RAISE MORE MARKET POULTRY
Beginner Is Advised to Join Utility
Ranks and Breed Chickens for
Eggs and Meat.
(By MICHAEL K. BOYER)

It has been asked, will the fancier
eventually be driven to the wall by
the progress made in growing market
poultry? Certainly not. We need
fanciers-real fanciers. We want men
to create breeds and to perfect the old
ones. But the Spectator and buck
ster Is fast seeing his finish.
The man with a string of breeds Is
not a ~fancier. He is a Spectator. 1t
would be next to impossible for him
to give each OF these breeds his best
attention. To thoroughly know a
breed, and to get out Of it all hat Is
good in 1t would require an ordinary
life time.
Amateur fanciers will often buy
culls from a breed we'll advertised and
then advertise eggs for Matching from
so and SOS strain. The man Is q
worse enemy OF the fancier than the
man who breeds dunghill fowls.
A wonderful interest has sprung up
In poultry matters. Large sums Of
money are being invested, and poul-
try farms by the score are started.
These new farms are on the lookout
for utility stock. The man who can
advertise big egg records generally
gets the trade. They want ~carcasses
and egg records-business poultry. So
the best advice to the beginner is to
Join the utility ranks and raise poul-
try and eggs for market. Then, in
after years, he can, II he feels so in
clined, gradually creep up into the fan.

VENTILATION NECESSARY
TO PERFECT HEALTH.
Many Families Keep Their Living
Rooms Too Hot to Which Many
Colds May BE Attributed.

A problem which is worthy of
consideration, especially at this time
OF the year, when we merge from
one season to another, is the prop
er temperature of our living rooms,
according to the Doylestown Intel
ligencer.
One of the first criticisms a for
eigner makes when he visits this
country for the first time, is the
habit we have of overheating our
homes.
The habit is a bad one, and is not
only costly, but unhealthy. Rooms
in which the thermometer runs up
much over seventy degrees are en-
ervating TO the system, and when
one is not strong any passing germ
has good fighting chance. A wom-
an accustomed to spending part of
her time in the kitchen, where of
necessity there is much heat, finds
the other rooms cold, or at least
chilly. This they are only by COM
prison, but the woman will not be-
lieve it.
Who has not visited in homes
where the temperature of the living
room is nearly eighty degrees and
yet where the housewife constantly
Keeps wrap on and still complains
of the cold.
Seventy degrees is warm enough
for health, and if one can stand it,
even a lower temperature is better.
Colds that come at this time of
year are due Just as much to over
heated houses as to other exposure.
If mothers would understand this,
If they would keep their children
clean and free from indigestion, and
poorly ventilated rooms, there
would be far fewer colds.
Let every bedroom have a thor
ough airing each day. If more
than one person sleeps in a room,
special attention should be given to
the ventilation.
Use as many warm, lightweight
blankets as you need at night, but
be sure to have quantities of fresh
air. This does not mean that one
should sleep in a draft or that the
air should blow directly on one.
Neglect of bathing is one of the
first causes of cold. Keep children
from playing in chilly, unused
rooms, too, but let them be properly
wrapped up and play out-of-doors
as much as possible. Special atten-
tion should be given to their feet,
which should be kept warm and
dry. Good fiannels and rubbers will
often save doctors bills.
A little care on the part of the
housewife, when once she grasps the
Importance of these few details, will
help correct the bad habits which
may thus be changed into the most
helpful ways by which the entire
household may be benefited.

Forgets that a grudge he owes Jack
And smiles at him pleasantly still.
He always forgets tits his turn
To choose what the others shall

Forgets about others to learn

He forgets to look sulky and cross
When things are not going his

Forgets some ones gain is his loss,
Forgets in his work time his play.
