HEALTH HINTS FOR BOYS,

In the first place always rise at the same
time in the morning. Lying abed Sunday
morning three hours later than any other
day in the week is not really any pleas
anter and besides, it throws the whole
scheme of your meals out for that day.
know a family-and they ought to know
better-who nave breakfact at eight on all
week days, lunch at one and dinner at six.
On Sundays, that is once in seven days,
they have breakfast at ten, dinner at one,
and hearty supper at five. The result is
that by seven o'clock Sunday might every
one in the family leels stuffed, unnatural,
tired, cross and everything else that is
disagreeable.
Don't do this. Eat breakfast at the same
time every morning in the week. If at
eight on Tuesday, then at eight on Sunday
And the same with lunch and dinner, or
dinner and supper.
When you get out of bed in the morning,
strip and 90 through IA live-minute exercise
after studying what particular parts of
your body and what muscles are weak. By
going through these exercises, whatever
they are, for five minutes, you will end by
being in a glow, perhaps in perspiration.
Then take a bath. Don't make the mistake
some people make of thinking that the
water must always be cold as it runs out of
IA cold faucet or as it comes out of pump.
That is wrong Englishmen very often do
this; but the temperature in England is
much evener than in the middle ATTITUDES
OF the United States and consequently
water the temperature of the air. does
not mean water that is nearly ice one
morning and comparatively warm the next.
good plan is to allow cold water to run
until the bath is perhaps three inches deep.
Th,n put in little warm water. That
takes the chill off the water, and then it
will not give any one shock.
A bath can be had in any house on the
earth, and no one can say that he cannot
battle every morning because there is no
bath tub in his house There is always
water near civilized house, or any house,
for that matter, and you can pump it or
carry it to your room the night before if
there is no running water in the house. If
there is no bath tub, get a "hat-bath," or,
if you cannot well do that take big tub,
but on no account give up the bath.
Afterwards give yourself long and hard
rub until your skin is red-and then

TO MAKE HENS LAY.

There are a great many women who
would like to go into the poultry business,
if they only knew how to make their hens
lay when they want them to. Hens have
a habit of going on strike when eggs are
highest, and of piling up the eggs when
they are worth nothing. Now l think
have solved the problem of making hens
lay at any time in the year. l have one
have eggs every month in the year, and
almost every day in the month for the
last ten years. l will give my mode of
operations.
Say, we begin in the fall just after the
moulting season. If you have fed good
condition powder through the moulting
season, your hens will almost sure to be in
a good condition. You must begin feeding
regularly twice day about the first of
October. We suppose your hens are run
ming out. In the morning | feed soft
feed of wheat screenings, if have it, bran
and corn meal, about one third of each,
about quart at a feed for dozen hens,
into which | stir before wetting, one tea
spoonful of Venetian red. In cold weather
scald the feed. | give this every third
day with one teaspoonful of red pepper
twice week. Do not use the pepper with
the Venetian red, but use alternately Give
this until they begin to lay, which will be
in IA week or ten days; then give once
week of each as long as you want eggs. At
night give quart of whole corn, field
peas or cane seed, either of which are good,
the peas especially for laying hens. Give
plenty of pure water with lime in it,
The above rules closely followed will
give you plenty of eggs and healthy
chickens. My chickens never have the
cholera or anything else the matter with
them. The Venetian red is harmless for
the chickens. You can obtain it at any
drug store. In the spring you will not
need to feed so often, and if you want
settlers you must stop feeding it entirely.
| have given this recipe to several and
always with the best results.-Phladelp

of matured animals. Varied foods supply
all wants, whether consisting of grains and
vegetables or the by-products of mills.
Linseed and cotton seed meals are rich in
the mineral elements and serve to balance
the grain ration. Both bran and middlings
are excellent additions to bulky foods, not
only because they contain mineral matter
largely, but also because they are concen-
trated. Rich, sweet heritage of all kinds is
relished by all classes of stock because such
foods are varied, and therefore supply what
may be needed. 1t is when clover hay and
grasses are allowed that grains may be
given, as the food is then better balanced.
which results in economy because the
conditions are then more favorable for the
greatest increase in growth and weight

Within few steps of the intersection
of two of the busiest thoroughfares in
Chicago, if not in the entire country,
is store through the portals of which
more people pass in the course of a
day than enter and depart from any
other establishment of it's size in the

ture; women who lead in society, art,
and letters; men who are prominent
in the professions; lawyers. physicians,

evidence of its character, which is that

watches to periods of tranquil and re-

TOO MANY BREEDS.

