words of farewell individually to each

she choked for moment. There were

ON EASTER MONDAY.
Egg-ROlling on the White House
Lawn-A Festival for the
Youngsters.

For one day in the year-Easter mon
day-the presidents back yard is open
to all the boys and girls of Washing
ton for sort of all-day picnic. In
some parts of the country Easter Mon
day would be rather early for an out
door frolic, but down along the Poto-
mac river the grass is usually green
by Easter time, and the sun shines
down with bright glow so that the
air is warm and balmy.
Preparations for the egg-rolling are
usually made in Washington homes on
the Saturday preceding Easter, and be-
fore the sun is very high on Easter
Monday groups of boys and girls are
seen on their way to the white house
carrying baskets of lunch and sup
plies of decorated eggs. All day long
they play games on the velvety lawns
and romp up and down the hills, skip
ropes and sail boats in the fountains.
The colored eggs take prominent part
in the games. The ''littlest" folks roll
their eggs down the hillocks, the larger
boys and girls "pick" Two boys or
girls strike the ends of their eggs
together and the one who first cracks
the others egg wins it.
When the sun goes down in the after
noon tired but happy crowd of boys
and girls troop through the gates
homeward, while the white house
grounds are sight-eggs and egg
shells are everywhere, orange peel,
peanut hulls, the remnants of cake and
bread, fruit and paper bags litter the
beautiful grounds. Whenever there
are any children in the presidents fam
lily they, too, come out with baskets
of colored eggs and join in the fun.
good many years ago the egg-roll-
ing at Easter was a common custom
throughout the city of Washington,
grown-up people all joining in games
of rolling eggs down every hill in the
neighborhood, but for several years
past the custom has been confined to
boys and girls on the white house
lawn.-Adapted from the Epworth
Herald.

IMPORTANT QUESTION.
When Do Swine Make the Cheapest
Gains, in the First Season or
at Mature Age.

1T is now pretty generally under
stood that sheep and cattle make
gains the most cheaply near the
birth period, and also the most rap
idly. This is owing to the greater
activity of the secretions when an
imals are young. But this explana-
ton does not so well apply to the
case of swine. After several years of
experimenting at the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, it has been ascer-
tanned that pigs do not gain nearly
so rapidly when they are young as
when of more mature age. When
they were on the sow it was found
difficult to make them gain a pound
a day. After weaving for two or
three months they seldom made more
than one-half pound per day, but aft
er say five or six months for the next
two or three months they gained we'll
OR to two pounds per day. Thus it has
been shown in several instances, that
between the ages of five and eight
months pigs have made the most
rapid increase in weight. The exper-
iments referred to were not made
with view to test this question, but
these results came out incidentally
in a large number of tests. AS re-
suit of the casual manner in which
these conclusions were reached, the
relative cost of the gains cannot be
given, but it is probable those made
near the birth period were the least
costly, owing to the small amount
relatively of the food consumed.
This is great question. 1t ought
to be further Investigated. The ex-
perience referred to calls up the
thought that it may be possible to
market pork too young to bring the
grower the greatest profit, even
when swine are sold as young as six
or seven months, the popular age at
which to sell. These results in swine
growing so different from those OBJ
tanned in growing cattle and sheep,
are well worthy of the closest study.

SIGNIFICANCE OF EASTER.
Is That of Life Breaking Out Over
Its Old Narrow Bounds and
Limitations.

The significance of this Easter-time
is that of an expanded life-life
breaking out over it's old narrow
bounds and limitations, life throbbing
out into new and more glorious
realms. Death and the grave seem to
abruptly limit life, just as the dark
ness of night shuts down and cuts
off the sunlight. Easter takes in the
morrow. The great Easter forecast
for humanity is life leaping out into
eternity as in the rock-hewn tomb
Christ disenthralled Himself of the
vestments of the grave. Who can
measure all that is meant in that
grand formula of expression:
ssWhen I awake in Thy likeness I
shall be satisfied?" The Eastertide
is an earnest of the opening out Of
our earthly life in itself. Many limi-
tations pen us up far within the
range of our conscious capacity for
life even while we are here. Selfish
ness and sorrow and narrow horizons
shut us in in the restricted bounds
of this life, but the Easter opens the
door and the way out into a larger
life and more glorious liberty
liberty wherewith Christ hath made
rs free.''-Christian Work.

Using the Hand Separator.

