japanese Houses.

Japanese houses are built rather to
resist earthquake than to withstand
fire. They are exceedingly light bam-
boo or frame affairs. Instead of strong
foundations firmly imbedded into the
earth there are fat stones, on which
the frame lightly rests at the corners.
Such structures will survive earth
quake shocks that would crumble to
heaps houses more solidly built.
Within the house is simplicity itself.
The cottage may contain one or doz-
en- rooms, at the owners whim, at any
moment when he chooses to let the
curtains down. If he wishes to retire
he can make his bedroom by drawing
down around him, at any spot on the
floor that suits his fancy, curtains
made of paper This material is trans
lucent enough to admit light into the
impromptu room without destroying
its privacy. For bed all the Japa-
nese needs is a heavy quilt or two.
With the house everything is immac-
ulately clean. A japanese will not
tolerate dust collecting carpet tackled
upon his floor. He prefers grass woven
mats. which he can take up and clean
every day. Cushions on the floor do
duty as chairs, and about the only ar
ticle of wood furniture in the house is
the tiny table where the family drink
their tea.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Pudding ReCipe.

Beat to a cream three-quarters of
a cupful of butter and add to it a
cupful of molasses, the strained
yolks of four eggs and two cupfuls
of scalded milk, in which two tea
spoonfuls of soda have been dis
solved then add four cupfuls of
pastry floor or sufficient bread -four
to make it the consistency of pound
cake, an even teaspoonful of cinna-
mon, one of nutmeg and half a tea
spoonful of cloves, quarter of a
pound of citron, shredded, two
pounds of raisins and the whites of
four eggs. Beat we'll and then pour
the mixture into a creased pudding
mold. Put in a pot of boiling water
or in steamer over boiling water
and cook steadily for six hours.
Serve with sauce.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-01-24

Keep a little gas-tar on hand and
apply it for scaly legs.
You can tell a laying hen as far
as you can see her. Her comb is al
ways bright and healthy looking.
February hatched chicks are apt to
molt in the fall. and will not be
worth anything for egg production in
winter.
Turkeys more than any other poul-
try seem to require fresh air. They
will roost in trees during a snow
storm and not seem to mind ii a
bit
Forcing laying hens with stimu-
lants of any kind, except those ma
ture supplies in good food, is a dan
gerous and costly process in the long
run.
Soak stale bread in sweet skim
milk, press out the milk as complete
ly as possible, and feed the chicks.
Also keep, coarse sand before them;
without it the chicks can not grind
their food.
Put some oats in a box that will
not leak; wet them thoroughly with
warm water, cover them we'll, let
them stand one whole day, then turn
them into a box that does leak.
heep putting warm water Oh them
morning and night till sprouts are
well started. Spread them out thin
ly, moisten more, and keep this up
till the sprouts are of the required
length. Some folks let them grow
foot long. No finer feast for the
birds than oat sprouts.
Hens will soon be bringing good
prices, and the high price will tempt
many farmers to sell their hens off
too closely. 1t will pay the average
farmer to keep a goodly number of
hens the year around. When hatch
ing time comes. if incubators and
brooders are not used, it takes sew
eral hens to do the work of hatch
ing and rearing the chicks, and we
like to have enough others to keep
the egg-basket filled. Eggs to sell
every week means a small bill at the
grocery. Can't have the eggs un-
less we hold on to enough hens.

Tho Wander Ruu.

The wander bug when spring Is near
Declares he'll get away from here"
When summer comes he will not fan
To talk about the wander trail,
And when the autumn slips along
His lust to move is just as strong.
He says and doubtless really thinks
He'll go to see the ancient sphinx
Or don a noble hunters belt
And tramp the wildS like Roosevelt
Or mayhap seeks the arctic5 Greary.
Like Shackleton or Cook or Peary.
He buys a lot of travel lore,
He talks of "some far foreign shore"
He says he feels the wander thrall,"
He hears the winds that "cry and call. :"
He plans to go by foot or ship
Upon a most extended trip,
At other shores to take a glance.
To seek adventure and romance;
He babbles OF his hearts unrest"
The purple east the golden west"
And then from home, so warm and snug.
He never stirs-the wander bug!

Everybody knows that most of our
birds come north to their nesting
grounds in the spring and go south in
the fall Some of the longest jour-
neys are made by the smallest birds.
A few species leave the far north in
August and September, making enor-
nous flights over the ocean to winter
homes in the southern hemisphere.
Thus the golden plover leaves Nova
Scotia and flies without a stop straight
to South America, wintering on the
pampas of Argentina, journey of
some 5000 miles, $500 being over the
ocean, without a stop even for food.
On the Pacific side the golden plover
leaves the Aleutian islands and goes
$500 miles to Hawaii without a rest
and winters in the southern hemi-
sphere from the Society islands to
Australia With this bird the north
ward trip is slow, and the eastern
group crosses the continent of South
America, Mexico, the great plains and
across Canada to its arctic nesting
grounds. while the western birds go
up the Malay peninsula and along the
Chinese and Siberian seaboard. Thus
these birds make the enormous jour
ney of $4,000 to $4,000 miles each
year.-St Nicholas.

Be sure that your plants need wa

Good dirt is an essential thing for
the successful growth of any indoor

The rich, glossy leaves of the rho
