The POULTRY YARD.

Accommodating filth is a prolific source
of disease. especially gapes-

One OF the best ways OF giving bones
to fowls is to pound them into small
bits. so that the fowls can swallow
them readily.
After the poultry quarters are cleaned
up sprinkle them with solution OF two
gallons of water. one gill of carbolic
acid and one pound of copperas.
The main feature of the bantam is It's
small size. In breeding them every
other point should be sacrificed in or
der to have them as small as possible.
Leaving out the fact that a large
profit can be made In raising poultry
and eggs for market. a greater profit
can be made in raising the same for
home use.
In working up the breeding yards It
is better to have a small cocxerel and
large hens than a large cockerel and
small hens unless some special object
Is to be desired.

The lemon contains various acids,

blood into carbonates of potash and
carbonic acid. AS scurvy is believed to

Wells are not worn exclusively as hat
trimmings. They have more useful
purpose.
'Win you show me your black veil
ing. please; something heavy enough to
hide these blotches?"
1t was n business woman who thus
addressed the clerk at the yelling coun-
ter ut one of our large Main street
stores the other day. The obliging clerk
delved down into a pile of veilings and
brought forth a heavy chiffon, which
the customer held before her face as
II the unsightly spots were hidden from
view.
She drew a sigh and said:
mo; it is not thick enough. may as
well confess that I have been in search
of beauty by cleansing my blood. and
my physician assured me the other day
that II took his tablets that l would
soon have a perfect complexion. OF
course he admitted that would have
one or two pimples on the face. but
that they would not amount to much.
Just look at mel must find some
thing that will hide these blotches. for
no matter how disfigured is my face
could not neglect my business"
While she was confiding this to the
clerk both had been busy in trying one
veil after another, and the afflicted wo-
man finally decided to buy a heavy
mourning veil and wear 1t reversed,
with the hemmed end draped graceful
ly above the brim of her hat.-Buffalo

German contemporary points out that

as the age of 35 years. at 80. we are
told, the human body has reached its
full height, which is retained for few
years. after which the growing down"
process begins. at first and for many
