ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
POULTRY HOUSE PLAN.

Building Calculated to Accommodate
from Eighty to one Hundred Fowls.
Several readers have asked for plan
Tor q good hen-house that will accommo-
date from rs to 100 fowls, the same to
keep the hens warm during severe
winter weather, and enable the builder
to keep several varieties or small lots of
20 to 25 in one room of it. Nothing said
about cost.
We always presume that those con-
templating going into the chicken BUSH
ness are not seeking merely place to
spend ready cash, but for the purpose Of
making pay out Of the employment.
We always endeavor to aid such persons
by suggesting economy in the construc-
ton of buildings to the degree that will
encompass the possibilities of making
them strong, durable and comfortable.
1t is generally conceded that fowls
kept in small floclls do best, and in MAX
ing up plan for keeping the number
mentioned we have followed up that
idea closely, and present a five-room
house with each room ten feet square.
four of which are intended to provide
accommodation for at least 20 to rs
hens.
To economic time, labor and expense.
we suggest that this house be framed
from posts set in the ground two and
one-half feet, and seven and one-half
feet above, with two by four studding
spiked on top. running all the way

FOR THE COOK.

Baked Pears.-Cut ripe pears in half,
without peeling or removing the stems.
Pack in layers in stoneware or glass
jar. Strew II little sugar over each
layer. Put small cupful of water in
the bottom Of the jar to prevent burn
ing; fit on a close cover, and set in a
moderate oven. Bake three hours, and
let the jar stand unopened in the oven
all night.
Delicious Sandwiches.--A sandwich
that is excellent with iced tea or lemon
ade is made with raisin filling. Re-
move the seeds from halved raisins, and
lay the raisins closely together upon
very thin slices of buttered bread.
Sandwiches of brown bread, with n
filling Of finely minced cheese, to which
has been added little mustard, are de-
lightful.
Celery Salad.-Well wash the celery
and keep it in the cool till wanted; then
dry on cloth, and cut in thin sliced
sticks, one and halfinch long, or in short
julienne shapes. Season it with pepper
and salt, oil, and tarragon or other vim
egar, and chopped shallot; mix well to-
gether, and serve in n salad-bowl. Gar
nish with slices of tomatoes or beet
root, cut in fancy shapes and seasoned
like the celery.-N. Y. Ledger.

Plenty of swlndlers Abroad.

The number of people who live or try
to live by their wits seems to have in
creased rapidly of la.e. Never have
swindlers of all kinds been more in evil
dence both in city and in country. In
a single week no less than four schemes
to defraud farmers have come to our
notice. They are all variations of the
venerable swindles which have been ex-
posed so often in the press. One cor
respondent intimates that hypnotism is
being used to bunko farmers in his 10
cality. This is probably only the hyp.
notism of a smooth tongue on the part
of the "agent" and careless business
methods on the part of the victim
There is heap of this kind of 'hyP
notism" all over the country at present

A DAUGHTERS MARRIAGE.
The Sense OF Loss Parents Fee. When
Their Girls Are Gone.

