chickens to attend to and let the fam
lily buy their eggs and young frys of
her at the market price. Then let Ara
mintha handle her own money and buy
her own clothes"
Aramintha was delighted with the
arrangement and entered into the plan
with enthusiasm. AS she explained,
girl needs so many things it is a nui-
sance to have to bother her parents
about; so the chicken business started
with the unanimous consent of the
household.
One day Aramintha was found
mournfully staring at the parlor cur.
tains.
''They are shabby" agreed mother
''And we won't put up with them an
other season!" exclaimed Aramintha.
well have new ones; I'll get them
myself out of the chicken money"
No one could object, so the new cur
tains were purchased.
This began it. Anew hammock, new
covers for the "a cushions, new rugs
for the front step, an extra trip to
Chicago every bargain day, a new
Gainsborough, extra hot-weather
gowns, all were accounted for by the
chicken money. No extravaganza was
counted an extravaganza if the chick
en- money paid for it.
Had those brown leghorns laid eggs
of gold their purchasing power could
not have been greater than it was I'M
der Aramintha's elastic touch; it be-
came so great that at last father called
for a statement.
"Those chickens of yours beat the
board of trade. Pm seriously thinking
of retiring and devoting all my time
and money to chickens, with you as
manager. How goes it, anyway"
Aramintha proceeded to-get out her
books.
'You see, father" she explained,
sweetly and lucidly, "here it all is:
Started chicken business May 1 with 20
hens.
Each hen to set on 10 eggs makes 26O
chickens.
Two hundred and sixty chickens at 20
cents apiece, $685.
Hens lay through summer, 1,80O eggs.
Eggs sell at 20 cents dozen (fresh ones
are higher), $50.
"You see that comes to about 500
by fall, and"
"But, Aramintha, it is not Septem-
Der yet; the summer is just spring.
And what allowance have you made
for chicken feed and chickens that do
not hatch, and so on? Does your
chicken yard live up to these books ?'
CT haven't kept any account of
the chicken yard. I didn't see the use
of keeping two accounts" she an
swered, in an injured tone.
Now father declares there is no use
trying to pound business sense into
girls head. If he had IL daughters he
would give them an allowance, but he
would expect to be wrecked in year
if they were all in business.-Ch:cag

SELECTION OF COLTS.
What a French Agricultural Paper
Has to Say on This Always In
teresting Subject.

How can a good colt be selected?
Opinions differ on this subject. Some
affirm it is very difficult, if not i'm
possible, to judge colt before he is
somewhat matured. Others pretend
that at six months one can decide
what he will be, while others say that
at Is months selection can be made
on his merits with almost certainty.
At 10 months the ensemble of the pro-
portions of the head, the chest and
shoulders and of the body is very
near what it will be at four years if
the animal has been well raised, the
legs alone frightening slightly.
There are some indications of a
general order that will serve as
guide in the selection of a colt. A
colt that has a good resemblance to
a matured horse will have very little
to acquire. A colt high in the thighs
should foretel a large horse, but if
the knees are small and the hams
narrow and fat the legs will be
lank and puny and the colt will de-
velop little force or value for the
raiser The colt that is said to come
near the earth is the one to select,
for whatever other speciality he
may have this is a superior quality.
The connoisseur can judge and decide
the merits of a colt by glance of
the eye, but the inexperienced must
take into account all the knowledge
he can obtain. The growth of the
common horse often terminates at
three years, while that of race
horse is not often achieved until to-
wards five years. One can therefore
say horse is fully matured at five
years, but one should not demand a
maximum of labor and fatigue until
six years.-Journal d. Agriculture

Wells ARE NOT HURTFUL.
Latest Dtctum Says They May Be
Worn with 1mpunity by Any
Who Fancy Them.

