A Hens Egg Production.

About 80 eggs per year Is estimated
as the production Of hen, If the flock
is small and well cared for, but with
large fiocks an average of 100 eggs per
hen for one year is about correct, as dis
ease, lice and mismanagement cause
loss. The fowls on farms give larger
profits in proportion to capital repre-
sented than larger stock, but are more
neglected, and, therefore, do not give
as large profits as could be derived from
them.

why Fattening stock Eat Straw

Domestic animals like variety in feed
as much as does man himself. Posi-
bly, they are more partial to variety
than are men and women, because the
taste of animals is less vitiated. A fat
tening steer or sheep which is fed
highly heterogeneous food will eat good
deal of bright grain straw, so as to sup
ply the proper proportion of carbona-
ceous nutrition. When animals are fed
corn, less straw will be eaten, as the
corn is itself chiefly starch, which Is
only another form Of carbon. For
sheep that are fed beans and bean
straw, the straw Of wheat or oats will
be eaten almost as readily rs hay. 1t
is needed to prevent the heterogeneous
ration being too concentrates.

Household Hints.


For chocolate stains use cold water
first, then boiling water from the tea
kettle.
Old coffee and tea stains, which have
become ''set," should be soaked in cold
water first, then boiling.
For fresh tea and coffee stains use
boiling water. Place the linen stained
over a large bowl, and pour through 1t
boiling water from the tea kettle, held
at height to insure force.
For tired feeling put a handful Of
common salt into four quarts of hot
water. Place the feet into the water
while 1t is hot as 1t can be borne. Then
rub the feet dry with rough towel.
One of the best dlsinfectants in the
sick room is basin of fresh water.

Skim Milk for Calves.

Skim milk for calves must always be
fresh, and should be given warm. The
use of thermometer will save the life
of calves In cold weather, as the tenn

the temperature by hand is simply

Cow Pens in the Orchard.

A Western fruit grower states that
he has had excellent results in his or
chard by growing cow peas therein, and
allowing the crop to be harvested by
hogs. Not only is the land benefited
by the shade, but the hogs grow and
fatten rapidly, the peas and vines being
heterogeneous. His fruit crops are large,

Preparation for winter.

Summer farming is but preparation
for winter. Food is cheaper in summer,
but prices are lower. While the PCS
ture is a valuable aid to the dairyman,
It is sure to cheaper prices at times
when grass is abundant, the market
being regulated by the supply. The
best dairymen grow crops for use on
the farm in winter, preferring to feed
their produce at the barn and convert
1t into milk and butter in winter, when
higher prices rule.

Justice Gaynor, in tho Supreme Court in
Brooklyn, handed down a decision yesterday
continuing the injunction against Mayor Glea-
son Of Long Island City preventing the city au-
thorities from entering into q contract with the
Woodside Water Company. He says that the
Woodside Water Company was organized in

incorporators, and owned 400 shares OF its stock
us against 63 shares held by tho other incor.
porators.
''The said Mayor Justice Gaynor adds. was
also tho individual owner of the land trans
ferred to the said water company. and from
which it obtains its water supply, and it is al

and other Commissioners. entered into the con-
tract in question with the water company. with

ing, and injuring tho city's plant, and getting
money from the city"
The contract requires the city to pay to tho

JOKE IN A pOOL ROOM.
a Markers Idea or the Odds He Could Lay
AEaInat the Mnyoralty CnndIdatea.

A marker in one OF the pool rooms now doing
business at Blissville. Long Island. amused a
large crowd Of bettors yesterday afternoon be-
tween races by chalking up on the blackboard
the names OF the different Mayoralty candidates
and quoting odds against their chances Of cleo
ton according TO his IDEAS on the subject. Tho
names OF the candidates were placed in the col
umn on the big blackboard marked on for
horses, while in the next column. where the
names OF the jockeys are usually put, he wrote
tho names OF party leaders.
The nr-t name Uut up was that OF Van Wyck,
with Croker AS the rider and l to u as the odds.
Next came Tracy, with Pintt AS the rider. Tho
odds against his chances were quoted at even
money. The next in line was George, with Tom
Johnson up, although the marker announced
that there was some doubt about his riding. be-
cause it was feared he couldn't make the weight,
as George was in very light. The price against
his chances was 10 to l.. Low. with Reynolds
to ride. was at the long odds OF 20 to /. The last
candidate was Pat Gleason, with Pat Murphy
in the saddle. When 200 to l was chalked up
against him the crowd roared.
