HARDWARE SHOP TALK.

Tho Statesmen Recount Their Amusing TX.
pcrienecs With Various Customers.
One morning, when by mistake we
had arrived at'the store ten minutes be.
foro tho arrival of the boss with the
keys, the men were amusing themselves
relating their experience with various
customers.
"Why is it," asked the Tool Man,
"that so many people get twisted with
corkscrews and screwdrivers?''
mature of the TOOL" suggested the
Cutlery Man.
Whatever the reason" continued the
Tool Man, Il have observed the almost
universal confusion of screwdriver
and corkscrcw. 1t is an everyday occur
renee with ladies as we'll as men, only
! lady asks for Il corkscrew and u man
fer q scrowurivcr and then look at YOU
SO surprised

said the Stove Man, "nine people out of
ten ask for Il stove litter.
Did you ever notice., :" remarked the
Cutlery Man, chow man or Il woman
express themselves when ut IL loss for a
name?''
What's i'll n name anyway" inter
rupted tho Tool Man. 1.-The woman who
asked for clear tacks got what she
wanted us quickly as though she had ask
ed for timed tacks. Such requests give
opportunities for mental gymnastics,
and thus relieve tic lcthargic tendon
cies incident to continuous routine
work. "
h Without apparently observing the in
ferruption the Cutlery Man continued:
"Thc other day Il lady came rustling
ibto the store. She WAS one of those
nervous, bustling little women, and she
Wanted pair Of 'twinchcrs. Noticing
any blank look, she said, You know, like
this, making Il motion with her thumb
and forciingcr that at once suggested
'tWeeZcrs. When 4 man wants an ar
ticle he can't name, he gets out pencil,
tears the back from lin envelope and pro-
ceeds to give an idea"
"A lady gave me an idea," again re-
marked the Stove Man, ION selling gas
stoves. While showing them to her she
asked some question to which confessed
Ignorance. To my surprise she said:

The Cause Of Small EGGS.

The steady improvement in the grade
Of poultry kept by farmers has resulted
in the increased size of eggs. This diff
ference is so marked that the eggs pro-
duced in the north always command in
the markets higher price than those
from the south, where the improved
breeds have been more slowly intro
duced. In that section the undersize
of poultry and eggs is doubtless due
chiefly to the lack of new blood. The
facilitating effect of the heat is some
times given as the explanation, but the
true one is rather the lack of care and
proper breeding, the indirect result of
the climate, which, by permitting the
birds to forage all the year round, re-
lieves the owner of much trouble, but
at the same time checks his interest in
their best development.

iy-Recommended Substance.

blood From Slaughter Houses II . High
y-R~commended Substance.
Among the many substances that
are the best for inducing egg produc-
ton may be mentioned blood from
slaughter houses. In the winter sea-
son 1t can be kept for quite awhile,
and may be fed by mixing it with equal
parts of corn meal and bran to stiff
mess. The reports that have come
from those who have used 1t are large
ly in its favor. In the meantime, a
supply of cut bone should not be over
looked, and the hens should have a ra-
ton Of such at least every other day.
II those who keep poultry would feed
less grain and take time to procure
such materials as could be had at a
small cost from the slaughter houses,
the expense of maintaining the hens
would be much less than when large
rations of grain are used, and the sup
ply of eggs would be more than
doubled. 1t Is the sameness of diet
the one kind of food from dry to day
that throws the hens out of condition
for laying, and entails loss where
one could just as easily secure a profit
by going to little extra trouble to
provide variety of food in order to at
ford the hens an opportunity to do
their best.
Green food should not be omitted
from the list at any time. In winter
the best substitute is fnely-chopped
clover hay, scalded; and pound of
such food makes a large and bulky
meal. Cooked turnips are also excel
lent, and a cabbage will be eaten clean
to the stalk. Refuse from the breweries
and glucose factories makes excellent
food for poultry, and the blades OF corn
fodder cut up and scalded are also
relished. 1t is the variety, the change
of food, which keeps the hens in good
working order.
Fowls will eat almost anything, and
without injury. There is no rule by
which to feed them. Give them any
thing that they will eat, but change
the food often. Do not simply change
from one kind of grain to another, but
make complete change, and then re-
turn to grain again. If kept on one
kind Of food for time the fowls show
their disgust by refusing it. They
will not lay until they get something
else, as it is required by them, and
those who feed variety of food will
make no mistake.-Far and Fireside.

as colts at pasture often come into win
ter quarters inveterate cribbers. While
most veterinarians have given the sub
ject considerable study. no specific has
yet been discovered for this trouble.
Many suggestions as to food, time Of
feeding, watering, ventilation, wear
ing certain kinds of bits and other APP
pliances are offered, but they usually
prove of but little value.
When cribbing the animal grasps the
top of post, rail, fence, manger or any
object within reach that can be adj
mitted between the jaws; hence, If
these objects be removed 1t is plain
that the act of cribbing cannot take
place, and as a partial preventive while

horse three feet from the floor. Its
general position is shown in the sketch
by L. d. Shook. 1t is as long as the
Manager is wide and not less than az
feet wide. The center is depressed six
inches. At a, on both sides of the stall,
is secured a chain or strap with a
snap in one end Of which is snapped
into each side of the halter. While the
horse has free use of his jaws and can
eat freely any food placed within GER
tain radius, he is so confined that he
cannot reach the front side of the
manager and if the top of the manger
be covered with sheet iron, no attempt
will be made to grasp this fat surface.
The continuance may be hinged to the
front of the stall and folded up out of

Keep Your Object. in View.

Hens afford profit from eggs and
flesh, and yet they excel, according to
the breed used, in either direction. He
who wishes to make eggs specially
should pay but very little attention tc
the market qualities of the breed,
while those who wish to raise the bes,
birds for the market should make eggs
secondary matter. 1t should be the
aim to secure both, if possible, but nc
breed combines in itself all the re.
quirements for eggs and flesh. II we

standard it may be lacking in some
other direction, perhaps tender when
young and not hardy. Always, how.
