SHORT EGG SUPPLY.
Not Sufficient Care Taken In Weed
Ing Out Hens.

Not Sufficient Care Taken In Weed
Ing Out Hens.
If the subject were investigated
believe 1t would be found that the
chief reason why on so many farms so
few eggs are now produced Is that not
sufficient care has been taken in
wedding out the old hens. These,
lay in winter, and are Improbable
stock. There should on the farm be
nothing but pullets and birds Of last
year; and these should not, II they
exceed so, be ali kept together, but
split up into different lots on different
parts of the farm. Also give them
their liberty; they are then more
healthy, pick up a portion of their
keep and save their owners pocket.
A sleeping-house, where they breathe
pure air at night and are not over
crowded, Is necessary for them; also
some kind of shed or shelter where
they can shelter on wet days. Fowls
hate wet and wind and should always
be provided with protection from
them; but they do not always get it.
A great many are out in wire runs in
exposed fields at the winter with NO
shelter but an inadequate sleeping
house. Such birds catch colds, which
often turn to roup, and very few win.
ter eggs are produced by them. 1t is
al! very well to have high standard
of egg laying to aim at, but to say
that fowls ought to produce 1870 eggs
each in year Is nonsense; when kept
in lots of 40 or so the owner will be
very lucky IL he gets 40; and this is
reckoning on number Of them lay
ing from October and through the
winter. Between what they ought tc
do. according to some writer's. and
what they really do there is wide
gulf, but 1t might be lessened If more
care in selecting the birds and hous
ing them were practiced.

corset" It is said that the bones of
this corset have been put in their
places by an eminent psychologist,
and as they carry no patent they
doubtless will be generally tried; but,
in Paris, even stout women are recon-
mended to risk the second model, also
designed "for very plump ladies with
heavy hips"
This true grace corset (No. ~ is
low in the bust and so high In the
hips behind, as to be scarcely more
than a corset belt. A figaro" sus-
tains the bust. This corset has very
few bones, placed far apart. 1t ex-
tends rather low over the abdomen,
but is cut away from the hips SO high
as to afford any undulating grace you
may ask for.
The most remarkable model (No. 81
is that adopted by the earnest girls
of our French garden. Made of very
stout jersey tissue, with single bone
on each side and a flexible steel
'busc" in front, it permits movements
that are grace's own ideal. This is
the all-but-boneless corset that has
caught ON in Paris.

Good to Know.

That hens will not lay II compelled
to roost outdoors or, worse still, in
damp and filthy houses, and that they
must have good, wholesome food at
regular hours, with fresh water and
grit at all times.
That some kind of animal food is
necessary for laying hens. If you can
not have ground green bone give bone
meal or the refuse of slaughter
houses. such as the nvers, kidneys,
blood, etc.
That roosting on high perches will
cause the fowls to have humble foot
and that they are often permanently
injured while being thus disabled.
That all good hens have already be-
gun to lay, and that those which show
no disposition to begin should be sent
to the market at once.

Adult Education.

Did you ever think of the possibi-
lities of the everyday education, the
education which we can all pick up
in all sorts of places and from all
sorts of people?
Some men and women seem to
drink in knowledge through their
very pores. They absorb it every
where. They are always studying
people, reading human nature, inn
bibing knowledge from every source.
Everybody they meet must contrib
ute something to their store.
We often see these people who
have never been to college, and have
had very little regular schooling,
and yet are wonderfully we'll posted.
They are able to converse well upon
all sorts of subjects because they
go through the world with their eyes
open, their ears open, their minds
open, their perceptions alert. Their
lives are enriched by this constant
alertness and the absorptive power
of all the mental faculties.
How few people appreciate the
wonderful opportunities of everyday
life for storing up wisdom that is
priceless!
Among the greatest needs of this
country to-day are writer's and speak
ers who can show the possibilities of
adult education. There is a very
general conviction that if one does
not get his education during the few
impressionable years of his youth,
the opportunity is gone forever.
Nothing is more false.
This impression is due in large
measure to over-emphasis of the i'm
portance of mere ability to commit
to memory. But this is not so essen
tial in acquiring an education as the
ability to observe, to think, to gen.
eralize; the power to grasp ideas
with vigor; to analyze them.
While it is of the utmost import
ance to get the grounding of ones
education early in life, and before
one settles down to his life-work, yet
there are some advantages, if one
only has grit, determination, and ap-
plication, in getting an education
when the mind is more mature.

