COST or KEEPING HENS.

The cost Of keeping hens depends
not only on intelligent care in feeding,
but on whether the feed is bought or
raised, says an exchange. The ration
for laying hens should be such that
the nutrltlye ratio TO the egg produc'
ing properties should be about one in
four. This can best be produced with
cut clover mIddlings, bran, corn meal,
for q morning mash, with grain in
variety, corn, rye, buckwheat, wheat,
millet, ETC.. A fair amount of green
food, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc.,
should be mixed in in the mash oc-
caslonally or fed raw every few days.
ON such ratIons a hen may be kept at
a cost of about sevepty-cents a year,
less lathe food is raised.
Buclxwheat is one of the best Of
graiA foods for fowls and adds great
ly to egg production. Kafiir corn and
millet are also good If they can be
raised or bought at low price, On the
ratlons specified two meals n day is
sufficient, the mash in the morning
and whole at night, fed among the
litter on the floor. 1t is sometimes a
good plan to cut the night ration a llt-
tie short, feeding the portion reserved
about the middle Of the afternoon
among the litter on the floor Of the
scratching house to keep the hens
busy. This question OF food and their
cost needs to be studied closely, es-
pecially in sections where the eggs
fall as low as ten cents a dozen dur
Ing the summer.-Farmers Home

GRunBIXG OUT sTrMps.

Clubbing out stumps or trees is a
hard job IL all the roots are removed.
it does not pay to dig out all the roots
except in road building or digging cell
lars, The best way to remove small
trees from the soil is to cut them down
SIX or eight inches from the ground.
Dig the soil away from the stump,
from four TO six inches deep, cut
length Of stove wood from the stump
and cover the roots with soil. 1t is
much easier to cut the tree twice than
cut II through the tough roots the first
time, as 1t is hard job to work out
chip long enough to fell the tree eX.
ccpt hewing out little at a time by
taking tiers OF chips. When cutting
the stump the blocks may be split off
In thin pieces working around the
stump to get the narrowest side each
time. The roots remaining in the soil
will decay in few years, causing the
soil to settle a little, which may be
filed and reseedcd.--J. II. Andre, in

WoMAN's WINNING CARD.

A womGn's winning card is cheer
fullcss.
She may be capable of countless
sef-sacrifces, infinite tenderness, and
endless resources of wisdom, but If
she cloaks these very excellent pos
sessions under a garb Of melancholy
she may almost as well not have them,
so far as the ordinary world with
which she comes in daily contact is
concerned.
Tel the average, busy man that
bright lovely flower blooms away
down in an underground cave, and he
won't care enough or have time enough
to delve down there to look at it. But

The busy man treads, and he is certain
TO see it and pretty sure to look at 1t
with pleasure, too. rg.s
That is cheerfulness. The root or
gladness may be in the heart all right,
but II has to blossom out into q sunny

Is the only footing upon which social
Intercourse can be based. Some one has
