Papering Hen House Walls,

It will cost but little to paper the
outer walls of poultry house with
waterproof paper. It is better to place
the paper on the outside, as it then
protects the boards from becoming
wet. One plan, however, is to strip the
boards on the outside and paper the
house on the inside. This can be done
with any ordinary paper-wrapping
paper being excellent-two thickness
es being applied, and it can be removed
in summer, as it will then afford a
harboring place for lice. The better
plan is to use waterproof paper, which
if painted will last for years.

Expert Picking Of Poultry.

| Some of the expert lpickers of poul-
try can take the feathers off the fowls
so quickly as to astonish one who does
not understand the operation. It is
done by dipping each carcass in cold
water and allowing it to drip. Finely
pulverized resin is then busted over
and among the feathers, which causes
the feathers to stick to. the hands, even
the pin feathers coming out with but
little difficulty. Use the common
crude resin, about one-half teaspoon
full for each fowl. Farm and Fire

STAND FOR IRON KETTLE.

it into circle so that it will fit the
kettle about half way up the side;
then rivet or weld the ends together
and fasten legs to this by rivets or
welding. The legs should be so turned
out at the bottom so they won't sink
into the ground. The height of the
leg should be about IL inches.
I prefer riveting, as it is so much
easier done and can be done on the
farm, while if the legs are welded on
it will have to be made by a good
blacksmith. With this device a per-
son can heat water and render lard
with the greatest convenience.

HOW TO SHIP LAMBS.
ut Pays Well to Prepare the Carcasses
with Neatness, Each Placed on
n Stretcher.

Winter lambs for market should
weigh not less than As pounds alive, and
be fat. This condition is determined
somewhat accurately by feeling the
brisket and the tail near the body. A
high degree of fairness is more impor-
tant than weight. as they sell by the
carcass, rather than by weight. The
weight of two lambs being the same,
the younger one will sell higher. The
evidences of age are the fleece and the
degree of ossiica ton in the bones.
Most lambs are marketed between the
ages of ten and 16 weeks, few as

Rect Pulu for Fodder.

Secretary Wilson believes there is
great value in the pulp of beets after
the saccharine matter has been ex-
tracted which it will be profitable for
the farmer to use for fodder. The old

pose of this pulp advantage ously, be-
cause its real value has not hitherto
been appreciated. ''The new factories .
says the secretary, 'haye to pay people
to haul it away, but the farmers are be-

and some of the beet sugar companies
are buying cattle to fatten them with
it, as the distillers do with their re-

YACHT RACING.
This Expensive sport Was Begun In
England In 1862.

Though vessels answering to the
character of yachts were in use by
royal personages from an early date
Queen Elizabeth, for instance, had one
built at Cowes, Isle of Wight. in 1888
lie word yacht" was not used until
the year 1860 when the Dutch present.
ed a "jacht" named the Mary to
Charles H.. says the London Chroni-
Gle. In Evelyn's Diary, under Oct. 1,
1861, occurs the entry, Il sailed this
morning with his majesty in one of his
yachts, vessels not known among us
till the Dutch East India company pre-
sented that curious piece to the king
being very excellent sailing vessels"
Yacht racing commenced in 1862,
when Charles H., who had some yachts
built for him by Sir Phineas Pett,
wagered $500 that yacht of his would
beat Dutch one owned by his brother,
the Duke of York, afterward James II.
But the growth of yacht sailing was
slow, and it is not until 1920 that an
authentic record of q yacht club is
found. ii which year the Cork Harbor
Water club, now known as the Royal
Cork Yacht club, was formed. In 1912
similar club, the Yacht club, was
formed at Cowes by some fifty yachts
men. This club in 1920 attracted the
notice of the Duke of Clarence, after
ward William ", when its title was
altered to the Royal Yacht squadron,
Cowes. Fourteen years later William
". presented the first royal cup to this
club. But in 1851 only 500 yachts were
in existence. Since the international
yacht race of that year the increase in
the number has been immense.
In America. the Chronicle says, 1.-The
sport may be said to have commenced
in 1914. in which year the New York
Yacht club was formed. and the his
tory of that club is practically the his
tory of American yachting"

Gentlemen" said he, ''in my time |

but the greatest fight ever saw be-
tween birds in all my born days was
contest between a bald eagle and
gray eagle near my ola place in Kappa
hammock.
This fight took place OH the bank of

10 be as old as Methuselah was the
only spectator and saw the struggle
from start to finish. The bald eagle
had caught Il muskrat and was about
to eat it for breakfast when the gray
eagle soared down and attempted to
rob the other one of It's prey. Then
commenced the combat, and, Lord. how
the feathers few. They fought with
wings. beaks and talons, and l could
hear the talons crack when they struck
and tore each other. The sounds made
by their wings as they buffeted one an
other were like explosions of musketry.
while their screams and yells sounded
demoniaeal The battle lasted fully
fifteen minutes and wound up with
victory for old baldy, who drove the
gray eagle away and then resumed his
interrupted breakfast.
"oh. yes. there are a great many ca
giles up in my part of the state" said
the old agriculturist in reply to a ques-

and lofty trees whereon they build
their nests. We farmers do not give
them any latitude. however Whenever

AN EARTHLY TRINITY.
Health and Wealth Ought to Re
Linked With Happiness.

We are used to feel, TO put lie crudeiy.
that folks who have health and money
ought to be happy. And so they should.
sufficient income promotes comfort,
and that contributes to cheerfulness of
spirit, and to have health of course
means to feel we'll, and that is a long
step toward feeling good. But how far
do we have TO look to find persons with
health to squander and more money
than they know how to spend making
strenuous efforts TO attain happiness
and merely achissing impaired health
II you have health and money you can
usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment is
different article, and even when you
have got enjoyment happiness may
still elude you. Pleasure pals and
sometimes demoralizes; enjoyment cas-
lily yields to WEAKNESS, but you don't
get tired of being happy, and you may
be ever so tired and be happy still
Happiness IS O state OF satisfaction
One reason why it is so elusive may be
because we human creatures are a
complication of body, mind and spirit
and require for our complete satisfac-
ton a particularly nice adjustment Of
blessings and of conduct. If we i'm
dulge the body too much the other two
partners become mutinous; If we over
cultivate the mind the body may break
down, and if we bestow all our atten-
ton on mind and body. the spirit, ig-
nored, takes sure vengeance on us for
our neglect 1t is so difficult so to
measure and direct our efforts as to
appease all the demands of our tripli-
cate natures that the simpler way Is
to regard happiness as a byproduct,
give over all direct attempts to acquire
constant supply of 1t and simply ae-
cept however much of it may come
while we go about our business with
such intelligence as we can. We can
usually keep our bodies IN fair repair
If we are not too lazy or too self indul-
gent If we have to earn our livings
our minds and bodies, too, find occupa-
ton that is usually wholesome, and
the discipline of work done, as 1t usual
ly is, for others as well as for our
selves, helps to satisfy the exactions of
the spirit.-Harper's Weekly.
