There is no better way to educate
the younger members of the family
to habits Of economy than to give
each a flock OF fowls, but in so doing
they should be instructed to keep strict
accounts and be made TO attend to
al the details Of management. Should
the poultry or eggs be used in the
family the young people should be
paid for such, and everything done in
businesslike manner. In some fam
lilies no spending money is allowed
children unless they earn it, which is
done with n view TO teach them the
value of money, and by giving them
n flock Of fowls they not only endeayor
to manage the flock TO the best advan-
tage, but acquire knowledge of poui-
try keeping, which may, in the future,
enable them to realize an annual in

EARN NOTES.

Mature dams and sires are safest to
breed from.
1t is better to underfeed than TO over
feed a horse.
In horse without size and bone
blood is of little value.
For pasture, blue grass is the most
nutritious of all grasses.
Corn allowed TO grow too thick in
the hills will not ear well.
No young farm animal is profitable
that is not growing steadily.
Too much fat on growing pigs will
check the growth of bone and muscle.
In addition to plenty OF good grass,
good pasture should contain shade and
water

All waste places should be cleaned up

leans would go we'll over the 2,7Oo
mark, but neither rolled up to its best
form, and the pins broke badly in the
first two games, the Tasmos getting

first frame, the Tasmos pulled up and
made a score of 957, landing them in
sixth place. The Turner's barely got
