POULTRY YARD NOTES.

Nothing helps the egg output more
than a full feeding of cut green at
noon.
Prevention is worth more than a
cure; doctor the slightly-ailing bird,
but Danish the one that is real sick.
The green tops of a bunch of green
onions, cut up and cooked in the mash
wetting, are a fine spring tonic fed to
dozen hens. Too much onion flavor
will show effect in the market eggs.
The Buff Minorca is the latest, and
it halls from the Fresno district. With
the Barrels and Bluffs there will soon
be four varieties of the breed.
Lettuce is great green for little
chicks and poultry generally, but it is
probable one will feed unhealthy
germs upon it, If not washed, and
grown by a vegetable vender. In
washing the family lettuce the good
waste green should also be washed as
well, for feeding to chicks.
Variety of food is essential, but a
variety of methods in giving it are
detrimental.
The experienced breeder is particu.
lar about cleanliness, avoids over
crowding, feeds wholesome foods and
keeps the hens busy. Why? Because
he has arrived; to reach the same
goal, follow suit.

AT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE.
Some Good Advice for the Girl Who
Has Just Finished School and Is
Entering Society.

Don't. when school days are over,
fancy that your education is finished.
It is only just beginning. School
merely teaches us how to learn; but
the greater part Of our real education
comes after, and whether or not we
end up by being well-educated women
depends almost entirely on ourselves.
Wise people never regard their edu-
cation as finished" They are al
ways on the lookout to learn some
thing new.
Don't let a love of sport and out
door amusement lead you to despise
needlework and indoor occupations.
The woman whose interests are all
outdoor can never be home maker
in the best sense of the word.
Don't fancy that because you don't
happen to be good looking you cannot
be attractive. Some of the most at
tractive women mentioned in history
have been absolutely plain; they
merely learned how to make the best
of themseIves-and so can you.
Don't, if you find it difficult to get
on with people, excuse yourself by
saying that you are $50 reserved" It
is the surface impression that strang-
ers judge by, and not one in a thou
sand will take the trouble to try and
find out if you are interesting and
pleasant below if you are cold and re-
served on the surface. Therefore, the
thing to do, is to determine to be
pleasant, even if it does mean a big
effort-Boston Herald.

RESORT UNSOLD COMB HONEY
Combs Candied Should Be Cut Out and
Rendered and Sold for What
They Are.

If not already done, now is a good
time to resort all unsold comb honey.
One is almost certain to find some
which Is candied, and this should be
taken out, as we'll as any that shows
any signs of granulation whatever.
The combs that are candied can be
cut out and rendered and all the
partly candied sold for just what they
are.
The best place to do this sorting
is before a good-sized window, so the
combs can be held up to let the light
through if it will. The edges of the
comb next to the wood usually show
the first signs of candying.
When selling honey to the home
grocer it pays to go over his stock
occasionally and exchange any which
is candied. There is often a great
loss of trade resulting from selling
a good customer a section of candied
honey. The grocer should know how
to detect any slightly candied section

NOT A MATTER or LOYALTY.
Simple But !nsuperable Reason Why
Subject Gould Not Kneel
Before His King.

One fancies that few types of men,
can, from time to time, have afforded
royalty more amusement of quiet
sort than provincial mayors of Eng
land From the Foreland to Pen
zance," by Give Holland. contains the
story of mayor of Weymouth who.
during one of the visits of King
George to the town, was destined to
afford comic relief to a ceremony OF
some Importance.
The occasion was the presentation
of an address of welcome to the king,
and we are told that the mayor, on APP
preaching to present 1t, to the aston
ishment and dismay of all, instead of
kneeling, as he had been told to DO,
seized the queens hand to shake It
as he might that of any other lady.
Col. Gwynne, the master of the cere-
monies, hurriedly told hin of the
faux pas, saying: you should have
kneeled, sir"
Sir, 1 cannot" was the reply.
Everybody does, sir" holly asserted
the colonel
The mayor grew red, and evidently
much upset, exclaimed: "Confound it,
sir, but I've got wooden leg!"
History records that "a smile suf-
fused the face of her majesty, and the
king laughed outright. Com

Give Chickens Large Runs.

