OUR PET BLUEJAY.

Jay was kidnapped when in appear
ance he was about as prepossessing as a
toadsprouting with pinfeathers. Butin
short time his body was clothed in a
full suit of beautiful gray blue and black
feathers. and his ways are very interest
ing and cunning. He takes his food
readily from our fingers. showing no
sign of fear. He eats vegetables, fruit,
crackers, cake, ETC., but is especially fond
of rice. Peanuts are much relished also.
1t is amusing to see him open one. He
holds it on the perch with both feet and
hammers it with his powerful beak-
which is hammer and chisel in one
with such force that if he should miss
aim and strike one Of his toes it would
be liable to disable him for time.
He keeps busy all day long, hopping
from perch to perch, from side to side,
poking the remains of each meal into
corners and under the cage furniture,
and hammering it to stay.
His cage is large, wooden frame COW
cred with wire screen, and along the
edges, between frame and screen, he
hides his treasures, which have to be
dug out from time to time. He bathes
in pint basin, and the spray he makes
is equal to lawn sprinkler.
He has very pretty song of his own,
is something of mimic. and in weeks
time learned to whistle whip poor will''

close to us, against the screen, and list

toire from his highest to his lowest reg
lister. People passing wonder where
that whip -poor-will can be. or il there is
a hooking bird about. They never
guess it is a versatile bluejay. The
clinking of the dishes at meal times
usually starts him singing. l dare say
his music aids digestion.
The first time we let him out he
seemed little frightened, taking little
hopping fits, flirting his wings as if to
see what they we're for. He flew upon
the kitchen washstand, drummed on the
washbasin. then pecked into the yellow
soap, leaving quite hole in it. The
taste was not pleasant to him judging by
the way he snapped his head. Then he
attempted wholesale slaughter of the
sponge.

unclean birds terribly suggestive? The
song birds were surely all brooded and
Matched in the human heart. They are
typical OF it's highest aspirations. and
nearly the whole gamut of human pas
sion and emotion is expressed more or
less fully in their varied songs. Among
our own birds, there is the song of the
hermit thrush for devoutness and relig-
ious serenity; that of the wood thrush
for the musing. melodious thoughts of
twilight; the song-sparrow's for simple
faith and trust; the bobolink's for hilar-
ity and glee; the mourning doves for
hopeless sorrow; the vireo's for all-day
and every day contentment, and the
nocturn of the hooking bird for love.
Then there are the plaintive singers, the
soaring, ecstatic singers. the confident
singers. the gushing and voluble singers.
and the half.voiced, inarticulate singers.

POULTRY.

Be positive that your eggs will not be
disturbed during the period of incuba-
ton. When feeding the brood by no
means let any sour food be in the coops
and move the coops often to fresh spots,
for the deposits of chickens are poison
GUS to them. It is not we'll to let the
chickens run about in the mornings un-
til the dew has dried away.
On the majority of farms are yet to be
found nothing but mongrel fowls; the
pleasure of raising thoroughbreds is SO
much greater than is that in caring for
the common mixed poultry. and the
profit is certainly more. Generally this
is due to the needless way we do much
OF our work, and will be remedied in due
time.
Many women are becoming interested
in poultry who have before been utterly
weary of the drudgery OF the farm, for
it not only interests them, but brings
them many dollar Of their own. 1t is
certainly wise move when they turn
over the heated kitchen to hired help
and give themselves little of the de-
light of outdoor life.
The care Of the fowls is not only rest
and recreation to many of our wives and
daughters. but it is medicine itself to
scores who have been seeking for health
and strength through other means in
vain. just tie occupancy Of the mind
with an interesting and profitable pur-
suit is much to those who have been
pining under enforced confinement all
their lives.
In selecting fowls to prepare for the
early spring market, avoid the large and
bony varieties. but choose those which
have plumpness and early feathering
qualities along with their growth, as they
mature early. The Asiatics will not do
this unless Matched before the winter is
over. and this is risky.
Plymouth Rocks and the Asiatics have
too much bone at expense of the muscle
to be wholly profitable, and are not
fully ready for market until 10 months
old. Among good flesh makers are the
Dorkings, Houdans, Games, Spanish and
Hamburgs. For very early broilers the
little Leghorns are we'll adapted, even
when used as crosses.
One great point in favor of artifcially
Matched chickens is that they rarely
have bug or insect upon them. This
alone helps to reduce the loss by death,
and aids in bringing them up strong and
healthy. Too often the nest in which
chickens are Matched is SO foul with
parasites that the chicks have but little
chance to get start in the world.
1t is always profitable for the farmer
to have good flock of fowls on the place,
but with these, just IS with any other
live stock, it is the best sorts which pay
best. Blooded fowls and blooded cattle
are all in the same line, and the one will
pay as we'll in proportion to the increased
cost in the start as the other.

