CASE FOR THE BABY RIBBON.
Easily Made and Really Indispensable
as Part of Belongings Of the
Dainty Girl.

The girl who knows how disrepu-
daintily cared for will welcome sim
pie, washable case that can be made
in few minutes.
A somewhat large embroidered hand
kerchief with border running around
it was cut in half, each piece making
case. The half was turned up so
that it folded in thirds, with the outer
side coming down at top or cover.
The part cut in two was finished
with narrow hem and the ends were
finely overcast together. The case
ment, three smaller ones, one on
each end and the third in the middle,
and two larger spaces between. These
latter were made big enough to hold
a bodkin run through the card on
which the ribbon was wound.
Small cardboard reels were made to
fit each compartment. These were
slightly curved on each edge to keep
the ribbon from slipping.
The advantage of such a case is
that 1t is quickly Numbered and takes
up no room in bag or trunk. If in
tended for a present. each reel can be
filled with a piece of baby ribbon in
different colors, the bodkins can be of
silver or different colored ivory and
a tiny pair of scissors can be attached
to one of the reels. These make in
expensive and pretty trinkets for a

POULTRY HOUSES.

W. S. Jacobs in bulletin from the
Arkansas station, gives the following
directions for the building Of poul-
try houses:
Every hen should be allowed six
square feet of floor space. Each
bird of the Plymouth Rock, Wyan-
lotte and other general purpose
breeds requires about nine inches o.
perch room. Leghorns, Minorcas,
Spanish, etc, about eight inches.
Brahma and Langshans. ten inches.
Roosts should be made low or near
he ground-not higher than two
feet. There are several reasons for
this. Fowls of the heavier bre-i
cannot fly high. and those Of me
lighter breeds frequently injure the
soles of their feet in jumping from
high perches. Roosts should be
made all of the same height. Fer
if they are made some higher than
the others, the birds will all fock
to the highest ones and crowd, which
is undesirable.
w utH III CDiJIllS DUdI Us tiit uotN'
they should be low down, to permit
Of easy cleaning. They should be
made of matched lumber and SHOULD
by twenty inches wide for one perch,
and three feet wide for two perchei.
The first perch placed at least tea
inches from the wall. A good roost
may be made from material 2X2
inches. then slightly rounded on the
dyes
Many use old boxes fog nests, but
If near the ground are liable TO IN
duce egg-eating. To prevent this
use dark nests. Nests are usually
made from twelve to fifteen inches
square. Dirt floors are, as rule.
more satisfactory and much cheaper
than board floors. ard have the ad-
ditional advantage of not providing
a hiding place for rats, weasels, etc.
The f1ccr should be at least si1 inches
above the surrounding ground. This
can be accomplished by filling in with
sand and gravel. From time to time
his filling should be taken out and
renewed, otherwise it is liable to be-
come foul
Cement foundations are best and
cheapest in the end, but posts or
stones at the corners serve we'll.
The building should always be con-
structed in the spring or early sum-
mer. in order that it NAV dry out
before the fowls have to be housed
in it.

FARM NOTES.

The skim milk and manure are both
substantial dairy assets of no mean
proportion.
Every state and section that has
increased the dairy industry has in
creased its soil fertility in a SUBJ
stantial way.
Keeping a record of each cows
production is the way to see which
are profitable and which improbable
boarders.
1t usually does not pay to doctor
sick fowls unless they are valuable
breeders or show birds. Always re-
move a sick fowl from the main flock
as soon as the earliest symptom Of
illness is noticed.
Secretary Hall. of the New York
State Dairymen's Association. says
he believes that the sanitary milk
question has been carried too far
lie thinks that milk reasonably cfean
IS good enough for anybody.
In alfalfa regions brood sows are
fed exclusively on alfalfa hay in
winter and alfalfa pasture in sum-
mer time. Very little grain. or none
whatever, is fed. AS result the
sows are always strong, vigorous and
healthy.
Glover hay cut fine cooked and
stepped in boiling water. makes an
excellent change of food for brood
sows, or for cows that have recently
calved. 1t is also excellent for young
took of all kinds; if slightly sea
soned with salt and small guam
tity or bran and cornmeal added to

food.

His Salad Dressing.

That witty divine, Sidney Smith,
wrote the following directions for a
salad dressing, which those who have
tried praise highly:
Two boiled potatoes strained through
a kitchen sieve,
Softness and smoothness to the sal
ad give;
Distrust the condiment that bites too
Yet deem it not, thou man of taste, a
To add double quantity of salt.
Four times the spoon with oil of Luc-
ca crown,
And twice with vinegar procured from
town;
True taste requires it, and your poet
begs
The pounded yellow of two hard boil
ed eggs.
Let onions atoms Turk within the
And, scarce suspected, animate the
whole;
And lastly in the favored compound
toss
A magic spoonful of anchovy sauce,
Oh. great and glorious, Oh, herbac-
eOuS meat,
'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to
eat.
Back to the world he'd turn his weary
soul,
And plunge his fingers in the salad
bowl.

MARK TWAIN'S PlAYMATES.

Many OF them are much Older

we don't call a man old till he gets

aZlneS have been so much in the ha1
it of referring to Mark Twain as the
aged humoriSt' that many OF our PEG

mus be 100 or thereabout. That :

al vigor and the cool, pure breezes al
ways blowing from the river fills his
lungs with the sort of oxygen that
kills disease germs. Being way up,
where the airs so pure, you sleep
sound, and nobody catches wrinkles
till they're getting along toward the
eighties.
If Clemens had remained there
he'd be in the juvenile class yet, and
nobody would have thought OF calling
him one of the ancients.'
1t may be added that Judge Thorn
as H. Bacon, who died at Hannibal
recently, was referred to in despatch
es announcing his demise as the
playmate of Mark Twain" Judge Bac
on always resented being so classi-
fed, not because of any dislike to
Clemens, but because he regarded
to be called his playmate.
Judge Bacon was 50, making diff
ference of four years between his age
and Clemens's. A few years ago the
writer called upon him to get some
boyhood stories about his playmate.
