THE HOURS FOR MEALS.

Changing Customs Have Made Them Ir.
regular.
There must clways be some diversity
of opinion on the breakfast hour, as
this depends on the hour of rising, and
the hour of rising must be governed
by the habits and employment of each
family. No universal time can be laid
down that is sure to hit the needs of
all persons. Seven o'clock is probabl
the breakfast hour of the greatest
number of persons in the country,
though many families breakfast as
early as o'clock, or earlier. It
should be noted that the hour of break
fast, even among families, has been
growing later since the general
introduction of superior lamps,
which tempt the household to
sit up later in the evening. It is
certain only a small number of farmers
families now breakfast before day
light, as the majority did score of
years ago. Machines have made it
possible to shorten the working hours
of the day. In the cities, outside of
the families of men of business, who
must be at their shops by eight o'clock,
the average breakfast hour is as late
as half-past eight or nine o'clock. In
spite of these late breakfasts, there
probably is more useful work accom-
plished than in those days when it was
deemed necessary to rise with the lark
if one would not be deemed slug
gard. The hour of breakfast has be-
come one of convenience rather than
one of morals. No one is condemned
by sensible people any longer though
he breakfasts as late as ten o'clock,
providing he accomplishes enough
when he is up to make up for his late
hours.
The dinner hour is certainly under
going an even greater change than the
breakfast hour 1t was once consider
ed as savoring of what Meg Dodds was
pleased to call "pick-me-dainty" ways
to dine at six o'clock. Yet even in the
smaller cities and in suburban places
this has become the general hour of
dinner. The twelve o'clock dinner is
still the farm custom, but even here
there is a growing belief that the
heaviest meal in the day ought not
to be eaten in the midst of the hardest
work of the day. The day may not be
distant when country workers may fol-
low the example of their brethren in
the city, and eat their heaviest hot
meal at night, sitting up long enough
to give abundant time for digestion.
This will necessitate the later break
fast hours already becoming the Gus
tom. By almost universal custom six
o'clock is the hour for tea or dinner,
whichever meal is served. In ultra
fashionable circles the dinner hour for
formal invited meals is as late as seven
or seven-thirty, but such hours have
never come into general family use in
this country.-N. Y. Tribune.

Suggestions Regarding the Feed and Care
of Young Birds.

Suggestions Regarding the Feed and Care
of Young Birds.
If new blood were brought into the
flock every year there would be fewer
complaints of young turkeys being
delicate. The truth is that these birds
have been too much inbred. The
easiest and quickest remedy for the
trouble is the introduction of wild
blood, which gives the desired stamina.
When the young turks are first
Matched they, like CHECKERS, require no
food for the first twenty-four hours,
but the mother should be given little
corn to keep her on the nest. After
wards feed them some milk curd
squeezed dry or bread dipped, but not
soaked, in milk or slightly moistened
with egg. Later on they may be given
scraps from the house, wheat, corn, bread
ndgreen bone. Always feed on clean
board, and allow them as much as they
will eat up clean in the space of a
quarter of an hour. For the first three
weeks they should be fed three or four
times day; afterwards three times
daily will suffice OF course they must
be supplied with plenty of waser and
gravel.
AS soon as the turks seem strong and
the weather is bright and warm, they
may be allowed to ramble about, but
must be got home at night, or, in case
Off shower, as damp is extremely fatal
to them. After they reach the stage
known as shooting the red," they are
hardy, and need but little attention.
But for the first three months they
need to be we'll cared for.
Lice are as fatal as damp to young
birds. AS soon as they are Matched,
the hen should be examined for lice,
which are certain to be transmitted to
the young ones. The large lice will be
found on the head, neck, under the
wing and also on the fight feathers
around the quilts on the wing. A little
oil or melted grease should be we'll
rubbed in and the hen thoroughly
busted with snuff or insect powder.
The same should be done to the turks
when they are about a week old, and a
drop of oil rubbed on their heads.
This should be applied with discretion,
as too much grease is fatal to them.
Turkeys are great foragers, and cam
not be kept in confinement. After the
first three months they should be given
absolute freedom. About month be-
fore marketing they should be fed lib
orally with as much corn as they will
eat. Old corn should always be used,
as green corn is indigestible and often
retards fattening, if it does not cause
actual loss.-N. Y. World.

