Protecting Plants From Frost.

Many people do not know that a
sheet of paper placed over a plant
will do great deal in protecting it
from frost, says The Gardener.
A nurseryman had one of his
boilers which heated portion of
the houses break down in March.
The same night that the accident
happened to the pipe there were
six degrees of frost and the sue
ceeding night 20 degrees. The con.
sequence was that three long, low,
span-roof houses were without the
means of being heated.
He obtained lot of old news
papers and spread them over his
plants and in the case of such sub
jects as cyclamens placed layer of
straw on the top of the paper; but
the majority of The plants had only
a double thickness Of paper to pro.
tect them, with the result that not
a plant was seriously injured.

The Poultry Yard.

YOU never can breed a white
feather out of black hens wing. II,
Hens do not belong to unions,
but they go on a strike when the
pay is insufficient.
At noon give some cut-up vege-
tables, and twice week give some
cut green bone.
Hens cannot speak but they can
understand. They know when
they are getting gooj treatment.
The hens that have to eat corn
out Of the snow, and drink ice wat
er, are not likely to be i'll any hu
NOR for laying.
The Jewish people in cities want
goose meat, and the grease, too.
So the geese must be fat.
If your flock is all run down in
egg production, try whole wheat
for one ration a day. Feed it in
the morning, warming it nicely.
Keep a supply of vaseline on
hand during the winter. Applied
to the frosted comb and wattles of
fowl it draws the frost out
thoroughly.
Keep the scratching sheds or the
floors of the poultry houses we'll
bedded, as the fowls need exercise
to warm up their bodies these cold,
frosty mornings.
Give an extra allowance of grain
at night, scattering it amongst the
litter, so that the fowls can be in
duced to exercise before they get
their regular breakfast.
1t is mistake to think that the
more hens you crowd into house
the more money you will get Ov-
ercrowding will cost you more than
any other one mistake.
If you want young pullets to
mature quickly, feed wheat, and
give them all the milk they can
drink. For laying hens milk tax
es the place of meat and insects.
Pullets will develop better and
more quickly if kept minated until
spring. No pullets should be used
for breeding purposes that are less
than ten months of age.
Close the poultry accounts at the
end of this month, and make a
memorandum of stock on hand,
buildings, utensils, etc. 1t will
be interesting to know just how
you stand in the matter. Farm

The Road of Life.

Long is the road, and strange, and y,
oh, so full of change!
Now, straight and smooth, it reaches
far away between fair fields and wav-

Now, boulder-strewn and difficult and
steep it turns to right or left or fades
into mysterious gloom step before.
Along this road earth's myriads pass.
None backward turn;
But all, some swiftly, some with lag
ging feet, move on toward the unknown
goal.
No one remembers where this path
began; and no one knows where it
shall end.
1t may be in desert dark and lone
and full of fear, for aught the travellers
know;

on the part of August Mirtzwa of
Hannibal convinced his sweetheart
he knew what was best when despite
an injury to her spine that changed
her from red-cheeked girl to a
hopeless cripple. he insisted they be
married The girl held off through
all those years, not because she did
not love the man more dearly than
ever for his devotion, but from a
feeling II would not be right to let
him sacrifice his life to her. Mirtz-
wa persisted in his supplementary
wooing, however, and at last the
young woman accepted his assur
ance he would be happier with her
than without her. terrible though
her affliction was. So in the home
of her cousin, No 1891 Gratan
street, they were wed and the BRIDE
groom went back to Hannibal to at
tend to imperative business, leaving
his bride In the care OF specialists.
II was a pathetic marriage. Mirtz-
wa. big and strong and young, knelt
beside the chair in which the girl
sat with difficulty. His arm thick
as many mans leg. encircled her,
and most OF the time her head was
on his shoulder. She was so weak
that her responses were scarcely
audible. All who saw her except,
perhaps, Mirtzwa. thought her death
only a question OF weeks. II not days.
The voice OF the clergyman who per-
formed the simple ceremony broke
several times before the end of the
service, and II was with much emo
ton in his tones that he wished the
couple all happiness. With such
ghost OF womanhood the bride, the
conventional words sounded almost
like mockery.
