Feather Pulling.

The trouble with your chickens Is
not disease, but a so-called bad hab-
it which is frequently observed in poul-
try yards during the late winter and
early spring, says writer In Balti-
more American in answer to a query.
Many people believe it to be due to
idleness in the flock, and they rec
ommend exercise as the cure. There
is good deal in this, and flocks have
been helped by being obliged to
scratch in straw or leaves for the
greater part of their food, that Is,
their grain food. The cause, however,
is not so much lack Of exercise as
lack of salt in their food. Idle fowls
will pull the feathers from one an
others necks and get q little flavor
Of the salt in the soft part at the base
Of the feather. This taste prompts
continued pulling, and often the fowls
5necks are bare almost their full
length. The remedy is to give abund-
dant opportunity to exercise and feed
a small quantity Of salt in the wet
mash, just enough to season the mix
ture. The habit is rarely observed
when fowls have free range. At least,
it is far less common among them
than among those shut up In city
yards.

The sheer waste In this country is
appalling. Our working men get less
comfort and enjoyment out of given
expenditure than the Workmen OF
France; the same is true of our mid
die classes as a whole; our local au'
thorities middle away money; our I'M
perial concerns are extraVagantly
managed: our manufacturers throw
money into the sewers or into the
atmosphere and destroy more money
In the process. 1t is not the COM
paratiye luxury among US SO much as
the comparative waste that strikes
people who intelligently observe the
ways Of other nations. A very good
defense may be set up for those re-
finements of life which collectively
are termed luxury, says the London
Times. But for waste there is abso-
lutely. no defense possible, and the
real Indictment. against us as ma
ton is that we stupidity fail to obtain
the luxury and the pleasure which our
expenditure might procure.
The Comrade. (Winnfield, La.) 1890-1914, 1910-12-30

A good start is not SO much good II
you don't keep going.
Worry is simply trying to live two
DAYS at a time-one Is enough.
Don't measure your success by the
amount of money you can jingle.
Lying down on ones job Is a
quick way to become open for an
other.
Don't worry about the market; raise
what you eat and eat what you raise.
Sell the surplus.
The successful farmer laughs at OBJ
s.acles because he believes that he IS
superior to them.
Agriculture, manual training and
gardening should be given place In
every rural school course
Isolation, hard work, and small
compensation is too often the lot OF
the farmers wives. These are bur-
dens that need lifting.
Baby pigs squeal for the same rea-
con that human babies do. There is
something the matter with both OF
them, and 1t is your duty, TO find the
trouble and correct 1t.
When you persist in doing two
mems work, you shorten your days,
and enchance the chances Of your chill
dren for step-father.
Just because one has made good
many mistakes is no reason for bis
getting in the habit. The way to sue
cess is to profit by our mistakes.
The farmer that refuses to adopt
successful ideas Is in such an adj
vanced stage Of decomposition that
the undertaken can do nothing for
him.
If some farmers put as much money
into feed for their farm pigs as they
DO to support the blind pigs" in
town their families might have more
to eat and wear better clothes.
There Is always a best way Of do
ing things on the farm, but 1t often
takes study to find 1t. The result is
worth the effort If some one else is
getting better results than you are,
find the reason.

the result that herd of ten cows from

ance among the bovines,, and found
the yard of the mill in an uproar.
The COWS were frisking about, kicking
into the air, and assuming attitudes
that in human being would have
been described as hilarious.

ANEW YORK.-What is, the psychol-
~ osy Of the smuggler? Is he actua-
teo by greed? Does he love the game
for its excitement? Does he look upon
the government as so impersonal
thing that to steal from it is not sin?
Is the rich man instinctively greater
smuggler than the poor man, and Is
the American a greater sinner than his
alien brother?
These questions surely must have
occurred to everyone who has been
watching the extraordinary recent hap
penings at the New York custom
house; who has made note of the mil
!ionajres and their wives who have
been caught red-handed in attempts to
cheat the government In the most bra
zen fashion i who has read Of the tre-
mendous frauds upon the customs per-
petrated by the sugar trust and other
great importers.
Collector Loeb has imbued subordi.

are not paid their salaries to help folk

gers, at least, most of the smuggling
