Brevity and Wit.

Brevity as the soul of wit is eXenl-
plified In many popular sayings. Wit
is by 10 means an inevitable ingredi-
ent in proverbs. Many of them are of
doubtful sense, and some are foolish,
yet there is certain spice. The defini-
ton of proverbs by Howell as Say
ings which combine sense, shortness
and SALT" is in the main true. Though
truth may be altogether absent and wit
barely perceptible, yet there must be a
certain salt" which gives life and
SAVIOR to the saying.
1t would be difficult to find sayings
more telling than some Of the shortest
such, for instance as "Forewarned,
forearmed," Extremes meet" or the
ancient Inter malleum ct lncudem'
between the hammer and the anviD
Many sayings which in English are
short were briefer still in their original
classical form.
That the soul Of wit was exemplified
most strikingly among the Greeks is
only what we should expect. 1t is curl
Gus to remember that our word 'lacon-
ic" preserves the memory of the repu-
tation for conciseness Of speech borne
by the people Of one part of Greece
the Laconians or Spartans. When
Philip Of Macedon threatened them, IF
l enter Laconia, will level your city
to the dust" they made the famous re.

The Gosnel OF Good Cheer.

People loved Robert Louis Steven
son not because he was an admirable
writer but because he was a cheerful
consumptive. He was n sufferer who
for many years increased the gayety
of life. Genius alone can do this on
a large scale, but everybody can do it
on n little one. Our safest guide is the
realization of hard truth,-that we
are not privileged to share our trou-
bles with other people. II we could
make up our minds to spare our
friends all details of Ill health. of mon
ey losses, of domestic annoyances, of
alterations, Of committee work, of
grievances, provocations and anxieties.

to add to the treasury Of mirth. but
there is considerable merit in not rob

Farmer Vineents Chick Talk.

Keep the dishes neat and clean that
the little chicks eat and drink out Of
You may save their lives that way.
Little chicks love milk as well as the
older ones. And how it makes them
grow! Ever try it?
1t Is poor policy to keep the little
chicks all the time on one kind Of food.
You would not like that yourself. Set
a shallow vessel near the coops and
into II pct some sour milk. See how
they will run for it and notice how
much faster they will grow too.
Take pains when feeding the little
chicks to keep the older fowls away.
They will rob the little ones IL they
possibly can. 1t is good plan to have
a hole near the top of the coop through
which one may drop the food for the
chicks. Then, IL one cannot stay to
keep the hens away, board may be
set up in front of the coop so that
they cannot get in behind it.-Philadel-

RICE FOR POULTRY.
An Exceptionally Valuable Food Which
Is Too Often Overlooked.

- tSS SihSi SNCTtOONSC'
Boiled rice is a good summer food
for growing bantams, says the Feath-
er. Wheat and oats, so profpeely rec
commended as a feed for bantA@s, con
tain too much protein and make them
grow too fast, while rice, which IS less
nutritious, as to bone and flesh form
ing elements is better for them. IN
raising Cochin bantams we have used
large amounts OF boiled rice during the
summer months. In fact. often for
days they received no other food than
this. Wheat contains more than 10
per cent of protein, rice Az per cent,
wheat 60 per cent carbohydrates. rice
72 per cent. Rice is good for bantams
good for fattening fowls if you wish
white meat, but 1t is Of but little ad-
vantage as food for large sized poul-
try, that you wish to develop quickly.
Cracked rice may be fed to a limited
extent to young chicks under three
weeks old. A little of 1t may be used
with profit for squad growing, but it
cannot be depended upon as a thor
oughly good food for poultry.

A POULTRY EXPERIENCE.
What One Woman Did With Rather
Small Flock of Hens.

That there is money in poultry, espc-
cially in the country, is shown by the
experience of Mrs. Huldah NJ. Malone,
ers' Guide:
We live on a small farm of eight
acres and raise Single Comb White
Leghorns. My poultry account appears
small after reading in the paper where
one man gets an average of two and
one-half eggs per day.of hen for a
whole month. have been keeping an
account of what my small flock has
done for the past three or four years,
what it cost and what l got for my
work. For one year, commencing Dec.
2, 1905, from eight year-Old hens and
100 pullets, April and May Matching
received 1886 eggs. | sold eggs TO
the amount of $149.41 at prices rangin"
from 10 to % cents per dozen. Four
hens were set, which Matched fifty
three chicks and raised forty-five.
These furnished us all the fried chick
en- we wanted, with twenty pullets left
for another year as producers. l now
have TO- lost thirty-six hens during
the last year from various causes.
During this time fed 100 bushels of
corn, costing $4610; twenty bushels of
buckwheat at 1896; fifty-one bushels
of oats at $12.39, making total of
SGT 40. In addition to these grains Va
fed ten bushels of carrots and garden
beets, which cost us nothing but the
labor to produce.
The hens have a range of six acres,
of which two acres are in pasture and
the other four are farmed. The net
amount received above cost of feed is
and eggs used by the family.

IL roughage is getting short or of
very poor quality and grain is fed, feed
more literally of cornmeal than would
otherwise be done.

Dairy Talk of Today.

tuberculosis Is now recognized as an
infectious disease caused and spread
by a microbe or bacillus, and DIR. Sal
mon presents the various methods Of
Graduating 1t from dairy herds. The
important features Of all methods are
the complete separation Of all affected
animals from the healthy ones, the
thorough disinfection Of barns which
have been occupied by tuberculous
animals and the establishment of bet
ter sanitary conditions.
CoIoring Butter and Cheese.
Questions about the coloring of but
ter and cheese under the pure food law
are frequent, so let us state once more
that use Of color in these products is
permitted by law and that the presence
OF coloring matter is not required to he
stated on the package, says the Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer. The law
which specifically permits the coloring
Of butter Is twenty years old and that
which permits coloring of cheese ten
years old. They were not repealed by
toe new law and are consequently still
In force.
Weighing Milk.
In q discussion at the late Vermont
dairy meeting dairyman asked If
farmers did not overestimate the work
of weighing milk. He found it nothing
to do ana scarcely any expense Pro
fessor Hills explained the weighing at
the university and said experiments
had proved that by weighing three
days month and adding q cipher the
actual monthly result could be obtain
cd in 0G per cent of the cases.
Milk Keep. sovcn Weeks.
y new process for keeping milk
long time Is announced by German
scientists. The milk is first treated
with peroxide of hydrogen. which kills
the germs, but imparts peculiar taste
to the milk. Then to each quart of milk
is added few drops of the ferment OBJ
taiEed from beef liver, from which the
beef has been expressed. This sub
stance, II Is claimed. destroys the I'M
pleasant taste given to the milk Ivy tho
peroxide of hydrogen. At first thought
this new plan does not seem TO be
adopted on a'large scale, and the dis
cOverers admit that it increases the
cost Of the milk or 3 cents per quart,
40 that 1t would not be practical to use
except where fresh milk could not be
obtained regularly. 1t is claimed that
the milk so treated was successfully
kept for seven weeks.

FEEDING Cut Green Bone.

There is one thing about which the
person who has had no experience with
feeding cut green bone should be eau
toned, and that is not to give the fowls
too much of the feed. They devour it
greedily, and unless you are very care
full they will eat too much. For the
average fowls we would not consider
1t advisable to give more than one
third or one-half ounce to each bird,
says Western Poultry Journal. Thus
to a flock Of three dozen feed twelve
to eighteen ounces each day. AS will
soon be found out, their supply must
be limited, and If they show ANY i'll
effects from what is given them the
food should be decreased in quantity.
