Poultry Pointers.

Buckwheat is fattening; when fed
sparingly is egg producing.
Sell the culls as soon as possible, in
order to save feed and give more room.
Do not set the drinking vessels too
low; if you do the fowls will scratch
dirt into them.
Let the nests be in a dark place The
hens like it better, and are less liable to
acquire the habit of egg eating.
Fowls left to select their food, doubt
less would take seeds, insects and
grass. We should come as near as pos
sible supplying these preferences.
If your hens lay soft shelled eggs it
is because there is not enough lime in
their food. Feed them grit-gravel,
oyster shell, plaster or ground bone.
There is considerable difference be-
tween selling eggs for 10 cents and %
or 30 cents dozen. consequently it will
pay to pack them in salt Salt is cheap,
and packing eggs in it does not destroy

CHAPTER XIV.
THE FLIGHT IN THE HEATHER. TuE
QUARREL.

Alan and l were put across Loeb En-
rocht under cloud of night, and went
uoWn us eastern shore to another hiding
place near the head of Loeb Rannoch.
WHITTIER we were led by one of the gillies
from the Cage. This fellow carried all
our luggage and Alan's greatcoat in the
bargain, trottlng along under the bur

was man that, in plain contest could

the state OF our affairs to hearten me
Tor much eXertion; travelling. as we did
over the most dismal deserts in Scotland
under cloudy heaven and with divided
hearts among the travellers.
For long, we said nothing: marching
alongside or one behind the other. each
with a set cOuntenarce; /, angry and
proud and drawing what strength l had
from these two violent and sinful feel
lngs; Alan angry and ashamed ashamed
that he had lost money, angry that I
should take it so i'll.
Ihe thought of a separation ran al
ways the stronger in my mind: and the
more | approved of it, the more ashamed
l. grew Of my approval. 1t would be a
nne, handsome, generous thing, indeed.
Tor Alan to turn round and say to me:
$50, [ am in the most danger. and nv
company only increases yours" But for
me TO turn to the friend who certainly
loved me. and say to him: '.You are in
great danger, L am in but little; your
friendship is burden; go, take your
risks and bear your hardships alone"
no, that was impossible; and even to
think OF it privily to myself made my
cheeks to burn.
And yet Alan had behaved like a
child and (what is worse) a treacherous
child. Wheedling my money from me
while L lay half-conscious was scarce
better than theft; and yet here he was
trudging by my side, without a penny to
his name, and by what could see, quite
bHthe to sponge upon the money he had
driven me to beg. True, l was ready to
share it with him; but it made me rage
to see him count upon my readiness.
These were the two things uppermost
in my mind; and could open my mouth
upon neither without black ungenerosity.
SO L did the next worse. and said moth

Annle Sauce.

Apples intended for sauce should be
pared, cored and put into cold water
until they are placed over the fire, to
keep them from discoloration. Pour a
very little water over them in the sauce
pan and allow them to cook very gently.
They should be tightly covered and fire.

more water. When the apples are
quite soft, stir and mash them; add Il
little butter, pass them through col
ander. If the sauce is to be used with
meat, sweeten moderately before set
ting away to cool, otherwise a liberal
use of sugar is more agreeable. A gen.
erous sprinkling of cinnamon or dash
of nutmeg, according to taste, may be
added. Another method Of making
apple sauce is the following: Make
syrup, and when it is thoroughly boiled
drop the peeled and quartered apples
in it. They should boil until soft and
then be we'll mashed. This makes q
richer sauce than when the apples and
sugar are boiled together, or when the
latter is added after the fruit is taken
from the fire.

pleasantly forward to a dram and a dish

system on the Farm.


In every department Of labor the es-
sential to success is systematic meth
cd. System is especially needed in
farm work, because thrift Of so many
living things is in the power Of the
farmer. There should be a regular
hour for feeding stock. Animals soon
learn the hour for their meals when
given regularly, and are impatient Of
delay. Bawling, bleating or squealing
for an hour before each meal does not
hasten the development Of fat in calves,
lambs or pigs. At other times the food
hungry and not prepared to make the
best use Of it. There should be a GER
tain hour at which to begin feeding in
the morning and a time at which to
quit feeding at night, or rather evening,
for we don't believe in feeding after
dark except in the shortest December
days. The farmer who feeds his stock
by lantern light during spring and fall
months will be apt to get crops in late
and pick corn till holidays. The fam
lily meals should not vary ten minutes
from the specified time, neither should
the men ever keep meals waiting. Chill
dren should be off to school on time,
neither too late or too early. They will
be more apt to have their lessons on
time if everything is regular at home.
The work is so much easier to do when
every one knows his time and place;

Clip the Queens Wings.

