Perhaps no Otte feature of poultry reifi- ing has so many diffloultiee attached to it as the care and raising of Chicks, It le not eo difAoult to katals a /Me brood, but to properly raise it requires considerable ilne and attentioa. To he've success with poultry it ie necessary to consider the de- tails of the work. In the chicks ono numb look for the laying stook the next fall and winter, and bear in mind that every chick counts whorl adding up the total for the season, The best results in raising chicks have been obtained by completely, controlling them at all times ; that is, by putting each brood in a separate 000p and run, where every attention may be given to their wel- fare and coniforb. By such an arrangement not only is labor Bayed, but tho brood is tr, PIG. 1. PERseaerrva may OP IMPROVED OHIOKEN COOP. free from the annoyances and inconveni- ences of other poultry. • Experience has taught me that this is the right way to care for them, and the casualties resulting therefrorn have, indeed, been small when compared with previous efforts in this line. In building the coop consider first the dry- ness of the same ; take everyaprecaution to make it waterproof, for nothing is snore detrimental tb the libtle chicks than damp- ness. Numerous losses are occasioned by their becoming chilled with the wet, which resulte in diarrhcea and death. It matters not how the coops are built, whether of a drygoods box or specially constructed; see that it has a floor to shut out the dampness from the ground, and a roof that sheds rain. , The coops shown in the illustrations will avert many inconveniences. In this plan the coops are built three innumber, on the same principle that poultry houses are ar- ranged to contain a variety of fowls with separate runs attached. Each division is .2orr ,2F7 2/7 FIG. 2, FRONT ELEVATION. separate and can be used for one, two or three broods at a. time, if desired. The general custom is to have individual coops placed promiscuously around the yard ; by this arrangement they are in one spot and easy of attention, saving much labor when 4 number of broods are hatched at one tine. W hen the hens and broods are allowed. to roam at will for the first three weeks, there is no telling how many may be lost before they attain the age to resist the variations of the weather and to care for thernselves. By confining them for two or three weeks they are enabled to receive every attention needed for their rapid growth and develop- ment ; in the coops here shown they are free from the molestation of the older birds, or the angry peck of an ill-natured hen as they scramble for food and drink. The mother hen has nothing to detract her attention from .the young, and performs her maternal duties in a motherly way, to the advantage of the youngsters. The ground plan of the coop is six feet square, with three divisions two by six feet each. One-half of the frame it covered with matched boards, to serve as a floor for the inclosed part. The highest part is three and one-half feet, sloping toward the rear; the open portions are covered with one -inch wire mesh. The partitions of the enclosure are solidboardettwo feet high with laths at -{ Ift : - • SIG 3. SIDE ELEVATION. the top to afford ventilation; the partitions of wire runs are made of lats, planed one- half inch apart, to avoid fighting between the hens, but permit a free passage of air from one space to the other. The roof should be made as close as pos- sible, and covered with toned paper to in- sure dryness within; the sides should be buil& of even boards and atripped over the cracks with one-half by three-ineh strips. Place dry earth on the floors of the inclosed parts one inch thick, and a little straw in the rear for the hens and chicks, to lie on. In the wired parts cover the ground to a thickness of two inches with white sand; this prevents dampness after a rain. Keep the entire coop well cleaned and whitewash. ed, and occasionally sprinkle insect powder in the corners to keep onb vermin. Place water in fountains in the runs; scatter the grain food on bhe ground and feed the soft f000 in pane to avoid the waste parts sour- ing on the ground. Never feed or place the water fountains in the closed part, as this is intended for roosting only. When taking the hen and brood from the nest, they should be kept in the roosting part fora couple of days; the lattice door separ- ating the coop and the run should be closed during this time to keep the hen confined, but the brood may have tree access through the lattice door to the run. After this, the lettioe door may be kept raised, and the hen and brood can use the entire apace of house and run. When the chicks have grown sufficiently strong, the Outer door may be raised, and the brood can range on the grass during good weather, and be cooped hero at night until the hon leaves them, when they should have free range to themselves and be cooped in a different house until they aro ready for the pens in the fall.

