STEP SAVER FOR THE KITCHEN

A device that will save the dozen
and one daily trips from kitchen to
cellar, and drive the ice-man from the
door seems too good to be true. "Yet
it is so simple and inexpensive that
it is within reach of any housewife -
says Miss Ula Dow, assistant pro-
fessor of domestic science in the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
1t is simply small elevator two
feet square with several shelves one
foot apart on which to set food, all
lowered by pu1leys from the kitchen
into a cement shaft in the cellar This
shaft is slightly larger than the eleya-
tor itself, so that the elevator will
run easily, and extends four feet be-
low the surface of the cellar floor,
making a cold storage compartment.
There should be a small ventilation
pipe for the shaft and a door opening
into the shaft from the cellar, so that
it may be cleaned. The puIly ropes
should be slightly shorter than the
shaft, and the weights heavy enough

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago 1 had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it "dry
eczema" I used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, I felt anxious
to try to head it off. 1 got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what needed.
''The disease was making great
Roadway on my system until 1 got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of its pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. I always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and 1 hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

ers, Mich, Mar. 16, 1911. Although

anced ration provides the birds with
the necessary food elements SO that
she does not need TO hunt for food
for the production of eggs. Now if we
feed corn chop alone, would the eggs
be as rich as those produced by the
birds that have been furnished with a
ration that contains all the necessary
food elements? The egg, We all know,
is layed by the hen so that she can
Reproduce herself, and the egg being
the first stage of life, always contains

this so? The chick requires a certain

| feeding a good balance ration, one
| that would furnish the hen with all
| the necessary elements that are need
! ed for the production of large num-
Der of eggs. To obtain the desired
! balance ration we must necessarily
| feed a variety of foods, and these
should be mixed. The old practice
| of feeding chop or bran alone will
not induce the hen to lay an egg every
| third day. We must tempt the hen
by feeding her a variation of foods
| from time to time, feeding green
| foods, green cut bone, and perhaps a
moist mash once or twice a week.
| Besides this the hens should always
have before them grit, oyster she'll,
charcoal and graduated bone. It
does not matter so much how the
ration is fed, it may be dry or wet,
but it is important that the birds get
all they want, and that great care is
exercised in regard to over and under
feeding.
In breeding poultry always select
the strongest, healthiest, best look
ing specimens, and do not change
male birds every year, with the idea
Of getting something better. Be
cause if your flock has been bred for
egg production, and if you introduce
new blood into your flock it may be
that the production and vitality is de-
creased instead of increased. 1t may
be we'll, however, to obtain new blood
once in while, but always Gull your
own flock first, and breed only the
strong, healthy, as well as good pro-
ducers, and the production will natur-
ally increase.
The next important step toward a
larger egg production and larger
eggs is housing. We might have
long discussion as to what kind of
a house is best for poultry, and yet
not agree. One thing we all agree
on, however, is that the house must
be free from dampness and draft, and
must be sanitary. If we are to in
crease the egg production and the
size of the eggs we must not let the
birds roOst around the sheds, barn
and manure cellars Of the farm.
Provide a house for the poultry, and
make this tight and free from damp
ness. We do not need a warm house,
single thickness board wall is enough,
and then keep the house. clean. The
house must be equipped with nests,
one nest for each five hens, and pre-
vent the hens from laying around in
the barn, as the eggs should be
gathered every day. The nests in
the poultry house should be clean.
The balance ration, the comfortable
houses, together with good care, has
induced our hens to lay an average
of one-hundred eggs per year But
are all these one-hundred eggs of a
marketa BILE size? 1 believe that the
reader will say no. Some are small,
some are large, some soft shelled and

"Grace Darling" Of America-The
Only Woman to Hold z Commits
sion From the Government
in Her Work.

