Athletic Women.

Mrs. Gilman, an American authOress
told a select gathering of ladies' at the
Women's institute, at Victoria, that
woman was not nearly as beautiful
as man. She encouraged them to tn

THE GUINEA FOWLS.

There Seems to he a Growing Market
For Them as Table Birds.
1t seems that guinea fowls might well
be bred in the United States more ex-
tensively than is yet the case either
along with other poultry or in larger
numbers by themselves. The varieties
have been improved in recent years.
Judging by the best available data
guinea fowl aud chicken at moderate
prices yield about as much actual nour'

But at fancy prices they are directly
comparable with such expensive meats
as Allet of beef and French lamb

the farm where they are raised, and
especially II they have found most Of
their food, they are evidently an eco

ry prices and viii find that they give a
very pleasant variety in the meat list.
The demand for guinea fowls In city
markets has recently increased consid-
etdbly, perhaps quite largely ON ae'
count Of the more stringent game laws
now in force, and the price has In gen

POSED THE DEAD MAN.
Scheme Of the Gamblers In Crock
ford's House In London.

Scheme Of the Gamblers IN Crock
ford's House In London.
Crockford. the proprietor of well
known London gambling house, was
made to play queer role after he was
dead. When one of Crockfords horses
was poisoned just before the Derby
the misfortune brought on an attack
of apoplexy, which proved fatal with
in forty-eight hours. Now, many Of
Crockford's friends had staked large
sums on another of the gamblers
horses. which was a favOrite for the
Oaks and which was disqualified by
the death of the owner. Only the peo-
pie in the gambling house knew of
CrockfOrd's DEATH and 1t was resolved
to keep 1t a secret until after the race.
The servants were bribed and sworn
to secrecy, and the conspirators on the
day after the night upon which Crock
ford died had the body placed In q
chair at window, so that people re-
turning from the track cOuld see ths
gambler sitting there. He was fixed
up to look as lifelike as possible and
through the window and partially con-
cealed from view by the curtains look
ed SO natural that no one of the great
crowd which came cheering by the
house when on their return from see-
ing CrOckfOrd's horse win the Oaks
suspected the trick.
The next day it was announced that
CrOckford was dead. but it was years
before the true story leaked out

HOMEMADE CIDER PRESS.

Gecayed or defective apples, cutting
away the decayed parts. From ten to
twelve gallons of cider may be made
Of an evening or rainy half day, says
an Ohio Farmer correspondent In Civ
Ing directions as follows:
Most of the material may be picked
up around the farm, probably with the
exception of the screw. A carpenters
bench iron screw should be used. A
plank 2 by II inches and II feet long
is needed for the press frame. Saw
Off two pieces four feet long and two
pieces two feet long cut gain foul
inches from the end of each long piece
and half an inch deep and as wide as
the thickness Of the short pieces; then
spike the four together. For the cheese
crib get two hoops made of heavy hoop
iron, with holes punched about an
inch and a half apart, and fill them
with slaves about two feet long and
an inch and a quarter wide, and with
small nails or screws fasten the slaves
inside the hoops, leaving them quar-
ter of an inch apart and with a false
bottom to catch and conduct the cider
A hole should be bored in the cover
half an inch deep for the end Of the
screw to work in; otherwise it might
slip to one side and bend or possibly
break it.

OF course, added to this was the proc

poor cows, which is one of the most
important Of all processes connected
with the management of dairy herd.
Scrubs.
There are a great many scrub COW

Rate of Yield.
Cultivated mushroom spawn, used for
planting the beds, may be obtained
from nearly any scotsman in the form
of dried manure bricks. Before using
1t should be broken up into pieces about
two inches In diameter. These pieces
are planted in the bed eight to ten
inches apart by making a suitable hole
about two inches deep and pressing the
spawn into 1t. The hole should then
be again filed with the manure and
packed down firmly. The bed Is theu
covered loosely with excelsior or straw
to retain moisture and to prevent TO
rapid fall of temperature. At the enc
of about n week this material Is re
moved, and the beds are then covered
over with an inch to an inch and half

en- weeks mushrooms should begin to

Mushrooms at the New York Cornell
station have yielded at the rate Of
about two pounds per square foot Of

composted the last of October, and tbs
beds spawned Nov. %. The first mush

Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals.
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
sifted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled.
If you took handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches a single grain OF
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen The best advice on foods you
could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast.
You'll find Quaker Oats put up ii
