Eighteen?
Do you iernember
those ages, when your
character was being
iormed -- how you
followed examples, did
what other people did—
your senior years at
school— your start in
business? Recall them
if you can. You gained
a knowledge you will
find useful when your
own boy starts out.
Give him the right start. Teach him the value of
Personal appearance and self respect. Tell him how
confidence rnay be gained merely from axle= shave—or,
better still, show him—and show him in a practical way.
t Give him a
GILLETTE Safety Razor
and make his morning shave come easy. The old time
pulling and scraping is a thing of the past. The
haphazard element is gone. There is no need for your
boy to know anything but the ease and comfort of the
Gillette shave. It is the razor of his tine—that to whiah
be is entitled—nothing more, nothing less.

AUTtIttli POR rR PLAN'eING,
Autumn is a good time to plant

A ti Dlanted in the autumn re-
rea,ine in its place, dormant for sev-
eral looths. During that time the
soil settles and adjusts Itself to the
tree; and the tree starts to grow tit
the Mit Mena of spring.
• All ares canbe safely planted in
the autuinn, but it is advised not to
Plant the stone fruits, such as peaches,
plums and cherries, until spring. Still
these hevei been planted frequently in
New Jersey and New York in the
ItUtUIBIL Without 10$0.
It is important that trees to be
transplanted be taken up carefully,
carefully handled and planted.
Trees do not naturally live out of
• the soil and when removed should be
onee covered with some damp me-
tertal and proteeted from drying winds
• and the -sun. Then get them in the
soil again as quickly as posible and
with as little exposure as possible.
Dig the holes deeper than the long-
est roots. Holes dug much deeper
than needed, with all stones removed
and the soft earth replaced, give the
tender young roots a fine Opportunity
• to push (town into the soft soil, instead
O t meeting With hardpan to check

extension. The same is true in mak-
. Ins the holes wider than necessary.
In setting the trees use water freely
and give them a mulch of manure or
lawn clippings to proteet them from
dry weather. Enrich from the sur-
face, the following spring.
If these suggestions are followed
autumn planted trees will live and

METHODS OF FATTENING.
A. course of final conditioning must
be adapted to the nature of the fowl,
With some it occupies a few days;
with others, weeks. Some fare better
'with freedom, others must be con-
finea. -
Geese acquire avoirdupois most rap-
idly when their quarters are restricted. •
Activity permitted by range weuld•de-
feat the purpose. They must be com-
fortable and contented with the half -
keg of water and a sand -pile. No
shelter, except in severe climates, is
necessary. Ducks, too, are fattened
more quickly when penned awhile. e
Prom four to six or s.eveit weeks
are required to fatten geese, and the
Period has some connection with their
Leathering,. They 'should be" taken in
hand one -iveek after they are plucked.
Goose -raisers agree that a full -plum-
aged goose will not fatten appreciably.
When new feathers are growing the
goosens subdued and hungrier.
With the attainment of feathers
they become restless. .It is useless to
feed -longer in hope of irereasing
weight. Of all fowls, geese are con-
ditimed with most exnense. But the
farmer can economize by giving them
"nubbins" and softened inferior corn.
The nature ot • the Museovy duck
bars penning. Most of ahem glean a
good fattening ration front the corn
piles. After a• fed days i» a coop they
are ready for killing or shipping.
Turkeys demand -unrestricted lib-
erty. For 'several weeks before it is
intended to :hip them, they should te
given a fattening ration regularly,
with emphasis on regularly. This
mottle a mashof coarse corn meal
with bran and ainelfa, or whole corn
with sereeninge or oats, as one may
have accustomed the flock. It is un-
wise toprecipitate a flock fresh from
the fields into an all -corn ration. It
sometimes upsets their livers seri-
-
• ously,
Chickens with their robust diges-
tions and more robust appetites plump
quickly, whether at large or not. If
haste is urgent, it is advisable to put
them in the fatteningioop.

THE WORKING DAY.
Row Many Hours Should a Man
Be Iteq111red to Labor.
The perrennial question "How
many hours a day Mould be devoted
to work?" is the topic discussed by
e writer in the London Illustrated
News, who affirms "that from the
scientific point of view much is to
be said for the further limitation of
the hours of work." He also contends
that the Med of work indulged in
should more or less govern the num-
ber of hours to be spent at it. As he
remarks:
