Of course, we all know tu; in % key rais- ing is a very profitable business, but they require constant care. The young poultry are very tender until they are several months old. The best food for them for the first few weeks is sour milk. Put it in a flat pan and sprinkle with buckwheat thickly. They will pick out the grain and, of course, take more or less of the clabbered milk which is far better than meal or whole grain. It is better to set turkey eszs under common hens, as the turkevs are such ramblers they do not make very care- ful mothers. The voung should have a good warm shelter and be kept very clean and not allowed to get wet with the early morning dew. Ducks are very easily raised with the common hens. Their period of in- cubation is supposed to be four weeks but they sometimes come out two or three days before the time is up and will get out from the nest and go looking for water. For their first week’s food I take a flat pan and fill with water and sprinkle thick with chopped corn beef; it should be boiled until very tender and chopped as flne as possible. They are very fond of it, and it gives them strensth and a good start. this War Upon Pain! Pain is a visitor to every home and usually it comes quite unexpectedly.

Dear Fditor and Friends: T haven't written for quite a while, but as T have some very useful “hints" for both young and old T thought I would write them while they were fresh in my mind. Al you Sisters and Brothers have heard the old saving. _“Never leave for tomorrow what can be done today.” For any who wear shur-on nose classes and are bothered with them in hot weather. moisten the nose under the nose piece and rub on a little powdered rosin, and I know by ex- perience they will not fall off. 1f young ladies especially are both- ered with their finger nalls, after man- ieuring by brittlene: or cracking. just rub some vaseline well into them be- fore goinz o bed at night and that will_moisten them so they will keep their shape well. Another way to keep your nafls from cracking is to never manicure them when thev are dry, always dampen them first To help inarowina nails, cut a deep V shape in the middle of the nalls. To prevent your eye glasses from steaming when entering a warm room after being out in the cold, wash them with clear soap and then dry them while the soap is still on them. Just before going out of doors. For all music lovers:. When music hecomes torn on the.edges with white tissue paper and flour paste.

A REMINDER. e reminded ve “rare and radiant maidens,” ye dear, lomely batchelor gifls, this is Leap Year, when no wom- an is unwomanly who considers it her privilege to select a life partner. If she does mot actually propose mar- riage she has it in her power to pave the way for such a proposal. Whoever claims it is immodest for woman to thus “lower herself,” let them turn the pages of hisiory back to the days of our Mayflower ancestors. In the Courtship of Miles Standish, when the guiet. scholarly John Alden | was pleading the cause of his fricnd, the captain of Plymouth, endeavoring to persuade the Puritan maiden, (Pri: cila Molines) to aacept Miles Stan- dish’s offer of marriage, the modest Priscilla, “with eyes overrunning with laughter,” replied: hy ‘don’t you speak for yourself, John > Thus did this modest Puritan mai- den pave the way for the proposal of marriage which was to come from the mate of her own choice, for later on we learn that John did speak for him- self. Through the Soctal Corner. may I wish success to any and all Who choose to imitate the Puritan Pris- cilla. To the males who imitate the Cap- tain of Plymouth I say: Be their's the same luck that came to Miles Stand- ish. A LEAP YEAR BRIDE. THE GARDEN. s No. Editor Social Corner: —These plants in the garden have been classed by the scientists as machines operated by the physical and chemical forces of nature, as scientists also have class- ed the insects—and it is marvellous whi-t power they exhibit. The common squash vine has lifted a weight of 80 pounds: a single sprout of asparagus with its tender tissues has been known to force its way through a concrete walk that it would rave taken a heavy blow from a sledge hammer to have broken. In view of these facts what think you is the pressure required ‘o clothe the apple-tree and perfect therein ten or twenty bushels of perfect apples? More force probably than it takes to drive an automcbile 35 miles an hour on our roads. And have vou thought that all the lean-sofl plants werc predecessors of the fat-soll plants. The huckleberry and the beach plums as well as the alders, are among the ancieni and honorables of the plant-life in New England and elsewhere: but the old- est plants are confervae on the water the mosses in the swamps and the lichens on the rocks. The confervea or green skum seen upon the water, represent the first plants that grew on the globe, say the solentists; and the very first plant of this tribe that ap- peared in the waters is today repre- sented by the growth upon the sur- face of a hot-water lake, created by an earthquake a quarter of a_century ago, and still too hot to bathe in in New Zealand.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: It was a disappointment to be unable to meet with you on Feb. $; but a pleasure to hear about the good time you had. My health is much improved: but, even now, 1 would not care to com- pete with Married and Happy in any of her stunts. We all enjoy them and it helps to make merry. I wish to thank those who sent gifts and cards on Feb. 5. Also, the sisters who made up a box of £00d food and fruit from the well-filled tables. 1 think I have to thank Tidy Addly most of all for climbing the hill with her arms full after such a strenuous day. lay March 8 be a record-breaker for full attendance.

Every parent owes it to themselves and to their children that they retain their true dignity as parentg so as to be able to always merit the love and respect of those who are dearer to them than life. It requires more than a blind love to properly train a family of children and fit them to take honorable posi- tions in life and make the world bet- ter faor their having lived in it.

ALTHEA. A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE. Dear Editor and Sisters:—I think the Sisters may want to hear of a sur- prise party that was given a friend of mine. It was to be a birthday sur- prise, but the day came and passed with only a few gifts, and post cards which numbered thirty-two, as this friend had said ‘Now don't surprise me, as in years gone by, for it makes 80 much work for you ali!” ‘Not much attention was pald to this for they knew she would like the good time, 60 they waited two weeks and then they said now is our chance, for she will not think we ‘intend to sur- prise her after waiting so long. The doorbell rang one afternoon and eager to let in a friend, she let in twolve friends. “I m completely surprised” she said. Each lady had a box filled with picnic food, the boxes were put up at auction. each had a paper bag with et flngznl for money, the box- es highest bidder. ‘lfa"n‘?‘ '21.tajed hard to get a_box, If children are properly taught| to the mother who | to the | for the border.