Any neighborhood which can furnish 400 cows or more within a radius of four miles may feel justified in organizing a ozio-opera- tive oreamery. • ()ream of different ages should not be mixed immediately before being put in the churn. It may be mixed, but it should be done twelve hours before churning. That is, no cream should be mixed with that which has been preperly ripened, unless it be. done twelve hours before churning, or long enough for it all to be equal in ripe- ness before being churned. We do not make butter for eur own use; we cannot afford to do so, for the separator extracts more butter from the milk than we cam get out. The patrons take all the milk to the factory and receive in return the very beat quality of butter for home use and a large milk check besides, all procured by so little labor, comparatively speaking, that the happy farmer smilingly passes half the amount to his still happier wife, who feels grateful for having lived to see so great a revolution. LARGEST ENGINE IN' THE WORLD. It Is Owned by the City of Hartford, - Connecticut. The largest and most powerful steam fire engine in the world is owned by the city of Hartford, Conn. The name with which she has been christened, "Jumbo," is one to which her dimensions will entitle tier. Over ten feet high and seventeen feet long, she weighs eight and a half tons, and can throw 1,350 gallons of water per minute. Her boiler contains 01 copper tubes. This engine at her first trial threw through fifty feet of hose, 3 1-2 inches in diameter, a horizontal stream of water a distance of 348 feet, and threw two streams of water, each as large as that thrown by the ordinary steam engine, a distance of over 300 feet.. The size of this leviathan is better appreciated when we think that a common horse draught engine only weighs about 6,000 pounds and has a capacity of only 600 gallons per minute. The road driving power of this engine is applied through two endless chains running over spocket wheels on each of the main gear wheels, permitting the wheels to be driven at varying speeds when turning cor- ners. The engine may be run either for- ward or backward, and can be stopped in- side of fif ty feet when running at full speed. When in the house the boiler is connect- ed with steam pipes from a boiler in the basement, and steam is always kept up to about 95 pounds, which would run her about a quarter of a mile. The fire box is kept full of material ready for lighting and a steel arm under the engine carries a quantity of waste saturated with kerosene oil in close proximity to a card of matches in a holder under a scratcher'the latter being tied to cord attached to a ring in the floor. At an alarm of fire the steam pipes are disconnected, the throttle opened and before the engine has moved six in- ches the cord pulls the scratcher and the hod carrying the . blazing waste swings around under the firebox, igniting the shavings and wood. Cannel coal is burned and steam enough can be generated in two minutes to run the engine at a speed of thirty-one miles an hour. Doesn't it Seem Funny? That it is a cold day when a man is fired.

It la Pot for the guest to dictate or eriti else the manner or method 01 ids eAtortwin• :neut. It is his place, of cone, simply to fall in as readily and heartily as may be with the ways of the family and the wishes of his hoat or hostess. But when he—more partieularly, she—becomes in turn the one to entertain, then may wisdom, be learned from sad experiences. Oise of the pitfalls into which a hostess may fall is the serious mistake of over. entertaining guests. There are a few benighted individuals in the world who desire and expect constant attention and a continual holiday when they are visiting. It is impossible to do too much for themi or make too much of them. But by far the larger proportion of the visitors in our homes belong to a dif- ferent order ot creation. They are those who have something to give as well as to receive. They also, most of them, have "wells within themselves"—as it has been so forcibly expressed by a successful edu- cator --from whioh they can draw for at least a portion of their entertainment, and it is for these guests that I plead. A lady once told me about a visit she had recently made in a most charming and cultured home. She was there two or three days, and during the whole time she was not left alone with her thoughts for five moments during the whole day. After