POULTRY NOTES.

All poultry that are not pure-bred
are not scrubs.
Generally hen with nice, clean
cut head and full. bright eye Will
be a good layer.
Cleanliness in every part OF the
roultry-house is of the utmost impor-
lance with fowls in confinement.
Generally when the comb of fowl
is bright colored. showing 1t to be
full of blood, the fowl is in healthy
condition and usually active.
1t is well to consider what is the
best treatment for the fowls while
they are passing through the molt.
Some farmers allow the young stock
to roost outdoors during the summer
and II is important that such birds
be at once placed in their winter quar-
tiers.
II is as difficult to name the best
breed of fowls as 1t is to name the
best breed of hogs or sheep. or the
best make OF corn planter or cream
separator.
Cornmeal mixed with skim-milk.
and fed three times day, all the
fowls will eat. Is the best fattening
diet have ever tried. Feed warm In
cold. weather.
Ducks should not be allowed to run
with the hens during melting. SO that
as the number of hens not melting
decreases they should be confined
with the cocks.
Do not allow inferior cabbage, pota-
toes and beets to freeze; store them
for the hens. The time is near when
thew will need such feeds as add sue
culence to the ration.

We know OF no instrument that will
induce the COW to give down her milk.
says Hoard's Daifyman. The holding
up Of milk is invariably due to some
condition OF the animal Sometimes 1t
its done when the calf is first taken
away, and at other times through dis
turbance caused by Ill treatment or
strange conditions.
Kindness will usually overcome this
act of the COW, especially feeding her
grain at the time of milking. making
her forget the things that are disturb
ing her and causing her to hold up
her milk.

Benny on Benevolenee.

Benevolence is great thing. When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other
day my mamma went up into the attic
to find lot of old clothes to give
to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothing for themselves.
While she was hunting around she
found a gold-headed cane worth $25
that grandpa had put up there IS
years ago. and forgot all about. Thus
we see. dear friends. benevolence

despaired of ever seeing her again.
Her grief was so great that she could
neither sleep nor eat, and she besought
Flora, the goddess of the flowers. to
help her. Flora appealed to Somnus
one of the gods. and with his aid cre-
ated a flower which possessed narcotic
qualities. After partaking of a liquid
distilled from the seed of this plant
Ceres fell into a deep sleep.
According to the traditions of the
ancient Greeks. this was the origin of
the poppy. Ceres adopted the flower
for her own, and poppy seeds were
planted with the corn and wheat to
propitate the goddess of agriculture
and to prevent her from destroying the
crops should she become angered. The
flower was called provarer rhaea or
corn rose, and Ceres is represented
crowned with poppies and beaded
wheat.
AN EAST INDIAN LEGEND
According to an Indian legend there
lived on the banks of the Ganges an
ancient dervish, who had pet mouse
of which he was So fond that he en-
dowed it with the gift of speech. A
mouse in such a state of terror that
the sage changed it into dog The
animal was still discontented. and was
transformed into an ape then to boar
then to an elephant, and finally into
beautiful maiden, whom the dervish
named PoStomani or Poppyseed
One day as she was in the garden
the king passed. Attracted by the
beauty of the maiden he returned and
insisted upon knowing her name and
parentage. Postomani told him that
she was a princess who had been left
In the care of the wise man when a
child. The king was so much in love
that he did not stop to question the
truth of her story, but insisted upon
being married at once by the dervish.
They lived happily, until one day
she was standing by a we'll and be-
coming dizzy, fell in and was drowned.
In order to reconcile the king to her
loss the dervish told him that she was
not OF royal birth, but had been a
mouse, dog, an ape, etc. and he gave
directions that the well should be filled
with earth without removing the bodv
anu he said that out Of her grave a
plant should grow from which would
De obtained drug. and whoever should
use this drug would be endowed with
one quality of each of the animals into
which Postomani had been transformed.
He should be mischievous like the
mouse, savage like the dog, filthy like
the ape wild like the boar, and slow
like the elephant
AS THE ANCIENTS KNEW 1T
The narcotic qualities of the plant
were recognized very early by the an
cients. Hypos the god of sleep, and
Thanatos. the god of death, were both
hands
The youths and maidens Of both
Greece and Rome used poppy leaves to
test the sincerity of their loves. A
leaf or the flower was placed in the
pa I'm of the left hand. If. upon being
smartly struck with the right hand. it
snapped with a sharp sound the loved
one was faithful; If it failed to make
any noise, alas! Theocritus alludes to
this custom:

Your changed affection for it gave
