Potiltfy Note*.
An elevated site is desirable for a
poultry house.
Lc that Ihe poultry house Is well
ventilated.
Leg weakness comes from high feed-
lug and forced growth.
Sprinkle the places most frequented
by tin* fowls with slaked lime.
A sole diet of corn produces too much
fat, when given to laying hens.
Mix a little powdered charcoal with
Bte soft feed and It will assist dlges-

With poultry, as with other products,
it is a safe rule to market as soon as
ready.
The turkey is one of the best pay-
ing fowls the farmer can keep, when
the surroundings are favorable.
The egg shell Is porous and any filth
nn It soon affects the moat. Eggs
shonld lie cleaned as soon as gathered,
The breed of fowls to select from Is
the one you like the best. This has a
great deni to do with which is the best

Fresh eggs nre more transparent at
Die centre, old ones nt the top. Very
i’lil ones are not transparent in either
place.
Unriner's Method.
One of the best farmers we ever
knew kept a slate hanging up in the
barn and on this slate made entries
something like these;

Mlien any Job like the one- noted
was done, the rule was to erase the
memorandum about it, and the man
wlm kept the slate told us that there
was always a friendly rivalry between
himself, his son and the hired man in
the way of keeping the slate dean.
The rule was to scan the slate when-
i' it any one came to the ham, nnd
If he was called away and there was
some work of his own to be done, In-
stead of telling his wife “to tell the
L .'. a simple entry e as made cover-
leg the work to he done and all went
well.
Good Milking,
1 cats nt the storr’s Experiment Sta-
timi show conclusively that the amount
of milk given by the cows and the
purity of the product both depend
greatly upon the method adopted by
(he milker. One young man, who said
hr could milk, was given charge of the
milking of six cows. At tho end of

wear clean clothes, wash his hands
before beginning to milk, and never
wet them "b"e milking. The cow
should be brushed before being milked,
and her flank and udder wiped with a
damp doth in order to minimise, ns
far ns possible, the number of bacteria
floating about in the vicinity of the
pail, and likely to get into the milk.
To the same end the foremilk should
be rejected, and the milking done into
covered pails, with strainers arranged
for the milk to pass through. Reject-
ing the first few spurts of milk from
the teat removes the milk containing
objectionable germs. Tbe cleaner the
milking is done, the fewer the germs —

Tlio Mop Wringer.
The mop has to bo wrung, and there
are a dozeu ways of wringing it. Al-
most any one who has had the un-
pleasant duty of wringing a mop has
adopted u method of her own for clear-
ing the inop of the unclean water. A
mechanical wringer seems to possess
a good deal of merit. Two rollers
working in the upper part of the pail
and between which the wringer is
placed, arc brought together by a sys¬
tem of levers, pressing the water from
the meshes of the mop. The lever is
conveniently placed on the outside of
the pail and is operated by the foot.

The vessel in which you put your

tory in anything but low bowls or

consideration. A blue cldim bow! may

roses, but put pink roses into it and
you get a discord. As a general thing,
a crystal vase or a eul glass howl will
ho found more satisfactory than any
colored vessel, because when these nre
used there can be no clash of color—
no striving for predominance in hue
or tone between the flowers and their
receptacle, Where colored vessels are
used, groat care must be taken to se
cure proper contrast nnd entire hnr-

Quilting.
How many have found quilling on
the machine easy? Having pieced
your quilt and put it together the pro¬
per size, get your lining ready, and
with a paper of pins and the wadding
nt hand you are ready for work. Lay
,bo quilt down right side upon the
floor, and stretch out perfectly straight.
Fpon this lay tlu> wadding out in
lengths till all is covered. Yon next
stretch the lining, right side up. over
l b< ‘ wadding, when you begin the pin-
nlng at intervals of every six or eight
Indies, rolling up the quilt as it Is
l’lnncd, until you get It all well togoth-
er, ready to take to the machine. Be-
Kin stitching straight across one end,
and go on and on, removing the pins
as you come to them, ami rolling up
the stitched part ns soon as it gets
unhandy. With the assistance of one
person to help hold it in place a large
quilt may be quilted in three hours
nnd finished up even to binding in an
afternoon. Mrs. John F. Payue, in The

Some of the Indian tribes of the Uni¬

a part of the territory originally occu-
lilt'd by them before the arrival of the

For our hot Bummors, shade around
the house seems to be an absolute
necessity. It is well to remember
however, that, like most other gooc
things, we may so shade that It be
comes absolutely harmful,
It has often been observed that
while a home is new and has little
shade it is healthful, but after tht
house is buried under trees, the fata-
ily begin to suffer from various dis¬
eases, which when the trees were ’
small and cast little shade they were
entirely free from. The explanation
i s this: When a house is burled in
shade It becomes dark and damp.
Darkness and dampness are both fa-
vorablc Dir the growth of molds, mil¬
dews and disease germs. Sunlight
dries the house and kills outright
the germs of most of our formidable
diseases. Rheumatism and consump-
tlon thrive especially in dark and
damp houses.
Shade should be around tho house, i
not over it. Let there he open places j
all around the house, so that the sun I
may shine directly upon it. This will
keep It dry and wholesome,
Another evil which comes with too
many trees 1 r the shutting off of the
current of air so necessary when it
i s very hot. Heat is much more en-
durable with plenty of moving air
than it is when there is no circulation
whatever. Plant trees; plant them
In abundance, but not too close to
the house, and when they become
^ 00 dense cut some of them out.—New
York Tribune.

