How 10 Tend Chicks.

When chicks are from twenty-four
to thirty-six hours old they are ready
to be moved from the incubators to
the brooder house. Put them in
hovers nearest the furnace. Be sure
to have heat up in hovers at least
twelve hours before the chickens are
put in, to insure the hovers to be
warm and dry. There should be dry
sand well sprinkled over hover floors,
or some road dust; sand is the best
Let the chickens alone until they are
thirty-six hours old, then feed them
some oatmeal well rubbed up in the
hands. Feed this for few days. also
some green evaporated bonemeal and
chicken grit. Give water and milk in
fountains, made by inverting some
tin fruit cans over saucers, first cut
ting notch In the edge of the can
about one-quarter of an inch deep.
Such fountain will keep chicks dry
and the drink will be kept clean.
When chicks are a few days old begin
to feed a chicken food containing
meat and grain. Feed FIVE or six
times daily. On the south side of the
brooder house have roomy yards sown
to rape for chicks when they are a
week old to run in, and also provide
rape for cutting and feeding them
later on when the yard rape is used
up. This method OF rearing chickens
is more of pleasure than work. Use
plenty Of whitewash in houses; put
1t on with compressed air sprayer--
that is the best thing for the purpose.
Fill every crack and crevice that can
be filled in this way and the Job is
quickly done. During warm months
spray yards and hovers with sulphuric
acid and water. Four ounces of the
acid to three gallons of water. This
will destroy all vermin and their
eggs. Most cases OF cholera are only
lice and mites sapping the life out of
the chickens, Warm houses for the
winter layers can be built quite
cheapiy OF rough lumber, and lib
eral use of heavy tarred paper will
make frost-proof houses. - Newark

Woman and Love.

One thing that the generalizsrs
never take into consideration (ros-
sibly because they do not know it.,
and generally because they are men
or old-fashioned women) is the enor-
nous percentage of non-maternal
women. Whether this was the case
in ancient times, or whether it is the
gradual result of education and
leisure, increased independence and
the facilities for knowing men before
marriage, cannot say, but the fact
remains that thousands of women
that are married ought not to be; are
the dutiful mothers of children whom
they secretly regard as enemies. They
have married In their springtime be-
cause tradition and youthful instinct
(nothing is more evanescent) sug-
gested it. There was time, happily
passing, when the collocation "old
maid" was almost a term of insult;
when it was even a matter OF pride
to be young grandmother. There is
no possible doubt that whether wom-
en- get the vote soon or late, this di-
vision of their sex will come early
and more early to the conclusion that
the less they have to do with love the
happier they will be.-Gertrude
Atherton, in Harper's Bazaar.

such tools as are to be used during

Mrs. Roosevelt.

Mrs. Roosevelt wears wonderfully
well. One could not guess from her
appearance that she will next year
be entitled to silver wedding presents
and congratulation. Her eldest son
is to be married on her return to the
States. Her appearance is extremely
agreeable. What is so remarkable
in her face is its exceptional capacity
to show pleasure in lighting up. The
features are of regular proportion
and we'll modelled and bear out her
claim to French acknowledgement
by the way. The deep commissures
are distinctly French and may be
thought to denote a sense cf the
ridiculous finer than that of the ex-
President. Her comeliness is refined.

Roots of corn spread over an area

of oats, wheat or clover. Root sys-
TENS of unlike crops are variable in
their construction and plant food
made available one season is apt to
be lost in drainage water unless
various crops are grown in rotation
on the same area. Remember, the
soil is a compound which can be ex-
hausted of its components used by
plants as food. Plow under one crop
every four years to supply nitrogen;
buy phosphorus in the form of rock
phosphate, and plow and cultivate
well to release potassium. Big crops
will result, and the soil will remain
productive.

Farm Profits.

The farm of the Jarvis brothers, at
Fly Creek, in Otsego County, has be-
come a subject of controversy. A
correspondent of one of the agricul-
tural papers summed up what the
Jarvis brothers have been doing. and
stated that with an investment of
$4,000, only $4,000 of it in real es-
tate, forty-five head of cattle, $500
worth of farm help year and insur-
ance and taxes of only $50 a year, the
jarvis brothers make an annual profit
above all expenses of S545O.
Incredible" exclaims a ioubter,
who merely forces the correspondent
to proceed to prove his words. The
correspondent adds, truly enough.
that there are other dairymen who,
with modest investments, are doing a
good deal better than the Jarvis
brothers. He doesn't need to quote
the classic case of the Rev. Josiah
DIETRICH who some years ago bought
a fifteen-acre farm near Philadelphia,
with a mortgage of $1,000, paid off
the mortgage in six years, and made
that piece of ground provide rough
age for thirty head of stock, which
yielded $1,000 year for the sale Of
milk alone. The DIETRICH COWS gave
but 4S00 pounds of milk on the aver
age year. The Jarvis cows are said
to average 10000 pounds.
Mr.. DIETRICH became so famous that
visitors overran his little plot of
ground and he had to sell 1t. but

so rare now as it was then.-Syracuse

A firm in Ohio has invented a new
kind of plow that will stir the soil to
a depth of twelve or sixteen inches
without using any more power than
is required TO run an ordinary six
teen-inch plow six or seven inches
deep. This firm claims that it has a
principle involved in the construction
of its "tilling" machine which makes
It possible to absolutely guarantee
that this can be done. II such is the

generally are coming to believe that
