A celebrated French artist, who

told by the maiden that she would
never marry SO long as her mother
lived. They waited half a century
before they were united.
Only two years ago a wealthy
maiden lady In al English county
provided a delightful sensation by
marrying the curate of her parish
church., a young man exactly 60 years
her junior. An astonishing feature OF
this marriage was that as a girl the
aged bride had been engaged 10 the
curate's grandfather, and perhaps 1t
was the memory of this ancient ro-

you find yourself In q fairly large hall,
with an attractive staircase irhmedi-

used as the stair to the basement
from The combined dining room and
Kitchen.
The sitting room has a orncr ar

not great, as II Is partly supported

This dormer also gives good yentiia-

Raising Young Chicks

This year ! will raise only about
two hundred chicks. SO will do all
my Matching with hens. l leave all
the chicks under the hen until she
is through Matching and until they
are all dry. This gives them a good
start, as a chick TO he strong must
not be chilled at this time. When the
hen is through Matching ! remove her
TO a dry coop and feed her well with
whole corn. Then when the chicks
are thirty-six hours old l commence
feeding them five times a day, giving
them all they will eat up clean OF
hard boiled eggs mixed with stale
bread crumbs. alternating with a feed
Of cracked oats. Feed this way for
two weeks when the feed of eggs
and crumbs is left OF and a feed of
small wheat, cracked oats. and millet
is fed alternately. Sinai! grit and
fresh water or milk Is kept before
them at all times. After they are
weaned they are put in colony houses
scattered owe a fye.acre patch. Each
house has bins Of beef scraps, ground
bone. and a mixture Of grains, includ.
ing hulled oats, cracked corn. barley.
wheat and rye when possible to OBJ
tain all Of them. These bins the
chicks have access TO at all times.
Just before roosting time they are
fed a mash containing oats 80 parts.
barley 25 parts, rye Is parts, corn IL
parts. wheat 10 parts, oil meal 8
parts, all ground together and mois-
tened with water or skinned milk.
II the chicks are kept free from lice
they grow very rapidly when fed in
this way, and the feeding Is done with
the least possible labor.

Dairyirq in Mexico.

Mr.. Lespinasse, the United States
consul at Tuxpan, Mexico, in a report
to the government, says: The old
methods Of milking, churning, and
general manipulation Of milk products
are still in existence here, thereby
rendering it impossible to produce
COED butter. Cows are allowed to
roam over the grazing lands and are
rarely sheltered or given the least
care. The milking process is per.
formed In the most unskilled manner
conceivable. The cow is tied by the
head, and the operator proceeds TO
milk the animal in his rough and un.
Systematic name until he finally
forces a quart or two Of inferior milk
from the cows udder. The milk Is
placed in untidy wooden vessels and
transferred to some shed or clubhouse,
where II is allowed to remain unpro-
tected over night. The following
morning the cream is skinned and
either beaten with "A forked stick or
violently agitated in a bottle until the
butter granules are formed. 1t Is

eter. They find a quick sale in this
market. Such a thing as the most
simple, modern dairy appliance is un.

A CoNapsit,e Stretcher.

II has been said that Japan went to
war with China simply To secure the
discipline and training necessary for
the impending conflict with Russia,
which is but another example OF a
nation profiting by the motto, though
admittedly peculiar In the manner in
which IL was carried out. But nations
are not alone In needing this admOni-
ten. The inventor has taken II upon
himself at all times to strive for the
Improvement and advancement OF all
that goes to make war terrible, from
the ship-butning mirror Of Archime-
des to the rapid.fre gun of the modern
inventor. But IL wal has been made
more horrible, the hospital equipment
has in a measure kept pace with il
from the humane point Of view, nm
Ill the sick or wounded men can now
be properly cared for until claimed by
the grim reaper or restored 10 health,
with the chances more in favor Of the
latter outcome than they were even a
few years ago.
In the matter OF stretchers for carry
ing the wounded from the field of bat.
tie the hospital corps may be inter.
ested in the idea Of a Swiss inventor.
II consists principally Of a set OF lazy
tongs, with a canvas cloth extending
from head TO foot when the stretcher
is extended. The handles by which
the carrier is lifted are attached to
the lower section NJ the folding
frame, serving to fold the stretcher
when they are turned down against
the legs and 10 extend IL when in pO-
sitiOn TO carry a wounded soldier of

Green Maturing Crops.

There are many soils that are not
benefited by green manuriDg crops.
Such soils are those already rich in
nitrogen and In humus. An investiga.
ton by the University Of Illinois has
shown that on many Of the soils In
Illinois an addition Of humus and OF
nitrogen would be a positive detri-
ment. This leads to the remark that
we must have a reason for every farm
operation. The green manure crop
Is needed on the soil that is deficient
in humus and nitrogen, but is labor
lost on many other soils. II Is obvious
that we cannot lay down rules that
can be followed blindly on all farms.
The green manuring crop is valuable
where It Is needed, but worthless or
worse, where It is not needed. The
intelligence Of every farmer must de.
termine the necessity for each opera
ton on the farm.

Fowls for the Farmer.

Most farmers are not fanciers and
do not breed fowls to sell for breed.
ers TO others. Only now and then do
we find a farmer that cares I handle
a fancy br ed because OF the plum
age, or OF the ornament they may be
70 his lawn Most farmers want the
most useful fowl that can be found.
The farmer in breeding should keep
this point in mind and should not per-
nit himself to be persuaded TO take
up with some high.priced breed OF
chiefly fancy points. II a farmer
wants a fowl that he ca1 show and
take a prize on let him remember that
he can do 1t just as well with com.
mon breeds. provided they are pure,
as with some fancy breed of high
color. But leaving out the question
Of shows, the farmer should breed for
some utility point alone. Say 1t Is
& production. Let him lose sight
Of all showing and work to produce
& layers. Let him select continual.
ly the best layers for producers. Ac.
cording to the testimony OF showmen
he will have TO say goodbye to his
hope for prizes. A noted exhibitor of
birds declares that egg laying gets a
bird SO out Of shape that she stands
no chance whatever in a show. Yet
these are the kind of birds the farmer
wants. The most profitable egg pro-
ducing focks in the country have
been selected in this way and they
are not p~urchasable, as their owners
can make more out OF them In egg
producing than in selling them for
breeders. With all such iocks the
question Of selection is a large one.
Culling must be carried on from year
TO year, and that too reienticssly.

Cement answe well for making
ordinary fence posts, but where there,

iron rods into each post: this would
add greatly to their strength. The

require to be composed Of one part
cement to FIVE parts OF gravel. which
would require a barrel Of cement for
20 cubic feet of posts, so that each
post would require nearly half a bar
