Closely parallel to the flag end of

dingy, granite paved, populous street
of no attraction, the sort of street in

CHICKEN NOTES.

The ducks ought to have some ami
NAL food, or they will not lay fertile
eggs.
A variety of food will help to keep
the hens healthy and will also be good
for the egg production.
To select good layers begin by elm
mating the lazy hens. A lazy hen has
no place in a flock of breeding birds.
The kitchen scraps will be quite an
item toward the feed of a small flock
of hens and they will give better re-
turns for them than the pigs will.
In ordering eggs from advertisers or
in filling mail orders great care should
be used to avoid mistakes. Be sure
you are right and then go ahead
The cost of keeping a hen on the
farm is less than so cents a year An
average hen will lay ten dozen eggs a
year. Good layers will lay many more.
In dressing ducks for market, it is
sometimes impossible to pick all of the
down off. Grease your hands and rub
all over the duck. 1t will look much
nicer.
The pulling out here and there of an
Objectionable feather may never be
discovered in the show room, but they
will make their influence felt in future
generations.

age of injustice to the community it
self. In the first place, some merchant
| loses the profit on a sale. Not only
| that but the price of the article rep
resents so much of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
| is not working. Having capital tied
up means that the operations of the
merchant are curtailed to that extent
| He has that much less to spend; that
| much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage of the
| butcher, the baker and the other pur-
veyors of the necessities of life; to in
vest in property, in newspaper adver-
| Using; to deposit in bank where it
| may be used by other members of the
community, or to devote to church or
| charity. The money which goes to the
mail order house decreases the per
capita of circulation in the community;
a factor which determines largely the
| value of all goods or property on the
market; the scale of wages and the in
terest on loans.
1t is not hard to trace the effect of
the diversion of money from its legiti
trade languishes because of the lack
of circulating medium; merchants and
all others curtail expenses; the volume
of trade decreases and nothing re-
stores activity in trade but an increase
from some quarter of the circulating
medium. When the volume of money
| increases, trade moves and it moves
as fast as the volume of money will
permit. Money that is working is con-
stantly producing profit to all; money
that is not working produces stagna-
ton in trade.
Accordingly, it is to the interest of
every member of community to con-
fine his expenditures as nearly as pos
sible to the community in which he
lives Every dollar he spends at home
helps to make his own holdings more
valuable because they are more salable.
When a community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and if the money issnot divert
ed, it revolves constantly the finan
cial circle of the community, earning
a profit for everyone who handles it
and turns it over.
Accordingly, the money spent at
home is bearing compound interest for
the community. Its effect is apparent
even 40 the outsider. Spending money
at home is species of loyalty which
makes materially for the progress of
the community If the community is
composed of the sort of people who
spend their money at home it ad-
vances rapidly. There is money for
public improvements, money for new
enterprises. The money which the
loyal man makes at home is invested
at home; the city grows, the streets
are improved and the marks of pros
perity and progress are evident on
every side.
We are wont to inveigh against the
| wealthy man who makes his money in
one town and invests it in another.
We criticize him for want of loyalty

Movable Poultry Houses.

Movable poultry houses are coming
into use on many farms. especially on
those farms where many hundreds of
fowls are kept. Some of these poul-
try houses are supported on skids,
long runners on which the houses can
be dragged about wherever desired.
Generally the houses are pulled over
grass ground, and over grass the rum
ners slip easily. The skids are made
of long pieces of planks planed smooth
on the underside and slightly hewed
at the front end, so as to give an up
turn. Two of these are connected firm
ly by means of cross pieces, so that a
horse can be hitched to the front part
and the whole establishment moved to
any part of the farm. This makes it
easy to move the house every week
or so, and thus give the fowls fresh
grass.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that change
in food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. 1 followed instruc-
tions and now I am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

TRADING AT HOME
MANY REASONS WHY 1T is THE
BEST POLICY.
SELF-!NTEREST A BIC FEATURE
That Which Benefits the Community
as a Whole Benefits Each Indi-
vidual-The "Why and
Wherefore"

AS self-iuterest is the law which gov
ems the transactions of trade, it is the
first light in which the subject of
Trading at Home" must be treated.
Sentiment has little influence in trade.
The prosperity of any community
depends on the volume of business
transacted within its borders. The
facility with which business can be
transacted depends largely upon the
amount of money in circulation and
any influence which takes money out
of community is detrimental to the
financial welfare of the community
1t is in this respect that trading with
mail order houses cripples a COM
munity. Money which should be kept
in local circulation gees to swell the
volume of money in the distant city
| instead of remaining at home to be
turned over and over again as the me-
| dunn of transfer among local mer-
chants and their customers.
The effect of this diversion of money
is not confined to the merchants who
lose sales thereby; it extends eventu-
ally to every member of the COM
munity. 1t is curtailment of business
which affects the value of all property
even to the labor of the man who is
| dependent on a days work for his liv-
ing. 1t reacts upon the people who
purchase away from home in degree
which more than offsets any possible
saving in price that may be effected in
the purchase.
Every dollar sent out of any COM
munity for goods which can be pur-
chased at home represents a percent

THoRoueHNEss IN DETAIL.
Don't Hatch More Chickens Than You
Can Well Care For.

Success in the poultry business de-
peuds largely on the thoroughness in
all its details. 1t has been truly said
that whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well" therefore, we should
bear this in mind at the beginning of
the Matching season, and not hatch
more chicks than we can properly care
for. small flock of poultry well
taken care of is more satisfactory and
more profitable than very large flock
of scrawny, lousy fowls which are I'M
fit for home use and are always drug
on the market
1t is better to have a flock of so hens
we'll taken care of than to have flock
of 500 raised in a haphazard sort of
way. The poultryman who devotes
his time exclusively to the business
can be more thorough than the farmer
who raises poultry merely as a side
line. The farmers wives, as rule,
are overtaxed with work and feel they
cannot give their poultry the attention
it should have. The wise thing to do
under these circumstances is to bear
in mind that quality will pay better
than quantity and refrain from hatch
ing more than one can properly take
care of.
1t is quite amusing during the spring
and summer months to hear the re-
ports of the housewives in a neighbor-
hood of chickens each has Matched.
We would like to hear from them
again in the fall; it is the number we
raise that counts, provided the quality
is right. We cannot raise poultry like
weeds; II we did they would be like
weeds-worthless Who could relish
a tough, scrawny, lousy fowl, which
had been starved all its life, and tor
tured with lice? Does it pay to raise
such fowls?
Why not be. consistent about these
things, urges Farmers Advocate, and
remember that fowls should have clean
places to roost, clean food, and fresh
water, clean drinking vessels, and
clean troughs or pans for their feed.
The bill of fare should be changed
often; they should have access to
fresh dirt. Grit should always be be-
fore them. Lime and disinfectants
should be freely used to keep down
doors. Success cannot be obtained in
any business without effort and the
poultry business is no exception to the
rule. Persistent efforts and thorough
ness i'll all the details are what count
and will bring results that can be OBJ
tanned in no other way.
