Poultry Hints.

Scratching material should be renewed
once or twice week during winter
weather, or at least be raked OVER and
the droppings removed. Sand and fine
gravel as we'll as loam afford the fowls
such substance as they require, in con-
junction with the grain they consume.
Besides, this sand keeps the floor Of the
building looking better, and when their
grain food is thrown among straw. hay
or leaves they scratch about getting
particles of sand. grit and loan, which
assist in digestion.
From now until late into the spring
nothing is better than good old wheat
for laying hens. The soft feed can be
reduced one-half with excellent results.
They will begin laying we'll much earlier.
And as soon as the young chicks are 4
week old they should also be started on
small wheat; the result will be stronger
and more rapid growth, and in every
way they will be better. Corn should be
fed only occasionally, because it is heat
ing and fattcning, which is not always
desired in laying hen or growing stock
1t is said that the value of the manure
of each hen can be put at p cents, and
market gardeners and florists will take all
you have. The manure should fall upon
covering of land plaster The drop

manure and plaster. The latter is an alb
sorbent and takes up the ammonia, and
retains the fertilizing properties.
Poultry intended for the table should
be put in Il coop by themselves for about
two weeks.

a BALLADE OF FORGOTTEN LOVES.

Some poets sing of sweethearts dead,
Some sing of true loves far away
Some sing OF those that others wed,
And some of Idols turned to clay;
slug a pensivc roundelay
To sweethearts Of a doubtful lot
The passions vanished In day,
The little loves that I've forgot.
For, as the happy years have sped.
And golden dreams have changed to gray,
How oft tho flame of love was fed
By glance. or smile, from Maud or May,
When hayward Cupid was at play;
Mere fancies, formed Of who knows what
But still my debt I ne'er can pay.
The little loves that I've forgot.
o Joyous hours forever fed,
o sudden hopes that would not stay!
Held only by the slender thread
OF ncmory that's all astray,
Their very names l cannot say
Times viii Is done; I know them not:
But blessings on them all, pray;
The little loves that I've forgot
Envoi.

Sir Andrew and the Maniac,

Sir Andrew Clarke is said to have
saved his own life once by his presence
of mind. While travelling in Italy he
ascended i high tower one evening and
found ut the top another tourist, an Eng
lishman, who engaged the physician in
conversation. They chatted pleasantly
for Il few minutes. when suddenly the
stranger seized Sir Andrew by the Shout
ders and with a wicked gieam in his
eyes, said quietly:
II am going to throw you over"
The man was Il maniac. The physi-
clan had only Il moment in which to
gather, his thoughts, but that moment
saved him.
"Pooh:" he replied unconcernedly to
the mailman, ''anybody can throw
man off the tower. If we were on the
ground you coul not throw me up. That
would be too difficult

Probably the most remarkable instance
is that of the late Admiral Sir Provo
Wallis. His father, captain Of. a ship,
entered his son as an able seaman at
4 years old. The youth received nay as
such until he became midshipman, and
then his pay increased as he rose, step
by step, to be an admiral, and as he
died at the age of SO he actually received
pay for ninety-four years. On account
of his services and his great age, he
was retained on the active list---that is,

FOR THE FARMER.
When the Cows Come Home.

When the Cows Come Home.
The light on the mountain falls aslant,
The birds in the bush are still:
The cricket chirps III the pasture plant
When the COWS come over the hill.
The swallows circle about the caves,
A pale star mounts the sky;
The squirrels rustic the golden sheayes
When the cows are passing by.
Over the valley the shadows creep.
Dark ming the green Of the pine;
Down in the garden the h0neybecs sleep.
Missing the breath Of the kline.
The tinkle of bells Is sweet to my ear,
But sweeter the words of song
That the singer Is slowly bringing near
AS she follows the COWS along.
She sings OF a lover whose faith is fast
Wherever his footsteps roam;
And her cheek grows red when we meet a
last.
AS the cows are nearing home.

the restaurant proprietor being his rcla-

necessary instructions for placing it on

Time passed, and the meal began to

that the bottle washer had vanished. 1t