Much has been said about the harm
fulness of wells. They have been
charged with responsibility for the
headaches that so frequently aff1ict
femininity; they have been accused
of making the girls cross-eyed and
near-sighted; they have been com
PEELED to bear the blame for all the
blotches that on occasions disfgure
the complexion. They have especially
called forth the disapprova1 of the
physician and the animadversion of
the oculist, This fact, however, has
never interfered with the wearing of
these filmy beautifers.
There are some women who decline
to wear dotted wells; there are few
who refuse to wear wells of any kind,
but the great majority of them would
as soon go out of doors without a col
lar as without a veil. Some of these
enthusiasts have been collecting stat
istics, and they are triumphant. Men
never wear wells, they say, except in
the deserts, where dust storms are
frequent, and yet men habitually re-
sort to the use of glasses at an earlier
age than women. They likewise call
attention to the fact that women
habitually do fine needlework and en-
b. oidery, which is far more trying to
the eyes than the work of the average
man could possibly be.
In regard to the statement that wells
are injurious to the complexion, these
women argue that not only does
veil keep the dust out of the pores,
but it protects the tender cuticle from
the effects of wind and sun, and so
prevents wrinkles and retards the in
evitable darkening of the skin by the
march of time. That filmy bit of
silk tissue or lace can heat the skin
and cause it to be covered with
sticky moisture is, they declare, i'm
possible. That it can interfere with
the circulation is also extremely I'M
likely. And so madam, secure in the
panoply of her own observation and
experience, calmly proceeds to tie a
fresh veil over her pretty face and go
on her conquering way-Chicago

Trick by Which a Lover Made Then
Change Color to Suit His
Purpose.

Tt was a lover who lately discovered
this trick. When he was not with
his lady love he was studying chem
is try and experimenting, and one day
recently he found an easy method OF
changing the natural colors of flow
ers, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
He was in the habit of presenting
his sweetheart with bouquets OIL
beautiful roses, which grew in hia
garden, and few hours after he had
made the discovery he took her half
a dozen of the choicest white roseH
and told her that she could learn
through them whether he was really
in love with her or not.
eff you and I are destined for eaci
other,'' he said, "these white rosen
will become crimson within five OF
six hours from now. Gradually bur
surely they Will change color, and
you may regard the change not only
as an indication that the flowers are
delighted to be-worn by you, but alsc
as an infallible sign that happiness
is assured to us in the future"
Sure enough, before tie eyes of the
wondering maiden the roses changed
color and were crimson at sunse!
that evening. Marvellous indeed the
change seemed to her, for how could
she know that the roses were orig
inaIIy red and that her lover had sirt
ply bleached them white by holding
them for some time over a pan filed
with smoking sulphur before he
handed them to her?

SAVING CORN FODDER.
When Properly Preserved in n Dry
State 1t Contains as Much Nu-
triment as SiIage.

There is a growing interest in the
preservation of corn fodder, and
farmers are finding that cows do well
upon corn fed in the husk. 1t has been
my practice for several years to cut
up the corn when about half the blades
are ripened, and to feed it to my cows
in winter letting them do the husking
and the grinding. They do this work
cheaper than I can do it; I do not feed
ensilage. sell my milk to the con-
densing factory, and our factory has
not progressed far enough yet to take
milk that is made from ensilage.
If dry corn fodder is properly pre-
served it will contain as much nutri-
ment as ensiIage does, and more. The
trouble is that most of US do not prop
erly save it. When a boy we used to
cut off the tops of the corn stalks
above the ear and save this for fodder.
1t made excellent fodder, too. Wheth-
er or not it was then argued-as some
times it has been since-that the top
ping helped the development of the
ear, I do not remember. 1t is of no
advantage in that direction, however,
and topping is a waste, for stock will
consume pretty nearly the entire
stalk, if it is cut up at the right time
and shredded. 1t seems strange that
as valuable a forage as good corn
stalks should have so long been unap-
preciated. Good corn fodder is bet
ter than timothy hay, and immensely
better than a great deal of timothy
hay that is fed. Over-ripe timothy,
for instance, is not much of an i'm
provement over dry fence rail so far
as food for animals is concerned.-S.
G. Atkins, in Epitomist.
