PLACE FOR HENS TO SCRATCH
Leaves Make Excellent Material II
Gathered When Perfectly Dry
Oat Straw Is Cheap.

There are a number of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch In, says
a writer in the Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the stuff most
used by the small poultrymen. These
are good If gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. find oat straw

cause 1t lasts quite a while and furn-
ishes some feed If fed before thresh-
ing.
Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and a feed combined. Buck
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally. Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material

that the animals purchased for the

type, and be made permanent part
Of the farm live stock. Those who
purchase cows with the intention OF
milking them but short time and
then selling them off when the price
of butter-fat drops or when the ami

beef producers rather than milk pro
ducers. 1t Is impossible to build up
a good dairy herd by this method.
Dual-purpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one OF the
special dairy breeds should be used
This does not mean that only thor.

GAME FOR RECESS AT SCHOOL
Twenty or Twenty-Five Boys and Girls
May Participate in Pastime While

This game may be played at recess
with as many as twenty or twenty-five
girls and boys taking part in 1t. All
of the players except three clasp hands
and form circle. Inside the ring
is the orchard where the fox, one of
the players, takes his place. The
farmer, another one Of the extra play
ers, stands on the outside Of the ring
and calls to another player, who is
outside the ring, saying: Bruno, a
fox is In the orchard" Then the fox
runs from the circle beneath the play
ers' uplifted hands. Bruno chases him,
first entering the circle and then fol-
lowing just where the fox runs.
All through the game the dog,
Bruno, must initiate everything that
the fox does just as players in follow

the fox jumps up to touch the branch

times the fox does many stunts which
amuse the ring players very much and
which make it hard for the dog. II the
dog does not follow he cannot go on
with his part of the game, but must
join the ring. Then the fox becomes
dog and a new fox Is chosen. When
the dog captures the fox he becomes
the fox for the new game and the fox
goes into the ring. Then a new dog
Is chosen. When the ring Is very
large there may be two foxes within
the circle and two dogs to chase them.

Live Stock Notes.

Inferior sows constantly pull down
the average Of the herd.
Muddy pens In winter are discour-
aging places to keep hog.
Sheep will do better on rough land
than will any other kind of stock save
goats.
Good feeding is an integral part of
success in breeding pure-bred swine.
A rigid system of selection of brood
sows should be practiced by all swine
breeders.
Kaffir fodder should never be fed ex-
clusively to cattle because 1t will scour
them.
The profits Of a successful hog man
rest largely upon his success in rails
ing pigs.
Few branches of stock feeding offer
better inducements than feeding range
lambs. ?
Cattle feeding Is not a hazardous
business, provided 1t is done intelli-
gently and conservatively.
Soft coal or coal cinders are relish
cd by pigs and hogs because of the
mineral matter they contain.
Hogs that have natural shelter and
a good dry ground under them will al
ways do well in winter.
LamAs to be finished for market
should go into winter feeding quarters
before the weather becomes cold and
unsettled

CHEAP CUTS OF MEAT
PALATA6LE AND NUTRITIOUS, IF
ONLY PROPERLY PREPARED.
Some Directions Here by Which the
Good Cook May Easily Cut Down
the Cost Of Living Without
lmpairinq Menu.

Meat may be rather tough and OF
coarse fiber and yet contain more
actual food value than cuts that are
more tender and much higher in price
But on account Of the tougher fiber,
ignorance or carelessness on the part
OF the cook and the deplorable habit
of swallowing food much after the
manner Of the reptiles we find these
parts of the animal more difficult to
digest and therefore condemn them
The good cook, however, will give the
preference to the so-called cheaper
cuts and parts Of meats, as she knows
that with them she can develop 9
variety of flavors that will charm the
taste at each separate meal ever
though the same kind of meat be
served.
Meat Loaves and Molds-These
when skilfully prepared, are delicious
and served hot with good gravy Of
sauce are preferred by many to
roast joint, and when sliced cold are
far more tasy than roast that has
had its juices dried up and the favor
dissipated.

Of cold cooked veal; pound Of fresh
pork and chop very fine. Add a kitch-
en- spoonful of bread crumbs, a little
minced parsley, large onion minced
fine, salt and pepper to taste, dash

or milk. Mix thoroughly and pack
closely in buttered bread pan. Lay
bay leaf and large slice of fat salt
pork on top and bake about forty-five
minutes. If served hot, make to-
mato or mushroom sauce to serve
with 1t. A brown sauce made of a
few slices of calf's liver fried nicely
and calfs kidney cooked the same
as chicken giblets makes nice rich
