Pope was old enough to know
better, perhaps, but for reasons
of economy and comfort his
clothing was generally limited
to what might be called, in his
case a suit of primeval inno-

Indeed, clothes seemed to be
abb orient to Pope; and when he
condeGcended to wear them at
all they were never buttoned.
Any old thing answered the
purpose, if handy; and if not,
Pope sold papers and polished
shoes, while he himself was as
naked as on the day he was
born. His Inconsistencies of
the fact was refreshing. After

Do not allow any water to &C

Dampness cannot be tolerated

Fowls, like pigs, are fond of
milk, sweet or sour, but many
on the farm feed it all to the
pigs. Try dividing with the
poultry. They will soon show
you whether they appreciate it

Corn is a good cold weather
feed for fowls, but l would not
advise much of it in warm
weather, for 1t produces too
much heat and is too fattening
for layers.
Keep pure bred poultry. The
cost of feed is no greater, and
they are a source of more
pleasure and profit. A good
farm and good poultry yard
both demand good stock.
Have systsm in the manage
ment of poultry. 1 know of no
business where method is more
needed. The flock that gets
its food at "sundry times and
places" seldom pays a good
profit. A part of the system
of poultry raising should be
to have a settled order of feed
ing, a list of foods and time for
giving those foods. regulating

any number of naked babies.
