POULTRY POINTERS.

The best eggs are the result of a
meat diet.
Weak legs come from forced growth,
high feeding and close confinement.
Use no deformed or weak fowls for
breeding and do not keep the same
cock more than one season.
A Noting hen seldom lays. She can
not be supplying eggs while the strain
of growing new feathers is upon her.
A very fat hen seldom lays anything
but soft shelled eggs. Apoplexy and
egg bound are the result of excessive
fat
Leaves and hay chaff make excellent
litter for the floors, and by throwing
grain among it fowls are often kept
busy scratching.
Keep the fowls away from the barns,
stables and carriage houses In such
places they are nuisances; besides they
are more comfortable in a place by
themselves.
Hens must have carbonate and phos-
plate of lime for their shells, and these
will be found in old plastering, broken
oyster shells and bones, with some of
the meat and gristle attached

SQUASH BUGS IN AUTUMN.
why 1t Is Important to XIII on as
Many as Possible.

Why 1t Is Important to XIII on as
Many as Possible.
The squash bug so far as is known
develops exclusively on plants of the
squash vine famil.., including, besides
the squash, pumpkins, melons, Gu
cumbers and gourds. In New Hamp-
shire none of these plants grows wild
to any extent; consequently the bugs
that are present any spring will be
only those that have developed the
previous season upon plants grown by
man.
1t is the common practice to pay no
attention late in summer and early in
autumn to the swarms of young bugs
developing upon the vines, because
there is little danger of serious injury
from them so late in the season, and
this is the reason why the following
spring the squash bugs swarm into
the fields in such enormous numbers.
Developing in autumn without moles-
tation they migrate to the woods or
other quarters for winter shelter, re-
naming there until spring, when they
come to attack the new crop. And,
doubtless to a considerable extent,
every grower may then be responsible
for the attack upon his own vines
though, of course, there is more or
less interchange of bugs from neigh
boring plantations.
AS a result of this condition it will
be readily seen that it is important to
kill off as many of the bugs in au-
tumn as possible. This is especially
true of the man who grows squashes
in region where few are grown by
other people. At least as soon as the
first frost kills the vines the planta-
ton should be thoroughly gone over
with one of the spray pumps that
throw combination of kerosene and
water, and all the bugs that can be
reached should be drenched with at
least 10 per cent mixture of kero-
sene.
A large proportion of the bugs at
this time are in the later nymph stages
and will be able to develop upon the
juices of the stems and miniature
squashes. They congregate in great
numbers upon the latter and are there
easily drenched with the spray. One
should not be content with going over
the field single time Many of the
bugs will surely escape, so that the op-
GRAFTON should be repeated as often~as
any considerable number of bugs are
present-New Hampshire Station.

A Persian Dinner.

A traveller in Persia thus describes a
dinner served in the household of a
wealthy Persian: THE chief dish con-
sists of fowl boiled to rags, surround
ed by toothsome mass of rice, hard
boiled eggs, fried onions, almonds and
raisins. There is Shiraz wine, clear,
golden red liquid that has travelled
over the mountain passes on muleback
in huge glass carboy. Among the
dessert mamma has conspicuous place.
This delicacy is somewhat akin to
nougat; 1t is studded with walnuts and
almonds and is jaw sticking to the
last degree. Like the mango, it is best
eaten in private, for it renders the mas
ticator speeches.. 1t is made of gum
that exudes from tree and is said to
be engendered by a worm. "-Chicago

Keeping Friends.


There is nothing so very difficult In
making friends; the trouble is to keep
them. Pleasing manners and taking
way will always win admirers, but a
lasting friendship must be built upon
a f1rmer foundation than a transitory
smile, an hour of high spirits or even
great physical beauty. OF course it is
pleasure to feel that one is favored
by some radically beautiful woman,
but unless there be genuine congenial-
ity between the two concerned the time
Will come when passive loneliness will
cease to be attractive. To retain friend
ship one must be continually on the
watch and not let the familiarity that
comes from q lengthy knowledge of
the others life breed the contempt that
SO often follows a close intimacy.
To retain either friendship or love
the illusions must not be dispelled. Do
not, because you feel sure of your
ground, let the commonplace enter in
and monopolize the everyday affairs
Let the halo of sentiment hover over
even the prosaic affairs of daily life,
for, once dispelled, they can never form
again, and in the one glimpse of the
material side of the intimacy may be
utterly destroyed relation at one
time thought to be eternal

Northwestern Rifle League.