dead Tired. -

Are you busy. worried woman, who
comes home at night with temples throb-
bling, and every muscle aching from ia
tigue? II am dead tired, and haven't
the ambition to dress or even comb my
hair for the evening" Then you lounge
about and go to bed about nine o'clock
with your head still aching, and your
limbs just as tired as when you came
in. The next time you feel that way,
just slip off the waist of your gown, brush
your hair up on the top of your head
and battle the back of your neck with
hot water. When the pain is little re-
lieved, wash your face with the same re-
viver. and by the time that is done you
will feel like brushing your hair and
fixing up bit. or we are very much
mistaken. The hot water cure is quite
as efficacious taken externally as intern
ally.

HORSES.

To the careful thinker it does look as
if there will be time in the very near
future when horses, young and vigorous.
with plenty of size, good bone, good car
riage and of good constitution. will be
scarce even in our horse raising districts.
There is scarcity of yearlings and young
horse stock as compared with former
recent years.
If the farmer is content to raise the
small horse for his own use he must not
complain by and by that he can not sell
him. On the other hand, if he breeds
for the heavy draft market, experience
shows that he will get enough small and
medium horses to use, while the extra
large animals will always sell readily.
Never get the idea that any old hack
will do for brood mare; she should be
an animal of intelligence and a good
specimen physically. Then il the same
rule is observed 10 selecting the sire,
and the ancestors of both are we'll looked
to. you may expect colt which will pay
for the raising, but not otherwise.
There is over production in every
grade of farm stock excepting draft
horses, and these buyers are eagerly
hunting; there is a top price for those
weighing 1900 or more, for the cities
must have them, and have them now.
Why will farmers persist in raising that
which they know will not sell?
Knee action enters SO prominently into
the driving and coaching horse markets
now that the Hackney has taken a front
rank. and their importations are stead
lily increasing in both Eastern and the
Western States.
The principal reason for regular and
thorough grooming is that the health Of
the horse requires that the pores of the
skin be kept open by removing the dust
and secretions, and that the muscles be
rubbed which would not otherwise be
we'll exercised.
For exclusive farm work the medium

Time was when the nations raised {

the regulation army horse is drawn
from the ranks Of the industrial breeds
and is always of large size and great en-
durance. 1t is the same we import To-

DAIR y.

