Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. It does not mean weakness or
feebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. 1t is of
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assinilate food which is the sole source
of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food.

VICTIMS OF THE PIANO.
The Performers Are Not the Only
Ones to be Pjtjed.

A Berlin ply stefan of renown, be,
lieving that excessive practice at the
piano is responsible in a measure for
the alarming spread of nervous
diseases, has instituted a campaign
against beginning the musical educa-
ton of children at the early age now
customary both in this country and
in Europe. In his opinion no girl
should be permitted to enter upon
the study of music before the age of
sixteen, and even then the hours of
drumming upon the keyboard should
be restricted to two day. Of one
Thousand girls who undertook piano
practice before the age of twelve, six
hundred later became afflicted with
some form Of nervous disease, but oil
one thousand whose musical educa-
ton was neglected, only one hundred
ever suffered in this manner. From
these statistics the doctor deduces
the theory that fewer finger ex-
ercises" and more exercises out Of
doors are the needs of girls now.
adays, and though deductions from
statistics are generally to be looked
upon with suspicion, many of the
lafty will approve his common-sense
views.
But the German savant might wei,
have gone step farther in his in
yesugations and considered the sad
case of those who are compelled to
listen to the efforts of the beginners
upon the piano, says Robert Webster
Jones in the Honsekeeper. The
sunerings OF the player are as moth

voluntary auditor who is trying to
work, perhaps, while an embroy

many girls without a particle Of
talent begin the study of music, and
especially the piano, because their
parents believe it is "the proper
thing" to DO. After running the nerves

ers, and the coops and brooder houses
for small chicks should be some dis
lance from the old vermin- breeding
hen houses and other buildings. A
good feed for small chicks can be
made as follows: Take two quarts
coarse corn meal, half a pint coarse
sand Cor fine broiler teeth grit and
half a pint fine cut beef scraps; mix
and bake as corn cake, only bake it
about twice as long or just as dry as
you can; then crumble it up fine and
feed it once each day. For the other
feeds provide nicknacks in the way
of cut wheat, steel cut oats, common
fan or mill tailings, some millet seed
and some curd cheese; light bread
soaked in milk and squeezed dry is
good for them, and in spite of the
cautions we sometimes see, dampened
corn meal in light doses is good

THE BAKERS THERMOMETER.

! Bakers have a curious way of tell
ing just what the temperature of the
oven is" said baker who had been
/ in the business for more than a quar-
ter of century, "and they can tell,
, too, with almost marvellous accuracy.
You take man who is an expert in
! the business, and he can tell what the
/ temperature of the oven Is by simply
touching the handle Of the oven door.
In nine cases out of ten he will not
miss it to the fraction of degree.
Bakers have other ways, of course, Of
! testing the heat of the oven. For in
stance, when baking bread they some
times throw little cornmeal -four in
to the oven in order to test the heat.
But the bakers fingers are the best
gauge, and when you come to think of
the different temperatures required in
baking different things, it is no small
achievement to even approximate the
heat OF the oven by touching the han
die of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the ris-
ing time of loaf of bread, after it
has been placed in the oven, 1t ought
to be in temperature of rs degrees
Fahrenheit. During the baking pro-
cess, in order to cook the starch, ex-
pand the carbonic acid gas, air and
steam and drive off the alcohol, the in
side Of the loaf must register at least
220 degrees. In baking rolls, buns,
scenes, tea biscuits, drop cakes, fancy
cakes, New York cakes, mullins, puff
cakes and things Of that sort the oven
must show heat of $50 degrees or
higher. When the oven is at 400 do,
grees, 1t is fit for cream puffs, sugar
cakes, rock cakes jumbles, lady fill
gers, rough and ready and jelly rolls.
At $50 degrees wine cake, cup cakes,
ginger nuts and snaps, pies, ginger
bread, spice cake, such as raisin, cur
rant, citron, pound, bride and so on,
may be baked. 1t requires a still low
er temperature to bake wedding cakes.
kisses, anise drops and things in this
class. But whatever the temperature

Friends? o. yes, We are friends;
The words we say are the same,
But there is not the something that

The grace, though it has no name.
When others are with us We feel it

When alone, there's a sort of irksome-
ness,
And nobody to blame.

Less but little more.
A little more accent, little more
stress,
Which was not needed before

Raising Small Chickens.

My experience is that chicks two
weeks old are half raised, as far as
mortality goes; of course rats, minks
and skunks, also some of the family
cats, do not cares whether the chicks
are two weeks or four weeks old

fore they are suspected. Cats Kill
rats, but for poultry-men one good rat
dog and spade is worth dozen cats.
This is my experience. We should not
undertake to raise chicks among rats
kill the rats, and as a precaution have
the brooder house or coops some dis
lance from the barns, cribs and other
rat harbors, and still more, the brood
ers and coops should be rat-proof and
the dog encouraged TO make war on
all ''varmints." ! am confident that
not over 80 per cent of the chicks
Matched ever reach marketable age.
In some instances perhaps 10 per cent.
escape and live, and in other instances
where care and watchfulness is the
rule so to 80 per cent. are raised. A
little more about rats; they often do
their greatest damage in daylight,
pick the chicks up in II weeds Or
wherever they can get them; keeping
the weeds mown down is precaution,
and especially around the barns and
crib; eternal vigilance is the price of
success in the little chicken business
The same methods as for minks and
skunks are recommended for rats. A
few steel traps, the trusty dog and a
shot gun will discourage the hawks
and crows.
Now about feed The kind of feed
is almost always blamed for little
cnick ailments. | think the greatest
number of experienced poultry raisers
will agree with me in saying that
bowel trouble and other small chick
ailments are more often due to other
causes than the kind of feed; over

value OF the adjacent property, these
girls finally abandon music as
ignorant as when they began and
take up some other fad. Few girls
dabble in painting or drawing with
out at least a modicum of artistic
taste or talent, but many, apparently,
regard piano playing as purely
mechanical accomplishment. If this
Berlin physician can induce such
girls to forsake the piano in favor OF
the golf stick, the lawn mower or the
carpet sweeper, his efforts in behalf
of suffering humanity will not have
been in vain.
