WORDS OF APPRECIATION.

Dear Mrs. Thomas: 1 have for a long
time wanted to write to you, but have
rot because I thought 1 could<not. At
last L have made UP my mind to do the
best I can, for 1 appreciate your good
letters and feel that 1 am not doing
what 1 should in not trying to in some
way let you know that 1 do appreciate
them.
We should not wait until our friends
and loved ones are gone 70 give them
flowers, or, in other words, give them
words of thanks and appreciation.
L look forward to the days for The
Journal to come as L do a letter from
a personal friend. I enjoy all OF the
letters of the Household.
AS have been a victim of the dread
Ell disease, pellagra, for about four
years, I am especially interested in
what is being said concerning suitable
menus and how different things should
be cooked. 1 would be glad to know
where l could get a book on domestic
science. 1t is the nature OF pellagra
disease for the victim to be respondent,
but / ward off such feelings by trying
to count my blessings and naming them
one by one. 1 remember that L have
loving Heavenly Father who watches
over us and takes care of US, and L ask
Him every day that if it be His will to
grant my prayer that I may live 10
rear my two small children, Il boy OF
seven and a sweet baby girl of three
years. Much has been done to try TO
cure me, and 1 have improved some. L
have heard some say the disease Is IN
durable, while some say it can be cured
But all things are possible with God

l take much interest in looking afte.
my chickens. 1 have only fifteen hens,
but 1 want to raise a good many this
year. L have wanted the Rhode Island
Reds for a long time, but wasn't able
to pay fancy price for eggs, and, as
one of my neighbors had the Barred
Rocks, had chance to get eggs from
her at market prices. L had a mixed
variety My hens have been laying

I have had from my hens in one day
was thirteen, and I have been getting

Mr.. Soule's department a balanced, ra-
tion for chickens, but 1 can't get the

OUR CRICKET ON THE HEARTH.

Dear Miss Thomas: This is an old
fashioned rainy day and very similar
to others IN the past when l would
gather up writing material and endeavcr
to entertain We Householders. As l
listen to the patter of the raindrops on
roof and window pane and observe their
tefacity in clinging to the ivy leaves
on the chimney, memories of days aSone
are brought back to me. in fancy l see
cur spacious Household home of yOre
with doors thrown open twice each week
for the reception of the eager throng
who assembled there for social and spir-
itual recreation. The messages of love,
sympathy and cheer dispensed with at
these gatherings penetrated many iso-
lated country homes, refreshed tired.
weary hearts, causing them TO gather
courage for the morrow.
In comparison il is a mere cottage
now, kept just. as clean and neat, with
the same kind, sweet hostess in charge.
but with only a very few faithful ones
to help keep it so.
Should we not thoroughly arouse our
selves from the lethargic state into
which we have seemingly fallen and
reclaim our former home? Busy Bee
and Vera Noble have already renewed
their allegiance. and oh you badge
wearers, wake up. | have neglected to
order the insignia but me thinks that if
had done so the significance of the
little emblem could not have been for
gotten so soon. You know there are
''our Household biddies" to be cared
for and doesn't it seem honey about
that garden! Who will help with the
chickens? ut is me" for the garden,
as l think I'm more Versed in gardening
than chicken raising.
Every family who possibly can should
have a garden. 1t takes only a small
plot of ground to furnish vegetables
for a large family and if there is more
than enough to supply the table, with
a little work they may be canned for
winter use. / practice what I'm preach
ing and it is at least very satisfac-
tory to have q variety to select from
and not have to eat the same things
until one becomes tired of them. Some
other time 1 may tell more of my eX-
perience in canning fruits and vege-
tables in both tin and glass.
Months have elapsed since the gloom
that enveloped US on account of the
cyclone. so close to US, which swept
everything I'm it's path. Two deaths and
a number of people injured. ] visited
the scenes of ruined and splintered
homes and my decision was that the
day of miracles is not ended or the
death list would have been long indeed.

of real sorrow for any of US to put on
a smiling face and stab another with
malice and uncharitableness
But this Chat was not begun with any
intention of making a sermonette. We
welcome Cricket on the Hearth and
Addie Ivan most heartily, the years
have flown since this Household was
formed and among the early names on
the register one will find these two. New
friends are cordially welcomed but to
give them a really hearty welcome we
need the pioneers to help us. The letter
of Mrs. V. V. w. comes OPPORTUNITY and
the beautiful centerpiece that she made
for my new home is indeed a dainty
piece of work.

A PRAYER.

Oh Holy Father, inspire our hearts
now by thy spirit, to Think and feel the
things that we do most truly believe
and give depth and power to the stream
of experience. that wisdom and goodness
and truth and moral beauty may be q
kind of common sense to our hearts, to
our minds, to our souls.
Let thy teaching be adapted to oui
weakness, to our ignorance, and to our
want. Be gentle to us in our impatience
in our shortsightedness, and teach us
how little we know, and kindle in oui
hearts an inextinguishable hope, d.
vine trust, a mighty conquest of faith
Amen.

whose homes were torn into fragments
and blown away. Our hearts so up TO
Him in gratitude for the preservation
o. these lives and we thank Him for
His goodness and mercy. We often for
get and ignore God as our co-partner
and these demonstrations are perhaps
to remind us of the fact and to cause
us to be more sympathetic toward each
other.
With best wishes to all for happy

tions. A diet rich in protein and
minerals is one absolute necessity
and winter ranging about the farm
does not supply that. Hens must
have warm dry feet Or they will not
lay we'll and so they must be kept
under shelter in stormy weather.
Many successful poultrymen make it
a rule to allow the laying hens
to get their feet into the snow. They
must have vigorous exercise or they
will not lay and they do not stir
about theoretically outside when the
ground is cold and the fields offer no
green food or insects to tempt them.
instead they are inclined to stand on
one foot and warm the other be-
meath the feathers.
Gonfine the flock under shelter

vide protein in skim milk or beef
scraps; supply mineral matter in oy-
ster shell and ground bone; substi-

This statement was made by Louis
Andersen, of the Andersen Bros, the
we'll known Minneapolis hide and
fur dealers. He quoted some addi-
tional figures that are of great inter-
est. In part, he said:
Skin Every Dead Animal
1T pays to skin every dead farm
animal. There vas a time when COW
hides were worth only 81 to So, but
now they are worth five times as
much or even more. Even the hide
OF a dead horse is worth Sc and many

THE same is true of sheep pelts.

$2.10 for a sheep pelt that he thought
was only worth Is cents.
"Furs are very high, too. Musk
a skins taken off during December
and January are worth 20 to 40
tents each. Skunk skins are also
top prices. Early in De-
cember a farmer boy who had dug
out 16 skunks sent the skins to ia
and got $32 for them. He wrote
back that he vas surprised and tick

Horse Hides Valuable.

Next Fair Probably Sent. ~.

Montana's 1917 state fair will in
all probability be held during the
week of Sept. II to %, inclusive, an
nounced Secretary r. S. Skinner on
his return from the annual meeting
OF the American association of state
fair officials in Chicago. The
states of Montana, Utah, Washington
and Idaho agreed to have four con
secutive weeks of state fairs in order
to attract race horse owners and live
stock exhibitors to the western coun-
try and for the further purpose of
bringing out the best class of enter
tainers which could be secured. The
setting of the date of the Montana
fair during the week as proposed
will undoubtedly result in better
weather during the fair, in the be-
lief of Mr.. Skinner.
