Whole Grain for Fowls,

All kinds Of poultry have very strong
digestive organs, provided they have
the gravel with which to fill the giz-
yards, and have enough exercise to
keep in vigorous health. They are pos
itively injured by having the bulk of
their food ground, moistened or cooked
so as to make its digestion easier.
Young chicks are most apt to be in
jured in this way, the popular idea be-
ing that as they are very small their
gizzards cannot digest hard substances.
We always began feeding young chicks
with cracked wheat, giving in addition
some milk curd pressed hard, which is
quite as difficult of digestion as the
wheat. They will not eat much wheat
at first, and it is best they should not.
Little and often should be the rule with
all young animals, chicks included.

Hints About Vanished Furniture.

Dry channels skin should never he
used on vanished work. If the var
nish is defaced and shows white marks,
apply linseed oil and turpentine with
q soft rag till the color comes back.
then wipe the mixture entirely off with
clean,s soft, dry rag. The oil and tur-
pentine should be used in equal guam
titles and shaken we'll in a bottle before
using. In deeply carved work use a
stiff paint brush instead of a sponge.
In vanishing old furniture, rub it
first With powdered prumice stone and
water to remove the old yarniSh, and
then, with an elastic bristle brush, APP
ply varnish made of the consistency OF
cream by the addition of turpentine.-

To Remove Grease Stains.

Grease stains on a carpet may be re-
moved in variety Of ways; one Of the
simplest is to take piece of blotting
and a similar piece on the top of the
mark. Then press the part with hot
iron; this will cause the grease to be
absorbed by the blotting paper An
other method is to add some bOrax to
warm water in which soap has been
dissolved and we'll brush the stained
also useful; it should be diluted with
water and rubbed on the carpet.

to bring it to a somewhat thin consis-

it, and add just at the last, as you are
about to dish it, the yolks of two eggs
beaten up in two or three tablespoon
fuls of cream.

side arms so that the kettle can be read
lily tipped and it's contents poured out
into pals. These arms could be omit
ted by bringing the end support nearer
the kettle, and having the iron ring
pivoted to crosspiece secured to these
ends. This would be more stable ar
rangement but would not give so free
space for building the fire, although
this would not cause material trouble.
The principle involved will be found
very convenient, however the ring,

Care of Farm Implements.

Care of Farm Implements.
Far more waste of farm implements
is due to rust and diSuSe than Is the
wear Of them while some one is work
ing with them They are too often left
exposed for weeks and months during
the worst weather in the year, and
thus treated will not last one-third as
long, as they should not be fit to use
any of the time. A convenient tool
house near enough to the barns to be
always easily accessible, yet not near
enough to be in danger from fires, will
pay better than almost any other in
yestment OF most farms.
Swine.
1t is easy to "save at the spigot and
waste at the bung" when keeping grow
ing swine. There is most profit in keep
ing them growing steadily and fast.
The SOW with long, deep, fiat side
makes the best brood SOW. The clos
ing knit, plump, rounded SOW rarely has
large filters and she is as rarely good
mother.
Horses.
If you have a horse that refuses to
wrap it twice around the leg just below
the knee, draw it tight and tie it. In
a few minutes the horse will start. If
he should show any indications of re-
peating the offense repeat the dose and
he will be cured efectually.
Bee Buzzes.
Moth worms bother Italian bees very
little.
Spring dwindling is the result Of bad
Wintering.
The nourishment- Of the bee consists
Of honey and pollen.
It is an advantage always to furnish
a new swarm with frame Of young
brood.
Good chaff hives are quite a protec-
ton to early brood rearing if managed
properly.
Bees when building comb commence
at the top and hang in heavy clusters
to their combs.
Keep the colonies strong and healthy
and they will readily take care of the
moths.
A piece Of ground taken up with bee
hives is Of little value for anything else
except fruit.
After cold weather sets in 1t is not
safe to feed liquids. The only food
that we can use Is candy, which may
be made from granulated sugar.

I1ti1;ze Every Article.

