Of many specie? the female is fed by the male on the rest, but the butcher bird's prey consloti often of creatures which are too large to be eaten at a mouthful. Even if the male could always drag these carcasses to the net it Is obvious that the female could not eat them there, so the "larder" may have been hit upon as a happy device to get ever the difficulty, the female Hitting thither to help herself whenever she is hungry.

Mere money is wasted every year by women buying needless things under the vxcitement of the bargain hunt than is spent in all the gambling houses and racetracks put together, says Mary Heaton Voiva in Success. When you say that I have no statistics to prove this, I answer that I have common sense and nave spent much tine In city shops. I know, too, what I am capable of, and I am but o half-hearted hunter. I know what my friends do. . It Isn't for nothing that I have seen earnest young students of economics succumb to this hunting instinct and fare forth to buy OS-cent undergarments. It is not only In the stores frequented by poor or uneducated women that I have seen the more brutal instincts of the human race come to the surface. I have seen a charming elderly woman In a high class store snatch a dress length of gray voile from the hands of another elderly woman, and the reason I happened to see these sights was because I myself was at the sale looking at garments I dld::t want and didn't need, and buying them. The bargain chase, the shoppinggame passion or sport, life-work or recreation for it may be any one of theFe, according to the temperament of the woman has American women well in its grip.

"When I first read of the renrarkable effects of Grape-Nuts food, i determined to secure some," says a woman o" Salisbury, Mo. "At that time there was none kept in this own, but my husband ordered somo from a Chicago traveler. "I had been greatly afflicted ith sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary (relief. Ah soon as V began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am to-day perfectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. We would not keep house without Grape-Nuts. "My husband k was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to h;s customers and has built up a very large trade on the food, lie sells them by the case to many of the leading physicians of the county, who recommend Grape-Nuts very generally. There is some satisfaction in trsin;; a really scientifically prepared foud." Read the little book, "The Read to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a II ason." Ever reaJ the above letter?

, Hound Dairy rtarn. The Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station has sent to press a bulletin In which the economy of the round dairy barn Is discussed at considerable length. Comparison of the cost of round dairy barns is discussed at considerable length. Comparisons of tha cost of round barns with rectangular ones. Including the amount and cost of material, the cost of construction, the amount of stock that can be sheltered, the convenience in storing, handling, and distributing the feed, etc., are brpught out very clearly. The bulletins Include cuts and plans of several round barns in actual use,, an itemized statement of the cost of a 60-foot round barn, and cuts showing how the round barn at the agricultural college was built, etc. The conclusions arrived at by the author of the bulletin are that the round barn has a great advantage over a rectangular barn In convenience, strength and cheapness. It is found that the round barn is more convenient because of the compactness wtih which it is built and the ease of getting the feed to the cows. Investigations show that the round barn costs from ti to 5S per -rent loss than the rectangular barn containing the same aoiount of space and built of the same grade of material. t a ii I'HKtearizlus Milk nt Mo me. If milk is not drawn under the .most sanitary conditions it is not advisable to feed it to children without .being BEST TIME

To get the best quality of bay the timothy plants require to be cut when in full bloom. In an experiment made by Prof. Waters of Missouri racks were filled wilti hay cut in different stages cf ripeness. As shown in the illustration, all the early-cut hay was 'eaten before the late-cut was touched. The largest yitld of dry matter was obtained by cutting at the dough stage.

pasteurized. It is very easy to accomplish this wtihout any special apparatus. Put the milk in a milk bottle. Take tin pie plate and punch the bottom full of holes. Turn this upside down in the bottom of the kettle and set the bottle on it. This will prevent bumping when the water is heated. Punch a hole through a piece of cardboard and insert in the top of the bottle. Through this hole suspend a thermometer. A good thermometer with the scale etched on the glass should be used. Heat the water until the thermometer registers 153 degrees. The bottle should be then removed and allowed to stand for twenty or thirty minutes. Cover the bottles with a towel to make them cool off slowly. After twenty or thirty minutes cool the milk as quickly as possible by setting it in cold water. Fertilizing Fruit Trees. After fruit trees come in bearing the best fertilizer Is some form of potash. Wood ashes can not be excelled for fruit trees, as they also contain large proportions of lime. Orchards that are in grass should be plowed occasionally, and some kind of hoc crop grown therein, in order to keep the ground clean and loosen the soil; but the land should be heavily manured, or fertilizer liberally applied, as the soil can not provide for two crops fruit .and grass or gralnrwithout an abundance of plant food. Tu Control Gray Hot. For the prevention of gray rot of grapes one investigator recommends a treatment which he claims is very simple and efficient. Thla consists of thinning the leaves on the north side of the vines and spraying with Bordeaux mixture, to which soap Is added to make it more adherent. The treatment should be made about July 25, or at the stage when the grapes have just about reached their full size. If the fungicide is thoroughly applied at this time no further trouble may be anticipated from this disease. Serviceable Draft Horse. A heavy- draft horse should be longribbed. If a horse 13 short-ribbed he Is light in his middle'and nearly always a poor feeder. : His stomach Is too small to contain enough feed to serve him from one meal to another. When put into hard work he generally has a fagged-out appearance. A light-centered borso seldom weighs well, and weight in a draft horse, it it comes from bone, slnc-w and muscle, goes a long way toward determining his commercial value. Three Kind of Corns. Three kinds of corns to which horses are subject are generally recognized: The dry, moist and suppurating. The dry corn- is recognized by the bloodstained horn and is not attended with excessive inflammation. Moist conns are recognized by the large amount -if Inflammation, shown by the fluid accumulating in the region of the corn. Suppurating com3 are tho moist corns which have became infected wtih pus germs. Itural 'I'hone In the South. Merchants in the South have awakened to thf value of rural telephone j lines, and are seeking to develop them.

