An Englishwoman of rank. duchess,

A milliner. whose large bill had been
repeatedly ignored by the duchess, at

money which was so much needed.

the child gravely promised to remem

When, after long waiting. she was
ushered into the presence Of her grace
the little girl dropped her a bow Of
courtesy, and then. folding her hands
and closing her eyes, she said softly:

the Lord make me truly thankful"
AS she opened her eyes and turned
her wistful gaze Oh the duchess that

Strawberries In shakespeare's Day.

Strawberries In Shakespeare Day.
Stra wberries have improved very
much in flavor since the fifteenth CEN
fury. Until then the only stray berries
eaten were wild strawberries, of a
kind which would never find a market
nowadays. By 1880, however, they
were beginning to be cultivated. for
Holinshed records under that date a
particularly fine crop grown by the
bishop Of Ely in the grounds of his
palace, now covered by Hatton Gar
den. He quotes the Duke Of Gloucester
as saying to the bishop: MY lord. you
have very good stra wberries in your
garden in Holborn. l require you to
let us have a mess Of them" This
speech was copied almost verbatim by
Shakespeare in Richard Ill" Still.
even the bishops fruit would not ap-
peal much to the modern connois-
seurs, for the garden strawberries at
that period were only transplanted
wildings, the plants being sold at
about fourpence a bushel. -. London

WATCH MOULT Inc
Of SHOW FOWLS
Birds Intended for Exhibition
Should Be Given Extra Care
When Feathers Go.
BY OTTO &. HACHMAN.

The handling of show birds during
the melting period is an important
problem. You can make or mar a pro-
spectve winner at this time. Care
less handling will often damage the
plumage to such an extent as to put
the bird out of the running.
The first step is to separate the males
from the females. This should be done
Just as soon as the breeding season
is over and the breeding~season should
not be prolonged.
The male birds should be put in sep
arate Enclosures. with ample room for
exercise. Do not pen them up in small
box coops and expect them to retain
their health and vigor, and to mott out
properly. Have a comfortable place
for them to roost at night-a place that
is clean, cool and we'll ventilated. Have
a good sized run for each coop, so the
birds can get out on the ground and
derive the necessary exercise.
Do not overlook the matter of sup
plying them with green food. Unless
the runs are located on sod ground
green food must be provided. Lettuce
and other green garden stuff can be had
at this time. and will do them good.
Rape is also an excellent green food.
The females will not need to be sep
arated. but can be yarded together.
| They must have ample room in their
roostng quarters. OveTcroWding them
while on the roost eat night will cause
them to become overheated and I'M
comfortable. And colds are liable to
result when the Overheated hens rush
out into the cool morning air.
While I stated above that the fe-
males can all be yarded together at
certain times we find it best to keep
some of the hens separate. Having
been apart all season they naturally
are quarrelSOme when thrown together.
The time that is desired for the birds
to begin or complete their mott should
be governed by the date of the show in
which the birds are to be entered. The
fall fairs are the first shows on the list,
and as these usually begin in August
and September it will be far too early
to expect the birds to be through mott
ing by that time. Therefore, they will
have to he entered before mott has af-
fcCted them to a great extent. And
when this is the case ii is desirable
to prevent the fowls from melting too
soon This can be done by keeping up
heavy feeding and caring for them as
usual While on the other hand. if the
birds are to be entered in the early
winter shows, their mott will neCeSSar-
lily have to be hurried along, so as to
get the birds in new feather and in the
best of show condition.
If they seem inclined to be backward
in dropping the old coat of feathers,
cut down the rations considerably. Feed
very little grain for about two weeks
out give them all the green food they
want OF course. they will get a trifle
thin and eggs will be few, but this is
just what we desire.

During these strenuous times we hear
every class of people talking of the
high cost of living. This has resulted
in producers of every kind of necessi-
ties striving to increase their output.
and under this spur most of them have
succeeded in securing this. additional
quantity In some cases this inCreas sc
has been at the expense of quality: in
some 1t has been accompanied by i'm
proved quality; in the majority of
cases. however, the quality of the pro-
ducton has not been altered percepti-
bly, for the better 1t is not the pur-
pose of this article to discuss this ques-
ton at length, but only so far as it af-
fects the production of poultry prod
uCts
To demonstrate that the trend of
poultry work has been chiefly along the
road to QUANTITY. We would point
out that the incubator manufacturers,
until very recently at least, strove to
perfect machine that would, first
hatch more chicks, the brooder manu-
faCturers. to perfect a machine to raise
more chicks. and so on down the line,
until We come to those who have striv-
en- to work out methods of feeding and
housing which would produce more
eggs. During all this time the chief
trend has for the most part been to-
ward quantity rather than quality, We
are glad that these efforts have been
largely successful and the results of
this work have been beneficial
In spite Of these rapid advances in
the production OF larger quantities the
relation to the high cost of living has
not been materially lowered The
writer believes that this can be over
come to advantage of both producer
and consumer by giving at least an
equal amount of attention to the quail
ity of our poultry products. As a CON
else subject for discussion, let us take
that au-mportant product-eggs
There are, of course, many poultry
farms depending chiefly upon the pro-
ducton of eggs for their revenue, but
it is a well known fact that the greater
proportion of our eggs are at present
produced upon the general farm. From
the farm they are traded out at the
country store. then shipped to the local
commission house. and from there
shipped in car lots to the principal
markets
1t was my pleasure recently to visit
one of these large Southern commits

try eggs. After observation and con-
sultation with authorities who have

Almost invariably these large ship

ture connected with this business, the
answer will be; The loss of eggs due
to poor quality, BY means of a process
called Gambling" these egg handlers

accordingly grade them as strictly

the poorest grades, known to the trade
as riots and spots" The first or high
er grades of eggs are those which bring
in the best prices, and the prices di-
minish greatly as the grades become
lower, until, when we reach the riots
and spots" we find a class of eggs
which are unfit for human consump-
ton.
I was very much surprised when told
that during this season of the year
these riots and spots" often constituted
anywhere from 3S 1-3 to so per cent of
some shipments. Yes: that is exactly
what | meant to say. Read it again and
think about it. From one third to one
