Poultry ya.rd and smell fruit
tie/a
Have you got them If not, you are
losing much enjoyment in your life;
how inueh yon cannot know untit, after
their possession, :volt are deprived of
the luxuries they have given you. To
enjoy all the nice, fresh eggs, and a ten-
der chick, or flue fowl, anytime we 'wish
and need them, it 'requires a nice little
yard of poultry well cared for. We shall
not etate any number, for this must be
dehided by the size and demand of eaeh
family, but a smell flock will eupply
goodly number of eggs. Choose but one
breed. and keep it pure, and about once
tei three years purchase a fine new male
bird to infteee new blood. The best re-
sults in eggs and chicks have followed
this plan. For those who can provide
proper rooms and runs, to or three
breeds ean be reared profitably.
The light and dark Brahma, Ply-
mouth Rock, Wyandotte, Leghorn,
or Minorea make up a good. choice to
select from, but ae we said before, start
with one variety and master it. Thie
is the time to decide about starting a
yard. Choose which you consider best.
The pure strains and breede itt all
classes of foie pay mueh the best. First
look to your home supply, then you can
eaelly find out what the best market
pear you detnands. This will have great
Influence on your increasing the busi-
ness to a profitable return to you.
In the land set apart for your yards
you ean just as well receive from most
of it a double return. The fowls must
have shade in sutumer time and it must
be supplied in some way. Raspberries
make good shade for growing chicks.
Pima and pear trees are also good for
iihade, and the fruit that drops from the
trees is eagerly eaten by the chickens.
rhe manure from the birds is good for
the trees and bushee, and thus both are
benefited. If you have never seen fowls
allowed free run in an early apple or-
ehard, you can have no idea how they
relish the very mellow and over ripe
rich apples. Besidee, it gives. the right
kind of food to growing <licks along
with increased corn rations and ale° in
something tesually wasted.
Ladiet. if you wish pleasant and
profliehee work, buy a few fine hens
and some nice, email fruit blushes and
trees, and my word for it, you -will '
say it .is the grandest pursuit you ever
struck.
A few weeks ago the writer saw a
flock of White Langshans that was,
indeed, a pretty sight. Located on
the meadow of a beautiful farm—
their elegance and spotless plumage
brought forth my adnairation. The
White Langshan ie not different from
the black or original variety -- conse-
quently, all who have seen the tlack
Lengshan can displace the color, and
eeei in them, the White Langelian.
Some farmers have not kept either
color, not that they are too inferior
to merit thefy ownership, but from the
fact that they are eomparatively
new fowl and yet to be tried. The
light Brahma and Plymouth Rock are
such great favorites among the best for
thie purpose in winter weather. They
are large, majestic fowls, fully as
large as the light Brahmas, and. a
strikingly attractive bird to look at.
Brigitt, red combs and wattles, feath-
ered lege, full cuehion tail for hens,
and large, well -formed, arch tail for
males. You could find few better
fowls for farm purpoees than the
Langhshan, and. you ehouild buy now
and, try them the coming winter.

An important consideratin in deter,
mining the feeling value of corn, silage
as oompared with that of corn stover,
fodder -corn or bundle -corn, is that in en-
silage the whole of the plant, including
the stems, la converted into succulent
and nourishing food. When, fed in any
of the other forms the stems are reject-
ed, and are ot value only as they gradu-
ally add to the humus of the soil.
Unses,ked lime is recommended to ab-
sorb excess of moisture in the cellar in
which fruits and vegetables are stored.
It will absorb a limited amount, but a
geed center drain, together with good ven-
tilation, will take care of ground water.
It le a good thing to air the cellar on
mild dayin winter, closing the openings
at night. The ventilators may safely
be left open for several hours when the
outside temperature is several degreese
below freezing.

The question of eugenics is the most

to deal. The nation which -permits the

modesty have played havoc far too

Since the fact is perpetual, why or
how men and women continue to ape
the ostrich (knowing that their children
are sure to become sophatioated) is one

Chinese trade enterprise was soon felt
in the western world and the Emperor
Heliogathabhis is reported to have been
the first Roman Emperor to wear gar-
ments entirely made fro tu silk. From
early in the third century to the sivt.h
century the imowledge }.f $i1k. in fine
weaving was snroading all over ..\.‘i1 and
also ill Egypt. The Persians and :.;yrians
were then masters, of the art. Seri ()tit ra i
. subjects were being woven into silk and
many splendid examples of the art as
the!" practised are distributed through-
out Europe. its spread in the west itid
not, however, take place till the twelfth
century, when the influence of Spain was
. felt and the Moorisdt wearers were mak-
ing a specialty of it in Grettadi.
In. the fourteenth eentary fancy wettv-
ing Was undertaken by wearers through-
out Europe, though the French and
lItalians gave the beet examples of the
tint.
Interne' title, of verioue materials now
was the general zule, tend magnificent
patterns of goods with wool inierinixed
with silk were produced. Later in the
development are aties, datiotoki and
taffetas, and still later Italian vel vete
and cloths of gold. Italian weavers
through stress of civil wags left their
country and settled in FlandeINS, 1\ilere
the art was practised with further pro-
gress. New designs were introduced and
znaterials, and .from that time to the
end of the eighteenth century the French
weavers held first plefee. •
For 150 years the Freneh iigured duffs
were unsurpassed. A school of designers
arose in the country as soon as the art

a realiern that has predominated, in
French patterns. Soon after the revoea-

wea-vers left France and establielied the
industry in Spitalfields, in Cheeeire, in
Yorkathire and elsewhere in inland, as
well as tin Germany at Orefeld. lillber-

The Northeastern Irielx industry of
damask weaving owe e much to French
refugees who settled there towaird the

by Sir Felix Semen in his letter to the

come too well established for effective
