality of what she calls her wit.
and the friendship Of those worth Gull
tivating will be given to the girl who
in every way shows q Difference to
those older than herself, and who, in
her communication with those of her
own age, does not try to be funny at
the expense of others Life is too short
to stand any such nonsense. and though
she may think herself something above
the average in mentality. the great

become too large to pass through the
spaces readily. posts can be nailed to
the corners to raise the coop of the
ground, allowing the chicks to run un-

GUS deformities found among chickens
come from their squeezing between
pickets and through the meshes of
coarse wire netting. When feeding at
an early age this may be prevented by
some such feeding device as this one

ARTEslAN DRAINAGE.

Without Thor0ughness tho Work Cannot
Be Made Success.
/ learned something about drainage
last year which has been of great serv-
ice to me this spring, and may be to
others who have similar problem to
solve. The drainage OF springy land is
often very difficult The bitches put
through the wet place are found to
drain only imperfectly the surrounding
soil. have seen water stand on the
&urface of the ground with tile buried
three feet below-el1 clear and free and
in good working order. The reason is
the water is forced out of the ground
by an upward pressure, and comes
through little seams and veins distrib-
uted through the soil, many of them
near the tile perhaps; yet the water will
come nearly or quite to the surface be-
fore it works its way to the tile. The
condition producing this state of affairs
is illustrated in the cut A shows up
per stratum of wet soil, which is often
peaty or mucky; B is a layerof hardpan
or tough bowlder clay or marty clay; c
shows the gravel water-bearing STRAIT
UNI; D E + are the minute natural
water cs....nnels from latter to surface.
The tile is generally laid directly on
the hardpan, as shown at G. If condi-
tons are favorable, this will dry it
sometimes To cut deeper into the
hardpan is useless unless you can go
clear through, and this is often iInpos-
sible. have done it, however, with
the very best results. Last year took
up tile ditch which had failed to
benefit the ground, and by sinking it a
foot or two deeper struck the loose
gravel, and drew the water out from
under all the surrounding region.
But to go clear through the hardpan
is often too expensive and even impos-
sible. have cured very difficult places
by taking post-hole digger and sink
ing small hole through the hardpan
down to the water-bearing gravel, as
shown below G in the cut. The water
will generally rush up and flow off
through the tile. This should be done
at intervals of about rod. One ditch
in which worked this spring was par

Keeplns Fruit wI.hsut Sugar.

Writing from Grayson, La. a CORE
spondent asks how to keep fruit with
out using sugar. Cook the fruit in a
porcelain lined vessel or a bright tin
one; and cook it by placing the vessel
containing the fruit in another tin YES
eel set on the stove and containing
enough water to nearly reach the top
of the vessel containing the fruit Keep
the latter vessel closely covered. Fill
the fruit jars with the fruit and seal
them while the fruit is boiling hot
The fruit can be placed in the tin cans
and these placed IN the water After
sealing stand them in cold water If it
is desired to can fruit so that it viii
look exactly natural the fruit used
must be only half ripe.-Farnaers'

How to Prevent the Hens from Eating

COURTESY TO WOMEN

The Demand for Equal Rights Nav Les
sen 1t.
The courteous Difference paid to
women by all who have the slightest
claim to be considered as gentlemen is,
in the opinion of many persons, likely
to be lessened by the demands forequal
rights and responsibilities made by the
advanced and progressive section of the
sex. The story of the lady who, ON
getting into a full carriage, was met
by the question from the only una@e .oc-
cupant as to whether or NOT she was an
advocate for the equality of the sexes,
and on replying in the affirmative was
informed she might stand during the
remainder of the journey, is,scarcely an
exaggerated illustration of the feelings
of not few men,
In some instanc eS women appear to
recognize their increasing uesponsibili-
ties, and tale comes to us from New
port, respecting grand dinner organ
lied by ladies at an expensive restaur-
ant, where the viAnds were par
taken of to the music of band,
ladies alone being present, the ,hus-
bands being detained IN tine city by the
:inexora BILE claims of business or pleas
,ure. Each lady had the somewhat
novel experience of paying for herself
with her husbands money!, the feast
being what is known as a 'iDutch
treat" We are further Informed that
the whole proceeding WAS a success,
and that, even at the end of the day,
''when the feast was soser," and the
reckoning had arrived, when. even men
are said to laugh no move" there were
no defaulters, and no lady had:nnfor-
,tunately left her purse art home.
Seriously considered, the change in
.the relative positions ofmenandwomen
must affect eventually many Of the
smaller courtesies OF life. The man
whose place has been takenEsy a'woman
can hardly be expected to he as lavish
of his hospitality and as careless of his
expenses as when he was in receipt of
the income which she now appropriates,
and the question may be pushed still
further, and the inquiry made as to
whether he is likely to become the pro-
prietor of a household of hisdnwn.-sN

We have carefully noted throughout

tive, s. w. Walker. He was sent as
a delegate to care for the interests Of
this section, which he has done to the
very letter. No representative took a
more active part than Walker, and no
one accomplished more in behalf Of his
constituency. He wasactiyely engaged
some timo before the Legislature CON
vened, and in no instance shirked the
duty devolving upon him. As a repre-
sentative his district car justly feel
proud Of him, and as a Democrat the
party can safely rely upon him with
pride. Mr.. Walker is making an en-
viable record in politics, and ere many
more campaigns viii stand at the head
Of his party in this section. His rec
ord in the legislative halls will un-
donbtedly be an able one, and if the
opportunity is presented Mr.. Walker
will make his mark.

4 coon SUGGESTION.

On the subject Of a new constitution
the Parkersburg Sentinel suggests q
method Of framing One for submission
to the people which has certainly the
virtue Of being less costly than the
holding a convention. While the de-
tails Of the plan proposed may be open
to some objection yet the general
scheme strikes US very fayorably. The
Sentinel says:
"The question Of a new State o
stitution Is disturbing a good many
members Of the Legislature, and vari-
Gus propositions looking to a change
in our organic law is being discussed.
1t is pretty well agreed that the pres
emit constitution, which was good
enough in its day, is no longer suita-
BILE instrument for the purposes it was
intendedtosery Themanyandgreat
changes which have taken place in our
State, the internal developments, in
crease Of population and the growth Of
industries, neeessitate a new constitu-
ton.
But a Constitutional Convention is
not the best way to get at il. A meth
cd far more economical, one Of much
more merit Would be for the Legisla=
ture TO provide by resolution for the
raising of a committee, not exceeding
five in number, who should prepare an
entire new constitution and sub.
init it to the Legislature for their
approval and if approved by that
let it then be submitted to a vote
OF the people as an amendment e
the present constitution. In that way
the enormous expense of a Constitu.
tional Convention would be avoided
and the Sentinel i s'of the opinion tina
