FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad-
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.
Pure white lead-the Dutch Boy
Painter kind-mixed with pure lin
seed oil (tinted as desired) gives a
winter coat to building that is an
armor against the severest attacks of
the winter rain, sleet, winds and snow.

possible in his cattle and other live
stock, he never thinks of improving
the size or laying quality of his poul-
try.
Then for feeding in summer they
shift for themselves. This will prob
ably do when the flock has plenty of
free range, but in the winter it is
about the same thing, with corn add
ed as the principal diet. No water ex-
cept occasionally when they happen
to think of it. Is it any wonder that
this farmers poultry does not pay?
Now change this plan and take care
Of your poultry as you do your other
stock, and see how quickly they re-
spond to good treatment and become
the best property you have on the
farm. If you have not time yourself,
turn them over to your wife, daughter
or boy. Furnish them a good, warm
building, where they can be kept
clean; use judgment in feeding; give
plenty of all kinds of grain, not too
much corn, except at night in winter;
have fresh water before them all the
time; you will probably be surprised
to see the amount of water they will
drink; give them the scraps from the
table and green vegetables chopped
fine occasionally. The small potatoes
boiled make an excellent feed for a
change. Keep plenty of grit and oy-
ster shells where they can reach it
handily and little charcoal also. Try
this plan for while and keep account
of all expenditures and receipts and
we will guarantee that your poultry
will pay.
Don't keep poor stock. 1t does not
cost any more to feed a well-bred
flock of Black Spanish, White or
Brown Leghorns, Wyandottes or Ply
mouth Rocks than it does to keep
scrubs that will weigh from four to
five pounds each. Sell off the old
stock for what they will bring and
start in right with a few full-blooded
birds that you will be proud to see
about the farm. At this season of the
year you can buy first-class stock very
make your start. Remember that
poultry does pay.
We now have plenty of poultry
farms from Maine to California. The
figures for the industry in the United
States are almost beyond belief and
still credible. Many poultrymen have
incomes of from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually from poultry alone and still
many think that poultry does not pay.
They will return more for the amount
invested than any other stock kept on
the farm.

The Root of AItrnisn,-

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of Justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that l ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that l owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. X. Chesterton.

"My six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. BY
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a

not help her and I tried several rene.
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised, 1

One of our nearest neighbors, Mr..
J. A. Stevens, planned five years ago
to buid one, but could find DO one who
was willing to undertake the work,
says the Indiana Farmer. His son, a
mere lad of 20 summers, planned a
form and they went at the task of
building one Is by so feet. They did
all the work themselves complete, in
time to fill that fall, and used all of
their corn crop and did not get it
quite filled. 1t was a complete sue
cess. Then the next fall they built
another one, 16 by so or 20 feet. Since
then they have been filling both with
complete success. 1t requires over 80
acres of very heavy corn to fill them.
He feeds 1t mostly to two-year-old
steers, finishing them with the use of
corn, for the market

A Modern Poultry House.

used, that is for both winter and sum.
mer. AS shown on the floor plan,
writes J. E. Bridgman in Farm and
Home, the house has a ground sur
face 16x40 feet in size; it is 10 feet
high in front and five feet at the
caves. The roof, rear and the two
ends are covered with eight-inch ship
lap and this in turn covered with a
good grade of roofing felt. The cor
ner boards and frieze are nailed on
over the felt A gutter is formed by
mailing two by six inch timber near
the caves as shown. This is lined
with roofing felt and given three
inch fall to one end. This keeps the
rear side of the house dry. Usually
this side is to the north and the wa
ter from the roof keeps the ground
damp and wet at all times, as it is
never reached by the sun. AS will be
seen in the front view, the entire
front is open and covered with poul-
try netting; the door hung with
spring hinges.
The nest and roost rooms are built
plan, and are nine by twelve feet
square; the remaining space is devot-
ed to scratching sheds. A door in the
hall separates the house into two de-
partments and if desired two breeds
may be kept. The doors to the nest
and roost rooms are simply frames
covered with heavy cloth; also the
two three by four foot windows
which are shown above the nests. The
doors and windows are closed during
the cold months and left open through
the summer During wet or stormy
weather the birds are confined and
the scratching room floors covered
with six or eight inches of straw. A
few handfuls of grain are scattered in
this litter and the birds will be con-
tented all day long. A laying hen is
naturally very nervous and should not
be frightened or bothered if you ex-
pect her to do her best This house
is inexpensive, does not look out Of
place in the poultry yard and it will
give the birds the care needed, which
they cannot receive with a house
without scratching room.

If you will take the trouble to inves-
tigate this farmers flock of poultry
you will say at once it's no wonder
that his flock of poultry does not pay.
1t seems strange that the average
farmer who will take good care OF
his COWS, horses, pigs and sheep will
let his flock of poultry shift for them
selves and not furnish them very
much to shift on, either. Usually
their house is an old shed in too poor
a condition to keep anything else in,
with leaky roof, cracks in the side for
ventilation, some old poles for perches,
perhaps not cleaned out more than
once year, good breeding place for
lice, but poor place for poultry IL
you expect it to pay.
Then his flock is mongrel bred, all
sizes, shapes and colors, and while
this same farmer will probably take
particular pains to get the best blood

A New One About Napoleon.

A new story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply SO old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Butcher, going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What a
chance you missed!" exclaimed the
latter.

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

Buttermilk ranks next to skim milk
in feeding value.
Feed the hens plenty of good, bulky
nutritious food made up of egg mate
rails or fat forming materials, depend
ent on whether you wish them to lay
or to prepare them for market, but
avoid drugs.
Wood ashes should not be thrown
into the poultry yard. It will bleach
out and injure the shanks and toes of
the fowls, and it is waste of good
tertilizing material that ought to go
on the garden.
A clean poultry house puts money
into the farmers or poultry raiser's
pocket.
Chickens are fond of sour milk. and
it is good for them.
No matter how much people may
sheer you can make good money with
poultry at present prices for eggs and
fowls. If you do not the fault is all
your own.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: 'In the
practice of my profession l have
found so many points in favor of
Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Gan essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu-
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
of fruit juice for favouring. This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
My husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
Personally regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-wel or
sick"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv.
