Large Flocks.

1t requires but little time and atten-
ton to manage a small flock, but if it
is intended to so into poultry raising
as q business, it means work and plenty
of it. Hard work is necessary to grow
crops, to conduct a dairy, or to manage
stock, and the same is true Of poul-
try. In the winter time there may be
huge drifts Of snow to shovel before
the hens can get out Of the coops, the
droppings must be removed, the quar-
tiers cleaned, the fowls fed and the
water cans filed. The eggs must be
collected frequently, in order to prevent
them from being frozen, and the SUR
plus poultry and eggs must be shipped
to market, and in summer the yards
must be kept clean. All these details
call for labor, and the larger the num-
Der Of fowls the greater the amount of
work required. But there is nothing
d~iscouraging in being compelled to
work, but for the labor required there
would be no profit in the business. 1t
is the labor that sells in the shape of
eggs and carcasSes and not the chicken
itself. The profit is that derived above
cost of food, labor. etc.

The Darkened Stable.

Where animals are kept in the stable
during the summer months, as, for eX-
ample, work horses, or, in some in
stances, the breeding stock, nothing
contributes so much to their comfort
as that Of protecting them from flies.
Animals that are kept busy fighting
flies require more food to keep them
in condition. and, indeed, it Is impos-
sible with an unlimited supply of food
to keep them in proper condition.
Advantage should be taken OF the
fact that flies constantly tend to seek
the light places. A stable need not
be absolutely dark in order to prevent
annoyance from flies. and in fact, we
do not believe in keeping stables too
dark. on account of the fact that ami
mails are liable, if kept in such quar-
tiers for any considerable length of
time, to go wrong in their eyes. Gun
ny sack nailed over the windows OF
the stable will greatly reduce the num-
Der Of flies that will poster the ami
mails. These should not. be nailed
down absolutely tight at the bottom,
or air will be excluded and the stable
will become warm and unhealthy. II
the sacks are partly loose at the bot
tom they will shade the stable Salts
factorily and at the same time admit
air. Horses placed in the stable for
an hour at noon will eat better, rest
better, and we cannot help but think
they will work better afterward II
they are afforded some protection dur
ing the time they are in the stall. In
some of our better class Of stables reg.
ular window blinds are used, these
being pulled down during the day IL
run up at night, thus freely admitting
the air when no protection from flies
is necessary. 1t is claimed by those
who use such blinds that their cost is
more than Offset in the saving OF feed
that is effected by the protection which
they afford.

SANITARY SOAP SERVER.

cited as an instance. Powdered soap
receptacles that furnish the user with
q sufficient supply of soap without in
dividual contamination are offered III q
number of forms, but they are only oc.
casionally met. The illustration shows
an English type that has been adopted
in the houses of Parliament and in
many English hotels. which otherwise
are VIGOROUSLY behind the age in con-
veniences and comfort. The soap Is
put up in the form Of a circular bar,
perforated through the centre, is placed
on a spindle and inserted through the
top Of the cylinder, which is locked to
prevent differing and meddling. The
end Of the spindle which passes
through the soap is cut with a fine
thread, and is connected with a modi-
fed catchet wheel carrying four fine
saws crossways at the bottom of the
apparatus, which is open. By turning
the cylinder the saws are brought into
contact with the bar of soap, cutting
away fine granulations, which drop
into the hand placed to receive them.

Genuine and initiation Perfumes.

perfumes are becoming more pupil
lar every year." said a. r. Mitchell,
the representative Of a Detroit, Mich.
perfumery concern. Ten years ago
the use Of these scents was exceeding
~ restricted, and tie use now is much
more general. AS 4 result our sales are
much larger than they were in those
Gays.
1t may seem peculiar, but perfumes
arc adulterated and initiated just as
baking powd'" and other things arc.
For instance, We have q high grade
carnation pink perfume from the
flowers themselves. This. of course,
is costly, but the perfume retains its
cdor, and q handkerchief that has been
scented with it Will retain the perfume
even after it is washed. A hot iron
will bring out the oCor again. Now, a
perfume that is just rs good to all ap-
peararces, and that for ten minutes
will have the same effect. can be made
out of the oil of cloves mixed with al
cohol. At the end of ten minutes the
odor will be gone."-Milwaukee Senti-

Leaf Tobacco For Export in Future.

mo more strips will be shipped to
England" said L. B. Aucilterlonie, of
Liverpool, who is an official OF the
American tobacco trust and represents
that concern in England. THE export
OF tobacco strips is practically at an
end. The exporters cannot afford to
ship the stripped leaf when the I'M
stemmed leaf 4 be entered at Eng
lish ports six cents lower. Leaf to-
bacco will be the thing for exports
after this. And the North Atlantic
ports will not lose the business, either.
The rate in that direction is ten cents
a hundred higher. 1 will admit, but
ten cents q hundred pounds is moth
ing in comparison with the more rapid
time which can be made by the North
Atlantic ports."-LOuisvillc Courier

Substitute For SInokehouse.

