A Useful Pen.

Little chicks come as many cock
erels as pullets. Few roosters are fit
to save, and all the rest are good only
to eat, so take them from hens, put
them in pens, and turn them into
dough by turning dough into them.
An old packing box makes a fine pen,
Get one without lid about three OF
four feet square for six or eight roos
ters. Knock off one side, and here
an inch and half apart nail laths
from one end of the box to the 9TH

Droppings fall through to the ground
after four legs are nailed to the box,
one at each corner. Now nail laths
three inches apart across the front,
only leaving enough space for a small
door, so as to reach the hand and
arm in and pull them out. A good
trough or pan should be fastened
outside the coop near enough for the
roosters to poke their heads through

to find Il. The daughter laughed to
think of the grandmother running
from pincushion to parlor vase, from
teapot to chair-cushion, each time
finding note telling where to go
next.
II should think Grandmother Bell
would have been dizzy" she thought.
At last, when she found the dress
ing-sack in the front bedroom, she
said to the girl mother, THE shades
are up and the sun is fading the
carpet. How long has that been like
that? The dressing-sack is all well
enough, but don't ever leave the
shades up again like that"
After finishing the diary, the
daughter sat still on the hearth-rug
for long time. She thought of all
she had read and learned of the
cheerless life that must have been
her mothers, of her sensitive tenn
permanent, her love of the beautiful,
and the austere Grandmother Bell.
The words kept repeating themselves
in her mind, Perhaps they won't
care!"-the girls whom she had
planned to do so much for.
The daughter suddenly realized
how much the mother had done fer
her one girl, what a dear, lovely,
charming mother she was, taken al
ways as a matter of course. She felt
now that she never had appreciated
her, she had been like Grandmother
Bell. Tears came to her eyes and
rolled unheeded down her cheeks,
staining their pink roundness. She
looked at the picture of the mother
on fathers desk, mother in her we'd
ding-gown, as she was at the begin
ming of a newer and happier life.
She clasped the little books against
her wet cheek. Dear girl mother"
she said, softly. 'T do love you"
Suddenly she rose and went in
search of father. Along the halls
she crept softly, quickly, as If she
feared some one would steal away
the beautiful thoughts that kept
crowding into her mind. Father was
in his workshop, in the basement,
where he liked to think he made
things, and where he framed pictures
sometimes, and had a good time.
She opened the door, filled with the
thoughts of her mother, and went
to him.
Father" she said, softly, her eyes
still bright with the tears of her
emotion. He did not hear her at
first. When she called again, and
laid her face against his shoulder,
he looked up. He put his arm round
her and drew her to him.
Father" she said, again. This
time there was a little break in her
voice. II have read the books, and
can't I-can't we-oh, let us do some
thing for mother-quick!" 1.-THE

THE Third GENERATION
BY Leila Nj. Church.

The mothers face grew sober a
trihe.
Shall l go right up, mother? I
want to get into something comfort
able"
Yes, dear. Father will carry your
bag"
The father and mother exchanged
a very knowing glance. The daugh-
ter started for the stairs, and they
eagerly, trying to appear unobtrusive
and above suspicion, followed. At the
first fight he put down the bag, and
they finished the last fight at a gall
lop, close at the heels of the daugh-
ter.
Hand in hand, with pleased, ex-
pectant smiles, they stood in the door
way, peering in as the daughter en-
tered. The fireplace, where a small
log was cheerily burning, sent cut a
soft glow, aided by the candles on
the dressing-table. The dull frames
of the pictures sparkled bravely in
places. One chair was drawn COM

snowy and tempting, with its fittings
beautifully embroidered with the
monogram of the daughter.
They watched her stand, amazed,
and look slowly around the room.
Turning suddenly, she saw them
there in the doorway.
How awfully nice!" she said, af-
ter silence that was breathless on
the part of those without. "Why,

