POULTRY POINTERS.

Avoid soft mashes, but supply tho
hens with all the milk OF any kind
they will consume. 49,,
"A variety of dry grains are excellent
for egg production, and wheat leads
the list. -. i. -.
Provide dry coops and quarters for
the chicks as they arrive, Keeping
their feet always on dry ground or on
a dry board floor will prevent much

Late hatched pullets last year were
rot mature enough for winter laying,
yet they will begin to lay this spring
and continue all summer when most
of the other hens are off duty.
Eggs are a wholesome substitute for
meat, and those who must buy meat
should use eggs literally for food at
this season. They are much health
Ter than meat az a diet, and when
they fall below the r2o.cent mark they
are fully as cheap. II not cheaper.
+ The heavy egg-laying season opens
In February. The hens need all the
animal and mineral matter they Will
consume. Green stuff and good water
will complete their perfect ration.

up IN the poultry houses and to fight
lice and disease. If you begin now
1t will be easy to keep the enemies

IN AND AROUND THE DAIRY

Cows like molasses and as 1t makes
other feed taste good, naturally aids
digestion and is a good thing to feed.
When calves begin to scour skip
feed or two and they will generally
come around all right in a short
time.
A slovenly man who does not milk
the cows clean at every milking will
soon dry them up. Besides, imperfect
milking may lead to serious udder
trouble.
Never take a very young calf away
from it, mother and put It on skim
milk. Taper 1t of from whole milk
to skim milk gradually. / III 49,;

TINS. IS the DAY OF
the TALL WOMAN

Inches will count this season, and
the daughter Of the gods, divineiy
tall Will be fashions favorite peg for
the new modes display.
IT stands to reason that tho ideal
figures will be the one that measures
Ave feet eight or nine, for the intro
duction OF panniers and fiounces. big
sleeves, q greater skirt width. and,
above all. curves. makes 1t necessary
that there shall be height to carry
OF" these Conditions.
The tiny woman rejoioed In the EN-
pire toilette, with its high wasted ef-
feet and the straight silhouette OF
the one piece dress. because those
fashions disguised the proportions OF
her physique and gave her height. II
her build was in perfect proportion
she had no need to mind what modes
she adopted. but as there are few
ideally planned frames. those vogues
appealed to the majority OF small
! women.
Under fashions new regime. as at
present understood, there are many
conditions that are exceedingly trying
to the small In stature. AS the waist
Is to be more defined and placed IN
it's natural position the straight sil-
houette's aid departs. Then, in or
der to indicate the curve or hinge OF
the waist there is to be a more no
ticeable display Of drapery upon the
hips, not amounting to much. It is true,
but apparently greater than the cling
ing tightness of the hobble skirts
form. And what is more. the new
sleeves are longer than the old. The
leg of mutton pattern Is a newly
resuscitated attraction, and that, while
1t draws attention to the delicacy OF
the waist measurement, distinctly de-
tracts from q woman's height.
"As we must look tall, how are We
to contrive to make the most OF our
inches?" q maker OF modes was asked
the other day.
Don't forget how useful your head
gear can be made" was the reply.
Provided the ruse is not palpable, q
hat with a high crown can be relied
upon to add Just the requisite number
of inches required to balance large
sleeves and fuller skirt draperies.
Then there is the tall neckband to
render help 1t gives the figure q
much more stately look than the
turned over Puritan collar. and sug'
gests height. -"
1T Is really wonderful in what sub
tie ways inches can be gained by sug'
gestion, ! mean, or shall we say IL
lusion? ~& n@

This premature ageing of the brain
Is often self-induced. There Ia class

VEGETABLES As A MEDICINE

Persons are coming more and more
to understand tho call Of nature for
her own remedies, which may be had
in the daily bill Of fare. II rightly chos-
en-. The needs OF the body to be thus
supplied will in a measure account for
all members Aof q single family not
caring for the same dishes ut the
same meal, says an exchange.
Food specialists are now studying
the question OF natural vegetable
cures and are teaching people the val
ne Of the common fruits and vegeta-
bles when used as medicine for various
ills.
The pineapple is q sort Of complete
medicine chest in itself for derange-
ments OF the stomach. 1t has been re-
garded az an indigestible food, but
this was because 1t was not known
that no particle of the pulp should
ever be swallowed, for this cellular
mass Is in truth completely indigesti-
Bile and should not be permitted to
pass to the stomach. The Juice only
should be swallowed. and the cellular
pulp removed from the mouth. It
should never be eaten with sugar, but
always with salt The sugar with the
acid makes bad combination.
Scientists have discovered Of late
that tho Juice of the pineapple con-
tains a digestive principle very much
like pepsin, the action being the same,
and It IL recommended as cure for
dyspepsia. It has been found that tho
Juice acts upon the caesin of milk just
rs rennet does, and the experiment
has been tried of placing slice Of
raw beef between two thick slices Of
fresh pineapple, and the character Of
beet has been completely changed
within three or four hours. The &C
ton Of the Juice. like pepsin, is diges-
tive.
Pineapple Juice IL now being made
use of by physicians in cases Of diph-
thereto throat and Group, the false
membrane being dissolved by the pow
erful. insidious acid Of the tropic fruit.
It brings quick relief.
Cranberries are now regarded as
one Of the best cures for malaria and
Tor srysipslas. The best way to take
them incidentally Is raw; the chemi.
cal properties Of the acid are then
complete, whereas IN cooking they are
somewhat weakened. There are two

FEEDING ON NARROW MARGIN.

Feeding steers for profit is . pre-
carious business. according to most of
the experts With a fair break In luck
a net profit Of 81 a head is all that
one can expect from four or Ave
months dry lot feeding. One feadar
estimates the expense Of feeding %
follows: ~sr II. #53E&1
One 1.ooo-pound steer IL IS per
100 .......... ......y.s. 10000
so bushels Of corn at 40 csnts q
bushel ........... .......... 24.O0
Total cost ........... .$74.00
At the time for selling. the steer
will probably weigh 1900 pounds, and
the sale price will be about Sc hun
dred. The steer then brings SIS, q
profit OF 81 on the animal,
These figures show that the 100
pound gain on the steer. costing $24
In feed, was sold for SIS, an actual
loss. However, the cattleman makes
his profit because of the rise in the
price Of beef.
Since beef feeding is run on such
a small margin. why do SO many en-
gage ii it?@' The answer is that the
by-products are more valuable than
the product itself. Hogs are an i'm
portant source Of profit, and the re-
Punishment of the steers pasture In
fertility will often be source Of even
greater gains. = .. ,s@ 23i +. i,
Feeding steers Is also means of
keeping the farmer busy in winter.
and the consumption OF his corn on
the farm saves the trouble and ex-
pense OF marketing the corn direct.
Feeders who enter the business on
borrowed money are operating on a
margin which is even narrower and 1t
is likely that some Of them are oper-
ating at loss. 1t would pay many to
keep accounts Just to. make sure that
they are coming out ahead. -.
