ANTIDoTE FOR EACH RECIPE
What the Author Of a Cook Book
Found on the Margins Left
for Notes.

The woman was the author OF q
COOK book that has been published at
her request with wide margins and
occasional blank pages for notes and
additional recipes. Often she had ex-
pressed a wish to see an old copy Of
me book and md out to what use the
prank spaces had been put. One day
IN secondhand book store her hus-
oand unearthed an old volume. No
ucing that 1t had been annotated free
~ ne bought 1t. After day or two
he said:
HOW about the notes in that cook
oook! Were they Interestingly"
No. she said CURLY; they didn't
amount to anything"
When he got a chance he looked
through the book himself. Every note
.ne book contained was remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble.

SUCCESS ON POULTRY FARM
Business Tactics Far and Above
Everything Else and knowledge
of Finance Is Essential.

(By w. A CARD, Manchester, Conn.,
Business tactics on a hen farm
seems to be the last thing thought of
by the majority of beginners, by the
poultry press in general and teachers
IN particular, when above everything
else It's the most important Strange,
indeed, is the fact that when people
fail at everything else they will take
up hen farming and expect to sue
coed; truly they should succeed at
everything else before they tackle the
hen business. Visions of a cool piaz-
"a, hammock, a shute by which
eggs roll right from the hens to mar.
ket, another shute by which the gold
en- simoleons roll back into ones Gel
lar throughout the warm season and
the comforts and easy life of unlim-
tied wealth during the winter season;
of this Xix are the pipe dreams of the
novice, and failures without number
continue and nine times out of ten all
because the would-be farmer does not
know even common finance. To raise
chickens or to produce eggs at any
old time, to keep coops and land IN
the sweetest of condition does not
mean success by long shot, but of
course should be practiced; yet with
out business tactics and a knowledge
of the worth of dollars and cents one
is failure, no matter how practical
or thorough. In short, a business is
not a business unless run like busi-
ness; the details are the cents that
make the dollars, and 80 don't make
100

I lay down that night, with old moth

out at full length on top Of my mus

1t was little rough, but the mere
thought of being a soldier and sleep

made my bed feel as soft az bed of
roses
And then the gun! 1t was an old
fint-lock musket, minus the flint, and
no powder or ball But was at least
a soldier and had gun, and would

ShilIalah Still Useful.

The shillalah, which showed at
Louth that it has not entirely lost it's
old Importance as factor in deciding
elections, is no raw limb of tree.
1t is almost as much a work of art as
a we'll balanced cricket bat. The old
shillalahs were as carefully looked
after by their loving owners as is a
rifle III the wilds. Cut from the stur-
diest of young blackthorns, and show
ing as little taper as an ebony ruler,
it was weighted with lead or iron az
the end nearest the grip, so that IT'S
center Of gravity was about four
fifths of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the neighborhood of the farm
oven for a few months, 1t became q
thing of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation of the name of this
fearsome weapon is the melodious one
of "shill-ally," with the accent on the
"all. London Chronicle.

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but d few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pilnples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
childs face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has
head of hair which Is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs H.

the eldest child of which has been a
daughter in each case. The Oldest link
in the chain, Mrs. Levyson, is only in
her eighty-frst year. She has five
children, among them Mrs. Solomon
sen, married to a well-known broker.
She may claim to be Europe's young

long way off the three-score mark
Her eldest daughter, Mrs. Albert
Meyer, the wife of a large paper mer-

grandmother. Her eldest daughter,
Mrs. Hugo Trier, also a merchants
wife, and the mother of the fifth gen.
Grafton, is barely eighteen. Her child

opportunity of beating the record.

Breeding Turkeys.

Turkey breeders find that the finest
young stock is bred from fully ma
tured parents. Guard against the
breeding birds becoming too fat. Keep
them away from the feeding yards,
give a variety of food ct the night
feed, but unless range is very poor do
not give morning feea of any kind,
no wet mash, and little corn
Do not overmate the gobbler. Ten
females are enough for one male. Mate
them early, and try to keep the first
matings through the season We had
the misfortune of losing a fine tom
one year in April, says writer in an
exchange When a new gobbler was
introduced into the breeding yard the
hens would have nothing to do with
him. Some stood around in a critical
attitude, watching his excellency strut
around and spread his wings; but
others flew over six-foot fence to es-
cape him.
Where the hens have not been
mated they will take up with any
male; hence the practice in some
countries of driving the hens to a
neighbours gobbler; but mating once
made, the hens object to q stranger
in the harem, and there Is lack OF fer
tility till an acquaintance has been
made
Keep the hens free from lice and
the poults dry and warm.

ASCERTAIN AGE OF CHICKENS
Rules Given That May Be Relied Upon
and if Followed Closely Will
Give Desired Information.
Ry R. q. wEATHERsToNEN

(By R. q. WEATHERSTONE)
1here are not very many poultry
dealers, even among those who have
been in the business for years, who
can accurately tell the age of a fowl
The following rules, however, may be
relied upon and if followed closely
with good judgment, the age of any
bird can be very closely arrived at:
Young cockerels develop old-look-
Ing spurs sometimes, but a second
year bird preserves the short rounded
spurs Of cockereL The best guide,
perhaps, is the delicate freshness of
the skin of the face and comb; al
though occasionally an old bird will
be found whose skin is almost as soft
as that Of youngling.
A young bird will show rose-colored
veins on the surface of the skin and
under the wings, and there will also
be long silky hairs growing there. The
veins and hair disappear after one
year and the skin turns white. The
Dreast-bone also becomes hard and
cannot be bent as in a growing bird
The skin Of a fowl past one year be-
comes coarse and dry, and these
symptoms increase with age.
1t is very difficult to tell the age of
ducks. After duck is a year old it
begins to waddle and walk with some
