PLANNING A COW BARN.

The Truth About Animals.

The serious student CT nature can
have no interest in belittling or in ex-
aggerating the intelligence of animals.
What he wants is the truth about
them, and this he will not get from
our natural history romancers, nor
from the casual, unframed observers
who are sure to interpret the lives Of
the wood folk in terms of their own
motives and experiences, nor from In
dams. trappers or backwoodsmen, who
give such free rein to their fancies
and superstitions. Not to Romanes or
Jesse or Michelet must we go for the
truth about animals, but to the pa
tent, honest Darwin, to such calm.
keen and philosophical investigators as
Lloyd Morgan, and to the book of such
sportsmen as Charles st. John, or to
our own candid, intelligent and wide
awake Theodore Roosevelt-men capa-
BILE of disinterested observation, with
no theories about animals to uphold

THE USE OF GLYCERINE.

A leading specialist, and authority
on matters pertaining to the skin, says
of glycerine: Glycerine is really very
harmful to the skin; it evaporates
the water in the pores rapidly, partic-
ularly, will result in breaks of the
skin, or chaps and roughness. This
may be a surprise to many, for it is
fond belief that for chapped hands
and lips it is an excellent remedy and
preventive. Mixed with other ingre-
dents so that chemical change oc-
ours in it, it may not be harmful, but
gylcerine, in pure state, should new
er be applied to the skin, or its health
and appearance will suffer, and cracks
and chaps will only be aggravated.

Poems of Mexico.

The typical peon, Indifferent TO
change and progress, is affectionate
and faithful in all family relations and
sets an example in domestic life which
might be copied with advantage by
many Americans, says the Southern
Workman. Old age is respected and
cared for and a Mexican beggar is a
rarity.
The artistic tendencies existent in
his mixed and ancient ancestry are by
no means extinct in the peon Of to-
day, and especially is this true Of the
Mexican women, who display, in their
love for flowers and music and the
beautiful generally, tastes which are
none too universal among white peo-
pie in this western country. AS a
worker, also, the Mexican woman is
Infinitely more industrious and faithful
than the man. She Is good mother,
generally speaking, although her chill
dren, as a rule. betray a singular lack
Of grit.
The boys seem worse than the girls
In this respect. A tap on the shoulder
from the mother will cause an S-year-
old boy to yell for ten r-'1utes, I'M
ashamed and uncorrected. Boys at
play together burst into walls concern
Ing injuries, mental or physical, minute
to invisibility. At the same time, how
ever, it must be conceded that the
fiendish whoops in which the Amer
lean boy voices his reasonless ecstasy
are conspicuous by their absence. New
ertheless, when the Mexican is grown
and has imbibed to excess of new
wine, he will make up for more
subdued past by sounds as hideous and
maniacal as any American youngster
can present to shuddering audience.

SELECTING WINTER LAYERS.

w In LA LAeN@-
The pullets Matched in the early
spring will be the layers of the win
ter. and these birds have now reach
ed a size when the selection should
be made. The wise poultryman has
watched his pullets from the time he
could distinguish the sex, so is in
position to know which ones have
made the desired growth. Look the
birds over carefully. noting the strong
points of each and bearing in mind
that the ones that are strong and
hardy are the ones to be retained for
winter laying. 1t is doubly necessary
that the selection be made on the line
indicated, for, in all probability, the
eggs lain by these pullets in the win
ter will be used for early spring
Matching, and If the parent stock is
iot hardy what can be expected on the
progeny? Any of the pullets that are
weak, not sick, but simply not strong
and robust, should be pumped up
with good grain and turned on to the
carcass market at an opportune time.
It will be far from profitable to save
such birds for winter laying; they
will only eat up the profits made by
the layers.

Have ready some half and quarter

Then fill them with the lemon juice,

wind some cotton round skewer and
it will absorb the oil. The juice will