Remedy for Squash Ruas.

Here is a remedy for squash bugs
and striped beetles that get after the
cucumber and squash vines which in
my 15 years. experience has never
failed. Every time you hoe your
plants take handful of the strong.
est phosphate you can get, and scat
ter it round the vines or hill, but not
on the leaves, nor too near the plant.
The smell will cause the bugs to
leave, and when the smell of the fer
tilizer is gone, apply more, after the
old has been worked into the soil
around the plant. By following this
method you not only keep away the
bugs, but greatly aid in the growth
Of your plants. If your phosphate is
strong and applied around and not on
the plants, you can rest assured the
method will bring satisfactory re-
suits.

This jolly scramble game was the
result of an inspiration to entertain
a company of young boys and girls
who arrived Unexpectedly and for
an occasion for which nothing else
seemed to offer.
An equal quantity of pins in
black and white-a couple of hun
dred in each color-were stuck
around the living room, wherever
they could be inserted. They were
placed in the couch and chairs, cur
tains, sofa pillows, carpets, always
head side up, of course, to avoid
pricking of fingers.
One-half the company was detail
ed to collect the black pins, one-half
the white and two "timekeepers''
were appointed. Each of the time
keepers held large pincushion and
both stood together.
The timekeepers were older per-
sons, members of the family who did
not enter into competition for the
prize.
At given signal the players broke
ranks and darted away in all direc-
tioGs in search of pins. Each play
er, of course, confined him or her.
self to the color appointed and one
of the timekeepers received only
white pins, the other black.
1t added to the hilarity of the oc-
casion that each pin when found had
to be brought to the tiemkeeper and
inserted in the cusion ere another
one could be searched for. Players
were not allowed to collect a num-
ber before depositing. This kept
the company scampering to and fro
and the room in a gale of fun.
When by common consent it was
agreed that no more pins remained
to be searched for and no one wish
ed to hunt further, the pins in each
cushion were counted. Members of
the side which proved to have COL
lected most drew for the prizes,
which took the form of pretty pin
cushions for the pocket or bureau.
The boobies were papers of pins.
If the entertainer wishes to limit
the time which the search is to oc-
cupy, she can discontinue it by a
signal in the same way that it be-
gan.

100000 WITH HOOK-WORM.
Government to Try to Get Rid Of
This Disease.

This Disease.
Government health experts are
unanimous in expressions of gratifi-
cation because of John d. Rookie
feller's magnificent gift of million
dollars to fight the "hook-worm"
disease.
Surgeon-General Wyman, of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, said:
81 am very glad to learn that an
effort is now to be made to eradicate
this disease, which, 1t is conserva-
lively estimated, infects at least g.
100000 of our people, principally
in the south. 1t is evident from the
correspondence which passed between
Mr.. Rockefeller and the Commission
to which he has entrusted the fund
that they contemplate campaign
of education. think this will be
of great value If they work in har-
mony with the State and local au-
thorities, which have no doubt they
will.
This service has devoted a great
deal of study and attention to the
prevalence of the disease in the
South, and 1t was through one of
our officers, DR.. Charles Wardell
Stiles. that attention was first d.
rected to 1t. He made a very full
report upon It which was published

