Scratching Shed Shade.

thrown, that the fowls may have the
needed exercise. The amount of cold
that hens will endure and continue to
lay II kept busy exceeds belief.
The roof, of course, must be tight,
as no moisture must be allowed in the
litter The roof should be long one
to the north, with short one sloping
south. Under the caves of the
southern roof is nailed a sheet the
entire length and wide enough to
cover the open front. This is made
OF burlap or old bran sacks, and in
a loop at the bottom rests light
pole to keep it down so the wind and
snow may be excluded at night. AS
soon as the sun is up in the morning
1t is rooled up and tied to ropes under
the caves. In spring and summer
these scratching sheds are not re-
CURED, and are employed in raising
large focks of chickens.
1t is best to begin by setting
brooder in one corner of each, in
which to raise IS or 100 incubator
chicks, and this net-faced house is
their home, with yard attached,
until cold weather, when they are
changed to fiocks for layers or fatten-
ing. The scratching sheds are then
in requisition again. 1t is not difficult
to build them in sections that may be
taken apart and moved readily from
one part of the grounds to another.
The heaviest section is the floor, but
this is managed easily Oh two wheel
barrows.

Dollar PRODUCING Hoo.

We can safely say that the major.
ity of pork producers believe more in
type than in color or breed, says a
writer in an Exchange. They are
more interested in the dollar-produc
ing capacity of hog than in his an
eestry or good looks.
After viewing the whole situation
have decided that the hog men Of
our country have reached a common
ground, where they can in unity do.
line an ideal type of rapid-maturing
most profitable pork hog.

the patient beasts sliding about OH
slippery streets in desperate and oft
en- vain efforts to keep their feet, will
hope that the invention is financial
success. The horseshoe has a series
OF parallel ridges on its heel and toe
portions. The ridges on the toe por
ton run parallel to the longitudinal
axis of the shoe and those on the heel
portion run transversely. These ridges
form a series of recesses adapted to
receive and retain snow or dirt. thus
forming bearing surface for the
shoe and making the horse surer Of
his footing. Running in opposite di.
reotions, as they do, the corrugations
act as sort of brake in whichever
way the animals feet may happen to
slip and the whole effect is to prevent
snow or dirt "caking' on the fiat of
the shoe.

LOSS IN PREPARING APPLES
Quite Considerable Amount Is Lost
by improberIy Picking and
Packing the Crop.
BY r. B. RUsHING.1

(BY r. B. RUsHING1
The best method have ever tried IL
picking into baskets. These baskets
should be about half.bushel round
baskets with drop handles.
The baskets should be smooth on the
inside-that is, free from strips
around the inside or bottom. They
should be lined with burlap to pre-.
vent bruising, and a short iron hook
should be attached to the handle to
suspend the basket from the limbs. SC
as to enable the picker to use both
hands.
The great advantage in using the
basket ! find lies largely in the fact
that if the apples are carefully placed
IN the same they are not bruised.
The worst objections | have to the
baskets are that they are not so handy
as the sack and that sometimes care.
less pickers are disposed to toss ap.
pies into them as they set upon the
ground or hang upon limb a few
feet away.
MY experience is that apples packed
from the table and Immediately placed
in cold storage (if they are to be nut
into cold storage) will give by far the
better results.
This method adds two to four
months to the keeping qualities of the
fruit.
You cannot afford to let your fruit
lie under the trees or in building
for two or three weeks before YOU
barrel
Every days delay in packing and
shipping will lose you money and DUAL
lty in your fruit, and if you are moi
the loser the party who buys it is.
Fruit grown in warm latitude or
harvested during warm September
or October must be quickly handled.
But when properly handled at picking
time, as | have suggested there will
not be much room for complaint.
A good barrel is essential if YOU
wish to store your fruit have it keen
lack of good cooperage.
A tight barrel is the best, and the
better it is made the better results
you will have, There will be less loss
rom shrinkage of fruit, from rats and
nice and other causes.
In my orchard | have eight pickers
ind six sorters and barrelers in each
rang. A good strong table, construct.
I'd of light, strong material, is pro.
'ided
This table is set in the center of 16
rees; sometimes, If the fruit is
carce and the trees are very small
he table is set in the center of "a
Il Sc trees
Four or six rows are carried forward {
t once and the table is moved along
he center rows and set in the middle |
+ the square at each move.
| usually have one man that nails
le hoops, the head liners, and takes l
ut the heads of barrels, as it prevents
ISIS in shipping and facilities in the !
and inspection of fruit in Q
orage
If you have good fruit and it is worth t.

