Overcrowding Cattle.

Cattle should never be overcrowded
IN their winter quarters. In the sum-
aer the case is not Of so great import
,nce, for then the windows and doors
are wide open. But in the winter the
stables must be kept so tightly closed
that all the carbon emanating from the
breath of the cattle accumulates in
their sleeping quarters and poisons and
weakcns the systems of all. When the
cattle are not overcrowded this is bad
enough. but when packed in closely the
inconvenience becomes positive dan
ger. Such stables, too, are rarely Kept
clean. and all kinds of diseases are en-
abled to get foothold. 1t is very in
convenient to arrange proper ventiia-
ton for crowded stables, as too great a
circulation Of air is required. Drafts
are created that are likely to prove
very detrimental to the health of all
the animals in the barn. A disease
once started in crowded stable is
likely to prove very expensive to the
owner of the stock. Every considera-
ton should lead stockmen to give their
stock sufficient room.

Tho Guinea Fowl.

1t would be a good plan for all poul-
try raisers to have few guinea fowls
about their poultry premises, says
Poultry Herald. They are hardy, good
natured and beautiful. 1t is well to
keep them as tame as possible, and
always have them around the home, as
they make an excellent watch dog"
their shrill cry frightening away
hawks and other marauders. The poul-
tryman's greatest enemy in the south
is the sparrow hawk, and our neigh
bors have lost as many as dozen
chickens a day by hawks alone, while
we never lost but three chicks from
that source, and we believe all credit
is due the guinea. They will live and
prove profitable for eight or ten years,
and no farm should be so crowded but
that it could make room for at least
one pair Of guineas. They destroy a
vast amount of insects and clean the
fields of seeds that would otherwise go
to waste, costing almost nothing to
raise, and no better meat can be found
in the poultry line, unless it be the
turkey.

CHAPTER II.

Miss Patience had heard the thought
less words. She handed over the shin
ing garlands on mistletoe to the merry
girls who ran into the library for them
then dropped her hands listlessly into
her lap as she looked far away through
the window-not at the holiday sights
without, out down long vista of years
at a girlhood as gay and impulsive as
Gracie's and Nellie's own. 1t was not
80 strange that they should laugh at
the idea Of any one caring to surprise
Aunt Patience under the mistletoe
Dough, nor that to their sixteen or
seventeen years thirty-five should seem
a period of life entirely remote from
all thought of romance.
When hearts are fresh and sympa-
thetic and loving, as Miss Patience had
always been, the touch of years falls
lightly. But it had come to her once
before, kind of revelation, this real
ization that youth was past. An old
time friend, one of those overhonest
persons who must say the truth and
the whole truth even at a venture OF
saying little more, on meeting her
for the first time after lapse of years,
had followed up her first greeting with.
How you have changed, Patience! But
then you can't deny that you are no
longer young"

A Fighting Bantam.

A gentleman relates to the Farmers
Review a story of the destructive work
done by pet bantam. The man In
question had about twenty-five hens
sitting, most of which brought OF
nearly full broods of chicks. He felt
very proud Of the very large hatch and
took good care of them, hoping to raise
a large number. Everything went well
for some time, but after while he
began to find dead chicks In the nests
of the hens that had brought off new
broods. For some days the mystery
seemed inexplicable. But he set q
watch and the mischief-maker was dis
covered. A pet bantam hen was seen
to fly over the fence into the yard In
which the chicks and their mothers
were kept. She would Immediately ap-
proach some brood and make show Of
attacking the chicks. The chicks would
run under the wings Of their mother
and the latter would give battle to the
bantam. The old hen being unable to
move from her position, by reason OF
the chicks lowering under her wings.
she was not able to drive the bantam
away, but in her movements succeeded
in trampling to death several chicks.
It was surmised that this incident lad
been repeated from day to day, the
number of chicks killed being A. The
bantam was Immediately killed and the
losses stopped. This illustrates the
necessity of using great care to protect
the broods from intrusion by quarrel

The Egg and Sex.

Periodically and frequently goes
around the report that eggs wrinkled
at the narrow ends produce cockerels
says the Country World. To the stu
dent of embryolegy this fallacy is al
once apparent. For the first few days
the chicken is sexual, and then to about
the seventh day tits distinctly hernia
phrodite and contains within itself the
elements of both sexes. After this stage
it verges in one direction, one set OF
organs developing and the other dimin-
ishing, according as to whether the
germ is going to produce male or a
female. So that if the germ had liv-
ing conscience. 1t would not know at
the sixth day which sex it would ulti-
mately be.

