If you want good, strorg chicks, you must "begin at the beginning," and see that the stock that produces the eggs is strong and vigorous, since a healthy chick can only be batched from a strongly fertilized egg. The germ in an egg from weak, diseased stock will always be weak and will never produce a strong chick, if ,t hatches at all. Dry feeding is the very' best for young chickens, and any of the prepared chicken foods are pood. Feed this for the first two weeks, and then feed wheat, rolled oats, and cracked corn and you will raise ninety per cent, of all chickens hatched. Keep clabbered or buttermilk before your chickens every day; it will make them grow, help keep them in good health, and make the hens lay more eggs. A good dry chicken food is made as follows: Cracked wheat, twenty-five parts; pinhead. or rolled, oats, twenty parts; finely cracked corn, fifteen parts; millet seed, ten parts; meat scraps, ten parts; granulated charcoal, five parts. This can be fed five times a day, all they will eat up clean, and your chicks will never have towel trouble, the poultryman's worst ^nemy. When a farmer says he would like to keep poultry if he had a suitable place for them. he simply means that he is not interested enough to make a place for them. When your fowls are droopy, and ailing, it is always a good plan to lirst find out what is the matter with them, before beginning the indiscriminate administering of drugs. As soon as an ailing fowl is discovered it should be removed from the flock and isolated, after which its case should be studied, and medicine, if given at all. given very cautiously. A hen may be considered to consume one bushel of grain yeariy and lay ten -dozen, or fifteen pounds, of eggs. This Is equivalent to saying that three and one-tenth pounds of corn will produce, when fed to a hen. five-sixths of a pound of eggs, but five-sixths of a pound of pork requires about five pounds of corn for its production. Taking into account the nutriment in each. *nd the comparative prices of the two on an average, the pork is about three times as costly a food as eggs. Therefore. it will pay better to feed waste milk to fowls than to pigs, if not enough for both. There are little < tdings in tne pouury ousiness oi imuui importance, apparently, that. If neglected, will change success into failure. There is no other live stock business wherein punctuality and eternal vigilance are so necessary as in the rearing of poultry. Sorehead among poultry is of very -common occurrence at this time of the year. It is a phase of roup, catarrh or inflammation, aggravated, if not caused, by neglect, foul air, damp quarters or -exposure on the roost at night. In an advanced stage the head becomes in- ' flamed and swollen on one or both i aides, often obstructing the sight and < many times resulting in the loss of one or both eyes: but the appetite is good r up to the last, unless internally affect- 1 cd. Roup, or sorehead, usually appears i as on epidemic, and if a cure is not .effected, will spread through a whole < flock. In the early stages of the dis- 1 -ease, a cure can be effected by injecting 1 into the nostrils with a machine "squirt" can a little kerosene oil, and i ' putting a few drops down the throat. 1 Anoint the head, if swollen, with earbolated vaseline.

If willing to devote a little time and energy to its culture. Vegetables and fruits should be furnished freely to the table all during the season, and a supply of winter varieties ready when cold weather comes. The size of the garden should be regulated by the size of the family and their fondness for vegetables. It should contain besides a full variety of vegetables, an asparagus bed and a uumber of the small fruits. The garden spot should be a rich, sandy loam, well drained. The soil should be thoroughly pulverized and mixed with some good manure. Most people prefer weii-rottea cow* manure; but if fowl-house manure is used sparingly it cannot be excelled. Owing to the strength of this manure, if used too freely it will cause the plants to burn. The best garden spot will be a failJets and Fiashes.

