Be Honest.
Being honest is the greater part of
achievement. When you know that
you're doing the best within you, you
can't be downed. Self-respect is an
eternal life preserver no matter how
often circumstance wrecks you, you're
bound to float back to solid ground

Addition to Custard Makes Little Ex
tra Work, and the Children Are
Sure to Appreciate It.
It is no more trouble to make a
chocolate custard than It Is a plain
one, and the chocolate is a change.
Children especially enjoy a custard
made in this way. The proportloni
are two cupfuls of milk, one ounce ol
chocolate, two eggs, sugar to taste,
usually about three tablespoonfuls, a
pinch of salt and half a teaspoonful
of any preferred flavoring.
Melt the. chocolate in a double boil
er. Pour the milk in and let It come
to a boil. Beat eggs, sugar and salt
together, and pour the boiling milk
over the mixture and strain into cus
tard cups or one large dish as pre
ferred. Set in a pan of hot water and
bake In a moderate oven. -
I suppose you know how to tell
when the custard is done. If not,
then the test is a knife put Into th
middle of the custard. If the knif
comes out clean the dish is ready to
be taken from the oven, while if th
custard sticks to the knife it must bf
left a little longer. Exchange.- -

WATER REQUIRED FOR SHEEP
Animal With Bountiful Supply Pro
duce More Mutton Than Those
That Are Deprived of It
Experiments carried on with cattle
showed that cattle given plenty of
water with their pasture contained
more moisture and less dry matter
than did the carcasses of cattle given
pasture but no additional moisture,
(t is a generally accepted principle of
feeding that it costs more and more
to produce meat as the moisture de
creases and the dry matter increases.
From this we are able to deduce the
tact that It costs less to grow the
iteers that had plenty of water, and
so made watery carcasses, than it did
to grow the steers that had no water
other than that in their food and re
produced a dry carcass. '
, What is .true in the . case of steers
would hold equally true in the case
of sheep.' Sheep given plenty of water
will produce mutton more cheaply
than will those deprived of it. Muscle
expansion will be more active in the
one case than in the other, and that
Is another reason why mutton pro
duction, would be cheaper.
There is considerable water in any
of the pasture crops that sheep eat,
And they get still more moisture from
the dew that collects on the grass
blades in early morning and late eve
ning; but from these two sources,
while It gets enough water to keep it
alive, a sheep still does not get
enough water to keep it in the very
best growing condition nor to keep
all its bodily processes going on in
the most effective manner possible.
There, is not an organ in the body
that can function properly without
water to aid tl. Being one of the
chief constituents of blood, water is
carried to every, part of the system,
and not alone helps it in getting its
nourishment, but also in ridding it of
its impurities. It is obvious that a
large amount of water must be neces
sary to keep the sheep doing,; well.
Enough is not gotten with the food,
even in summer, and ' this amount
should be supplemented by all that
the sheep will drink when given con
stant access to it.
CULL OUT UNDESIRABLE HENS

All Fowls That Have Passed Their
Term of Usefulness Should Be
Marketed at Once.
It is always seasonable to cull out
the undesirable birds from a flock,
says the Poultry Journal. All hens
that have passed their term of useful
ness should be marketed. While cull
ing should be continued throughout
the entire year, the most heroic work
should be done in the fall. What
we call yearlings in poultry are those
which were hatched the year before
the pullets. They are nearer two
years old than one, and make ex
cellent breeders. After breeding pick
out of this flock such as are consider
ed unprofitable. What we call the
two-year-olds are the ones that are
going into their second molt Very
often some excellent layers are found
among these, and It pays to keep such,
but at that age the closer we cull the
better will be our profits. This cull
lng, however, can only be successful
by close watching. No matter how
valuable a hen may be, if she proves
to be a feather puller or an egg eater,
she, too, should be sent with the lot
of culls to market
IMPROVING HEN FLOCK
Great Deal Depends on Selection
of Setting Eggs.
Bhould Be Those From Year Old
Birds, at Chicks Will Be Larger
and ' Stronger .Than Those
From Pullets.
(By A. J. WILDER.)
Care should be taken to save for
settings only the eggs from the best
bens. A very great difference can
be made in a flock in a few seasons
by the selection of the eggs for hatch-tag.
By choosing the largest eggs -the
fowls will be much larger In size, but
there Is a great probability that they
will not be good layers. The hen that
lays an unusually large egg is quite
likely to lay only every other day.
By setting her eggs and again the
next season setting the largest eggs,
you will develop a strain of large
fowls that will lay very large eggs,
"but will lay only every other day, or
even less.
On the other hand, it you set the
eggs from the hens, that as pullets
laid during their first fall and win
ter, an continue to set eggs from
Buch hens, you will develop a strain
of early winter layers.
The eggs for settings should be
from year old hens, as the chicks will
be larger and stronger than those
from pullet eggs. It is best to mate

