Hav for Poultry.

The suggestion that hay makes q
good winter food for poultry would
have been ridiculed few years ago.
but experiments have proved that
clover hay is now almost necessary

Glover hay for fowls should be cut
very fine, not over half an inch in
length, steamed and scalded and fed
once a day. A small quantity of corn
meal and bran sprinkled over the cut
hay will improve it. One reason clover
Is such an excellent food for hens is
that 1t is rich in lime, a substance the
hens require in providing the shells
for eggs. It is about equal to corn
as flesh producer and contains near
ty 30 times as much lime. 1t is plenti-
full on all farms and requires but little
time in preparation. After the green
food is gone it will keep the hens in
laying condition and increase the pro-
duction of eggs.

Japan,s Empress Popular.

It is doubtful If any royal consort IS
more loved by her people than is the
empress of Japan. Educated accord
ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all
the accomplishments BETTING one of
her social eminence, her majesty
strongly favors the broadness of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages.
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been of deep in
terest to medical and scientific men,
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under peculiar men
tai influence All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for che simple reason
of their effect on the recovery of the
soldiers.

Our Domestic Turkey.

While there are differences of opin.
ion regarding the origin Of our domes-
tic turkey, 1t is currently believed that
it came directly from the wild turkey
of the United States and Canada. One
writer expresses the opinion that the
original variety imported into Eng
land in 1920 came from variety that
formerly existed in the West Indies
and was afterwards exterminated by
the natives. This is guesswork. There
is apparently no good reason for go
ing out of the way to hunt for any
other origin than that currently ac-
cepted. What is known as the domes-
tic turkey crosses freely with the wild
variety, thus establishing close rela-
tionship as having existed in the past.

seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully Sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days 1t
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liarto the female sex, and LYDIA E. Pink

that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with

labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop

of income had to be found.
