While 1t would be difficult to say
just when visiting cards were first
used, we are quite certain of the fact
that they are not of very ancient date.
Apparently they were adopted in
English society before they were gen
orally used on the continent. 1t was
probably about 100 that they came
into fashion in Great Britain, and it
was as late as ITO when they were
introduced in Paris. 1t appears that

Floors of Poultry Houses.

The floor of poultry house is a
subject that is very interesting to all
poultry raisers and is also one that
is attracting more attention now than
formerly, says American Poultry Ad-
vocator.
Your variety of floor depends Who'll
ly upon the location of your building.
U. R. Fishel says: Every house on
'Fishelton' is provided with pine
flooring. Cement floors are failure,
while earth floors are nuisance.
Nothing can equal the pine floor COW
cred with straw for the birds to work
in" Mr.. Fishel's idea of poultry
house floors is based entirely on the
conditions surrounding his houses.
He must have some other floor than
an earth one, as his location is very
damp one.
E. B. Thompson, of Armenia, N. Y,
uses nothing but earth floors, as he
is on an upland where board or ce-
ment floors are unnecessary So,
therefore, one man says to use ca-
ment floors. another says to use
boards as cement is too cold, while
still another says that neither boards
nor cement are of any use, but to use
nothing but earth for floors.
Personally, l have used all three
and find that cement floor, covered
over with six or seven inches of fine
loan, is an ideal floor. The rats

English "Bootsr For America.

The export of boots from Leicester
to the United States is the subject Of
a report by the American consul at
Nottingham, who describes the de-
perture as "a novelty in the export
trade of that district"
The last shipment comprised over
1000 pairs, valued at about $500.
The shipments are said to be the re-
suit of the lowered duty in the United
States tariff law, and the consul
quotes statement that the new trade
affords gratifying proof that there
are British manufacturers who can

The Whole Cheese.

A Scotsman was hired by a
Cheshire farmer. At breakfast one
of the famous cheeses of the county
was set before him. His master left
the Scot at table, and later, when he
appeared for work, said to him:

breakfast"
"Troth, MASTER" replied the Scot,

Mutton Breeds Pay.

Farmers who keep mutton breeds
of sheep do not complain that sheep
do not pay. 1t is the farmer who
makes speciality of wool, and who
sends to market sheep no larger than
lambs, who does not find profit In
sheep. Young lambs alone give good
profits, and often bring more in the
market than matured sheep and its
wool, but such lambs are of the
quick-maturing and excellent mutton
breeds. -Epitomist.
