BUSY; HEALTHY BIRDS. .i The greal success: with laying hens, as with chickens is to keep them scrateh- ing the greater part of the time. For this purpose some advocate the scattering of grain among {he chaff or gravel in the heuses and yards, but it should be done with 'discretion, for if all the grains are uct picked up by the'fowls it will do more harm by aftracting rats and mice. The dry system of feeding is recom- mended on the highest authority as a decided improvement on the moist food system. It is not only. leds expensive, but n a great saving of time and labor. 1L consists in feeding the chickens until they are a month' old on small grain and * seed, omitting all moist focd. Chickens thus Jalsed Must always ave a good supply of fresh water at han with oyster-shell grit and green . food finely chopped up. 'The chickens grow faster and are nardier and stronger than those raised on moist soft foed, diar- rhoed, the chicken scourge, being almost unknown: among them, or roup, and hey are more easily reared.

Make your boys junior partner in lhe farming. business if you want to keep them with you, , } When send eggs to market assort them, pulting the dark-colored ones in a l¢t and the while ones in another, so aslo have the kinds uniform. Some markets prefer dark ogg, while white eggs are preferred in others. Make a cold chisel out of an 'old flat file for culling off nails, Heat one end ol 'the file in any fire to a cherry-red cclor (not a while heal), Then cool 'abcuf Lone inch of the edge end in cold waler. Thal edge end will then be too hard for" a cold chisel. Watch the different colors ol the steel; as soon as a siraw color is seen at the edge, plunge the entire fila inlo the walter, and the edge will be haed and tough, and will cut iron without breaking. § In any manufacturing, the first ques- tion is the cost of production, and every effort, is used to cheapen production. Ono way in the dairy is to lessen the ccst of food by using good business methods it supplying it. The price of food does not always bédr a close relation to the aclual cost of its producticn or fo its feeding value. - Ascertain what food is Lest adapled to your needs, depénding somewhat upon its cost. Then find oud what will best pay you 10 raise and what to buy. Then get the most out of ycur food by feeding a well-balanced ration. ine 40 lini swan SLAVE TRADE NOT DEAD, Tnousands Employed on Plantations on Portuguese Islands, Light on the slavery carried on by (ha Portuguese in Angola and the adjacent islands ol San Thome and Principe was thrown: by 'W. H. Nevinson, addressing the African trade section of the Liver. pool chamber: of commerce, He said that onefifth of the werld's cocoa supply was. grown on (he islands of San Thome' and Principe. The price of slaves had risen lately, which might aceount for the recent in. creased prices of cocoa. Slaves were loo expensive to be allogether badly treated, but théy are kept al work all day and beaten by gangers if they relaxed their industry. "A large number of big dogs were also kept on 'the plantations fo prevent the slaves from running away. On an average 4,000 persons were shipped every year to the islands named, and it was estimated that there were at present nearly 45,000 slaves al work on San Thome alone. No case had been known of & man. slave being returned fo his own eountry, Alter discussion the African trade sec. ticn of the chamber sent a te 0 the foreign office urging the Gavernmens 10: take such steps as are in ils power to abolish the cruel system. Sn The section also resolved that the lead: ing cocoa firms in" England, as sugges. fest by Mr. Nevison, be asked: whether {higy could see their way 0 abstain from urchasing cocoa produced in. the Por guese territories under notice, ber tore "Why did. you ask Mids Coy to sing * od 1 Nas phe only way to make her stop "What is the ravatinig' thing asked Dorothy. married fife?" asked 1 " said the ba : bin on sometaten ea
