Poultry Pickings.

Eggs should be graded and the small
and Ill shaped used for cooking pur-
poses. None but the brightest and best
should be placed upon the market or
used for incubation.
Pigeons are becoming more popular
and game birds are getting scarce.
Pigeons require very little attention
when preparations are made for them.
SQUAD raising is profitable when fol-
lowed intelligently. Why not try a
few pigeons?
Great care is necessary in collecting
eggs intended for incubation. The
poultryman should always know the
parents of the offspring. and for this
reason a record should be kept of both
hens and cockerel. This is the only
way to breed good fowls.
Beginners at poultry keeping tend to
overfeed their chickens during the win
ter-too much grain and too little ami
NAL food and green food. Fowls re-
quire each of these three kinds of food
all the year round in order to keep in
vigorous health. and II they are over
fed or underfed with either one there
is apt to be loss in vitality that shows
itself in diminished egg production.

Chanued His Mind.

When Representative Brown was
practicing law at Newton be fell out
with the district judge over some trivi-
al matter one day the court wanted
him as a witness in case and sent
the sheriff after him.
Just tell the judge 10 go to -"
said Brown when the sheriff told him
to come to court.
"All right" said the sheriff.
The latter wheeled around and start
ed toward the courthouse. Brown
turned and looked at him. The longer
he looked the more convinced was he
he had made a mistake. So he started
after the sheriff. But the sheriff was
too fast for him and reached the court
room unmOleSted
May it please the court" said the
sheriff, MIR, Brown told me to tell
the court to go to -"
Just then Brown rushed through the
door to the courtroom, and before any
thing could be said or done by the
judge Brown remarked:
MAY it please your honor. l have
changed my mind. You needn't go
I'll testify"
The incident caused so much merri-
ment that the staid old judge forgot
the insult and ordered Brown to the
witness stand to testify.-Kansas City

A Beautiful Hope For You.

Every day is a new beginning;
Every morn is the world made new.
Ye who are weary Of sorrow and SHINING.
Here is a beautiful hope for you,
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over.
The tasks are done, and the tears are
shed.
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover.
Yesterdays wounds which smarted and
bled
Are healed with the healing which night
hath shed.
Every day is a fresh beginning.
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain
And spite Of old sorrow and older SHINING
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain
Take heart with the day and begin again
Only the new days are our own
Today is ours. and today alone.

Any Boy Handy at Carpentering Can
Do 1t and Wait For Christmas.
In almost every household there is
some one who is handy with tools,
says the American Agriculturist.
To prove its assertion it prints the
following story by James B. Duncan
and a picture that shows the result of
painstaking effort
bookcase large enough to hold 100
books is an adOrnment to any house
hold, and the youngSter who is clever
enough to gather in some nice bits Of
pine wood and then tackle the tool
box in the barn will be sure to have
something extra from mother in his
Christmas stocking.
Here are the rules to follow:
In the use Of all edge tools, if you
would avoid cracks and splitting, be
patient and do not attempt to remove
wood too rapidly, although the tools
should be always kept with perfectly
sharp edges. There is much marking
out to do. and as this must be accu-
rately done a good sharp pencil should
always be at hand. In sandpapering
it is best to wrap the paper around
block, as the result is more uniform
than when the paper is supported by
the hand alone.
The three shelves, which are identi-
cal in every particular, should be
smoothly finished. giving particular
attention to the ends, as these are
visible through the side strips. In or
der to fit around the four corners Of
the uprights, the four corners Of these
must be nOtched out. These uprights,
after having been cut to length,
smoothly finished and the corners
rubbed down very lightly with sand
paper, should have the location of the
shelves marked on them and then
have the holes bored for the screws.
From half inch wood cut out four
brackets of such a length as to fit
closely between the two uprights Of
each end Six little side strips. meas
uring one-fourth by one inch, are re-
CURED, which should be fiat on top
and pointed at their ends.
In assembling make a hole in the
corner of each shelf and carefully try