STOCKMAN ANO TRUCK GROWER. ^ u lire if .in inferior quality of seeds is used, so great care should be taken along this line. Buy from a reliable seedsman and select only those varieties that are not for qualify. In the home garden we want quality rather than quantity. Supposing that our garden has been thor6ughly prepared, the best seeds used; we have only to see that we give it the best culture, and we may expect success. Even when drouth is expected we can greatly reduce its effect by frequently stirring the surface soil. As soon after every rain as ;he ground can be worked, the garden surface should be stirred to prevent a crust forming. Seeds should never be planted in lumpy soil and often seeds sown in mellow soil are lost by not making the soil firm after planting. When planting seeds by hand the firming is quickly done by gently pressing the foot on the seedbed. It requires a little thought to know just how deep to cover seeds. Some gardeners say a covering of soil three times the thickness of the seed planted !is right; others say half that is sufikwit, but no certain rule can lead us. \^uiust remember that germination dsends on warmth, air and moisture, and try to cover so that all these be freely supplied to the seed. In winter a lighter covering is required than in summer, when the moisture is seldom equal to the warmth. Seeds germinate faster in the dark, and with the small seeds that require such a shallow covering of soil it is a good plan to shade with paper or straw until signs of germination appear, when this covering should be removed. Don't plant too thick. Crowded plans never make fully developed specimens. We should consider every plant in excess a weed, also plants out of place, such as cabbage in the bean patch and tomatoes in the potato patch nt'A wnorlc Those who prow nil their plants should have a hotbed for starting the varieties that are not hardy, such as pepper, tomatoes and egg plant. After danger of frost is past, transplanting should be done late in the evening, or on a eloudy day. Later, when planting for a succession, it is best to plant in rows and thin to a stand. Transplanting is most successful if the tops of the plants are shortened by cutting off almost half of each leaf. . "When sowing very weak seeds, some seeds that are strong growers may be mixed with the weak ones to break the crust for them, as harrowing the seedbed just as the plants are ready to come out of the ground often destroys many of the plants.?Written for the Southern Cultivator by Mrs. E. W. McElmurray, Augusta. Ga. Fighting the Boll Weevil. I am the originator of three methods whereby the Mexican boll weevil and ill other noxious insects preying upon cotton may be destroyed: By planting in alternate rows ricinus ind cotton, the dehalation of the former will kill all insects in all states of growth. By adding to the fertilizers the concentrated poison of the crushed beans the cotton plant will feed upon it and become immune. By adding to the fertilizers hematite Iron high in phosphor and low in iron pyrites and sulphurous silicon. I am the first to suggest the use as plant food of phosphor compounded with iron, which will be accepted by the plants more readily, and the invaluable device of providing soluble sulphur and silicon to the roots of culti? i.. .-v 4 >.Anc nrwl elirnhc > U It'll jJiuuia auu urco uuu cwiuvc. The cost of the ricinus beans, crushed, is next to nothing, while the other three ingredients wili not exceed S4 a ton. Adding these ingredients to the fertilizers used at present, half the usual quantity would be sufficient and a saving of about tifty per cent, could be effected. If used for tobacco the advantages of this fertilizing compound would be: All insects would be destroyed or driven away. The tobacco plants would be shaded by the taller ricinus plants.

There is no virtue in listening and hearing; it is nothing until transmuted into doing. There is no reality in an image in a mirror; as unreal and unsubstantial is speech without action. Yet it is by this "foolishness of preaching" and hearing that men are to be saved; the danger is not in the hearing, certainly, but in being a "forgetful hearer." Even religion may be "defiled"; and the religion most defiled of all hi the eyes of God is the religion of a hypocrite that is made up only of words. Suggestions. It is a sound principle never to allow one's emotions .to be stirred in favor of a good action, without at once performing it. That a Christian is "known by his fruits" is not to say that the fruits make the Christian; it is the Christian that makes the fruits?it is the union with the Vine. Christ's desire for us is not that we bear fruit, but that we bear much fruit. We are not half ambitious enough in our Christianity. Every valuable exercise may be, carried on without apparatus. It does; not need wealth and learning to grand things for God. g illustrations. One may harm his body by wrong exercises as much as he benefits it by right ones. See that what you do for Christ is what He wants you to do. When we are weak in a certain part of the body, you take exercises adapted to that part. So there are kinds of church work that will build you up just where you are weak spiritually. To be most beneficial, exercise should be regular and systematic. So with our Christian labors. The athlete keeps a record of his growing powers, and the record helps him to grow stronger. We should know in the same way that we ai*e growing stronger in definite Christian service. Questions. What definite Christian work am I doing? Is my work for Christ up to the measure of my powers? Is there any work which Christ wants me to do that I am not doing? EraOBMpESaOl SUNDAY, MAY 7. The Making of a Christian; His Exercise.?James 1:22-27. The Epistle of James is one of the most practical of all the books of the Bible. It combats those tendencies which threaten to paralyze the spiritual life of the church, and never more than now in this age. It exalts the doctrine of salvation by works. The special section which we study is the distinction between hearing and doing. It emphasizes the thought that nothing can avail in real religion, other than really doing the will of God. Profession is not enough, there must be the exercise of the Christian graces. A Christian is made not by being bom and fed alone, but in the exercise and development of Christian graces. There is a vast difference between hearing and doing. One may be a devout hearer without becoming a doer of the Word. But one cannot be a doer without first being a hearer. The gospel is God's message to a lost and dying world. The institution of preaching is God's ordained plan for saving the world. We can hardly overestimate the value of hearing as a means of grace. No activity in Chris tlan work can atone ior a ianure iu hear the Word. If God calls men to preach, he calls others to hear. But the danger is that we become only hearers; that the repetition of the message will harden the heart unless it be heeded and obeyed. To hear and fail to do is practical atheism. To be a "doer" is more than doing. It is more than a single act of obedience; it is a habit of obedience. To be a doer is to so habitually obey that we translate all precepts into active life. To hear and to do is the whole duty of man. We are to be doers along both the two lines of within and without the church. We are to refrain from unbridled tongues, having respect to persons, and neglect r>f ho nrwir- we are also to Veen our selves unspotted from the world. Not services, but service. Is the true criterion. Not attendance upon the preaching only, but transforming that preaching Into life, Is the highest Christian duty. The true ambition of a noble life is service. We are to hear the Word, of course; but we are to watch against only hearing. We are to "work out our salvation" in the sense of doing right. We are to become an habitual "doer of the Word." WOMAN HATER FOR 60 YEARS Now Daughter of Girl Who Jilted Him Gst3 His Fortune. Isaac Showers of Webster City, Iowa, religiously kept a vow for sixty years that no woman should cross his threshold or enjoy a cent of his wealth. Now that he is dead the carefully drawn will by wmcn ne hoped to perpetuate his vow has been broken, and the bulk of his estate goes to the daughter of the woman who jilted him and made him a hater of all womankind. Showers came West years ago from N'ew York to make his fortune, leavi ing behind him a girl who had promised to wait for him.