CollnpiI)It CliieUen Coop. The average chicken coop made oi a soap box or some other small box is not always convenient for carrying around, and use in different places. An A-shaped coop is little better than an ordinary box. The accompanying sketch, says a Georgia writer in Popular Mechanics, shows a collapsible A shaped coop that can be folded and stored away or carried set up for use anywhere. The main fraoie Is made in foui parts and joined together with hinges as shown in Figure 1. The frame can be covered with wire netting or boards on top part with netting on the ends. The hinged frames provide a way to open either end. A small hook an4 eyo sholud be provided at each end to hold the parts lu place. Alfalfa Xeed Food. It is important to know that there 's little difference between successful alfalfa growing and the successful growing of other crops. Poor farming never brings big crops, nor will poor land produce as big yields as the more fer70 CUT KAY. tile. Failure to resiore to the sail th-? necessary elements of which it ha3 been robbed means the same In New York, Kansas, Virginia or anywhere else. Everj- farm plant, to prosper, must find in the soil, readily available, the elements needed for its develop ment. If a farmer finds the soil lacking In elements needed fcr certain crops ho should either supply the deficiency or not attempt ttieir raising. This i3 true of corn or wheat, cotton or tobacco, no less than alfalfa. Tree Veniilntion. The people of the New England States are proverbial for their veneration of trees, and in these days of ruthless destruction of woods it is refreshing in the extreme to hear of a case like the resident of Kennebunkport, Me., who, rather than to disturb an old tree which grew on his farm upon a site desired for the location of a barn, built the structure around the tree. The barn wall completely circumscribes the tree, but lies at sufficient distance to give the tree plenty of air. The age of this particular tree is not accurately known, but it is one of a pair which is said to have been full-grown trees at the time of the American revolution. Weight ot n.t(nnrt ot Feed. According to figures furnished by tLe Connecticut Experiment Station, the weight of one quart of feed is as follows: Pounds. Cctton-seed meal 1.5 Linseed meal, cid process 1.1 Gluten meal 1.7 Wlieat bran, coarse o.j Wheat middlings, coarse 0.8 Wheat middlings, fine l.l Mixed wheat feed .'. ..O.G Corn meal 'j Oats 1.2 Rye bran 0.6 Wide Waeon Tlrea. As to the desirability of the use of the wido tires there can be no question. The most casual observation will suffice to convince any one of the damage which a heavily laden wagon, equipped with tho ordinary sharp, rounded, narrow tires, will produce on any road. There la also another, and perhaps even greater advantage to be gained by the use of the wido tires viz., tho Increased hauling capacity attained. Taper Milk Dottle. The new paper bottle for milk is attracting some attention. It is shaped something like a large Jelly glass and made of still paper paraflncd and water proof, and folded in such a way as to protect parts through which leakage could occur. Cost is expected to be small and the bottles are to be thrown away after once being used, thus saving labor of cleaning and insuring a fresh bottle each time. Forecasts for Farmers. The Weather Bureau has arranged to give daily weather forecasts by telephone to farmers in Texas. At noon each day rural subscribers are called up, and the weather forecast is announced to all simultaneously. Subscribers in towns and cities can obtain the weather forecast at any time of the day after 11 a. m. by calling up central. i:rrectual Against 3IlldeT. Potassium sulphide (liver of sulphur), three ounces in ten gallons of water. This solutions L3 valuable for the gooseberry and other powdery mil- : dws, for which it seems even more effectual than Bordeaux mixture, although its effects are less lasting. It does not discolor the fruit and is quite harmless. Colleetlng- Altrosren From the Air. Nitrogen is contained in great quantities in the air above us, but it cannot be purchased and used with profit in farming, except under special conditions. Clover and other leguminous I p.ants can draw all they require from tho atmosphere by means of bacteria that live on their roots.

