DOOR THAT NEVER STICKS.

Mr. Moore has obviated all this trou-
BILE by the use of common one-quar-
ter-inch carriage bolt, and the door
is opened and closed with ease, no mat
ter what the weather may be. The
entrance hole to the coop should be
circular and about ten inches across,
while the door must be about one inch
larger, with one side pear shape, in
which to bore the hole for the bolt on
which the door is hung.
The door rests on a cleat, the up
per side of which just fits the side of
the door. Mr.. Moore has used these
doors double on some of his coops,
one inside. the other out, thus giving
greater protection to the inmates, es-
pecially in the fall and winter months.
In freezing weather the outside door
might stick to the cleat, but this trou-
BILE can be avoided by driving two
single nails or screws on each side of
the cleat for the door to rest on. To
insure the easy working of the door
1t would be we'll to put washer be-
tween it and the side of the coop, which
will prevent binding during rain
storm.-American Agriculturist.

Won't Work in Rain.

"There's queer thing about Ital-
ian laborers," said a contractor who
employs a great many of them, land
that is that they absolutely refuse to
work in the rain. Stop a minute and
think. Did you ever see gang of
them working on the streets, Dig
ging trenches or doing any other
manual labor, in the rain? Well, you
never did, and probably never will.
Just as soon as shower sets in, no
matter how slight, they will scram-
BILE for cover. If the rain continues
they will soon complain of feeling
sick, and knock off for the day. One
fellow will have sore throat, an
other will be doubled up with pains
in his stomach, and others will sud
denly acquire equally severe ailments
of all sorts. 1t is useless to attempt
to do anything with them, and pref
ty soon they will all go trooping
hcme. Why is it? 1 suppose it's
their natural antipathy to water"

CLEANING FEATHERS.
Washed, Whenever 1t May he
Needed, Just Like Clothes.

The old-fashioned feather bed. once
SO popular, has been steadily on the
decline for some time, as many claim
that feathers are hotbeds for germs,
and breed all kinds of disease. There
may be some truth in the theory,
but the prejudice is, no doubt, great
ly exaggerated Our grandmothers
for the most part slept on feather
beds several times as large as the
ones now in use, yet many of them
enjoyed excellent health and lived to
ripe old age. Feathers are unde-
niably very comfortable in winter,
and delicate persons and those who
suffer greatly from cold should use
them. If they are aired regularly
and given hygienic care there is no
danger. 1t is commonly believed
that feather beds should be summed,
but such is not the case, as the heat
of the sun draws out the oil in feath-
ers and gives them a rancid odor;
air them in the shade, it does not
matter how cold it is, provided there
is no dampness. Many are not aware
that feathers may be easily and sue
cessfully washed, thus insuring thor
ough cleanliness and disinfection, at
stated periods or after illness. To
wash feather bed, it is more con-
venient to divide the contents by
emptying them into two large sacs
made of coarse cotton. Have ready
tub of boiling hot suds to which has
been added two or three tablespoon
fuls of powdered borax. Immerse
the bag in the water and stir with a
clothes stick until the feathers are
quite clean. Then dip in a second
tub of VAIN, clear water and rinse
in the same manner. In warm wealth
er there is no difficulty in drying
them, but in winter they should be
hung in warm room, or better
still, near hot air pipe or register,
and left for some time before they
are again used. Pillows may be
treated in the same way and are
much easier to manage.-E. r. Park
er, in Indiana Farmer.

AMERICAN sELF-DECEIT.
Failing Which Calls for the Exer.
else of Discipline of the
Intellect,

Our self-deceit is a sign that We
have neglected great interests con-
nected with the intellect, says H. D.
Sedgwick, Jr., in Atlantic. If our
minds were used to study not merely
material things, but also all other
ideas that surround and witty life,
we should not be able to lead this
amphibious existence of self-deceit,-
half in words and half in deeds. AS
contemplation is our help to see life
as whole, and our guide toward
ripeness and completeness, so we
may discover help against self-de-
ceit in the observance of discipline.
Discipline is the constant endeavor
to understand, the continual grapple
with all ideas, the study of unfamil-
lar things, the search for unity and
truth; it is the spirit which calls
nothing common, which compels
that deep respect for this seemingly
infinite universe which the Bible calls
the fear of the Lord. Discipline
turns to account all labor, all expert
ence, all pain; it is the path up the
mountain of purgatory, from the top
of which contemplation shows man
life as whole. Discipline teaches us
to keep distinct and separate the per-
manent and the transitory; on the
moral side discipline teaches us that
right and wrong are not matters of
sentimentality, that will and energy
are Enthusiastically guides. Discipline
lies less in wooing success than in
marriage to unsuccessful causes, I'M
popular aims, unfattering ends. Dis
cipline is devotion to form; it teaches
that everything from clay to the
thought of man is capable of per-
feet form, and that the highest pur-
pose of labor is to approach that
form. Discipline will not let us mar
row life to one or two ideas, it will
not let US deceive ourselves, or put
on the semblance Of JOY or grief like
a Sunday coat.
For the holy Spirit of Discipline will fee
deceit,
And remove from thoughts that are without
understanding,
And will not abide when Righteousness
cometh in"
discipline and contemplation bring
life to that ripeness which is the
foundation of happiness, of righteous
ness, of great achievement; they are
the means by which, while we wait
for the inspiration and leadership of
great men, we may hope to piece out
the brilliant but imperfect education
provided by our industrial civiliza-
ton, and help our sons to become, in
Lowell's proud words, the finest race
of gentlemen in the world.

