Why Hens Don't Law.

In order to coax hens to lay this
winter, there must be good, warm
hen house for them, and we'll lighted.
Fifty fowls are enough to keep over,
and forty seven of them should be
good laying hens. They should be
kept in their own house, and not be
allowed to roost and roam over the
farm, in the severest weather.
Gravel is what they lack in winter,
and that lack should be supplied by
burnt clam shells, broken dishes pound
ed fine, and burnt bones, with coal
ashes and road dust for dust bath.
Water should be kept always near,
and a hot stone or iron put in on
cold days to keep the pan from freez.
ing. Then with plenty OF good screen
ings and corn, crumbs from the table,
and few cabbage leaves, dried grass,
and old meat bones to pick, there Is
no excuse for them.
Hens love to hide away in some
quiet spot, hidden from view, and a
few hours work will provide these.

Short Notes,

1.-THE business hen makes a busy
nest"
If you have old hens or hens that
moulted late, do not expect eggs till
the last of March.
If the combs Of your hens become
frozen, do not expect them to lay till
the combs are healed
You do not need more land until
what you now have is made to pro-
duce to it's fullest capacity.
The dairy schools at our agricultu-
raj colleges, and the dairy classes at
the Institutes, should have an especi-
al attraction for our girls. The dairy
is the portion Of the farm that is
woman's especial province.
The more farmer produces from
given area-the more prosperous he
will be. The expenses will not in
crease in proportion to the yield.
The added expense comes when you 20
to increasing the area for agiven yield.
II you have money to spend for
new improvements this year, how
would it do to put in good platform
scales? By their use you can know
all the time how your feedingi is paying,
and you cannot know in any other
way.
Barley is deserving of more atten-
ton than it receives ss a stock iced.
Ground, and cooked with skim milk
and little oil meal, it is excellent
grain for calves. The crop might be
largely increased with profit and used
for feeding
Ensilage is none the less valuable if
there is an occasional ear of corn on
it. In fact, it is just as well to plant
and cultivate the snsilags corn SO
that it will make ears. Then it be-
comes an important factor in lessen
ing the expense for the grain ration.

ems. Some u them who keep fancy
fowls have made as high % 1851 per
head fer their birds. All agree that
the past season was q remarkably
hard one to raise chickens, and that
the death rate among young birds has
been high, reducing the profit.
Dressing Poultry for Market.
Chicago merchants give the follow
ing directions for those sending dressed
fowl OF any kind to large cities: Kill
by bleeding in the mouth or opening
the veins Of the neck; hang by the feet
until properly bled. Leave head and
feet on and do not remove intestines
or crop. Scalded chickens sell best to
home trade and dry-picked best to
shippers. Either manner will do If
properly executed.
For scalding chickens, have tho
water as near the boiling point as
possible, without actually boiling;
pick the legs dry before scalding; hold
by head and legs and immense and lift
up and down two or three times; if the
head is submerged it turns the color of
the comb and gives the eye sunken
appearance. which leads buyers to
think the fowl has been sick; remove
the feathers and pin feathers immedi-
ately, very clearly and without break
the skin; plump" by first dipping
ten seconds in water nearly or quite
boiling hot, and then Immediately in
to cold water afterwards; hang in a.
cool place until the animal heat is:
entirely out. To dry-pick chickens.
properly, do the work while the fowls,
are bleeding; for it is so much more;
easily done while the bodies are
warm.

HAIR CLOTH VS.. CRINOLINE.
AN ANNOUNCEMENT CREDITED TO
MRS. CLEVELAND CAUSES A RUSH.

Few Hair Cloth Dealers Can Now Sup
ply the Demand and a New York
Firm Has socurea Corner on the
Market.
CHICAGO, March 2s.-The Tribute this
morning has the following: The an
nouncement credited to Mrs. Cleveland
that she would use hair cloth instead of
crinoline has had the effect to create
such a demand for hair cloth that the
merchants are unable to supply the de
mand. A reporter interviewed a number
of buyers in leading retail stores yester-
day as to the correctness of the report
and the reason for the high rate of ad-
vance Without exception the response
was given:
"Hsir cloths have gone up 80 per cent
in less than six weeks. Qualities that
we were selling for 30 cents now retail
for 45 and so cents. White hair cloth
has gone from 65 cents per yard to 50
cents and ST."
''Is the statement correct that one firm
has secured a corner on the market and
is controlling the pricel'
Yes, was the reply, "but we don't
care to say by whom. We can secure
what we want and will be able to supply
the demand There would no doubt
have been an advance any way. Dress
makers are six weeks behind with their
work because Of the radical change and
customers have delayed in ordering until
there was a more settled opinion as to the
prevailing style 1t is an extravaganza,
and if the people want it they have to
pay for the style
The buyers at other houses stated that
the firm of Henry Newman & Co., of
New York city, had corner on the mar
ket and all their hair cloths were bought
of them.
They have a man in Europe who al
ticipated the demand and he has secured
everything We have hadso little call
for it and all at once the demand has
been more than the factories could
supply"
"Will there be a substitute for hail
cloth 2"
Eyes we have ordered linen crinOlins
which is not so expensive and will serve
the purpose just as well
Modistes who have Just returned from
Paris said that hair cloth was not USED
by Worth, Doucet or Felix. Soft crino
line was preferred, although they woulc
try few dresses with hair cloth a.

had been sent to Governor Jones the
night before with Locke's proposition
and that nothing would be done until
Wednesday by which time they ex.
pected to hear from the governor and
would act as he directed. This was not
satisfactory to Locke and his people and
they declared the armistice at an end
Saving the Women and Children.
The matter looked as if the crisis had
come There was strong sentiment in
favor of attacking the militia at once.
Locke decided not to attack but to move
out of town, where, in case of battle,
the lives of women, children and disin-
terested parties would not be imperilled
SO yesterday afternoon wagon was
loaded with provisions and Locke's
forces left Antlers and went East.
They would not say where they were
going, but it is believed that they have
crossed the Kiamitia river and have
struck camp on the mountains.
They Are My Friends"
Locke was interviewed by the News
correspondent. He said he wanted
peace. His home. his wife and children
were all at Antlers; his business wa:
there, and these troubles were a great
annoyance and loss to him. Asked why
he did not give the men over to the

killed. They are my friends and l viii
