When your hens sing know then that
they are feeling good and will lay.
Hens will not lay well or thrive I'M
less they have plenty of sunlight. Keep
the windows clean.
Don't fuss around your hens too
much. Like some people, they want to
be let alone at times.
Take the chill off the water. Hens
will not lay many eggs if they are
compelled to drink ice water and eat
corn mixed with snow.
Get rid of tie useless cockerels and
old hens. Stuff them and they will
grow fat and tender-not too tender
but enough to grace a boarding house
table
Throw some rusty nails in the drink
ing trough. The hens need the iron rs
a tonic. But DO not let anything else
besides clean water go in with the
nails.
Dressed fowls, wrapped in clean.
white paper and packed in new boxes
Will bring enough more to pay well for
the trouble. 1t is not hard to get TOP
prices by little thought and work.
The hens ought to begin scratching
first thing in the morning. A few
handfuls Of grain thrown in the litter
after the birds have gone to roost will
give them something to do that will
warm up their blood as soon as they
leave the rOOst.
Green bone is the thing that brings
the eggs in winter. You cannot afford
to do without it. 1t contains all the
food elements necessary to make eggs.
As it is a highly concentrated food it
should be fed without clover or bran
It is a sad mistake to feed lavino
hens or any other kind red pepper or
any sort Of stimulating food That is
one Of the old-fashioned theories that
do more harm than good. Do not do it
because it acts like whisky on a man.
The reaction is sure to come and leave
the birds in worse condition than be-
fore.

HOW CIGAR CAUSES CANCER.

There are many smokers who delight

dangerous, and smokers who have been
troubled with cancer of the mouth or
tongue bring it about not so much
through the incessant smoking as by
holding a cigar constantly at one side of

Almost $2,0OO,00OOO0 worth of
horses are owned in the United States,
according to the Year Book of the De
partment of Agriculture. 1t is prob
able that if the horses were taken at
their real value, instead Of their u.s.
sessed value, this figure would be great
ly increased. According to this report,
try, with a value Of 1857 100000, and
the average value per head is $3.50.
Anybody knows that has tried to buy
horses of late that the average per
head is too small, for even an ordinary
work horse is worth more than that.
However, the showing is very encour
aging. In the last ten or twelve years
the number Of horses in this country
has almost doubled and, instead OF
there being too many horses, there are

use of automobile trucks in the large
cities the merchants of this country
would be hard pressed for methods of
transportation for their goods With
business increasing, as every sign indi-
Gates, there Will be a greater demand
than ever for horses during the COM
ing year. In view of this, breeders
can go on increasing their business,
with every confidence that all the
horses they can produce will find a
ready sale at a good figure. AS for
good trotters, horses capable of going
out and winning in their class, the de-
mand is greatly in excess of the sup
ply. Auction sale managers complain
that there are not enough of the good
ones to supply the gentlemen who are
in the market for likely prospects. The
coming year will be a banner one in
the horse business, especially in the
breeding business.
