BRAN IS EXCELLENT.
Poultry Thrive ON 1t Because 1t Con.
tains . Generous Proportion
Of Rich Lime.

Bran is excellent for poultry, and
one point in favor of bran is that
it contains q much larger proper
ton Of lime than any other cheap
food derived from grain, and as the
shells of eggs are composed of lime
it is essential that food rich in lime
be- provided. 1t may be urged that
the use of oyster shells will pro-
vide lime, but it will be found that
it is the lime in the food that is
most serviceable, because it is in a
form that can be better digested and
assimilated than carbonate of lime,
says the American Fancier.
Clover is also rich in lime; and
when mess of cut clover and bran
is given the fowls they will need no
oyster shells or other mineral mat
ter as source from which to draw
the supply of lime for the eggs. Do
not forget that in summer, however,
the use of all kinds of foods should
be used with judgment. If the hens
have free range give no food at all
as long as they are laying, but If
they begin to fall of, let bran be the
leading ingredient Of the food al
lowed. In winter the bran and clover
are even more essential, as the fowls
cannot then secure green food on the
range.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Bran is excellent for poultry. It
contains a large amount Of lime,
which will help in the formation OF
shell.
Even If supplied with grain the
fowls need more heterogeneous food
in addition, as eggs cannot be de-
rived from food that is lacking in
the elements required for their pro-
duction.
Prepare to get those pullets that
are to lay next winter on the way.
It is the early Matched pullet that
furnishes winter eggs and the early
Matched cockerel that wins at the
shows or sells highest in the mar
ket, according to the use to which
he is put.
Even if you do live on q farm, Sc
lect out dozen Of your best hens
and mate them to first-class male.
You will make money and add to
your pleasure by doing this. There
is no good reason why q farmer
should not have the best fowls that
can be found.
A splendid trade is being worked
up in broilers in Ontario. The breed
wanted for this is one giving a
plump carcass at Q very early age.
!, The Wyandotte has this tendency.
Quite naturally q laying hen eats
!. but little more than one not laying
and It is very easy matter to re.
duce the profit of flock Of 20 to
zero by keeping five or SIX chronic
non-layers among them.
The scarcity Of eggs and the high
prices that have ruled during the
i winter should induce farmers to give
hens their proper place on the farm
AS rule all live stock receives atten
! tion, being well sheltered and fed
/ but the fowls are supposed to be able
TO largely provide for themselves
The plan may result in the fowls be
II ing able to exist through the winter
/ but the hens do not lay.-Commer

Have Learned /. Lesson.

Those who stick to the old method
of setting hens, and there are many
thousands who do, have learned val
uable lessons from the incubator,
says an exchange. First: They have
learned to choose eggs of uniform
size and of perfect shape, with sound
shells. AS incubator chickens do not
have lice, they have learned, second.
", to dust thoroughly their hens be-
fore setting, and two or three times
during the period of incubation.
Thirdly: They have learned to use
clean nest boxes, and clean bedding.
They confine the hens to coops and
take great pains to place proper food
and water before them. Fourthly:
Many test the eggs under hens, fol-
lowing the example of the machine
men, and after testing three sittings,
for example, and throwing out the
infertile eggs, place the live eggs UNI
der the two hens and reset the third,
thus gaining time and compelling
"Biddy" to do her full share of the
! work.

"A very curious superstition appears

reputation for eradicating disease
from men and beasts and driving it

into the skin over the affected part Of
the body and remains there until a
few drops Of blood appear. The blood
is collected in sheet of paper. and the

Amy's Birthday
Flowers
sy zn1zRszTH NscRAcKzF'

: e
AN RS. DALE'S fingers trembied, and
Jv her lips trembled, too, as she
stood before her mirror, tying her bon
net strings and pinning her veil. Amy
had usually tied her bonnet strings and
pinned her veil.
1T was almost year since she had
one day folded Amy IS hands and slipped
into them the last flowers that they
ever would hold in the world, but she
had not yet grown accustomed to doing
for herself all the little things those
once busy hands had done for her.
During the time that was almost q
year she had missed Amy with that
loneliness with which mother does
miss the daughter who goes away into
the great, strange silence just when
she is old enough to be her mothers
friend as well as her child. Mrs. Dale
missed all those things that had made
up Amy's life, and, perhaps most, she
missed the little things that Amy had
done former, and that now she did for
herself.
Then, too, Amy had been her only
daughter. Mrs. Dale's two sons were
in college, and her husband was away
from home all day. She had many in
terests, and many duties, too, yet she
was very lonely. She was much more
lonely without Amy than even her hus-
band or her sons could know.
As she stood before the mirror, tying
her bonnet strings and pinning her
veil, her heart was even heavier than it
usually was. The next day would be
Amy's birthday, and instead of pre-
pairing gifts and susprises Mrs. Dale
was about to go into the city to buy
the most beautiful flowers she could
find to lay on the girls grave. Amy had
loved flowers, and the next day would
be her first birthday in that other
world, that world in which mothers are
never left lonely.
Mrs. Dale was thinking all this to
herself as she went into the city on
the trolley car. It was September and
It was afternoon. The car went past
fields beginning to turn brown, and
between lines of trees beginning to
show among their green sometimes q
red leaf,.o or a leaf Of bright gold. The
sun made the leaves all the brighter,
and It gilded the brown fields, too, and

