RAISING THE COLT BY HAND
Youngsters Should Be Fed Cows Milk Weakened With Water-Mlxture
 Should Be Sweetened.
(By W. D. NEALE.)

E.J
 An orphan colt can be raised by hand successfully if little care Is taken. It should be fed on cows milk, but the COW should be fresh If possible.
 Do not feed the milk at it's normal strength, but weaken with one-third water-that is, to two parts milk put one part warm water.
 The mixture should be sweetened a little with sugar and given when about the temperature of mares milk.
 At the end of two weeks the quan- tity of water may gradually be re- duced and the amount of milk in- creased until the water is left off al- together. Don't forget to sweeten the milk at all times.
 Whenever possible the milk should be given immediately after milking it from the COW. If it is decired, fresh egg may be added three times day. It win be strengthener and will make the colts hair sleek and glossy.
 The quantity of milk given should be governed by ones judgment. Some colts require more than others. but be careful not to overfeed, for the colt may get the SCOUTS. Until the colt is month old it will be necessary to feed it three or four times each day.
 To teach the colt to drink from a pail is not very great task. Put your finger in his mouth and lower your hand into the milk. He will get a taste of the milk and soon you can slip your finger from his mouth and he will proceed without you.
 If he proves obstinate, wrap goose quill with strip of cloth and use it as a nipple in a bottle or purchase nip pie from the drug store.
 Good care must be taken of the pail from which the colt drinks. It should be scalded each time 1t is used.
 Never use sour or skim milk. if you would avoid bowel troubles,
 Give clean water between feeds. Let him run in the yard, and soon he will De nipping the green grass.
 After a while he will be eating dry bran from your hand if you put little sugar in it.
 Soon you will be able to feed him some grain and then your hardest work is over.

Economy Helps.

In most households greater economy of time and energy can be practiced by cooking larger amounts of food at one time, and this means a saving in the fuel bills as we'll.
 Enough mayonnaise dressing for all the salads you will make in week can be made on one day. It is just as easy to cook a kettleful of potatoes that will last two days as it is to pre- pare only enough for the midday meal
 There is hardly a vegetable one can think of that cannot be cooked in large quantities to advantage and that will not lend itself readily to warming over in a variety of ways. And on those days when the oven Is being used for baked dishes in which the vegetables play an important part. double portions of buildings should be baked
 What is not required that day can be served few days later. steamed over the vegetable pot. and it will be just as appetizing. if not more so. as If freshly made.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 A recent farmers bulletin (No. 624) issued by the United States depart ment of agriculture, entitled Natural and Artificial Breeding of Chickens" contains some interesting suggestions regarding the feeding of young chick ems. The accompanying figure illus trates a frame cover with wire netting to protect feed of young chicks from the older fowls.
 Young chickens should be fed from three to five times daily, depending upon ones experience in feeding. Un- doubtedly chickens can be grown fast CT by feeding five times daily than by feeding three times daily, but it should be borne in mind that more harm can be done to the young chick ems by overfeeding than by under feeding, and at no time should they be fed more than barely to satisfy their appetites and to keep them exercis- ing, except at the evening or last meal, when they should be given all they will eat. Greater care must be exer- cised not to overfeed young chicks that are confined than those that have free range, as leg weakness is liable to result in those confined.
 Farmers who have no experience in hog raising but who wish to start herd on their farms are urged by the United States department of agricul- ture to make haste slowly It will be real economy, they say, if the begin ner can secure the advice and assist iance of an experienced breeder. Whether ke succeeds in this or not, he should start with a small herd. Five sows will be enough for the first year if these are really good animals.
 The chief points to be desired in a brood SOW are set forth in farmers bulletin 205 of the United States de- partment of agriculture, published un- der tie title of Pig Measurement The sows selected should be nearly the same age Did uniform in type. The forehead should be broad between the eyes, the throat clean and trim, the neck moderately thin and the shoul- iers smooth and deep; the back should be fairly wide and straight, and ample

Roots of ali kinds can be fed cooked or raw, but they should be chopped fine.
 The logs of dressed poultry when shipped to market should be perfectly clean.
 By large roaster' is meant plump, soft chicken, weighing about four or five pounds.
 Always turn the heads of the birds back under the wings in packing dressed poultry.
 When the mornings are cold, take the chill off the drinking water, but do not make 1t warm.
 During the months of April. May and June the highest prices are paid for a first-class soft roaster.

BEST OF SANDWICHES
SOME NEW IDEAS EVOLVED BY
 CLEVER COOKS.
Improvements in the Popular Tit-Blt Known as the "CIub" Have Been
 Made-Oysters Used In Place m of Chicken.

Tea rooms in the big city shopping
 districts are serving some new vari-
 cites of the always popular club sand
 wich. While the principal ingredi-
 ents remain the same each style of club sandwich differs from it's fellows in some detail which makes it dis tinctive.
 sandwich is served with a toasted English muffin substituted for the usual slices of toasted bread. It is set down before one garnished with a few sprays of parsley pressed deep into the yielding surface of the half muffin which tops the substantial fill ing of chicken, bacon, mayonnaise. let tuce and sliced tomato Watercress Is used in similar fashion, the spray of green in either case being embedded in the toasted muffin so firmly that it seems to be little flower holder. Two halves of crumpet are used for a similar sandwich and filled with the same combination, making sand wich still more hearty.
 Where toasted bread is used vari- reason of some other meat or fish be- ing substituted for the usual founda- tion layer of breast of chicken Thin ly sliced duck is delicious with the bacon and other ingredients, and tur- key is also another good substitute. Strips of rare beef, either cold or freshly cut from hot roast and moistened with horseradish may also be used, and strips of rare steak are equally appropriate.
 An oyster club sandwich has for its distinctive feature two or three large fried oysters. These are laid on the under slice of toast. sprinkled with lemon juice and then topped with two strips of bacon, two lettuce leaves. a spoonful of mayonnaise and then the second slice of toast.
 For those who do not care for fried oysters the oyster club sandwich comes in still a different form, the oysters being poached in their own liquor until the gills curl, when they are drained of moisture and used for the foundation of the sandwich. If preferred oyster club sandwiches may be served with Russian dressing in- stead of mayonnaise, as the addition of the tomato flavor in the chilli sauce is particularly agreeable with oysters, either fried or poached.
 Sardine club sandwich is made of large boned sardines sprinkled with lemon juice and arranged as usual and finely cut lobster, either hot or cold. offers still another variety.
 The egg club sandwich is usually served with basis of an egg fried on both sides, and seasoned we'll with salt, pepper and paprika before the other materials for the sandwich are added. Hard-boiled eggs, sliced or chopped, result in a sandwich less rich. In both cases the eggs should be served hot.

 For the first time in English history four royal women have been gazetted as colonels in chief of English regi- ments.
 Heretofore several of them, includ- ing Queen Mary herself, have held German army titles, and Queen Vic toria naturally was the head of the British army, but now Queen Mary has been appointed colonel in chief of the Eighteenth Hussars of historic fame, while the Queen Mother Alex andra Is associated with the Nine teenth Hussars
