HOW THE DART IS MADE.

the piece of card. first cutting it the
shape shown in the picture. Tack it
on with two or three bradS, clnchng
them on the other side to insure their
firmness. When this is done, and not
before, balance the dart on your knife
blade to find the center of gravity"
and at the point where it balances cut
a notch slanting in the direction Of the
point away from the card end.
If you cut this notch in the center or
near the end, the dart will not work.
1t must be just where it balances. Be
sure you get this notch right, for on it
depends the success Of the toy.
The dart being finished, the next
thing is to construct the lash to throw
it with. A piece Of ash or some springy
wood is better for this purpose, but
pine or spruce will do. Cut this about
three feet long and the diameter of
whip handle, so you can handle 1t com
fortably in the hand, yet thin and
springy, tapering toward the end. To
the small end of this stick fasten a
piece of stout string about two feet
long, and at the other end of the string
tie a knot.
To shoot the dart hold it with the
left hand near the tail or paper end,
holding the whip in the right. Throw
the string over the dart and draw 1t
through the notch until 1t catches on
the knot. Then with a rapid upward
motion switch the whip into the air,
letting go the dart at the same time.
The dart will leave the string and soar
high into the air
The lighter the dart is made and the
more springy the whip the higher the
mimic dart will fly Be correct in your
aim, and you may learn to hit the
mark as well as did the oldtime sling
ers. But be careful not to break win
dOws or "smash things" in your train

LIMBER NECK.
How This Bane OF the Poultry Yard
May Frequently Re Cured.

How This Bane OF the Poultry Yard
May Frequently BE Cured.
Timber neck is the result OF ptOmaine
poisoning of some kind. says the Feath-
er Decayed meat full of magsJts is
the usual cause Some claim that the
live maggots moving about in the crop
so irritate it as To communicate through
the nerves to the brain ana cause tae
peculiar twist of the neck. No matter
what the real cause may be, whether
It is the meat or the mJ%gJt. tie pto-
maine poison taken into th,' system par
alyZes the brain ana cal,sns the tr0u-
Bile. The sureSt relief from this Is by
mixing Il tablespoonful OF turpentiuc
in an equal amount Uf warm water
and pouring the same into the crop.
Follow this with warm water until the
crop is nearly filled Take the fowl up
by the feet, head down. and gently
work the entire contents of the crop
into a box partially tilRd with earth
The reason for using the box Of earth
is 50 that the refuse of the crop may
be buried deep away from any pOssi-
bility Of other fowls or dogs consuming
it. Wash the crop out in this way two
or three times if necessary. When
thoroughly cleansed, administer tn
blespoOnful of warm castor oil and
leave the fowl in Il quiet. cool place by
itself to recover. 1t is always best to
cOntine it to itself, SO that the place
may be thoroughly cleunsed after the
fowl has recovered or died, whichever
may be the outcome of the treatment
If not too many are attacked, destroy
the ailing ones, burning or burying the
carcasSes. TO prevent all this never
permit putrid meat of any kind to lie
about for fowls, pigeons, dogs or chill
dren to eat, as it is likely to injure
them the same as it does the fowls.

Place two rows of pins on the carpet
one on each side of the room. The pins
should be six inches apart. Then, at
the word of command, the two players
are to pick up one pin at time, re-
turn with it and place it in bowl
The one who has picked up all the pins
first, of course, wins. There is no stip-
ulation as to which pin is to be first
picked up. Counters may take the
place Of pins, or nuts would do. But
pins are best because of the difficulty
in picking them up. Some fun may be
made by guessing who will be the win
ner in the pin race.

Low roOsts must be provided for
growing fowls and their houses kept
scrupulously clean. If it is unsafe to
leave houses open at night, cover win
dOws and door frame with poultry net
ting. While it may not be as harmful
as some suppose to crowd grown fowls
in cold weather. it is certainly Il grave
mistake to crowd growing fowls. By
diSposing of the culls and all hens over
two years old there will be more room
for the pullets. If there be not enough
room then and one is unable to build
another house, Gull again more closely
1t is much better to do this than to
have a lot Of runty, undeveloped pull
let's eating food and laying no eggs all
winter. No amount of care will ever
make stunted fowl paying PROPOSE

A PerambuIatins Pudding.