Every Poultry Home Should Have
Some Convenience for Confining
Broody Hens.
cockerels Instead of old cocks with
these hens.'as the eggs are more apt
to be fertile and there will be a larg
er percentage of pullets.
Choose the medium sized, well
shaped eggs and be sure the shell is
firm and strong. A weak shell Is sure
to be broken, aud, besides the loss of
the egg itself, will likely ruin sev
eral of the other eggs in the nest and
may even teach the hen to break and
eat them.
Feed the hens a little air slacked
lime in the mash to give the eggs a
good strong shell. Be sure the lime is
well slacked and give two tablespoon
fuls to 100 hens every day.
Do not force the breeding stock for
egg production. Feed them mostly
whole grain, wheat, oats, corn and
barley. Let the mash be a light feed
and give them fresh sweet meat
scraps twice a week.
Feed plenty of green food, unless
the fowls have range where they can
find it for themselves. Keep them
supplied with pure, clean drinking wa
ter and have , charcoal, grit, oyster
shell and dry bone always before
them.
Don't forget a little salt in the
mash. It should always be salted as
much as the same quantity of food
would be for the table.
The hens must be made to exercise
by scratching for their grain in the
litter. They must be healthy and in
good condition if you are to raise
strong, healthy Thicks.
A diseased condition of the hen is
transmitted to the egg and will ap
pear in the chick when hatched.
PROPER CARE OF CUT GLASS
Tenant Farming Data.
The subject of tenant farming is be
ing studied by the bureau of plant in
dustry of the department of agricul
ture with special reference to the con
tract between owner and tenant
Where tenants have assurance of long
tenure it has been found that they
frequently furnish at their own ex
pense many of the permanent improve
ments, such as fences and farm build
ings and usually adopt a system of
farming that will maintain and often:
improve soil fertility. Data now on"
hand from a large number of tenant
farms is being analyzed for the pur
pose of finding the most satisfactory
division of the proceeds between
labor, working capital and investment
in real estate. This study has already
revealed certain general principles
that enable the bureau to offer valu
able suggestions concerning the de
tails of lease contracts. ,
Do Not Feed Moldy Corn.
Moldy corn will produce blind stag
gers in horses, and it should never be
fed to them. Every year there Is con
siderable trouble with this disease la
the west, and in almost every case
the cause Is moldy corn. If this
corn does not produce blind staggers,
it will tend to Injure the physical con
dition of the animal. So don't feed
It, and be careful about pasturing the
horses in stalk fields where there Is
moldy corn
; Ewe After Lambing.
After lambing, ewes should not be
fed too heavily for a week or two.
Bran alone is a good ration for the
first few days. Gradually the ration
can be Increased, using one part
bran, one part oil meal and five parts
corn.
Sheep may be turned out earlier
than other farm stock, for they seem
to thrive better when allowed to keep
down rank growth of grass in their
pastures. But when they are first
turned out they should be fed some
dry supplementary foods until they
get somewhat accustomed to grass.
Protection for Trees.
Some orchardlsts have been suc
cessful in protecting their trees by
smearing the trunks near the ground
with mixtures which are distasteful
to rabbits. For this purpose white
wash, admixture of glue and copperas,
decoction of quassia chips and blood
or grease, have been used. Mechan
ical protection by means of some
wrapping is more permanent and ef
fective han any form of wash.
Effect of Animal Husbandry.
Live Stock make It necessary to
diversify crops and grow more crops
upon which there, is a wider margin
of profit.- Animals also distribute la
bor, furnish employment in time of
bad weather, or when field work is
cot possible. Animal husbandry is the
logical way to insure soil improve
ment, as, the increased fertility from
manure is often sufficient to justify
raising animals.

Cut glass must be handled very care

Place in a wooden bowl some shav

When the water has become luke

glass in a second wooden bowl, this
time filled with clear lukewarm water,
until all traces of soap is removed.
Now dip the glass into a third bowl
