Cairo, New and Old.

While modern Cairo is beautiful,
and the Old portion very interesting,
shall always remember the town
particularly because Of the crowds Of
tourists | have seen. In India, | rode
in a railroad train all of one day, and
only four tourists took their meals in
the dining car attached to the train
Everywhere in India | remarked the
absence of tourists, and the great pre-
parations that had been made to en-
terrain them; but if you visit Egypt
during the season." you will never
cease wondering that the world has
so many idle people able to CAD about.

Care Of Mculting Hens.

1t is time for the hens to be out
or the moulting period, but if there are
any tina: are still SO afflicted it is es-
sential that they should have the best
of care and plenty Of stimulating food.
They should have wheat and corn and
oil meal, and if they are given soft
feed once or twice q week that has
been literally peppered il will do
them much good. A meat ration also,
once or twice a week. Will be advant-
ageous. The drain on their vitality
is quite severe and they must have
good care to assist them in growing a
new coat Of feathers and begin laying
early in the winter again. There is no
time Of the year when good care is
more necessary than it is through the
moulylng seasOn.-Farners' Home

Pics and Clover.

Some farmers keep but few pigs and
raise only enough for home consump-
ton, but where a clover field can be
used to advantage for hogs it will pay
to keep number Of them and sell off
the surplus when the pigs weigh about
$50 pounds each. Small hogs bring
better prices and sell more readily
than very large ones. The farmer
who raises few pigs for his pork
barrel may count the cost and affirm
that pigs do not pay, but when a few
pigs are raised they will consume q
large amount Of material that would
be Of no value except for their use.
When the pork barrel is full the far
mer is at least fortified for the winter
with meat and in many places where
no pigs are kept there is a waste Of
material that could be utilized with
the aid OF at least one or two porkers.
or course, most farmers would not
think OF trying to get along without
pigs but occasionally there is one who
does not have them because he be-
lleves the cost CT raising a few is
greater than the value OF the pork.
Although that is not true in any case.
the clover patch Will solve the problem
for him in the right Observation-Disclosures!

Geese and Ducks.

Geese and ducks may be hatched at
almost any season, provided that they
are sheltered from the heat until a
week or ten days Ola, and they given a
shelter Of some kind to go under

plenty of water at least to drink. Bel

have water to swim in and keep them
selves clean and in good, healthy con-
dition. Ducks viii withstand indif-
ferent treatment much better fnan
will chickens, turkeys or geese: ducks
will prosper where geese will die. 1t
the same time, ducks will do yerv
much better if well provided for than
they will if neglected The greatest
drawback in growing ducks is the
careless water supply. The young
ducklings are peculiar feeders. They
will take mouthful Or two of food
and then run to the water fer a drink
Thus they paddle backward and for

How to Set a Hen,

move the basket and place food and

Eeedinq You1l Animals.

IN feeding all young animals. thrifty
growth is more important than to
fatten them. Many people suppose
that The only way to lessen fat is to
restrict diet until near the starvation
point. But by trial they find that II
the food given contains the rat form
ing nutrition, restricting its amount
makes what is given so much better
disested that the fattening process
goes on as before. 4 far surer ana
better way to accomplish what IS
. wished, is to give food plentfuliy,
but not OF the kind that builds up fat
and especially to give what makes
bone and muscle. 1t is for this rea-
son that wheat bran and wheat mid
diings are so valuable for feeding.
They will not fatten if fed moderately
with hay. straw and roots and they
will keep young stock growing thrift

Live Stock Notes.

Give your stable plenty of air and
light.
Keep your horses name and tail
well cleaned.
Have regular hours for feeding your
horse and give him sufficient time to
eat.
Feed your horse clean food; if your
oats are dusty, clean them and don I
feed hay full of dust or dirt.
Give your stable a thorough clean
ing occasionally. 1t will more than
repay you in way OF appearance anG
be beneficial in a sanitary way.
Always water your horse before
feeding. You can teach him to drink
then, by not offering water after feed
ing, thereby avoiding possible collie.
Keep little salt where your horse
can get it at his pleasure, not throw
ing it in his feed. How do you like
your food over-salted?
Keep your horses well groomed. as

better but keeps easier, feels better
