cucumbers and squasheS, are very good
baked. while vegetable soups afford
endless variety. Young vegetables
should he cooked in boiling water, but
the temperature should be reduced, ac-
cording to age, Old vegetables, late in
the season. being better if put on in
cold water and cooked long and slowly.
Berries for jam should be gathered i'll
dry weather, and the best sugar used,
which is cheaper, as less scum gathers
than when cheaper sugar is used. TOO
little sugar will make jam ferment, and
too much will result in candying: the
same will happen if boiled too long.
The flavor Of bread pudding is inn
proved by adding five or six almonds

part OF meat for stews. as it contains
so much marrow. Meat for stews
should always be cut into convenient
pieces for serving. IL apples are cored

In an Old Garden.

IN an Olu Garucn.
Come down to that old garden
OF every flower we knew.
When out of gates of childhood
The airs of morning blew.
And arching heaven was painted
In every drop of dew.
And you may have the lily
With all her virgin SHOWS.
And you may have the beauty
That bushes on the rose.
But l will have the heart s-ease,
The dearest flower that blows!
Who will shall have the balsamS
And store of hydromel.
The purple of the monk s-hoOd
With poison in his spell:
Who will shall have sweet-william
And the canterbury

The perfume OF the stock.
The proud piumes of the fieur-de-lis
The silken hollyhock:
1 love the flaming poppy
And The sleepy four-O clock.
But they say that when great angels
Fell plunSinE from Heavens frown.
A spirit looking after
Lost n blossom from her crown
l know it WAS the heart s-ease
Came softly floating down.
oh. bright the honeysuckle
And sweet his tipplinS crew
The bird-wings of the cOlumbine
The lnrkspur blue as blue

And all the rest take you!

plenty of cool water and shade, green
feed, grit and dust bath in a cool
place, and II not having the run of a
good grassy pasture, the refuse cabr
bage heads would be extra acceptable.
Increase the allowance of feed, and as
grit is a necessity at all times 1t is of
great importance now.
II the supply of insects is limited,
give meat or bone in some form; you
could not receive greater returns for
money invested. A healthy hen, If
given care somewhat like the above,
will lay through the mott, and will be
ready for the egg-basket in winter
equal to the best of her early Matched
pullets, but il allowed to forage
through the mott, the chances are
against your getting any of her eggs
until spring. A word of caution now
do not relax the feed and care as soon
as she is seemingly clothed, for the
drain has left her in a slightly weak
ened condition, and she is not clothed
entire when she appears to be, as you
Will find If you part her feathers. 1t
Is wise to remove or sell the cocks at
the beginning of the mott. Better sell
them unless an exceptionally nice one.
1t ought to be needless to say that
the hens should be kept free of lice
then, as they should be so at all times.
A little sulphur Is beneficial, but its
use is so abused l will not advise it.
Don't use 1t externally or internally
during damp weather. A rusty nail
or two in their drinking water will do
no harm, but may do good, and feed
of onions occasionally will go far
toward keeping them in health; also
Stacked lime left where they can have
access to it; mix it with their char
coal; they will not eat enough to hurt
them.
Milk is at all times good, but is
probably never needed more than now.
Don't think this is too much fussing
and doctoring, for there is no remedy
or help mentioned but what is in reach
of every farm wife, except the oilmeal
and bonemeal, but If you have sun
flowers the oil meal is not needed, and
bonemeal is in the nature of food.
The loss of one or two goods hens
would more than balance against the
bother, to say nothing of having your
hens in laying condition in time for
high prices, and then there is no sue
cess without labor, the degree of sue
cess to correspond to the amount of
labor. Take the best possible care of
what you have, always aiming to have
it better.

Every woman is a good actress till

There is one thing a woman never

If there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples, probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story man hears he
acts like 1t was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her, and
both are making believe.