THE LONE WOMAN.
A Source of Comfort to Those Who Are ii
Trouble.

A Source of Comfort to Those Who Are In
Trouble.
The CHEEKY single woman has her
work in her home as long as that
blessing is spared to her, and when
she finds that she can be comfort to
others and do good service in various
helpful ways-social, personal and
charitable. Mothers soon learn that
she is one of their faithful aids and
proud of the title of parents assist
ant. Little children love her, as she
enters into their amusements and SYM
pathizes with their small griefs, frol-
licking as merrily as the gayest sprite
among them, and always ready to
bind up the wounded heart or the cut
finger. Young men and maidens con-
fide their petty secrets to her discre-
ton, and older people enjoy the deli
cate attentions she delights to bestow
Should work be stern necessity of
this spinster's life, she must often find
herself overweighted with cares and
anxieties; but, to her credit be it said,
there is almost never the inclination
to indulge in vain and useless repin-
ings Thus the real lone woman is
not the one who persistently and cheer
fully conquers the difficulties of soli-
tary life, meeting it's trials with dis
arming smile, and guarding herself
against falling into that ineffably
dreary state which is meant by the
designation; nor is it she who. debarred
from all activity by ill health, pos
sesses in perfection the rare art of self
effacement, and who TRANQUILITY and

maidenhood. HARPER Bazaar.

Raising Sheep for Mutton.

The mutton breeds of sheep grow so
rapidly compared with. scrubs as to al
most surprise those who have not used
them. Such breeds as the Oxford
Downs, Shropshires and Hampshire
Downs will gain from IL ounces to a
pound a-day the first year, if forced by
high feeding. 1t has been demon
strated by actual tests that lambs can
be made to attain 100 mounds live
weight when 100 days old, and indi-
vidual rams, fed for the purpose of
gaining as much as possible, have
reached $40 pounds when 1 year old.
A ram was exhibited at the Centennial
exposition that weighed 425 pounds.

HOW TO CANDLE EGGS.
1t Requires Considerable Practice to Ex-

1t Requires Considerable Practice to Ex-
Gel in This Operation.
Have a room as dark as you
can or use box 10 by 16
inches in size painted black inside.
Stand on it's end and open one
side 8 inches from the bottom.
All above inches closed, set box with
this open side toward you and set the
light in it. Nail piece to bottom,
under front edge, with the top of box
back, this will enable you to see bet
ter. This box can be used in any
place, though it is better in dark
place. Take such light as you have;
the best gamblers use common candles.
Take two or three eggs in left hand
and the eggs you candle in right hand,
and hold sideways between you and
the light, as close to the light as you
can, and let it rub against one of the
eggs in left hand; some are quite par
ticular about this, as the eggs reflect
the light through each other; turn the
egg round until you are satisfied you
have tested it. Take q strictly fresh
egg as standard to judge by. If a
spirit level appears on the upper
side as you turn the egg. it is not
strictly fresh; though if this vacuum is
small and the egg is all right other
wise it may be comparatively fresh. A
dark or black spot indicates a poor
egg; the white of stale eggs also looks
thin and watery. Remember dark
shelled eggs are thicker shelled and do
not candle as easily as white ones You
can only learn by breaking suspicious
ones, and it requires much practice to
excel.-Charles w. Mcqueen, in Farm

CORN CUTTER.

passed fatwise between two ridged
rollers-and the blade is ground to an
edge from one side only. The result
of this is an edge serrated and toothed
like saw, but the cutting edge of
each tooth is smooth like that of a
knife, and the blade can be sharpened
on grindstone like any knife. The
advantage of this knife is that it sticks
wherever it touches, and it cuts, too.
1t requires only half as much effort to
cut hill of corn with this cutter as
with the smooth cutters.
