FARM AND GARDEN. HINTS ABOUT MATING. Uu Point* \V b I«-l> Are Apt to Pttnlt the Poultry Amateur. I would advise those who are hesitating on waking selections for their breeding pens meanwhile to spend more time in their poultry houses studying and contriving how to mate them, and the result will be more certain and satisfactory in the end. The question of mating your breeding fowls for the best average results will soon engage the attention of breeder* who have not been timeiy in this respect. The delight of the amateur is to get possession of a trio or pen of wellmatched purti-colored birds, with which he starts a brood or two of chicks that he anticipates must come like the parents. because the old fowls possess the same even hue in plumage and markings, accurately formed, and their

AMONG THE POULTRY. Hens lay larger eggs than pullet*. Kggs from fat liens do not hatch well. The best layers are usually the worst litters. Sand is not a good subsitute for yravel in the poultry yard. The nest is the hatching place for iice as well as for chickens. Much fat-producing food is not best for laying,or growing fowls. The fowls are healthier when they live to scratch for their food. Give the hens ail of the buttermilk md skim milk they will drink. Supply the laying hens with bones, oyster shells and Vegetables.

In rearing iatnt.-* that have k^t their I^ottiers, or when the Ul tt»r cannot g or enough mill, to tour xh the lamb.- properly. it Is best to feed t ow V mill, from a bottle that has a small rubte-r nipple attached to it. A newly-dropped iamb only requires two teaspoonful* at a time given every hour. It has not been found necessary to sweeten the m Ik with sugar or dilute it with water, but it is strongly recommended to heat the milk and feed it at a temperature of 100 degrees Fabreuhfit. The lambs seeiu to '■ I ke it hot, and they certainly thrive better upon it. It is necessary tu keep the nipple, tl»e -bottle and the vessel ini which the milk is heated thoroughly free from any disagreeable taste or odor such as that of sour milk, else lambs will refuse the milk. .When the lambs •re about two months old they are able to take two feeds, two pints per head j daily, in addition to such grain and grass as they may eat.—Journal of Ag- I riculture. ' - Searched Urals far Hems. Where bens are fed large amounts of Mm newly husked, and not thoroughlydried, their digestive apparatus becomes disordered. This is often remedied by heating the corn to the point of scorching. Hens will eat this scorched corn quite readily, and they will be better for it. But partly-burned oat*, w here the hulls are burned off and only the blackened grains are left, are even fcetter than scorched corn. This is really the best way to feed oat* to hens. The hulls make the food more bulky than is best for them, as their crops are limited, and the light, chaffy grain does not give sufficient nutrition for the best egg production.—-Americau Cultivator.

FIGHTING HOG LIOE. 4 Few Rea«41et Wkt«k Have Been Employed Saceesafatty. We have within the last lew day* received uumerous complaints from farmers that their hogs, and especially pigs, were unusually lousy this year. A good many farmers have wondered what was the matter that the pigs became unthrifty, and some of the pigs, and oecasionlly an older one, have died apparently from uo other cause. An examination shows that the unthrifty ones are lousy beyond expression, and if any of our readers have pigs of this kind and will examine them, they will very likely discover the same condition to exist; plenty of lice on the mithrifty, comparatively few: on the thrifty. The hog louse is one of the largest species of lice known to infect domestic ! animals, full growu individuals, accord- ! ing to Prof. Osborn, sometimes measuring a quarter of au inch or more in length, all gray colored with the margin of the head and most of the abdomen black. The eggs are light yellow, or dusky whitish, in color, and taper slightly to the point of attachment. They are attached usually near the | base of the hairs. The best remedy we have ever heart! ; of for small pigs is to dip them in a toj haem dip Some farmers pre-fer kerosene oil and water in the proportion of bne to four, pick the pigs up apd dip them in it up to the ears. A second ; dipping a few days afterward^ may be j necessary to .get rid of the nits at the time of the first dipping. Another method is to mix kerosene and lard and appl\ it to the older hogs, and especially to the parts behind the ears, inside tiie thighs. a:id*whtrever vise the vermin can harbor. A probable reason why they are so plentiful this year is on account of the wetness of the season. which prevents hogs from getting i to !ii:t dust.

Whenever timothy is sown with any grain, especially in the fall, no small part of the phosphate used for the grain crop goes into the subsequent crop of grass. The grain may retard the timothy growth the first year, but the phosphate will show in the growth ot grass for several seasons. Timothy shoots do not run far. When the phosphate Is applied with the drill, as it always should be, the grass growth will show the drill mark as long as the land remains seeded.

