One of the best of green foods for
the hens-in winter is cabbage. 1t is
easily grown, easily kept and easily
fed.
The use OF trap nest will speedily
pick out the drones in a flock. A
few trap nests should be had by ev-

High roosts and heavy fowls do
not go well together. Lame birds are
sure to be the result. Roosts located
not over two feet from floor are the
best.
Dry. sandy ground is best for poul-

Learning how to prevent diseases
in poultry is worth far more than
learning how to cure them. Besides,
1t is less expensive.
{ Trying to force pullets to lay by
giving them highly seasoned food is
seldom satisfactory. They must be
properly matured before producing
eggs naturally.
A change OF diet occasionally is
appreciated, in fact, demanded, by the
hens, so do not feed them day after
day on the same kind OF food. Fowls
will eat nearly everything, SO there
is no necessity Of limiting them to
one food.
Don't rush all the turkeys off to
the Thanksgiving market unless they
are in the very best condition. The
Christmas market is usually just as
good.
Numbers are delusicn sometimes.
Fifty hens we'll housed and well
cared for will return greater profit
than a hundred that are allowed to
take care of themselves.
Some men hate chickens because
they roost all over the place, scratch
up the garden and flower beds and
eat enough corn to raise drove of
hogs. Other stock would be just as
great nuisance If not confined and
cared for.-From Poultry PickiEgs"

should be closely watched during the
early stages of their development to-
see IL they become infected with par
asites. In view of this possible in
lection, it would be very good plan
to dust the plumage of the hen with
disinfectant powders before her brood
is Matched. These powders should
be handled carefully, as it would in,

After attending to the radiance OF
the chicks of external parasites, the
possible gapes should be guarded
against. This disease, IL such 4

is, of e. red color. and measures from
one-haIf to two-thirds of an inch in
length. When swallowed, the worm
becomes attached to the membrane
which serves as lining to the wind
pipe, thus otstructing the breathing.
A number of remedial agents have
been recomm ended. hut the removal
of the worm is the best remedy.
One way to accomplish this removal
is to moisten the end of small
feather from which the web has been
stripped except the tip, with oil or
salt water. and then introducing 1t

then withdraw 1t. This motion OF

worm, and it will be drawn out with

a good remedy.
Cleanliness is doubtless The best
preventive of gapes. A thin coating
of lime spread over the ground

serve to prevent its infestation by

AUTHOR or RILIKRNs.


Miss Florence Pretz of Kansas City
is said to have already made small
fortune by the sale of the good luck
tokens known as Billikens. Miss
Fretz is described as a young artist
who before her creation Of the
saucy clay image had never been able
to do any work with marketable
value. While all her little world ac-
knowledged her artistic ability no
one would buy the fantastic Oriental
drawings that she turned out. Her
first lot of Billikens were taken to
Chicago by friend who promised to
try to sell them. They met with such
ready sale that the friend wrote back
advising that others be made and
sent as quickly as possible. Within
a month the little images were the
talk of the town and orders were
coming from almost every State in
the Union. With the proceeds Of
their sale Miss Pretz was able to
carry out long cherished plan Of
having a studio in Chicago and be-
ing able to work under the best
teachers.--Ne York Sun.

rHE spouEp CHILD.

In 'The Autobiography of An Only
Child" in "Everyibody's," the anony-
nous writer sums up her case in the
following fashion:
In spite of better judgment, fear
every one of us who are only chill
dren in his heart likes having his
own way, having his own things to
himself, having, in short, a monopoly
of his parents. And that is because
we are. most of us, spoiled, as is
the common report about us. "He is
a sweet-tempered child they say,
but spoiled; meaning that he is i'm

in fact, that he has not had normal
and necessary opposition. Indulgent
parents are quite capable of spelling
thus half dozen, but it seems safe
to say that the child's chances of
remaining unspoiled. in spite. of his
parents, increase with the number of
his brothers and sisters, because his
parents attention cannot be centered
on him, and the conditions thus be-
come more nearly normal.

AT THE GEM

Prof, Hirsch made the statement q
few days ago that he would have
some high class acts for the Gem thea
ire for the future, and he is surely
living up to his promise this week.
The people had just recovered from
laughing at the comedy sketch Of
the first of the week when they were
called upon to witness another first
class bill for the latter part Of the
present week. Lewis and Lexington,
who opened last night, are there with
the fun in a rural comedy sketch, and
kept the house in continual up
roar for the entire time they were on
the stage last evening. O'Neil and
Marion have a comedy entitled Prom
Shakespeare to Uncle Tom," and it is
| fine.
The bill is laughing bill this week
and it will surely repay you to visit
the Gem.
Among the motion pictures is "Only
Dream" magic, "A Sure Cure"
comedy, and "The Remuneration" a
drama of the west. The films are all
first run films and are of high char
acter.

The agricultural college authorities
of the state have prepared a number
of small sacks Of durum -four, to be
used by people in the state in con-
nection with "durum wheat" day
which has been set for October Z.
Durum wheat day is a day set apart
by the governor for the enlargement
of the field Of use for durum wheat.
A good many people of the state
would no doubt like to observe the
day periodically, but may be in a
quandary as to where to obtain -four
made from durum wheat. For this
reason the experiment mill at the COL
lege has prepared a limited number
of sacks Of -four, which will be dis
tributed on application We fear the
number of sacks prepared will be in
adequate to supply the demand, but
at least number of families will be
thus given an opportunity to bake
edibles out Of durum -four and assist
in the patriotic observance of the
day.