Novel It ope Fnatener. Xo knots are needed with the novo', and effective rope fastener that has just been patented. Therefore, as there is nothing to tie up or unite, its use means a big saving of time. The fastener is shaped like a letter "W" with an inverted "V" on the bottom. This makes three plots, two above and one below, and to fasten a rope the FIRM AS IF TIEP. latter is brought over one of the upper slots, down the lower one and up again over the other arm of the W. Wound over the fastener in this way the rope cannot slip, but will hold Its position as firmly as if tied. This device has a spring hook at the apex of the middle section of the W by which It can b attached to any projection. The fastener will be found very useful on sailboats or for hanging up clothes lines. The average person ties a knot that requires much time and patience to untie. With this fastener he is saved the trouble of making and opening weird knots. Sour Cream lIe. Two eggs ,a. cup of thick, sour cream," three-quarters of a cup cf sugar, one cup of (hopp, d raisins, half teaspocnful of vanilla, pinch of salt. Add the pinch of salt to the yolks of the eggs and bent them very light. Stir In the sour cream, then the sugar and the raisins, mixing thoroughly. Add the vanilla and pcur the mixture into an open crust, r.eat the whites of the eggs light, beat in a scant cup of sugar ond spread over the pie. Bake in a mc!erate oven. . Chestnut Souflle. Mix a rounding tablespoonful of flour and a quarter of a cupful of sug ar. Add a cupful of chestnut kernels, boiled and mashed, then gradually half a cupful of milk. Cook five minutes, stirring constantly. Heat the whites of three eggs until stiff and dry. cut and fold into the first mixture. Fill three-quarters full, set in a pan of hot water and bake In a slow oven until firm to the touch. Turn out and serve with whipped cream or lemon sauce. Clieee Nut. A delicious dish to serve with toast ed crackers and hot coffee. Chop a pint of English walnuts or blanched almonds. If almonds are used, slight ly toast them. Place the layers of chopped nuts in a small pan, alternat Ing with layers of grated cheese and grated bread crumbs; season with but ter (in dots) and dashes of salt and pepper. Soften with a little boiling water and bake twenty minutes. Potted Cheese When leftover cheese grows dry and hard, don't throw It away, but grate to a powder. Put some in a bottle and save to serve with soups, Italian fashion, or cook with macaroni, or add to scallops. The rest of it may be beaten soft with a fork, seasoned with mustard or cayenne, and reduced to a pasto with a little vinegar. This i3 fine to spread on saltines or crackers. or for a sandwich filling. . Cocoa nut Macaroon a. ' Wet one and a half cups of powdered sugar with a little cream, just enough to dampen it well. Boat the whites of two eggs stiff and gradually whip into them the rccistened sugar, then beat in two cups of grated cocoanut When the mixture Is very light drop It by the faspoonful upon buttered pa per and bako quickly to a light brown Oraiigc Salad. Peel ripe oranges. diWle into lobes and cut each lobe with a sharp knife into three pieces if the oranges are large, into twohits 'if small. Set on the ice until edid, arrange on crisp lettuce leaves and add a mayonncise dressing. Hints About the House. . The ribs ot a discarded umbrella may bo utilized for tying up tall and willowy palms in pots. j Nutmegs should always be grated starting front the blossom end. They grate better that way. ' When making cookies you can color them pink by adding pink sugar. For party cakes cover them with white and chocolato icing. It is said that good black ink mixed with the white of an egg is excellent to restore the color to black kid shoes and gloves both. Lamp chimneys should never be washed. Namp a cloth in alcohol and rub them with it and it will clean and polish them. A tasty sandwich is made of stoned dates, to which some walnut meats Jiave been added, the whole chopped very fine and spread thickly on the bread. To clean neglected lacquered brass wash it gently in lukewarm water, rub with cloth dipped in equal parts of vinegar and lemon juice and then polish with dry leather. To remove scratches on furniture. dip a woolen rag in boiled linseed oil and with It well rub the scratched ar ticle, which should then be varnished with shellac dissolved in alcohol. New linen for working upon should be rubbed over with a dry cake of soap. This will render the fabric soft to that drawing threads or embrold ering upon It will be much facilitated Boiled potatoes should be served as soon as they are cooked. To make them drier drain off the water quick y, shake them in a strong dralt of air and do not put back the lid on the pot. When making glue you will find that the addition or a little glycerin in creases Its adhesive quality and make; It more elastic. One part of glycerin to three parts of gluo Is the right proportion. Recent experiments in the uso of fuel show that even when gas is used It is more economical to buy cheap cuts of meat that require long cooking than to pay the higher prices for choicer cuts. If the brush of the sweeper is dipped in keroseno about once a month it will be found that the lint and dust will come out in a mat. that the sweeping will rals no dust and that the rugs will look much fresher.

