To Develop Arms and Shoulders.

Will you kindly publish some meth
cd of fattening the arms and shoul-
ders, and also way to get rid of
"goosefesh" on the arms?
Is there any way t" make the eye
lashes grow long? CLAIRE.
To develop the arms and shoulders,
massage them every night with cocoa
butter, and exercise in the morning
with dumbbells.
l cannot tell you what to do to get
rid of goosef1esh, for in each case the
cause of 1t may be slightly different
and therefore each case may need a
different treatment. Sometimes 1t Is
caused by the poor condition of the
blood. and then again by improper
circulation. advise you to consult
a physician and have him prescribe.
If you will apply vaseline to- the
edge of the eyelids 1t will increase
the growth of the eyelashes. Be sure
that the vaseline is pure, so that If
any should happen to touch the eye
itself no harm will be done.

Live up stairs If you wish to be In
good health! "Up how many flights?"
Only one flight of seven steps. I will
describe them.
First Step-Eat wheat, oats, corn,
fruits, beef and mutton, plainly cook
ed in moderate quantity. and but two
meals a day.
Third Step-Exercise freely in the
open air.
Fourth Step-Retire early and rise
early.
Fifth step-Wear flannel next your
skin every day of the year, and so
dispose your dress that your limbs
shall be kept warm. Battle frequently.
Sixth Step-Live in the sunshine.
Let your bedroom be one which re-
ceives food Of light. and spend your
days either out in the sunlight or In
a room which is we'll lighted.
Seventh Step-Cultivate cheerful
temper. Seek the society Of jolly
people. Absolutely refuse to worry,
and above all don't be afraid to laugh.
Go up this flight Of stairs. Live
above. Sickness cannot crawl up
there. Disease prowls about in the
basement. rarely does 1t get "up
stairs"

Very Likely,

The depot of Meridian, Texas, Is
about mile from the business part
Of the town. One night a sleepy,
weary travelling man said to the darky
who was driving him to the hotel:
"Old man, why in the name of
Heaven did they put this depot SO
far from town."
The darky scratched his head in
thought, and replied:

Day Of Grace.
II Gamma get over it," a Scotch farm
er remarked to his wife. II put two

The beadle had noticed the mis-
take, and also the frightened face Of
his old friend, who had not the cour-
age to retake the coin as the old
fashioned ladle-like spoon was care
fully passed over the head to the next
pew, and one penny after another was
dropped into the bowl.
The old farmer sat in silence and
said nothing. The old beadle allowed
him to miss the plate for twenty-four
consecutive Sundays.
On the twenty-fifth Sunday the
farmer again ignored the collection
plate, but the old beadle steadied the
ladle in front Of him, and in loud,
tragic whisper, said hoarsely. "Your

The Inuuisitive Colonel,

At a certain military post there
was gruff old colonel, one Of whose
duties was to occasionally test the
food of the soldiers. One day he saw
two privates carrying soup-kettle

PROFITABLE POULTRY FEED.
Successful Raising of Chickens De-
Ponds on Supplying Proper Kind
of Feed at Right Time.

The successful raising of poultry,
whether for meat or eggs, depends
upon supplying the right kind of feed
in the proper proportion. A fowl re-
quires certain quantity of food con-
tanning protein, carbohydrates and
ash to sustain life. A surplus over
and above this goes to produce eggs
or accumulate flesh. A study of the
composition of the body and feathers
of fowl shows that almost one-half
of the dry matter of the body is pro-
tein and about eight per cent. ash.
Investigations by Jeneter at the
New York experiment station show
that the body of a Leghorn hen
body, bones, feathers and viscera-
contains 55.S per cent water, 11.6 per
cent. protein, 2.S per cent ash and II
per cent fat. The analysis of a fresh
egg shows its composition to be: Shell
liza per cent, water 65.7 per cent, fat
S.9 per cent. and protein between II
per cent and 13 per cent. Of the to-
tai dry matter in an egg, including
the shell, there is 1856 per cent. ash,
25.9 per cent. fat and from 33 to 3S
per cent protein
A study of the above ANALYSIS shows
clearly the Importance of supplying a
liberal allowance of both protein and
ash matter in the rations of poultry.

NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD

With over 70 distinct breeds OF
fowls to select from it always seemed
curious to me why some people in
sisted upon keeping scrub hens.
When poultry is being cross-bred
for special purposes, such as roasters
broilers, etc., believe that better re-
suits will come when we use a male
of the smaller breed and hens of the
larger breed of fowls
Incubator chicks should be fed with
more caution than those Matched with
hens. Their artificial condition makes
them more delicate and more suscep
tible to changes of food and temper
ature.
With poultry there is greater oppor
tunity for choice among a long list OF
breeds than amung any other kinds
of stock. We can select color accord
ing to our taste; we can breed for
eggs or for flesh, for sitters or non.
sitters, for large or small fowls.
Feeding fowls does not consist in
throwing out to them certain GUAM.
tity of feed one, two or three times a
day. 1t requires judgment to properly
feed fowls They will not require the
same quantity every time, nor the
same kind of feed. This is a matter
that can be studied with profit.

AFFECT FERTILITY OF EGGS.
Too Warm Quarters and Overlooking
Laying Stock Have Injurious
Effect.

Officials of the department Of agr1-
culture have been collecting data re-
garding the factors which affect the
fertility Of eggs. 1t has been found
that too warm quarters for laying
stock and overlooking are commonly
believed to exercise an unfavorable in
fluence on egg fertility The way eggs
are handled or stored is also believed
to affect the proportions which will
hatch
The conditions under which incuba-
ton occurs also have an effect. The
vigor and character of the parent
stock and the length of time the male
bird has been with the flock are also
important questions with respect to
egg fertility AT the outset it should
be stated that fertility and "hatcha-
bility" are not necessarily Identical.
An egg may be fertile and still the
germ does not have sufficient vitality
to produce healthy chick under the
ordinary conditions Of incubation. In
series of incubator experiments at
the Rhode Island station, of S,677 eggs
tested 83 per cent. were found to be
fertile. while only 46 per cent. of the
fertile eggs, or 1856 per cent. of the
total number Of eggs, Matched under
the conditions of the tests.
The various observations made,
while not entirely conclusive, indicate
that, In order to secure fertile eggs
which will hatch, the laying stock
must not be kept in very warm quar-
tiers; males should be kept with the
hens continually and only those eggs
should be used which are produced
after the male has been with the hens
several days. Only fowls from very
vigorous parent stock and those known
to produce high percentage of fertile
eggs (hens vary widely in this re
spec), should be used The hens
should be allowed to rest after each
laying period, while the eggs should
be handled carefully, not be subjected
to extremes of temperature in storage
and be used only when comparatively
fresh.

cuItivating the Orchard.

Cultivation of the orchard is main
ly for conserving the soil moisture. If
cultivation is begun early in the sea-
son and continued till midsummer
growth OF wood will be stimulated and
fruit developed. Less moisture in
late summer and early fall is desired,
so that wood will properly develop
and harden to be able to stand the
cold of the following winter. Arrange
to cultivate the orchard early in the
summer and have the soil in good fix
for sowing to rye or other crops to-
ward the last of the summer. The
cover crop will afford some good win
ter pasture, will keep billy land from
washing. and may be plowed under
the following season for green ma
nuring and the formation of humus.

Moisture tests at the Oregon station
were made in which incubators were
operated, according to the directions
of makers with the exception that
moisture was used in different
amounts In the moisture machines
a tray of dry sand was kept under the
eggs. The sand in the maximum mois.
ture machines was kept wet all the
time, or as wet as it could be kent
without water standing on the sand
The final results showed an increase
in number of chicks Matched of 80 G
per cent by using moisture in incu.
bators.

Cowpeas in Orchard.

In the young bearing orchards SOW
cowpeas one bushel to the acre. These
are excellent fertilizing plants and
furnish lots of feed for hogs and
sheep, and at the same time all fallen
fruit will be taken up and many in
sects avoided. Or if you want a good
winter mulch let the vines remain on
the ground when they can be plowed
under and enrich the soil. Sow early
if wanted for feed.

Time for PRUNING.

Most towering shrubs bloom on

hence these shrubs should be pruned
after the Towering season. Prune
currant and gooseberry bushes in the
spring, cutting out all dead canes and
many of the old canes to induce vigor
of growth and larger fruit.
