Comforting Care Of the Feet.

The woman with tired feet is try
ing 10 succeed in life with crippled
machinery. There is very little
JOY for her either in industry or
amusement. She is, as il were,
always handicapped by her feet.
In nine cases out of ten il isn't
tight shoes. II is often the wrong
sort Of shoes, or badly made shoes,
or shoes that twist in the wearing;
but American women no longer as a
race pinch their feet. They seem 10
realize that the pretty feet must be
in harmony with the figure.
Tired feet, when not the result Of
the wrong shoe, are generally a
proof that they need some sort of
attention. not just resting, but
treatment, and fortunately the sort
OF treatment every woman can give
herself without expense for doctors
calls or remedies.
The most important treatment for
feet that ache with the day half
over, that swell and burn, is the
cold water cure. Every morning,
regularly winter and summer, cold
water, as cold as il will run from
faucet or pump, should be poured
over the feet. Don't stand in il,
bu. dash the cold water over one foot
al time for a couple of minutes,
and then rub dry vigorously with a
rough towel.
This will leave the feet in a glow
in the coolest days, and is the best
remedy in the world for poor circu-
lation. II will relieve chronic
swelling, and is an admirable pre-.
tentative for corns and bunions.
Every evening before going 10
bed, they should be bathed in very
warm borax- water-a pint of borax
10 a quart of water-and allowed 10
rsst in il for say FIVE minutes, then
cold water dashed over them, and
dried with the hardest rubbing.
The best shoe for woman who
stands much is full, long, loose over
the joint and snug fitting up in the
instep; this enables foot to spread
out to do its work, and at the same
time prevents a shoe from slipping
forward and rubbing on the heel.
High heels are criminal for the
busy woman, and disadvantage to
the grace and health of any woman.
Fortunately they are only fashionable
ON dress slippers so that they can
only injure few women a part OF
the time, instead of most of the

Winter Birds and the Good They Do.

The easiest way for the farmer, or
for anyone else for that matter, to
find out in a general way which OF
the birds are beneficial and which
are harmful TO us is TO write to the
Secretary Of Agriculture for free
pamphlets ON this subject. These
publications contain the results of
careful experiments made by the
Government, at great expense and
without prejudice for or against the
birds, directly for the benefit of the
farmer, and indirectly for the benefit
OF the entire country.
The best way for him to get the
same information is TO go out on his
farm and into the country surround
ing il, and watch the birds at their
work, not Just when they happen to
be in the cherry tree or the poultry
yard, but all through the year. He
may not have time to do this during
warm weather, but even in Winter
he can get some slight idea of the
value of the wild birds by carefully
watching those which are on his
premises at this season. Let him go
into his orchard and see for himself
what some of the birds are doing for
his fruit trees.
Probably one of the first he will
see will be woodpecker of some
kind, and in that case he is sure to
see a very useful bird. OF the forty
odd species and subspecies of wood
peckers in this country, only one is
sometimes destructive TO the trees.
This is the. yellow -bellied sapsucker,
but as he does not usually winter
north of Virginia il is not likely that
he will be seen here.
Perhaps the next bird to appear
may be a nuthatch, bird much
smaller even than the downy wood
pecker aud quite different in appear
ance and manners. 1t may be a
white breasted or a red breasted nut
hatch, but in either case he will be
seen to be a very important little
parsonage; not a harder worker than
the woodpecker perhaps, but with a
greater appearance of hustle.
Or, our farmer may see band OF

q Game For Girls And Boys To Play.
Tear a piece of paper into as many
pieces as there are players, and on
each piece write some number re-
presenting an hour in the day As
there are only twelve hours, there
can only be twelve numbers, but il
more than twelve are playing, you
can make some OF the figures half
hours until there are the required
number.
On one piece mark a cross, and
then shake all the numbers in a hat,
each player drawing one out. The
one who gets the slip with the cross
on it is at" or wolf" while the
other players are called the sheep"
A ring is then formed by the
sheep. the wolf standing in the
middle. The sheep then call out,
"What time will you dine to- night,
old wolff" and Mr.. Wolf calls out
any hour he happens TO think of.
The sheep who holds the slip cores
ponding TO the number called by the
wolf, starts to run. IL he can get
around the ring three times before
being caught by the wolf, he is safe;

The game keeps up until all have

Market gardeners are familiar with
all of the plans which will enable them
to get crops on the market early. Near
some of the large cities these men
grow nothing but the early varieties of
all classes, doing nothing with the mid
season and late sorts. Their plan of
raising early peas is to prepare the
ground in the fall just as thoroughly
as they would in the spring, and just
before the ground freezes hard they

drilling them in not over two inches
deep. Mulch is then put over them for
the winter and as soon as the ground
can be worked in the spring, cultiva-
ton begins, as if the seeds were spring
sown. The result is generally very
early crop that brings the highest mar
ket price. The plan is worth trial
by any one located near good mar

Some Incubator Hints.

Do not turn the eggs for three days
from beginning the hatch, nor after
the nineteenth day.
Leave chicks in the incubator from
twenty four to thirty-six hours after
they are Matched; they do not need
feeding for at least thirty-six hours
after they come from the she'll Ma
ture has provided for their sustenance
during this time.
Keep the temperature as near 1O3
degrees as possible, but do not worry
If it runs up to 1O5 degrees, or as low
as 80 for short time. Watch the
size Of the lamp flame, and keep it as
nearly the size that will produce the
proper temperature as possible.
Do not open the egg chamber after
the chickens begin to pip the shell,
even If some chick seems to be having
a hard time to get out. A chick that
cannot get out Of the shell without
help is not worth saving If the chicks
gasp and struggle, do not bother them
1T Is good for them.

Sheep Shearinys,

The way to keep ideal sheep is by
trying to improve them.
Sheep are always improving or they
are deteriorating.
Stationary troughs and racks are not
desirable in the sheep stable.
Ewes will produce larger and better
lambs if in plump condition at time of
mating.
At weaving, if possible, the ewes
should be placed in a field out of hear
ing of the lambs.
An uneven lot of good sheep are bet
ter than an uneven lot Of poor ones.
1t is well to place the ewes on short
pasture for a week or more after the
lambs are weaned.
In fattening sheep especially, pune,
tuality in feeding should be strictly
observed.
In many cases, after the corn is laid
by. the sheep may be turned into the
cornfield to good advantage.
Sheep are easily managed, are first
class fertilizing machines, good farm
scavengers and yield two harvests an
nually.

Kill OFF the Cabbage Lice.

Cabbage aphis is one of our worst
cabbage pests. The lice multiply very
rapidly when conditions favor them
and are source of great loss and
annoyance. They may be killed only
by insecticides that smother, or kill by
contact; ordinary poisons have no eff
feet on plant lice. Kerosene emulsion
diluted with 10 parts of water, applied
thoroughly to the lower side of the
leaves when cabbage plants are small,
is effective in measure. Fumigating
seed stocks in spring with carbon BIZ
sulphide gets rid of the original brood.
The pest is nasty and should be treat
ed wherever found.-Farm and Home.