Houses and runs should be in pro.
portion. 1t is seldom that the yards
are large enough to keep the fowls
active and healthy. In cities and vii
lagos it is no unsual sight to see a
good sized house and run no larger
than the house in the area covered.
The result is perfectly bare and
often filthy ground plot. The area of
the yard should be at least ten times
that of the house in which the birds
are kept, and if the yard is larger, it
will not be of excessive size. In fact,
you cannot give the hens too much
range and if you cannot give them
free range, the area of the run should
be so large that part Of it will remain
green through the entire growing
season.

The MARRYING AGE.

There seems no harm in .. young CIR
marrying a man whose means are am
ply sufficier to maintain a wife, says a
current writer, and, provided that man
possesses the necessary moral and
physical qualities which go to make
good husband, there can be no possible
objection to the knot being tied as
soon as it suits their convenience. Il
there is considerable disparity in age
then it might be advisable to wait fol
a time to see if their love for each
other remains firm.
Early youth fades quickly away be-
fore the stern realities of life and the
responsibilities to be faced by two
young inexperienced people.
The ideal age for marriage for girl
is about rs, and the man should be a
trif1e older.

For Perspirinu Hands,

A good cure for that trying ailment,
hands that are clammy or perspire, is
to keep on your dressing table small
cheesecloth bag filed with one part
horax and three parts starch. This, if
busted over the palms of the hands
when they feel sticky will quickly
check the moisture.
Another help is to keep a bottle OF
alcohol in a convenient place, and wipe
off the hands with it several times a
day.
An excellent but somewhat more
complicated lotion is to mix II table
spoonfuls of rose water, one table
spoonful of tincture of benzoine and
ten grains of fannie acid. Rub well
with this liquid, and later dust with a
drying powder.

Gets Land for a Park.

1Glo EGiiu III Y Gihs
The senate passed the Geo.gi bills,
granting to Milwaukee the strip of
submerged land along the lake front
for park purposes. The strip runs
from North Point to South Point and
is from 600 to 1900 feet in width.
The senate passed the following
bills:
Removing the limit of premium on
bonds of county treasurers; prohibit
ing the wearing of military uniforms
by private citizens; appropriating $3.50
to the three members of the legisla-
tive committee which visited the
Charitable and penal institutions and
reported on their condition to the gov
ernor; appropriating $3.50 to William
Anderson of Madison for injuries re-
ceived by his wife in the collapse of
the bleacher seats at the university
last summer; providing that counties
shall pay for the burial of widows and
minor children of dependent soldiers,
sailors and marines; authorizing mill
tary companies of the Wisconsin Ma
tional Guard to form corporations for
the erection of armories.

stitch siIk Garments with cotton.

When making garments of silk, use
fine cotton thread for stitching up the
seams. This will prevent them from
the "puckering" which is almost I'M
avoidable with silk thread. 1t is q
good idea to first try stitching on a
small piece of silk, to- make sure that
the tension is just right. In places
where the stitching shows, or is used
as a trimming, the upper thread can
be of silk, with cotton on the bob
bin. Also for blind hemming on crepe
de chine, silk muslin, chiffon, ETC., very
fine cotton thread is far less notice
able than silk.-Good Housekeeping.

Automobile Bill Killed.

Assemblyman Bichler made an able
argument in favor of his bill which
raises the automobile license fee and
provides that part of the tax shall be
paid for the improvement of highways.
Assemblymen Towne and Kull sup
ported him in the attempt to stave off
defeat. Assemblyman Ledvina OPP
posed it on constitutional grounds.
Mr.. Ingram wanted it laid over for a
week pending the disposition of the
highway improvement bills. The mo-
ton to lay the bill over was lost.
