New England has been responsible
to a large degree for the plan of u.s.
ing cold poultry houses, which is be-
ing generally adopted all owe the
country.
Until a few years ago poultrymen
everywhere believed that the warmer
a henhouse could be kept the better
the results would be. So the build
ings we're made as snug as possible,
with close-itting windows, tight doors,
sometimes even with a stove to add
more heat than that furnished by the
bodies of the fowls.
Now this practice has been SO far
departed from by many New England
poultrymen that muslin curtains have
taken the place of glass windows, the
doors are left open much of the time
and no one is greatly concerned If a
bushel or two OF snow blows in.
Prof. G. M. Cowell of the Maine
agricultural experiment station at
Orono was the pioneer in the matter
of exploiting the use of muslin cur.
tains in place of glass, and the results
of his experiments along this line
have led hundreds of people to adopt
his plan.
Prof. Gowell uses houses which have
both glass windows and muslin cur
tains, the idea being to admit a gen
erous amount both of light and of air
He also uses curtains in front of thu
roosts, so that the birds sleep in wha

houses are built with that thought i

Satisfy OR
OYSTER PLANT

The oyster plant, as satisfy is called,
is a biennial; its name is earned by
the favor it imparts to soup, not so
pronounced in strength as the real
oyster, but similar to it and preferred
by many.
The plant is very hardy and has
been introduced into this country from
Europe, where it is extensively cul-
tivated. 1t can be grown under rather
severe climatic conditions. The seeds
are shaped like narrow prisms from
two-thirds to three-quarters of an inch
long. They are brown, tapering to a
small point. They should be planted
in rows, sown thick, covered by not
more than one-half or th~ree-quarters of
an inch Of dirt. A loose, mellow soil
is essential.
The fleshy tap root Is the edible por-
ion Of the plant and If the ground is
not in good condition 1t will become
branched and be of little value. 1t
sometimes attains a diameter of one
to one and a half inches and a length
Vt eight to ten inches.
If we'll cultivated satisfy will con

Once more Aunt Abby laughed, a
good, hearty laugh, and then, much to

in her hands and kissed it.

That night when the tea-table had

of Old Cy, and all about him. For an
hour, Chip, nothing loath, recited his

The Disk Plnw.

Speaking Of the disk pillow the Colo
RADIO station says: The disk pillow is
capable of handling ground that has
become too dry and hard for the
mold-board pillow. 1t is of somewhat
lighter draft, does not require sharp
ening so often, cuts throughtrash better
and does not clog SO easily. The mold
board pillow must be recommended as
able to do the best work In all places
where the moisture conditions are fav-
orable. In nearly all irrigated and
humid sections, and often in dry farm
ing sections, this type of plow is much
better than the disk, The disk can be
recommended for dry and hard condi-
tons of soil.

CHAPTER Xxx.

After Chip had run away from
Greenvale, concealment CT her name
and all else had forced itself upon her.
1t was not natural for her to deceive.
She had kept it up for one unhappy
year snly under inward protest, which
ended in abiect confession and tears.
Now recalling that unpleasant episode,
she made haste to confess her long
conversation with this fluent fellow.
'Mr. Goodnow followed me over to
the point this afternoon" she ex-
planned that evening to Aunt Abby,
and talked for two hours. He was
Lice enough, but he made me sick OF

Aunt Abby looked at her with a
slight sense of alarm.

dence, at least" she said, lin view OF

your long rambles for the present, or
until he leaves here. He is not our

That was warning enough for Chip
and from that time or she never even
walked down to the village store ex'
cspt with Aunt Abby.
A curious and almost ridiculous
espionage followed, however, for Q
week, and not a pleasant Afternoon
pissed by but this fellow was noticed
~strolling somewhere near the old mil
or past the house.
Another amazing evidence Of his in
tent was received a few days later, in
the shape of a fiye.pourd box Of
choicest candies, that came by expires.

deliver the box, card and all, to Mr.

RATIONAL CURE
FOR ECZEMA
No More Dosing the Stomach
Cure the Skin Through the
Skin
Skin

When you have a scratch on
your hand you wash it out and
cleanse it and then the skin cures
itself. You do not take blood
medicine to cure a festered
wound.
The best skin specialists today
are agreed that the only way to
cure the skin is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is a skin
disease and not a blood disease is
evident from statistics which
show that nearly all eczema suf-
ferers are perfectly healthy in all
other ways except as to their
skin. If the eczema patients were
really suffering from an inward
malady, the entire body and not
only the skin would be diseased.
You can prove Immediately
the relief of true skin cure by
using oil of wintergreen as com
pounded in ID. ID. d. Prescription.
This liquid attacks the disease

building up the healthy tissue of
