DRINKING WATER FOR FOWLS
Insanitary Condition Remedied ~
Use of Old Cheese Box-Good
Arrangement for Chicks.

When you go out to supply your
fowls with fresh drinking water, is tho
vessel full Of dirt or litter? This in
sanitary condition used to bother us
q lot, even though we used poultry
drinking fountains, says a writer in an
exchange.
A good remedy follows: Procure an
old cheese box and split off the bottom
half of it around the sides, then put
tho fowls drinking vessel on top OF
this. 1t will not take long for you to
note difference in regard to cleanlt
ness.
For small chicks another plan has
proved excellent. Fill basin level
FULL of pebbles slightly smaller than
hens eggs; then sink the basin in the
ground. leaving the rim an inch above
the surface, and fill with water. The
chicks run all over this, yet they can
not push one another into the water
and drown, and scarcely being able to
get their feathers wet. They drink
between the pebbles. The pans are
easily cleaned, and the pebbles help
keep the water cool for several hours

ANY number of clever answers to
the question of beach clothes has
put the unsightly bathing suit Ell.
tirely out Of countenance. Swim
ming suits, bathing frocks and shore
dresses are designed to add to the en-
chantment of the beaches, for the
summer girl insists that they must
be pretty. Dresses for the shore and
for bathing are made Of taffeta, pop
lin. pongce, fiber silk, and other stuffs,
with hat or cap, shoes and hose all
carefully thought out, and the outfits
for water sports are as pleasing as
any others.
For the girl who swims much. or
paddles the precarious canoe, regular
swimming suits are made of wool

green and two-color mixtures as well.
Nearly all the solid-color suits are Dor
dered with braid in white or white
with a color. In two-color mixtures
one of the colors is used for the mar
row bands that make the borders.
In bathing frocks plaid silks are
used for trimming plain colors. Broad
stripes and pointed skirts are novel
ties that are liked, and sashes of knit
ted silk have added color touches.
Swimming suits are in two pieces,
with Knockers extending to the knees.

said the dean, Ito baptize child on
Easier eve. I ask the members of my
congregation to help me to continue
this PRACTICE
Everybody knew the deans love of
children. He had had three of his
own, one, girl, had died, another girl
was married and living in the West;
and of~the deans son only few peo-
pie knew anything. After wild col
lege career he had disappeared abrupt
ly from his fathers house. The cause
of the quarrel nobody knew, but all
knew that the fault lay with the son.
Since that day father and son had
never communicated with each other.
1t lacked five days of Easter, and,
prolific in births though Madsbury
was, no child had been born lately that
had not been baptized, except the &C.
casional child that was not destined to
be baptized. In vain the good-hearted
women of the congregation hunted
through the lists Of the parishioners.
There's Mrs. Martins baby" said
one to another, as the news came of
the tenth child of the bakers wife.
"But you can't take baby six days old
to be christened in weather like this. -
"We've got to get somebody" said
Mrs. Latour. "Have you tried the hos
pitfalls, dear?"
They hunted through the hospitals,
and at last their quest was rewarded.
There was a colored baby, two and
a half weeks old, in perfect health.
But the parents belonged to an OBJ
scure sect which insisted on baptism
by it's own minister's.

dean, Mrs. Washington, I'll give you

DWARF APPLE TREE STOCKS"
Come Into Bearing Somewhat Earlier
Than on Standard Stocks, Says
New York Station.

Apple trees prOpagated on dwarf
stocks come into bearing somewhat
earlier than on standard stocks. This
is the experience Of a ten years study
by the New York station. The French
paradise stock Is somewhat subject
to winter-killing. IN fact, the injury
and loss from this cause was so heavy
that conclusions from tho expert
ments cannot be drawn at this time.
There is considerable confusion In
the trade between the doucin and the
French paradise stocks. The para
disc stocks grown by English nursery
men are similar to the doucin stocks
grown across the channel.
The growth of the dwarf tree is
largely individual. Many varieties
throw out roots from the cions, if the
union between the stock and the cion
is set below the surface Of the
ground. This makes it necessary to
remove the cion roots, otherwise one
will get standard or semi-dwarf trees.
Then the suckering habit Of the
dwarf stocks must be contended with.
A further disadvantage is the rela-
tive shallow roofing system Of the
dwarf stock so that the trees are like
ly to be blown over in exposed situa-
tons or where high winds prevail. Al
though these dwarf trees came into
commercial bearing somewhat earlier
than standards the tests have not yet
shown that they are more profitable.
The station authorities believe that
the dwarf trees are likely to be more
valuable to amateur than to CONNER
cial growers.

In order that the farmer may sue
cessfully combat the different insects
which injure his crops, it is necessary
to know something regarding insects
in general, their life-histories, habits,
enemies, and the remedies that may
be used against them successfully.
Briefly, insects may be divided into
two classes. One develops from the
egg to the adult without any resting
stage. Insects belonging to this class
are said to have an incomplete change
of form. The other class has resting
stage in its life-history, and insects
belonging to this class are said to have

SOME NATURAL SOAP PLANTS
Weeds of the Southwest That Will
Produce a Copious
lather.

