An Easy Fit.

A number of years ago there lived
in northern New Hampshire a notori-
Gus woraan-hater. 1t was before the
day of ready-made clothing, and want
ing a new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of women in gen.
eral prevented his having fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying 1t on 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent In the

public White House receptions of course are en-

must appear on the engraved ticket of admission
which accompanies the invitation, one line OF
the ticket must be left blank because the engra-
wing of 1000 individual names, one to go on each

expense. 1t is the duty Of one of the clerks to

that this would be hopeless task, or that at the

after long practise might be able to accomplish
what his predecessor successfully had done.

CRATE TO FATTEN POULTRY
Some Farmers Follow That Metnoo
for Quick Profits-Sone Ex-
celIent Formulas.

Crate fattening of fowls is followed
by some for quick profit. BY keeping
the chickens in confinement they do
not form sinew and muscle as they
do when allowed to run at large.
Some coops are divided into partitions
or stalls, each of which will hold two
or three young chicks or one full
grown fowl They should be fed three
times day all they will eat in 10
or 20 minutes. Here are some formu-
las for fattening poultry in crates:
Equal parts of bran, corn meal and
oat meal >or rolled breakfast oats,
mixed with skinned milk, fed three
times a. day.
Buckwheat flour, pulverized oats
and cornmeal, in equal parts, mixed
with buttermilk.
EQUAL parts barley meal and oat
meal and half a part of corn meal.
mixed with buttermilk or skinned
milk
A favorite French combination is
two parts barley meal, one part corn
meal and one part buckwheat -four.
A little salt ana coarse SdHu SHoulu
be added to their food. Three weeks
is the length of time to continue the
feeding Chickens do not seem able
to stand the confinement for greater
length of time. During the last week
of the fattening process five per
cent. of cotton seed meal and a little
tallow may be added to any of the
above formulas.
A fattening crate is usually made
6 feet 6 inches long, IS to 20 inches
high and Is inches wide. 1t is di'
vided into three compartments, each
holding four to five birds, according
to the size of the chickens. 1t is
made of Stats, except the ends and
partitions between the compartments,
which are of solid wood. The Stats
ON the top, bottom and back run

the front run up and down. They
re usually IL inches wide and Is

feeds, the soW's stomach is dlstended
and she is satisfied, and yet does not
fatten up as when nothing but con-
centrated feed like grain is given.
AS narrowing time approaches, the
bulk of feed should be cut down, less
water should be given, and more pro-
tein and oily feeds should be fed, so
as to keep the SOW in a laxative con-
dition. If she is in good condition,
light feeding will help keep her so.
Exercise in the fresh air, together
with the care noted in feeding, should
bring her up to narrowing time in fine
shape.
Attention to the brood SOW at far
rowing time should be especially en-
phasiZed. This is an important crisis
in the pork-producing business, which
is to determine the result of many
months of feeding and watchfulness.
For "a or So hours after narrowing,
the SOW need be fed nothing save
some warm water, to which a small
quantity of shorts has been added.
This will have tendency to hold back
the milk flow, relieve the congested
condition of the udder, and check the
frequent tendency to fever. After sc
hours the feed may be gradually in
creased

Payment By Check Preferable to Use
of Currency.
A very desirable step, in the intro
duction of business methods on the
farm, is taken when the farmer be-
gins Iaying his bills with checks on
bank instead of in currency. The
plan is desirable, in itself, from the
fact that the check, after payment,
serves as a receipt for money which
too often passes from hand to hand
without receipt. Many a sum has
been paid twice by either the farmer
or his estate, when the second pay
ment could have been avoided by ref.
erence to a file of checks returned by
the bank. Again, by paying with
checks there is no trouble in making
change, and there is no danger in

INTEREST IN AGRICULTURE
Boys and Girls Show Wonderful
Knowledge Of Farm Topics.

The interest in agricultural educa-
ton prevailing in Mower county was
shown at the county fair recently, in
an exhibit of booklets written by the
boys and girls of the country schools:
Some 800 of these booklets were
shown by the superintendent of
schools. These booklets embrace es-
says, on various farm topics, whose
authors were children of from ten to
fifteen years of age. They were de-
scriptive of cultural methods on the
farm, and gave historical references
to the origin of various grains, vege
tables, stock, etc.; showing, for peo-
pie so young, wonderful knowledge
of the subjects treated, as we'll as con-
siderable artistic taste. But best of
all was the evidence afforded by this
exhibit of interest in agriculture on
the part of the young people.

roses. They were used lavishly at their

Cirrha refused to drink any wine that
was not perfumed with roses. while at
the regatta of Raiae the whole surface
