HANDLING CHICKS.
Hints on Matching, Rearing and
Feeding the Youngsters.


In mating your breeders you must

Reliable Poultry Journal. Then make
a careful selection of the eggs for in.
cubatlon, not using too small too large
or Ill shaped eggs.
When the eggs begin Matching do not
bother them for from thlrty-six to for
T-eight hours, during which time your
hands will be better away from the
eggs than among them unless you take
the empty shells quickly from the nest
or Incubator DO not pick at or assist
any chick to get out Of its shell, for
such chicks will seldom live, and II
they do they will be OF little good.

reason the chick had not made progress
in breaking the shell. Sometimes the
membrane was too dry or the shell too
thick or hard. The chick had been try

material increase in the profits when
standard breds are hatched.-Editor.l
II the chicks are being Matched by

your broOder nicely cleaned and warm

This will be the chicks first meal, 30

Keep before the chicks at all times
plenty of sharp chick grit, also granu.

finely cut onions and fresh bits Of beef
occasionally. not giving too much or
too Often-every other day is sufficient.
Give every other day a shallow pan Of
sweet SKINNED milk. This they will
greatly enjoy, and do not overlook some
nice green grass to run among and
pick at after the dew is well off.

THE CURL in
THE PIGS TAIL

An old man while looking over NY
herd Of Berkshire swine not long AGO
remarked to me: There are some hogs
which | prefer to the Berkshrea but
there Is one feature about your Berk-
shlres that l always like very much,
you always have the curl in their tails.
And, after NIL, there is not so much in
the breed of hogs in profitable pork
production as there Is In the good feed
ing and care that show thrift by the
curl in the tail.
ION one occasion few years ago l
wanted to buy some pigs, and the man
who was then farming one OF your
places asked me to come and see some
he had for sale. When came to look
at the pigs the man apologized for
their bad condition by telling me they
were bewitched and that he had been
thinking about going to consult Q witch
doctor about them. The pigs were
NANCY, thin and bore all the ear
marks of unthrift. Their tails hung
down straight and sorrowful looking.
OF course knew there was no use in
arguing with a man who believed in
witches and things Of that kind, but /
could fully agree with him that there
was something the matter with his
pigs and advised him to widen their
ration of nubbins and dishwater, to
take In all they would eat Of skim milk,
cornmenl and wheat middlings. told
him had never fed anything so effec-
tive as that combination in bringing
back the curl to pigs tails and that !
believed the trouble with his pigs was
that their tails had lost their curl"
l feed my swine considerable corn,
probably more than the professors
would approve Of as scientific feeding,
To my mind that feeding is most sci
entific that produces the best results
from a minimum cost that keeps up
the curl in the tail and shows n good
profit. A careful, watchful feeder can
use great deal of corn in his swine
feeding without by any means produc-
Ing an undesirable amount Of fat.
Corn does not all run to fat. 1t con
tributes to the making of lean meat,
blood, bone and the repair Of tissue. 1t
Is not all clear carbohydrate. 1t has
protein also, and one of its greatest
recommendations Is that no feed that
we can use carries its nutrients In a
form so dgestible as those in corn, and
no feed is more palatahle.-W. f. Nc
Spartan in Farm and FireSde.

skim MIX Calf unattrnctlve.

Calves brought up on skim milk are
most unattractive from six TO twelve
months Of age. The Idaho experiment
station reports: They develop n stom-
ach out Of proportion TO the rest Of
their body, and their coat Is not quite
as smooth as 1t Is when calves run
with their dams. However, the calves
have learned how to eat and digest
coarse feed in larger quantities than
calves reared on whole milk. The d.
gestive organs are better developed for
practical feeding from this period on to
maturity than In calves fed whole milk.

NATURE SPARES

The Stricken Rose From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
II is, that deprives the rose OF mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover in the height OF its
blooming glory, that n canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a verltable
store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
g'ne by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives Of thousands

and in them sentiment still lives and
comes continually to bloom and fruit.
In Owen Wister's charming south
ern story, Lady Baltimore, there
is an atmosphere of tender sentiment
in complete contrast to the yulgarity.
noise and display of time when di-
vorce is not singular, when marriage
is a matter of bargaining, and privacy
has flown from the domestic hearth.
1t is needful only to read in the
same month Edith Wharton's terrible
arraignment Of portion of modern
society in 1.-THE House of Mirth," anc
Mr.. Wister's exquisite and wonderful
ly artistic story of Kings Port" to
see what has been wrought for us in
the way of mischief by the decay of
sentiment. Look on this picture and
then on that Having done so, take
lantern and search for the dear
souls in whom sentiment still abides,
and sit down beside them and let
them give you lessons IN sympathy,
in ehivalry, in womanly reticence, in
manly devotion and in all that makes
life really worth living Not until
you do this and until you absorb the
sweetness of their spirit can you hope
to understand what the poets mean
when they sing of love. In the ex-
quisite entertainments of fairy-lore and
of the old mythologies you find love
and life forever hand in hand
There is a practical style Of think
ing and of acting that deals death
blow to sentiment, but fortunately
with most of us, there is yet the
capability of being awakened to ro-
nance and charmed with it's potency,
if only we will let go our clutch at
the things that perish and reach out
a hand for the things that are eter
nal. Love of home, love Of little
children, joy, hope, mirth, belief in
good men and good women, are the
altar of rose we call sentiment. Shall
we let the old people have the monop-
oily of these?