The majority offarmers should depend
upon raising their own dairy stock. This
should be done more cheaply than cows
i. could be bought, especially at the pres
sent time. Another advantage is that
the heifers can be raised in proper
manner and adapted to the rarm, which
could not come from frequent changes
in ownership.
1t is great gain that heifers are usual
ly now as good at two years old as they
formerly were at three. To reach this,
they must be well cared for from the
first; kept healthy and growing; fed
such things as will foster growth OF bone
and muscle rather than fat, remember.
ing that milk is the natural food for
the young calf. They should be mixers
at two.
Progressive husbandry" is by no
means meaningless phrase, hobby of
the theorist and of no practically to the
farmer himself. By the invention of the
butter extractor alone we get rid
of every old fashioned implement
and utensil between the milk pail
and the butter package, and are relieved
of vast amount of labor and trouble. to
say nothing of the anxiety.
1t is established that ration rich in
albuminoids will induce a richer milk,
and consequently better yield of but
ter. In feeding succulent food the
cream will usually separate more readily
from the milk. and the butter globules
from the cream, leaving less fat in the
buttermilk. 1t behooves the dairyman
to give less heed to his grievance at
prices and pay more attention to the
profits. This, moreover, should be ap-
piled to every branch of agriculture.
Lessen the cost of production in every
way. and both price and profit will large
ly take care of themselves.
When the farmer or dairyman warns
the water for his COWS. he is likely also
to do several other things, such as max.
their quarters warmer, paying closer at
tention to feeding. etc. When paying
strict attention to one detail other i'm
provements in methods are apt 10 follow,
and greater results gained than had been
thought of.
If cows drink even a few more pounds
of water day because it is warmed, the
increase in milk will be manifest in like
proportion. A relative gain follows an
increased consumption Of water, wheth-
or warmed or not, and il is said that the
gain is a pound of milk for each 10
pounds of water
Milk, in the addition to the great
feeding properties of the Shorthorns,
has given them great advantage over
other beef breeds. They are the most
universal dairy cow in the country, al
though their dairy qualities have been
but poorly developed. Good dairy
qualities develop good calves, as milk is
! the best food for the young stock.

AGRICULTURE.

1t is hopeful sign Of the times that
agriculture is more and more calling to
it's aid the highest talent, and that mer
OF rare attainments are devoting Their
time to Investigations designed to pro
mote it's progress. and that the wise and
practical farmer is ready and anxious to
avail himself of their teachings. Our
public schools and our farmers institu
tes are making of this new era.
Money is not necessary prerequisite
to good farming. If the young yeomar
has good health. energy and intelligence
to begin with, the future will take care
of itself in vast majority of cases.
The man who knows and appreciates
just when to use the roller and the har
row upon the ground for it's best good
and the good of his crop, is we'll abreast
Of the best thought Of the age in matters
of soil tillage.
Bugs and other pests of the insect
creation are supposed to have had a
sorry time of it during the past severe
winter, but it will be the better part OF
wisdom to keep an eye out for the usual
signs of their depredations. The bug
crop never fails.
The farmer who takes best care of bis
hedge fence, we have long observed, ie
the man who has the best word for that
much slandered institution of the farm
Neglect will breed contempt for any.
thing in our possession.
At the agricultural experiment station
at Champaign, Illinois, they have tested
the methods of corn culture for five sue
cessive years. Faithful trials with sur.
face culture and deep culture of this
plant have resulted quite favorably to
the method of shallow cultivation.
The introduction of clovers into gen.
eral use upon our farms has been slow
because of the high price of seed and
the difficulty of getting stand some
times. Our better acquaintance with ii
and with its value as forage crop is
overcoming this, and the general use of
the crop will make good seed plenty and
cheap.
A simple and sure way to test the ger
minating power of seeds is to place a
definite number in a damp cloth. and
put away in dark. warm place. The
good seeds will terminate and the poor
ones will not.
Do not be afraid of the little side is
sues on the farm. There is money even
in the diversity of garden truck for the
farmer. By all means have good gar
den. With milk, butter, fruit and fresh
vegetables the farmers home is place
of luxuries, envied even by city people.
There will be some way to redeem
Kansas and Nebraska from their danger
of distresses yet. 1t now looks as if these
States might depend upon the windmill
and the ground silo. The one will be a
boon in the way of irrigation, and in the
latter, which has proved perfect sue
cess, the whole crop of the country car
be preserved for feeding.

DO THEY LOVE US STILL?
BY ERMINA G. STRAY.

Do they love us still? we wonder,
AS we sit and dream today,
Do they think of us DER yonder,
Far across the shining way?
How our hearts are filled with sadness,
Sometimes without hope or gladness,
And we scarce can see the way.
When they pass beyond the portals
Do they know their loved ones still?
Have they love and thoughts like mortals
And heart that joy can thrill?
Oft in tears and woe we're striving
For the penitential striving,
And hope that heaven can NIL.
Is there peace in that far heaven?
Shall we meet the loved ones there?
VIII our sins be all forgiven?
Will there be no grief or care?
Will there be joyful greeting,
And happy, happy meeting,
In the land of beauty rare?
