HpalthfuI Foods.

A successful poultry woman writes
the Indiana Farmer that onions
chopped fine and mixed with the hens
food occasionally will promote health.
Onions are great poultry tonic, and
they are relished by fowls old and
young. Our little fall-hatched chicks
tumble over one another to get to
their feed when onions are mixed
with it. Some folks have a good deal
of faith in the advertised egg-produc-
ing foods.
These foods are all right when fed
in right amounts, but if fed too lib
orally and too often they are apt to
cause disease, And the lndiscrimin-
ate use of stimulants is also to be
condemned. The first things some
people do when hen gets out of con-
dition is to pile red pepper down her
throat. And they season the hen S
feed literally with cayenne pepper
to increase the egg yield. All stimu-
iants are weakening in their effects.
and cayenne pepper is n stimulant
and should be fed sparingly. The
best egg stimulant and health pro-
moter is variety of good, wholesome
food adapted to egg production. dry.

Timothy or Clover.

1t is a constant surprise to us to
receive so many inquiries as to the
comparative values of clover and
timothy as soil builders. Glover is a
soil builder, but timothy is nothing
of the kind. In fact, timothy. partic-
ulariy when ripened for seed, is as
distinctly a soil robber as any of the
grains. II as much a surface feeder.

is practically nothing.
Glover is just the reverse of all
this. 1t goes deep into the subsoils.
feeds considerably from the air, and
adds certain nourishments to the soil.
which are entirely foreign to timo-
thy. Turned under. clover adds far
more to the soil than timothy, largely
for the same reasons that alfalfa
does. When we divide crops into
their two classes. soil builders and
soil robbers, timothy goes in with the
grains, while clover most surely
ranks high among the soil builders.
As hay or pasture timothy bal
ances up well with clover and for this
and other reasons is very often sown
with clover but not because it in any
way takes its place in building uD the
soils fertility. On some soils clover
seems to do better after a dense

Grass-Fed Beef

Professor Herbert w. Mumford,
who spent six months of last year in
vestigating cattle conditions in Ar
gentina, s. A., says that very fine
herds of cattle are produced in Ar
gentina without a mouthful OF grain.
These cattle are fed simply grass and
alfalfa and we're never in stable.
He saw breeding cattle in extra
flesh on alfalfa pasture. one COW in
particular showing actual rolls Of fat
on her rump, and yet she had never
tasted anything else but alfalfa from
her birth.
Grass-fed mutton has gone from
Argentina to London market too fat
to sell. On one ranch of 100000
acres there are 1S,600 cattle, 10000
sheep and 1000 horses-all market
fat without pound of grain. Most
of the cattle country is fat and level
and the climate is ideal for growing,
as blizzards and severe weather are
unknown.
Argentina is a real competitor of
the United States and has during the
past three years shipped considerably
more beef to Great Britain than has
our own country. The beef can be
delivered in London from Argentina
as cheaply as it can from Chicago.

Charcoal For Young Chicks.

There is nothing better for bowel
trouble in little chicks than freshly
burned charcoal, says a writer in COL
mans Rural World. The charcoal
grains are also excellent, and are
said to be efficacious in roup. The
greatest problem with little chicks in
brooders is bowel trouble. which
prises from several causes-chilling
too much heat, crowding, lack of ex-
ercise and a wrong diet. If charcoal
is pulverized every day and mixed
with the food the bowel trouble
quickly disappears, provided other
faults are remedied. Charcoal is
corrective and not a medicine.
1t absorbs gases and promotes di-
gestion of the food 1t is most efica-
c!ous when freshly prepared, for
when allowed to stand it absorbs
odors and gases from the atmosphere
which partially destroy its heaIthful
qualities. 1t may be fed in any ouan-
tity for the fowls will not use too
much of it, but for larger birds it
should be placed in boxes and nut
where they may have access to it. OF
course it must be renewed often If
used in this manner. For little
chicks, which need 1t at once. it
should be mixed in their food in small
quantities until some effect is seen.
and then the quantity moderated to
regular proportion each day. For
the brooder chicks 1t will be found
one of the best regulators known.

Suggestion on Etiquette. 1

Special care is necessary in eat
ing fruit so that 1t may be done in as
delicate way as possible. Pears and
peaches should be peeled with silver
knife, cut in quarters and the pieces
taken up in the fingers, but II the
fruit is very Juicy it would best be
eaten with fork. Plums are taken
up in the fingers and eaten without
taking the stone in the mouth.
Oranges are cut crosswise with a fruit
knife, and the sections taken out with
an orange spoon or an ordinary tea
spoon. After eating fruit the tips of
the fingers should be dipped in a fin-
ger bowl. The moistened fingers of
one hand may be touched lightly to
the lips. The napkin is then used to
dry the fingers and lips. One should
not lean over a finger bowl.-Mrs.
Samuel Armstrong, in the Boston
Post.

many misgivings he proceeded on his
way to her. Would she not endure
anything rather than a separation
from Philip? Would not the mother
love in this extremity rise supreme
over that of the woman for her
lover? 1t had seemed that her affec-
tion was deeper than that of most
mothers, for in her almost intolerable
matrimonial life, Philip had been the
only object for the expenditure of her
love.
Great, then, was Edmonston's sur
prise at the calmness with which she
listened and her evident preparation
for the result of the interview.
Il knew he would strike me
through Philip" she said. "I know
his cruel nature. I am prepared to
accept the condition. Philip. If he
lives to become a man, will leave me
some day for another woman. 1t is
natures law. Have / not seen scores
of sorrowing mothers hunger for a
crumb of sons love, thrown without
reserve at the feet of a stranger?
The day will come when I shall be
alone in my suffering. Rodney hates
me, Philip will forget. I have de-
cided. Take me, Xenil!"
BY subtle chain of reasoning she
had thought the matter out to the
end, and the decision at which she
arrived was as unalterable as the law
of the Medes and Persians.
Before her husband returned that
night Helen was on her way to the
adjoining city, where she lived quiet
ly until her divorce was obtained,
when she was married to Xenil Ed
monston. But in spite of his now
wide influence and wealth, she was
completely ignored by the society in
which she had formerly reigned as
queen. Women, mothers particular
ly, do not readily forgive child deser-
ton; in spite of Rodney's we'll known
cruelty to her, public sympathy was
entirely with him and the boy. Be-
fore the expiration of year after she
became Mrs. Edmonston, Xenil was
forced to sell, at sacrifice, his large
ana, lucrative practice, and move
away.
Only once was the name of his
mother mentioned between Philip and
his father. Several years later, when
the lad had reached an understanding
age. Rodney related to him the story
Of Helen's desertion, coloring the
facts to suit himself. He listened in
silence, with flushing face, kissed his
father tenderly and walked quietly
out of the room. Truly he had in
herited all of his mothers reserve
and decision.
The story reached Helen's ears,
and when, few years later, she met
Philip-now almost man--upon the
streets of the city In which she lived.
he passed her coldly and without
recognition. However, she was aware
he knew she was his mother.
Xenil Edmonston was always kind
ness and devotion itself to his beauti-
full wife. And she? Did his love
compensate her for the social ostra-
cism. and, more than all, for the loss
OF her boy. with his respect and love?
Helen ever remained silent on the
subject; SO who can tell?---Waverle
Magazine.