When there is no smokehouSe, take
a box two feet or more high. two and
one-half feet square, and make a hole
in centre of the box as large as stove
pipe; cut out of one side of edge a place
like the draft on a stove, large enough
to admit a wash pan or cobs or chips.
After you start the fire, use damp
cobs, so there will be lots of smoke
and not much blaze; bore three holes
in bottom Of an old molasses barrel,
for the strings to come through. Pro-
vide a stick to run through the strings,
making sure they are securely tied to
the meat; turn the box upside down
and place the barrel over the hole in
box; wrap an old blanket where the
box and barrel meet so as to hold the
smoke. In cold weather you can keep
a fire all day, but if the weather is
warm a fire morning and night is best
and the process will require several
days.-Agnes NJ. Knickerbocker, in The

Uaeful HintH.

My experience is, that San ounce Of
prevention is worth q pound of cure
that land will not become cloddy it it
is narrowed as soon as plowed. or
before the wind blows through it;
that the common house scrub brush,
sold everywhere for a dime, is the best
thing to clean horses legs with; that
a good torch used judiciously once a
week in the poultry house. and among
the nests, will destrop more vermin
than all the poison in the drug stores;
that it is not a good plan to feed grain
to a horse Immediately after drinking
heartily, unless you keep poultry
around the stable to pick up the whole
grain u~ndigested; that a small piece of
cloth saturated with lard and rubbed
on the inside Of a horses ears Will
give him great relief all day from the
insects that get into the ear; that II
thing at q time advances the whole

SILENT BRIDES OF KOREA.
Newly Made Husband May Not Hear
His Wife'S Voice For Months
After His Marriage,

Here is q picture brought from the
far east only a short time ago which
shows exactly how the silent Brides
as those of Korea are called with sc
much reason, look on the wedding day.
1t may be said that although the robes
depicted therein remind n somewhat
of Japanese garments, the broad glrdle

which is formed on the island girls

edged with deep white bands are much
larger than those worn across the
straits.
The headdress, a most important
part Of the quaint outfit. is peculiar to
Korean brides. Made Of heavy Cloth
carefully quilted and stiffened with a
sort Of canvas lining, it covers all eX-
cept a very little Of the hair and rises
about a foot above the head. The
large wooden pins at the back hold
the headgear securely. in place, the
ribbon falling I'VE the left shoulder
being decorative only.
Dressed in this costume the young
woman who, since her parents have ar
ranged all her marriage affairs. per-
haps never has seen her future hus-
band, is led before the priest for a
ceremony which probably has no equal
for simplicity. At a word from the
priest the contracting persons bow to
each other slowly and solemnly and
all is over! Then the bride goes home
to await further orders, while the hus-
band, gathering about him all his
friends and acquaintance. departs fol
an elaborate feast, which he gives in
honor of himself.
Once married the brides family
identity at once sinks before her new
name and she is never known except
as So-and-So's wife. Her chief duty
is to attend strictly to her W bust

Buy a Pump.

Oxygen gas, the new remedy f0r
milk fever, is attracting wide spread
attention, but it takes a Yankee to
wrest it from nature without cost. A
few weeks ago an ex-senator who
owns 4 fine Jersey herd in Southern
Michigan, on going to his table,
found one Of his best ows down with
the dread disease. Manufactured
oxygen was ~tifty-seven miles away,
and no chance 10 get it before morn
ing. The Senator is noted for original
methods in emergencies; after standing
for a few moments in deep thought,
he started at a rapid pace for the
house and shortly returned with a
bicycle pump in his hand. Cutting off
the nozzle he inserted a milking tube
in its place. and was soon pumping
oxygen into that cows bag. tying each
teat as o o as it was filled. then he
awaited developments. In less than
three hours she was on her feet look
ing for a bran mash: morning found
her entirely recovered. Farmers,
there is plenty of that oxygen left, so
bug a bicycle pump and be ready for
the next cow attacked by the dread
disease.-Mrs. L. May Dean. in the

Simple Experiment to Prove Earth Roun

Simple Experiment to Prove Earth Round
Although it was demonstrated more
than 1000 years ago that the earth is
globular in form, there are certain per-
sons who maintain that it is fiat.
About thirty years ago a controversy
on the subject waxed so hot that it
was determined to put the matter to
direct experiment in order to settle tine
question once for all.
The place chosen was near Bedford,
England, where there is a straight six
mile stretch of water. At both ends
and in the middle of this water posts
were erected, each Of the same definite
height above the water level. Upon
looking with q telescope along the tops
of these three posts it was clearly
seen that the centre n overtopped
the others by about six feet, owing to
the curvature of the surface OF the
earth.
These experiments were recently re-
peated in a more scientific manner by
H. Yule Oldham, who read a paper on
the subject before the Glasgow meet
ing of the British Association. The
same results were obtained, with the
important difference that by the en-
ployment of o telc-photographic lens
