HIS ADVICE--DON'T.

Evidence to Prove 1t.
The man sitting on a salt barrel had
a hand on which only two fingers were
left, and sizing him up for a veteran
of the war I asked him if he hadn't
beer wounded by an exploding shell.
No, not as 1 remembers Of" he re-
piled, as he held up his hand and turn
ed it over and over.
Il thought that might have been the
case, but you probably got caught In
some sort of m~achinery?"
NO, not exactly machinery, SIR"
Gun explode in you hands?"
mo; no gun didn't explode"
I gave it up at that, but after a few
minutes the man looked up and said:
Stranger. you've seen a lion, l reck.

"Oh, yes"

harmless as cats?"
Yes; they generally look that
way" .". =.
That's the way I sized up one in a
Gag In a circus. He lay there, looking
SO sleepy and ~good-natured and harm
less that l thought it was a swindle
on the public and I'd try to rouse him
a. bit"
An so you poked him?" I queried.
NO, sir. no poking. I Jest calcula-
ted to gin his tail about three twists
and make him feel that life wasn't all
beef and bones and sunshine. I wait
ed for my chance and then I reached
my hand in. How far Is it from a H.
on's mouth to the middle of his tail?'

The Canalman.

A canalman, unless there happens
to be a member of his family who can
help him, hires "A man called ''the
hand" The men who run the boats
come from various positions in life to
become canalmen. Some have been
farmers, who own farms along or near
the canal, and not few have been
born and lived all their lives on a
canal boat. Perhaps one of the most
unusual cases is that of well-educat-
ed man who was formerly Methodist
minister, but is now, and has been for
several years, living with his family
on one of these boats and driving
mules for living.
The majority, however, are rough
and ignorant, and the proverbial
swearing is to be heard in its most re-
pulsiye forms. One notices frequent
~ lame or crippled man in charge of
boat, since this is one of the few
positions in which manned person is
able to earn a livelihood. A canal
mans family, if he has one, lives with
him on the boat during the open sea-
son, and the rest of the year some live
on little plots of ground, often too
small to be called farms, or perhaps
they may live in one of the larger
towns nearby. Godey's Magazine.

Boiled wheat is food much relished.
Feed night meal an hour before
dusk.
Proper feeding means health and
profit.
Good stock almost always finds quick
sale.
Be very careful TO keep the feed
troughs clean.
Beans are good feed because they
are heterogeneous.
Undulating land is better for the
growth of crops than level soil.
Green bone is a valuable food for
growing chicks and matured fowls.
Ground oats, cornmeal and bran
constitute proper foods for poultry.
Filthy quarters produce sickness,
and sick hens will not produce eggs.
STEPPED clover, mixed with the
morning hash, Is a great egg pro-
Queer.
Ten hens in house 10x10 feet are
enough. The yard should be at least
ten times as large as the floor of the
house.
On the average, perhaps it costs us
about 81 q head to feed our poultry
for year; therefore the hen has to
lay about 100 eggs to pay for her
keeping. It is only after that that the
clear profits come in.

Poultry Notes.

Feed variety.
Give breakfast at 6.
Exercise is an egg tonic.
Hens will not lay if too fat.
Milk is complete egg food.
The starved hen is worthless.
Feed the mash warm-not hot,
Underfed hens are poor layers.
The morning mash is imperative.
Let breakfast be only half meal.
Overcrowded fiocks give few eggs.
Cold quarters check egg production.
Eggs sell better when sent to market
in regular cases.
The laying hen consumes more food
than one not laying.
The early pullets are the profitable
winter egg producers.
Ten hens with one male make about
the proper proportion.
Ten weeks from shell to market is
thetime allotted chick.
Keep cabbages hanging in the honse
within reach of the fowls.
Egg shells ground to a powder make
. good addition to the mash.
Ten flocks, each consisting of ten
hens, are enough for an acre.
Scatter the grain at noon among
litter. so the fowls must exercise.