GOOD THING8 ABOUT CAT8.
Feline Is One of the Most Fastidious
Animals About His Toilet.
“There has been so much talk about
cats In the newspapers and In pseudo-
( scientific circles of late and about the
way in which they spread all kinds of
! disastrous and deadly contagions,”
said tho cat's friend in the New Or-
leans Times-Demccrat, “that It Is real-
]y refreshing to find in print anything
j Recently that is at the all cat good about the the feline, out-
was put on
j Jawed list in Washington. Doctors
and scientists have been urging foi
i some time the claim that the cat was
I an unclean thing and the scatterer of
I diseases,
i "It Is a bit cheering in this waste
j 0 f pessimism to turn to the following
j j j n the London Mail, In defense of the
eat: 'Tho most fastidious mammals
j | n matters of the toilet are to be
found among the members of the cat
i family, as all must have noticed in
domestic tabbies. The rough tongue
makes an excellent brush, while the
sharp claws are on occasion employed
by way of combs, all these invaluable
aids to cleanliness and smartness pos¬
sessing the further advantage of al-
I ways being at hand when required. A
i healthy cat is not only clean, but
finiral > not to say o \ain, about her (or ,
bls) personal appearance. And moral
degeneration in pussy is accompanied

view of the matter is that the cat is

Still—but 1 was speaking of cats,
Henry Clews cn the Russo-Japanese
War.
The fact that our sympathies are
with Japan In her contest with Russia
is very largely due to the liberal and
progressive open door policy of Japan
and the narrow, restricted and monop¬
olistic shut door policy of Russia, par¬
ticularly as shown by her arbitrary,
grasping and encroaching course tu
Manchuria.
Her persistence In remaining there
after repeated promises to withdraw
constituted a breach of faith towards
Japan, and clearly indicated her in¬
tention to retain it as a province and
a stepping stone to further territorial
acquisitions. Yet her claims on Man¬
churia were merely based on certain
rights over the Manchurian Railway,
a very unsubstantial foundation and
justification for her pretensions and
occupancy of the country.
Japan has good reason to feel proud
of her exploits and achievements in
,
this great contest. Not aloue is phys¬
ical strength necessary to success in
war, but science, money and an intelli¬
gent application and utilization of te.
sources. Although Japan had a great
advantage over Russian, in being
much nearer her base cf supplies, she
had still a very formidable adversary.
Yet this purely Oriental nation
showed, to the wonder of the world,
its superiority over its powerful foe
from the beginning of this heroic
struggle to drive away an intruder
whose ultimate design was to accom¬
plish its destruction as an Indepen¬
dent nation.
Against this aggressor the Japanese
people are united to a man, with a
patriotio seal and devotion that makes
every one of them not only willing to
fight and sacrifice his property for
his country, but to lay down his life
for it, deeming death in its defence
of itself glorious. Such patriotic will¬
ingness to sacrifice everything for the
national cause makefi every Japanese
soldier and sailor much more than
the equal in strength and resolution,
and fighting force, of each of his an¬
tagonists.—Henry Clews, In llarper’a
Weekly.
Swans for Food.
this country swans are but little
scon, except in public parks, but they
are C 0 Tn i n & * nto increasing favor on
private estates, as they give the finish-
«ng touch to an ornamental sheet cf
water. In England swans have been
raised ever since the time of Richard
the Lion Hearted for eating purposes.
The largest swannery was maintained
y,y j j0r q Uchester, in Dorset, where
from 700 to 1,200 birds were kept, in
the early days, says Country Life in
America. Ail swans were raised at
one place and brands issued to mem¬
bers of the nobility.
Our Occupations.
A Census Bureau report on occupa¬
tions shows that in continental Unit¬
ed States the total number of per¬
sons engaged in gainful occupations
in 1900 was 29,073,233, which consti¬
tuted one-half the population, ten
years of age or over, and nearly two-
fifths of the entire population. Of
these 4,S33,G30 were women and 1,-
750,178 were children. Those of for¬
eign birth aggregated 5,851,399, or
one-fifth of the total number of gain¬
ful workers.

1881 the farmhouse of Henry Axtell
In Chemung County. N. Y., was struck
by lightning three times In one day.
First, it split the chimney from top
to bottom, ruined stove and pipe and
bored several holes In the floor. An
hour later a "bolt” struck the same
house and tore a milk bench, upon
which several cans of milk were set-
ting, all to pieces. The same evening
a third flash entered the roof and
tore the legs from a bedstead.—Mid-
dletown Times.
Churches on Bridges.
The custom of building churches on
bridges was common a hundred years
and more ago. Several of these quaint
old buildings are still left in Europe.
The Chapel of Our Lady still stands
on tHe bridge which spans the Don
at Rotterdam. The little chapel was
built in the fifteenth century and was
restored about a hundred years ago.
For several years, however, it has
been used as a tobacco shop.

* The letter of Miss Merkley,"
whose picture is printed above,
proves beyond question that
thousands of cases cf infiamma*
tion of the ovaries and womb
are annually cured by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkhanvs Vegetable
Compound.
11 Dear Mbs. Pinkham: Gradual
—
loss of strength nnd nerve force told
ine with something was radically wrong
me. I had severe shooting pains
through the pelvic organs, cramps and
extreme irritation compelled me to
seek medical advice. The doctor said
that I had ovarian trouble and ulcera¬
tion, and advised an operation. I
strongly objected to this and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinklsam’s Vege¬
table Compound. I soon found that
my judgment was correct, and that all
the good things said about this medi¬
cine pain were true, and day by day I felt
less and increased appetite. The
ulceration soon healed, and the other
complications disappeared, and in
eleven weeks I was once more strong
and vigorous and perfectly well.
“ My heartiest thanks are sent to
you for the great good you have done
me.”— Sincerely yours, Miss Marg AnF.v
