TEN COMMANDMENTB
t 1. Thou shalt not wait for something 0 Wm 1-ID. but thou shall pull oft thy coat and so to work that thou mayst Dl’°lil6\' in thy affairs and make the word ‘ifailure" spell "success."
2. Thou shalt not be content to go
about thy business looking like a hum. for thou shouidst known that thy i’e“°“°i 9-Dllearance is better than a letter of recommendation. A
3. Thou shalt not try to make
HCUSGB. nor shalt thou say to those who chide thee, "l didn‘¢ think."
4. Thou shalt not walt. toibo told
what thou shalt do, nor in what man- ner thou shalt do it, for thus may thy days be long in the jab which rm- tuue hath given thee,
5. Thou shalt not fall to maintain
.ii\i"° Own integrity. nor shalt thou be guilty of anything that. will lessen thy good respect for thyself.
6. Thou shalt not covet the other
fellow's job, nor his salary, nor the .position that hc hath gained by his own hard labor.
7. Thou shalt not fall to live with- in thi' income. nor shall thou con-_ “Mt any debts when thou canst not see thy way clear to pay them.
8. Thou shalt not be afraid to
blow thine own horn, for he who fail- ost to blow his own horn at the prop- or gccasion ilndeth nobody standing ready to blow it for him.
ll. Thou shalt. not hesitate to say
"No," when thou meanesg "N0;" nor shalt thou fail to remember that these sro times when it is unsafe to bind thyself by a hasty judgment.
10. Thou shalt give every man the square deal. This is the last and great, commandment. and there is no other like unto it. Upon this commandment hang all the law and the profits of the business world.
TO TEST LINEN.
Not. everything i.hat's labeled linen
is linen. It may be part cotton and part line, and it may be mercerized cotton with a. very small portion of lintn in it. To lest the material you buy for linen, drop water on the goods- if it is all linen the moisture spreads rap- idly rtnd dries quickly. On cotton the fabric will remain moist for some time. Glycerine is considered a betttr test than water. It causes linen to appear transparent. Another test for linen is by breaking the yarn, of cotton the ends will curl up, if pure linen the ends remain smooth.
J UST APPLES
I had before me a long list of recip-
es for cooking apples in the most ap- proved styles and most laborious ways l said to myself, “Now this is apple time. and these recipes will be most timely," and prepared to copy them for our household.
And then. in nn article in a maga-
zine, my eye fell on this paragraph. it said: “No wrapping of God’s fresh fruit in an envelope of baked lard. flour and water. called Pie.”
And it was a woman who wrote
that, too. So I sat and pondered,and questioned, "ls there any better way to prepare apples, than simply to wipe them to a shining polish, and serve them?" New apple scuf- fle is fine, but how long did it take
Lbs tired house mother to grate those ,pples, and whip the eggs, and pre- pare a great dish of scomc? And when it is done the apple was no more wholesome, perhaps not so much so, as when fresh and whole they plied a fruit dish on the middle of the table.
Then again around the reading
table at night, when Son. gettinl: lilm a, candle, goes down the cellar to tile great, bins, and selects n pan of ap- ples for the cveuing's -munching. What. mussy concoction of cooked apple, sugar and spice cull we make for the school dinner pall that quite equals the round. red-checked apple. \Iot that 1 despise the "Mussy con- coction;" I like it. And I like apple pic. and Brown Betty, and apple tapioca, and all the rest of the goodies, and yet, I would not feel iustified in overloading the shoulders af the busy home mother with batch on hatch of complicated recipes. when her family will be better served with fresh or baked apples, and plain, delicious sauce.-The Farmer, St.
Paul.

