Womanly Wisdom.
The young wife: "This rabbit
(sob) I've been plucking it (sob)
all the afternoon, and it isn't half
done yet."
Grind up the meat that is left over
stir it up with potatoes and make
croquettes for supper. Nice as can
be.
Some girls would be successful in
obtaining a husband if they would
remove the hatpin before setting
their caps.
Never wash flannels in water in
which cotton clothing has been wash
ed, as there is line always left in
the water that "fulls" the flannel.
When making hoys' pants, if
mothers will put in a large piece of
the same material in the knees be
tween the lining and outside, it will
be there ready when needed.
It isn't safe to buy eye-glasses of
peddlers. If your eyes need glasses
go to a reputable oculist or orpician
in some near-by town or city. Econ
omy is false wisdom when it comes
to eye troubles.
Books, music and good lights may
not increase the corn crop, but they
wonderfully increase the heart crop;
and that is worth a good deal more
when it comes to keeping the boys
and girls on the farm.
If your oven does not hake, don't
get mad about it and think that the
stove is a nuisance. Just clean out
the top and bottom of the stove. You
will be surprised at the amount of
soot you will get and. how much bet
ter the stove will bake.
It is heavy work to carry up a full
scuttle of coal, but if a grape basket
is kept at the head of the cellar
stairs, and if each time a trip is made
to the cellar it is filled and brought
up, the scuttle may be kept supplied.
Even the children can help do this.
A week filled up with selfishness
and a. Sabbath stuffed full of relig
ious exercises will make a good
Pharisee but a poor Christian. There
are many persons who think Sunday
is a sponge with which to wipe out
the sins of the week.
It is natural fir children to like
candy; and good candy is wholesome
for them, taken at the proper time
which is not between meals. A good
plan is to serve it for dessert several i
times a week; a few pieces are
enough for each child. Used in this i
way it is not extravagant, as it saves i
the making of other desserts. |
There are too many people who are
like my new teakettle. You can pile <
fire under it, and polish it all you I
please, but it won't sing; all it will 1
do is to grunt a little, and if you take i
the lid off, it will scald the hand.
Isn't that a picture of grumpy, surly >
people who don't apreclate kindness? l
Give me the old Iron kettle that can j
sing, and the old jolly people who i
can sing, also. ,
The Poultry Yard.
Gather the eggs several times a
day.
Clean out the nest boxes and
burn the old straw.
Start right by getting better
hens; end right by keeping them
better. •,"'.•
A good grain mixture for win
ter evening feeding is two-fourths
whole corn, one-fourth wheat and
one-fourth oats.
Increase the supply of corn in
the evening feeding as the weath
er groWl colder. Corn is an excel
lent heaing food. t
Ventilation that comes in every
where through the cracks is not
Ventilation at all it is cold shiv
ers up and down the back and lots
if discomfort. Don't let it be that
way in your houses.
I never crowd too many into
one house; six square feet of floor
space for each bird is about right.
I have found double-board floors,
tip off the ground, the best. 1 keep
plenty of straw on the floors and
throw the grain in this so they
must work to find it.
Chaugeable weather this month
is apt to develop COlds, Keep a
dose watch on the stock, and at
once remove an ailing bird from
the flock. A warm, dry coop or
cage, and a one-grain quinine pill
each night for three nights in suc
cession, will soon bring the bird
back to health.
I kept close watch of my flock,
and the liens that began to lay
first after molting I put into sepa
rate pens. From these pens I gath
ered my. eggs for hatching, and by
so doing I have wonedrfully im
proved the laying qualities of my
flock. This mating has also been
the means of rearing birds with
stronger constitutions — more
hardy and vigorous.
In cold weal I feed oats and
bran mixed with milk or warm
water. 1 allow the mixture to
stand over night, and feed warm
in the morning. In the afternoon
1 feed corn. 1 keep ground bone in
a box where the fowls can have
free access to it. Occasionally i
also supply oyster shell. The chill
is taken off the drinking water.
The floor of the coop is bedded
with straw or other litter. I have
pullets that were hatched in July
that began laying in January. One
pullet is particular began Decem
ber 20th, and is still laying,
Before scalding the chicken cut
off the soft, downy feathers about
the tail. Separate all feathers in
picking and allow them to dry.
.Make the amount of lime water
required to immerse the feathers
by decanting the mixture from a
pound of quick lime to a gallon
of water. Stir the feathers well
in this for two or three days. Then
skim and lift, them out upon a
sieve for draining. Rinse in hot
water, and again in cold water
and allow to dry. Spread on tin
floor in a warm room with mos
quito netting covering. Once a day
tap the cover with a stick so the
air is changed. The dried ones will
flutter, and can he collected after
a few days. —From .January Farm

Hints for Stock Owners.
Never feed corn alone to hogs. It
is false economy.
Carelessness in handling pigs is a
bad habit to acquire.
Even on cold days hogs should
have plenty of good fresh air.
The idea that . anything is good
enough for a pig is a mistaken one.
Some corn stalks may he fed to the
porkers every day. They are sweet
and do the hogs good.
Some farmers sell their corn shell
ed and others dispose of it in the
ear, but western farmers find it most
profitable to sell it in the hog.
Nowadays draft horses must be
matched to sell well.
Choose for the breeding mare a
solid color—dark bay, black or chest
nut.
In countries where colts run out
the year around, the mature horses
have much stronger legs.
Horses off color and with peculiar
markings never sell so well as those
of solid colors; besides they are more
difficult to match.
Look out for bad habits in colts.
It is so much easier to keep them
out than it is to get rid of them if
they once get a hold on the young
horse.
All good farmers watch the condi
tion of their colts when put into win
ter quarters. A colt allowed to lose
its colt flesh and become thin, will
never make the horse he would be
if kept growing from the start.
The best feeds are clover hay, a
mixture of oats, wheat bran, linseed
meal and roots.
The sheep barn must be dry and
well ventilated. Foul odors am] too
much heat bring on pneumonia.
All straw stalks, etc., used for lit
ter in the sheep barn should be run
through a cutler to increase the
power of Absorption.
A juicy wether hung up in a cold
dry place will provide choice dinners
for the family until it is used up
Don't forget to have mashed tur
nips and butter with it.
The nice ewe is just as nice for
you to keep as she is for the man who
likes the looks of her to buy. Unless
you are overstocked, keep, her; and
if you are, better sell some other
sheep.