In western Nebraska and Kansas, in
Colorado, New Mexico and parts OF
Utah, Arizona, Texas and Mexico,
grow the plants commonly known as
Spanish bayonet, bear grass or soap
weed, the Philadelphia Inquirer OBJ
serves.
The first name is suggested by the
stiff, sharp-pointed leaves that stand
like cluster of bayonets round the
crown Of the plant, as if to protect the
tall spike of large, greenish-white flow
ers that shoots up during the early
summer. The last named comes from
the use that the native peoples of
these regions have long made of the
plant, for it contains substance
known as saponin, which forms lath-
er in water much like that of soap. The
material can be used to wash articles
that would be injured by the alkalis
of ordinary soaps. The roots of the
plant, which contain most of the soap.
like substances, are generally used.
The Indians bruise these roots be-
tween two stones and put them into
cold water to steep for few minutes.
Then they stir the mixture vigorously
and rub it between their hands, an
operation that soon produces copi-
Gus lather. Then they throw away the
root fibers and use the suds they have
produced.
Soap manufacturers have begun to
use soap weed in making mild soap
for the toilet and for washing deli.
cate fabrics. Ranchmen, on whose
land the soap weed is a nuisance, can
often sell it for enough to pay for
clearing the land. The weed can be
dug at any time dried, baled and sent
by rail to the soap factories. The spe-
cies of soap weed most commonly en-
ployed is the large fruited Spanish
bayonet, Yucca baccata, the fruits of
which were formerly eaten, when
dried, by the Indians. Another com.
mon species, Yucca glauca, is also EN-.
ployed as a source of the vegetable
soap.

"But Pve Never Seen Dean Farrell"
q silk dress. And new suit of clothes
for your husband. And job in our
garden"
@'Do you think Aim going to sell
nah baby's soul for silk and gold"
demanded the indignant Mrs. Washing
ION. sitting up iiercely among her pill
lows.
The women beat a hasty retreat. The
last hope seemed gone. And then it
was that the great discovery was
made.
There was baby-and Mrs. Latour
FUND it. It had been born three weeks
before, in rooming house at the other
end of the town. The mother, a
delicate, frail young thing, listened in
awe as Mrs. ,Latour told her of the
deans wish.
But I've never seen Dean Farrell,
she whispered.
.'That makes no difference" an
swered Mrs. Latour. Nov don't be
a foolish girl, but do just as l tell
you. I'm going to let the dean know
en- hour or so before the christening"
She did not tell any of the other
women of the congregation, and MAIDS
bury was agog to know whether or not
Dean Farrell would be able to carry
out his long-cherished custom. And,
as th4 days went by, and the scramble
to fiji. d a baby became more and more
acute, without visible result, it was
confidently anticipated that the dean
would not.
Dean Farrell was greatly distressed.
He had kept to his custom for more
than thirty years. In fact, the hrst
baby that he had ever baptized had
been his own hayward son, of whom
he thought constantly. Like every
father. he saw him, not as the grown
man who had defied him, but as the lit
tie child whom he had held in his arms
and yearned over. Where was he
now?
His heart was very heavy. The boy
might be dead. Worse things than
death might have befallen him. Some
where on the broad face of the earth
was the man whom he had held in his
arms at the baptismal font and who
had filled all his life.
IT was at the eleventh hour that Mrs.
Latour came to the deanery, when the
dean had long given up hope. Her
face was alight with triumph.
eve found I1im!" she cried happily
Him" said the dean vaguely. He
had been seated in his office, thinking
of his son at the time when she was
announced. The words seemed like an
answer to his prayer, and he con
uected them with him.

1.-The dearest little boy baby. AnQ
he'll be here with his mother in half
an hour. She's a girl from the
other end Of the town, and found her
by accident. I'm going to be god
mother, my husband will be one god
father, and the verger has just said
he'll be the other"
But the father?" queried the dean.
Dean Farrell" said Mrs. Latour
seriously, you know you said that you
would give anything to have baby to
baptize, and it was pretty difficult to
get one for you. This is case of pri-
yate troubles, and-you mustn't COM
plicate matters by asking questions,
please"
II won't, them" answered the dean.
Half an hour later he stood before
the christening font, looking thought
fully into the face of the girl-mother,
who was opposite him. Beside her
stood Mrs. Latour, holding baby that
behaved with all baby's traditional
goodness at baptism. 1t neither stirred
nor cried, but lay In Mrs. Latour's
arms with its blue eyes wide open, and
fixed on the Deans face.
The service proceeded, and all the
time he was speaking the Dean was
thinking of his own lost child. His
son had lain in his arms in the same
tranquil way, and he had never guessed
what trouble was to come after.
But there was trouble now. There
was trouble on the young mothers
face. Timid and shy, she seemed un-
able to conceal her grief. The Dean
saw the tears well into her eyes and
roll down her cheeks as he took the
infant into his arms and asked its
name.
After a slight pause Mrs. Latour
stepped forward and whispered it. And
the Dean stared into the face of the
child he held. 1t was his own name
that she had spoken.
One little hand clutched at his sur.
plice. The face, upturned to his, the
eyes that looked gravely, almost ques-
tioningly, into his own, told him the
secret. It was his own grandson that
he was holding. He traced his sons
features, as a childs, in this child's
face; it might have been his own boy
| that he held in his arms again. His
prayer had been answered, although
| not as he had asked it.
He felt that as he poured the water
over the head of the babe. Then the
ceremony was over. The mother held
the babe in her arms again and the
register had been signed. Mrs. LatoVr
and her husband had slipped away.
The mother had gone, and Dean Far
rell stood alone in the vestry.
Only minute, but in that minute he
summed up an eternity. Then he went
through the church. At the door he
came upon the young mother. She
was just leaving, and at her side, be-
hind the pillar, where he had stood
throughout the ceremony, he saw his
son.
For Just one instant the two men
hesitated. Then the Deans arms were
about the grown man, as if he were
the little boy whom he had lost.
You must come home,'' he said.
This day I have taken two children
into my Fathers house."
