last week visiting relatives and also at
tended the birthday surprise OF their
father, ID. II. McNitt.
Saturday evening, March %, was
made memorable by the dedication OF
the new dishes at the Cleaner hall.
The Cleaners with few invited friends
spent the evening together at the hall
in social converse and card playing.
Warm refreshments, accompanied by
ice cream, cakes, pickles etc, were
served at an early hour down in the
basement. The tables groaned under
the weight OF new dishes filled with
goodies and all did ample justice to the
very appetizing supper so nicely pre-
pared by the Shafter ladies.
The week ending March 23rd was
notable for two surprise parties in this
locality, the first being Monday eve-
ming when about thirty met at the
home of Glory Mosher and family. AT
ter devoting the early part OF the eve-
ming to games and conversation, re-
freshments were served, after which
Mr.. Dayton Moon stepped forward and
in few words presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Mosher with a paper which showed
they were entitled to COW. Mr.,
Mosher had valuable COW die some
three weeks previous, and although
this one may not prove as useful to
them, it shows the high esteem in
which they are held by their neighbors
and friends. The company dispersed
at an early hour, some expecting to
help surprise Mr.. Fred Deitz the fol-
lowing evening, it being his birthday.
On account of the inclement weather,
however, the crowd that assembled at
Fred's was rather small in comparison
with the number of invitations his
wife had sent out in order to give Fred |
a thorough surprise There were
about thirty there who made success
full endeavor to have grand, good |
time. The chairs left by the company
will serve as a momeuto of the happy |
occasion.

A HAPPY BOY.

Oldcnburg, Ill, Sept. 2nd:-The
doctors all failed in the case of little
thirteen year old Willie Keil, who
suffered with acute Rheumatism.
For over three months, the poor
little fellow suffered excruciating
torture. His father, who had done
everything he could think of, saw
a new Rheumatism Remedy adver-
tised-Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
bought some, and soon his little son
showed signs of improvement. Three
boxes cured him completely, and he
has not symptom of Rheumatism
left.
This miraculous cure of a case
which had been given up by the
physicians, has electrified Madison
County, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are a
much talked of medicine.

DUCK QUARTERS.

and the growth of young duck is
something phenomenal; it grows with
amazing rapidity for dozen weeks or
so, when it should be marketed, if not
to be kept as laying stock.
Ducks, however, cannot very we'll be
kept in the poultry house, nor in the
barn or other buildings. since they are
never tidy housekeepers. Neverthe-
lees, they need comfortable place
place by themselves for then they
will yield good profit and without in
convenience to the owner. A space
even only few feet high will suffice,
which can often be provided under a
barn, workshop or other building
as suggested in the accompanying pic
ture; and such quarters can easily be
cleaned out with hoe or rake, and a
new litter thrown in. This low pen will
be warm in winter. and so conduce to
early laying; while on the other hand,
it will prove very cool spot during the
heat of summer, being thus conducive
to continuous laying.-Fred o. SibIey,

We believe that rs rule sprinkling
the eggs with warm water which are
being incubated by the sitting hen is
productive of harm rather than. good.
IL the hen is free to leave The nest
as she wills, and is not debarrcd from
q run in the grass during her short
respite from her duties, she will re-
turn to the nest with feathers laden
with dew, and the eggs will not suf-
fer for moisture, says Wallace's
Farmer. In our early experience we
regularly sprinklea the eggs the, third
day before the hatch was due. We had
read about cart load of poultry pa
apers. and with good deal of sound
advice which they gave us, we gave
undue weight to several articles
which got the advantage of our cal
lowness and made us believe that
sprinkling the eggs was of prime i'm
portance. While still believing that
under certain conditions it is attend
ed with advantage it is only occa-
sionally that we revert to the prac-
tice. During the late dry spell it oc-

be gained by returning to it. We had
six hens engaged in Matching us out
some late chicks. The eggs were due
to hatch on the 18th of July. On the
18th we removed the eggs from four
of the nests, and after aampening the
earth upon which the nest was built,
put them back. We did not apply any
moisture to the other two nests. The
result justifies the belief that under
such circumstances as these the ap-
plication of moisture is attended with
advantage. From the four nests we
took IS chicks and from the other two
only five chicks. The eggs were the
same. and the hens were all about
equally attentive to their duties. The
exceptional dryness of the air and
the absence of dew demanded a
change from the usual order OF
things, and we are we'll convinced
that we are we'll paid for the time it
took to moisten those eggs. But we
have sprinkled lots of eggs without
gaining anything by it.

the combs are taken from the hives
they are carried to the honey house
and there left until evening. After the
bees have stopped flying drive to the
out-yard and haul home the honey. Be-
fore beginning to extract take the
nncapping knife and hone until the
edges are keen. This will prevent tear
ing the combs when shaving off the
cappings. The knife is occasionally
dipped into pail of hot water which
expedites the work also.
Two frames of nearly equal weight
are selected each time. so as to balance
nicely in the extractor. The crank is
turned rapidlyfor minute or so and
the honey whipped out of the combs. 1t
is then drawn off at the honey gate
into an agate pail with sieve over it
to catch the bits of Gaping which FREE
qnently get into the extractor. The
honey is then poured into five-gal!on
cans for the wholesale trade and into
some Mason jars and tumblers for re-
failing. Before extracting begins the
combs are held up to the light and
graded. The white honey is extracted
first, next the amber and lastly the
dark. The uncapping can is in two
parts; the top section telescopes into
the bottom section. The top section
has sieve bottom, which catches the
cappings as they fal!into the can. The
honey drains into the lower section and
nothing is lost or wasted. The cap
pings after draining for few days are
rendered into the most beautiful light
yellow wax. The empty combs are set
out into the home apiary and cleaned
up by the bees, then stored away until
the next spring, when they are hauled
to the out-yards and used there.-F. G..

The editor of Farm and Dairy. New

THE ADAPTABLE OYSTER.

characteristics.

Oysters of the species Ostrea edulis

land. After two years on the Hay
ling beds they are transferred to
Whitstable, says Nature. While they
are at .Hayling they acquire the
characteristics of flavor and texture
and color of shell of the oysters ma
tive to Hayling, yet they are distin.
guishable as originally from Brit
tany. When they are transferred to
Whitstable they acquire the charac.
teristics of Whitstable, yet they are
and can easily be detected by ex-
perts.
Now, the curious point is this:
These oysters are known to spawn
at Whitstable, yet oysters "spat"
from this spawn have never been
found. There are found, however,
especially the last few years, i'm
mense quantities of oysters which
resemble the ancient native oysters
of Whitstable, and are declared by
experts to be Whitstable natives, yet
differing from them slightly i'll
coarseness of shell and greater grow
ing power. and in being more suscep-
tible to cold weather than the an
Gent Whitstable natives. Among oys-
ter experts these oysters are con
sidered to be the offspring of the
oysters originally brought from Brit
tany, and this opinion is supported
by the fact that when these oysters
spawn at Hayling the spat from
them resembles in every way the
oysters native to Hayling. Can the
oysters that become changed in this
way be considered to have acquired
their new characteristic by Lamarck-
ism or bY natural selection?
