Hens Need Lots of Light. !.

The size of the windows has much
to do with the comfort or discomfort
of the fowls in winter. Sad to relate,
most of the poultry houses owned by
farmers have but small windows,
though we believe that the idea of
having large windows is growing. The
poultry house that has to accommodate
say SO hens, and has single window
two feet square is an abomination,
and II is no wonder that in flocks so
kept diseases are frequent and de-
structive. If but one window can be
put in a poultry house, it should GER
tainly be a large one, but it is better
to have a number of windows.-Farm-

HOW TO CURE MEAT.
Something Which Everybody Thinks
He Knows, Hut which Only n Few
Do in the Right Way.

One important item in curing meat
of all kinds is to lay it ou, in cool
place, where there is good circula-
tion of air, until the animal heat is
thoroughly cooled out.
There is process of sugar-curing
pork that requires that the salt, sugar
and spices be rubbed in while the meat
is still warm, but IT requires experience
to do the work properly, and the av-
erage farmer can hardly afford to run
the risk of failure.
Generally at this season there is little
difficulty in thoroughly cooling out
meat if it is spread out over night.
Meat should not be allowed to freee
before it is salted, as it will not take
salt while frozen. The salt is apt to
form in cakes over the meat, and un-
less looked after when few warm
days come the meat will be certain to
spoil. In applying the salt the best
plan is to take quantity in the hand
and rub it on the meat.
This will cause the meat to take salt
more readily than if it is simply sprin-
kled over it. After rubbing well lay the
meat in the box OF on the shelf arranged
for it and sprinkle it literally with salt.
II the weather is moderate SO that the
meat is not frozen it is best to go over
it second time in week or ten days,
;nbbing as at first, and then sprinkle
again. If the weather is cold enough
TO keep the meat frozen this may be
done in few days after the wather
moderates.
When meat is picked instead of dry
sailed the brine should be made as
strong as possible and should fully COW
er the meat. In three days the brine
should be drawn off and either fresh
brine put on or the old brine be boiled
and the scum that rises to the surface
SKINNED off and then when cool poured
back.
In both brine and dry sailing the
addition of some sugar, saltpeter and
pepper will improve the quality of the
meat as well as aiding in preserving it
Allowing the meat to remain in salt
too long has tendency to make the
lean part hard and unpalatable. When.
ever sufficiently salted it should be
hung up and smoked and then packed
down. If this is done before the warn
weather comes the risk of loss will be
greatly lessened.-St. Louis Republic

The feeding of frozen swill and other
half-frozen articles is the cause of much
indigestion, and lack of thrift with, our
swine during the winter months. This
should never be done. 1t chills the
stomach and the whole animal system,
causes temporary standstill in as
similation and growth, and requires
unnecessary expenditure of food and
energy to bring the animal back to his
normal working order.-Farm Journal.

soda as q RertiIixer.

Where the potash supply is limited,
the soda is useful to certain plants
either as direct plant food or Indirect
ly by virtue of its liberating potash
from the soil, as demonstrated at the
Rhode Island station. The results at
hand have not yet shown definitely
whether or not it is profitable to in
tentionally limit the potash supply
enough to make the soda act, nor can
conclusions be drawn as to the direct
manurial action Of the soda until the
analysis of the material is completed.

for finding homes for children. He
charged that children were brought to

ended and imported children be sent

they had used an enormous oak log
as sort of fulcrum in moving about

log suddenly burst open under an ex-

of gold and silver coins. There was
a grand rusn to secure the prize, but
in the end the workmen had to turn

TOLD BY FOOTPRINTS.
Tell-Tale Shoes Worn by q Man in q
Party Searching for . MUIR
deFer.

The part played by footprints in
the frightful tragedy near Biloxi re-
minds me-" said New Orleans rail
road man, relates the Times-Demo-
crat, "of a most remarkable affair
which happened IA good many Years
ago in south Georgia. The keeper
of little store near the Florida line
was murdered one night and the place
set on fire. Several negroes were
suspected and the whole countryside
turned out to search for evidence.
In the rear of the burned store was a
marshy place, in which the footprints
of the murderer were plainly discern
lble. showing that he had worn a
pair of heavy brogans. the right heel
of which seemed to have been spit in
very peculiar manner directly across
the middle.
among the searchers was we'll
to-do young farmer. and as soon as he
saw the footprints he was Mortified
to recognize the marks of his own
shoes which he had on at that very
moment. The split heel was the re-
suit of chance blow with an ak
while cutting wood. and the impress
sion in the marshy soil was absolutely
unmistakab The crowd was
worked up to a pitch bordering on
frenzy, and. realizing his extremely
critical position. the young man had
presence enough of mind to make
some excuse and slip away. He went
straight home, put on another pair of
shoes. hid the old ones and rejoined
the party.
1.-TWO or three days later the crime
was traced by certain circumstantial
evidence to a negro who worked on
his farm. The fellow broke down and
confessed and incidentally cleared up
the mystery On the night of the
murder. according to his story. he
had noticed the brogans on the porch
of the farmhouse and appropriated
them. intending at the time to merely
rob the store and fly the country
After killing the storekeeper he
changed his plans and came home,
thinking to divert suspicion by re-
naming quietly at work. Conse-
quently he returne! the shoes where
he found them.
After he had made this confes-
sion the farmer told his own story
and produced the tell-tale footgear.
Heaven only knows what might have
happened had he been caught with
them on his feet the first day of the
