Exercise For Hens.

If there is anything that hen
needs to cause her to lay we'll in win
ter, 1T is exercise. 1t thrills the
whole nervous system and sends the
blood faster through the system,
building up broken down tissues and
supplying the digestive organs with
plenty of nourishment to do the work
necessary to Nssmulate food so as to
transform it into eggs. Never before
has this subject come up with as much
zeal and earnestness as il has in the
past few years. Poultrymen are
opening their eyes to their needs and
are doing all they can to make the
hens lay well in winter.
a hen that goes on in her sluggish
way of hoging down all she can eat
without one bit of effort on her part
will soon become sick or too fat to Law
and is fit for only the table or market.
Ii you have good poultry house
made tight, with plenty of windows
large ones) in the south, procure
some cut straw or leaves and scatter
over one end OF the house, being sure
it is in the end where the most sun
light is. Chaff is good, too, and it
would be well to put some under the
cut straw or old leaves. You can
make the litter foot deep or more if
you like. Scatter fine seed in this
some morning, after the fowls have
had about n half meal of some warm
mash, and just see what those hens
will do. My, such scratching, fight
ing, jumping and singing you will
have never heard before. Soon their
blood fairly shoots through their veins
and they work SO hard that at night
they will be ready for big supper
which, if it is grain, should be fed
early and i'll the same way.
What they eat is digested because
of the natural tonic they have taken
III the way of vigorous exercise. Fol
lowing good digestion comes health
and then a well-tilled egg basket. OF
course your hens should be free from
lice, or else the exercise will lie of lit
tie benefit. Do not let the fowls eat
any grain unless they scratch for it,
or do not think for a moment that you
will overwork your fowls.

TOBACCO AND REVENUE TAX.
How Docs the Jobber Mako Up tho Ex-

The retails tobacconist who sells you
your package OF smoking can't tell you
just how the jobber or manufacturer
makes up for the extra revenue Uncle
Sam has placed on each package for
war expenses. No apparent change is
noticeable in the size OF the bags or
boxes OF the standard articles. In the
best-known goods retailers and Job
bers were generally sufficiently we'll
supplied with stocks. stamped before
the war tax became effective. to carry
them along for months. Now the war
taxed products are coming in. The
packages all seem to be OF the same
size and shape and as familiar In APP
pearance as of yore. But II you ex-
anime closely you will find that the
tobacco is packed in more loosely and
consequently there is not so much OF
1t as you got for the same price six
months ago. or course the manufac-
turers had to make up the extra reve-
nue, and that's the way they do 1t,

NEW WAY OF EARNING FEES.
Doctors FcTbidding Renewal of Pre-
scriptIons without Orders

From the New York Sun: Only a
short time ago several ply siciens
prominent in a special branch OF prac-
tice met 10 decide in what way they
could best bring ia the attention OF
a colleague question that interested
them greatly. This physician wac al
most the best known in his speciality
in the city. but his charges. in view
OF his reputation. have always been
SO moderate that his associates felt
the need OF protesting. But 10 was
decided not 10 protest. and the physi-
clan received only an intimation that
his fees sometimes astonished his
brothers in the profession. One physi-
clan in town has recently introduced
practice which is said to be increSs-
ing In popularity with the profession.
and 1t is likely that the custom will
be adopted widely by those physicians
who have authority enough TO at
tempt anything so novel. This doctor
has his patients take the prescription
to druggist who is forbidden by the
terms Of his agreement to renew the
prescription except upon a written or
der from the doctor. No patient can
get his bottle or box refilled unless he
brings the new prescription. which
means. of course. another visit to the
doctor. The bottles are OF size that
lasts for week. In some cases the
same medicines are renewed week af-
ter week, but with the order that
comes only from the visit to the doc
tor. They are changed In few cases.
The profession has not protested
against this new fashion as yet. and
1t is not likely that II will. But 1t is
only the influential and authoritative
among the physicians that are able
to attempt II.

There is no land so rich ms to ex-
cuse the farmer for wasting its fertil-
lty or the manure from his live stock.
Any man is much blessed, if lie is per-

such unpromising tracts of lands liter

But the farmer, as has lust been
said, who can command fine virgin soil
at the beginning should estimate cor
rectly the value OF his good fortune

Select four pieces of ordinary six
inch fencing board twenty to twenty
four inches long. Nail them to-
gether so as to form box, closing
one end. The top piece should be an
inch shorter than the others. Nail
the bottom and top boards to the side
boards, thus making the opening six
inches perpendicularly and four inches
horizontally. A sliding door is then
made to fit neatly into the open end
and two pieces of lath nailed against
the ends OF the perpendicular boards,

door then slides down between the

this would seem like nonsense, but it
is as of just as much sense as that

one knows that if the churn is not
washed after Hhurnine time, but left

butter will be of favored. And why
this takes place is explained by BAG

might never wash our churn and no

ganic matter left to itself under favor
able conditions soon developes

when any utensil is not washed clean

get out of the way to make room for a
crop of weeds if the soil is not right.
Now there are two points to be kept
in mind regarding bacteria in butter;
the first of which is that most bacteria
will succumb to a temperature of two
hundred and twelve degrees, and the
second is that il the undesirable bac-
terra are all gotten out of the way that
the desirable kind will come of their

The Currycomb For Cows.

Somehow the COW never gets half
the care in the stable that the horse
does, especially as to currying aud
brushing. Even in the field where
the COW lies down in green pastures
she often has scurf on her skin which
causes her to rub against trees and
posts. We knew farmer once who
fastened a pole between two posts
Just high enough so that COWS of diff
ferent sizes could go under it and
rub their backs against it. The in
stitution was always we'll patronized
and doubtless paid the cows owner.
In the stable the currycomb handled
with plenty of elbow grease is the best
substitute for this device. The most
currying and brushing will be needed
around the neck and shoulders.
