For the Drinks.

II there is one thing more than an.
other that prevents hens from laying
in winter 1t is being obliged to drink
snow water and furnish the heat from
their bodies to melt 1t. And also, II
there is one thing more than another
that keeps their owner from watering
them, 1t Is going out some cold morning
and finding dishes frozen solid and the
seams NIL gaping. Procure some deep
baking tins, square shape, to hold about
three pints; get those made of one
piece Of tin. with folded corners, so
they will not leak. These cost 10 cents
each and will last for years. When
these get frozen solid they will not
burst and can be emptied without melt
ing by pressing up on the bottom with
the ends Of the fingers of both hands,
while pulling off with the thumbs on
the rim, first on the ends and then on
the sides. Now get some blocks, say
two inches square and six long, and
fasten them to the side of the pen
where 1t will be most convenient to get
at, and SO the top will be about six
inches from the floor. Set the dish on
this, and drive two small wire nails
just over the rim and bend down
slightly, and the arrangement is COM
plete, easy to remove for cleaning, and
high enough SO the hens will not
scratch much dirt into it, and SO near
the side they cannot roost on 1t. AS
this arrangement is not patented and
not expensive, I see no reason why
your hens should not have the benefit
Of clean drink this winter.-J. w.

Miss Anson's Locks Arc Sticky and
Cannot Be Combed.
The case of Annie Arson Of Berkeley,
whose hair is stirened by a sticky,
resinous substance, is attracting the
attention Of the local hairdressers.
The interest Is enhanced by a state
ment made by the young woman that
che has heard that in certain parts OF
Europe a disease similar to this has
been known. The hair grows sticky,
as II glue had been poured over 1t, and
this Is really an. exudation from the
scalp. In some instances the hair has
been known to bleed.
The local hairdrcssers have made
several attempts to reduce Miss An
sons hair to Il condition in which 1t
q be comhed. Shampooing removes
some of the sticky substance for 4
time, but after a little it eturus. Miss
Arson is SO chag.ined by her misfort-
une that she has left Berkeley for a
time, to return to the home of her
friends in the San joaquin valley, near
Stockton. The theory that her hail
was resined by the use OF common vel
low soap has been abandoned.
Local hairdressers say that q few
years ago a young lady was treated
by them for something which at frs
appeared to be an ailment like Mis-,
Anson's. 1t was discovered later tina
in her hair were particles Of some sor
of powdery substance, which became
sticky upon the application of water
Shampooing, in her case, was aband
oned, and after a while, by CAREFUL,
abstaining from wetting her locks. til
powder was removed by frequen
combing. Miss Arson fears that bald
ness will result from her present attic
ton. During the past ton days sh
has grown thin aud pale through grie
caused by her trouble.-Sln Francisc

board Of insane hospital trustees, has
written a letter to the governor refus-
ing to resign. He says he believes
that. by a change In the management
at the hospital, a saving in expense
can be made, and that the change will
be for the good Of the institution in
other ways. Recent events show that
q change of officers is necessary, and
this feeling Is general in the state.
J. B. Rudy and wife. supervisor and
housekeeper, respectively, and Miss

And the Gentleman Got nm Advance
View of a Fine Piece of statuary.
The narration of several experiences
of travel led one of the Americans in
the smoking room of the steamer to
tell this story:
""There Is in Hanover, as some Of
you know" he began. "a beautiful
garden, Herrenhauscn, on which the
kings Of Hanover. when they were
kings Of Hanover. lavished much at
tention. Some years ago l visited Her
rephausen with my wife and children
and some persons whose acquaintance
we had made on the steamer. 1t was
q beautiful day In summer, and we all
felt in the highest spirits. 1t hap
pened that at the hotel some one had
told me of the statue Of q former mar
gravine of Hanover, which was o
to be unveiled in Herrenhausen. 1t
was to stand In q shell-shaped struct-
ure, the whole Of which was boarded
over at the time.
"When our party reached this she'd
like affair l began to tell what 1t was
there for, who the margarine q
and so on. pretending a vast know
ledge Of the whole business. One OF
nv children then wanted to know II
We couldn't e the statue. In a jok-
ing way, 1 said certainly, and going up
to the key Of the shed, drew a bunch
Of keys from my pocket. I did as II l
were going to open the lock, and actu-
ally put q key into it. taking the first
that came to hand. l turned the key.
to carry out the joke, and was aston
ished beyond measure to find the lock
| yield and the door open.
"My little daughter clapped her
hands and exclaimed: oh, papa's
| opened the door, and rushed in to see
| the statue The others followed, while
I was too daZed to say q word. l be-
| gan to feel more or less alarm. / had
| heard a great deal about the s%trictness
of German enforcement Of law. and
knew that, technically, l had commit
ted burglary. The question also arose
in my mind whether l could not be
hailed up for lese majestic and sent to
prison for six months. At the same
time 1t would have been embarrassing
and humiliating to confess to my chill
dren that I had made a mistake and
had no right in there.
1.-THE statue was covered with cloth,
and so l managed to hustle the party
ont of the shed after a short time. One
of the laborers CHANGED to rass, and he
was evidently surprised to see us in
there. He must have taken me for a
sculptor or something of the kind, and
did not summon a policeman. I was
In the greatest trepidation until l re-
locked the door and finally got away
with my family and friends. There
were probably a million chances to
n that my key wouldn't fit that par
ticular lock, but I haven't liked to be
too practical in my jokes since that
time."-New York Trihupe.

"Look at that poor old fellow over

Stock Notes,

1t will not pay to have "spring poor
stock this year.
Lime whitewash Is a saving grace in
the hen house.
When you e a male fowl sitting it
Is a safe bet that he is hen-pecked.
The hen is a fool that lays big eggs
while they are sold by the dozen.
You can't make stock believe prices
Of feeding stuff are low unless you
give it oil it can eat.
Whenever an animal gets to a point
when it is making NJ gain it is sure to
begin encroaching OIL past acculnula-
lions of profit.
When animals are bred before they
are fully matured. whatever defects
they may have will he transmitted to
their offspring.
There is n difference between food
for promoting growth and for pronot-
Ing fat. The best plan Is to grow the
animal before fattcning it.
To feed economically, and yet sutii.
GENTLY, give your animals only what
they will eat up clean. Trying to stuff
them beyond this limit will result in
loss and not gain.
Sheep will live on fodder and hay,
but they will thrive If some corn and
oats or bran is added to the ration.
After you feed an animal enough to
keep 1t alive or from getting poor it
does not take much more to make it
improve.
An animal is wintered at a loss that
is fed so that 1t Just "holds its own"
during the winter. Young stock should
always be kept in a growing condition
during the winter months. Most farm
ers try to carry o many animals over
winter.
Sheep are better bred and more in
diligently bred than they were a gen.
Grafton ago. In the last thirty-tive
years fleeces have doubled in weight
In the United States. 1t Is only the
very best sheep that have been paying
q profit the past few years, that has
been remuneratdve.
