SOME POULTRY NOTES.

The wing feathers Of young chicks
frequently grow so fast as to weaken
them. Particularly is this so with the
smaller breeds Of fowl. Some poultry
men pluck out these long feathers, but
there is danger of weakening the chick
by this method. for they are apt to
bleed. The better way Is to clip the
tips Of the wing feathers when the
chicks are about ten days old. This
will send the strength back to the
body,

For the Absent One

In packing a Christmas box of eat
ables to send to a relative or friend it
Is well to write out a complete menu
for a Christmas dinner.
1t is a pretty idea to have this menu
written on a decorated card, tied with
red ribbon and holly, and placed where
1t will be seer Immediately on opening
the box.
Unless the journey is to be a short
one it is a mistake to send anything
that will not keep perfectly. As de-
lays are easily possible during the holi-
day rush, it is usually better to have
the Christmas box include high grade
goods in glass or tin.
The following menu provides a suf-
ficient quantity of homemade good
things and includes some a%ppetizing
canned articles:
Grapefruit au Maraschino.
Sardines. Lemon. Olives. Sailed Nuts.
Assorted Crackers.
Boned Capon. Saratoga Chips.
Currant Jelly.
Asparagus Tips, Mayonnaise Dressing.
NlltCS0 dChCI
Homemade Mince Pie. Stuffed Figs.
Nuts and Raisins. Cake. Candy.
By emitting the soup nothing In this
entire menu requires heating, and all
could be served with little trouble. By
using the liquor from the maraschino
cherries the grapefruit will need no
other wine for favoring. The aspara-
gus tips should be accompanied by a
jar of homemade mayonnaise, which
will stand the journey well If carefully
packed. The mince pie should travel
in its original pie plate. Besides a loaf
Of cake, there should be a plentiful
supply of small cakes and crisp cook
les, packed In tin boxes.
In addition to the actual food, it Is
always safe to include in such a box a
few necessities, such as a can opener,
a nutcracker, a sharp knife and a sup
ply of paper plates and napkins, with
some decorations for the Christmas ia

The children looked and looked,

The other children looked scared, but
Henry boldly broke off another piece
and her Arthur and lastly Ella. When
each had tasted a bit there was a hole
In the side of the cake as large as a
very large egg. Arthur quickly ov-
cred the hole with tissue paper, and
then he covered the box and closed the
cupboard door. They stole downstairs,
feeling very guilty indeed.
Well, so it went on for a week before
Christmas. First one and then an
other, never telling, sneaked up to the
| garnet and ate a few crumbs.
1t was Christmas eve when Ella took
her last crumb and noticed that the
| frosted top of the cake was beginning
to crack.
She was frightened and sorry and
very, very unhappy, and so were
| Grace and Arthur and Henry, for all
had been guilty.
Christmas morning they had all their
presents, and each one got just what
he and she wanted.

Arthur.

she dressed her new doll. She won

had deceived her parents.
"Now for the surprise" cried Aunt
May at 8 o'clock. CAN you Riddles GO
upstairs and get into your best frocks.
You must be down at $50 sharp!"
Beside the four little Lorings there
were their two cousins, Amy and Fred
and before $50 the doorbell rang sew
eral times, and other children came.
"We've come to your party!' cried
the guests excitedly.
This was the surprise father and
mother and Aunt May had so carefully
hidden from them.
And they knew that the plum cake
had been a surprise for their Christina:
party, and they had spoiled it.
There vas an empty space in the
middle of the supper table. The chill
dren knew 1t was for the cake. They
had just sat down when the mother
came in, carrying the cake OF a silvel
tray. Mother said:
'"This was such a lovely cake! Aunt
May baked it as a surprise for the chill
dren, and it was hidden up in the gar
ret cupboard. Today we found it will

what bad little mice have done!"
All the children exclaimed in wonder
and disappointment except the guilty
ones. Then Arthur got up and cried
out:

"Indeed?" asked mother in surprise
Then his brother and two sisters al
got up, and they all made confession
and cried a little. But none Of then
