Good Mash Mixtures.

There are several good mixtures TO"
mashes. One is about equal parts OF
cornmeal and wheat bran with small
amount of -four middlings The exact
proportion must be determined by the
quality Of the different ingredients.
The object is to get fairly rich mash
that is not doughty. Neither do you
want one that is too light. Another
fairly good mash is what is known as
ground provender which is oats and
corn ground together. All mashes
should be sailed.

The Good Old Cochin,

We are pleased to notice that many
writers are coming back to the old
Cochins and mentioning them as most
valuable for producing market poultry,
says the Feather. One writer states
that he yet fosters several hundred OF
the old Yellow Cochins Of the kind
that lay so many eggs. Another states
that he uses Partridge Cochins exclu-
sively for the production of winter
eggs and dressed poultry for market,
always caponizing the ~cockerels and
gaining a good profit from their sale
in January. Many persons are pleased
to admit the Cochin fowls as valuable
for market producing stock. There
was a time when the Cochins stood at
the head of the list for market poultry
and eggs. Too many feathers and too
much cultivation along nonutility lines
made change in them.

Ioothpicks.

TootIpicks We're in common use IN
ancient Rome. Sometimes they were
made of quilts, but preferably Of the
wood of the mastic or lcntiSk tree,
whose astringent and aromatic gum Is
known to modern dentistry. Martlals
epigrams frequently mention the den
tiscalplum, or toothpick, and recon-
mend the wooden kind above the quill.
The toothpick was taken to England
by travellers from Italy and France.
AS Mares says, "The using OF 1t IN
public was long deemed an affected
mark Of gentillty." Shakespeare takes
this view when he makes one of the
characters in King John remark:
Now, your traveller
He and his toothpick at my worship's
mess.
And when my knightly stomach Is suf-
feed.
Why. then / suck my teeth and catech!so
Ny picked man OF countries.
The most fantastic use to which the
toothpick has ever been put was the
sixteenth and seventeenth century fash
ion Of wearing 1t in the hat rs tro-
ply or an ornament.

The highlanders' faith In the clergy
has always been peculiarly profound.
This characteristic Is illustrated,
though In rather an exaggerated way,
by the story Of two old women going
along the road after service who were
heard to discuss the sermon as fol-

peggy-Ah, and did you hear that
most precious word, Kirsty-a most
precious word?
Kirsty-No. And what word was
that?
Peggy-Oh, most precious word
and it's myself that will not forget It,
the precious word Nebuchadnezzar.

that other most beautiful word? N.Y.
self never heard it said before, the
beautiful word Bclshazzar.-Caledo-

Light Brahmas For Profit.

Properly fed and cared for, there are
no better winter layers than the Light
Brahma pullets or yearling hens. They
lay a large egg Of rich brown color.
A pullet belonging to the writer, says
Michael K. Boyer of Farm Journal,
laid 100 eggs from Jan. 1 to June l.,
and in her second season laid eighty
eggs in that time. For the entire year
as a pullet she laid fully 200 eggs. The
exact amount we do not have, as she
did not lay in trap nest the entire
year.

pound and quarter to pound and a
half each. At four to five months Of
age they are first class roasting fowls.

How to Cure Facial Neuralgia.

Here is Il simple method of curing
facial neuralgia, says the Cincinnati En-
quircr: If the neuralgia is in the right
side of the face, the left hand should
be placed in basin of water as hot
as can be borne, or if neuralgia is in
the left side of the face, then the right
hand should be placed in the hot water.
1t is asserted that in this way relief
may be obtained in less than five min
utes. The explanation is that the two
nerves which have the greatest number
Of tactile nerve endings are the fifth
and the median nerves. AS the fibers
Of these two nerves cross, any impulse
conveyed to the left hand will affect
1he right side of the face or if applied
to the right hand will affect the left
side of the face. This is on account of
the crossing of the cords.

DIET FOR CHILDREN.
How Mothers May Be Helped In Pro'
vidina Suitable Food.

In family where there are children
the mother is often compelled to COOK
separately for the young ones. ms
extra trouble may easily be avoided
If In preparing the food for the old
folks the following practical sug@es-
lions be kept in mind, says the New
York American:
FRYING should not be chosen as a
means of cooking meat for children
When preparing bccfsteak have not
fire place the steak on the grldlron
and hold il close to the fire for a min
ute, turning 1t rapidly. The fierce heat
coagulates the albumen near the sur
face. seals the pores of the meat ana
keeps in the Juice. When the outside
Is scared hold it farther from the fire
until it is done. On removing sprinkle
1t with salt.
Steak should be cut about one inch
thick. The top of the round is juicy
and we'll favored part of the beef and
steak cut from there Is less expensive
than the sirloin or choicer steaks ana
more nutritious This same method
of broillng may be applied to other
meats.
Poultry is not more desirable for
children than beef or lamb, although
being more delicate 1t is sometimes
considered so. Either the white or
dark meat may be given. the former
being preferable. 1t may be roasted,
boiled or broiled.
t. nj fn IN
of the tissues OF the nerves and brain
and is peculiarly important to children,
as the brain enlarges rapidly during
childhood. Next to butter and cream,
bacon IS one of the most palatahlc
forms In which 1t can be given. 1T
should not be overlooked, as then too
much of the fat IS fried out Some
times bread soaked in bacon fat will
be eaten with relish.
After child Is two years old veg
etable of some kind besides potato
may be given at the midday meal.
Cabbage and raw cucumbers are I'M
suitable, but any other well cooked
vegetable Is harmless in small quanti-
ties. Stewcd celery, peas, beans, ten
der caulinower, baked or stcwed to-
mato are all useful.
Any fresh, ripe, seasonable fruit may
be given early In the day to Il child
who Is we'll. The points to observe are
to have 1t sound-that Is, without a sus-
picion Of staleness-and not to give too
much at once. Strawberries raspDer-
ries, lackherries, pears, apples, peach
es, oranges and grapes are all welcome.
Fruit having a skin should be pared,
and grapes should have the seeds re
moved, or the child should be taught
not to swallow them. Bananas must
be given with caution. They disagree
with many children. Try slice one
day, and If no Ill effects follow two
the next proceeding slowly until GER
tain it can be well borne.
Stewed fruit can be given at supper
and is much relished by most children.
Apples, pears and peaches cooked in
this way are a valuable addition to the
diet list. and almost any of the fresh
fruits can be similarly treated.
In winter preserved apples, apricots,
etc, are nearly as nice as the fresh
fruit and bear little resemblance to the
old fashioned, leather-ike dried rrepa-
rations. They must he soaked over
night before cooking and boiled until
perfectly tender.
Prunes with the stones removed are
a favorite dish in many nurseries.

Flies.

The astonishing abundance Of flea
during the latter part Of the summer
is accounted for by the estimate made
by an eminent entomologist that the
progeny Of single house fly in the
course Of one summer will number
20S0,320. If 1t were not for the 10.
Vulnerable enemies provided by nature
for the destruction of the fly, the whole
air would be filed by the end of An.

A LAKENFELDER COCKEREl..

Little Understood Breed.

years a good deal Of discussion as to
the origin of the Lakenfelder (also

Is asserted that this bird was devel-

by repeated crosses Of what are now
known as Blue Andalusians and Black
Minorcas with the common fowls OF
the section, much as the Rhode Island
Reds were the result of constant intro
auctions Of Buff Cochin and the old
Shanghai blood. The more reasonable
view, however, is that the Lakenfelder
is really the native fowl Of Belgium.