From long experience in managing an
apiary, we have come to the conclusion
that clipping the queens wings is a
decided advantage. No swarms will
then escape to the woods. The owner
can go from home, attend church, with
out having his mind disturbed with
thoughts Of losing swarms in his alb
sence. 1t is better to do this than run
the risk Of losing excellent queens and
swarms. The bees will never leave for
good if the queen does not accompany
them. This, Of course, has reference to
first swarms, as second swarms may
issue at any time, with young queen
fully fiedged, like Minerva from the
head Of Jove, ready for fight and legiti-
mate business. These latter can also
be prevented by opening the hives after
they have cast swarms, examining
carefully the combs and cutting out
all queen cells, but one in each hive.
If this is done no second swarm will
issue-Colman's World.

Next Winters Flowers.

Start the hanging baskets at once
that are for next winter, and be sura
to have plenty of space at the top for
water. Ii baskets that are growing
now do not seem to thrive, examine
them and watch to see if they do not
lack moisture They are up where the
air is hot and dry and are exposed at
every point to the air so that they dry
out much faster than other plants. II
a can with a small hole in the bottom is
placed among the plants and filled with
water, as it leaks out will be great
help to the plants. This is also good
plan with window and porch boxes
which often suffer for water.

Pickles.

Here is All old Maryland recipe for
pickles: One-quarter pound Of small
onions, cut up, one-quarter pound Of
green tomatoes, sliced, two large pep
pers, sliced, one-half pint small red
and green peppers. Sprinkle one pint
of salt over them, and let them drain
all night. In the morning drain off ev
cry drop of juice. Mix together one
ounce white pepper, one ounce celery
seed, one ounce mace, one-half ounce Of
cloves, one-quarter pound brown sugar
and one piece of grated horesradish.
Cover all over with best vinegar, about
one gallon. After putting in pot thus
first layer pickles, then layer Of spices
(the latter having been well mixed to-
gether), two tablespoonfuls Of made
mustard dissolved in one-half cupful Of
water, and stirred into the pickles last
cook a long time. This quantity
makes about two gallons of pickles.

pickles will keep vinegar from losing

sugar are the same weight.

DO Avav with the swi11 Barrel.

OO Away WITH the 0W1ll D0rTCls
Because hog will eat anything is no
reason why it should be either offered
or allowed to eat decayed, odorous and
unclean food. 1t is expected that ulti-
nately the hog will be eaten by our
selves or some one who would like to
be as squeamish about taking anything
that is unclean into their systems.
There ought to be no such thing as a

Don't haul your fruit to market in a
lumber wagon, but use a strong spring
wagon with large platform. 1t saves
your fruit from MASKING.
If you mix windfalls with picked
fruit they will detract from the fine
qualities Of your fruit, from the prices
and worst of all, from the excellence of
your reputation. Keep them separate.
If the ants are cutting the leaves off
your fruit trees faSten a wisp Of loose
cotton around the stem Of the tree be-
tween ground and the first branch; the
ants tangle in this and can't climb
over it.
In packing fruit for shipment no pur-
pose is served by ventilation other than
the escape Of moisture. The contact of
fresh air hastens decay. Have the

Grape Jel1y.

This may be made from grapes in any
degree Of ripeness, from the time the
seeds are formed. Many prefer jelly
made from green grapes, as it has q
more delicate flavor and a very fine
color. Stew them a few minutes, add
ing a cupful Of water to one gallon Of
grapes; pour off the juice and strain
through jelly bag. Do not press or
squeeze the juice out, as that will
cause small particles Of pulp to come
out with it and give the jelly cloudy
appearance. To each pint Of clear
juice add one pint of white sugar and
boil until it is thick enough, which will
take about 20 minutes. Pour it into
glasses, label, and keep in a cool place.
