THE NURSERY AND THE THRONE

Few people realize the extent to which the

There have been many causes for the extraordi-
nary popularity with which the reigning family
Of Great Britain has become invested since the
accession to the crown of Queen Victoria
Among them has been the appeal to the senti-

which constitutes striking a feature of the

The Home Influence,

Charity begins at home," says the
old adage, and we might add, $50 does
every other good thing" Possibly we
might go still farther and say much of
the mischievous evil of life begins there,
too. Certain it is that whenever good
men set themselves to do a good work
in this crooked world their thoughts
turn always to their homes, as If there
they must look for the very heart of the
nation. Make the home what it should
be and the land will take care of itself.
Save the children of to-day and we
have made sure of blessed tomorrow.
Any uplifting influence, then, that puri-
fies and strengthens the home, any
cheerful influence that gladdens it,
should meet with cordial welcome from
the hearts of those who desire that the
lax be laid at the very root of the tree"
Nay, more than cordial welcome should
be given; every movement designed to
bless the home should have the earnest

AGRICULTURAL HINTS

Constructed ON Simple and at the
Same Time Correct Principles.
The incubator has come to stay in the
poultry world, and many farmers are
also availing themselves of it's advan-
tages. Where incubators are used, one
must have Breeders, and unless these
can be made at home, the expense of
Q Matching plant" is very materially
increased. Fortunately, breeders eau
be constructed that will do very good
work, though of course they must be
watched a little more closely than
would be necessary with the self-regu-
lifting breeders that one can buy.
A plan is shown herewith that gives
brooder constructed on simple and
at the same time correct principles.
The diagram, Fig. 1, is very nearly self
explanatory. A box three feet square,
or Whereabouts, has in the bottom a
brooder lamp or stove. Above this IS
sheet of iron as large as the inside
of the box, and supported at the four
sides, and by an iron prop near the
lamp, if it is inclined to sag. Make the
edges alright with cement, SO that no

ing in the side near the bottom of the
lamp chamber, and one near the top
on the opposite sides, give fresh air for
the lamp and an exit for it's fumes. The
lamp is inserted through small door
i'll the side of the box. One whole side
of the brooder chamber is drop door,
for the easy sweeping out of the floor.
The top Tin door) can have pane of
glass in it, so one may see the chicks,
and the thermometer hanging against
one side. Glass on two sides gives
light. The top must fit very tightly.
If this brooder is to be used out of
doors, roof must be added, as indi-
Gated by dotted lines. The corners of
the breeders are cut off, as seen in Fig.

into them and the weak be trampled
upon and smothered by the stronger,

This is an important matter and should
not be overlooked. - Orange Judd

HARMONY IN MARRIED LIFE.
The Right Kind of a Wife Makes the

work, the days loving and the days
sympathy. Look for his good qualities.
He is like you in having faults; with
very little trouble you can find these
faults, and by talking about them and
reminding him of them you can make
your married life uncomfortable. You
can bring about heartburnings, you can
cause strife, and before you know it
hatred may take the place of love. Look
for his virtues, and, seeking always for
goodness, you will grow better every
day just as certainly as you would grow
bad if you looked only for that which
was wicked. Remember there is much
that will have to be forgiven in you, and
whenever you feel inclined to remind
Tom of a weakness read the book in
which is set down your foibles and your
follieS. A woman who. even after her
marriage, carefully studies her profess
sion, can make her husband what she
wishes him to be. Everything that is
good is contagious, and the right kind
of wife makes the right kind of a hus-
band.
Respect the rights of your husband;
he is a man. not n child and how can the
world honor him when you, who are his
closest companion, do not? DO not,
even in jest, deride or underrate him.
People are slow about deciding when
one is jesting or when one is in earnest.
And what you meant to be funny may
cause some stupid person to say: How
horrid Tom must be! Why, his wife

OILING THE HARNESS.
If Undertaken at All, This WOrl
should BE Done Well.

Should BE Done Well.
Harness will last much longer and
look much better if kept well oiled, and
will not get so stiff after being exposed
to days rain. During the spring it is
difficult to keep harness from getting
wet, and it will pay well before the sea-
sons work begins to see that it is thor
oughly oiled. In doing. the work, the
harness should be taken apart and
washed clean, using warm water and
CASTLE soap, and then wiped dry, when
the oil should be applied. If so clean
that washing is not needed, it will be
better to wipe off with wet rag as the
Cling can be done better. 1t is best 10
take harness all apart, in order to get at
all of the parts and oil thoroughly.
Good harness oil can be purchased all
ready for use, or neatsfoot oil, with a
little lamp black, will be found good. If
the harness has not been oiled for some
time and is hard and dry, it will be best
to go over them twice, finishing all UP,
and then commencing with the frst
piece and going over again. After every
part has been thoroughly oiled, it
should all be hung up over frame OF
some kind and allowed to dry. Itshould
not be hung in the sun or where the
wind strikes, as it will dry too rapidly.
The oil should have plenty of time to
soak in. Like most other work on the
farm, if undertaken it will pay to do
well.-Journal of Agriculture.

