A great many people seem to pride
themselves on being well bathed indi-
viduals on the ground that every
morning they jump for q short mo-
menl into a tub of cold water. AS
a matter Of fact it is quite possible to
perform this feat for three hundred
and sixty-five days in the year, and
yet to miss entirely the real purpose.
Of the daily bath.
The cold plunge or shower is excel
lent in It's way for those to whom it
is suited, that is, for the young and
the vigorous. who react perfectly. For
these 1t is invigorating and stimulat-
ing. AS cleansing process it is
hardly enough, because getting clean
does not mean merely letting water
pass over the surface of the body.
To be really clean one must make
sure that the millions OF tiny pores,
by means Of which the skin does its
work for the physical economy, are.
kept cleared of waste products and in.
good working condition.
The skin is one of the most impor--
tant of the scavengers of the system,
but one cannot expect it to do it's
work properly II its myriads of tiny
holes through which 1t gives off waste
matter are blocked.
This waste matter is largely given
off in the perspiration, which is COM
ing through 1t all the time, whether
sensibly or insensibly. If this per-
spiration is checked, the waste prod
ucls are driven into the system, with
the result that the other organs of
elimination, the kidneys or the bow.
els. are asked to do double duty, and
double duty is not demanded of any
organ long without bill having to be
paid somehow, some time.
To keep the skin in perfect working
condition an occasional bath that real
ly washes 1t Is called for. This bath
should take the form of plenty of
warm water, some good mild soap. A
small brush, and above all a good
rough towel, for the final rub is really
more important than the soap and wa
ter wash.
The skin is renewing itself all the
time, with the result that 1t is always
I giving off minute scales, and it is
these which largely serve to block the
pores. Anyone can stand in a good
, light with clean, dry nail brush and
) prove this. Us the brush vigorously
3 anywhere on the skin and observe the
minute dry particles that will fly off.
1t stands to reason that a swift
Q plunge into cold water and a gingerly
dab with a smooth towel are no,
| enough to properly remove these
, scales. In fact, If one were so placed
J that 1t was temporarily impossible to
get bath, the skin could be kent
in condition by vigorous dry rubbing
80 far as all the purposes of health
demanded.-Youlh's Companion.

Is the tyranny of the microbe to be
broken? For good many years
scientists and pseudo-scientists have
been busy throwing scares into the
community by descanting upon the
dangers that lurk everywhere from
these microscopic organisms. People
have been warned not to do this and
that, lest the bacteria lying in wait
invade some of their tissues or Wis
cera and set up dangerous or fatal
disease conditions. Even kissing has
been placed under the ban by some
doctors. They have said that bacilli
so small that, like some of the alleged
devils of the Inferno, a million OF
them can dane upon the point OF a
needle, may be transferred by the
meeting Of the lips. Thus, If one oi
the kissers happened to be diseased
the healthy one would become inocu
lated-or, ii both happened TO De a
little of the condition Of perfect
health, the mingling of the atoms
might produce baleful consequences
But now we are assured by an emf
nent Boston physician, professor o.
Harvard Medical School, that kissing
is perfectly safe pastime so far az
bacteria are concerned-that the only
possible danger in kissing is from
heart trouble. It Is safe to say tha
the whole population that has not out

CRATE TO FATTEN POULTRY
Some Farmers Follow That Method
for Quick Pfedta-Some tx
celleut Formulas.

Crate f%atteniug of fowls Is followed
by some for quick profit. by keeping
the chickens in confinement they do
not form sinew and muscle as they
do when allowed to run ut LARGE.
Some coops are divided into partitions
or stalls, each Of which will hold two
or three young chicks or ono full
grown fowl. They should be fed three
times a day all they Will eat in 10
or 20 minutes. Here are some formu-
las for fattening poultry in crates:
Equal parts of bran. corn meal and
oat meal II rolled breakfast oats,
mixed with skinned milk, fed three
times a day.
Buckwheat flour, %pulverized oats
and cornmeal. in equal parts. mixed
with buttermilk.
Equal parts barley meal and oat
meal and half a part of orr meal,
mixed with buttermilk or skinned
milk.
A favorite French combination is
two parts barley meal, one part corn
meal and one part buckwheat flour.
A little salt and coarse sand should
be added to their food. Three weeks
Is the length of time to continue the
feeding. Chickens do not seem able
to stand the confinement for a greater
length of time. During the last week
of the fattening process five per
cent of cotton seed meal and a little
tallow may be added to any of the
above formulas.
A fattening crate is usually made
6 feet 6 inches long, IS to 20 inches
high and 16 inches wide. 1t is di-
vided into three compartments, each
holding four to five birds, according
to the size of the chickens. 1t is
made of Stats. except the ends and
partitions between the compartments,
which are of solid wood. The Stats
on the top, bottom and back run
%lengthwise of the coop, while those
on the front run up and down. They
are usually IL inches wide and "a
inch thick. Those in front are placed

n TO pnt their neaas through for
feeding. The Stats on the bottom are
placed about q of an inch apart so
as to permit the droppings To pass
through to the ground. Care should
be taken not to have the first bottom
slat at the back fit closely against the
back. An opening at this point pre-
vents the droppings collecting and de-
composing. The Stats on the top and
back are usually . inches apart. There
Is a small V.shaned trough arranged
in front of the coop for feeding and
watering the chickens. The trough
Is 9 to 3 inches deep and is generally
made of A-inch lumber.
Very fair eoons are made from old
packing boxes, by taking off the front
and bottom and substituting Stats in
their places. as shown in the illus
tration. When fattening chickens in
side of n building 1t Is well to darken
the building and keep the birds as
quiet rs possible.

WEAN PIGS AT PROPER TIME
Much Depends Upon Their Thrift,
Season OF Year, Accommodation

May, as | like to raise fall filters

plenty of grass for each SOW. If they
are thus divided, and any of the pigs
get out of order, you at once know
what litter 1t is, and feed accordingly.
Watch the little pigs closely and
if they look thin and hungry see that
their mother is better fed and swilled.

Don't gorge them one day and starve
them the next.
Don't fail to divide the buttermilk
between biddy and the pigs. She rel
ishes It as much as they.
Remember the hen when laying
needs about twice as much food ms
she would when not laying.
Eggs tested as infertile from the in
cubator may be hard boiled and fed
to chicks. They are not spoiled.
Too many hens with one rooster
means more infertile eggs. Keep
plenty of ROSTERS and produce hatch
able eggs.
To break broody hens from wanting
to sit, shut them up in a coop where
they can only roost on an elevated OBJ
ject and feed lightly for a few days.
Chicks cannot grow and keep
healthy unless they take proper ex-
ercise and lots of it. Bury millet
seed in litter and let them work for it.
Many are raising pure bred poul-
try and others are starting. This Is
what we call good CHECKER sense. We
have advocated this for a long time.
One of the best ways to disinfeet a
brooder is TO open it wide. take out
the hover and let the midday sun
shine on both for a couple of hours.
Give the turkey hen a feed of grain
at night. If fed heavily in the morn
ing she will not range sc far with the
youngsters as if she starts Out to find

Greens belong naturally in the
chicken feed list. In the wild state
fowls live on vegetable matter, wild
seeds and insects. In captivity they
require the same things.

feet the nest box and give it a coat Of