again.
Instead. however, of delivering this
message as given. the Hare, either out
OF forgetfulness or malice. told man

away. SO man should die and rise ma

The Hare, having returned to tho
Moon, was questioned as 10 the mes

heard the true state of the case, be-

Some Wholesome
Advice Given to Wives

4
Margaret sangster, in the January
number OF Woman's Home Companion,
gives some wholesome advice to wives,
when she says:
Whatever you do. don't nag or sulf.
A wife who goes about with the air
Of martyr winter-kills her happi-
ness. Don't be inconsolable when your
husband tarries late at the office and
keeps the dinner waiting. Don't object
to his bringing home guests un-
announced, If they arrive with him
Unexpectedly, don't apologize for the
house or the. meal or. the children or
anything else. Put on extra plates and
cups and let them share pot luck"
Don't have Dills, If you can help
yourself. Pay as you go, and do. per-
suade your husband to give you a
definite housekeeping allowance from
the beginning of your housekeepil. s,
Don't be afraid of the maid. Thousands
of US are in awe of this parsonage
and she has unfortunately discovered
1T and behaves accordingly.
What Home Should BE.
The home is more than shelter,
more than a museum, more than a
place for eating and sleeping and more
than furniture warehouse. 1t is the
repository of joys and sorrows, the
asylum from the whole world outside,
for the family who dwells within Its
gates Two persons have chosen each
other as life comrades, and between
them they have made a home. I re-
peat to both. If you would have happi-
ness In this closest and most sacred
relation,<a relation which ought to be
permanent and sacramento, avoid tho
first quarrel, n there never Is a first
there will never be Il second. Resolve,
If there Is friction, to keep 1t to your.
selves, and commonplace as the counsel
is, do not let a quarrel last overnight
Life is too uncertain, too full of risks,
and there are too slany possible heart
aches for the most fortunate, to make
it safe for wife and husband ever to
part in anger, Though the parting be
but for day, let it be in peace and
love. On the whole, those whose means
are moderate, who must work to-
gether, plan together and save together
are to be congratulated,

What Kaufman Has to Say
on Art of Remaining Young

Reginald Wright Kaufman, who is
writer, with a flavor of bitter, but
not of vicious sincerity about him, has
written an article, in the January
Smart Set, on the art of "RemaininS
Young" some paragraphs of which
might be read and remembered with
advantage by women,
Among other things, he says that
when woman voluntarily lies So
him about her age. he suspects her
of all possible deceptions; for If she
should be menda cious about her birth,
he feels doubts as to her figure and
her integrity. He speaks of women
like that as being of "a certain age,
when he really means to imply that
they are of an age uncertain, better
known among the French as "a rcas-
enable age"
Mr., Kaufman goes on to point out
that in considering debutantes, the
only sure deduction is that the girl
who buds early will blow late. On
the contrary ne believes that women
of THE age reasonable" will not con-
fuse attentions with intentions, even
while they cannot be wholly trusted
with their years; for although most
bellies of forty are not so bad as they
are painted every one assumes male
ignorance of the fact that all is not
young that filters, Queen Elizabeth,
playing the coquette on the brink of
the grave, was no whit better than
Constantine the Great, changing the
color of his wig from day to day, the
cut of his garments from hour to
hour
The quality that makes youth low
able is the quality that makes lovable
old age, continues Mr.. Kaufman. You
viii not find it, now that 1t has es-
capped you, unless YOU heed Thoreaus
warning against hurry; you will not
approach It, unless you remember
Sshopenhauer's counsel against boro-,
dom; you will not overtake it, un-
less you attend upon Jean Pauls plea
for the enjoyment of consciousness;
YOU will not recognize it when you
have caught 1t, unles. unlike buffou's
oak, the years have not hardened
your heart
