The g Habit.

Egg eating is usually aided OF
caused by s~oft-shelled eggs. TO pre-
vent this, have a supply Of lime, or
lime plaster, before the fowls where
they can easily get at it and give the
feed in such a manner that the hens
will be compelled to exercise for their
feed.
If once your fowls get into the
habit Of eating eggs, a remedy which
I have found to nswer better than
any other, is to give the hens a supply
of egg-shells for a few days. lnfertilc
eggs that have been set upon by
bcoody hens or that have been re-
moved from the incubator, will an
swer for purpose; or egg-sheils OBJ
tanned from the bakers Or other bust
ness houses where eggs are largely
used. The shells must be given as
whole as possible, not broken, and
the birds must be allowed to surfeit
themselves with them.
After several days Of this the fowls
will not touch cggs again, and the
cure will be complete. But there
must be i large and continuous sup
ply while it lasts, so that the shells
arc lying about the pen all the time,

Remedy For Hoven or BiOat.

The season for hoven or bloat IN
cattle approaches. We see in your

D~erience in this, as q clover and cat

cases, in less than five minutes the

been given relief.

may not all at once, but continue
again and again if necessary until all

An English Idea.

What is known as q dorothy bag"
in England is often made Of a worn
out tall silk hat. Begin by cutting
the hat close to the brim all round,
and then slip off the silk covering; it
will be found to be already in shape
of a convenient bag, and merely in
need of a lining Of colored silk,
which can be made by cutting a disk
the same size as the circle at the
top of the hat, allowing for narrow
turnings. The sides are the same
size and depth as the outer covering,
and the silk lining, being made sepa-
rate, is put inside the outer covering;
the edges of the latter are turned
down an inch and the former turned
in to meet the raw edge and just
cover it. Small brass OF bone rings
are sewn inside, eighteen being
needed, at intervals; a piece of silk
cord is passed through the rings, al
lowing enough to draw up to form
two handles, and it is then sewn to-
gether at the ends, the bag being thus
completed. Old tall hats can fire.

A Bath.

Nothing is so in~vigorating when
tired and warm as a scented bath OF
hot water. In warm weather it proves
particularly refreshing when taken
before dressing for the evening.
The simplest of these baths is made
by adding cologne, toilet water, or
violet ammonia into a quarter OF a
tubful of water.
A good aromatic mixture to keep
on hand is made from two ounces of
tincture of camphor, four ounces of
cologne and an ounce of tincture OF
henzoin. Add enough of this to the
bath water to make it milky.
If you are presented with colognes
or toilet waters that are not especially
fragrant, use them in the bath. The
scent is so faint as not to be disagree
able, and the refreshing qualities are
as great as from more expensive col
ognes.
Another refreshing bath is made
by squeezing the filtered juice Of four
lemons into a quarter of a tubful OF
water.
Where the aromatic bath seems ex-
travagant, or there is no time for 1t,
nut a solution of the mixture given
above into a spray and spray it over
face, neck and arms.-NeW York
Times.

Safe to Hold Radium.

What is described by it's makers
as the most ingenious safe yer con
structed has just been completed by
the Chubb Company, of London, for
the British Radium Corporation. The
problem presented to the manufac-
turers was not only to construct a
safe that would bid defiance to bur-
glars, but which would at the same
time prevent the escape of the "a
dunn.
1t is we'll known to science that ra-
dunn emanations will pass through
the thickest and hardest steel. For
this reason the inner Golfer of the
safe was made of lead three inches
thick, inclosed within a burglar-proof
steel shell. There are many other
special features, including a means
of collecting the radium emanations
before the Golfer is opened.
This compartment of the safe is
designed to hold 400 pounds of IA
dunn valued at 5000, 600, 900. The
total weight of the safe is one and a
half tons.-New York Sun.

Queer Customs.

Curious customs are noted among
the Minus, a little-known Asiatic race,
by an explorer, who writes: Through
living on the borders of Tibet, no
trace of Buddhism is found among
them. Their religion is animistic and
consists in the Precipitation of the
various spirits to whom sickness, fail
ure of crops and such like calamities
are attributed. The Precipitation
takes the form usually of the sacri-
fee of a fowl or a pig, a small portion
being set aside for the spirit, the rest
going down the throats of the offerer
and his family.
THE Minus bury their dead in a
suitable SPOT near the house." the
same traveller continues. "A child
is buried at once, but the corpse OF
an adult is kept in the house from
two to four days. The length of time
intervening between death and burial
depends on the wealth of the de-
ceased-the weather. the man the
longer the period.
"a month or so after burial, when
the deceased relatives have had time
to prepare for it, aAeast is given to
the village. The grave is then opened
and the remains are burnt, the ashes
being left untouched."- Chicago
News.