Don't Feed Corn. The laying hen is not apt to become over fat. Nevertheless, it is a mis take to keep her on a diet of corn, expecting her to manufacture eggs from that article. Corn is no egg food. Wnrm Wheat for Ur'nkfaat. Warm wheat is a fine breakfast for hens. Place the vessel containing the wheat in the oven, and let emain until the grains feel quite warm to the hands; the same for shelled com at night during very cold weather. Freh There are never too many eggs in the markets that are strictly fresh. and the farmer who will take the .man agement of his fowls from the female members of the family, keep large flocks and seek his customers, will find poultry more profitable than larger stock in proportion to capital Invested, i (reen Food for ChicUn. Watch the little chicks hunt for tin tender sprouts of green growing things. Green food is a great help in securing strong thrifty chicks and rapid STrowth. When greed stuff is scarce early in the spring we divide the carry crop of lettuce with thi chicks. Sometimes we chop up onions for them. MaUInu: Hens (irow I.nrjje. A poulard is a hen from which, the ovaries have been taken. These hens grow to great size, as a rule. At one time. In some of the old countries, pullets were poularized much as the eocke-rels were caponized. They, made a larger market fowl. In our country eggs are of üiore value than hen nioat, and so you seldom hear of ft here. A Question of Feed. When fowls have free range they will thrive very well on one kinds of grain, such as corn, Kaffir corn or wheat, for they can pick up so much on the 'range that will counterbalance the one variety of grain and tend to make a balanced ration. But when fowls are-confined to small runs they must have a variety of grains to do well, as well as some green food and meat. Agricultural Epitomist. When the Crop Is. Packed. 1 It may .not be possible to save the chicks whose crops have become packed with food. Give a little of the charcoal to sweeten the contents of crop. Then give a liberal dose of sweet oil and knead the crop with the fingers. If you succeed in getting the mass to move down the digestive tube or in removing It through the mouth, follow It up with a half teaspoonful of castor oil to clear the digestive tract and then feed carefully on soft food (or a few days. Stlninlnted Hens.' An expert on the subject says nature Intended a ben to lay at most 24 eggs in a year. The modern commercial hen is expected to lay from 150 to 250 eggs a year., T& enable her to achieve that feat a highly stimulating unnatural process -of feeding is required. One breeder in Tasmania obtained results by feeding curds of skimmed milk obtained by usin rennet. He is quoted as saying: 'in a dairy country it will pay farmers better to feed skimmed milk to laying hens than to pigs." Agricultural Epitomist. Constituents of Dry Feed. The dry feed mixture with us consists of pure wheat bran and ground corn hearts, or corn hearts meal, as it might be called, and dried beef scraps, which latter are also ground ud till seirr.e- coarser than wheat brariS We mix It in the proportion of two-fifths each of the bran and the corn bear's, and one-fifth of the beef scraps. This makes an excellent mixture, which we keep in the boxes mentioned, before the hens all the time. Of course, It must be kept, in th dry, as it would become sour and moldy if wet. Southern Fruit Grower. , i Poultry In Orchard. The poultry yard, if stocked on purpose and . fenced to order around th' home orchard, pays both ways. You place the fowls in the way of grass, grit and-water, and they help you to selected fruit with no insects in sight You get better apples, cleaner plums. healthier hens and stronger eggs in the orchard sunshine and shade, and the chicks are not as apt to" die in the shell. Every tree won't bear every year, but every season the hen has a full crop for herself and two more of meat and eggs for her master. Tfie constant scratching of a large flock ot hens conserves soil moisture and Is un excelled surface tillage. Rural World. It ii nn! it k un Inculintor. Get good eggs. Have them fresh as possible. While eggs a fortnight old will hatch fairly well, those laid only a week will hatch better. Put in what eggs you want to hatch, or have conveniently for the purpose, according to the size of your machine, then close it up and keep it shut tight for 48 hours. As it takes the eggs nearly this length of time tc be warmed through, the thermometer will drop below the required standard, but if the flame is kept as it was before the eggs were put in the temperature is sure to rise again and everything be all right. To insure a good, steady flame the lamp should be filled and cleaned and the wick trimmed every night. At the end of 4S hours the egg, want to be taken out and turned twice every day just enough to keep the jlks !"rom settling to one side; and on te seventh day they should be tested and the infertile ones discarded. Again test them on the tenth and fourteenth days for dead eggs, and such as are found to be no good rc.dove. If the machine has been properly run, hatching will begin on the nine teenth and twentieth days. The door of the incubator then should not bo opened until the twenty-first day, or the hatch is nearly over. Exchange. A web cf filament two and one-quar ter miles long has been taken from the
