Many farmers make the mistake of
keeping too many fowls over the win
ter. Don's keep more than you can
house properly and comfortably, or
more than you have time to look after
we'll. Winter board of fowls is expen-
sive and it takes eggs to pay for it.

Wonderful Builders.

A personal inspection of the pyra mids made by an English quarry own- CT led him to the conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He found blocks of stone in the pyramids weighing three or four times as much as the obelisks on the banks of the Nile. He saw a stone the estimated weight of which was 800 tons. Many of the stones were found to be thirty feet in length and fitted so closely to- gether that the blade of penknife could be run over the surface without discovering the break between them There is no machinery, he claims, SC perfect that 1t will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will meet together in unison as the stones in the pyramids meet.

Saving a Cab Fare.

Here's pretty tale of domestic economy from an English paper. He had been brought up in the lap of luxury and extravaganza, and when bad times came and he had to go down to the city and look carefully after his shillings it was his pretty and tender little wife who helped him and encour- aged him by example in small savings. One fence he never would face. He baked at taking bus. Ut might pass the club, you know, dear. and the fellows at the windows" One evening, however, he returned ra- diant to dinner. Tender!y embracing his life's partner, he murmured: i've done it, darling! All the way for three pencew Love and gratitude were in her eyes as she said: My brave boy! Did you mind it very much?" With af- fectionate cheeriness he made answer: "No, dear! Got box seat; real good old sort, the driver. Told me lots of stories and was quite chatty. Capital chap! Gave him big cigar and half a crown for himself when got down."

Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be found in the Philippine Islands are the so called "plant stones" encounter ed now and again in certain vegetable growths. The bamboo, for instance according to Kultur und Natur, con- tains stone very similar to the opal, but on account of the rarity with which it is found it is much more costly than the opal. In many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beau tiful greensh pink scintillating stone has been formed from the minute parti cles of siliceous deposit that imparts its intense hardness to the outer cov- ering of the cane. The bamboo cane stone is known as tabashlrs. In the interior of some cocoanuts stonelike secretion is found that is not inferior in brilliancy to the most beautiful gen uine pearl.

How Frost Affects Plants.

Plants do not freeze to death in win ter, but perish from thirst. The proc ess is simple. The cold causes the withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant, forming ice crystals out side of the cells. The frost, cooling and contracting the surface, acts as a sort of pump, and as soon as the cell Is emptied of It's life giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has been proved by numerous careful experiments. Great variation was found in the amount of cold necessary to cause the death of vegetation. Some plants dry out quickly and are killed before the freezing point Is reached. Many plants will survive zero weather, and some die only at 20 degrees be- low. Certain vegetable growths never freeze There are forms of bacteria that even when immersed in liquid air, the intensest cold available, come out of their bitter bath as chipper and live ly as eyer.-Chicago Tribune.

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because OF the
heat and prickly sensation, 1t is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left of.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. It
shows in one way in one person and in
another way In another. In this case
the lady lived in s. Dak.. She says:
II have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and Jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that must keep on the move.
when 1t was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused SO many ner.
vous diseases, concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see II my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.

breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit II
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now have no more
