%pthér’s i_)oll Story New Year's Eve ce upon a time a nice family of dolls thought it would be great fun to ‘- haye a New Year’s party. 80 after their mamma, the little girl who owned thew, had gone to sleep ';‘he biggest doll, whose name was Molly, grabbed a kettle and started to mgke some molasses candy. The big boy dol), Ted, said: “Let me stir it. I know how.” So Molly gave him a big spoon, and 3 'I‘eg stood on a high chair, and every time the molasses bubbled up he stir- red it like anything so it would not burn down on the bottom of the kettle. “I want to help, too!" shouted Tiny. the smallest doll. : 8o Molly gave her a little piece of butter to rub on the plate, because mo- lasses candy is such sticky stuff that if you don’t butter it you waste a ‘whole lot. ‘When Tiny had a big white plate ail #hiny with butter she wanted to help 8ome more. ‘“Let me stir it!" she cried. “All right,” said Ted. *“My. arm aches stirring, so you take a turn at it. But let Molly watch you so you won't tumble in, just like a baby.” But, alas, Molly was too busy pour- ing the flavor in the kettle, and when she wasn’t looking poor little Tiny slipped and fell right into the hot mo- lasses. She caught on the spoon and burned only her arm. So the party - Wwas all ‘stopped.. while Ted ran to get the doctor to bandage Tiny's arm. “Happy New Year’s!” shouted Tiny. waving her bandaged arm, while all the other dolls dug off spoonfuls of | sticky candy from the sides of the pot. Just as if it had been a real party. Collie Saves Terrier's Life. A true story comes from Hudson, ., from A. N. Starkey. living en af farm northwest of that village. He owns a collie and a rat terrier. The latter disappeared and after being searched for was given up for dead. The collie, however. acted very strange- ly. Immediately after being given food he disappeared and did not return again until the next mealtime. Mem- bers of the family decided to foNow him. They did so. and a half mile from the house the poor little rat ter- rier was found caught in a t; which had been set for mink. The collie had been carrying food in his mouth to his little friend for over a week and was overjoyed to think help had come to the rat terrier. The latter was soon released and tenderly carried home to be given proper care. Put one pound of round steak through a meat chopper and seasor with salt, pepper and chopped onion.

Hons Will Lay In Winter If Properly Handl Why don’t hens lay at this time of- the year? = : \ They do, if their owner is on to his ob. " It 1s about as natural for a hen to lay in the fall and winter as it is for roses to bloom at the same season. But the expert poultryman nowadays | ' with his modern methods of breeding, of feeding, of housing and of handling has his hens to lay 200 or more eggs per year and to lay a%goodly number of these in the winter, says the Kan- sas Farmer. . Can an ordinary farmer or small poultry keeper get a good winter yield of eggs? He can if he will have a properly built house, not meaning an expensive one, but a house that poultry use and live in and can’t be kept out of. He can if he will feed the modern way or feed all grain in litter; feed beef, scraps, fish scraps or milk—ani- mal protein—heavily; feed dry mashes and perhaps wet mashes. Feed plenty of grit and oyster shells, The digestive apparatus of a chicken demands grits. The feeding is the big element in governing the egg yield. Pessimistic. “Did you meet any nice men while you were away 2’ “Yes, mother; lots of them.” “Lots of them! There aren’t that many in the whole world.”—Detroit Free Press.
