"The kings coat. waistcoat and shirt

first valet handed the nightshirt to the
most highly qualified person, to one Of
the princes Of the blood If any were
present. This was a right and not
favor. When the person was one with
whom he was on familiar terms the
king would often play tricks while
putting 1t on, stepping on one side to
make the holder run after him, accom-
panying these charming jokes with
loud guffaws. which greatly vexed
those who were sincerely attached to
him. When his shirt was on he put
an his dressing gown, while three val

 A. B. Camp and Mrs Brundage were at the donation party, but stole away next day, she to her sons home in Bridgeport and he to his daughters in Kent Hollow to spend the winter, not saying goodbye to friend presumably because no regretful feelings on the happy occasion, but as private as their leave-taking was, there were not a few who by some means knew they were going.

MANAGEMENT Is Half.

There is as much in care and man
agement as in the food. Keep the hens
busy all day and then give them
enough to fill the crops at night. In
this way one can have healthy fowls
and avoid many bad habits. If hop
per is used to feed mash, supply a light
feed of grain in the litter in the morn
ing; stir 1t in we'll so that they have
to work to find it. At noon open the
hopper and let them help themselves
until four O'Clock, when it should be
closed and the hens fed an abundant
feed of grain. If some grain is left in
the litter they will search it out the
next morning, II moist mash is fed
1t should be given at noon and then in
moderation, as the hens are very fond
of warm, crumbly mash in cold wealth
er, and may engorge their crops II
fed too much. Aim to have constant
supply of fresh water. Do not allow
the fowls to get too hungry but endea-
vor to keep them comfortable, busy
and contented. BY strict adherence to
these rules one should be able to make
strong vigorous pullets lay well all the
fall and winter.-Poultry Bulletin of
Michigan Experiment Station.