Every Sale an Advertisement,

Many a business man does not
realize that in some way every sale
he makes is an advertisement that
is going to help or hinder his busi-
ness. 1t is an advertisement of the
policy of his firm. 1t advertises the
attitude of his employees, whether
accommodating or Indifferent, polite
or boorish. 1t advertises the homes
ty or dishonesty of the whole con-
cern.
l have heard men boast of a good
sale when they have taken advant-
age of customer. They congratu-
lated themselves on having obtain
ed more than the regular price for
an article sold to a customer whom
they had found to be an "easy
mark" He did not try to beat them
down, but simply paid the price ask
ed, and said nothing.
Business chickens come home to
roost, and dishonest policy of this
kind will ultimately ruin a firm.
1t is only question of time; for
every dishonest trick, every misrep-
resentation, every mean transaction
is boomerang which comes back
to wound the thrower.
Quality is the best salesman in the
world. The article that is little
better than others of the same kind,
that is the best, even if the price is
higher, carries in its first sale the
possibility of many sales, because it
makes satisfied customer, and only
a satisfied customer will come
again."
Like good things to eat, superb
quality always leaves a good taste in
the mouth, and we go again to the
firm that gives us the best thing of
it's kind that can be obtained.
The house which has built up it's
business on quality does not need
to do SO much advertising as inferior
concerns, for every sale it makes is
an advertisement, and every pleased
customer becomes an unpaid drum
mer for the house. After we have
once worn or used or enjoyed the
best, we do not like the second best.
We may be forced by circumstances
to get it, but we do not like it.

Burn Sulphur.

There is no better way to purify
the air Of the poultry-house during
hot weather than by burning sulphur.
1t is usually better done during the
afternoon, when the hens are nc
longer using the nests, and there is
no danger Of suffocating any of them.
Place few tablespoonfuls of sui
phur in an old pot or pan on the
ground and set 1t on fire; close all the
doors and windows, and let the fumes
penetrate every crack and crevice.
Sulphur, kerosene and lime are the
three most essential things to consid-
er in keeping the surroundings in a
healthy condition, and If they are
persistently applied there will be but
little chance for disease to get a
start.

Men Who Balk Under Heavy Loads

This morning l saw pair of
horses which had evidently become
discouraged by being hitched to
loads that were too heavy for them.
At the start they did their best to go
forward; when the driver struck
them with his whip they made an
effort to pull; but one could see that
their spirit had been broken; the
long struggle with unequal burdens
had caused them to lose their conf
dence and their grip, and after
awhile they ceased to make any ef-
fort to move.
l have often seen other horses
loaded beyond their strength; but
no matter how heavy their load, they
would pull again and again with all
their might, stretching to the utmost
every muscle, nerve, and fiber in
them; and, although they could not
start the load, they would never give
up trying.
Everywhere in life we find people
like those horses. Some have be-
come discouraged by trying to carry
too heavy a load, and finally give up
the struggle. They squirt little
now and again, but there is no
heart, no spirit in their effort. The
buoyancy' and cheer and enthusiasm
have gone out of their lives. They
have been tugging away over heavy
loads so long that they have become
disheartened. There is no more
fight in them.
There are others who, no matter
how heavy their load, will never
cease in their efforts to go forward.
They will try thousand times with
all their might and main; they will
tug away until completely exhaust
ed; they will gather their strength
and try again and again without los
ing heart or courage. Nothing will
daunt them, or induce them to give
up the struggle. When everybody
else lets go, they stick because they
are made of winning material, the
mettle which never gives up.

Knockout Blow For Foolish Custom.

Hazing will receive a severe check
in the dismissal of the cadets con-
victed of hazing Cadet Sutton. The
punishment of ruined careers is a
hard blow for the folly in which the
young men INDUCED, but they had
the choice, with open eyes, between
folly and career, and If they chose
the former they must, If the service

ard of discipline, take the conse-
quences. A young man thinks it of
Importance that "cocky" newcomers
should have ''the nonsense taken out

experience show that it is far more
important that the first lesson a

American. If the two standards con-
flict, not even the most ardent ex-
cusers of youthful folly will con-
tend that that of military obedience
must go. If 1t is understood that
