Farm poultry molt annually, and tho molt in healthy fowl? begins* in early autumn and continuos for about four months, lt will pay any one who keeps poultry to give the liens special caro aud attention duriug tho molting peri od, writes Ira G.

Thc illustration Bhows a I.angslian cockerel. matter and food rich in protein. One of the best and most common protein feeds la skiumiilk, either sweet or soar. It 1B claimed by the best of authorities that skimmllk Ia more valuable as food for poultry than lt Is for hogs or calves. If skimmllk could be given In liberal allowances the results obtained would be quito satisfactory. * Wheat, , ;wlilch is ' rich in protein; should,also he,,fed in lib?ral quantities wheu ut, hand, and Bhould 'bo aubstltut ed for corn, guiiflower seed wilt also be found n valuable food at this time. One experiment Station found that a ration containing goodly portions of lin seed iai.ni cuuqed the fowls to ail moil at practically the same time, earlier iu thc season aud more rapidly. A ration that will pay nay farmer to feed bis fowls in connection with skim milk la this one: Three pounds corn, twp pounds Vijueut. one-half pound Un seed meal ai^l one-half pound beef scraps. Gihut'the grains and mix the whole muss together and feed in hop pers. If tile fowls ure yarded supply an abundance of green vegetable mat ter. If one docs not wish to go to the expense nf grinding these grains feed them whole tn hoppers'with tho m?at and oilmeal. It will pay handsomely to grind the grains, but when fed whole feed the corn rather sparingly. KILLING POULTRY LICE. Mercurial Ointment an Effective Rsm : edy et? Mature Birds..

A short time ago 1,018 single comb White Leghorn hens were treated th this way, and after ward not a single louse could be found on any pf them.

A quarter of au hour, was al lowed for the writing of the recipes, and at the end of the time-the pa per? were gathered up and redistributed, so that no one had the paper she had written. As no names were on the papers no one knew whose paper she held, and thus with perfact boldness she rend aloud the recipe on the paper in hand. Only the culprits knew who had written the recipes which provok ed so luuch mirth when they were read aloud. When all the recipes bad been read encb guest voted on the paper she held for the recipe she liked liest The papers were then collected nguiu, and after the votes bad been counted the prize.' which waa a cookery book, was awarded. ; ; Some players were very serious and did the best they could with the limit ed knowledge ut their command.
