thinning of the fruit will cause the
remainder to hold on better. A moder

Vol- the Whiter Ulet.
Through the summer the diet of the
hens has been somewhat restricted,
grain and especially torn having
proved almost too fattening and heat
ing for the weather: but with the tirst
indications of the bleak days ihe
poultry should have tttcir fujl winter
diet. This should be given for the
purpose of increasing the general
health and si length of the hens and
then for eggs, liens which do not
have splendid health and strength can
not prove good layers of eggs. The
two go together. Volt may feed hens
on stimulating foods so they -iv ill lay
a few extra eggs, but In a short time
they will give out and prove worthless.
fin- tirst thing should bo to aim for a
iiiinl. all round diet that will make tin-
birds healthy and strong, t'rain. corn.
scraps of meat, bread, and such table
leavings should be foil to them liber
ally, lie not forget the seeds', whii It
in the fall of the year can be collected
in considerable ipiantities. liens like
the seeds id' (lowers, vegetables and
weeds. They cliioy rating them out
of the pods, and the plants where
possible should be cut down and
thrown iuto the chit ken yard. The
work of collecting tin-in will do the
hens good.
iJrn in and uni are essentia now.
You cannot m-gh-ct these without endangering-
the health of the bird.
Whether spring chickens or laying
hens, they should hive their daily
grain ration. Ulan cooked m- scalded
is an excellent food for them, im.l fed
hot or cool mornings it proves of great
belletit. ( iveriee.ling. of course, Uill!-t
be avoided. Too inn. li corn and grains
will make the lens fat ami lazy, and
cans.' indigestion, which will ruin all

those bill-- tiel.ls to pay I'of the discom

have been lummy as well as cold that .
day. If not, their appearance sa lly
belied He ir real foelin-s.
I am not olio of those who bejieve
that it is bi st to keep cows in the
stable tin- year round. It seems to too
a most unnatural tliinj: to do. The
cow )s l.y nan, re a yivnt traveler, j

The l ow c ii ti tint he much of an ex. ep

Hut. on tin- other hand, my opinion '
is th'il the matter of exercise may be
overdone. I-ivery time a cow u'ets ;

Mm "lll objecl lesson ruiiil. mint i
ia under the supervision of j
A I the I'uitcd St iles Popart- j
I uieui id Agriculture, hast i
been completed at Mor
ganlown. West Virginia.
I This being the first work of the kind '
: done in ihe Slate, its completion win ;
; celebrated by the holding of n good j
i roads convention. There was a ijooit ,
! attendance of representative citizens j
from all parts of the Slate, addresses .
I were delivered by a number of pi'oini- j
lieut men, and it is believed that sub- j
istaniial progress toward general in
i provciucin of the highways i as been
made. Perhaps the ino-t significant ;
feature of the colivetii ion's work was j
! the unanimity and enthusiasm wiihj
which it endorsed belli State and N.i
1 tioual aid.
Th- Washington Post in a leading
editorial condemns 1 ..tii National and
Slate aid as pa let nil is: i.-. Ii says that
"The duly of road building aililolics
solely lo the eoilllllllllitics immediately
toiicotiie.l." I'his is a narrow view.'
The same view applied to education ;
would make the ic-ai communities pay
till the rxpoll.es of the schools: yet
State aid t lii.-alion is the rule, mo
Ihe exception. If the I'os.'s cottieiition
is right, the local ooinmiiniiy should be
repined to establish lis ow n postolli. e,
and hiie its postmaster and laud car
riers. In fact, neatly everything the
State and National governments are
doing for the people would be c-.n-ilemued
as p iternalisiu viewed from !
the same standpo.llt.
Poll the Post's ideas are not all so
absurd as th - en.- tploted above. In
the same issue ii has the following lo
say concerning i-nvlet labor:
"In tho ouihliU'.: of good roads lies
the solution of tin convict problem. ;
The convicts we have always with us.
Tl rop is coiistanl as it is abundant.
Why not use theni to construct nilur-!
ing turnpikes, instead of cooping them
up in prison shops m- leasing tiu ni out ;
to private spccinaiors in human llesli !
and blood"; In ihe one case wo put ;
criminals in coinpeiit ion with hutie-t '
labor. In the oilier, we tratlie in scan .
dal, cruelty and demoralization. Were :
tin- aldc-bo.lied convict , throughout tlie
country employed upon the public:
roads as we suggest, we should have
within ten years as excellent highways
us those of I'l l'. ce, t'erinany or Pug
laud. Moreover, il would be a legiti
mate employment that would operate
injury to none and beiielit to all."
(iooil Una. Is in I'lurblii.
lu iiO State ill tho l iiioii is there (
greater enthusiasm among tin- people
for building good roads than in IToridu,
and in mi Slate has more legislation
tavorable to road improvement been

Tortillas. - -
In conjunction with the nystr matte
effort made in recent years by the
Tnited States to make known in Kit
rope thn food value, or, rather, table
value, of Indian corn, it may interrst
many housekeepers to know how tor
tillas are made Thvso tortillas are,
as many knovv. thin cakes of corn,
and are used in Mexico and other
Spanish-American countries almost
universally In lieu of wheat bread.
The corn, selected clean kernels for
best results, is boiled in lime water
until soft. It is th. n washed thor
oughly in water to r move all traces
of lime. aJid rubbed between the hands
to remove the outer husk of the corn.
The dean corn is then ground, while
wet. to a soft .mass, which Is easiest j
aceoinplishedvviih a peanut butter i
mill. The wet dsugh resulting from
(rinding is panel into thin cakes of
convenient size and baked on a dry j
griddle dim! is. wiihonl fat) and
served hot. In the boiler (lass fami
lies it Is usual to have one servant
hake these tortilla.-, continually dur
ing the course of a meal, so that the
table may be supplied fresh from the
gMddlo all the time. While those
rakes are a radical departure to all
Knglish speaking pi-opie. many s.ion
develop a great liking for th. m. They
are especially palatable when eaten
with highly tlavore.I meat dishes, sin It
as the Mexican "chi'ie eon earue." and
also wh. u spread with butter. If tn.-y
he well to add that m salt is used in
tlie preparation of these cakes.--Scientific
