It is not that 1 have lost my interest in the Corner. _No, indeed; for I read every letter printed each Saturday morming, and enjoy them so much; but I want to write and tell you how nice I think the “Children’s "Page” is—so enter- taining and instructive. I hope they will not get ahead of us grown-ups. I think it would be nice if we had an original story about once a month in our Corner. No doubt there are many sisters who could write them, have the best one published about the mid- dle of the month, and I think we would all be watching for story-telling day. What do you think?

T removed the poultice from my hend and saturated it from the cruet and bound it on again with al- most . immediate relief. I laid’ down and slept -comfortably without more pain. I worked at my usual work next day, and the second again had my hand considerably in cold water, with a return of pain and swelling and pur- ple_soreness for my lack of wisdom. In ‘the smail hours of the morning I arose in intense suffering, cut the center from a slice of broad and emp- tied the vinegar cruet upon it and bound the mass upon my throbbing finger, retiring in a few minutes to quiet ‘sleep.

ABOUT SETTING HENS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:— ““When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war.” When one farmer :«u another new, the first question “Got any chickens yet?” “No, T haven't any _yet, but have eight hens settmg in the cellar, and 1 am trying an improvement on the box to put them In to eat. I put four slat ©oops 50 to take off half at once, and it «cellar has a dirt bottom, dig up the dirt so the hen can dust, or if the floor is contrete, put dirt in, place them so that by opening the ‘door the sun will shine “on them, They seem to-enjoy 2 dust ath. Put the eating and king' dishes on a block %0 the dirt won't get into the feed. Whole corn and sharp grit is the best fead for the setting hen. A good, sharp grit is made by hammering up broken dishes (not glass). If 1t is necessary to wash ‘the eggs they should be washed with a woolen cloth and lukewarm water. Greasy hands, or cloth, will spoil an’ egg for hatching; so will rough handling. A good ‘idea is to mark the eggs be- fore putting them under the hen, as she sometimes lays a few eggs after setting, and these could then be ‘taken ut, ax’ they would ibe too late in hatch- g; also, there would be too many. It 1s better to have not over 11 this month than to spoil the hatch by first one getting cold, and then another. The eggs can be tested the fifth day, then placing the eggs under fewer hens, leaving a hen for a new setting. ‘Waterford. MA.

The subject s an old one; .it has been talked Rbout and about: no- body can hope to find anything new to say in regard to it. Nor am I s0 conceited as to suppose that I can say the old fhings over in in such a Way as to influence, where they have, thus far been ineffective. Then again—we old codgers know what young fclks are-—very few of them read these talks. Most of them are more interested in the baseball news, or the stories of soldiers march-~ ing ‘and countermarching along the Rio Grande. If they did read them, ‘what would it amount to? The one universal character of youth, all the world over and all the time, 18 its comfortable certalnty that it can't make & mistake. It KNOWS,—youth does, which gives it & much more set- tled ‘state of mind' than the mere pre- sumptive beliefs which we old 'uns tentatively hold. Don't let's 'blame the young fellows and young ladies on account of this. They can’t help it, —any more than we could or did when ‘we were their age. They’re built that way. They grow that way, naturally and almost inevitably. You can't change a tree which has started to be a crab-apple by pasting Baldwin leaves over its natural foliage, nor by building a pulpit on the north- ‘west side and preaching to it the su- perior quality of the McIntosh Red:— not even by whipping the bark ragged with rawhides and trimming off the tallest branches. The only way to be sure is to begin when it's quite small and graft the single stem. Even then you've got to keep your eye out for Toot-springing suckers. There’s lots and lots of reasons why the boys and. the girls want to leave the old farm and go to the city. One reason, often given, is that they want “soctety.” 'That means, when it's translated into plain comprehensible English, that the boys want to see more girls and the girls want to see more boys. Probably it's often an im- pelling reason. Another is that they all want to be ‘where there's It is considered quite young folks blasely 1o aver to each oth- er that “this place is about the dead est you ever saw.” This, you see, in< dicates that they are superior to their surroundings.