The Sense OF Loss Parents Feel When
Their Girls Are Gone.
The departure of a son from beneath
the paternal roof does not present any
spectacle of desolation. Masculine life
has, from infancy, an individuality, an
independence, an eXotism, so to say,
which is essentially wanting in female
existence. When a son abandons his
parents, to create for himself a separate
interest, this separation causes but lit
tie interruption in their mutual rela-
tions. A man marries, and still main
tains his friendships, his habits and his
filial affections. Nothing is changed in
his life; it is only an additional tie.
His departure is, consequently, mere
simple separation; while the departure
of young girl, become the wife OF
few hours, is q real desertion-a deser-
ton with all it's duties and feelings still
fresh about it. In one word, the son is
a sapling which has always grown apart
from the trunk; while the daughter
has, on the contrary, formed an essen
tial portion of it, and to detach her
from her place is to mutilate the tree
with unspeakable tenderness-the ex-
haustless tenderness of your paternal
and maternal hearts; and she, in re-
turn, has appeared to pour forth upon
you both an equally ineXhaustible
gratitude; you loved her beyond all the
world, and she seemed to cling to you
with a proportionable affection. But
one day, one ill-omened day, q man
arrives, invited and welcomed by your
selves; and this man of your own choice
carries off to his domestic eyrie your
gentle dove, far from the soft nest
which your love had made for her, and
to which hers had chung. On the NOR
row you look around you, you listen,
you wait, you seek for something which
you cannot find. The cage is empty;
the tuneful linnet has flown; silence
has succeeded to it's melodious war
blings; it does not come as it did only
on the previous morning, futtering it's
perfumed wings about your pillow, and
awakening you by its soft caresses.
Nothing remains but painful calm,
painful silence, a painful void. The
chamber of the absent darling offers
only that disorder which is so melan-
choly for a mother to contemplate;
not the joyous and impatient disor-
der OF occupation, but that of abandon
ment-Uousehold Words

CHEAP FARM PAINT.
1t Gives q Satisfactory Finish on Eithe
Wood or Stone.

1t Gives q Satisfactory Finish on Either
Wood or Stone.
A method of painting farm buildings
and country houses, while by no means
new, is yet so little known and so de-
serving of wider application as to war
rant description. The paint has but
two parts, both cheap materials, being
water lime or hydraulic cement and
skimmilk. The cement is placed in a
bucket, and the skimmilk, sweet, is
gradually added, stirring constantly
until just about the consistency Of
good cream. The stirring must be
thoroughly done to have an even flow,
and If too thin the mixture will run on
the building and look streaked. The
proportions cannot be exactly stated,
but gallon Of milk requires fullquart
of cement, and sometimes little more.
This is convenient quantity to mix
at time for one person to use. If too
much is prepared, the cement will set
tie and harden before all is used.
A fat paint brush about four inches
wide is the best implement to use with
this mixture. Lay it on exactly as with
oil paint 1t can be applied to wood
work, old or new, and to brick and
stone. When dry, the color is light
creamy brown, or what some would
call a yellowish stone color. The skim
milk cement paint, we'll mixed, with
out adding color has good body, gives
smooth satisfactory finish on either
wood or stone and wears admirably

DRAINING PASTURES.
In MANY Cases 1t Can 30 Made 60 Pay
Handsomely.


The impression is quite common that
1t will not pay to underdrain pasture
land, says Drainage Journal. There
are pasture lands that it will not pay
to drain, but it is also true that in many
instances it will pay to underdrain, in
part, at least, lands used for grazing
purposes. In passing through the
country we see many acres of pasture
landwhich, If sufficiently underdrained,
would be very valuable. AS they are
now they are practically worthless, af-
fording only wild and unnutritious
grasses, worth but little for grazing
purposes; in fact, such lands are dis
ease breeders of the live stock which
have the run of them. Pastures which
need undertakings may be cared for
so as to present good appearance to
the casual observer, but when careful
ly examined are found to grow grasses
of little value. If they have been seed
ed to tame grass there is such a mix
ture of water grasses with the tame
that the pasture is poor.
If a landowner is doubtful as to the
benefits of Undertaking such land, let
him put in one or more tile drains with
good outlets and observe the result.
The wild sour grasses will disappear
and the tame grass sod will thicken and
grow luxuriantly. The live stock are
good judges. In grazing they will
keep the grass near the drains cropped
closely because it is more palatable to
the taste and more nutritious. We are
confident that the value of thousands
of acres of pasture lands could be
greatly enhanced If underdrained,
which are, in their present condition,
practically worthless. Those who
have given little attention to the real
condition of their grazing lands will
be surprised in a careful examination of
their condition. 1t will soon become
apparent to them that where there is
one blade of good, nutritious grass,
four or five may be made to grow by a
we'll directed effort in the underdrain-
age of the land. . .... .".
