NOW TO HAVE WINTER EGGS.
Make Hens Comfortable and Keep
Chicken House Clean.

Make Hens Comfortable and Keep
Chicken House Clean.
One great essential in getting winter
eggs Is to make the hens entirely COM
Portable. The first thing to do is TO get
busy now and clean out the house thor
oughly. Remove every useless article
and leave the floors entirely free from
anything that will obstruct their free
use as scratching place. Clean down
the walls, spray thoroughly, remove
every bit of litter from the floor, and
If it Is a dirt floor take out at least
couple of inches Of the old dirt, which
should be replaced with clean loan.
Make ready a corner in each pen
that can be used as a busting box.
This can be kept supplied with the
fine siftings from hard coal ashes and
win be much enjoyed by the whole
flock. II 1t can be placed where the
sun will shine on it SO much the better.
Do not close the windows until the
weather gets real cold. Let there be
one glass window for each pen of 10
by II or 10 feet and one muslin COW
cred frame, with at least twelve
square feet Of surface for each pen.
This may look like cold PROPOSE
ton, but 1t will be found the muslin
does not make the pen any colder than
does the same amount Of glass surface
and at the same time gives steady
supply Of fresh air This muslin will
help greatly in keeping the poultry
house dry during the winter and will
make it much more comfortable than
closely shut up house can ever be.
For colder nights have a curtain Of
cheap sheeting running across the
front of the roosting place. This does
not need to fit tightly except at the
top and may hang out some inches
from the dropping boards, giving plen-
ty of room for the fowls to pass to
and from the roosts. On the very
coolest of nights the roosting place
will be found to be entirely comfort
able, and in the morning the hens will
come out ready to scratch and hustle
for their breakfast.
Above all things, be sure to keep q
good six inches Of perfectly dry straw
on the floor for scratching material
There can be little comfort for the hen
in scratching a pile Of dirty, damp lit
ter that has been on the floor for Q
month or more.

How to Cook Pumpkin.

The best way to cook a pumpkin is
to set it in tin and then place 1t d.
rectly in the oven without any other
preliminary treatment than a light
washing with a wet vegetable brush.
Bake it for an hour or more. according
to the size OF the pumpkin. When 1t
is done open the steam end and re-
move the seeds. The rind will peel off
as though 1t were SO much paper. As
a time and trouble saver there is no
better way to cook pumpkin.

How to Preserve Plaster Casts.

Plaster casts which for any reason
have to be exposed to damp or to out
door weather conditions can be readily
insured against disintegration by the
use of a cheap and simple soapy prep
aration. Dissolve three parts Of caus-
tic potash or use three parts of am
monia In thirty six parts of hot water.
To this add nine parts Of stearic acid.
Dilute this paste with an equal guam
tity of hot water containing % per cent
alcohol In the case of old plaster
casts the surface should be cleansed
with 8 per cent potash solution be-
fore the preparation is applied. Then
it should be put on warm and after
ward sponged.

Fixing the lesson.


Parson Saunders was a little per-
turbed one Sunday morning. over some
worldly matter and made. a mistake
in the reading Of the Scriptural les
sons. He read the second lesson
where he should have read the first.
AS he neared the end of his reading
the parson saw that he was in error
He saw that his congregation knew
he was in error. How, then. to con-
clude? To conclude in the orthodox
way-'here endeth the second lesson
would hardly do, as it was not the Sec
ond lesson, but the first. Nor, could
it, on the other hand, be called, the
first lesson since properly it was the
second? Parson Saunders. after mo-
ment's thought, wisely and frankly
concluded:

DISLIKES INNOVATIONS.
Hence the Rhino HIindly Attacks Any

Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguish
ed British surgeon, in his book "Ugan-
da For Holiday" has word or two
to say about the rhinoceros.
1.-THE rhinoceros is the embodiment
Of blind conservatism" he writes. Its
hide is impenetrable, its vision is weak,
while its intellect is weaker. It has,
however, two marked qualities-com-
5ativeness and sense of smell. 1t Is
aroused to its maximum energy by the
presence of anything that is new. This
gressive or inconvenient. Its offensive
ness depends upon the fact that 1t is
unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar
the object is the worse the rhinoceros
acts.
when a rhinoceros smells a man he
will charge him with maniacal vio-
lence, although the man may be mere
ly sitting on stool reading Milton.
The massive beast will dash at him
like torpedo or a runaway locomo-
tive simply because the smell Of him
Is novel. Actuated by this insane hate
of whatever savors of an innovation.
the rhinoceros has charged an iron wa
ter tank on the outskirts of a camp
and has crumpled it up as blacksmith
would an empty meat tin.

senlle dislike Of anything new once
charged train on the Uganda railway,
but with no more serious results than
the tearing away Of the footboard Of a
carriage. AS regards the rhinoceros in
this case, it appeared surprised that a
thing composed, as it had imagined, of
flesh and blood could be SO hard. 1t
went of with an additional grievance
and an increased swelling Of the head"