New York.-In the closing OF the
career of Ida NJ. Lewis, for so years
keeper Of the Lime Rock Light in
Narragansett bay, one of the most
famous heroines OF the world passes
from the stage OF American history
Since early girIhOod she watched the
tumbling waters Of the Narragansett
from her little white house on the
rock and through the long years her
lights never failed to guide mariners
to a safe port through storms and
heavy mists.
Sixty years ago. when but a strip

of Lime Rock Light. was stricken
suddenly ill She took his place and
for weeks, while the old man lay
dying, she tended the lights. When
he died she was appointed keeper in
his place and since that time her
deeds have Kept her before the world
in remarkable way. Her record or
rescues is IS lives Eight times she
has ventured onto an almost impos-
sible sea and taken struggling humans
from the water.
The rescue that made Ida Lewis
the most famous heroine Of America
occurred on a stormy morning in
March of 1869. 1t was hardly dawn
and Ida's mother was the first TO
awaken From her window she saw
two men. out in the raging sea, cling
ing to a boat that had turned turtle.

who stopped not for shoes nor hat
but, clad only in a thin dress, dashed
out Of the house into the cold, driving
wind and faced the snow and sleet
1t took Ida fifteen minutes to launch
her dory in the dangerously high
surf. At last she pushed beyond the
inshore breakers; and then she rowed
for dear life. When the nearly ex-
hausted men saw Ida one Of them
cried: It's only girIi" Whereupon
he let go his hold of the capsized boat
and sank. a moment later, when he
reappeaTed, she seized him by the
hair and with abnormal strength
dragged him into the boat. The sec
ond man shouted that he was so
frozen that he could not help him
self and so a second time Ida pulled
a half dead man out Of the freezing
water and into her little dory.
For all of her wonderful rescues
Ida Lewis received fitting recognition.
Congress honored her with medals.
She was a pensioned member OF the
Carnegie Hero Fund and the Massa-
chusetts Humane society rewarded
her with a token of its esteem.
For years the home of Ida Lewis
on Lime Rock was the Mecca of the
worlds greatest men and women
They felt themselves honored to be
able to call on her. President Grant
and General Sherman were among
her most noted visitors

! duction, she must naturally delay lay
| ing the egg until she is able to put
| the needed materials into the egg.
| Therefore, a hen that is fed a ration
! or a food that is not balanced will
not be able to produce as many eggs
| during the year as a hen that is fed
a balanced ration. The different
foods do not affect the size or quality
of the eggs. A hen that is fed spar
ingly will most always lay just as
large an egg as if she is fed an abun-
| dance of rich balanced ration. In the
latter case she will lay more eggs,
while a hen which is under-fed will
lay less number, and may stop lay
ing entirely. Some foods, like onions,
fish, etc, do affect the taste of the
egg and therefore should never be
fed. Wheat, oats and buckwheat will
give a light color to the yolk and
flesh, while dent corn coIors the yoIk
the desired orange color Thus we
can feed the henfoods that may affect
the color of the product
1t is we'll known that the different
breeds lay different shaped and differ
ent colored eggs. The difference in
shape among the different breeds is
not so marked as the variation in
shape of the eggs of birds from the
same breed. The different varieties
of Plymouth Rocks all lay a large
dark brown, oval shaped egg with
neither end very much pointed. Some
hens of this breed will lay a nearly
round
egg, and some an egg which is round
on one side and fat on the other, and
so on. The eggs from one certain
hen do not vary much in size and
shape. A hen that lays regularly will
lay eggs of approximately the same
size and shape from day to day, but
the eggs will decrease in size if the
hen lays continually without rest.
Just after a rest of a day or two the
hen will continue to lay eggs of maxi
mum size, which gradually get small
er. Even if the size is decreased, the
shape of the egg usually does not
vary much, but this depends upon the
individual and breed. For example,
the eggs of the Wyandotte will usual
" vary more in size and shape than
the eggs of the White Leghorn. In
fact, most every one who owns a flock
of birds can, from day to day, tell
which hens have laid certain eggs,
and the hens who lay irregular shap-
ed eggs will not be as popular as the
ones that lay eggs of more uniform
color and shape, because eggs must
be of uniform color, shape and size
-
regular shaped eggs from certain
breeds and varieties has a great deal
to do with the desirabiIity of same
as commercial breed. The Leg
horn is perhaps one of the few breeds,
of poultry that has been bred for egg
production, as well as size and shape
of the egg and, consequently, have be-
come the most popular egg breed.

q CCORDING to the census of 1910
"A there is an average of ninety
one hens on every farm in
Kansas. 1t has been esti-
mated that the average production
per hen per year amounts to eighty
two eggs; this would equal to 1852
eggs (61134 doz.) produced on almost
every farm in Kansas. The value of
these eggs, 621% dozen at ten cents
dozen, would equal to s6217 cash in

eight cents a hen for one year.
The question, therefore, would
naturally arise as to how can the egg
production be increased so that the

more, instead of eighty-two a year.

be to correct the feeding ration, by
