NATURES REMEDIES.
Yarrow for Coughs and Horse Rad
Ash Leaves for Neuralgia I'm
the Adirondack.

When the Adirondack native becomes
afflicted with and of the numerous
trifiing ills which make mankind
wretched, said the returned visitor, ac-
oording to the New York Herald, he
does not waste much time on doctors,
but goes straight to the woods or the
attic for natures own remedies.
There Is one old man whom | have
met with packbasket on his shoulder and
shears and a rough board stool in his
mittened hands going after yarrow,
which, dried, is a standby for coughs
when 1t has been made into a wicked
looking brew.
Fir balsam, coaxed drop by drop,
from the blisters which swell on the
balsam FIR at full moon, is a sovereign
remedy for chest and lung complaints.
Gravel weed, by which name they in
suit trailing arbutus, is excellent for
the complaint which gives 1t its name,
and bladder root has a desirable effect
son the kidneys. Sage tea, containing a
little summer savory, Is efficacious for
worms in children, for which belmonia
is also used. Sunfiower seeds, stepped,
strained and sweetened with molasses
will cure whooping cough.
Horseradish leaves, wilted and bound
on the face and back of the neck, will
drive away neuralgia, and nutmeg,
bored and tied around the neck will
keep 1t away. The nutmeg must be re-
newed about once every six weeks.

You have now done your part to-
ward making provision for fertile
eggs that will hatch strong and vigor-
Gus chicks-the only kind worth try
ing to raise. For laying stock do the
Matching for the larger breeds in Feb
ruary and March, and the smaller
breeds in April, if possible. Use eggs
not to exceed two weeks old.
If you use an incubator follow the
directions accompanying your machine.
If you use the hen for Matching use
such only as are by disposition fitted
for the business for example,
as the Plymouth Rocks. While setting,
dust the hen often with insect powder,
also the nest. 1t is better that the
nests be on the ground, with a very
little soft straw under the eggs. Have
the nests nearly fiat. Provide for the
hen her daily feed and dust bath, not
emitting the grit and water and greer
stuff Feed wheat, corn and oats, no
mash; mostly cracked corn. After
Matching leave the chicks in the nest
forty-eight hours without feed of any
kind. The morning of the third DAY
feed the chicks eggs that have boiled
fifteen minutes, mixed with small grit.
Let this be the feed every three hours
of the day for two days, with plenty of
fresh water. Then for a week feed OH
dry Johnny cake, made of cornmeal
and steel cut oats mixed in milk. When
about ten days old their feed can
consist wholly of fine cracked corn,
steel cut oats and cracked wheat in
about equal parts, with little meat
every other day. Always keep before
them a supply of fresh water, sweet
skim milk, grit and roots for green
stuff. In a few weeks they can be
fed whole grains scattered in litter
in which they can scratch, such as
chaff or cut straw. At all times pro-
vide for them dry quarters, and keep
down the vermin, and you have rea-
sons to look for success.

Rearing the Chicks.

One of the many absorbing ques-
tions on most farms now is, or should
be, concerning the Matching and rails
ing of the years quota of chickens.
Too frequently the results along this
line are disappointing and discourag-
ing. This need not be. Success will
generally follow a right start, followed
by right methods. We would name
few of such essentials to success.
Assuming that the breeding pens
have been made up from the health
lest and best birds in the flock, mated
with a strong and vigorous male, the
feeding and care of the breeders is Of
first Importance. A good scratching
shed or room should be provided with
no less than six inches Of scratching
material covering the floor. Feed all
the grain on this floor, so the hens
will be compelled to take the exercise
necessary to their health and vigor.
Keep constantly before them a supply
or fresh water, skim milk, grit, crushed
shells, green stuff, such as cabbage,
roots or clover, and a good dust bath.
Let the roosting room be airy, dry
and comfortable and keep down the
vermin, by the use of carbOlinium
and insect powder. In the morning
feed give a dry mash of good bran
and chop feed-half and half by
weight, and not to exceed one-half OF
what they will eat up clean. The
evening feed should be one-half wheat,
one-fourth corn and one-fourth oats.
Also feed little meat daily.

Poultry interests
More Consideration 10 Utility.

In the opinion of the writer a flock
CT superior laying hens seldom comes
by accident, and never by Indifference.
Such a flock is solely the product of
evolution-the result of watcl fulness,
study and patience. Thus it is that
we can account for so comparatively
few flocks of superior layers. At the
same time such flock is within the
reach of most owners of chickens.
We firmly believe in poultry exhibit
tons, also in poultry fanciers; we
think, however, owing to the acknowl-
edged Importance that the hen holds
as commercial factor in the estima-
ton of the public, there should be
another recognized class to be known
as the poultry breeder. The prolific
laying qualities overshadow every OH
er consideration with many in select
ing hens for their f1ocks, while others,
equally as enthusiastic, are attracted
by the standard form, plumage, mark
ings, etc., and give but little heed
to the laying qualities. We sometimes
fear that the tendency of the poultry
exhibition is to educate fanciers rath-
er than breeders. Such should not
be the case. One seldom hears the
utility QudllIy VI d Dllu OpOhCh VI III
the show room, and yet the most
scrawny fowl in the hall may be the
most profitable one from the utility
standpoint. We would not in any way
deprive any who keep fowls to look
upon or, as the saying goes, "for
fun of the beautiful results secured
by the fancier's skill in mating his
breeds. But the person who keeps
hens for profit-that is, for eggs
should introduce new blood from
flocks that have been bred along utility
lines solely
The person who persistently claims
to combine the utility with the fancy
in his breeding invariably, and pos
sibly unwittingly, leans far the more
strongly on the side of the fancy. The
country is being stocked with new
blood from these fancy focks, without
any material Improvement being made
in the natural laying qualities of our
fiocks. While such is the case, we
believe it should not be and is entire
ly unnecessary. We are sure that the
laying qualities of some of the stand
ard breeds could be greatly improved
at the sole expense of somewhat
modified form. H. l.. Blanchard.

WHY IT WASN'T LEGAL.

the Actual Truth.

Students Flippant Answer That Was
the Actual Truth.
In the New York law school at a
recent lecture on the making of wills
the case of woman In one of Rider
Haggard's books was cited. The
woman had mans will inscribed in
ink on her back. And the will was
held regular and legal because it had
been made In writing.
After giving this practical illustra.
ton the professor called on John
Smith, saying
rs a will so inscribed regular and
legal, in your opinion?"
NO answered Smith.
"Why not?" asked the professor.
Because it's skin game" replied
Smith.
The professor felt angry enough to
order Smith out of the room, but the
class laughed so much that he de-
cided to overlook the students flip.

father of Maj. Stickney. The cup has
descended from father to son and Is
now the property of Mrs. Entwistlc,
who has the precious relic in safety

The workmanship on the cup is very
fine and the wear of two centuries
seems to have made no perceptiblc diff
ference in its appearance.
A fact concerning the naming Of To.
ledo was brought to light when the
history of the old cup was looked up.
Many historians say the city vas
named Toledo by man named Dan
iels. Records in the Entwistle home
show that Toledo was named by the
Stickneys. The history of Spain was
being studied and when the name To.
ledo in Spain was reached Two Sick
ney suggested that the settlement then
called Vistula and Port Lawrence be
named Toledo, as there was no other
Toledo in the United States. From
this. it is said, the name of Toledo

night the slaves come in when sum-
