Learning to Swim,

The value of swimming as an exer-
else has been proved by some of the
most famous athletes, and the mastery
of this accomplishment, moreover, may
some day mean the saving of human
life. That boys and girls should be
taught to swim admits of no argument.
AS 1t is, the majority Of children fear
the water, and much OF this fear is due
to the misguided anxiety of their par
ents. The trouble with beginners is
that they make too much Of the task
provided the effort is made, the slight
est muscular effort will suffice to keep
one ahoat. How readily one may learn
to swim is shown in the June Delinea-
tor by an expert in the art, who de-
scribes the various strokes, floats div
ing, costume, etc, in the simplest man
ner possible. Some striking pictures
taken from life are shown.

POULTRY HOUSES.
4ey Should Be Comfortable If

They Should Be Comfortable IL
Fowls Are Expected to Do Wen.
We are glad that we are getting so
many inquiries about poultry houses.
1t shows that our readers are thinking
about the comfort Of their birds, and it
is well that they should do so, for the
hen that is not comfortable is not prof
liable. 1t is a curious fact that a good
many people feed their poultry liberal
ly the year around with feed that costs
or would bring money, and do this
without any feeling as to the cost, who
will not go to any expense to provide
the flock with a comfortable house for
the cold weather. These people often
set up the plea that they don't think it
good policy to "pamper" or "coddle"
fowls, alleging that such course is
productive of disease. Some Of them
even offer as an excuse that nature has
provided fowls with warm suit Of
feathers to protect them from stress of
weather They say that birds of all
kinds live in the open air and that this
proves that such exposure is best for
them.
Did you ever stop to think just how
hard hearted nature is and how little
protection she gives to her children? If
every bird that is Matched in our fields
were to grow to maturity, we would
soon be "eaten out Of house and home"
by the birds. We have watched birds
nests times without number, and very
few of the little fedgelings ever live to
take even the first journey into the
world. Predatory enemies, severe
storm or some other accident befalls
them, and they disappear.
Besides this the natural home of our
domestic fowls was in a climate where
everlasting spring abides almost-in
northern midland here the rank lux
uriance OF vegetation, the swarming in
sect life, the plentifulness of seeds and
fruits made it possible for fowls to live
in plenty and comfort the year through.
Now we keep them in a climate that is
rigorous half the year and expect them
to go on laying eggs winter and sum-
mer, and some people are ready to con-
denim the flock that does not come up
to their expectations, even when oblig-
ed to sleep in a tree when the tenn
perature is below zero. We haven't
much faith in the humanity of a man
who will build for himself a comfort
able dwelling place and let his fowls
take such weather as may come with
out protection of any kind
A comfortable house is not merely a
humane provision for the comfort of
the fowls. 1t is a means Of saving
feed, for the flock that is kept warm
through the winter will not eat as
much as the one that is not sheltered
This is why the hen that is exposed
to the inclemency of the weather does
not lay in winter The first use she
makes of the feed she eats is to keep
her body In good condition and main
tain the temperature at the normal
point. If she is in warm house, she
consumes less in doing this than she
would if exposed. Any surplus she
may be given goes to the manufacture
Of eggs. If she is not given shelter, it
requires all she can eat to keep her.
