PROPER PLACE
FOR CHICKENS
Should Not be A flowed to Roost On
Top of Harness or Buggy
Should Have Good
House.

One of the most important things
In the care of laying hens is the
house that they are to live in. On
most farms 1t used to be that the hen
roasted any old place, and her favor.
lite place was on top of the harness
or buggy. And when they could not
reach their favorite place, they took
to the trees, but can say that the
hens life on the farm has changed.
for now you see nice houses and
yards for them, says writer in the
Successful Farming.
A good poultry house may be de-
fined as one that is dry, warm and
ventilated. and fitted to accommodate
the kind OF fowls that is to be kent.
A stationary house suitable for any
kind Of fowl may be built Of stone or
brick. but the best house Is built OF
lumber made In size suitable for
moving once year at least. Lumber
is cheaper than brick or stone. and
when you find that there is some i'm.
proyement that you could make to the
of the hen and coop, It will
be q good deal cheaper remodeline
the wooden building.
It is impossible to build house
that will answer for all times Of the
year. You will md alterations to
make In spring and fall, 80 when wood
is used ia It's construction 1t can be
built In sections and bolted together.
In warm weather you can use wire
frames "a, IN place Of the board sections.
Give the hens plenty OF room, lots Of
clean straw TO be used as scratching
material. light lice nine days i week,
and zee 4 the hens don't pay their
way. S.;. 81,

Serving Potatoes.

A delicious way Of serving potatoes
is the following: Boil and mash IL
medium sized white potatoes, using
one tablespoonful Of butter instead Of
milk. When they are nearly cold add
the yolks Of three eggs. one teaspoon
full Of grated nutmeg. and six drops of
onion juice. Stir these ingredients to-
gether until they are smooth. Make
up into small cone shaped croquettes
and stand away to harden. When they
are firm roll them in the beaten white
OF the eggs and cracker dust and fry
In deep boiling fat until a light
brown. 81

Modoc Jack

Today Modoc Jac3kis half forgotten.
A generation ago hls Adventures were
everywhere tod Race horses were
named for him. Small boys secretly
longed to go west and capture him.
He was held up as an example Of the
true desperate. Yet, as a matter Of
fact, he was more Of man and less
Of scoundrel than he has been
painted. Ia
The Modocs were an offshoot Of the
klamath nation in California. They
lived on 65-mile strip of volcanic
land known as 'fthe lava BEDS This
ground was honeycombed with caves
and tunnels, affording fine hiding
places In case Of pursuit The word
"Modoc' in the klamath dialect
means enemy" And the Modocs
lived up to their name. They fought
their relatives, the Kfamaths, for
years; then turned their attention in
1850 to making life peril for Califor-
MAS white settlers. Ben Wright, q
frontiersman, hit on plan to crush
them. Pretending to make peace. he
invited 46 Of the foremost Modocs to
a great feast in 1852.

Red Jacket was as wise as he was
cowardly. He foresaw that soon or late
the once powerful Indians would be
crushed under the advance of Progress
and would be utterly driven from the
hunting grounds of their fathers
With all his cunning and ability he
fought to postpone that evil day as

white men and thus sapping their

HOW TO SUCCEED

During the last few years, conditions
in all lines of business, even profess
sional life. have changed so completely
that every man Is waking up to the
fact that in order to win success he
must specialize and learn to do some
one thing and do 1t we'll.
So 1t Is with any article that Is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount of advertising will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched with
much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Blad-
der Remedy. From the very beginning
the proprietors had so much confidence
in it that they invited every one to test
1t, free of cost, before purchasing.
1t Is a physicians prescription.
They have on file thousands of let

are now enjoying good health as re-