A NOVEL LIBRARY. Well P»if«»tae4. Yet C*!y Open PVwe Times s Year. The Howard library of Gilmanton. Wi*., is eertainly unique. It has about 3.000 books and an annual circulation of about 8,000 volumes, and yet the library itself is open but four times a year. The library was founded by Sidney Howard in memory of bis son, Knowlton Peck Howard, who settled in Gilmanton some time during the 50’s, and who was killed fightiug for the union during the civil war, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. The books of the library are kept in a ehureb, which is used by the people of all denominations, and is called the Union church. The library is open only four times a year—on the first Saturdays in March. June. September and December. At these quarterly meetings the members gather and return their borrowed books. The striking feature of the management of the library is its method of loaning books. On the mornings of the winter meetings the members and their families begin to gather at the library, some of them driving six or eight miles, bringing their borrowed books in satchels, bushel baskets, soap boxes and other convenient and inconvenient receptacles. and their lunches in paper packages. pockets and pails. The books returned are examined by the officers and proper penalties are imposed for loss or misuse of books. Then a business nieetingis held, after which the ioaniug of the books begins, and there may be fun at any time. Mr. A—— brings up an armful of ilO or 3d books, which he wishes to borrow, and piles them on a table beside the president. who is now. ex-otfieio. the auctioneer. This officer calls off the titles of the books in rotation, adding after each: “llow much am l offered?" It is easy sailing at first. .No one bids on some of the books, which have been in the library a few years, but when the auctioneer holds up “Beside the Bonnie Brier Hush." which Mr. B- and Mrs. C- want, the bidding starts. •ai d before Mr. A-gets t he new volume he has agreed to return a good share of the cost to the common treasury. Sometimes a rash young man has boa sted t hat he w o u hi t a k e a cwt ai u book home with him. and his comrades. with many sly winks, quietly raise the bids to the limit-of prudence before letting him have it. On a number of occasions a husband and wife, while separated by the crowd, unwittingly bid against each other and paid a round sum for a book that the family las long been talking about. One volume, which'described life iu Ahdersoaville prison, brought more than five dollars to the treasury before it was woru out. This was two or three times its cost. After books have gone the rounds and are well worn, they are frequently sold at auction,and thus many families have secured small private libraries.—St. Louis ilepublic.

AN AMBITIOUS GIRL. From the New Era. Greenburg, Ind. This paper recently received information ! that the ten year old daughter of ilr. M. Rv-' bolt, of Utttoviik lnd.. had been cured of a severe illness. The case seemed more than an ordinary one, and consequently a special representative was sent to investigate. The Rybolts are well-to-do fanners living about two miles southwest of Hartsviiie. When the reporter called Mr. and Mrs. Rybolt and their daughter in question. Louise, were at home, aiso the other three children. ; Louise is the oldest, bhe had been going to school for four years, and was formerly in 1 very good health, but for the past year or more she had been ill. A year ago the present winter it was 1 noticed that she was breaking down in health. For a time the cause could not be ascertained, but it was finally decided that it was from over-study. It has always been the ambition of Louise to educate herself as soon as possible, for she was anxious to graduate from the common branches early, and to enter a college of music, which her parents premised she could do as soon as she should finish the common branches. How many children by diligent studv to achieve their ambitions are injuring their health. It was so in this case. The child studied hard all day and often far into the night, and had won the respect and admiration of her teacher and of all the school by her aptness, and rapid learning. For some time Louise experienced an indisposition which she would not make known to her parents, for fear they would have her remain from school. Her headache won became unendurable, and was ! noticed by her teacher. She had by this : time grown pale and weak. One day she became suddenly sick at school, and was taken home. For several weeks she suffered from a I fever, and the physicians could not rally j her. A neighbor urged them to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which j they finally did with splendid results, j Louise began getting better at once, and by the time she had consumed ten boxes of the ; pills she was cured. “What you have written is true.” said Mrs. Rvboit. “1 don't think Louise would have recovered had it not been tor-Dr. Wil- i hams Pink Pills for Pale People. She is in perfect health to-day. and able to re-enter school. “We are using these pills in our family ! when we need medic no. and find that they do more good than doctors' medicines, and they are not nearly so expensive. I would be glad to recommend them to any one who is sick, and can especially recommend them in any case similar to Louise's." l>r.

THE MISTAKE SHE MADE. She Did ller Best »<*» Entertain a llored C«Mt. At a party the hostess said to a guest: j “I want you to entertain Mr. Blank a lit- j tie: he looks bored to death. 1 will introduce him. and you must try to amuse him. You know his strong point is butter, on which he has written a bwk." 1'he lady-guest graciously undertook the ; task of entertaming the man, inwardly won- 1 dering that he should be so interested in j butter—of which she knew very little—when : his face indicated a mind given to much profound thinking. However, with butter in view, she began j on the weather, gradually got to the coun- | try. then on to a farm, from that to cows, j and at last to batter. The man looked more j bored than ever, the magic word “butter” j producing not the slightest effect, and he left her somewhat abruptly, and soon withdrew from the house. “I did my best,” she explained to the hostees: “1 went through agonies to prove that I was deeply interested in butter, bot it was all in vain.” “Butter!” exclaimed the hostess. “What possessed yv*« to talk to that man. of all men. on butter? I told you he had just written a book on Buddha, and I knew how deeply yon tw were interested in the same subject." And they said in chorus: “Gracious!”— Tit-Bits. B. & O. ImproTcnienO' Complete*. The improvements ou the Maiu Line of ; the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and lie tween Martmsburg. W. Ya.. and North Mountain, have been completed November 1st.

THE TUEN OF LIFE Is the most important period In a woman's existence. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in n thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with

chills, as if the heart were going' to stop for good, are symptoms of a dangerous nervous trouble. Those hot flashes are just so many calls from nature for help. The 4

nerves are crying out for assistance. The cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs at woman's system at this trying period of her life.

! For cro ! asthma, bronchitis, or whooping cough, there is no remedy so sure and safe as Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. From the first doee its healing influence is manifest. The sufferer J who has been kept awake by the cough falls into a refreshing sleep, and awakes strong and refreshed. Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is acknowledged to be a specific for all pulmonary complaints. Physicians praise and prescribe it. This standard remedy for coughs, colds, and all diseases of the throat and lungs, is now put up in half size bottles at half price, 50c. “One of mj children had croup. One night I was startled by the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it strangling. It had I nearly ceased to breath. Having a part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house; I gave the child three doses at short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given the child’s breathing grew easier, and in a short time it was sleeping quietly and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well to-day, and I do not hesitate to say that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral saved its life.* C. J. Wooldrice, Wortham, Tex.
