POULTRY YARD HINTS.

The dust bath is still one of the ne.
cessities in the poultry house.
Make your buildings tight and warm
for your fowls, and they will be better
egg producers.
II you have no clover hay for your
hens, you had better see about getting
some. II is fine substitute for grass.
Green bone and meat scraps in win
ter take the place of bugs and worms
that the fowls have during the sum-
mer.
The season for selling eggs is again
at hand, and little card in your home
paper would undoubtedly bring you
good customers.
The scraps from the table will pro-
duce better results if given to the hens
than to the pigs or cows. Give plenty
Of milk also.
scaly legs can be cured by dipping
the feet and legs of the fowl into coal
oil. One or two clippings will be all
that's needed.
A pullet is at her best as show bird
just before she reaches the laying
point-as regards color, condition Of
plumage and general physical develop
ment.
If you have eggs to sell this spring
1t is high time you were advertising
them. Get yourself before the public
in time to get well acquainted before
the egg season begins.
1t is never wise to buy breeding
stock at beginning Of breeding sea-
son. Buy before, SO that the stock will
have become used to its new surround
ings before breeding season COM

came for.
Hecnba was as dign1tied in welding
the knife and the polisher as when she
handled the Bible or the opera glass.
So regain my self-possession and
gently fish for Hecuba's story.
Briefly, her mother had died sudden
ly four weeks ago. She had been a
widow several years, and always
earned a good income, but never ac-
cumulated any money. She had given
her daughter an education, and now
Hecuba had taken her mothers place
in order to do the like for her younger
brother. The money was wanted at
once, and this was the quickest way to
earn it.

SIT was our great-grandfather's He
was an officer in the revolution-in a

Let me think the situation all over
as walk away. First, the romance Of
it. I remember cutting from a news
paper last year and placing in my
scrapbook an exquisite little poem
signed Hester Nidivear. One Of the
best French poets was barber, and
one Of our own was dentist; after
the beard and the teeth, why should
not the nails have their turn at
poetics?s Second, the sense Of it. Nv
great-grandfather also took part in
| the revolution, but he wore no sword:
he was only private. Better pri-
vate under Washington than colonel
under CORVALLIS, / have always boast
ed. And after the war he pared the
hoofs Of horses before mailing on the
shoes. Rule of three: AS the human
hand is to the horses hoof so is-um.

welcome. The auditorium was rather
somber. When my eyes became used
to the scant illumination I looked
about me, and there, only three seats
ahead of me, teaching class of boys,
was Hecuba. What sang the genial
Mark Lemon? "Oh, would were boy

be good way to learn? Yes, teaching
others is the surest way to acquire
knowledge.
I fingered after the services to ask
the young man in the porch all about
it. Hecuba passed out, with an UNI
brella in her hand, opened it on the
steps and rapidly walked away. oh, if
