Oil Cake For Pooltrs-.
Borne authorities advocate feeding
broken oil cake for fattening poultry,
We have known tbe ollmeal cake to be
nsed ln this way after being ground or
passed through tbo bone mill and mixed
with a little bran Into a mash. Tbe
poultry art very fond of tho oil cak
ground la this way, fed to them just
as It come from tbo mill An equal
portion of the crackling from lard and
the oil cake mixed ln dry bran and fed
aa a dry mash la good for winter egg
production, though this la a rather fat
tening mixture, and too much of it
should not be fed. If reasonably given
to hens that are kept active through
scratching for all their grain food In the
Utter it will help rather than retard
egg production, for they will not gain
much flesh when bo actively engaged.

Fjlno laundering-.
An authority on fine laundering says
that hot water should not be used In
washing fine table linen or embroidered
flolllea. Cold water, white soap and
borax, if not borax soap, should be
naed Instead. Ono wonder If all atoms
could b remoYed with cold water, but
the suggestion la worth passing on.
Certainly every housekoeper baa at
times had difficulty in laundering table
linen satisfactorily.

The Caribou aa a Swimmer.
Clad with a coat of oily wool next hl
kin, the caribou Is covered exteriorly
with a dense pelago of flue quill. , Ev
ery caribou, Indeed, wears a cork Jack
et, and when this Is prime, the crea
ture seems on the water rather than ln

know swims as blgb as tbe caribou.
Tbelr speed afloat la bo great that It
take the best of canoemen to overtake
vigorous buck. A good paddler 1
supposed to cover about six miles an
hour, bo tbe caribou probably goes five.
There are many kinds of woodland and
rough country over which the caribou
cannot travel so fast as this. What
wonder, then,4 that tbey are so ready to
take to tlio water as Boon as they find
It in their course! Mr. Munn assured
me that several times he saw caribou
