TAKING CARE OF HIMSELF.
Jack Was Making Money In Ways OF
His own Choosing.

"Why don't you give that son of yours a

other. "He must inherit some of your SUI

More than half the Tea consumed IN The
United States and Canada is of Japanese
growth, yet, the majority Of Americans APP
parently do not understand how to prepare
it so as to develop the delicious qualities
which it contains. The Japanese Govern
ment has appropriated a large fund to aid
the japanese Tea growers and Tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational work,
and it is hoped that American ladies viii
be apt students. The main Bureau of the
Japanese Tea Guild has issued an official
recipe for making Japanese Tea, the transla-
ton of which is as follows:
First.-Use a small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Second.-Put in n ~teaspoonful OF ten
leaves for each cup of tea desired.
Third.-When using japanese teas, pour
on the required quantity Of fresh boiled wa
ter, and let stand with closed lid from 2
to 8 minutes. Never boil the leaves. In
order to retain the natural flavor, Japanese
tea leaves should be kept in tight can or
jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of japanese Teas,
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

1 first conceived the idea of locating
the post just outside the roadway, in
the grass, using the double swinging
iron arm, with its s%naffle, to hold the
horse off from the grass. This works
well with most horses, but some will
throw the arm completely up over the
top of the post, and so get on to the
grass with all four feet. This is OBJ
waited by using the chain, as shown in
the cut. This permits the arm to rise
Just far enough to reach the bride OF
the horse, with play enough so that he
can move his head freely, but does not
permit him to throw it over upon the
other side of the post.
This device of using an arm to keep
the horse away from the post accom-
plishes more than the preservation of
the grassy sod. 1t keeps the horse from
gnawing and disfiguring the post, and
from rubbing his bride and other parts
of his harness against it-often to the
serious injury of the harness.-Country

THE POULTRY BUSINESS.
Points to Be Considered by Those
About to Enter Ii.

About to Enter IL.
Many claims have been made in favor
of poultry-raisers which have done
harm by inducing inexperienced per-
sons to venture into the poultry bust
ress under the delusion that they car
surely make a competency even if fall
ure ensues in every other enterprise.
Careful reflection should convince the
most enthusiastic individuals that ii is
impossible to realize much that is held
out invitingly. With the sum of a few
hundred dollars, or as much as a thou
sand, it is proposed to engage in the
poultry business. The question is CON
sidered and discussed as to the profits
to expect. Comparing the business
with any other it can be noticed that
there is no occupation hat would not
be considered very profitable with a
profit of 20 per cent, or even one-haif
that percentage. To realize 5000 a year
on an investment of $1,000, therefore,
is to secure in the poultry business
something that is difficult to obtain in
any other direction, yet many who in
vest $1,000 in poultry and the neces-
sary buildings are not satisfied unless
they can make a sum nearly equal to
the capital employed. One cause of
much expectation is the fact that fowls
multiply rapidly, and will naturally in
crease, which is true; but it requires
the loss of a year for the chicks to
reach maturity, while the expense is
occurring all the time. The sum of
1000 would not pay for the buildings
and fowls necessary to start with 500
hens, and the profit will not amount
to one dollar a hen for the whole num-
be-. Right here it may be urged that
one can, by doing the work himself,
make $500 a year on a capital of $1,000,
but it will not be profit, as the labor
must be paid for, whether it is per-
ing some one to assist. That, however,
il the bright side of the business. IL
a person can invest his money so as
to give himself employment it will be
q great point gained, but only the most
experienced poultrymen have succeed
ed in keeping 500 hens. On the farms
where the farmers are already estab-
lished they can, by utilizing their la
Dor in winter, make poultry pay well
on their investment, but all who may
engage in the business will find that as
soon as the labor is hired the profits will
o exceed those derived from some
other pursuits.-Farm and Fireside.

Compartson of Grain Values.

The comparative valueso of corn, wheat
and barley for pork making seem to
be about as follows. from recent ex-
periments at the Canada and United
States experiment stations: To make
I pound of pork, 4 pounds II nee of
barley was consumed, making the bar
ley net so cents per bushel. Its mar
ket value was 25 cents. On wheat, a
pound of pork was made from 4 pounds
6 ounces, returning 20 cents per
bushel. Four and one-half pounds OF
corn was required, making its cash
value 65 cents. At market prices, barr
ley, IS cents; wheat, IS cents; corn,
SO cents, the pork cost 2.5 cents, 4 centA
and 2.s5 cents per pound respectively.

Whether the pigs have cholera, ty-
phoid fever, enteric fever, red soldier,
blue disease, pig distemper, indiges-
ton, or any of the many diseases to
which they are subject, the fact cam
not be gainsaid that at present the
rigs are dying in large numbers. Any
definite cure can hardly be suggested.
Soon the disease will have run its course.
Only those who take the precautions
to quarantine the sick and prevent the
spread of the disease will come out
with something to show for the care
bestowed on the swine herd. The sick
animals should be isolated as remote
from the well oues and from the hen
house as possible, and the dead should
be burned or buried in lime promptly.
The disease can be carried to all parts
of the farm by persons going from N
place to another after having been
among the sick ones. The hogs ought
to be Guaranteed in a clover field or
other lot that is to be plowed up in
the spring and put into some other
kind of crop. Corn and rye are an un-
desirable ration for sick hogs-they
should have easily digested and nutri-
tious food to keep up their strength

COMFORT ON THE FARM.

cessful Effort.
The lack of comfort in the home of a
farmer is not, as a general rule, SO
much the result of necessity as of neg
lect; nor is it true that man or beast is
better off without it. A lot of chink
holes in the barn may be all right for
ventilation in summer, but they bring
discomfort to the animals ard cost a
deal of grain when winters blasts are
on. Discomfort is a source of weakness
word comfort means to strengthen
much, to encourage, to invigorate.
These certainly are great aids to bet
ter life and furnish encouragement for
successful effort. The COW will yield
more and better milk if she finds COM
fort in her stall and pasture. The steer
will lay on more pounds if made COM
Portable.
Carried to its fullest meaning COM
fort is not to be associated with eff
feminacy or the weakening of body or
mind. So essential is this factor to all
life hat neither man nor beast can ac-
complish the full quota of labor with
out it. Securing comfort then in our
homes and barnyards does not mean
extravaganza or an investment that
will no give good returns. If a wind
mill is u luxury then a pump is one also,
for the water might be lifted with a
rope. Perhaps the cynic may call the
well an extravaganza for the water
might be carried several miles from
some creek or spring. The farmer who
can afford it and does not have a COM
