FEEDING CHICKENS.
Give Them Few Little Extras LIVER
Once In Awhile.


Once In Awhile.
Feeding little chickens pepper and
salt in their food is of benefit. The salt
seems To give them an appetite and the
pepper Keeps them warm and prevents
many colds and | believe many attacks
of gapes. II you wish To give your
chickens a half-holiday and hear them
giving a concert for pure contentment,
give them two or three wheelbarrow-
loads OF horse manure in a big fiat box,
then stand back one side and see them
enjoy it; this is particularly applicable
TO chickens of considerable growth, and
sober-going old hens do not object To
taking hand in the scratching and
the concert Feed the fowls once or
twice week with corn-meal mixed up
with kerosene oil and water TO the pro-
portion of one dessertspoonful oil To
one pint of water. This is said To be
sure cure for the little white lice that
are so plesome.
Keep the mothers and chicks free
from lice by using insect powder to-
bacco leaves or stems, cedar boughs or
air slabed lime in the nests. More
chicks die from lice from the mother
than from all other causes combined.
Feed thrown into the coop the last
thing at night furnishes them a break
fast as soon as they are awake in the
morning and prevents their running
out in the wet quite SO early We hear
a good deal about tying up a cabbage
head 70 make the hens exercise by
jumping after it. Now my hens are toe
lazy to DO that, but will work from
early dawn until hen bedtime, scratch
ing and singing over the autumn leaves,
chaff and stuff kept on the floor.
Seven-eighths of poultry owners feed
their stock too much. When | get near
the house in daylight and don't hear
the hens singing, | make a descent
upon them and carry off every eatable
thing, and dire famine reigns in that
region until the scratching begins
again in good earnest Then the ra-
tions are carefully kept down until
am sure they have lean streaks enough
TO keep them busy trying to catch up
again. A lazy hen is an abomination,
always wanting to set and bothering
round, thinking her whole duty is done
if she has laid half dozen eggs in a
month. -Farm and Home.

How Pigs Are Foundered.

1t is quite easy TO overfeed, and, as
1t is termed, to founder pigs. All there
is to do is TO give them all the food
they will eat, as they are so greedy as
to eat more than they can digest. Then
tkey become stunted and do not grow,
and, being sick and weak, they soon
become a prey to lice and other vermin.
The remedy when this mistake has
been made is 10 stop the feeding and
give only little for several days until
they recover a proper tone of the stom-
ach. Pigs should never get more than
half as much TODD - they will eat un-
til they are put up for fattening. They
should also get little salt in every
feed about one teaspoonful, olevel, is
enough for large pig. When pigs are
feeding on oak mast they should have
one feed a day of milk slop with lit
Sic bran or meal in it. Two quarts for
a hundred-pound pig are quite enough
under these circumstances.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

OF course every dairy farmer has
laid in a supply of ice for next SUM-
mer's use. 1t is something you need in
your business.
A CREAMERY, when rightly conduct
ed, is blessing To any community, but
1t takes good while COR some farmers
10 see the point.
MUCH has already been said about
the sanitary condition of the cellar,
and now is the time to carefully heed
past advice In that direction.
CREAM sometimes becomes bitter II
raised in pans at a temperature too
low for the milk to sour. Milk in pans
should be sour in thirty-siX hours.
ONE important point in the care of
poultry is sharp grit, and un less fowls
have this grit to properly grind their
grain food sickness will ensue.
KEEP your laying hens busy. That
is. give them exercise by throwing their
grain feed upon the floor and covering
with chaff, cut straw and the like.
HAVE all kinds of seeds ready so
there will be no delay when planting
time comes. 1t is good plan to try
the seeds and be sure they will grow.
ECONOMY in feeding the animals
while the farm tools are exposed and
rusting is more extravagant than any
system of reducing expenses with
stock.
THERE is not an overproduction of
everything. Some crops may be album
dant. but there will always be some
thing of which the supply is less than
the demand.
EARLY peas are hardy and can stand
light frost, hence the land should oe
ready for the seed early in the season.

WOMEN AS FARMERS.
Many of Them Have Been Successful Be-
Yond ENpectatIon.