CHAPTER Ill

In another handsome home a young
girl sat dreamily rocking before g
glowing fire when the doorbell rang
mot callers, hope" and it was with
| a gesture Of Impotence that she took
the card the servant brought in. But
her face frightened as she glanced al
the elegant script.
ooh, it's Miss Fairlee! Show her
right up here"
Indeed Miss Patience" she said
impulsively, when she had seated her
visitor in the warmest corner, II don't
think any one else would be quite so
welcome as yourself this afternoon.
You always seem so glad to see people
happy, and l am very happy indeed"
There was, by way of emphasis, a
little wave Of one pretty hand, and
Miss Patience was not slow to discover
that it was meant as well to direct at
tention to the ring that sparkled on the
third finger.
"You see," as she grew more con-
fdential, "Will said he meant to wait
until tomorrow, but he couldn't, and"
as the bright color rose in her face
81 am very glad he did not, for 1 am
so happy"
Miss Patience went down to the
street again feeling that, in a certain
sense, her calls were likely to provo a
failure.
There was furry of snow in the
81, oh ri
Il might just as WELL" she thought,
"for clearly 1 am not in accord with
the season, nor with other people"
She was annoyed and impatient with
herself, for, try as she would, she could
not forget that in that far-away time
she had been little unjust to Robert.
She had been proud Of him, ambitious
for him; but how proud of him and
how dear his success would be to her
she had not let him know. And he,
high-spirited and sensitive, had misun-
derstood.
Twas nothing, really nothing more
than "trifles light as air." but there
had opened that breach between them,
and he had gone off West somewhere.
The letter she was tempted to write
and which. she left sure, would have
brought him home again fast enough,
she had been little too proud to write,
and now she did not even know where
he was. HIS own family had not heard
from him for long time
Married, of course, long ago. And
one would think me pining because
am not married. too, and at being an
old maid instead"

have thought Of denying It, although It
had scarcely occurred to her before,
said she did not doubt that she had
changed.
Alone In her own room, she fastened
her door and threw the blinds wide
open that the IMPLYING light might
fall as severely as possible on the face
she studied In her mirror.
It was a pleasant face and a youth
full one. But Miss Patience saw only
the coming Of the crows feet around
her eyes. the tiny lines settling about
the corners of her mouth and In the
soft, brown waves Of hair the shining
Of few gray threads.
She wasn't weaker than most OF as,
perhaps. Yet she had closed the blinds
little sadly.
Youth is beautiful and a precious
possession to us all. Who Is there
among us who would not for its beau
ty, its hope and even its ignorance,
give In exchange goodly portion Of
such store Of knowledge, experience or
success as the added years have
brought?
On that other day she had folded
away favorite gown or two as no
longer suited, with their touches of
bright color and frivolous adornment,
to her sober years. But now she tried
to put away in some secret chamber
of her woman's heart certain sweet
memories and few fond hopes. For,
like that revelation Of her lost youth,
came the consciousness that the sweet
est things that had come into her life
would ever come into it-were only
memories now.
AUNT Patience, we're ready for the
wreath for the doorway" reused her
from her reverie.
She hastily gathered up the green for
the wreath not yet begun, and went to
work making it as carefully as II that
were the day before a Christmas OF
seventeen years ago, and she was won
dering II Robert Bently would linger
after the other guests were gone and
tell her the secret she knew he wanted
to tell. He had waited. She would new
err forget how he looked standing there
under the chandelier, and she had
thought him surely the handsomest
lover in all the world. Even now her
cheeks burned as she remembered how
slight had been her resistance when
he said: "But, Patty, you're under the
mistletoe. It's my right to kiss you,
you know"
Why should these old memories
come crowding upon her after all these

A Straw Hen House.

From Farmers Review: Cold winls
remind us that cold winter is on the
way. and while we are preparing for
his advent in other ways, let us prepare
a warm place for the biddies. They
will repay us, am sure. For two
winters we had as warm and coy a
house as cny hens need wish for, and
that with but little outlay in cash.
Poles were cut from the woods, stout
ones but not very large, and these were
driven into the ground some six inches
apart, and in this case they were driven
In the form of square, twelve by
twelve feet, and six feet high. After
one course was driven another was
driven one-half foot inside the other
Space was left for door and the poles
were sawed out to permit Of window
being inserted The space between the
rows of poles was filled with straw,
tightly packed, rough casing made
for the window and door, the window
placed in position and the door hung,
when the walls were ready for the roof,
A large pole, rather post, was set In
the center of the hen house, projecting
three feet above the top of the walls,
and one end of the poles were wired to
this post, the other ends placed at reg
ular intervals on the walls close
enough together to prevent the straw
room FROM falling in. Straw was laid
I'm courses On these poles until it was a
foot thick, then other poles or wire
were used to keep tfa straw from
blowing off. When completed it was a
neat, II odd, structure. and lady who

The time for the opening of til
dairy schools is approaching, and we
trust our readers on the farm will give
the matter some thought. There are
many good dairy schools, and there
are also great many boys on the farm
that would make successful dairymen
If allowed to attend them. The cost is
not large. Every boy that intends to
follow farming should know the theory
Of making marketable butter and
cheese. His knowledge will begin to
bring him returns as soon as he has
completed his term and will continue
to bring him interest long after the
original cost is paid back. The dairy
products of the country need more
knowledge in their making. Boys that
have gone to dairy schools have in
many instances found paying situa-
lions Immediately after graduating.
We believe that the parents can not
invest small sum to better advantage
than in paying the expenses Of their
boy in the dairy school. We have
known men we'll along in years to at
tend these schools and derive great
benefit from them. The men in mind
were not novices in butter making but
veterans, and in one case at least the
student was man Of wide reputation
as an instructor in the making Of
butter and cheese.
