DOROTHY'S CRUSADE.
How 1t Orcred Her Fathers Eyes t,
the EVILS of Cider Making

How 1t Orcred Her Fathers Eyes to
the Evils of Cider Making.
Mamma, was it right fer lot of
ladies to go into saloons and pray and
break up whisky barrels and beer kegs,
as they did in the crusader" asked
Dorothy Lyons, anA.ously.
They thought they were doing
right, my dear; they were Christian
women" answered Mrs. Lyons.
But the whisky and beer belonged
to the saloon keepers, didn't they?"
Yes, Dorothy, but they were used
only to make drunlards and paupers of
men, so those brave women were de-
termined that no more of it should be
sold to ruin their husbands and sons.
They believed it right to destroy it,
just as much so as to kill rattlesnakes
that had been turned loose in COM
munity," Mrs. Lyons explained, glad to
have her little daughter so much inter-
ested.
Bessie Ayres' father aud brothers
get drunk all the time on cider that
they buy from papa; Bessie says so.
And she says plenty of other people do,
too. Don't you think papa ought to
be crusaded. then, the same as the sa-
lOorleepers?"
IL don't know, dear. Ihave never
thought aboutit. 1t certainly is wrong
for papa to make cider, but l can't coax
him to quit"
Why not, mamma? Doesn't he
think it is wrong?"
I'm afraid not, Dorothy, or he
wouldn't go on making it. He says he
uus: have the money ne gets foe the
cider, and that it is perfectly harmless
if people do not drink too much of it.
! feel very sorry and very much
ashamed. but I cannot help it," Mrs.
Lyons said, sadly.
What made those ladies think of GO
ing oGt crusading, mammal"
Il suppose God put it into their
hearts. dear"
Then it isn't wrong to do what God
puts it into our hearts to do?" ques-
toned Dorothy, eagerly.

us to do it to make people better, 1

No Show for the Doctor.

A good anecdote is told of the late
Sir b. w. Richardson. He was travel
ing in England, and had come to a town
of 1000 inhabitants, in which was no
public house, and the village doctor
was nearly starving. While there a
young physician sought his advice as
to taking up practice in the village. The
good doctor, placing his hands on the
young mans shoulders, said: Take my
advice, and don't. These wretched tee
totalers not only shirk accidents, but
when wounded heal so fast that there
is neither pleasure nor profit after the

mer Run for Poultry.
Where fowls are kept in confinement
1t will be found best to provide outdoor
runs or yards for them during the sum
mer months. Give them free access to
III sc yards whenever the weather will
pc init. The most economical form,
everything considered, for poultry
yard is one much longer than wide.
Two rods wide and eight rods long is
sufficient for so fowls. Whenever a
poultry plant of considerable size il
to be established, it will be found most
economical TO arrange the yards side
by side, with one end at the poultry
house. The fences which inclose these
yards may be made of poultry netting
or picliets, and should be at least seven
feet high. In either case it is best to
have a board at the bottom, for some
times it will be desirable to give quite
young chickens the run of these yards.
If the poultry yards are constructed as
described, there is sufficient room for
a row of fruit trees down the center
of the yard, and still leave ample room
for horse cultivation on either side,
either with one or two horses.
These yards are to be kept thorough
ly cultivated. If thought best, gram
may be sown before cultivation to fur
nish part of the green food for the
fowls. OF all fruit trees. probably there
are none that are more suitable for the
poultry yard than the plum. The drop
pings of the fowls will manure the
trees, and the fowls as insect dcstroyers
perform a great office in protecting
plums from the curculio. After the
trees are once well established, a crop
of plums should be secured nearly every
year These, too, will require no extra
cultivation. The plum trees perform a
valuable service in providing shade for
the fowls. Where trees are not avail
able, sunfowers may be used for this
purpose with a considerable degree of
satisfaction. However, some protec-
ton must be given the plants until they
are well established, and even then
many plants will be destroyed unless
the fowls have an abundance of green
food all the time.-Rural World.

or make jelly of all they can't eat raw,
or feed them to the pigs. And now help
us to crusade Mr.. Lyons cider press,
cause Ton! going to split it all into
splinters. Amen!"
The children arose from their knees
soberly, feeling very earnest and sol
emn over the important business before
them.
Mr.. Lyons had been murh amused at
first, but his little daughters speech
and Bessie's quaint prayer socG
strangely changed his heart. He lad
never before felt that he was really
doing wrong in making and selling IL
der to his neighbors. The idea of be-
ing ranked with saloon keepers in the
minds of these innocent children, es-
pecially of his own son and daughter,
was appalling TO him.
He stepped into the barn and walked
hastily up to the half-frightened chill
dren.
They stood their ground resolutely,
though, the spirit OF martyrdom at
work in their brave little hearts.
Tom said respectfully. but without
faltering: We're sorry, papa, but
we're obliged to crusade the cider-press.
We want you to be good so God can love
you, but He can'tif you keep on making
cider. Itdoesn' make any difference If
you don't make so much money. Doro-
thy and l can wear our old clothes and
go barefooted this summer. And man.
mall be gladder than any of us, she's so
ashamed and so sorry for you to be a
drunkard-maker."
'Wait a minute, Toni" Mr.. Lyons
said, hastily, then hurried from the
barn.
Hes going to get switch-you'n
catch it, Toni" said one of the girls.
Tom turned little pale, but showed
no sign of turning away.
In a few minutes Mr.. Lyons came
back with Mrs. Lyons. He carried an
AK, and going up to the cider-press, laid
his hand upon it.
My dear children, I am in
deed going to be better man.
Your strange little crusade has
opened my eyes and reformed me.
l shall never again manufacture or
sell cider to make my neighbors' chill
dren unhappy, and with Gods help l
will undo, as far as can, the mischief
have already done. Go to work, Tom
I'm going to help you!"
And, raising his ak, Mr.. Lyons gave
the first strong, sharp cut into the
cider press. Tom followed his eX-
ample, and soon there was only a pile of
kindling wood and some old iron where
the cider press had been.
The little girls looked on with shin
ing eyes, while Mrs. Lyons, with CRATE
full heart. said: THANK Cod"
And thus the one great curse of that
neighborhood was removed, and happi
ness and sobriety took the place Of
drunkenness, through the influence of
little Dorothy's crusade.-Laura j. Rit-

Laying Hens Need EggsheIIs.

The avidity with which laying hens
will eat crushed eggshells shows how
necessary they are in the hens econ
omy for egg production. There is no
better way to supply the lime required
for eggshells than this. The shells in
the gizzard also act as grit, enabling it
to digest food. The only care in feed
ing is to crush the shell thoroughly, so
that its likeness to the egg may not be
seen. Where eggshells are thrown out
without being crushed the fowls soon
learn the habit of picking at the shells
on eggs, and from this they quickly be-
come egg eaters, a habit which once
formed is never forgotten.

1t has been well attested that bean
straw is a valuable feed for sheep, and
that they are fond of it. The bean, like
clover is a leguminous plant, and many
farmers say that the straw, though
coarse and harsh, has nearly as much
nutrition as clover hay. 1t makes a
very rich manure when fed to either
sheep or cows. That is shown by it's
rotting very fast when piled and giving
off the strong smell of ammonia which
comes from feeding any manure rich in
heterogeneous nutrition.-Dakota Field
and Farm.

WASHING BLANKETS.

Summer is the best time for washing

fill tub half full IF soft hot water in

hands. Rosin soap and hard rubbing
ruins blankets. When clean rinse WELL

dry, fold evenly and put away securely

The water will remain in the inverted

cannot get in and wet themselves or
drown, as so often happens. The water
keeps clean. This is handy device
