Don't keep old hens and then knock

Don't use stationary feed bins for

THE COUNTRY ICEHoUSE.

An Important Adjunct to the Up to
Date Farm.
BY PROFESSOR OSCAR ERF, Ohio Ag-
ricultural college.
In this age Of advanced farming the
icehouse is an important adjunct. The
most economical building Is the one
so constructed that 1t will preserve
the greatest amount Of ice In proper
ton to the amount of ice stored. Waste
in an icehouse is largely caused by
meltage from the top, sides and bot
tom. In properly constructed ice
house and when the ice is properly
packed and cared for no waste should
take place from the inside Of the pile
Of ice. The melting from the sides,
bottom and top is caused by insult
cient insulation.
To insulate to such an extent that
no meltage would take place would
be impracticable, but with thorough

THE GRANGE NAME.
An influential Factor in Business
and Legislation.

National Master eaehelder's Warning
70 Those Who Would Benefit by the
Grange Name In Enterprises Outside
the Grange.
In his department In the National
Grange Organ in a recent number Ma
tonal Master Bachelor remarks that
as the grange is fast becoming an in
nuential factor in social, educational
lative affairs, both state and national,
the fair name Of our organization must
be protected. There is and will con-
tinue to be, he says, great effort made
by people with wares to sell and leg
islative matters to promote to in some
way use the word grange in the name
adopted to designate their business or
scheme in order to deceive the people
and draw support to the enterprises
by causing them to be known as
grange enterprises. There is absolute
ly no justification for this unless the
grange or some committee appointed
by the grange has absolute authority
in the management.
To be more specific, we may say
that an agricultural fair should not be
known as a grange fair unless its man
agement is in the hands of the grange
or has been specifically Endorsed by
the grange having jurisdiction. A
store should not be known as grange
store unless conducted by the grange
or giving special rates to members Of
the grange through grange authority.
a paper has no real authority for the
use of the word grange in its title un-
less its policy is directed by the or
ganiEation, but grange departments In
papers designed for other fields do not
come within this restriction, for they
simply contain grange news and do
not carry any policy or responsibility
Of the grange. The use of the word
grange in the title of banks without a
controlling interest in such banks be-
ing in the hands of directors chosen
by the grange, whereby special priv
neges would be secured to members
of the grange, Is an unauthorized and
improper use of the fair name of the
grange.
Other instances might be cited in
which wrong Impressions are convey
ed and the name Of the grange placed
in great jeopardy by the use Of its
name. In word the name Of our Or
ganization should be restricted by ac-
ton Of the national grange to such
enterprises as at least have their poll
cies dictated and their affairs directed
by members of the grange in some Of
fcial capacity, for any other course in
case of disaster would bring much
odium upon US, even though we have
no opportunity to prevent such disas-
ter. We do not undertake to say that
an agricultural fair, store, paper or
bank using the name grange in its
title should necessarily be financed by
the organization, but we do most en-
phaHcally assert that the use Of the
name carries with it or should carry
with 1t the authority to dictate the pol
Icy and direct its general management

The Mirrors.

When winter donned her diamond crown
One frosty morning bright
And put her ermine mantle on
OF soft and fleecy white
She swept a frozen tear or two
And sighed, "If 1 could see
My beautiful reflection, 10,
How happy 1 would be!''
The north wind heard her wailing words
And roared, "Cheer up, my lass,
And you shall soon behold yourself
In many q looking glass"
He breathed upon the ponds and pools.
The rivers and the brooks.
And winter finds a mirror now
whichever way she looks.

Now, we believe there is u laying

We have studied some Of our best
layers in Leghorns and Wyandottes
and hereby give you the principles we
use in selecting layers and breeders.
They will improve your flock and save
you killing your layers for dinner, but
in this, as in everything else, you will
find exceptions.
A prime layer must have a we'll de-
veloped, roomy body, so that the or

may properly perform their functions.
She must breathe well, eat well.
digest we'll. assimilate well, scratch
we'll, be well and have big bunch
of embryo eggs to lay well.
A hen with rafting, rustling breath
is useless.
A typical layer is plump; she is mus
cular; all her cavities are covered
with meat.
She has simply fat for fuel and
weighs heavier for her size than the
drone whose feed produces a COB Of
fat at the end of her breastbone.
That drone lays the eggs in spring
that hatch the drone pullets.
Follow this table of points for selec-
ton:
Head. medium size; eye, bright, full,
open; comb and wattles, medium size,
clear color: neck, medium length,
stocky. well arched; back medium
length. broad at shoulders; nice cush-
ion; tail, medium size, angular; fluff,
good size; body, medium length and
depth, with medium underline and
good keel; breast, broad, round, full;
legs, stout. short between feet and
shanks; feet, set square ond wide
apart.
Hens of this style fed a proper
variety of food will keep you busy
| hauling eggs to market.
| Mated to Il male of egg laying strain
such hens will furnish fertile eggs to
hatch pullets that will smash your

as to the name under which the young
Australian was to make her debut,
Nellie Mitchell. her maiden name, or
Mrs. Armstrong, her married appella-

"Why not pay compliment to your

yourself after It? Melba would make
