AMONG THE POULTRY.

BOILED eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
If the hens are well cared for while
molting they will lay before winter.
A LAYING hen should never be SO fat
as to proven the gizzard from being
easily felt.
MIXING cornmeal with boiling water
partly cooks it and makes it better than
if fed raw.
SELL off the surplus cockerels and
the late-hatched pullets that will not
lay until spring.
WHENEVER the fowls pick up their
food lazily, grain or two at a time,
there is something wrong.
CoRNMEAL and sweet potatoes cooked
together for their breakfast makes a
good fattening ration for turkeys.
THE style of the house is not so inn
portant as it is to have plenty of sun
light, a dry floor and no direct
draught
THE principal objection to allowing
guineas to hatch out their own eggs is
that the young guineas are apt to be
wild and manageable.
1T is good rule to market all poul-
try as soon as it is fully ready. Chick
ems, ducks. turkeys and geese should
be fattened as rapidly as'possible and
sold as soon as ready.
The medium-sized breeds are gener-
ally the more robust and can look out
for the nselves better. For this reason
they are better adapted to the farm
than the very large or the very small
breeds.
IT is not good plan to kill or sell
the largest, haudsonest or best of the
fowls. either of ducks, geese. chickens
or turkeys Select them out and keep
them for breeders next winter. This
is the most economical plan of improv-
ing.
EXPERIENCE has proven that for egg
production the early-hatched pullets
and the more vigorous of the two year
old hens are the best Then your old
hens sometimes pay, but it is an ex-
ceptional case when older hens than
these will pay for their keeping
through the winter.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

DOMESTIC concERhs.

-Cucumbers: Cut large cucumbers
into rounds; place on ice; serve with
salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. Toma-
toes may be prepared in the same man
ner.-Harper's Bazaar.
Dried Pumpkins: Cut the pumpkin
in thin strips. peel it and string the
pieces on strong cord. Put them
where the flies can not get at them and
let them remain until dry.-Farm and
Fireside.
Cooling Room: Wet a cloth OF
any size, the larger the better, and
suspend it in the room. Let the ven-
tilation be good. and the temperature
will sink ten or fifteen degrees in less
than one hour.-Leeds Mercury.
Raspberry Mater Ice: Press suf-
hcient berries through fine hair
sieve, to give three pints of juice, and
add one pound of pu1verized sugar and
the juice of one lemon. turn into q
freezer and freeze. Judd
Farmer
Economical Icing: One teacup of
sugar and third of cup of new
milk; put on the stove and stir until it
comes to boil. let cook five minutes,
take off the stove. set in cold water
and beat until thick. Flavor and

-Pot-Cheese Salad: Begin by making
your mayonnaise. and arrange your
lettuce leaves on a large, fat dish.
Break, with the bowl of spoon, the
pot-cheese into small crumbs, and
when this is done, moisten it gradual
ly with the mayonnaise dressing
rubbing and blending it all together
into a creamy mass. When the pot-
cheese has reached this state, drop a
tablespoonful of it upon each lettuce
leaf. Set the dish on the ice long
enough to chill the contents thor
oughly, and serve.-Home.
Red Current Jelly: Mash the raw
fruit thoroughly or put through fruit
press, then strain through a flannel
bag. Measure the juice and put into
porcelain-lined kettle. Let the juice
boil hard ten minutes, then skim thor
oughly. Then put into the kettle one
pound crushed or cut loaf sugar to each
pint of juice, and after it comes to the
boiling point let boil five minutes
longer, then skim and strain into your
glasses, and let them stand uncovered
over night. Many persons heat the
currants before pressing and strain
ing the first time, but 1 have found
such jelly more apt to be cloudy than
when the fruit is pressed and strained
raw. White currant jelly is made ex-
actly the same way. but black currant
jelly needs to be cooked ten minutes
after the sugar is put in.-Western
Rural.

ABOUT YOUR HAIR.

