Chickens with Stiff Joints.

1t is little singular that there
should at this time be so much com
plant about chickens developing stiff
joints and lameness, with a tendency
to sit about during the daytime, and
gradually weaken and finally die.
The writer has had several letters
on the subject lately, with a view to
defining the disease and devising a
remedy, But, do not think that 1 can
tell exactly what it is, or say what is
best to do for the fowls so afflicted;
other than to define it as rheumatism,
and swelled joints, the cause of which
is not so easily stated.
In my past experience l have noticed
the symptoms more prominently in in
bred stock; that is. stock that has been
bred for number of years without
changing cocks, so as to infuse new
bloodeThich latter is always invigorat-
! ing and valuable in stimulating more
active or rapid growth, and earlier and
more prolific laying on the part of the
pullets from such matings. This is
sone way in which to forestall, or pre-
vent stiffness and swollen joints; but
it does not help us any with fowls that
are already affected with it.
There is one remedy, however, which
is very simple, and which costs moth
ing. and that remedy is to be found in
the scratch pile. Let chicken scratch |
for its living as nature intended it |
should, and it will soon timber up and |
he healthful and vigorous. l would |
suggest this remedy to our friends who |
have fowls with stiff joints. Fix up a |
place where the rain cannot get to the |
litter, and scatter it to the depth of |
four or five inches. boarding UP the |
sides three feet high, and then scatter
the grain for the chickens in the in
closure-raking the litter about so as
to cover the feed up completely, and
leave it to the fowls to find. They will
work with Il hearty good WILL and be
the most active and happy lot you ever
saw Do this daily, and all stiff joints
will become normal, the combs will
redden and in a short time there will
be music and eggs. Indeed, it is ad
visable to adopt the scratch pen now,
at the beginning of the winter laying

DRESS THE HAIR SIMPLY.

With the coming of simple lines in
gowns and wraps, and the passing of
loppy effects, we may perhaps hope to
be relieved of the exaggerated styles
of hair dressing that have SO long pre-
vailed.
Immense puffs and punches of hair
hanging down over one eyebrow, great
horns carried forward beyond the fore
head altering the shape of the head to
grotesqueness, could never have been
thought beautiful.
In fact, there is something really vul-
gar and low bred about many of the
startling coiffures, and almost every
one will REJOICE to see them disappear.
The hats Of the season demand plen-
ty Of soft flufiness in the manner of
wearing the hair but as all efforts are
more or less trig and closely confined,
so he seasons hats call for less elabor-
81 lair underneath them.

strong WOMAN SWIMMER.

One of the best swimming feats Of

mouth, and the landing place was the
mainland a little below Hurst Castle
making the distance two miles and $50
yards. Considering that the tide va
ries very much it was remarkable
performance for a woman, for she COW
cred the distance in one hour and sew
enteen minutes, but, of course, was
helped here and there by slant in the
current. She was accompanied all the

slices cut in fourths add half a cupful
of chopped walnut meats; cover with
whipped cream that is slightly sweet
ened or serve with q cooked mayon-

Lettuce Sandwiches-An entire leaf
of lettuce is seldom used nowadays
in a sandwich. Instead, the leaf is cut
in ribbons with scissors. put between
thin slices Of buttered white bread and
seasoned with mayonnaise, French
dressing or salt, as preferred. Lettuce
should always be crisped before using
and only the heart leaves utilized.
Rice Drop Cakes = Have a pint of

full of saleratus, three tablespoonfuls
Of -four and two of melted butter. Add
then enough milk to form a STIFF paste.
Beat four eggs well, yolks and whites

what Shall We Do Next Yearq

Hhdl ShNll we DO Next 1e1rI
Plant less cotton Cut down the area
II we plant as much or more, just as
soon as it is planted the fact will be
ased to depress the price. The large
acreage we planted last spring is help
ing to keep the price from what it
should be now. 1t will be used again
if we plant so much.
Again, we should increase the acre
age in all kinds of provision crops so
as to be able to raise the next crop
free from mortgages. We should plan
to own the next crop and we should
begin to plow now and to prepare our
land better We should try to grow
more cotton per acre and make a good
yield on less land. The spectators
I cannot discount our good work. Grow
more cotton if you can, but grow it on
less land and grow it cheaper and own
1t when you grow it, You can do all
of these by little good planning.
There are so many of the items of fam
lily expense that you can raise upon
your own farm. You can have an
early salad bed plant lettuce, onions,
cabbage, Irish potatoes, asparagus and
English peas. You can grow chickens
and have a cow and a few pigs etc.
You can get through another crop with
out any debts if you try.
Carry something to town to sell when
you go, and don't go too often. Make
your cotton seed pay for your guano.
Keep out of debt and make all the
cotton you can.
This is the plan upon which you
ought to farm. 1t will soon make you
entirely independent.
You will be your own master and
not the servant Of the man you owe.
Make yorr plans for your personal
benefit. If each farmer will do that
the general result will be for the bene-
fit of all. If each farmer keeps out Of
debt and makes a surplus, then the
farming interest will be in prosper
GUS condition. If each prepares his
farm well by deep breaking and diver
SITES his crops and buys his fertilizers
for cash and raises his supplies at
home, the next cotton crop will belong

manipulated, as is done now, solely in
the interest Of the Spectator.
These things can each and all be
done by wise planning for 1904.
The prospect for the Southern farm
er was never so bright and encourag-
ing as now. Use brains more and de-
pend less upon habit and muscle. Cut
loose from the old beaten path and
work and walk along new ways. You
will find everybody ready to help you
when you begin to help yourselves.
Cut down your acreage in cotton and
the general acreage will be smaller.
Cut down your fertilizer notes and
your store mortgages and you will find
that farm life has brighter side than
you had thought. The Spectator can
not discount. your intelligence and
your independence, but he can and will
discount large acreage and large
btedness.-Southern Cultiyator.

THE NEW EARRING.

The explanation for the new style in
earrings is the change in the shoulder
line. In place Of the Gibson square
shoulder the smart thing this season is
the droop of 1880. Anything that will
exaggerate this effect is welcome. Pen
dant earrings accomplish this and also
make the round face look oval. The
ear has to be pierced to hold securely
the weight of the new elongated ear
ring. In this hole is placed the dia-
mond stud, and from this base hang
pendants of rubies, large, pear-shaped
pearls or pigeon-blood rubies. Some
very elaborate earrings have an addi-
tional dangle Of small diamonds or any
stone that will add to the brilliancy Of
the trinket.
The customers who desire uncommon
effects purchase the parti-colored ear
rings; from one ear will dangle q big
black pearl and from the other will
dangle pink pearl.
The earring of the Elizabethan and
Stuart periods is the modish one to-
day.
Very likely followers of extreme
fashion this season will adopt the style
of the single earring.
