FEED FOR WINTER EGGS

m the matter OF feeding for eggs
In winter three things must be con

given balanced egg ration with due
regard to variety of feed; third. they
must have plenty Of charcoal, oyster

FARM NOTES.

The overgrown horse is seldom a
durable one.
Eggs intended for Matching should
not be kept over four weeks. They
must be turned every day or two.
1t will require seven pound of skim
milk to equal one pound of lean beef
for flesh-forming qualities.
One dollar per head is the average
cost of keeping a fowl a year, and
the same amount is fair estimate Of
the profits.
Hens will enjoy a change of diet
and will do better in consequence.
To keep on kicking and grumblins
is easy enough. There will always
be something not quite right. But
what's the use of spelling what is
good by spreading the bad over it.
The hen, that lays three eggs
week will pay double the profit Of
one that produces but two eggs.
A dairy cow is a machine that turns
feed into milk and cream.
Give your birds plenty of green
food in almost any form. They like

ana towns the people nave no other
sweetmeats than the concentrated-to-
dryness sap of the sugar cane, l. e.,
crude sugar. But it is concentrated to
a peculiar shape and form, IRE so many
little laths, about ten cenrimeters png
by three wide. and About one oatAne-
ter in thickness. 1t is of agreeable
syrupy sweetness, with the pleasant
natural flavor OF the cane well retained.
The color is rich looking brown. Mexf-
cans like 1t that shape, because 1t is
handy for stirring into and thus sweet
ening their coffee. 1t Is not suitable
for tea, In that 1t imparts a slightly
aciduated taste thereto, besides some
times discoloring It; whereas the ever
stronger coffee DISCUSSES these effects.
Now, this pure, unrefned sugar is
produced as candy In country district

holding about a pound. Each person
tikes one OF the little laths and breaks

1t Is much softer, more toothsome, and
speedier Of dissolving in the mouth

interesting" in comparison. This, then,
is the Sunday afternoon stock candy OF

badly the purest candy on earth-it is

THIS GENEROUS NATION.

The annual report of the commits
soner of pensions shows that the ma
lion deals very generously with the
men who fight to sustain its honor
md integrity. From 1866 to 1907.
10Th inclusive, the disbursements for
PENSIONS aggregated the staggering
sum of $3,611. 1,793. That Is not
ar from $50 for every man, woman
and child in continental United
States. but it all went to war veterans
and their dependents, and nobody
begrudges them the money. That Is,
provided the pension claims were
honest ones, based on actual injury
or service and made necessary by dis
ability or the infirmities of age.
That many abuses have been prac-
ticed in the pension system is not de-
MED, that men who were not entitled
to pecuniary rewards from the gov
ernment have received such rewards
Is admitted by all who are familiar
with conditions. But the dishonest
applications that have been granted
are SO few, when compared with the
total number, that not many people
would dream Of abandoning the sys-
tenn.
The report OF the commissioner OF
pensions shows that the veterans of
the war between the states are rapid
ly answering the last muster call. In
1905, with a total Of 1,004,196
names, the maximum number of pen
sioners was reached. Since that time
the decline has been steady. At the
csose OF the fiscal year ended June
80, 1907. and covered by the, COM
missioner's report, the total had
dropped to 967.371.
Nearly $4,000 names were dropped
from the rolls by reason OF death
and for other causes during the year,
but the names of nearly 10000 new
pensioners and more than 1000 re-
storations and renewals contributed
to reduce the net decrease to a little
over $4,000. Most OF the increases
consisted Of the names of soldiers of
the war with Spain, the amounts
paid out in this account aggregating
$3,471,15 n =
The grand total paid out during
the year was $141,464, ,522, but this
Included the cost of maintaining the
department as well as the payment of
pensions. 1t Is not believed that the
total will be soon decreased. As the
veterans Of the civil war and their
dependents drop out the veterans of
the war with Spain will come dn.
Even II we could be assured that the
United States will not become in
voived in another war during this
century it is more than probable that
| the year 2O01 would see pensioners
on account of the Spanish war still
on the rolls.
For, the last surviving pensioner
of the Revolutionary war, as a
widow, did not die until 1907. Three
daughters of the Revolution are still
on the rolls. And there are several
pensioners of the war of 1912. as
well as a number from the war with

At the close of the morning church

he balanced himself on mis- tiptoes and
tilted backward and forward and side
ways in his effort to adjust the veil
becominc'y. At last, after much ardu-
GUS toll, he succeeded in draping it to
his own and the woman's satisfaction.
Then he asked for the pins to fasten
it in place.
"Merciful goodness" calculated the
woman.
Whats the matter?" asked the
man.
What shall I do?" she walled. THE

it was noted by the interested observ-
ers that he did not put it on again.
