To Make Chocolate.

To obtain the full flavor of choco-
late 1t should be boiled in water, new
er in milk; and after the milk is added
1t should only reach the boiling point
One ounce of chocolate to two of wat
er is the right proportion. Cut the
chocolate in small pieces, add the boil
ing water and cook until reduced
about half. 1t will seem too thick, but
do not add more water. The milk
should be heated, another essential
point, and the sugar may be dissolved
IN it No accurate rule for the guam
tlty OF sugar can be given, as there
is great diversity of taste in this re-
spect,. Loaf sugar may be added to
each cup as desired. The quantity of
milk must not exceed two cups, but a
spoonful of whipped cream may be
added to each cup. This makes very
rich beverage. A palmer one is made
by boiling four tablespoonfuls of choc-
olate in pint of water ten minutes,
and then adding a pint of hot milk.

Health of the Fowls.


The first thing to look out for in this
care of poultry is the health of the
birds, whether they are kept at home
or are sent away to shows. Health is
the first requisite of successful poul
try culture. Those that fail to make
profits out of their birds generally
are those that are unable to keep them
healthy
The health of the fowls cannot be
Kept up by feeding cayenne pepper
and other like things. Many do this
in lieu of good care and good feed.
Cayenne pepper is a cure-all in the
minds of some people we know. but
In reality it is of little value except to
stimulate the digestive organs of
sick bird. Healthy birds do not need
a stimulant more than a human being
needs a stimulant
Absolute cleanliness is the first
requisite for health and next comes
freedom from lice and mites. The
health of the fowls should be further
protected by not introducing into the
flock birds that are not known to be
absolutely healthy. 1t would be well
Tor every poultry raiser to have
building separate from others in which
to keep for some weeks new birds pur
chased.

well as pastel blues and rose pinks

Soft Feeds.

Soft feed is bone of contention be-
tween the raisers of poultry. Some of
the poultry journals take the position
that soft feed is always harmful,
while others are just as sure that it
is a good thing if fed once day and
no oftener. The belief of the writer
Is that the soft feed is a very great
help to fowls that would otherwise
nave whole grain all the time, whlie
1T is less necessary to those birds
that have green stuff, with chopped
roots and large quantities of table
scraps in winter.
The object of the soft feed is to
lessen the tax on the digestive organs,
where the birds would otherwise have
to digest whole grain. In a state Of
nature birds do not have to fill u2 on
grain entirely The birds CT tho air
do indeed eat great deal of such
grain as rice, but they are using their
wings so much that the expenditure of
muscle force is great, which is not
tie case with our domestic fowls.
Where soft feeds are fed it is better
not to use one kind of feed all the
time, but vary the ration, giving in
turn such feeds as pea meal, oat meal
chopped feed, middlings and bran.

Eggs for the Toilet.

Circassian women, noted for their
beautiful compilations, apply to their
faces half hour before their daily
bath thorough coating of white of
egg. When this has completely dried
they wash it off with tepid water and
then bathe as usual in soap and wa
ter. The egg penetrates the pores of
the skin and takes up impurities,
which are carried away when it is
washed of, leaving the skin clean and
smooth. Eggs also make the best
kind of a shampoo and hair food.
Rub well into the scalp, the more thor
ough the massage the better, and
rinse thoroughly in several waters or
the hair will be sticky.

Registered for Performance.

In the Island of Jersey a COW is not
registered because her parents were
registered, but because of her own
performance at the pail. COW must
reach certain standard before she
becomes eligible. This is very good
practice to follow inside a breed. IT
could not be safely followed outside
of a breed. as it would necessarily set
aside the principle of prepotency as it
is represented in the established
breeds Registering for performance
is very effective method of squirting
on the improving of any breed The
line breeding merely gives us more
cows of the same breed, but does not
improve the breed except to fix it's
qualities By registering for perform
ance We place value on increased
performance

Alfalfa and Corn.

Up to the last ten years alfalfa and
corn did not grow generally in the
same region, the alfalfa clinging to
the dryer regions, where corn ooes not
flourish. But during the last decade
the corn-growing area has been
pushed steadily westward by dry farm
culture and methods that pack the soil
to make the moisture there most avail
able for the corn crop. Alfalfa, on the
other hand, has been moving eastward
and nGrthward till now it has swung
away entirely, so to speak, from the
arid regions and grows both in humid
and in arid lands. Where the two
crops can be grown in the same To-
cality, there is probably no better
com mblnatiOn of feeds for cattle. The
corn is rich in fat-forming material
and the alfalfa rich in material to
make muscle. The one furnishes a
great over-balance of carbohydrate
and the other a still larger over-bal-
ance of protein. 1t is easy to COM
pound from the two a ration that is in
every sense profitable and easy to
feed.
Some farmers think they are max
ing money feeding corn and prairie
hay, but there is still more profit in
feeding corn and alfalfa. Alfalfa and
corn and clover and corn are combi-
nations that cannot be excelled for
cattle feeding and fattening, provided
they can be obtained at a reasonable
cost The fact that several CROPS of
alfalfa can be grown the same year
greatly reduces the per ton cost of
alfalfa and gives it a certain adyan-
tage over common hay