Now that the hens are in winter
quarters, and 'wo are up against the problem of saving the high-priced winter eggs from the feathered egg- eater, it occurred _to me. says a writ- er in The 1°‘a\~mera‘Advocate, that a
_method that' has proved -thoroughly
successful 'with my ilock for the last two winters, and so far this winter, might be of value to other farmers l . a ‘lilly nests are simply rows of boxes, in single or double rows as space per- mits, with a. foot-hoard in front about four or tive inches wide. I drove stapl- es in the partition board at about ev- ery third or fourth nest. and attached a wire to each staple. I then took man- gols and cut in pieces, with one thin .and one thick end, past the end of a wire through the thin end of the man- _gei, turned up the wire to make a _'hook so that the thick and of manlbi rested on -the foot-board. and watched results. leaving the eggs in the nests in, plain view. Mrs. Mischief Hunter Jumped up on the board and walked along looking for elle. found the nice. nicy-looking. white side of the mangcl in’-.her path,` stopped `to investigate, next, sampled it and found it to her tilting, and atraqiaatway-forsol Iii assume ears. _ t ended the iw °¢ eggs for me, 1 keep cabbalvl 819° hung up in tba _ben-house. and feed all the ‘clover leaves I can gather np. .i bad never-been much bothered by feathenpuliing. ilut~t¢hs method that stopped ~the egg-ea ing stopped the feather-pulling aso.

Tile best and easiest way to make
a start in the rearing of turkeys is t.o buy a couple of settings of eggs from a reliable person, as early in the Spring as possible, and place them under common hens which are known to be good sltters.
When the eggs ure hatched the
mother hen should be confined in a close and rather well-sheltered pen, which will allow the young turkeys free ingress and egress. After they are n. couple of weeks old they may be allowed to take a run on warm days with the mother hen. and after the young turkeys are a month old they may be given perfect frec- dom if the weather is favourable. They may be given cracked wheat in addition to other food, and will need but little further attention. Tur- keys thrive much better if allowed to roost in the open, and expensive
tlgoultry houses are not necessary for
em.
'FEED GREEN FOOD FOR EGGS
While the birds are confined during
the Wlinter months some form of green food is absolutely necessary for best results. Give the birds mangels turnips, or sprouted oats. Alfalfa or clover hay, if well cured, may be fed. Mangels are cheap and are easily grown. and the birds will consume large quantities of them. Sprouted oats also make an excellent form of green food. Tile method of sprout- ing is simple. Take the' quantity oi' oats desired, soak them in lukewarm water for twenty-four hy,urs, then spread them out on the floor of a fairly warm room. or place them in ,fiat boxes so that the oats will spread out in a layer about one inch `thick. Keep them moistened and stir them to prevent molding. When they start to sprout do not disturb them, and when the sprouts are about three ,inches long the oats may be given to the birds. Some form of green food should be supplied the birds every day_ in feeding mangels it is a good practice to drive a spike in the wall about sixteen inches above the floor, on which the mangels can be placed -M. A J. '
THE DAIRY
FEEDING THE.FARROW COW.
Some cows are persistent mllkers,
'while others cease giving milk at the end of seven or eight months. The for- mer are the more profitable class to keep, but many dairymen do not give them a fair deal. Anxious to secure as much milk as possible, it is a. tempta- tion to continue milking a cow, that will give mik, until a few weeks of the time of freshening. While the present gain may be a few cents, the fixture loss, both in strength of calf and qual- ity of milk during the following lacta- tion period. may be counted in lhedol- lnrs. The dairy cow is a machine, and u profitable cow works harder seven days of ihc Week. for a period varying from eight: to eleven mouths. than thc average horse. A good ltorsemon likes to rest. his horse. So a good dairymsn knows that, by giving his cow n rest of six or eight weeks and feeding her well botwoon loctatlon periods, shc will produce more milk annually that if deprived oi' this rest. Because the cow is not giving milk, during the rest period, is no reason why she should not have the best of care and feed. Straw and roots alone do not contain sutllcleut nutriment to nourish the growing calf and allow ifhe cow to gain in flesh. ‘ln order to ensure o heavy flow of milk. the cow must be ia good condition at time of freshening, and * with a cow in a thrifty condition .there is lcss trouble in calving. A liberal quality of clover of alfa-ifa hay, alone with a mixture of corn. si-lsge and straw. with, with two or three pounds ot' concentrates daily, is a suitable ra- tion for a cow due to freshen in a few weeks. lf the cow. due to caive, is stabled, elle ohouid ihave exercise, but not chased by dogs or allowed to ge _where it is aiippery.A few days previous ious to tho time freslioning she should ,be put in a-comfortable. well-bedded box stall and watched closely, so that assistance may be given if necessary.

