For freckIes.

Here is remedy for frecGles which
has been satisfactory, but it is i'm
possible to predict how soon the cure
will be effected: Thirty grains of pull
verized borax, dissolved in two and
one-half ounces of lemon juice. This
makes lotion that is very effective
in keeping freckles in allegiance where
it agrees with the skin. It should be
applied at night, after the face has
been thoroughly washed and rinsed.

Fresh EGGS for h.,ehIne.

Among our best poultry men II is
the opinion that eggs should be set for
hatching as soon as possible after be-
ing laid. The fresher the eggs the
surer the hatch" is doubtless a cor.
rect opinion. This shows where the
man at distance with eggs to sell is
at disadvantage compared with the
nearby fanciar. II is known that the
egg begins to evaporate its moisture
as soon as laid. There is a glutinous
substance that keeps In the evapora-
tion for while. but this soon disap-
pears. and the older the egg the easier
the moisture escapes from II. II Is
altogether probable that the vitality
OF the chick depends to a very large
extent on the moisture content OF the
egg when Matching begins. We know
II is the custom OF the hen in her
native state to lay whole clutch Of
eggs before she begins to sit. Some
OF the eggs must be three weeks old
before incubation begins. but this does
not prove that natures way is the
best. In the wild state OF the fowl
many of these eggs are lost. destroyed
or are stolen by wild animals and
birds. Man has to exercise n super.
vision over domesticated animals II he
is to get the best results from them.

Scales on Leg. Of Fowls.

The scales on the fowls legs
should be always smooth and glossy,
and should be folded compactly one
over the other AS long as this con.
dition exists the hens legs are
healthy. As soon. however. as the
scales begin 10 lift up and loosen
there is trouble brewing. A minute
parasite has got under the edge OF
the scale and Is eating its way grad
ually TO the protected recesses u,
the base Of the scale When he
reaches there he will be difficult to
dislodge. As soon ms anything OF this
kind appears. the hens legs should
be treated with warm grease. The
grease should be heated to 100 dc
ggces. II applied at that temperature
1t will reach all Of the insects ant
will destroy them. The result will
be reappcaring Of the smooth con
dition OF the fowls legs.

Green Food for Winter Poultry.

Poultry needs something green dur.
ing the winter and by providing It we
get good results from our hens in the
cold weather when anything green is
not to be had unless saved and put
away In the fall. We raise good
many late cabbages and there are
loose heads which are not worth
much, 80 we trench them for the
hens. The hens also seem TO be very
fond Of celery leaves. We nut the
leaves and outer stalks in a large
pile. The outside stalks and leaves
freeze. but those underneath stay nice
and green and are not much trouble
to get at. We find It pays we'll as our
hens have been laying continually
since moulting and we have been sun.
plying our neighbors with eggs at AZ
and 40 cents q dozen. They have
chickens, too, but think It is too much
trouble to provide green food for them

The Weak Poin, Of HEAVY LAYERS.

At the Maine experiment station
great deal OF work has been done In
the development OF the laying quail.
ties OF fowls Of the Plymouth Rock
strain. The experiment includes 600
birds. OF these. about 200 are con-
sidercd large layers. About 80 Of
these 200 have a record of over 200
eggs n year. Close observation In re.
cording has showa the manager that
the birds that lay heavily one year
will not begin to lay eggs early the
following fall and winter Having laid
a very large number of eggs during
the first winter and spring OF their
existence. they seem to require all the
late summer. fall and early winter in
which to recuperate. OF course in the
development of large layers It is de.
sirable to have them begin laying
about the first of November. How this
matter is to be controlled is not very
apparent. II is another one of the
many problems that remain yet to be
worked out.

Hampshire down sheep have been
forging steadily and rapidly to the
front for number Of years and to-day
seem to be at the height Of their popu-
larity. As they are pre-eminentIy a
mutton sheep probably wool prices
would affect them less than many
other breeds. As to the direction OF
the trade Of Hampshire Down sheep, It
extends most decidedly to the big

though many new nocks are being es-
tablished in the east, south, Canadian
provinces and the extreme northwest.

Feed Of the Colt.

The feed of the colt should be lib
eral. that he may be kept growing
from the first. In the wintertime the
colt is sometimes neglected. Just as
he is in midsummer. A period of
stunting Will result in reducing the
size OF the future horse. When poor
iced and poor care are combined,
the result Is about certain to be dis
astrous. AS soon as the colt is old
enough to eat grain and hay, he
should be given little grain with his
hay every day. This grain. too. should
be something other than corn. which
is unsuited to the development of the
growing animal.

the tripod can be taken anywhere II
is wanted. In this connection the
chopping block used in splitting wood
might be mentioned. Much labor
may be saved by providing sound

on perfectly solid foundation than
when yielding one is used. Either
select stump OF tree as described

knotty length cut from q log. making