A commuter who lives up the
Hudson river and who is, of course,
accustomed to go downtown every
morning contributes a specimen of
Finnish humor to the New York
Sun. By the commuters confession
he is prone to prowl around the re-
frigerator almost every night and
quietly dispose of any unconsid-
cred trife that may tempt his appe-
tite without publishing the same to
the household at large. Recently
his wife was discussing luncheon
with a new importation from Fin
land named Hilda and, remember
ing a pudding that they had not
been able to finish the day before,
said to the kitchen autocrat:
"Do you know where that piece
of cold pudding is?"
Without smile on her face Hill
da answered:

Macuish in his book on sleep tells a
story of man who was sued for a
debt, originally contracted in the life
time Of his father and, as the man
thought, settled by him, but of such
settlement he could find no trace
among his papers. After searching a
long time to no purpose he went to
bed with the determination of giving
up the fight and making the best COM
promise he could. He dreamed that
his father came to him in his sleep
and told him that he had paid the debt
and that he would find the papers in
the possession Of certain solicitor.
His father added that he could remind
the lawyer of the case by the incident
that they could not get change for a
Portuguese piece of money and had to
drink 1t up In a tavern. The man
awoke and went Immediately to see
the solicitor in question, whom he
found an old man. At first he denied
all remembrance Of the case, but at
mention of the Portuguese money the
whole event came back to him, and aft
er some trouble he found the papers
that were needed, thus saving the man
from heavy loss.

the ideal as any Of his breed ever pro-
duced in the United States the home

of the admiXture of Buff Cochin blood

1t is impossible to Gull your fiocks
too closely. Always draw from the
poor quality for market purposes and
to sell. Never permit the best and
most valuable to go from your posses
sion unless it is in the way of an ex-
hibition specimen, which perhaps can
be as well spared from your tlocks as
not. What you should hold fast to are
the most vigorous, most profitable pro-
ducers, and cultivate them for future
Eesults.

Be sure to attend some of the poul-
try shows and study poultry from an
exhibitors standpoint 1t is an object
lesson that will be well worth the time
and expense necessary Better yet,
take some of your birds and show them
in competition with others. If you do
not win, it will give you an oppOr-
tunity to compare them with the wins
ners and ascertain where they are de-
fective, giving you an idea how to i'm
prove them.

Rock often wins in the large shows in
competition with buI fowls of all
breeds The feathers on the legs have
disappeared entirely except on the
scrubbiest specimens, and there is no
more hardy or better utility fowl in
existence now than the Buff Plymouth
Rock. The Illustration shows how one
of these birds should look There
should not be the blocky shape of the
WyandOtte. That is something to be
carefully avoided, for Plymouth Rock
shape must be preserved at all costs.
Then there must not be the long,
straight body of the Dorking. which is
as Objectionable us the short body of
the Wyandotte or the peculiar trunk Of
the Rhode Island Red, which is good
only in its place. Breed as close to
the type shown in the illustration as
possible, and you will not go far wrong,
no matter what variety of Plymouth
Rocks you may be interested in.

Indoor SuR.

Once on time in far Japan
There lived a busy little man,
So merry and so full Of fun
That people called him Indoor Sun.
Now, Indoor Sun made mirrors fine
Like those In your house and in mine,
And in these looking glasses bright
His own face saw from morn till night.
1t made him feel so very sad
To see his face look cross and bad
That he began to take great care
To keep sweet smile always there.
And soon he found that those he knew
All seemed to like him better too,
For, like the mirrors. every one
Began to smile on Indoor Sun.
Now, try this just one day and see
How bright and smiling you can be.
You'll find both happiness and fun
IN playing you're an Indoor Sun.
