Old Hens.

Old hens as a rule are not profitable
but by old hens we do not mean
those that are one or two years old
for such may often be the very best
layers during the winter.
The usefulness of hen to a great
extent depends on the care she gets.
We cannot expect half-fed, neglected
hens to moult early and be in condi-
tion to lay during November, and such
must be the case if we expect profita-
BILE hens.
A great many people seem to think
that the seasons work is ended with
the beginning Of summer, when, as a
matter of fact, the hardest task has
just begun.
Special food and especial care are re-
quired in oruer that the hens may be
kept healthy
OF course less food will be required.
but we must see that they get what
they neea regularly.
Pure, fresh water must be given,
and if there is no shade a temporary
shelter must be erected.
Watch the hens carefully now and
they should moult early and begin to
lay before winter sets in.-Home and
Farm.

value of Shredded Fodder,

There are many ways of saving the
fodder crop, and probably all of them
will be resorted to in different COM
munities by farmers who find them
selves short of feed When fodder is
cut at the right time and cured like
hay, it has to 10 times the value of
field that is left to stand as "Yinter
pasture" hence the prudent farmer
must devise some plan to save the
crop this year. Hay will command a
good price, while shredded fodder is
a perfect substitute for it in feeding.
even for horses. The farmer who is
supplied with hay can make money
by selling it and feeding his fodder,
and those who have fodder to spare
may find a market for it among their
neighbors. The cash market for shred
ded fodder Is growing every year, and
lt will not be many years until its
cash value everywhere is recognized
as nearly equal to hay.-Farm, Field

French Giants Materialize.

Every now and then another giant
keeps turning up at Rouen, anxious
to convince the executors Of the Comte
de Pierrecourt that he is the biggest
man in France, and therefore entitled
to half portion of the Counts $780,
900 legacy. The Pierrecourt heirs
have already begun suit to have the
giant couple" clause in the Counts
will set aside, averring that the tes-
tator was not of sound mind when he
stipulated that method of improving
the breed of Freuchmen. In the mean
time the documents in tho case are
filed in the Mayors Office, and are &C.
cumulating wonderfully. They COM
prise written applications enough to
create the impression that there are
not more than handful Of citizens

Best Foods for Producing Eggs.

The best foods for producing eggs
depend upon the condition in which
the fowls are kept. In summer the
hens get variety of food, but in win
ter they have no choice of selection.
Ii the food is largely of grain the best
mode of inducing the hens to lay Is to
withhold grain and give lean meat,
about an ounce day to each hen.
Liver or other cheap forms of animal
food will also answer. Dried ground
blood, animal meat and bone meal are
likewise excellent additions. When
the hens lay double-yolk eggs or eggs
with soft shells the cause is not due
to lack Of lime, as many suppose, but
to too much fat on the body of the
hen, the remedy being nitrogenous
diet (meaD instead of grain. The
extra egg laid will pay for the mare
expensive foods and give q profit as
well.

Every farmer knows that nearly the
largest part of the cost of his farm
buildings is in the roof If the ground
floor plan is of the same size it costs
but little more to put the roof on
building 22 or "a feet high in the post
than on one 12 to IA feet high, and
the capacity is about doubled. We say
about but not quite even if the height
OF the posts is quite doubled, for with
the greater height comes a tendency to
increase the distance between the
ground floor and that above, and usu-
ally in modern buildings to widen
them out, especially in stables and in
the barn floor Thus the barns of our
grandfathers' day, some of which are
standing yet, that were usually 24x30
feet on the ground, with 12-foot posts,
have given away to those 2Sx42 with
Is to 24-foot posts even where the
farm is no larger than before. 1t may
be more productive, and if not the ami
mails have more room, and so do those
who have to care for them and work
about them. The forage for them is
all put under the roof instead of being
stacked up outside There is more
sunlight and more pure air where the
modern abominable barn cellars have
been put in, to fill the space above with
the fumes of decomposing manure, and
the health of animals and the owners
is better assured. This alone repays
the cost of building higher, and the
modern hay fork and carrier make it
eagier to put fodder over a beam "a
feet from the floor than it used to be
when we were young to throw it with
i, fork to 10 feet high. The cost of this
labor saving machinery is small COM
pared to the value of the space gained
by the increased height of building,
or of forage saved by having it all
knoused.- Cultivator.

A Notable Bridge ycat.

In the transportation of logs from
the heart of the California timber
belt to the mills an important engi-
neering feat has been accomplished.
A canon on the south fork of the
American river had to be traversed,
and as it was 1000 feet deep, it was
determined to build steel wire sus-

the canon is 1850 feet. Between the
two terminal towers the space is 2,050

immense gap. without support between
the towers. On these cables runs a

WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.

rhere are loyal hearts and spirits brave,
With souls that are tried and true;
Then give to the world the best you have
And the same will come back to you.
Give love, and back to your heart will flow
The love that your heart most needs;

The deeds and lives we live;
Then give of our best to every one,
And the world will as freely give.

Cats as Government Officials.

"Several years ago letter contain
ing large sum Of money disappeared
from the New York postofiice," writes
Hugh Netherton, in the Ladies' Home
Journal, in telling Of Cats
That Draw Salaries" "A month
after the disappearance a desk in one
of the rooms was moved, and on the
floor was found nest Of young rats
resting on Il bed of macerated green
backs-all THAI was left of the missing
letter. Uncle Sam at last decided to
employ q cat to protect the New York
postofice from rats and mice. The
first appointee in the United States
Rat and Mouse Catching Service was
a large, gray tabby. She secured the
place through the recommendation of
her owner, who certified that she was
not only a good mouser, but also II
friend Of the Administrations qualities
which she at once eXemplitied by her
work.
"With New York as an example,
other postoffices asked for cats, and
to-day nearly every large office in the
United States has its official mouser or
rat-killer, who receives from nine to
twelve dollars year. This income
is expended under the supervision Of
the postmasters for the purchase of
food. Milk is the chief item, for the
cats are supposed to provide them
selves with meat

THE TALE OF A SHIRT.

bouoht earlv this snring n supply of
gorgeous negligee shirts. One of the

Mt n cost of $3.50 each. was so peculi-

When he came down to breakfast one

warned him that a view of the shirt
would certainly be fatal to his more
delicate patients. Feeling chastened
by this rebuke. the doctor took off the
nightmare and went down to work in
white linen.
That evening another Young doctor
called at the PHYSICIANS home and the
subject of the wonderful shirt was
mentioned. Finally the garment itself
was brought down and displayed and
the matter was settled by the accent
ance Of an offer of fifty cents for the
shirt made by tho younger physician.
The new owner of the shirt put 1t on
one day and started to walk down
Clark street on his way to one of the
railroad stations. On the way the
shirt caused almost a riot among the
excitable deniaens of the Leyee and
the doctor took it off that night for the
last time. A few days later. by way
of q Joke, he sold the now famous
garment to q Young cousin for twenty.

and went to a roof garden. where the
plaids and stripes attracted so much
more attention than the vaudeville
performance that he took his depar-
ture before the entertainment was
more than half through.
That night burglars broke into the
house of the doctors cousin and
among the property carried off was
the shirt. The burglars were never
arrested and in n week or two all the
parties who had been interested in the
rainbow front forgot its existence.