Horses Holding Their own.

An observing gentleman from the
west says he believes the market for
horses is rapidly improving. He says
people got the idea that electricity and
the bicycle were going to render the
demand for horses less than they have.
In some parts of the west horses are
now becoming scarce because they have
been disposed of at an astonishing rate.
Electricity has about run it's length as
a disrlacer of horses and the bicycle is

in the future is a problem, but until
highways are materially improved, it
cannot come into general use.

Feeding the Laying Hens.

1t is mistake to keep the laying hens
with those which do not produce eggs,
for the reason that the layers require
more food than the others, and do not
receive it. Usually when hens do not
lay they are too fat, and should be fed
OF foods containing but little grain, and
also fed sparingly; consequently, when
all the hens are together, the non-pro-
duclng hens may become fatter while
the layers do not receive enough. 1t
does not pay to feed hens that do not
give a {eturn for the food consumed

BUSINESS METHODS.
Why Farmers Should Look After
Their Insurance Policies

AhCAE k-OIlcleSs
Farmers sometimes forfeit their in
surance by neglect. While the mu-
tual companies do not, as we under.
stand it, hold farmers to the strict
letter of the law, as do the stock COM
panies, but go more on the equities Of
the case in their settlements than on
strictly legal points, nevertheless it
is wise to have everything straight
at the start and keep it straight. For
example, many farmers during the
year make additions to their build
iEgs. The company should be in
formed of this fact and additional
insurance, whether against fire, light
ming or tornado, should be taken out
to cover the increased value. Many
farmers sell or trade properties during
the year and this vitiates their policy
unless an assignment is made, returned
to the company, and new policy
issued. Where farmers do not sell
outright they frequently deed por-
tions OF their property to their wives
or members of their families, thus
making change of title and in each
case the policy should state the facts.
Another matter. In making out
policy always see that the property
that you wish to protect is specifically
mentioned in the policy and that it
is SO mentioned that there can be no
dispute about it. For example, we
heard of case lately that is likely to
lead to litigation in stock company.
The farmer so insured carried so much
insurance on grains. A fire occurred
and in addition to the grains lot OF
clover seed was burned. The question
came up at once, is clover seed a grain?
It will be very difficult to prove that
it is. Therefore the policy should read
grain and clover seed, or any other
kind of seed.
Another matter. Always keep your
policy where you will know where to
get it should it be needed for any pur-
pose and if possible keep it in fire.
proof safe. Bankers usually take care
Of papers of this kind and it would be
a good thing to leave your policies
together with your banker, or in some
other place where they are as safe as
possible from fire.-Wallace's Farmer.

Separate the FIOcks.

The first thing TO do with focks that
are kept on farms rather than on
ranches is to separate the flock into a
number of small ones, each composed
of one kind, and having a regard to sex,
age and general condition. The weak
ones should not be placed with the
ctrong. The weather or stock flock
should be in one flock, the breeding

HEADACHE AND NEURALGIA.
From the Journal. Ottawa. Ill.


Fred Haeberlin, shoe dealer, of Ottawa,
III, can claim rather unique distinction.
He was the first man in Ottawa, H., to buy
box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills That was
three years ago and Mr.. Haeberlin says he
has never had cause for regretting that pur-
chase. In conversation held few days
ago Mr.. Haeberlin said:
My wife,. for long time was greatly
troubled with neuralgia, headache and nerY-
business. About three years ago, friend
of mine, travelling man told me to get some
of Williams Pink Pills and have my wife
try them. Upon looking up the remedy |
some pretty strong statements in favor of it.
II went to the drug stores but not single
one of them kept the article. Then went
to Graham & Yentzer's drug store and had
George Yentzer send for some of the pills.
Well, they came and | took them home
the effect was marvelously favorable, and
her condition began to improve steadily, IT
was but a short time until the headaches had
almost wholly disappeared and the general
state of her health was much helped. My
wife kept on using the pills and likewise
time her condition was more healthy than
for several years. Is it any wonder that we
both became true friends of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.. My wife is well woman now
and we both ascribe the fact to Pink Pills. :
"The remedy did so much for us that
have recommended it to ever SO many since
got that first box and, if do say it, be-
lieve am largely responsible for starting
the large sale of the pills in Ottawa. There
is not drug store in the city now that does
not sell Dr. Williams Pink Pills."
John Hardin, who is engaged in the tail
oring business in Ottawa, says: :.
"Count me as one who has been benefited
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

them and built up my system my trouble in
that respect has been much bettered, as has
also my indigestion. They are great tonic,
and certainly endorse their use most heart
lily. I always recommend them to my
friends"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills'contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, irregularities and all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood, and
restore the glow of health to pale and sallow
cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure
in all cases arising from mental worry, over