If you desire to keep pure breeds of
poultry, begin with only one and make
yourself familiar with all the points
relating to it, as we'll as the natural
characteristics of the breed. You may
then venture with second one, but it
must be borne in mind that it requires
five times as much caution to keep two
breeds as one. If only a single breed
is kept there is no danger of any
crossing or mixture, and the birds
may run at large, providing not too
near the neighbors; but the introduce
ton of a second breed necessitates
good high, close fences, confinement
and great care in properly collecting
and separating the eggs.
Our most successful poultrymen are
those who make a speciality of one
breed. They then aim to keep the best
and can easily do so, as long familiar
ity and experience with a flock of
fowls all of one kind permit the
breeder to detect at a glance all the
defects, owing to constant inn
preston of the characteristic on his
mind by frequent observation, while,
attention was turned to several breeds,
the details essential to perfection in
all the points would not bf SO easily
noticed.

1t has become to be recognized that
the fruit grower has but little to fear
now from leaf blight or insects on his
fruit trees, says the Practical Farmer.
The result of the work done in the way
of spraying trees liable to be attacked
place beyond doubt the efficacy of the
liquids. For insects more than one
mixture can be prepared to prevent
their attacks and to destroy them, and
for leaf blights other mixtures are
compounded of equal efficiency. Be
sides this. it has been found that a
combination mixture may be used to
destroy both insects and leaf blightS.
For the destruction of the curculio
perhaps the greatest foe in the apple
orchard, Paris green is the standard
remedy, as it is for the destruction of
all insects that eat the foliage of trees.
1t has been found that one pound of
this poison to two hundred gallons Of
water is sufficient A much larger pro-
portion of poison used to be the rule,
but the tendency all the time is to
rather lessen it than increase it. For
leaf blights of all kinds, Bordeaux mix
ture is the standard remedy. This is
made by dissolving six pounds of sui
plate of copper in fifty gallons of wa
ter. In another vessel put four pounds
of lime with six gallons Of water, and
when it has cooled mix the whole to-
gether when it is ready for use. The
same may be said of this as it was
of Paris green. the tendency is to use
less sulphate of copper. Many of the
standard works on the subject say
that six pounds of sulphate to sixteen
gallons !, water s -equir'd. and have
re. ommeL de-. it myself, but expert
mep'' of riv WA f"c the past two
years pro'sd to me tina my trees were
perfectly protected when 1 used but
: ne ] nund t. wen-v gallons, or five
pounds 10 he hundred. A combination
mixture to ,,rotect FROM curculio and
"th.r insect attacks and to prevent
leaf bliShts Is made by mixing one
ounce of Paris green with evef9 ten
galloAs of Lsrdeaux mixture. The mix
ture of linIe witt the INGREDIENTS is to
lessen the danger of injury to the
leaves from the poison, and it makes
the wash adhere to the foliage well.
The spraying of the trees should COM
mence when the blossoms fade. In
about ten days do it again. The next
time may be a month later. Still an
other spraying should be given about |
six weeks later, and this will suffice |
for the season. In my own spraying, |
referred to above, which were for leaf |
blight, I gave but two, one just as che |
leaves were fully expanded, another |
about six weeks later. and as the ap- |
pearance of the leaves indicated that |
the poison adhered to them nicely, I |
had no occasion to repeat 1t.

KILLING THE HORNS.

For the past three years, says Mrs.
NJ. Duesler. in Agricultural Epitomist,
I have killed the horns of the calves.
and find it much better way than
cutting them off the cows. My plan is
to. take caustic potash. and when the
calf is three weeks old, or sooner if
the buttons grow sufficiently, and mois-
ten it around the same, press the hair
back from around it and apply the
caustic by rubbing until the horn looks
nearly raw and the hair which comes
in contact with the caustic is loose and
comes out by picking at it. The oper-
alton doesn't seem TO give the calf any
pain. 1 do the work myself, and the
cautery or sore spot soon dries down
to a black hard scab, which drops off
In a few weeks and leaves the head
as smooth as born muley. OF course
you want to be careful and rub every
bit of the horn.
