Hens running at large on the farm

food for the poultry next winter if the

they can do the work themselves.

THE EVER.HELPFUL HEN

"Breathes there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,"
There's naught on earth that goes ahead
OF either meat, or fish. or bread,
And that so fully fills the bill''
In various ways as does and will
The egg of the Helpful Hen?
And there's nothing quite so good to eat"
That furnishes rarer treat,
or richer feast, and more complete,
hen savory, succulent and sweet,
And there's but little appetite"
There is no more enrapturing sight
Than dish of good roast chicken2
Breathes there a woman in all the earth,
Who doesn't know the use and worth
OF the real value of dollars and cents,
OF the saving grace in family expense,
OF the joys and welcomes oft intense,
While patiently waiting In some suspense,
Egg fresh from the Helpful Hen?
Is there a housewife overwise,
Who fully appreciates her prize,
When she over, and over, and over tries
To make her pudding, and sometimes pies,
And gets into trouble up to her eyes
From falling to use what's about the size
OF the egg of the Helpful Hen?
Breathes there child in our broad land.
Who hasn't even an open hand,
And mouth little more open still
With a welcome stomach ready to fill,
And never a thought of "a bitter pill'
When eating with relish, wish and will,
Products of the Helpful HEMP
Breathes there anyone who never sings
In praise of Biddy and what she brings,
Alike to bcggars. as we'll as to kings,
Who covers her brood with outstretched
wings,
And folds them close to incubate
With an early crow and a cackle late
The ever Helpful Hen.

Sailors Eyes and Electricity.

Owing to the intensity of the electric
light used on board of men-of-war men
are frequently affected ' n eye COM
plants, which in some ases have led
to total blindness, says French mill
tary journal. 1t has been observed that
eyes in which the iris is not heavily
charged with pigments, that is to say,
gray and blue eyes, are more likely
to be injuriously affected than brown
eyes. These eye troubles are ascribed
to two causes, viz, the intensity of the
light and the action of the ultraviolet
rays. Oculists recommend the interpo-
sition between the eye and any power
ful light of a transparent substance,
which will intercept the ultraviolet
rays, such as, for instance, uranium
glass, which is yellow. The French
naval authorities supply dark blue
glasses for the use of those who have
to do with searchlights, ETC., and the
eases in which injury has been caused
to the eyes were those of men who had
neglected to use their spectacles,
which, however. do not appear to af-
ford any protection against the ultra
violet ays.-Washington Star.

ON the Columbia river and Audubon
notes that he has seen them in every
part of the United States which he has
visited. The young geese are gray. At
what period they become white is not
definitely known. One that had been
captured while young remained gray
for six years, when in two months time
it grew to be pure white. Every
spring these birds migrate to the north,
and it is a curious fact that the old,
white birds go first, followed week or
two later by the young or gray ones.
DR.. Richardson is authority for the
statement that they breed in the barren
grounds of Arctic America. The young
are able to fly in August, and by the
middle of September they have depart
ed for the south. They mainly feed on
rushes. insects and berries and in turn
are very excellent eating themselves,
but are rarely domesticated.-Orange

Source of Profit.
Prof. Gilbert, of Ottawa, Canada, in
answer to the question: Why is poultry
valuable to the farmer? gives the fol-
lowing reasons:
l. Because he ought by their means
to convert great deal of the waste of
his farm into money in the shape of
eggs and chickens for market.
2. Because with intelligent manage
ment they ought to be all-year revenue
producers with the exception of per-
haps two months during the moulting
period.
3. Because poultry will yield him a
quicker return for his capital invested
than any of the other departments of
agriculture.
4. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make q valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them
selves, if allowed to run in plum or APP
pie orchards. will destroy all injurious
insect life.
5. Because while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised for
table use or layers of eggs in all parts
of the country.
6. Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment in which the farmers wife
and daughters can engage and leave
him free to attend to other dena rtTnaD+o
Z. Because it will bring the best re-
turns in the shape of new laid eggs
during the winter season-when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
8. Because to start poultry raising on
the farm requires little or no capital.
nder any circumstances, with proper
management, poultry can be made with
little cost valuable adjunct to the
farm.-Farm News.

KITES PUPILS BIRDS.
Amusing Experiences OF Scientists
While Making Experiments

While Making Experiments.
Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur-
poses. Large birds are always inter-
ested in the strange devices floating in
the air and cannot make out quite what
they are.
No bird. however has ever alighted
on kite or attacked one. says the Chi
cage News. While one scientist was
flying train of five kites a couple of
years ago, a large silver-tipped eagle
came suddenly out of the higher air and
swooped round and round the first kite,
looking against the sunset sky like
huge silver ball. AS the train of kites
was pulled i'll the eagle followed. visit

uncertain just what to do. In few
minutes, when he seemed to have de-
cided that they were not good to eat.
and he knew nothing about them any
way, he Indignantly flew off and was
lost to view.
Another experience was had with
stork that came from the New Jersey
side of the Hudson and flew straight for
the queer object in the air. He appar-
emily had made up his mind to go
straight through it, but changed and
dived underneath He went around and
above it, and through glass it could be
seen that he cooked his eye at the in
truder in most comical manner He
started away few hundred feet,

back. He finally reluctantly went
away, mystified over this queer add,
ton to the inhabitants of the air.

Never before in medical annals has any

endorsement from physicians, druggists and
all classes of the people as is bestowed upon
the great curer Of disease, DIR. Greene's Nerv-

invigorates the blood, making pure, rich, red
blood, and it is therefore the grandest of blood
medicines. 1t gives life, strength, energy,
power and vigor to the brain and nerves, and
hence is the greatest nerve tonic, brain invig-
GRANT and nerve restorative ever before known
In the worlds history. 1t banishes headache,
backache, neuralgia, rheumatism, and has thus
demonstrated itself to be the surest and quick
est pain reliever in existence. 1t cures stomach,
liver, kidney and female complaints with
positive certainty which is unequaled and I'M

Something That Every Housekeeper

Every good housekeeper knows how

but great many cooks treat a fresh
tongue in such a manner that it be-
comes as flavorless as gelatine.
Properly roasted or praised in stock,
a fresh beef or calf's tongue is de-
hcious meat. 1t is not remarkable for
its nutritious qualities. but, like the
tenderloin of beef, the meat is of good
flavor if it is carefully cooked and
seasoned, and it is always of melting
tenderness.
Select a fresh beef tongue for roast
ing. Wash and trim it thoroughly, and
season it with salt and pepper Wrap
paste around it made of pint of flour
and cupful of water Roll out this
paste thin and wrap it around the
tongue. Lay it on meat rack in a
dripping pan. with pint of boiling wa
ter Roast it for about two hours,
Keep the surface OF the paste from
drying too hard or from burning by
basting it with the boiling water in the
bottom of the dripping pan. At the
end of this time remove the paste. 1t is
of no further value. Loosen the skin of
the tongue and peel it off. 1t should
come off easily. Lay it back in the pan,
rub it freely with butter, dredge il
lightly with flour, and pour little rich
brown stock in the pan under it to haste
it with. Roast it. basting it often. until
