HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW CHICKENS, Dear Sisters:—The poultry business for success depends on the person run- ning it just as much as any other There is always a tempta- tion to sét too many hens if the eggs hatch well. 'Of course, the chicks don’'t need much room at first, but as they grow they are crowded and don't do as well as if they have plenty of room. Only hatch a faw more than you have planned to keep, then if some M. LISELLA. dis, as they always will, you still have the number vou planned to raise. Keep i chicks of the same age together, for | the older ones will fight and keep the younger ones from eating or taking any comfort, and naturally they can’t do_as well under such conditions. Never give up fighting the lice and mites. They breed very fast. Some- times one louse will ‘worry a chick to death. Dust the hen once a week with some gcod louse powder; also dig up the ground so she can dust herself. A little good ashes put into the dust is a good thing. Grease the chicks’ heads and necks and a little. under the wings about once a week with car- ‘bolated wvaseline or lard with a little| crude carbolic in it. Don’'t put much | grease on the little chicks, as it may kill them. If the fight is kept up they | will grow and do well. ; A good way to grease the chicks| is to put them into a box, letting them out as they are treated: or, if the ceop | {8 small, shutting them in till done. Then is. a good time te count them. It is necessary to clean the coops ev-| ery day and spray liquid lice killer once a waek. Besides keeping away lice and mites, it is a disinfectant. Never put chicks in many deaths as lice. Waterford. MA.

Raise the windows and let in all of God's beautiful sunshine and| fresh air, because it will help greatly to drive out the aches and pains that| have forced themselves upon us dir- ing the cold weather. Never mind 1!, the sunshine does show up a few cob- webs and a lttle dust, you can soon make way with them when once you feel wicll and strong. Please don't rush into the house- cleaning performanoce to such an ex- tent that hubby and children are for- gotten and the world seems all out of sorts. Go into the hard work easy and be sure to stop in time to change your clothes before supper is served. I believe almost any man would rather come home to find things in the house a little mixed up than to find a tired-looking and untidy wife. I want to ‘thank Frank of ’\Icc-- sup for her nice compliment. I don’t think I am clever. If I dl(l T should attempt a story for our Cor- ner, just to please Louise. However, I did not propose the stories and I was very grateful to the editor for his statement, because if I had been the one who proposed the story feature 1 should have felt in duty bound to send something that could be called by that name. Now, for fear the ques- tion of “Who's Who” may be gen.mg monotonous to some, T am going to ask a new question: “Who is the Head of the House?” I have always heard the man- called 80 until the other day I was convers- ing with a gentleman whose wife had been absent from home for a long time and had just returned. He said: “I tell you it isn’t fair to call the man the head of the house, for it is the woman who is the head. If every man don't think as I do, just let him rise before daylight and get his own breakfast, go away to work without a word of cheer-or en- couragement, then, after a busy and perhaps a trying day, let him go home at t to a cold house and get ‘!l'\ own supper. ILet him do this for jus one W and if the avi ge m:{n' isn't willing to say that I wife is the head of the house, why—he never | will, that's all.” Now I am always glad to meet a man who has words of appreciation for his wife, and T am very glad to be numbered among those women whose services in the home are appreciated.

R SR S S THE EASILY CULTIVATED NAS- TURTIUM. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Most everybody enjoys a flower gar- den; but few realize how edsily one may be made. Nasturtiums will grow in any ground and require but little care; and can be used in a variety of ways with beautiful effect. The dwarf nasturtiums inake fine border plants, while the running serts may be used in hanging baskets and window and porch boxes, or to cover a wire fence. | The seeds are used to add pungency ! to pickles and relishes, and the tender leaves and stalks give a delicious fla- ! vor to salads. If the seeds are picked | off, they bloom until frost. Now, ‘dear Sister Ruth, aren’t vou glad you did as bidden, and favored the sisters with the story of “The Peaceful Dream of B. B.

And, alas! what pain, also. I have in some degree outgrown vearning for the impossible and am the happier for it; and am coming into a realization of the value of sometimes Dbeing alone, for =averyome, I believe, has his or her ‘broblems to solve which can be accomplished in no other way except by communing with the self of one’s self—the soul. ‘Through this sort of experience are we made strong and worthy, forming | a center of attraction that draws to us not only what we need but the joys, inspiration and upliftmeat which make us courageous and better fitted to bat- tle with life.

Norwich. letter A. my cake recipe HOUSE CLEANING HELPS. Editor Social Corner: Let mo say to the sister from Lebanen in regard to house cleaning, as I am cleaning house myself, that I plan my cooking ahead, which helps a great deal in this busy season. As to pastry, I do not bother with it, for one can make other des- serts which I think the family will like just as well. There is the prune +which can be made into different things besides pie. I take a pound of prunes, take the stones out, and cook till soft. Then I make a biscuit dough, thin as cake ‘When done 1 split it open the same as dough, and bake it in a shallow pan. for a shortcake, butier ‘it, put the prunes on each layer, svith a little su- gar and cinnamon and whipped cream, and serve them hot. You can use peaches or apples or any fruit,-and it takes no time to make it. The way I cook a stew: Start it on top of the stove and then set it in the oven, and it will cook just as well, and you do not have to watch it all the time. You can boil a dirnner in the oven just the same, provided not | have to use a iettle, but *h pans as | will go in ycur oven. Start the meat | part way on top of the stove, such as corned beef takes longer to cook; then you can add the vegetables and keep plenty of water on it. Did you ever try potting lamb or| veal? I always cook mine that way and it is nice and juicy, and not all dried up. ‘When [ clean my couch, which I find is always dirty. I take half an old sheet and wet it real wet and lay it on the couch, and take a small stick and beat it hard and you will be surprised at the dirt that rises and stays on the wet cloth. I do my stuffed furniture the same, ard do not have to take it out of the roum. My shades I lay on a sheet on th= floor and take a cup of Indian meal and spread on it. Then T take a small brush and scrub them bard: and vou will be surprised at the smoke and tint that cemes out of them.

As I write, this incident comes to my mind. Some few vears ago it was my privilege to live for a time in a large city, and nearly every pleasant afternoon for several months a num- | ber of young missa2s and boys from the | ‘high school near by (whose ages might | range from 12 to 18) held a sort of athletic and gvmnastic exhibition on a sids street which was in full view of my dining room windows. The popular games indulged in were football. batting bali and jumping rope, which occasionally resuited in a broken window in the nearby houses, our own included. They were rude, noisy and far from being refined, both in languags and| manners, and I belisve they wculd have been taken in hand by the police for disorderly conduct had there been any such officials in that locality when needed. The young men seemed to be the most interested in holding the rope for the girls to jump over, and the greatest accomplishment to be attained seemingly was to see who could jump the highest. These young people were all from well-to-do families, while the i each year, sometl fathers of a number of the bhovs were prominent politicians and the mothers active in church and social work.

We had It cut down to within five feet of the ground. Around it I planted 2 Crimsén Rambler rose bush, which thrived beautifully. Last fall T noticed that the tree was completely covered with large black ants.
