How tn Meet tho Individuality OF tn.
Childish Members of the Household.
! The home-circle is a unit of love ant
harmony. composed of varying dis
positions. No two faces are exactly
alike. No two spirits perfectly resem
bic each other. The parents have
doubtless felt this difficulty many
times: 'Hovv can we best adapt our
. training and government to agree with
and develop our children's diversified
nattlres?''
The problem, as stated above, is not
easy of solution. Some children need
very little correction, but any amount
OF stimulus. Others overflow with
abounding vigol, but the vigor some.
times takes wrong directions and mars
their prospects. The grand ia theirs
temper will assert itself in John, need
ing strong restraint; while Mary, low
ing and patient, is too easy-going and
must be urged forward. The more
gifted and original the family is, the
more probable is it that these marked
contrasts will be found. One child's
mental and moral food will prove an
others poison. And wise, loving care
OF our little ones and growing boys
and girls is much exercised as to how
1T must best adapt itself to changing
needs.
The easiest way to do this is to make
q study of every member of .your fami-
~ circle. keen-sighted love is intui-
tive and can more easily discern the
hidden depths of Johns or Mary's
heart than any other method. Such a
study of your boy and girl will lead
to the understanding of them; and
when this much is accomplished, the
greater part of the problem is solved.
1t is safe to assert that where training
Is at fault the parents Lack, not love,
but knowledge. They love we'll, but
not wisely. For it should be remem-

in teaching the child that it must obey,
but the lesson is necessary for the ad-

is the love of bencvolence.
Another fond mother, ardent but

THE POULTRY BUSINESS.

Fowls Cannot He Neglected without Doc
creasinE the Income.
The poultry business rs enjoying
something of boom. There is grow,
ing interest in it. People are learnt ng
that it is a source of ready profit and q
bank that can be drawn upon at almost
any time. They are learning that while
fowls cannot be neglected and be
profitable, that after all they need no
more attention than they will repay.
and repay we'll. They are learning
that good fowls are just readily OBJ
tanned and reared as poor ones; that q
hen will lay eggs if she is given any
thing to make egg out of, and is kept
comfortable, and they arc more and
more conforming their management to
these necessary conditions. Farmers
are getting better breeds; they nre
building more convenient and more
comfortable houses, and they are feed
ing more scientifically. Whoever does
these things will be pleased with the
results The hen, like the cow, must
be kept comfortable, and the rule
should be stated and compliance with
it urged often in the case of the
COW. Poultry that in summer is per-
mitted to roast in a hot poultry house
or run. or is forced nearly to freeze In
winter, can do nothing. In summer
time as comfortable place as can 6e
prepared should be prepared for the
hens. The poultry house in hot
weather, while it affords shade, is like
an oven. In cold weather the house
should be warm. A cold hen will not
lay. The farmer has the best chan re in
the world to make poultry pay. He
has variety of food at hand, wheat.
corn and vegetables. He may need to
buy bones. Green bones pulverized
are the best. but the purchased bone
meal is good. In winter corn is best at
night, and the fowl should have a gem
erous night meal if it has not full
meal at any other time of the day, for
the fast from roosting time until morn
ing is a long one But the feeding
should be generous oil the time, with q
variety of foods. There is much neg
lect in the matter of providing good
water for fowls This should not be.
Pure water is an essential. and to pro-
vide it only needs n very little exertion.

Sheep and Hogs on the Farm


In answer to an inquiry as to how
many hogs and sheep can be kept on a
farm of $50 acres, the Ohio Farmer
says: An acre of good pasture will, keep
five to ten sheep the summer through,
depending upon the season and kind OF
sheep. Stephen Powers says he has
kept twenty three sheep in good con-
dition on three acres. nearly all SUM
mcr. You will need two pounds of hay
per day and soy a pound Of grain, per
head. for winter. From these data,
and taking into consideration the ca
pacity of the land to produce grain, the
area in orchard, woodland, etc. and
the amount of other stock kept, You
can estimate pretty closely how many
sheep you can keep. On $50 acres, with
80 acres plowed, 30 acres in woodland,
s acres for buildings, garden. ETC..
keeping horses. 3 or cows, and rails
ing a litter or two of pigs, 100 large
sheep or $50 Merinos are enough.

Cheap Grslus for Poultry.

Grain may be cheap, but it is costly
food it it is used exclusively for tho
laying hens in winter, for the reason
that while grain cannot be excelled for
keeping the hens warm, it will not
supply them with egg-forming ma
terial, and if fed very literally it causes
them to become too fat. 1t is not an
uncommon occurrence for farmers to
meet with disappointment in not pro-
curing eggs, although they supplied
grain literally. and yet if less grain
and a proportion of meat had been
given the hens they would perhaps
have done better and allowed q profit.
We do not condemn grain. but we adj
