To fatten fowls quickly confine in a
small, warm coop, which must be kept
clean, and particular care taken that
the birds to be fattened are absolutely
free from lice. Feed on cornmeal
mixed with boiling water in the morn
ing, at noon and night with whole
corn. Give all they can eat up clean,
but allow none to be wasted 1t is
useless to try and fatten weak, sickly
fowl. 1t is waste of time, labor and
food. The hatchet is the best remedy
in such cases. New York World.

CONSTRUCTION OF A STABLE.

The first requisite of a stable for
horses or cows is convenience for the
handling and the safety of the ami
mails. The loose stall, not so small
that motion is difficult, and large
enough that the animal can turn
around without discomfit, is the best,
but it requires more room than the Or
dinary stall. Nine by seven feet is
large enough for a horse or COW.
The common stall should not be larger
than five feet for horse or four feet
for COW, which gives ample space for
comfortable movement, and is safer
than if wider. The tie should not be
SO long that the animal may get foot
over it and be thrown serious po-
sition for horse or COW to be in. The
stanchion is not n comfortable fasten-
ing for COW; the sliding ring, with
a short chain fitted to stout strap
around the neck, and sliding on an up
right bar on one side of the stall, or
horizontal one in front OF the feeding
trough is the safest and most comfort
able. The COWS are fastened by a
snap hook to q ring in the neck strap
and to ring on the bar. During
many years use of this method of fas-
tening in large dairies no accident has
happened by COWS getting loose. OF
course, it is necessary to exercise eau
ton to see that the fastenings are safe
before leaving the stable at night

WHERE TO LOCATE THE POULTRY HOUSE.
The one consideration of greater i'm
portance than all others in deciding
the location of the poultry house is
the character of the soil. OF two To-
cations-one the best grass run lin
the world, but stiff clay soil, the
other a sandbank where grasshopper
would starve-l would select the lat
ter. The want of a grass run can be
overcome, the cold, sticky clay, mud
pudding in wet time, and hard baked
as brick in dry times, cannot. The
main item in the expense account of
the poultryman is labor; every step
saved i'll doing the work is 20 much
gained. Yet between two locations,
one wet and the other dry, the dry
one should be selected, even if it en-
tails many more steps; the losses
which would occur from having the
house in the location would great
deal more than pay for the extra
labor. These losses would come from
several sources, chiefly in impaired
health and consequent unproductive-
ness of the flock. Many would be
sick, necessitating constant care, eggs
would be few, chicks Matched would
lack vigor, die or make slow growth
and under sized fowls, in fact there
would have to be constant struggle
to offset the effect of the wet soil.
The sandy soil dries quickly after a
rain, snow melts more quickly, 1T
warns quickly in the sun, every
shower purifes it by washing all i'm
purities through 1t. Better have no
fowls than to try to keep them on wet
or heavy clay land. New England

SERVANTS ON INSTRUMENTS.
It Takes Six In Guatemala to Do the Work
of One Girl Here.

1t Takes Six In Guatemala to Do the Work
of One Girl Here.
The American woman, when she
grumbles at the generality of servants,
doesn't know when she is well off. II
she could spend a year at housekeeping
in Guatemala she would come back to
the United States and pass the rest Of
her life in peace and cOntentment, says
the New York Journal.
In Guatemala the servants are either
Indians or half-breeds. They will live
on black beans and tCrtillaS, and as to
wages, they are content for Il month
with what servant girl receives here.
But no American housekeeper would
feel inclined to charge a servant board.
You hire Guatemala woman, for in
stance, as a cook. Then you must hire
q man to keep the fire going. If he Is
away, the cook will let her fire go out
sooner than debase her dignity by put
ting on more fuel. A third servant
must be furnished to put the crude
articles of food into shape for handling
by the cook. A fourth is needed to do
all the carrying. Still another must
do the dish washing.
Altogether, half-dozen servants are
needed to get an ordinary breakfast for
three or four persons. A bright, In
telligent, sturdy servant in this cOun-
try would accomplish the same feat all
by herself in an hour or less. 1t is
comparatively inexpensive to maintain
household of twelve or fifteen SER
wants in Guatemala, but they are ter
rible trial to an American woman.
