what to Do with Fat Hens.

When a hen becomes very fat she not
only is poor layer, but will become
broody, have leg weakness, and be nn-
fit for anything but the pot. Such hens
should be fed only once day, at night,
the meal to consist Of a pound of leaD
meat to twenty hens, with handful OF
grain scattered for them to hunt up.
They will then be hungry during the
day, will search and work for food.
while the inducement of a few grains
thrown out at night will cause them
to keep at work until late. Meat con-
tains little fat-producing elements,
lean, and will greatly promote laying:
as soon as the surplus fat is removed
which can only be done by compelling;
the hens to exercise.

much more nutritious than the twigs~

Planning for Selling.

1t is very rare Of late years that "a
season is found when there Is good
pasture all through the year. Usually
the dry spell comes late in summer OF
early in the fall, just the time when.
the best soiling crops are ready to help
out the deficiencies of pasture. The rea-
son why more farmers do not sow soil
ing crops in spring is because their land
is not ready to produce the crop that
will make soiling profitable. Prepara-
tons for soiling ought to begin at LEAST

The Retort Clever.

Bless the babiesi We couldn't get
along without them. But how careful
we have to be, when we mention these
little high mightinesses! A young Phil
adelphian was laughing recently, says
the Press, over the absurd mistakes
one is apt to fall into when talking
about the first-born Of the house to the
newly made mamma.
.Well,' she SAID, Jerome X. Jerome
helped us out wonderfully in one re-
spect. He said that when in doubt as
to the gender of the little morsel of hui
mainly one should carefully avoid re-
ferring to the child as he or she and
merely call it the little angel"
That settles one side Of the question.
But suppose yon are asked whether
baby resembles papa or mamma? That
is just as bad as the other. Well,
found myself face to face with this lat
ter question few days ago, and the
way took of replying was SO success
full that think women should fortify
herself with it. And the men, too; for
they are just as often in this predica-
ment.
do you think baby looks like his
father or like me?' asked baby's de-
voted mamma. looked at baby long
and steadily and then replied: Baby
looks like cherub.' The scheme was
supremely successful and baby's
mamma sent me baby's picture in a sill
yer frame.
