THE MoLTING PERIOD.
Time of the Year When Hens Re-
quire Close Attention.

Time of the Year When Hens Re-
quire Close Attention.
The greatest care must be taken to
keep fowls in good condition during
the molting season. 1t is drain on
their vital powers to furnish the ma
terial for full coat of new feathers.
There is apt to be laXity of attention
to their feeding during this period on
account of their cessation of laying,
when in fact there should be more care
taken, II is good plan to select all
the fowls that it is desired to winter or
keep for breeding, and market the bal
ance. This will cut down the expense
of the molting season. Hens which will
molt early, if they are in good condi-
ton and comfortably housed, will near
" always make the best winter lay
ers, while the later molters will rarely
lay until spring These latter should
have place where they can keep warm
and dry, and be given an abundance of
nutritious food.
The period of molting may be short
ened by careful attention and a supply
of food rich in muscle, bone and feath-
er-forming materials rather than fat
making foods. Always provide pure,
| fresh water and keep the quarters
| clean. Wheat, oats, linseed meal, bone
meal, meat scraps and fresh ground
bones make better food at this time
than corn or anything that may be
considered a fattening ration. While
it may not be best to feed the chickens
all they will eat, in nearly all cases lib
eral feeding and the supplying of u
good variety will be found the most
desirable thing to do. The hens need
to take sufficient exercise to be healthy.

smothered by Fly Paper.

There is danger in many apparently
harmless articles, and fly paper seems
to be one of these. A family, having
been greatly troubled with flies, dis,
tributed lot of sticky fly papers around
the house. The next day, little boy
just learning to walk, while at play,
tripped and fell, his face sticking on a
piece of the fly paper. The parents
were out of the room, and the little one,
in trying to remove the paper, only
succeeded in getting it tightly sealed
around his mouth and nostrils, thus
shutting off his breath. By the merest
chance the mother happened in and
saved the child from suffocation. Even
then it was necessary to cut holes in the
paper hurriedly to allow breathing until
the paper could be soaked off.

A MALIGNANT ENEMY.
why the Bce Moth Should BE Fought
with UtmOat XiEOr.

WIN NlEOE-
Bees are capable of taking care of
themselves, under ordinary circum-
stances, if the colonies are strong, but
if they become weak in numbers and
the food supply diminished towards
the starvation point, owing to an un-
favorable season, or for any other
causes, the enemies of the little work
ers find access and encroach upon ALI
that remains. The bee moth is one of
the enemies most to be dreaded. These
insects may be seen flying about in the
evening and are attracted by the light
of lamp or candle and may be de-
stroyed to some extent by making n
lighted trap. If not carefully guarded
against, they will deposit their eggs in
favorable conditions about the hives
which soon hatch out brood of worms.
These eworms form the pupa or chrysalis
state, by inclosing themselves in a
silky web which may be found about
the empty combs and the joints of the
hives, ready when the time comes to
again change to the butterfly stage of
transformation. These insect enemies
of the bee should be destroyed, If pos
aible, whenever any evidence of their
presence appears.--FarmerS' Union.

He Raised the Wind.

The ship had lain becalmed in tropical
sea for three days. Not a breath of air
stirred the mirror like surface of the sea or
the limp sails that hung from the yards like
drapery carved in stone. The captain re.
solved to wait no longer. He piped up all
hands on deck, and requested the passengers
to also come forward Il must ask all of
you," he said, "to give me every match you
have" Wonderingly the passengers and
crew obeyed. The captain carefully ar
handed him his store, until all had been col.
lected. Then he threw them all overheard
but one, drew a cigar from his pocket, and,
striking the solitary match on the mainmast,
endeavored to light it. In an instant fu.
rious gale swept over the deck, extinguished
the match, and filled che sails, and the good
ship Mary Ann sped through the waves on
her course.-Philadelph Inquirer.