The average man will not wear an ill-fitting collar. although he does not' have to pull a load with it. Yet he will ask -his faithful horse to tug on a misfit without the slightest compunction. The constpnt pressure of a collar on the muscles of a horse's shoulders when the horse ie working has a tendency to harden and lessen the bulk of tho muscles. While a col- ‘ lar may fit an animal all right. at the commencement of the season, it will in time become too large. and if a sweat pad is not hdded. the rolling mo- tion of the collar will soon cause sore shoulders. The collar should have a fair amount of spring and a smooth. even surface, and should conform to
the horae's shoulders. Both collar and sweat pads should be kept clean! It is advisable to remove the collar during the noon spell and waahi _the shoulders with cold salt water, wiping them dry afterwards. This should also be done |.t,ni|bt.

A HOUSE FOR THB ' -
FARM BUTCHERING
Farmers' hog killing for homo con-
sumption is not usually done until quite cold weather. and, sometimes not until after Christmas. It is gener- ally done out of doors, and it frequent- ly happens that the day appointed is cold. raw. and snow-equally. in had weather hutcliering out of doors is very disagreeable work. causing peo- ple to catch cold, making butcbering day dreaded. l am of the opinion that on every farm where there is much butchering to be done, there uhouid be a building on purpose for li, it should stand as near tile water sup- ply as possible, and ii' not built in a conspicuous place, may bon plain. cheap structure.
My father built such a one, in
which we could scnltl. dross, and cut up ollr hogs, and he warm and com- fortable, oven on the coldest day. At one cud ihcro was :L chimney, a big tire-plscc, and f-ran:-, thai. would hold two big kr-ities for heating water. One cud oi' a large sr-aiding barrel was lot down tllrough tile floor to tin- grounri, in in-tif-r in main- it stand firmly. with ilu- lol: leaning against the platform on which the hogs wcrc dressed. 'I`i|cr<- was it rope und pulleys alta:-limi io at roller overlleatl for lmngiuc up ilu- liogs, thai could he us:-ll for liuntiliug inrgt- bugs in the si-aiding barrel. 'i‘|ic building was also used for r»ut|ln;: up ilu-. hogs, trying out the lard. :ls well as wash- ing clothes, making soup, boiling po- tatoes. and pumpkins for hogs, and cider for apple butter and mince pies. --Michigan Farmer
EARLY CLOVER SEEDING
It Pays To Seed Freely
The amount. of clever sf-eil to liai-
per acre and the time to sow are de- batable questions. in regard to the first question, it may be said that it pays to seed freely, ict the seed cost what ii may. High-priced seed has been thc direct cause of some poor stands or complete failures because not enough seed has been used to en- sure n good stand under very favor- able conditions. Even though germin- ation be pcrt'<\<~t. many of the young plants are nf-vcr pr-rinittcd lo roach maturity, :lull when the plants are few in number in the beginning any large loss means ll. poor stand. With high- priced land not many imid spots can bc tolerated in the clover iiclds it a first-class stand can be ob- iuincd at any reasonable cost. Sonic authorities advise sowing oi' six quarts seed per acre, but this is a wa.-uc if the sf-ed is oi' good quality. I-‘our quarts are entirely sufficient ii' tile seed bt-tl is in the proper condi- tion alul the seeding is done properly. liowcvcr, this is largely ii matter of using good judguleut; one should go to some extent by past experiences as to the amount. to sow. Oftcntimcs six pounds ol' seed per acre will give as good a stand as twice the amount,yct condition.; arc usually such as to make liiickcr seeding advisable, particularly iCouLiu\|cii on page lon.)
