Killing Weeds.

When we went TO school we were
taught that if ten men could do certain
pit ce of work in one day, one man could
do it in len days. but we were taught by
experience that this would not apply 10
weed killing and many other bits of farm
work. In hoeing field large enough to
keep ten men at II all day, it would take
a smart man to get it done in all summer.
The growth of weeds ahead of him
would make each days work smaller,
while behind him they would grow 50

The Best Table Fowls.

AS matter of fact the flesh OF one well
cared for chicken or turkey is as good as
that OF another 1t is doubtful If the most
particular epicure could ever tell whether
a certain piece had come from Plymouth
Rock or Pit Game so far as the taste of
the flesh is concerned What we mean by
the best table fowl is that one which has
the heaviest weight of meat on those por-
lions Of the body which are favorite cuts.
The breast and thighs must be heavy in
good table fowl in proportion to the re-
mainder of the body In order to have
thick breast meat and big thighs these
muscles must be used by the fowl. 10
other words, the fer and scratcher will
prove to be the best table fowl. for their
lively habits give the muscles of the legs
and breast work to do that renders them
firm and fine, instead of leaving them
habby and full of loose tissue IN the shape
of fat This is the reason that all the
game classes furnish good table fowls
md is what makes the French and Med
iterranean breeds such iavories among
those who are judges of good poultry. 1t
matters not that Leghorn weighs only
half as much as a Brahma. Two Leg
horns can be raised or brought up for
the cost of one Brahma weighing twice
as much as either of them. as the cost per
pound whether raised or bought is the
same A Brahma is always sharp breast
ed unless it is butter fat, while Leghorn
may be comparatively poor and yet have
a plump breast. The difference is caused
by the different habits of two breeds

The moth abhors sunlight and Graves

keepers hang all woollen household arti-
cles on the cloihesline in the sunlight for

thoroughly beaten and cleaned. Before

to fumigate that room with a sulphur

cedar chest trunk, pillow case, calico,
