Pianos do not improve with age; among the agencies which frequent'y hasten their deterioration are lack of tuning, artificial heat, and dam Of first importance in the : in " tion of a piano is tuning. It should be tuned at least once in every six months, for the sake of @husical effi- elency and to keep it to the correct pitch, © Pianos become out of tune : whether used or not, and this rule S08 "therefore holds good in every case. A ; piano should never be used when it is out of tune, as this shortens its life owing to tho uneven strain imposed upon the various parts of the frame- work and soundboard. - It is economy to obtain the services of a reiable and competent tuner, making arrangements for him to tune the piano at regular intervals. Tan Ang day shoud be marked on the cal- endar in or¢er that the piano may be at the tuner's disposal on that day; otherwise, if he has to be put off, it is possible that the piano may be left untuned for too long a period. Piano tuners are much in request and should be engaged regularly. a ". GARING FOR THE FELT.

When eight cups of ice to one cup of salt are used in the freezing, there is a greater ex- pansion of the dessert than when less ice is employed. During the freezing there is an expansion of 86 per cent. with uncooked mixtures and of 28 per cent. with cooked custards. With three parts of ice to one of salt the expan- sion is only 18 per cent. To avoid a waste of salt in the freezing process the freezer is filled one third full of Thopped ice before any salt is added.

When he would speak of the objects around him which he had observed-- often for the first time--some member of the family would say, "Oh, that is. 'nothing new. I knew that ages ago." They did not intend to be unkind, but they did discourage any attempt at conversation that he offered so that he finally came to the table, gulped down his food, asked to be excused and hastened away to play with out- side companions. Donald is grown up now but he still has the habit of eat- ing dinner, at home, practically in silence; when he goes out, he proves excellent company. Every member of a family should have his "say" in the flow of family conversation. If a child has any physical deform- ities, they should never be mentioned. Friends who call and offer pity should be told privately not to do so before the child, lest it cause him to eeek seclusion, feeling strongly that some- how he is "different." Jim has one leg left shorter than the other by infantile paralysis. His family never mentioned it in public yor in any way alluded to the fact that he was "a little lame boy." They did, however, all they could to correct the deformity. Jim became a leader with his "crowd." He danced, swam, played go'f and tennis and could do most of the things that the others did just a little better than they. Probably not half of them ever noticed the slight limp that Jim had, because he was so entirely unconscious of it himself. He would have been an entirely different fellow if the family had taught him that he was "different" and could not do what other children could do. Ly Gl Skim Milk Builds Eggs. To test the value of skim milk for laying hens I put 60 pullets in two pens equally divided, and fed them exactly alike but gave them different drinks. Ow» pen had sweet skim milk while the other had only plenty of fresh water. This test was begun on November 1st and ts were bal d¢ with both pens on May folowing. Those which drank the water had hut littios over half as much credit for eggs laid, while their feed had cost nearly a third more than the pen which were fed skim milk. Some days in the very coldest weather the milk-fed pen of 80 pullets laid 28 eggs and their aver- age for January'was 24 eggs daily. The ekim-mik pen not only produced more eggs but they also did not con- sume nearly es much feed as the other pen.--G. P. tere. Ihave a speaking 4 with the druggist."