she made her descent from her room in the morning until she retired at night, 'some -one of the family was at hand to entertain her. The very fact that those entertainers, severally and collectively, were most de- lightful and enjoyable. only added to the, mental fatigue at, night after a day of con- stant social and intellectual activity. Of course the family did not experience the same difficulty because they visited by relays, taking turns in staying with the guest as one and another went about her household duties, while the poor guest was always visiting. It so happened on this occasion that a cold snap or some unusual occurrence rendered the guest -room im- possible . for a refuge, and so without a moment's relief or rest, the over•entertained guest chatted and smiled and listened and visited almost to the point of mental ex- haustion. Many a person, too, seeking much-needed rest and change, has returned home after a. visit, having secured plenty of the latter but none of the former. His host has dragged him from one place of interest to another,trom one social occasion to another, from one excursion to another— all *pleasant' and full of enjoyment,— 'Intl' the brain fairly reeled, and the hour of departure was hailed as a blessed relief from the charming,but nevertheless galling, chains of over -entertainment. To escape a painful and lamentable ex- perience with this pitfall, an entertainer need only keep in mind on the one hand the Golden Rule, and on the other the fact that every guest supposably has, either in his own mind or in the pleasant experi- ences you have already furnished him, sufficient food for reflection so that a half- hour's cessation of hostilities—as it really sometimes needs to be expressed—will be not only acceptable, but welcomed. Neal -Time Topics. • A tendency to introduce at meal -time topics of a melancholy or disagreeable nature cannot be too strongly discouraged, The subjects of table -talk ought to be even more carefully chosen than those of parlor conversation. Yet in some households it is not unusual that discussions of recenterimes or scandals are opened at meal -time. (inc relates bad dreams, another describes minutely the ills whioh he suffers, and still another seems to find comfort in announcing the death and funeral of friends and neigh- bors. Such subjects are not conducive to the cheerfulness which is the best of sauces, and are best treated at other hours than the ones devoted to breakfast, lunch or dinner Recipes. Ice Cream. —This is considered a very nice recipe and is very easily made. Take equal parts of cream and milk and sweeten it verpsweet. Flavor with any extract desired. Pour it in the freezer with plenty of rock salt and ice around it, and let it stand fifteen minutes before stirring. After stirring it for fifteen minutes it will be a nice cream. • Canned Plums. --These make a nice aatice and are less rich than the preserves to which many object on the ground of their unwholesomeness. Prick with a needle to prevent bursting; prepare a syrup allowing a gill of pure water and a quarter of a pound of sugar to every three quarts of fruit. When the sugar is dissolved and the water blood -warm, pub in the plums, Heat slowly to a boil. Let them boil five minutes—not fast or they will break badly fill up the jars with pier% poor_ in the scalding syrup until it runs down the sides, and seal. Green -gages are very fine put up in this way; also damsons for pies. Household Hints. A small dinner it: usually followed by general conversation, and perhaps a little music by one or several of the company,and the guests take their departure at ten o'clock or it little later. Group your guests with a discreet regard for their congeniality. If possible, give your refrigerator a good sunning once a month, Roll it into the yard, wash out every crack and oreviee with warm soap euds, scrub each rack with soda and water, and then let a sun bath iish the purifying process. n excellent wash for the hands is made as • flows One gallon rain -water, one-half ou e powdered borax, a package of oat - me 1. Let 'stand a day or two, then drain off he liquid, leaving the oatmeal. This wa h may have a little alcohol added, if des red, to keep it for any length of time. S turate the paint spots on your wool dre s with spirits of timpentine, and lot it re ain several hotirs,*hoo, by rubbing the Apo s between the hends, the paint will cru ble away from the fabric.