their respective hives. Each alter
nate entrance notice is painted q
darker color for the purpose of help
ing the bees to mark their hive.
The bee house was built in March.
About the middle of April, when the
weather was favorable to open hives,
I took the long Ideal hives into my
home apiary and transferred the
bees and combs from the chat hives
into them. 1t was only necessary to
take three frames at a time and lift
them from one into the other. To-
ward evening, when the bees stopped
flying, I closed the entrances with
wire netting, loaded them on wagon
and drove to the bee house and they
were soon arranged in position. The.
next day, which was pleasant, the bees
came out in great numbers and evil
IDENTIFY became somewhat confused as
to which were their right hives and
three hives were deserted, the bees
having Joined some of the others. But
II built up nicely and in May divided
three Of the stronge ones and made
full complement of 20. In the latter
part of May removed the division
board and filled the hives with frames
of comb foundation.
There was not swarm to issue
which was as had hoped. The bees
are always comfortable, being shaded
from the hot sun, and they seem to
have sufficient room on 20 frames in
one body. It is very comfortable for
the operator too. I took from this
house in September $50 pounds Of very
nice honey which brought SOL. The
yield in my home yard was much be-
low the average, so that the year can
be classed a very poor honey year. As
there are enough surplus combs built
j expect an average crop of 1000
pounds year from this house. No
further expense is necessary, only
carriage in bringing home the honey.
I visited the house during summer only
once every week or so.-F. C. Herman,

JUNE IN NORTHERN ITALY.
It. Beauties interestingly Described
by = Writer Who Has Visited
That Country.

Varallo itself is but days journey
|. from Andorno. In June weather the
drive thither is beautiful. The narrow
country road mounts through chestnut
groves as fine as those which cast their
velvet shade for miles about Promon-
togno. At first the eye dips from one
green ravine into another, but at
Mosso Santa Maria, the highest point
of ascent, the glorious plain again
into view, with white roads winding
toward distant cities, and the near
TANKS Of the hills clothed in an unbrok-
en- forest. The Val Sesia is broader
than the Val d'Andorno, and proper
tionately less picturesque; but its ex-
panse of wheat and vine, checkered
with shade and overhung by piled-up
messy rocks, contrasts effectively
enough with the landscape Of the
higher valleys, says Edith Wharton, in
Scribner's. AS Varallo is neared the
hills closein and the scenery regains it's
sub-Alpine character. Unforgettable
is the first glimpse of the old town,
caught suddenly at bend of the road,
with the sanctuary lifted high above
the river, and the tiled roofs and
church towers clustered at its base.
The near approach is disenchant-
ment; for few towns have suffered
more than Varallo under the knife of
modern improvement" and those who
did not know it in earlier days would
never have guessed that twas once the
most picturesque town in north Italy.
A dusty, wide-avenued suburb thinly
scattered with cheap villas, now leads
from the station. to the edge of the old
town; and the beautiful slope facing
the Sacred Mountain has been cleared
Of it's natural growth and planted with
moribund palms and camellias, to
form the pleasure grounds of a huge
stucco hotel with failure written over
every inch of it's pretentious facade.
One knows not whether to lament the
impairment of such completeness, or
to find consolation in the fact that
varallo is rich enough not to be ruined
by its losses. Ten or fifteen years ago
every aspect was enchanting; now one
must choose ones point of view, but
one or two of the finest are still intact.
Turning ones back, for instance, on
the offending hotel, one has still, on a
summer morning, the rarest vision OF
wood and water and happily blended
architecture; the Sesia, with its soft
meadows and leafy banks the old
houses huddled above it, and the high
cliff crowned by the chapels of the Sa.
cred Way. At night all melts to di-
viner loneliness. The clustered dark.
ness of the town, twinkling with lights
lies folded in hills delicately traced
against sky mauve with moonlight
Here and there the moon Furnishes q
somber mass of trees, or makes cam.
panile stand out pale and definite as
ivory; while high above the cliff pro
jects against the sky, with an almost
Greek purity Of outline, the white
domes and arches of the Sanctuary.

tic days that come just before Septem-

thought of so many things about which

some of them. She thought and re-

in the city, and walking along the
crowded street to florists shop on
one of its corners.

she was not buying them to give into

rich, and she began to consider. She
