Give geese a good pasture and pond
and they will take care of themselves
with little feeding.
Provide convenient nests and keep
them clean. Soiled eggs usually find
an unsatisfactory market.
Hens that lay soft sheled eggs may
be helped by little more vegetables
or green food and oyster shell.
Young ducks should be ready for

profit in feeding them after that.
Never change to a new breed simply
because extravagant claims are given.
1t is better to try to improve the old
ones.
Do not forget that the hens will need
plenty of grit to help grind up the
food. If plenty of grit is not avail
able provide it for them.

one of his arms toward the sea urchin.

The pincers remained imbeddcd in
the flesh of the starfiSh. Finding his
chief weapon gone. the urchin drove
all his needles into the back of the
starfish, not all together, but one after
another, with all the method OF calcu-
lated action. As the needles entered
the back of the startish the startish
broke them. one by one. The urchin,
rendered pOwerlesS by the loss of his
needles, made few mechanical move

''I think the Cuticura remedies are the best remedies for eczema I have ever heard of My mother had a child who had rash on it's head when 1t was real young Doctor called it baby rash. He gave us medicine, but it did no good. In few days the head was solid mass, running sore. It was awful; the child cried continually. We had to hold him and watch him to keep him from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful At last we remembered Cuticura Remedies. We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re- solvent, box of Cuticura Ointment, and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap- piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had a beau tiful head of hair. I think the Cuti- cura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1910.

Edith, who is eight years old, was invited to children's party. Her blonde hair was perfectly straight, but becomingly arranged, and she started off in high feather.
 But on her return she was rather silent, and, on being questioned as to her experience, said:
 q had a nice time, but it would have been nicer if my hair was kinky. All the other girls hair was kinky, snd I shan't go to another party un- less my hair Is fixed in kinks"
 So the next week, when another isvitation came for the little girl her hair was curled and fuffed out in the most approved style.
 Then her mother led her to a mir ror, and said: There, Edith, what do you thing of it?"
 Edith regarded herself soberly for moment, and then, turning slowly around. she said: Its vain, but I like it."