Prof. H. Fl. Dean: A great many
who use hand separators take the
warm cream from the separator and
put it in with the cream that has been
skinned in the morning or the pre-
vious day That practice will result
in poor quality of butter every time.
Cream from the separator should al
ways be cooled at once to tempera-
ture of so degrees or lower, otherwise
it will be worse for buttermaking chan
that obtained in the old way without
separators. Neglecting to wash the
machine properly, and neglecting to
cool the cream properly, are the two
great evils to guard against in the
use of the hand separator. If these
two points are carefully observed, we
shall have a better quality of cream,
but not otherwise.

II have great hopes for Honor" said
Miss Mary, cheerily.
Every girl at the round table glanced
curiously at Honor when she took her
seat. Her face was flushed rosily. 1t
may have been the effect of her walk
in the bracing spring air, but to Miss
Mary's keen eye it came from some
thing in the heart of the girl. The old
istlessness was gone, new purpose
and enthusiasm shone in the dark
eyes. Honor was one of the quiet girls
of the school; tonight she seemed
more silent than usual.
The constant stream of chatter dealt
with the visit to the hospital and the
people there, and tears came into girl
ish eyes as they told pitiful stories of
the sick. Then the chatter leaped to
the Easter vacation. A group of the
girls were going with Miss Mary as
chaperon to Old Point Comfort, others
to spend their two weeks holiday in
New York. The girls with homes not
too far distant were wild with delight
at the thought of seeing fathers and
mothers and brothers and sisters.
Honor was the only girl who did not
join in the general anticipation. Her
neighbor, roguish Mollie Cable, rallied
her on being tongue-tied.
In the Lady Lindsay school there is
half-hour every evening after tea
when the principal is to be found in
her room for a chat inside a closed
door. Honor was the first to claim her
tonight, and the old lady led her to
the large chair by the window. The
girl did not sit down, she stood over a
vase of daffodils, touching them with
tender fingers. She turned when the
principal spoke to her and burst into
an agony of tears. Tie old lady rose
and drew her to a low chair beside her
own, and the girl hid her face in the
tender arm that encircled her. She
did not interrupt the tears; she
smoothed the soft brown curls softly
and waited till the sobs grew fainter.
The girl raised her head and kissed
the lovely, wrinkled hand that lay on
her shoulder.

THE EASTER DINNER-TABLE.
A Few Suggestions as to Decoration
of the Festive Board with
Spring Flowers.

The decoration of an Easter dinner
table should be a Joy to every woman
who can command some spring flowers.
For, of course, if available, only spring
flowers, with their promise of new life
and golden days, would be ones choice;
lacking which, however, no flowers
need be scorned. One can make table
beautiful with green alone, particular
ly such delicate green's as asparagus
or maidenhair ferns, or even the COM
mon fern or smilax artistica1ly ar
ranged. Perhaps the loveliest floral
setting for the Easter feast would be
one of white tulips and maidenhair
ferns. These could be arranged in a
single piece in the center of the table,
or the centerpiece could be of ferns
alone in variety, and the tulips placed
at each cover in tiny crystal vases
only large enough for single bloom
and it's leaves. Tulip-leaves are very
effective and should never be removed
in any disposition made of the flower.
Next to the pure white of Easter, in
tulips or other flower Qeaving the lily
with it's sacred symbolism to it's right
full office in the church), this choice
would fall upon something yellow, the
most gladstone of colors, and natures
spring favorite. Of these jonquils are
probably the most effective.-Ella Nor

Treating BIoat in Sheep.

The trouble of hoover or bloat in
sheep, caused by various gaseous foods
being taken into the stomach, such as
Green clover, alfalfa, etc, is easily re-
iieved by tying round stick back in
the mouth. This is done by taking a
niece of an old broom handle or other
round stick of about that size. The
stick should be eight or ten inches
long, cut grooves around the stick near
each end and tie at these places a
string which can be tied back of the
head. when the stick is put in the
mouth. This arrangement forces the
mouth to remain open. The gas will
quickly escape and the animal will be
relieved. This treatment is as app
plicable for the cow as for the sheep,
but larger stick is required for the
cow.-Nebraska Farmer.

when to slaughter a Pig.

When to slaughter pig must de-
pend on what we have to feed him, and
the price at which feed is selling in the
market. The price of pork also cuts
some figure, but not so much as the
price of feed. For instance, this year
in some localities pig feed is so high
in price that every pound of additional
weight put on costs ten cents, which IS
far above the highest market price
possible. Where the hog raiser lives
near a creamery and can get skim
milk at low figure, or near cheese
factory and can get whey for prac-
tically nothing, it often pays to keep
the pigs till they are of good size, even
when other feeds are high. This year
a good many pigs are being got rid
of as soon as they attain weight OF
$50 pounds.-Farmers Review.