Horses are placing mankind daily
under everlasting obligations to them,
says Secretary Pershing, of the South
Bend Und.) Humane Society, but
how cruelty and thoughtlessly are
they repaid by those who are most
Indebted to them. A horse is a noble
ANIMAL patient, kind-hearted, self
sacrificing, willing to work till he
dies in his tracks, uncomplaining, a
lover of kind treatment, and who is
willing to work whole lifetime with
no other compensation than his bed
and board.
OF the many things which make
the daily life of a horse miserable,
two are binders and the tight check
rein, the worst parts of horses har-
ness. Very many people believe that
they are part and parcel of a horse
and that he would not be a horse
without them.
The majority of horses could read
lily dispense with blinders, and all
could if they had never been invented.
Binders were first used by a noble
man in England to hide a defect on
his horses head, and later were found
excellent locations for the displaying
Of his coat-of-arms.
A horses head was never intended
for binders, for his eyes are so set
in his head that he can see behind
him without turning his head and, of
course, the blinders deprive him of
seeing the very things he should see
for his own safety as we'll as his
drivers. A horses eye is a beautiful
object, and 1t is shame to cover 1t.
Whenever l see a man driving q
horse without blinders / always feel
like stopping him and shaking hands
with him. A horses head is the best
part of him and should have on II as
little harness as possible.
Another instrument of torture to
horse Is the tight check-rein. 1t is
responsible for poll evil, Assesses,
sprung knees, paralysis and disorders
OF the brain and muscles. II spolls

Poultry Hints.

As garden ground gets dug or
plowed spring eggs will be more and
more plentiful, and, further. will
hatch better-if you let hens and
roosters have run on newly turned
earth. Among fruit trees after fork
ing around roots is good scratching
for fowls and also helps trees. Fowl
running on any piece of rough ground
or poor pasture improves same. A
lady makes birds pay we'll by letting
them through hole in the fence to
a run on an adjoining wood pasture
some one else's-where cows are fed
daily. Bread pills crammed into the
craw fatten fowls quickly. This is a
lot of trouble and only good where a
man has hundreds fattening for mar
ket. Cramming may be done by hand
or machine, and the good, well-fatted
birds bring big prices and more or
ders, for their meat is tender and
tasty. Young fowls are best. Old
birds simply get belly-fat.-New York

Hints For Mixers.

Remember that you are dealing
with living machine, and that there
fore kind and quiet treatment will
produce more milk with less trouble
than harsh methods.
The machine can only work at its
best when properly handled. Every
drop OF milk should be drawn, for
only by this means will the udder be
induced to work at full pressure. and
give supply of the richest milk, It
should also be borne In mind that the
last milk Is the richest.
Observe cleanliness in all things.
Make sure that the milking utensils
are above reproach. Cleanse tno
cows udder and your own hands be-
fore commencing 10 milk.
Draw the milk by pressure, not by
the stripping method. Carry out the
operation. as quickly as possible, re-
membering that generally a good
mixer Is fast one and that the COW
is liable to become impatient after a
time.
Pay attention to the cows health,
II her teats are sore, II there is any
dIscoloration or unusual feature
about the milk, do not mix II with the
rest.
Take care that the buildings IN
Which milking Is carried on are well

The Farm Milk House.

In recent article in Hoard's Dairy
man Professor Harrington, the WE'LL
known writer on dairy topics. gives the
following good suggestions on farm
milk houses. He says that the laws
of the State of Wisconsin at the pres
ent time do not permit the keeping
of hand separator in the COW stable.
1t must be placed in a separate build
Ing or in room partitioned off from
the COW stable.
Plans for building small milk
houses have been given in dairy pa.
pers and the catalogues of dairy SUP.
ply firms.
AT farms where a hand separator
Is used and the cream sold, n small
milk house will answer every pur-
pose. One large enough to give
space for the separator and water
tank, through which the water is
pumped directly from the well and
then to the stock tank, is all that ia
needed.
The question has arisen as to the
adyisability of placing a gasolene en-
CINE, when this is used as a farm
power, in this milk house. There is
little danger of communicating the
cream from the odor of the engine,
II this is we'll taken care of and the
exhaust from the engine is tightly
connected to a pipe which leads out
side the building.
The cooling of the cream as Il
comes from the separator is absolute
ly necessary. II should be brought
to near fifty degrees as soon as posi-.
BILE after separating. then placed In
cans and these allowed to stand in
a tank OF cold water until the cream
is collected by cream haulers.