CURLs denote feeble sense of right
and wrong, gayety, vivacity, self-conf-
dence.
COARSE, dark brown, uneven hair,
straight or crisp, small curls, means
innate vulgarity.
STRAIGHT black hair growing coarse
and thick indicates more order and in
dustry than mental power.
HAIR and eyebrows differing in color
are said to mean untrustworthiness.
They indicate race mixture and bespeak
a wavering, unsteady nature.
AS A rule, smooth, fine, softly waving,
hair betokens gentleness, quietness,
neatness. Unduly sleek, straight hair
gives warning of slyness, Hypocrisy.
FINE brown hair only accompanies
excellent minds and generally the
owner has intellectual tendencies.
Beautiful golden hair is rarely seen on
persons of gross nature. Its owner
sensibilities.
GLOSSY black hair inclined to wave
or curl means keen perceptions and
usually a cautious, secretive nature.
Black hair in general shows stolidity, a
wiry constitutions; and curly, coarse
black hair indicates irritabi1ity and
stupidity.
STRAIGHT hair indicates more power
to govern than curly hair. It accom-
panies people who are straight, erect
in walking, whose bodies exhibit
straight lines and angles rather than
curves and who possess mental char
acter to correspond.
CURLY-HAIRED people are more sinu-

the possession of Judgment, though
lacking ready wit and invention.
Straight, fair hair indicates general

CLEANING CLOTHES.

How Coat and Trousers Can BE Renewed
limo and Again.
The chemistry of cleaning clothes is
set forth in a scientific magazine, and,
while women will care little for the
technical part of the operation. the
story of the actual process suggests a
useful modus operandi Take, for in
stance, a shiny old coat. vest or pair OF
trousers of black broadcloth, cashmere
or diagonal. The scourer makes a
strong. warm soap suds and plunges
the garment into it, souses it up and
down, rubs the dirty places, and, if
necessary, puts it through second
time. then rinses it through several
waters, and hangs it up to dry on the
line. When nearly dry he takes it in,
rolls it up for an hour or two
and then presses it. An old
cotton cloth is laid on the outside of
the coat, and the iron is pressed over
that until the wrinkles are out, but
the iron is removed before the steam
ceases to rise from the goods, else they
would be shiny.
Wrinkles that are obstinate are re-
moved by laying wet cloth over them
and pressing the iron over that. If
any shiny places are seen. they are
treated as the wrinkles are-the iron
is lifted while the full cloud of steam
rises up. and brings the nap with it.
Cloths should always have a suds
made especially for them. as in that
which has been used for white cotton
or wooden cloth lint will be left in the
water. and will cling to the cloth.
In this manner the same coat and
trousers can be renewed time and
again and have all the look and feel of
new garments. Good broadcloth and
its fellow-cloths will Bear many wash.

RENEWING THEIR YOUTH
A Strange Story from q Nebraslra

From the World Herald Omaha. Ne6
A World-Herald reporter was attracted by
the evidence of renewed activity Of some OF
the older inhabitants of the village of Bruce,
o suburb Of Omaha, Neb., and enquired the
cause. Mr.. Andrew Finkenkeler, who was
q member of Company B Of the First Iowa
Volunteers during the war made the follow
ing explanation so far as he himself Is con-
cerned:
.'In July, 1886, while my company was on
the march through to Austin, Texas, was
attacked with rheumatism of the worst
kind in one leg at Alexander, La. Being
weak was sunstruck and remained ur-
conscious for several hours. Every sum-
mer since have been unable to stand the
heat of the sun, and have been compelled to
give up my work. There was in my head
q bearing-down feeling which increased
until it seemed my head would burst, and
it caused a ringing in my ears, and palpita-
ton of the heart set in, so that the slightest
noise would set my heart humping. Sew
eral times it has rendered me unconscious
for from seven to ten hours at time. In
addition to this the rheumatism extended
up my entire side until it drew my head
down on my shoulder. I lost my strength
and flesh and was totally unfit for work.
physicians ard taken their prescriptions
without deriving any material benefit. My
ailments increased in intensity until was
assured that there was no hope for me- Dur

Profit In Mutton Sheep.

Mutton sheep have received more at
tention on the farm during the last
five years than at any previous time.
In the effort to produce wool the better
qualities of sheep were overlooked. and
the mutton and lamb supply was not
only short. but the quality inferior.
Farmers who have endeavored to mar
ket choice meat from sheep have been
well paid and the use of the mutton
breeds is increasing. Sheep can strongly
compete with steers, if care is exer-
cised in securing breeds that grow rap
idly and produce large carcasses of
choice mutton.