'In the last named I've found ‘help in many ways, particularly when ‘the subject touches on Friends and Friendship.

It's a-sadly nega- tive task and there's nothing inspiring | apout it. But it might help some, in some cases.

Perhaps you've heard of the Btranger | passing a cornfield one het July day, Wherain a ‘fifteen-yvear-old: boy was hgeing away as if his life depended ‘on it. “How ‘much do you get ‘for that sort of work?” he asked. “Nothin', it T do 1t, but h—Ii i 1 don't” promptly responded the boy. I've mever heard further from that direction, but I don’'t suppose that boy staid long o | the farm., Do you? 5 Last year, prizes were offered to the boys of states in “the corn belt” wio should raise the best crops of -corn. Several hundred little fellows went ir- to the comipetition. ~They were per- mitted to ask advice, but they had to do all the work themselves. The way some of them dug dirt was a caution to snakes. Several grew corn which would have taken high. rank in any corn festival of their elders. Some of them raised ‘simply whopping crops. One little chap, under sixteen, made & record for over 280 bushels of ear- corn on one acre. The winners got their prizes and they and a lot. of other contestants had a free trip to Washington, as guests of the sccretary of agriculture;- whs entertained, by him, shown the sights of the capitol, and 'made to feel, in various ways, that they had won a standing on the old farms which - they - couldn't possibly have won, sweeping out stores or act- ing as cash-boys in the city. The chances are eijceedingly ~good that most of these kids: will stay on the farm,—till they get old enough to'have | farms of their own. “You can drive a horse to the water but you can't make him drink” says the old proverb.. I used to have an old plug, as full of whims and con- trariness as an egg is of meat. Many a time I've led him to the troughr ohly to have him lay his ears back and squeal with stubborn determination not to drink. Yowd think he had hydrophobia, he hated water so. But turn him out into the pasture, and he would snort around awhile and kick up his heels and make sure that no- body cared a continental whether he drank or no. Then he'd soberly trot down to_the brook end drink about a barrel. Nevertheless, for my own sake as weil es his, 1 had to offer him water regularly. Generally he'd take it, all right. It was only occastonally that his spirit of youth got tho better of his | older good sense. . 1 There's only one way in which some boys can be held to the’ farm and made to love it:—*some” boys, 1 am careful to say. It wouldnt be safe ! to guarantee the scheme for all. These | western and southern lads I've' men- tioned were induced to take interest in corn-growing. A good many boys | ars naturally crazy about pet animals. Often they make blamed nuisances of themsclves in their - anxiety to keep rabbits -or squirrels or ‘coons or the | like about the house. I many cases their affections might judiciously be steered towards colts’ or calves or chickens, The best poultry man I happen to know, personally, took his start when a mere kid, by finding a stolen brood of little ~chicks whose mother had been eaten up by a'fox or | He brought up the peepers by band, and developed such a fondness for the creatures that he devoted himself to them, just as| soon as he reached a point where he could have his own way. I've heard of a_successful pork producer\who was led into his line by his father's inva- riable custom of giving his son ome pfg from the litter, “for his very own.” The pig was his-and the hog was his and the pork was his. When the r{;ig{ wes given him there was: no. string tied to it. That makes me think:—I've received a circular from the Connecticut Berk- shire Breeders' association, setting forth the objects of the association, | and urging pork producers to. jol In view of the situation.of the hog in. dustry in Eastern Connecticut, as brought out in The Bulletin's New Year review of agricultural condi- tions, It would seem as if here was a chance for getting help towards the extension and promotion of a profit- sble_industry. If we old" fellows are too fixed in our farm routines to want to branch out, why not give some of the youngsters a chance at it,—if they | show any hankerings that way? It| may be that a gift of membership in | some such association and the start- ing of a lad with a single pure-bred pig may be the means of arousing in him . an_interest in one_upbuilding part of farm work.
