she could not be bride, made up her

for both, and obtained them through
an old peer, but she rapidly lost her

A Remedy for Snake Bites.

The great number of venomous
snakes which abound in Australia
makes it necessary for the inhabitants
to take every precaution against being
bitten, and the treatment of such
wounds forms an essential part of their
education. While was in that coun-
try couple of years ago, the two
little sons of the man with whom was
boarding, went out one day into the
woods to cut some fuel. In gathering
up an armful of brush the younger boy,
who was only ten years old, was bitten
on the finger by one of the most poison
Gus snakes that arc known in that re-
gion. Without even waiting to call to
his brother, who was at work short
distance away, the brave little fellow
took his hatchet and cut off the
wounded finger. after which he ran
home as fast as his legs would carry
him to have his bleeding hand dressed.

These waters are only recommended
for well-kept heads of dry, coarse hair.
For the vast forty thousand who
have not the conveniences for good

be found excellent. When the water
is all over the scalp, rack the hair with
a coarse comb and then brush until the
head is red, hot and clean, and the hair
is dry and fluffy. For naturally oily

methods of dry shampooing.

We must, doubtless, look to the Jews

tive church is so early that it is not
easy to fix time for their beginning.
Some of the most ancient fathers make
mention of them, and through all the
successive ages afterward we find the
use of them continued without any in
terruption. BY constitution of Ed
mund, archbishop of Canterbury, 1886,
and in synod held at Worcester, 1910,
provision was made that there should
be for every male child two godfathers
and one godmother, and for every fe.
male one godfather and two godmoth.

Good Pasture for Hogs.

Galen Wilson, in the Practical Farm
ar, tells how to have pasture for hogs:
Divide your lot into two fields. Sow
one to oats alone at the rate of three
bushels to the acre, as soon as the soil
will answer to work in the spring, and
about the 10th of May SOW the other to
sweet corn, two bushels to the acre.
About the last of June, change the AMI
mails from the oat field to this corn.
Then plow the oat field and sow to
corn in the same way, and change the
hogs back when necessary. IT the
number of hogs is rightly proportioned
to area and fertility of soil there will
be green feed until winter. For this
purpose sweet corn is worth about
fifty per cent. II .nan common field

AMONG THE POULTRY.

DON'T be tempted to keep too many
hens in limited space. A small flock
we'll kept will lay more eggs proper
tionately than will larger flock
crowded for room, and will not make
such large food bill either.
The beautiful light Brahmas are
coming back into favor. What breed
has better table meat, more of it, and
lays more eggs, when they bring
good price? The bodies OF Light
Brahmas are 30 large and warm that
they lay more steadily in winter than
do lighter breeds.
PLYMOUTH Rocks are notable for de-
string frequently to sit. A rotation of
yards, thus keeping their surround
ings somewhat strange, will overcome
the tendency to brood, and insure
steady laying. Another advantage of
having several yards into which the
foods are changed occasionally is that
they may be kept cleaner and more
healthy.
The value of CHATS, short hay and
cut straw is not half appreciated by
poultrymen In keeping their yards and
houses clean as well as in busying the
fowls, thus keeping them out of mis-
chief and giving them exercise. Prem

LIME FOR POULTRY.
II Given 1t All, 1t Must ne Given In .
Diluted Form.

Diluted Form.
The suggestion to give grain soaked
in lime water to poultry is we'll worthy
of quasi condemnation. Animals can.
not live on mineral food, and lime In
this-its natural condition-is ncrid
and injurious. There is no need for It
either, or for the trouble taken in pre-.
pairing the grain. Some fresh bones
with the meat attached, as are thrown
aside by the butchers, especially the
softer and more cellular rib bones,
make the best form in which to give
the lime needed by hens. If It is toe
much trouble to break these with q
hammer on block in the poultry yard,
which has been my practice for years,
the bones may be burned in the kitchen
stove and the ashes given to the fowls
in the yard or in some place to which
they have free access. The waste bones
of the household may be thus turned
to use in the most profitable way, and
a flock of fifty hens will consume all
the waste of a good-sized family. For
large flocks contract should be made
with the local butcher. In this form
the lime is digestible and the phosphoric
acid in the bones will also be valuable.
It is very certain that no indigestible
matter given to hen can help her In
any way to make shells for her eggs,
all the material of which must neces.
sarily pass through the blood before IL
can reach the ovary.
1t Is a common experience among
poultrymen that rape and hemp seed
are useful to the laying hens, and in
crease the number of eggs Now both
these seeds are rich in lime, the ash Of
the former having IA per cent. Of it and
that Of the latter 90 per cent. And In
this regard it might be mentioned that
the seed of the esparcet, which is eater
by fowls with great avidity, has more
than third Of its ash lime. Thus the
culture of this plant, one of the legumi-
nos@, may be recommended as very
useful to poultry-keepers. 1t is q com.
mon crop on the small French farms,
under its common name sainfoin,' and
the fowls eat the whole plant which
like all its family tthe clover) has a
great quantity of lime in 1t. Glover
itself is thus use full to fowls as a green
crop on this account. This is the only
way in which lime can be given to
fowls healthfully. y.-Country Gentle
