save the Feathers.

Poultry feathers should be kept for
stuffing pillows, sofa cushions, and
other home conveniences, even where it
is not deemed worth while to sell them,
says Colman's Rural World. Geese
and duck feathers, being much more
valuable than others, should always be
preserved with care Downy feathers
of hens and turkeys serve a very good
purpose and unless you wish to make
busters of tail and wing feathers, the
soft, feathery portions of these may
be stripped off the quill and added to
the rest. Unless the flock Is large, it
will take some time to secure enough
feathers to stuff even a cushion, and as
they are gathered from time to time,
they must be put into whole cotton
bags, tied securely so that no moth mil
lers can enter, and placed for a short
time in a warm oven, to dry thorough
ly. If hens are scalded before picking,
the feathers can be dried in a tin pan,
in a moderately warm stove oven. Re-
move all bits Of skin, as they produce
an unpleasant odor hard to get rid of.
Feathers we'll cleaned answer very we'll
for holsters, chair and soft cushions.

he found that powdered soap was being
need in large quantities, The swill
from this place was stopped and the
disease disappeared. In following up
the lineaof inquiry which these expeT
riences suggested, it was found that
there is among the more enterprising
farmers a quite general belief that
these soaps, when given in considera-
BILE quantities, are injurious and even
fatal to hogs. The concensus OF oplh-
ion on this subject, together with the
more. definite observations of Mr.. Da-
yey and DR.. McCrank, appeared to be
so conclusive that it seemed important
to determine by careful experiment to
what extent, if at all, powdered soaps
can be considered as the cause of death
in this class of outbreaks.

It seems strange that anyone can prefer
using foreign butter to that made at

ton is taken in his own country to en-

The tendency Of young men born
and reared on farms to leave the coun-
try for towns and cities is certainly an
unhealthy movement in large sense
and improbable to many of those who
embark in it. Properly and steadily
followed, there is no safer business
than farming, nor any more certain to
yield satisfactory results. In very
many instances they who abandon it
AYR city life live to regret the change.
The farmers institutes and farmers
themselves ought to be able to develop
a higher interest in the occupation and
more of certain sort of esprit du
corps among those who follow it.

A Boston physician who formerly oc-
cupied the two positions of medical OK
aminer for pensions and for positions
in the Boston police and fire depart
ments was called upon to examine an
applicant for appointment to the police
force. The applicant testified that he
was able-bodied in every respect and
had never had sick day in his life.
Subsequently the same man appeared
before the board of medical examiners
fer pensions as an applicant for an in
crease of his pension, and he testified
that he was physical wreck and in
capacitated for work on account of his
physical infirmities resulting from his
services in the war.

The recent attack of t., . commission
er of pensions on the pension attorney,
followed up by some efforts to bring
the worst specimens to account, is
circumstance that is notable enough to
deserve attention. The pension abuse,
however, is not to be abated by attack
ing the pension attorneys. No doubt
many of them are much to blame, and
when they have committed frauds they
should be held to a severe accountable
ty. But, after all, it is just as well to
recognize the fact that congress has
often been the chief offender.

Some men have a most distressing
habit Of carrying their business home
with them in the evening and lying
awake at night to think about it. This
is bad habit which anyone with any
sort of control over himself can break
up. The conclusion of the whole mat
ter is that man walketh in a vain sha-
dow and disquieteth himself in vain,
and the most unhappy man is the one
who thinks everything is wrong, and
it is his especial calling to set it right.
Fretting causes our food to remain I'M
digested, it whitens our locks and
makes wrinkles and imparts the BIZ
cycle face.

Those American judges who decide
divorce cases with indecent haste
might well learn lesson from the life
of the late Baron Pollock of England.
His pale and wearied look was noticed,
and the baron explained: 'I have had
to be up almost all night; for to SEN
teEce some, especially the young
young men and boys-is such an awful
responsibility, You must think care
fully what is right, what is hest for
their souls. You need SO much
thought and prayer" Is it not an
lawful responsibility" also, to decide
to break up a household? Were some
judges to give more thoughtful and
conscientious consideration to these
cases, our court records would be free
from some entries which are nothing
short of disgrace.

ROup.

notice in the Stockman and Farmer
a query in regard to the cause OF roup
and the way to cure the disease, ETC.,
writes w. P. Perkins to National Stock
man and Farmer. The writer has been
actively connected with the poultry
business for more than a decade, and
he unhesitatingly says the best way TO
cure roup is to keep clear of the foul
disorder. That is, prevention is prac-
tically the only satisfactory remedy
1t is we'll enough to talk about making
cures, but most of the so-called cures
leave the birds all broken up constitu-
tionally, and practically worthless.
When l first began to keep fowls roup
was terrible trouble to me, but lately
we do not have to worry much about
the disorder; and this, think, is the
experience of the majority of poultry
keepers. A beginner is almost sure to
get a good taste Of roup the first &li
and winter in which he practices poul-
try culture. 1t is so easy to neglect
closing doors and windows and setting
broken panes of glass, which, If not
done, means drafts of air upon the
birds while at roost, one of the most
prolific sources of roup in existence.
Foul air is almost as bad as draft.
Have effective ventilation, but do not
allow the air to blow upon the roosts.
Feed wisely and be yigilant and there
by avoid roup.

A man will be more grieveC COR the
loss of a desired object than he could
have been pleased with the enjoyment
OF it; for though the presence of an
imaginary good does not always make
us happy, the absence of it may make
us miserable; because in the enjoy
ment Of an object we only find that
share Of pleasure which it is capable
OF giving us, but in the absence of it
we do not proportion our grief to the
real value it bears, but to the value
our fancies and imaginations set upon
it.

Unfortunate borrowers frequently
pay such debt two or three times
over, in the form of interest and then,
failing once to yield their monthly
tribute, lose all the belongings of the
home, from bed to cooking stove. 1t
is therefore distinctly in line with its
purposes that the Salvation Army
should propose to open loan offices
where a poor man may obtain money,
in an emergency, without enslaving
himself for life to, a "cutthroat mort
gage" Some churches have already
taken the same step in practical Chris
tianity. Since the business will, when
honestly and considerably managed,
yield a fair return on capital, there
seems no good reason why philan-
thropists in every community should
not unite to keep it out of the hands
of scoundrels.

When the unemployed can become
not only self-supporting but wealth
producing, the hardest problem of
civilization will be in a fair way to be
solved. The colony of Victoria, Aus
tralia, has brought about both results
by establishing village settlements
near swamp lands, and maintaining
the settlers while they reclaimed the
waste and raised a first crop. Twenty
five hundred families that once were
homeless now live in comfort on these
formerly worthless lands-and the in
crease in the value of the reclaimed
tract has more than covered the gov
ernment's expenditure, Over such an
achievement, philanthropy and finance,
who should be better friends than they
are, are fully justified in shaking
hands.

Galen Wilson, in Farm and Fire
SIDE" requested an old, crippled soldier
engaged in poultry raising, to give his
views, and received the following:
Eggs are always cash. They are ready
for market the minute laid, and the
sooner they are got to market the
better. They require no cultivation,
pruning or harvesting, but are at once
in salable condition. With plenty of
eggs on the farm there are a host of
good things in the kitchen and money
in the family purse. Gathering up eggs
is like picking up dimes and dollars.
Great is the hen that produces them.
When everything is dull in winter the
egg basket has wonderfully helped out

be poor, the provisions low, the family

growing season, but the hen comes up