Many of Them Have Been Successful Be-
yond Expectation.
The state of Michigan has an un-
usually large number of women en-
gagged in agriculture, due, probably, to
the fact that in the fruit belts the Gull
ture of small fruits is especially adapt
ed TO the work of careful women, need
ing scrupulous cleanliness, close atten-
ton to detail and economy of manage
ment so necessary 70 success. OF
course, many women are farmers be-
cause they were left by father or hus-
band with farm on their hands, yet
there is an increasing number turn
ing deliberately 10 farming as a voca-
ton as the problem of how to make a
living confrouts them.
1t is said that few women have ever
failed who have seriously attempted to
make living from the products Of the
soil, fact perhaps not strange when
we consider that deliberate choice OF
the profession of agriculture would
scarcely be made by woman unless
she had a real love for the work which
implies some knowledge of its prin-
ciples-
1t is a vocation capable of immense
possibilities, and for healthy woman
of executive ability and some business
training, there is no better field. Sew
eral cattle ranches in the far west are
successfully run by women, and the
states of California and Florida are
dotted everywhere by attractive places
where woman is the presiding genius
outdoors as we'll as within the walls of
the bright home. Dairying is yearly
attracting more women. 1t is a bust
ness paying rich rewards for careful,
intelligent labor. Faithfulness, kind
ness and cleanliness, traits common
more to women than men, will prove
most effective in business that pro-
duces goods that rise, rather than fall,
in times of financial depression. Butter,
milk and cheese. if of high grade, are
ever in increasing demand at full prices.
Best of all, if woman succeeds in
this difficult profession, her work must
be judged from mans standpoint
Farming is essentially a mans occu-
patton, and she will be counted as a
successful worker entirely independent
from so-called woman's work. Woman-
kind.

which is also the result of q woman's
wit, is very simply-constructed chair
designed for the purpose of carrying o
patient from the bed TO the sofa. or
from room TO room. 1t consists of
strips of canvas which are easily
slipped under patient and when
lifted form a canvas chair, either in
an upright position or a recumbent

doubt the very best yet discovered for
moving an invalid, as it entails no ex-
ertion whatever on the part of the suf-
ferer and is n boon in the way of
changing the physical and moral at
mosphere for brief space.
Apart from the suffering, one of the
greatest trials TO bear in a long illness
is the dead monotony of being shut up
within limited space of four walls;
however attractive and cheerful the
room may be, a change to one of less
agreeable aspect and surroundings
brings with il sense of repose and
rest. Many invalid chairs have been
patented, but all of them necessitate
more or less exertion, or a disturbance
on the part of the patient.

Do You Fold Your Napkin

There is great deal of uncertainty
as TO whether it is or is not the thing
TO fold the napkin after formal meal.
If one is staying in the house and
knows that napkin rings are in use, it
seems a reflection upon that custom to
fling the napkin down in an untidy
heap. An elegantly-appointed table
deserves better treatment, even at the
end of the meal, than those disheveled
piles of drapery, too. Therefore it al
ways seems fittest to simply half fold
the napkin, and not attract attention
TO ii either by one obtrusive habit or
the other.

THE WORKING DRESS.
Why 1t should lie simply Made and Com.
fortabiy Fitted.


1t is good thing for housekeepers
that the skirt and blouse styles of
dress are in such general use. These
loose styles of waists are much more
convenient in working than the tight
fitting waist, which in wash fabric
is so apt to shrink and get out Of
shape.
A light quality of American flannel
of dark cloth color is the most suitable
material for working dresses, though
some housekeepers use firm. good
quality of cambria or gingham in win
ter as well as summer. In either case,
whether the working dress is made of
wool or cotton, it should be simply
made and comfortably fitted, and
made so that it may be easily washed.
The best design is skirt with plain
hem, with possibly few tucks above
it, and for the bodice some variety of
the blouse waist which is made with
out lining, so that it may be worn
over u close-fitting underwaist. The
varieties of this comfortable under
waist are so great that styles may be
found becoming to stout as well as
slender figures. In neat dress of this
kind, with "A white apron at hand 20

is made in the shape of an egg. Cut two
pieces of cardboard any size you may
desire, cover neatly with ecru or white
linen, and after this is done sew the
two pieces together. The decoration,
which consists of violets with their
leaves and buds, can be either en-
broidered or painted. If embroidered
the flowers should be worked in two
or three shades of the violet silks,
with tiny French knot of gold-col-
ored silk in the center of each. EN-
broider the stems in varied shades OF
green, bronze and gray greens; these
arc exceedingly pretty and harmoni-

broidered before the linen is put over
the cardboard. If painting is pre-
ferred it is more easily accomplished
after the pincushion is finished, as
there will then be no danger of rub
bling the painting. Place pins all
round the edge of the egg, and finish