Plating iron objects with cadmium is the interesting new metallurgical I achievement of a German chemist. The bath is prepared by dissolving cad! mium chloride in water, precipitating with sodium carbohate solution and! dissolving the washed precipitate, while still moist, in a solution of potassium ; cyanide in water. Cadmium anodes are used, with a current of four to tive volts. The deposit, after buffing, has the same color as tin, but is harder. Two Germans have discovered a method by which they can hear plants grow. In the apparatus the growing plant is connected with a disk, having in its centre an indicator which moves visibly and regularly, and this on a scale fifty times maguifled denotes the progress and growth. Both disk and indicator are metal, and when brought in contact with an electric hammer, the electric current being interrupted at each of the divided interstices of the disk, the growth of the plants is as perceptible to the ear as to the eye. Little Girl* "Beit" for Flahcrraen. I More fishermen are supported in the fishing season at the little town of Vardo in Norway than :n our own famous GlQUcester, or the English Grimsby. At Vardo everybody helps in the work?men, women, and even the children. James B. Connolly writes, in Harper's Magazine, that he saw innumerable little girls of nine or ten sturdily standing in the cold air that made their faces and fingers blue, while they patiently baited their fathero' and brothers' trawls. Their mothers performed the same wcrk while the erhr.i:sted ' fishqrmen snatched the two-hours' sleep that constituted their night'a rest in the busy season. It is no uncommon thing for a single merchant to have several hundred thousand pairs of fish hanging out to dry at cace. ia preparation for the market. Mr. Connolly sailed and fished with the fishermen themselves, and gives a very entertaining account of their peculiar customs. How Mark Twain Made Five Dollars. AH boys like to earn a few pennies now and then, but Mark Twain tells of a very unusual way in which he once made the princely sum cf $5 as a small boy. At cue rcliool he attended tncre was a strict rub against mar> ing the desks. Any boy discovered mutilating a desk must he punished?being offered his choice between paying $3 or taking a public whipping. The irresistible combination of a shiny-topped desk and a brand-new knife in his pocket was too much for Mark; he succumbed to the temptation and whittled away until the teacher caught him. The punishment was set for the following day, and Mark's father, thinking it a pity the lad should be publicly whipped, gave him a lecture and a $3 bill. Five dollars looked pretty big to Mark. He thought it over carefully, and when the time came, with the bill in his pocket, went up and took the ] whipping. ^ Cultivated UkIIdam. ^ Here are some of the deformities which careless women cultivate: A heavy lower lip?Induced by a pout.

London Titat* How to Look Tall. * Ways of increasing her height are i constant source of thought to the i short woman. To look her tallest at . all times she should remember some! simple general rules. High heels are . a mistake; the cut and length of the . skirt are the most important. The 4 best materials to give height are j either plain ones or those with a tiny stripe running lengthwise. Full skirts and baggy sleeves are fatal to the short woman, says the Pittsburg Press. A very small hat Is a mistake, giving an idea of insignificance, and a large one is no better, making the small wearer appear all hat. Safety lies in the medium size, trimmed in a quiet, unostentatious fashion. But, after all the way a woman walks and stands Is her greatest advantage or disadvantage. It is possiblt for even a little woman to be so | upright and hold her head so prettily I that she will appear quite tall without : the least suggestion of stiffness. A well-carried head will give an addi- } tional two inches to the height. 1 To Keep Veils Looking Freah. i There is no part of a woman's ward- ? robe which requires care as to her veils.
