Poultry Points.

Have you selected your best and sold
the culls? If not, why not?
We should manage not to keep a fowl
or chick any longer than they are a
source of income.
To sell our best even at good price
is foolishness; as long as we wish to
breed we should keep them.
The knowing just what to sell and
just when to sell is often the difference
between success and failure.
It is no earthly use feeding lot Of
chicks that are of no use only for the
pot; sell them and use the money to
buy fed for the rest.
Of course our best breeders must
not be disposed Of even when they are
not laying, as they must be kept for
breeding purposes.
1t is not good policy to sell all the
cockerels, even if you do not want but
one as breeder; by keeping three or
four you will have better selection,
and then if you keep but one, he might
die, then you would be compelled to
buy breeder.-Interstate Poultryman.

His Views.

The Rev. R. S. Hawker, rector of
Morwenstow in Cornwall, was the poet
of his rocky and beautiful corner Of
England. It has been said of him that
he was poet first divine afterWard.
His great and stirring song: "And
shall Trelawney die?" will never be
forgotten in Cornwall, and all his lyrics
of the region are touched by such true
and haunting local color that they can
never be disassociated from the place.
But aside from his poetic gifts, this
noted churchman had a fine sense of
humor Many persons doubted wheth-
er he was at one with his own church,
or whether he had inner leanings to-
ward the Papal communion. Querists,
however got little satisfaction out of
him. One day some one asked him
pointblank, What are your views?"
He walked up to his window, and
looked out on the Atlantic
''If,' said he, my eyes were strong
enough, 1 should have perfect view
of Labrador"

The Care of Beds.

Many housewives who in all other
respects are model housekepers are apt
to neglect the proper airing of the beds.
The desire of the energetic housewife
is to have her work "all done up and
her house in perfect order very early
in the morning, and as a consequence
what is intended for neatneSs and Or
der becomes quite the reverse, for a
bed should never be made. up il less
than two hours after it has been Occu-
pied. When leaving the sleeping room
in the morning, throw, or, rather,
spread, all the covers over a chair be-
fore an open window and turn the mat

freely pass over it. If this is not thor
oughly done, the bedding not Only
comes to have close and disagreeable
odor, but that very Odor becomes in it.
self warning, for perfect and health

Have the coverings light and warm.
Wooden blankets are far better than
heavy comfortables, which retain the
exhalations of the body and do not al

also be light and open in texture, and
the sheets frequently changed. Hair
pillows are better than those made of
feathers, and should also be placed in
a free current of air daily.

Sow Plaster Early.

- The experience of farmers who have
used plaster most shows that it can
not be relied upon to do any good if
sown after most of the spring rains
have passed. How early it can be sown
with advantage cannot be said. 1t was
common practice of an old farmer of
our acquaintance to SOW plaster on the
snow at the same time he sowed his
clover and grass seed. If there is d
clover seeding on the ground, the plas-
ter may be sown any time in winter or
even the previous fall. 1t will help the
clover until the field is plowed again
It is supposed that one advantage of
the plaster is in absorbing ammonia.
from sthe air and rain. But there is
more ammonia in most snow in proper
ton to the water it contains than in
any rainfall For that reason sowing
plaster on snow that fey in large, open
flakes, and therefore absorbed most
ammonia from the air, will probably be
advisable.-American Cultiyator.

The Coy kitchen.

Tn modern kitchen, incased in brick
walls at the back of the house, lacks
much of the charm associated with the
old fashioned kitchen of generation
or so ago. Yet a small expenditure Of
time and money will make bright and
cheerful an apartment where at least
one human being spends three-quarters
of her life. A clock ticking cheerily and
some thin white sash curtains at the
window add much to its comfort and
cost but little. The floor should be COW
cred with a bright oilcloth or linoleum,
and the walls tinted some sunshiny col
or. A rack for three or four books and
two or three plants on the window-sills
will help to brighten the kitchen, and
there are but few maids who will not
appreciate these efforts made in her be-
half.

of no means by which this pretty, slen-

With a little cry of horror she recoils
from them. Perhaps her nerves are
more out of order than she knows: per-

and her reception from her guardian at
the end OF it-So different from what she
had imagined-have all helped to undo
her. Whatever be the cause, she sud-
denly covers her face with her hands and
bursts into tears.

ly, and then-sobbing heavily between
her broken words-"Oh, / see how it is.

of tearing his hair, rushes from the room,
and StaggerS downstairs to those other
apartments where Hardinge had elected
to sit and see out the farce. comedy or
tragedy, whichever it may prove, to its
bitter end.
The professor bursts in like a maniac.

Water over Underdraine.

It often happens when ground is
frozen deeply and thaWs suddenly that
water will stand over the drains for
several hours. This only means that
the frozen soil does not let the water
through to the drain. But this never
occurs long enough to do any injury
even to winter grain. The warm air
from the drain is always thawing the
soil from below, and it does not take
many hours if the drain is deep one
for the warm air to break through.

Wood Ashes for Heavy Soils.

All heavy soils contain some potash,
but it is often in form not available
for crops. Hence ashes or other forms
Of available potash may do as much
good on heavy loans as they do on
sandy soils naturally deficient in this
mineral. Even if potash is present in
sandy soils it is quite likely to be in the
form Of silicate Of potash, which is
insoluble except in contact with some
thing that is fermenting. It is thus
that dressing of stable manure hav-
ing very little potash itself may make
bright, clean straw where it is applied,
while on the land not MANFRED the
grain and straw will be rusted. It is
potash or the lack of it that makes this
difference, and the result shows that
the manure made soluble enough pot
ash in the soil to maintain healthful
plant growth.

Profit in young AnimaIs.

It is mighty poor stock that will not
pay profit while it is young. The cost,
of keeping is smallest then, and its
growth from the same feed is greatest.
An old farmer who always grew hogs
said that the market never got too low
for him to make some profit. All he did
as the price went down was to kill the
pigs or sell them alive while still young.
ut is curious" he used to say, show
many farmers toward spring want to
buy young pigs They will often pay
nearly as much as the same animal will
be worth after keeping all summer, es-
pecially if the price of pork declines,
as it is apt to, between spring and fall.

products in small driblets may seem a
hardship, but it teaches how little sums
of money accumulate if they are saved,
which is a much better lesson than that
of learning how fast they add up when
they are ca1elessly spent.

Coal to Boil Sap.

Under the old methods of tapping
trees enough were killed by the severe
gashes made to keep the fires supplied
that are needed to boil the sap. But in
most places coal is quite as cheap a

trees have to be cut down to feed the
fires. A wood flame is sure to be I'M