PREPARE FOR DROUGHT.
Many Seasons That Begin with Co.
pious Downpours of Rain End
in Dry Spells.

A look ahead is worth more than
a dozen glances behind, unless the
latter are used to draw a lesson
from. After the drought it is poor
consolation to say that if we had
done so and SO the crops would have
been saved. 1t is better to be pre-
pared for drought early in the
season, and to do this is simply to
give the crops the cultivation they
actually need. First we should do
our blowing as early as possible, and
then the harrow and cultivator
should follow the plow at regular in
tervals. By giving early and deep
and continued cultivation we accu'
mulate moisture in the soil so that
we have a surplus to withstand any
ordinary droughts. But to retain
surplus of moisture the soil must
be in finely pulverized condition.
Lumpy and cloddy soil soon parts
with moisture, either through soak
ing down into the subsoil or being
carried away by the winds and sun.
Deep blowing is necessary at first,
but surface cultivation thereafter is
best. The few inches of topsoil that
is finely pulverized may then dry
out by the hot weather and winds,
but the roots of the plants will find
n moist subsoil which they can
run down to. This is beneficial to
the plants because it strengthens
their power of resistance to drought
and makes them sturdier and more
vigorous growers. Surface feeding
plants are always the first to sue
cumb to drought.
One should use the roller more
freely on soils to store up moisture
against drought. This is particular
ly true on very light, loose soils
where the capillary openings are al
ways SO large that water passes too
readily upward and downward. The
roller congresses this soil and
makes it firmer, SO the movement of
the water is slower. Rapid move
ment of the water in the soil, either
upward or downward, is to be avoid
ed. The soil that holds it and re-
fuses to part with it is what we
need. We can get such mechanical
conditions in almost any soil if we
pillow, harrow, cultivate and roll
properly. Such preparations against
drought are the best that can be
done, for if the dry spell does not
appear the plants will be benefited
by the cultivation to such an extent
as to pay for all the trouble.-W. E.
Farmer, in Boston Budget.

Clean Versus. Dirty Epru.

Commission merchants say that on
an average there is Il difference of
four cents dozen between soiled
eggs and those that are sent to mar
ket bright and clean, and it is not
necessary that all the eggs of a ship
ment shall be soiled in order to
make the consignment rank as such.
Even very small proportion of
soiled eggs in a package will cause
the whole to be rated several cents
below the best market price. The
trampling on the eggs by the dirty
feet of the hens, fresh from the
moist earth of the yard, and the dis
coloration produced, does not affect
the contents, but it gives the eggs
an uninviting appearance, and it is
not expected that people will be in
different to the looks of things which
they buy for their table. Poultry
keepers can afford to take time to
clean the shells of the eggs which
they send to market when the failure
to do SO means the loss of four cents
q dozen.-.-Rural World.

SOME LONELY PLACES.
Island Homes Where the News Of the
World Is News n Month After
the Event

The lighthouse keepers at Eddy
stone were II days late in learning
the news of the peace in South At
RIGA, but they may be quite early
compared with St. Kilda, which may
have still to learn that the war is
really over. 1t is strange to think
that, in this age of telegraphs and
telephones, when messages are
flashed round the world in less time
than it takes cabman to drive from
St. Paul's to Charing Cross, there are
still lonely parts of the empire many
months removed from civilization, so
isolated that no whisper of great
events reaches them until they have
taken their place in history, and are
all but forgotten in the great world.
More remarkable still is it that in
these days of Imperialism there
should be, even in an empire which
shelters one-fourth of the human
race, whole community quite for
gotten. says St. James Gazette.
Yet, forgotten empire" is much
more than a mere phrase. There is
pathos as we'll as glory in empire.
The entire population of lonely
island in the Pacific, over which the
British flag flies, was found two or
three years ago to be "close to
death" through starvation. For nine
months not ship had called at the
Palmerston islands, and, though the
heat killed all the cocoanut trees and
RI al, ,,+ ~ Il
which could be used as fruit, the peo-
pie of the islands were cut off from
the rest of the world, and from food
supply of any kind. Somehow, in the
shipping arrangements which en-
! brace Palmerston islands, the place
had been forgotten, and the situa-
ton of the people had become des-
perate when the relief arrived. The
owner of the island had died the day
before, and the whole population was
starving when a calling vessel, hap

TIMELY FARM NOTES.

The best way to keep weeds out Of
the fields is to keep fertility in. The
grass will then assert itself and con-
quer the weeds.
Whether potatoes are to be grown
on the level or in ridges depends
largely on the soil and to- some ex-
tent on the season. 1t would be
mistake to attempt to raise potatoes
by level culture in a clay soil badly
drained.
When once established alfalfa
should be cut at least three times
yearly, the first cutting occurring in
June, well before the usual time Of
haying. If cutting be delayed quality
suffers. 1t must, therefore, be grown
by itself, unmixed with grass.