Many a woman would be happier and live loeger if ehe would meke up her mind to adopt these rules. Canning FrUlt and VegetableS. A novice in the art of canning fruits and, vegetables will likely learn by experience that the promise requiree tee exercise ot good judgment and vigilance on her part, as the slighesb deviation 'from either of the rules that insure success, will certainly bring about unsatisfactory rosette. Ex- perienee lea perhaps, the best teacher, but the process is elow, and the many disato pointments that follow experiments tried by ambitious young housekeepers, fre- quently discourages further effort on their part to become adepts in an art which seems so difficult to learn. Cherries, currants, raspberries, plums and peaches ems be easily preserved by putting the fruit into strong wide-mouthed bottles, corked seourely. Make a cement of lime and soft cheese. Spread out on. pieces of linen and. secure over the top vvith wire. The bottles should be enclosed separately in stout canvas bags and put into a kettle of water heated to boiling point. They are thus kept until the fruit is boiled in its own juice. Set aside for a day or two. Examine eaoh bottle carefully before storing, to see if it is securely fastened. Another .method is to pack the fruit in air -tight jars. Add one pound of granu- lated sugar to three quarts of water, boil briskly for fifteen minutes, pour the hot syrup over the fruit, screw the lids half way on the jars and stand them in a kettle containing bot water. Put an iron spoon in the kettle to prevent the jars from cra,c1c- ing, boil over a brisk fire for twenty minutes. Remove the jars from the water and screw the tops on tightly. Stand away in a cool, dark place. Examine the jars occasionally, and tighten the tops if neces- sary. Over ripe tomatoes should never be used. for canning. Select only the firmest varieties. Scald and pare carefully, using glass jars if possible. Stand the jars in a kettle containing hot water and boil for at least half an hour. It is best not to seal the jars until they are removed from the water. Seep the tomatoes in a cool, dark place,eover with cloth or paper, so that not even a stray ray of light can reach them. Tin cans should be used tor preserving corn. Carefully remove every particle of "silk" from the ears, avoid cutting it too closely. Fill the cans, seal up, leaving an air hole in the cover. Place them in hot water and boil three hours, then seal up the air hole and boil three hours longer; Pear: and beans can be prepared the same way. Always remember to select the choicest, firmest fruits and vegetables that are un- mistakably fresh, for canning, as no amount of care and labor will insure* the preservation of stale, over ripe mate- rials, The Graves of Royal Dogs. One of the most interesting spots in the immediate vicinity of Windsor Castle, the summer residence of Queen Vic- toria, is the celebrated " Graveyard for Royal Dogs." It seems that Victoria's husband, the late Prince Albert, was pas. sionately fond of dogs, and from the inacrip. tions on the largest of the "monuments" in this royal canine burial ground, it is to be inferred that the Prince was the first to mourn the loss of a favorite four -footed companion, the inscription on the slab in question is as follows : MAURICE, Favorite Mount St. Bernard of H. R. H., the Prince Consort, Died November, 1864. Near by is the grave of "Prince, Scotch terrier; died February 6, 1374," and a little further on is a slab marked "Nellie, mother to Bess, Flora, and Sailor.; died October 12, 1886." Another little marble slab, about one foot in length, near the grave of Nellie informs the reader of the inscription that it marks the last resting place of "Mina, daughter of Conan and Princess. Born February, 1869 ; died February, 1873." Within a few paces of the grave of Mina is a slab erected 'To the Memory ,of Dot, granddaughter of Corran; died May 3, 1881, aged nine years." Mau- rice was the favorite of the Prince Consort, "Gipsy," of the Queen herself. The little monument over Gipsy's grave says that she "died March 15, 1868." Gas Not Needed.

HARTFORD CITY, Blackford County, Indiana, Jane Sth, 1898. South American Medicine Co. Gentlemen; I received a letter from you May - 27th, stating that you had heard of my wonderful recov- ery from a spell of sickness of six years duration, through the use of SOUTH AISERIOAN NERVINE, and asking for my testimonial. I was near thirty-five years old when I took down with nervous prostration. Our family physician treated me, but with- out benefitting me in the least. My nervous system seemed to be entirely shattered, and I constantly had very severe shaking spells. In addition to this I would have vomiting spells. During the years I lay sick, my folks had an eminent physician from Day- ton, Ohio, and two from Columbus, Ohio, to come and examine me. They all said I could not live. I got to having spells like spasms, and would lie cold and stiff for a time after each. At last I lost the use of tny body—could not rise fron2 my bed tte el • eels ' iiiiteeetalfM" eaffn or walk a step, and had to be lifted, like a child, Part of the time oould read a little, and one day saw an advertisement of your medicine and concluded to try one bottle. By the time I had taken one and one- half bottles I could rise up and take a step or two by being helped, and after I had taken five bottles in all I felt real well. The shaking went away gradually, and I could eat and sleep good, and my friends could scarcely believe it was I. I am sure this medicine is the best in the wor1d4 I belive it savecl,._/ Le. I give my narae and address, so that if anyone doubts my statement they can write me, or our postmaster or any citizen, as all are acquainted with my ease. I am now forty-one years of ageo and expect to live as long as the Lord has use for me and do all the good I can in helping the suffering. Miss Bum,: STOLTZ.