Farmers may have but little faith in
the reports on feeding stock as given by
the experimental stations, nevertheless
tho farmer who has some knowledge OF
the results obtained by q systematic
course of feeding will be better prepar-
ed to meet difficulties than one who IS
not. The fact that farmers are becom-
ing less wasteful Of their fodder and
straw shows that they have at least
discovered that in order to compete In
cattle raising they must utilize every
article on the farm.

Stacking Corn Fodder.

In some sections of the country corn
fodder is tied in bundles and stacked
like grain. The bundles are bound with
straw bands in convenient size for ham
ding. To begin the stack or rick, lay
down three bundles side by side, then
two on top of these and one on top Of
the two. Duplicate this pile until the
rick is as long as desired. Now set bun
dies on each side of this foundation and
also at the ends until the bottom is of
the desired width. On this build the
rick as you would wheat or rye, only
keep the center. higher by letting the

A Prayer for Larger Growth.

Christ, who dost bid me not to let my
heart be troubled, believe in God and in
thee. Let thy JOY be in me, and let IL be
fulfilled. Fulfilled in the presence Of fail
ure If thou didst send the failure, and my
own folly did not invite it; fulfilled in sick
ness, IL the great Physician bestows the sick
ness In order to beat me fulfilled in loneliness
II the solitude is crowded with thee: fulfilled
even In death, when death is the shadow of
thy light. Wherever ] turn my weeping eyes
thy loving face is a tender reproach. Imourn
over my sins in such wise that the mourn
ing Is an added sin. grieve at my poor
service Of God and Of man, and that grief
hinders my service. | sorrow at my paltry
growth-a growth that sorrow dwarfs and
JOY enlarges. Blessed Lord. who dost die in
my deaths, take me into thy resurrection
life. will forget failure and gloom will
forget duty, even the duty of joy; and will
learn privilege. Speed me on thy errands
so swiftly that shall have no time for
moodness. Take me into thy joy so COM
pletely that shall not even consider whether
am joyful. And all through no grace of
my own. but out OF thy love which has prom
lsed and never failed. Amen.

A Curious Accident.

A naturalist whose tastes lead him
to the investigation Of curious phe.
nomena, has found o number of deep.
sea fish dead from what appear to be
internal explosions indeed. this was
the precise cause OF their death. A
fish OF this sort sometimes gives chase
for its prey and reaches higher level
than that to which it is adapted. I'm.
mediately the swimming bladder,
which is filed with air, becomes dis.
tended, and the helpless owner shoots
upward ut great rate OF speed. As
1t asoends, the pressure on the bladder
decreases, and probably long before
it reaches the surface it bursts. In
some cases there is serious distortion
and mutilation, the creature being al.
most torn in pieces. There have been
some experiments in deep.sea angling.
Ground sharks have been brought ur
from q depth OF five hundred feet.
They are always dead when they reach
the surface OF the water.

Types OF Kentucky Saddle-HO Horses.

Kentuckians have bred saddle.horses
for beauty and charm, and have got
them. There is a charm about the
Kentucky horse that no other Ameri-
eau horse has. No other animals l
have met IN the country exist IN the
memory with quite the fascination of
certain horses 1 have seen in Ken.
tucky. There was, for instance, few
miles from Lexington, a roam gelding
that had this fascination to high de-
gree. He had the graceful Kentucky
characteristics-and yet with differ
ence. His beauty appeared particu.
larly in t! shape of the rump and in
the carriage of tho tail. There was an
exquisite trick in the conformation of
the quarters. Charming and very
Kentucky" you SAID, as you looked at
them, and yet you felt You had never
seen quite that before. 1t was per-
haps bold flight nearer the Kentucky
ideal than you had seen. This quality
of the figure was certainly due to an
infusion of the Denmark grace. The
tail was the other chief beauty. There
was an airy grace III the carriage of it
which reminded you of the fortunate
work of some architect of genius.
"What have you done to him p Ii said,
referring to the graceful lightness
with which the tail was held. "Noth-
ing" said the farmer; "as you drive
out Of the gate you will see his old
dam in the pasture to the left, and you
will see that she crrries Just the same
tail that he does" did look at tho
mare on the way out, and it was SO.
This carriage of the tail is also Dem
mark characteristic. 1t is said, by the
way, that this tail has been transmit.