tion to these pieces OF apparatus.
some sort OF a boiler for furnishing
hot water and a wash sink, these can
be included In the same building, but
II is advisable to place the boiler in a
separate room.
II is important that the milk house
be built with a cement floor and
cemented corners from the floor up
the walls for at least one foot. This
gives sanitary surface which can

aired and free from avoidable dust.
Fresh air and sunlight should be con.
stantly admitted. and litter or food
should not be handled during the
milking hour.
Be punctual. The COW knows as
we'll as you when the hour has arrived
for milking, and delay will not only
cause a diminution of her yield, but
also decrease of fat percentage.
Milk at as nearly even intervals Of
time as possible. A good deal of at.
tention has been given to this ques-
tion, and It has been found that milk
poor in fat is very largely the result
OF allowing too long an interval to
elapse between milkings. But what
ever hours are chosen see that they
are very strictly adhered to.
Observance of these rules should
lead to the largest amount of milk,
with the greatest proportion of but
ter fat, at a minimum of trouble to

The Cows and Alfalfa.

It Is the experience of dairymen
that alfalfa is far superior to timothy
hay for cows, and that they may be
fed all the alfalfa hay they will con-
sumo, and that a mixture consisting
of 400 pounds of ground corn; 800
pounds of bran or oats supplements
the alfalfa very well. Seven or eight
pounds of this combination is suffi-
cient to produce one pound of fat
when fed with all the good alfalfa
hay an animal will consume. II the

The daughter was conscious Of
queer little thrills of interest as she
read of these things, little intimate
manners and tender caresses, when
they were new and strange and won
derful. 1t was like the most entranc-
ing love story.
And to think 1t was father and
mother! II made ones heart grow

with smile, as she read an eloquent
account OF a charming necktie he

now why mother and father each
must ever be young to the other.

dreamily into the fire. New thoughts,
new ideas came into her mind.
What very fascinating girl mother
must have been!" she said, aloud.
For long time she thought deeply
over what she had read. Precious
indeed they must seem to father,
these books.
After a while she opened the other
diary, written before father had ap-
peared in her life. Grandmother
Bell, whom the daughter had stood
in awe of most of her life, figured

She felt that she never understood
before how lonely her mother had
been as a girl, although she had al
ways known that her childhood had
not been particularly happy. She
could see why she had been so lonely

Transplanting the Red Cedar.

The red cedar of our woods and
meadows forms much prettier tree
under cultivation than It does in its
wild state. Sharing the fate of all
trees under like conditions, 1t is much
more esteemed in Europe than 1t is
here, nurserymen there growing 1t
as one of the chief kinds in their
grounds. So much attention has
been accorded it that numerous varie-
ties of it have been discovered and
propagated, some of such upright
character as to resemble an Irish ju-
niper, others with steel blue foliage.
AS many as a half dozen distinct va
rieties are known, and, funnier than
all is the fact that our rich folks are
buying these sorts to decorate their
grounds. To many persons the at
tempt to transplant these trees from
their wild homes to their gardens
meets with i'll success. OF course,
wild plants have but few roots, be-
cause of never having been trans
planted, which calls for great care in
their removal. No evergreen, trans
planted or not, will suffer its roots to
become dry without injury. 1t should
be the first consideration when lift
ing them from the ground to see that
the roots are kept damp until they
are again in the ground. Trees of
about two or three feet are the safest
to transplant. Get all the roots possi-
BILE, keep them damp, and plant again
as soon as possible. lie the soil that
is thrown in over the roots be as fine
and dry as possible, so that it will
work its way around the roots nicely,
then when the hole is half filled up,
pour in water, two or three bucket
fuls, filling in the remainder of the
soil lightly after the water has all
soaked away. 1t Is a help towards
success to prune the branches well,
but no evergreen should have its
branches cut back below it's green
foliage, for they will not break fresh
shoots from bare wood as deciduous
trees and shrubs will. In the colder
States transplanting of all evergreens
is best done in spring, but our South
ern friends could do the work at any
time when there is no freezing of the
soil; and they could not find prettier
wild evergreens than the red cedar.