A league of rifle clubs is now pro-
posed for cities of the northwest.
The plan appears to be promoted pri-
marilv by Spokane enthusiasts. F.
S. Merrill of the Spokane Rife club,
who has gone to the southeastern
part of the state on a business trip
is quoted by the Walla Walla Union
as follows:
"The members of the Spokane Rifle
club are going to try anu form a rifle
shooting league in the northwest and
hold tournaments every so often.
"Since last winter the rifle club in
my city has done little and it is the
general impression that the rest of
the clubs in this state have done the
same Now this scheme is proposed
as a remedy for such a condition of
affairs. If the league were organized
it would probably include the cities
of Spokane, Walla Walla, Portland,
Seattle Tacoma and two or three 9TH
ers where rifle clubs have been es-
tablished.
THE last tournament was helu in
Dayton, and, by the way, that is a
place that should be included in the
league Since then no arrangements
have been made for a new one 1t
has not even been said where it
should take place if one should be de-
cided upon. The club in Spokane is
the first, I think, to even hint of a
league, but all the same | am in
favor of such a plan. 1t would revive
interest in target shooting and the
city in which the tournament would
be held would derive much benefit.
however, it is all talk so far, and
do not know what further action will
be taken in the matter and will not
until l return to Spokane"

EASY PROPAGATION.
Grape, Currant and GOOseberries.
Layering and Cuttings.

Grape, Currant and GOoseberries.
Layering and Cuttings.
Grapes are rather difficult to propa-
gate from cuttings unless one has had
some little experience. A Farm and
Fireside writer recommends beginners,
as general rule, to grow them by lay
ering, which is very simple To do this
successfully the new growth should be
bent to the ground and covered for
about foot of it's growth in the mid
| die of the cane with four to six inches
| of soil Treated in this way, such
branches will generally have q good
root system by the time the leaves fall,
when they may be taken up, cut into
two parts and treated as small, sepa-
rate plants.
Currants are best grown from cut
tingS made early in September or any
time after the leaves fall. They may
also be made up later in the autumn or
even in the spring with very good re-
suits. They should be made about
eight inches long and preferably of the
new growth. They should be planted
out seven inches deep in good, rich,
heavy soil, setting the cuttings about
four inches apart in rows three feet
apart. Great pains should be taken to
firm the soil carefully around the cut
tings, so that they cannot be easily
displaced.
On the approach of winter cover the
cuttings with a mulch of we'll rotted
| manure about two inches deep to pre-
vent their being thrown out of the
ground by frost. With this treatment
| it will be found that the cuttings are
rooted before the winter sets in and
they will make strong. vigorous
growth in the spring.
Gooseberries do not grow easily from
cuttings in the northern states, where
they are best grown by layering. This
consists of bending the branches to the
ground the latter part Of June or the
LIST of July and burying a piece of the
new growth for about six inches
Many small shoots that grow upon
the branches will then produce roots,
and they may be cut apart in autumn,
when, if they are rooted ever so little,
they will grow the next spring if plant
ed out and treated aboutyas for cut
tings set in the spring.

DON'T GET MORBID.
1t Is Not Difficult Matter to Think
Yourself to Death.