under the wire to get into the nest
proper she lifts the wire arm up with
her back and thus the other wire arm
back from beneath the door, where it
has been held up under the lid of the
box, letting it drop in place. Blocks
are fastened in front, of the door so
that the door can not be pushed out
and the hen can not escape, no mat
ter how hard she tries. The lid on
top may be made of two separate lids
or as one piece, as you please. With
a little experimenting on your part
you can bend the wire just at the
right angle so that it will work per-
fectly each time. The wire arm over
the opening should be placed high
enough so that the hen will naturally
want to pass under it instead Of trJ-
ing to step over it.
The first compartment should be
from four to six inches longer than
the drop door is high, so the door will
not strike the hen on the back as it is
released.
Each hen should have an aluminium
or copper leg band on one OF her legs
with I number on It. Then as you re-
lease the hen you can put the egg
down to her credit if she has laid n
in the nest. Sometimes the hens will
enter the nest from curiosity, and es-
pecially is this true when the system
is first Installed, but, after they be-
come used to it they will seldom enter
except to lay. To get the hens ac-
quainted with the nest the door may
be propped up for several days.
The trap nest is excellent for sit
ting hens-you can release the hen
to get her feed and trap the door, and
then after she goes back on the nest
she shuts the door after her and other
hens can not enter to bother her or
break her eggs. You a easily catch
the hen that is an egg eater with the
trap nest, as some of the broken esq
will be found in the nest with her.
The other illustration above is a
double nest box for sitting hens; the
method o. fastening the door is
shown by the L-shaped catch. You
will notice that the nest is made quite
Gcep, but does not have to be as long
as the trap nest.-lndianapolis News.

Work Horses al Their Feed.

Bulletin 100 of the Iowa Station
says that it has been found that oats
are too expensive to feed in large
quantities, and that the ration may
be greatly cheapened by substituting
oil meal, cotton seed meal, or gluten
feed. The health, spirit and endur-
ance of the horses was the same when
Ced corn in combination with one Of
these feeds as when oats were fed.
These experiments show that oil meal
may be worth as much as $50 a ton
for horse feeding, and cottonseed
meal a little more. The horses did
4 hard summers work OIL these feeds
without any considerable loss in flesh.
TheSe experiments are Of great value
to farmers everywhere, as the ques-
lion of feeding the work horses cheap
~, and at the same time in such a
way as to keep them in good flesh, is

Feeding Young Pigs.

the SOW too rich a feed when pigs
were small. It will u them to be-
come so fat they will die in the nest
at times. Sometimes it will give
them the thumps, and sometimes the
scours. The safest feed when the
pigs are young that 1 have eve tried
is simply wheat bran, not a very
strong feed you may say, but if you
give 4 moderate suficiency it will fur
nish milk, and the pigs don't seem to
get too fat. neither thump nor scour.
The pigs will not be as plump as when
sow is fed a richer ration, but they
are more likely to live after they get
started. Begin on the richer feed

Method Of Treating Seed Grain.

The method of treating the seed
grain is very simple, so simple in fact,
that there is no reason why it should
not be universally employed. A pint
of formaldehyde, which costs about
fifty cents, is poured into a barrel con-
tanning some forty gallons of water.
phe oat seeds, which are placed in
gunny sacks, are let down into this
barrel and allowed to soak IN the
diluted chemical solution for some
minutes. They are then taken out
and dried, after which they are ready
for sowing without any further treat
ment. Thus the cost to the farmer
is scarcely more than a cent a bushel;
which is certainly very little when
compared with the destructiveness OF
the blight and the great loss which it

Scented Sheets.

1t is said that lavender scented
sheets induce slumber. Whether that
is true or not, it is certain that to lie
down in bed after a lovely refreshing
bath in sheets that have a delicate
scent of lavender about them is most
refreshing and luxurious. 1t does not
cost much to have this luxury and it is
within the possibility of almost every
~housekeeper to have in her linen
closet several little finely cut pack
ages of dried lavender leaves. These
can be bought upon che street almost
any time. Put the little packages be-
tween the sheets, pilloWcases, towels

will be enjoyed by all who S your

In the case Of men, the beard is IN.
d%oubtedly the greatest aid to cis'
guise. But great ARE has to be
taken, for if too striking an appear
ance were given to the subject the
whole purpose of the scheme would
be defeated. In our art the whole
secret of success lies in not attem pit
ing too much. There is no particular
kind of beard. AS a rule, it has to be
thin. and is usually of a lighter hue
than the hair.
Besides altering the complexion,
the use of slightly smoked glasses
often helps greatly toward a good dis
guise. Alterations a also be made
in the arch and color of the eye
brows; and, talking Of eyebrows, you
would be surprised if you only knew
how often we have to paint out black
eyes.
Of course, with certain persons Il
is useless for us to attempt a disguise
solely by working on the face. Atten-
ton has to be paid to the contour OF
the back and shoulders; while some
times the use Of a towel or two ovet

Cabbage For Poultry.

The best vegetable for feeding hens
Is cabbage, for it is succulent and
contains the largest amount OF ash
and protein Of all vegetables.
We hang them up just so the hens
can pick them clean to the stump.
The greatest difficulty is in keeping
eabbages in good condition through
the winter. Few methods have been
successful with us. We have tried
piling in the barn and covering with
hay, but they sweat so easily that rot
soon begins. Burying in a trench in
the garden was only partially a sue
cess. A cool cellar with the cabbage
on shelves or hung from the joist has
given us the best results. The late
flat Dutch gives the most feed and re-
quires the least work to raise.-M.
