HOW TO HAVE WINTER EGGS.
Make Hens Comfortable and Keep
Chicken House Clean.

One great essential in getting winter
eggs is to make the hens entirely COM
Portable The first thing to do is To get
busy now and clean out the house thur-
oughly. Remove every useless article
and leave the floors entirely free from
anything that will obstruct their free
use as a scratching place. Clean Gown
the walls. spray thoroughly. remove
every bit of litter from the floor. and
if it is Il dirt floor take out at least a
couple of inches of the old dirt. which
should be replaced with clean lo1m.
Make ready Il corner III each pen
that can be used as il busting hoX.
This can be kept supplied with the
fine siftings from hard coal ashes and
will be much enjoyed by the whole
flock. If il can be placed where the
sun will shine on it so much the better.
Do not close the windows until the
weather gets real cold Let there b.
one glass window for each pen of 10
by T. or 16 feet and one muslin GOV
cred frame, with at least twelve
square feet of surface for each pen.

lion. but it will be found the muslin
does not make the pen any colder than
does the same amount of glass surface
and at the same time gives Il steady
supply of fresh air. This muslin will
help greatly in keeping the poultry
house dry during the winter and Will
make it much more comfortable than
closely shut up house can ever be.
For colder nights have curtain of
cheap sheetng running across the
front of the roosting place. This does
not need to fit tightly except at the
top and may hang out some inches
from tho dropping boards, giving plen
ty of room for The fowls to pass TO
and from the rooStS. On the very
coolest of nights the roasting place
will be found to be entirely comfort
able, and in the morning the hens Will
come out ready to scratch and hustle
for their breakfast.
Above all things. be sure to keep
good six inches of perfectly dry straw
on the floor for scratching material.
There can be little comfort for the hen
in scratching Il pile of dirty, damp lit
ter that has been on the floor for a
month or more

How to Preserve Plaster Casts.

Plaster casts which for any reason
have to be exposed to damp or to out
door weather conditions can be readily
insured against disintegration by the
use of a cheap and simple soapy prep
aration. Dissolve three parts Of caus
tic potash or use three parts of am
mOnia in thirty-siX parts of hot water
To this add nine parts of stearic acid.
Dilute this paste with an equal guam
tity Of hot water containing 25 per cent
alcohol. In the case Of old plaster
casts the surface should be cleansed
with a 3 per cent potash solution be-
fore the preparation is applied. Then
1t should be put on warm and after
ward sponged.

HINTS ON HOUSE FLOWERS.
How to Care For Plants During the
Winter Months.

Keen plants well Watcred. Many per-
sons will pour little water on n plant.
enough TO soak in an inch or two. and
wonder that the plant does not grow.
The trouble is that the growing part Of
the plant receives no nouriShment
Plants should be watered every day
and in such way that the roots get
rich. Care should be taken in placing
flowers near window. Remember the
upper sash is warmer than the lower.
Asparagus ferns and sword ferns are
very good winter plants. They must
be kept moist and be closely watched
for the red spider.
Primroses require much care. They
should be changed from one pot to an
other until in Il pot five or six inches
in diameter. The atmosphere should
be cool. about 80 degrees. They should
be kept well watered.
The umbrella plant, the cycamen,
the geranium. the petunia. all will
thrive in the winter if attention is Civ.
en- them.
Heiotropes need especial attention.
The soil should be rich and the room
warm and the plant kept where it will
get lots of sunshine. The soil should
be kept just on the verge of drying out
and differs from other soils in this re
spect.
Palms need moist heat They are
among the most difficult plants to care
for in the winter. Coal gas often
proves fatal to them. They always
should be kept moist.
Begonias are the best plants for win
ter. Their foliage is beautiful. and the
cOlOring on the leaves is as dainty as
that on the flowers when they bloom.
Good soil and plenty Of water will
make them grow.

A LESSON FROM GERMANY.
Streets Made Subject to Towns
Growth.

A lesson can be taken by any town
from German methods as regards
width of streets In the inner sections
of towns. some of which are many
centuries old. one naturally finds many
narrow streets, but whenever Il new
street is laid out ground of sufficient
width is purchased by the community
to suffice for the next 100 years TAX
ing into account increase of traffic
This seems for the first years like
an extravaganza to purchase more
property than is Immediately needed
but in practice this is not true. for the
street is laid out with width at first
required. as well as the sidewalks.
while the remaining ground is rented
to the house owners to be utilized for
front gardens.
This method is required by law: 9th
erwiSe they the owners could not OBJ
tain the license for building. and by
this method the city administration
receives IA considerable sum for this
apparently waste space. The roads
thus look pretty. and the ground is
aValluble al any time whenever in
crease Of traffic requires widening of
streets In England and other con
servative countries the property is
bought of width sufficient for pres
ent needs, and when. several years
later. the thoroughfare has to be wild
ened additional space must be pur
chased at an excessive cost. as in the
meantime the value of property has
greatly increased

Mining.

The Act Of June %, 1910 provides
for the allowance of agricultural
entries of land which have been with
drawn or classified as coal lands, re-
serving to the United States the coal
therein, and permitting the entryman
to receive a limited patent.
Where entries have been allowed
without notice of such classification
or withdrawal and of the conditions
imposed by the act, the entryman
may, if he so desires. be permitted
to relinquish his entry without pre-
JUDGE to his homestead right. If he
does not signify his election to COM
plete the entry under the terms and
conditions imposed by the act, his
entry will be Cancelled.
The act, however, does not deny
him the right to a hearing with a
view to disaprove such classification
under the regulations in such cases
made and provided.