Yourself to Death.
Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
AS a rule, the thought that kills re-
lates to something the individual
breads more than anything else in the
world. There is the germ of fatal
thought in ninety-nine persons in every
hundred, and the exception is only
proof against the thought disease by
having been inoculated with the lymph
of optimism or philosophy.
The idea that one has some incipient
disease in ones system, the thought of
financial ruin, that one is getting on in
life without improving prospects-any
of them or thousand similar
thoughts may carry healthy man to
premature grave. melancholy
thought that fixes itself upon ones
mind needs as much "doctoring'' as
physical disease. 1t needs to be eradi-
Gated from the mind or it will have
just the same result as a neglected
disease would have. The thought dis
ease sometimes cures itself after run
ming it's course; so does smallpox. But
who would settle down to suffer from
smallpox and chance recovery, as thou
sands of foolish persons settle down to
let the thought disease, which has at
tackled them, do it's worst?
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid notion and every nagging wor-
ry should be resisted to the utmost,
and the patient should be physicked by
cheerful thoughts, of which there is a
companions-cheaper than drugs and
pleasanter
There have occurred scores of dozens
of cases where healthy persons have
thought themselves into having tumors
and cancers-cases which admit of no
doubt whatever that the diseases re
suited from constant morbid fear
There might possibly be fewer cases
of cancer if some great doctors could
assure the world that it is not a hered-
itary disease, but morbid minded per-
sons on hearing that there is cancer in
their families generally do the very
worst thing they can do under the cir
cumstances = they conceive an awful
dread that they will be afflicted with
it. They dwell upon the fear constantly,
and every trif1ing ailment which trou-
bles them is at first mistaken for the
premonitory symptoms of cancer.
The morbid condition of mind pro-
duces a morbid condition of body, and
if the disease does happen to be in the
system it receives every encourage
ment to develop.

Scots In American History.

1t is noteworthy fact in American
history that of the four members of
Washington's cabinet Knox of Massa-
chusetts, the only New Englander, was
Scotch-Irishman; Alexander Hamil-
ton of New York was a Scotch French
man, Thomas Jefferson was of Welsh
descent, and the fourth, Edmund Ran
dolph, claimed among his ancestors the
Scotch earls of Murray. New York
also furnished the first chief justice of
the United States, John JAY who was
descendant of French Huguenots,
while the second chief justice, John
Rutledge, was Scotch-Irish, as were
also Wilson and Iredell, two of the
original associate justices; a third
Blair, was of Scottish origin. John
Marshall, the great chief justice, was,
like Jefferson, of Scotch and Welsh
descent.-Charles r. Hanna's "Celt In

Its Value and How to Use 1t In Fit

The roller is an implement which

If it is used without an understanding
= of its operations it may be produc-
tive of harm instead of good, says a
writer in Rural New Yorker The
farm roller should be used in fitting
the wheat ground. Ordinarily the
roller is looked upon as an implement
with which to crush clods and with
which to press the stones into the
ground upon the meadow land But
when used upon wheat land it becomes
something more than a clod crusher.
1t compacts the surface soil, it firms
the seed bed, and as a result of it's
action upon soils the harrow is made
far more effective in it's action. That
this last statement is true can be
easily proved if one will take a fresh
ly plowed field and roll a portion of it
before narrowing. The truth of the
statement is especially seen on sandy

the following account of the disposal

FITTING GROUND WITH THE ROLLER.
or loamy soils. BY the use of the
roller the surface particles of soil are
pressed closely together, and surface
capillarity is greatly increased.
1t should be made principle in farm
practice that whenever the roller is
used upon plowed land it should be
followed with the harrow so that the
surface soil may be again loosened and
the escape of moisture be prevented.
Where the roller is to be used at
the time of drilling in grain the roller
should precede the drill. After the
plants have appeared above ground
and are from one to two inches high,
the roller may be frequently used
to advantage. 1t serves to firm the
soil about the plant roots and gives
them a firm contact with the soil; it
pushes the small stones which may
be upon the surface into the ground
and thus prepares the way for the
reaper or mower.
In fitting the land for wheat this fall
the roller should be used to firm the
subsurface soil, for wheat does best
in our latitude when made to feed near
the surface Of the ground in the fall.
A precaution which should always
be observed is never to roll land when
it is so moist as to be sticky, for then
harm will be done. Sandy, gravelly
soils may be rolled often, but the har-
row should follow soon after.