Never get careless about your
work and imagine that you are in
dispensable.
No one is indispensable, so you
can't afford to do anything but your
best
Never be afraid of doing little
bit more than you are actually called
upon to do.
Be cheerful over your work If
you have to earn your living you
might just as we'll be happy as
grumpy" over it.
Put your whole heart and soul into
doing your work we'll, and treat all
with whom you come to contact cour-
teously.
During business hours attend strict
ly to the work you have in hand
Never talk to outsiders about what
goes on in the office. You are in
honor bound to look on your en-
ployer's business as something to be
kept absolutely secret by you.

Linqerie Shoe Is the Latest.

Pastel tinted footwear is the latest
word from the summer girl. Not con-
tent with having the rest of her ward
robe washable, she has started out
to supply herself with wash shoes.
That is, they are made of wash mate
rial. although they cannot, of course,
be washed. Pumps are now being
shown at the exclusive shops made of
heavy madras, plain white, figured
white material, white having black
pin stripes, and white with pin stripes
in the palest of pastel, lavender, blue
and pink.
To match these delicacies of the toll
let. are to be had white figured and
lace trimmed stockings. These are
not of silk, as that would not be suit
able with the wash shoes, but OF
Isle thread They are very delicate
" embroidered in the faintest pastel
shades, to match the color of the gown
to be worn. Many, OF course, are not
embroidered in colors-

NeedIeWork Notes.

Embroidered buttons are so pretty
and so fashionable that many women
are embroidering their own little cir
Giles of silk, which are afterward used
to cover buttons with.
An important thing to remember in
cutting out a waist or blouse is that
all portions that are likely to stretch,
sleeves, yoke and collar, should be
cut on lengthwise folds of the mate
rial.
In making very narrow tucks by
hand a good way to insure their being
even is to draw threads to mark the
line of the stitching. This will not
injure the goods and the tucks will
be much more even than if they were
merely creased.
In shirring a girdle or ruff1es it is
much easier to do it on the sewing
machine. Make the tension of the
upper thread quite loose, then stitch
where you want it gathered, then pull
the lower thread and it will gather
satisfactorily The ends of the
thread, of course, must be securely
fastened or they will pull through.
Whether it is necessary to dampen
or not, all cotton goods should be
pressed on the wrong side. Place a
damp cloth over the part to be pressed
and pass the iron over it until the
steam rises. Remove the cloth and
press the material until it is perfectly
dry. Skirts will sag less if they are
,,rocCod on table Ta thpr than on a
skirt board.

AUNT MAReARET,s LOVERS

When l was young and full of glee I'd
lovers, Bess, like you;
My tresses were as fair to see, my
eyes were just as blue.
I'd prink and curl my sunny locks,
bright ribbons l would tie,
And trip about in pretty frocks to win
a laddy's eye.
Oh many one 1 robbed of rest
Who watched my dimples play;
But ali, the lad loved the best
l often frowned away!
When summer bloomed, when winter
showed, we had our frolics, too;
About the countryside l rode to
dances-just like you,
A sleighride, or a candypull, some
times a quilting bee
The flying weeks were always full,
not one was dull to me.
And oh, I ever thought it fun
'Tis always so, they say
To fiout my truest beau-the one
Who would not bide away
Who were my beaux? Good gracious,
girl, how can you e'er expect
To learn 1t sets my brain a-whir,
to try to recollect.
They lived, some up at Rocky Fall,
and some at Jackson. Mills,
And I can ne'er remember all that
tho hills
Whene'er we made the hay
And one there was, with eyes of
brown
Who would not bide away.
One hateful daddy, too, 1 knew
loathed him in my sight;
And yet, to grieve a sweetheart true,
l danced with him all night.
Now why it is that girls will act that
way l do not know!
only know it is a fact-and always
works them woe.
Next morn I wept and wept, alack!
But it was like the May
When evening came and brought him
back
Who would not bide away.
That finished all my. folly, Bess, for
as he wiped my tears,
And told his love, l whispered: Yes
and SO the ending nears.
1t was not long ere we were wed in
that dear long ago;
But time has fed, and he is dead
and all l used to know.
And though perchance it may not be,
Oft at the close of day
seem to see your uncle. He
He could not bide away.
