Practical Notes.

Impure air in the poultry house is
the cause of the most trouble among
the fowls that are quartered in 1t. A
fowl has to have the purest air that is
obtainable if it would do we'll and the
house that is shut up too tight during
any season of the year always will have
poor specimens of poultry In 1t. When
YOU 90 into the house in the morning in
the winter and the odor is disagreeable
to YOU then ia the time to get to work to
purify things a little. 1t is a possible
thing to have the house so warm that
there will be good supply of eggs at
all times during the winter, but 1t is
also easy to overstep the bounds of COM
mon sense and have things SO adjusted
that the profit will be curtailed. .
We note that it is common fault
with those who have just taken ur the
work to try and get their houses 80
warm in winter that they will be sure
to have all the eggs that they want. At
least this is the way that they put 1t.
Winter poultry houses are good for the
fowls if they are cold, for this Is what
the hens feathers are for, and II she
cannot use them you are that much at
a loss in the cost of the new house that
you are making for them. During the
day it is best for the hens to have all the
cold fresh air that they can get If they
are protected from the wind, and If at
night they have warm, we'll ventilated
sleeping quarters they will do we'll. By
warm, we do not mean heat, but de-
gree Of warmth that will prevent their
combs from freezing as we'll as their
toes. Do not be afraid that the supply
of eggs will be too poor to show profit,
for II the feed Is of the kind that makes
eggs you will get them.
Oats make very good feed for the
hens if they are Of the kind that are
short and plump. Those that are toe
long and hard should not be fed as they
will cause the fowls some trouble OF
other most any time. Besides those
oats that are plump have lots of nutri'
ton in them, while the chaffy oat ha,
none at all. The hens have been known
to refuse these poor oats many times In
| INV flocks, and their knowledge of wha,
| is good and bad seems to be that which
makes them do it.-Turf, Farm Nnt

- most heart with love and
ssssY gratitude toward God. as
had always been since | had seen his
handiwork in Mary Cavendish. which
was my especial lesson Of his grace to
meward, with sweetest rhymes of JOY
for all my pains and reasons for all my
doubts; and though she sat beside me,
so near that the rich spread Of her
gown was over my knee and the shin
ing of her beauty warm on my face,
yet was | weary of the service and
eager to be out.
AS l said before. ParsOn Downs was
not to my mind. neither he nor his dis
course. Still he spoke with mighty
energy and conviction of the truth OF
his own words which would have mOv-
ed his hearers to better purpose had
they moved himself as regarded his
daily life. But beyond great effer-
vescence of the spirit, which produced
a high mounting froth Of piety like the
seething top of an ale tankard. there
came naught of it. Still was there In
him some good, or, rather, some lack
of i'll; for he was no hypocrite, but
preached openly against his own vices,
then went forth to furnish new texts
for his sermon, not caring who might
see and judge him. A hearty man he
was, who would lend his last shilling
or borrow his neighbOr's with equal
readiness, forcing one to certain an
cry liking for him because Of his good
will to do that for you which you were
10th to do for him.
Yet If there ever was man in har-
ness to Satan as to the lusts of his flesh
and his pride Of life it was Parson
Downs, in despite Of his bold curvets
and prances Of exhortation, which 80
counterfeited freedom that l doubt not
that they deceived even himself; and
he felt not the while he was expanding
his great front over his pulpit and wav-
ing his hands, on one Of which shone a
precious red stone, the strain Of his
own leash. But l have ever had a
scOrn which l could not cry down for
any man who was slave except by
his own will.
Feeling thus, / was glad when Par
son Downs was done and letting him
self down with stately jolts of ponder
osity from his pulpit, and the folk were
moving out of the church in soft
press of decorously yelled eagerness,
with a great rustling Of silks and satin
and jingling Of spurs and swords and
waving of plumes and shaking out OF
stronger odOrs Of flowers and essences
and spices.
And gladder still l was when astride
my horse in the open, with the sweet
broadside of the spring wind in my
face and all the white Towering trees
and bushes bowling and singing with a
thousand bird voices, like another con-
gregation before the Lord. l had not
the honor to assist Mistress Mary to
her saddle. Sir Humphrey Hyde and
Ralph Drake, who was a farof cousin
of hers, and my Lord Estes. who was

er, the governor Of Virginia, and half
a score of others pressed before me,
who was but the tutor and had no right
to do her such service except for lack
of another ut hand.
