A SENSE OF DIRECTION.
The Prime Requisite For Making q
True WOOdsman.

The Prime Requisite For Making a
True WOOdsman.
A sense of direction I should name
as the prime requisite for him who
would become true woodsman, de-
pending on himself rather than on
guides. The faculty is largely devel-
oped Of course by much practice, but
1t must be Unborn. Some men possess
it.; others do not just as some men
have mathematical bent. while to
others figures are always despair. 1t
Is a sort Of extra, having nothing to
do with criterions of intelligence or
mental development, like the repeater
movement in watch. A highly edu-
Gated, cultured man may lack 1t: the
toughest possess it. Some who have
never been In the woods or mountains
acquire In the space Of vacation
fair facility at picking a way. and !
have met q few who have spent their
lives on the prospect trail and who
were still and always would be as
helpless as the newest city dweller.
1t Is a gift, a talent. If you have its
tiniest germ you can become tray
eler of the wide and lonely places.
If you have it not you may as well
resign yourself to guides.-Stewart Ed
ward White in Outing Magazine.

Beware the Man Who Blows smoke
Through His Nostrils.

A popular practice of many smokers
consists in discharging the smoke in

through the nostrils. This is even
considered by some to be essential to
the full enjoyment of the flavor of the
tobacco.
The London Lancet. While acknowl-
edging that perhaps under ordinary
circumstances no harm is done to the
smoker save to his sense Of smell. has
sounded note Of warning against the
habit as Il possible dissemination of dis
ease. Hay fever and other annoying
complaints have been spread through
unsuspecting households by the un-
thinking visitor who habitually blew
smoke through his nose.
The surface traversed by the tobacco
smoke before issuing from the nose. 1t
is remarked by the Lancet. is mois-
tened with the natural secretion Of the
mucous membrane lining 1t. and this
secretion is mingled with the fluid dis
charged from the conjunctival sac pro-
tecting the eyes. 1t therefore contains
numerous micro organisms. which,
floating In the air. have become attach
ed to the moist and stick surface Of
the conjunctiva. as well as those which
pass over the surface Of the nasal
membrane. AS Tyndall long ago show
ed. germs are completely filtered off
from the air inhaled by the extensive
and irregular surfaces presented by
the turbinal bones. These germs are
carried into the air by the man who
blows smoke through his nostrils.

OvERCROWDlNG.
One of the Greatest Evils In the Rear
ina of Domestic Poultry.


There are many poultry keepers who
provide their fowls with large enough
house, but have only sufficient land 10
accommodate half or a quarter the
number of fowls that are crowded on
10 IT. while have seen scores OF cases
where both houses and runs were OF
astonlshlngly small dimensions - IN
fact so small that the idea Of keeping
poultry I'm them was absurd, writes
George Scott of Pudsey, Yorkshire,
England, in American Poultry Journal.
Now, it is impossible to state any
hard and fast rules as regards the size
of n poultry house or run requisite tor
n certain number of fowls. but 1t may
be roughly stated that In building a
fowlhouse about five square feet OF
floor space should be allowed for every
adult fowl. This estimate is liable to
notifications, according to the size OF
the fowls and the height of the house.
In the open fronted or fresh air type
of poultry house half this amount or
floor space will be sufficient for each
fowl
In all cases 1t Is advisable to give
fowls as much liberty as possible, Tor
they are never at their best when kept
In confinement. In many cases, how
ever, this course Is inadmisslble, and
under these circumstances at least
fifty square feet of ground should be
allowed for each fowl and breed
should be kept which Is best able to
stand confinement, for the varieties

course It Is essential for fowls to be
confined during the breeding season
and. provided the runs are large
enough or the number Of fowls In each

Road Maintenance.

Some have an idea that the perma-
nent roads, so called, will or ought to
last forever without any repairs be-
cause they cost so much to build.
With that same kind Of reasoning we
would have a right to expect that
modern thrashing machine that costs
several thousand times as much as the
old fashioned fail ought to last forever
without n cent expended for repairs.
And that, while a violin that costs So
has to be tuned and have new strings,
one costing q thousand dollars should
never need new strings and should be
ways stay in tune. A good road Is
worth, for business or pleasure. sew
eral times as much as bad road, and
some portion of this we can afford 10
expend in keeping II In good condition.
The permanency of the road depends
upon its being kept in perfect repair.

Hints of All Sorts on the Management
of Feathered Pets.

of Feathered Pets.
There Is good in every breed.
Grow a crop of turnips for the ducks.
Count the chickens that you raise
not those that you hatch.
Ducks should not be given corn nor
eornmeal during hot weather.
Let the newly hatched chicks run
tith the hen as long as possible.
The India runner Is the best laying
variety of the duck family.
Whoever undertakes to raise late
chickens must expect to fight lice.
TRY hard to raise more Of the chicks
You hatch this year than ever before.
Bone fed in some shape Is absolutely
Necessary If you wish eggs.
Neatsfoot oil Is highly recommended
as q remedy for scaly legs In fowls.
Apply with soft brush.
During hot weather 1t Is safer to
run the incubator In a cool, dry cellar
than it Is above ground.
Vegetables are best fed in raw
state. Cut them up in a root or bone
cutter ana 1eeu III lTOuSnS'
During summer there should be but
two regular feeds for the breeding
stock. Give grass or green stuff at
noon.
Watch the droppings Of the poultry
Much regarding the health of the fowls
can be told from their condition.
Be careful of the half grown chicks
Many hens wean their young too soon
and a cold rain Is sure death to them
If properly grown and cared for, the
June Matched pullets will come into

A goose egg weighing five ounces
will hatch a gosling that in three
