The poultryman who wants self

to try this simple homemade dev ce
designed by the poultry department
Of Iowa State College. It may be
made Of one inch material and any
odds and ends of board may be used
for its construction. This particular
homer is 20 inches high, IL inches

the bottom. The end boards, as may
be seen, are the same width from
top to bottom. The length may be
whatever desired, from foot to
three or four feet. The hopper OPEN
ing should be q couple Of inches
above the bottom board of the feed
trough. The lid may be made as
shown, or it may be made fiat; made

DlSH.WASHlEG
MADE MORE EASY
Practical Suggestion for the House.
keeper.

By Neale s. Knowles, Extension De-
partment Iowa State College.
Dishwashing need not be an I'M
pleasant task. If you dislike to wash
dishes, try to find better way to
do it. Work is always unpleasant
if it is poorly done.
! want to give you a few sugges-
tons about washing dishes ] want
you to try these suggestions and see
how you like them.
Precautions-While food is cooking
watch it carefully, so it will not stick
to the sides of the dish. Scrape all
cooking dishes thoroughly, leaving no
food sticking to the sides of the dish.
Soak dishes which contain bits of egg
in cold water. Soak all cooking uten-
sils as soon as used. Wipe grease
from any cooking dish with paper,
and burn the paper. Soak greasy
dishes in boiling water and soda as
soon as used. Write black from the
bottom of kettles and stew pans with
paper, and burn the paper.
Have good supply of boiling
water. Have soap, Sapolio or Dutch
Cleaner, ready to use. Have one
good clean dish cloth for the finer
dishes and another for the tins and
other cooking utensils. Have enough
clean wiping towels to make the
dishes thoroughly dry. An iron dish
cloth and rubber plate scraper are
great conveniences. Be sure to have
a large dish pan and good dish
drain or rinsing pan.
Scrape dishes thoroughly. Pile
dishes of Q kind together. Fill the
pan half full Of hot, soapy water. 1t
is best to have the soap in soap
shaker because it saves SOAP. Wash
the glasses first. Rinse them with
clear water and dry them. Wash the
silver next, and rinse and dry it,,
Begin to wash the china. and add
hot water to the dish water frequent
ly. Rinse dishes with clean hot
water before wiping and use a drv
clean wiping cloth. Be sure to change
the dish water IL it becomes greasy ]
After the china is washed use the
other dish cloth for the cooking uten-
sis as it is litsly to become stained.
When all dishes have been washed.
wash the dish cloths thoroughly in
hot, clean water to make them alb
sc,utely clean. Hang them in light
a: Y place to dry.
Points To Be Remembered.
i. Clean dishes can only come
from clean water, a clean dish pan.
and q clean dish cloth.
@ Bits of food which lodge in the
cracks Of dishes ferment and make the
dish unfit for use because those bits
Of fe,nented food help to cause
disease.
3. Damp, greasy dish cloths, l,ung1
IN a warm dark place, are dsnyerousl
10 health, because disease germs
grow best IN an unc!eaE place that is
warm and not exposed to sunlight.

L0CKSLEY HALL HERMIT
WAS TIGHT ROPE WALKER
Eccentric English Millionaire Had
Been Friend Of Blondin.

England has just lost by death a
most eccentric character, George Ed
ward Dering, eighty-one years old, a
fellow of the Royal society. whose
diversion was to walk a tight rope
over lake in his grounds.
Dering was the owner of Locksley
Hall and its 1000 acres at the village
CT WelwyI. in Hertfordshire, and for
twenty years, since the death of his
wife, had not been outside his park
gates. Within the park he drove in
old King George coaches swung on
leather. He never saw an automobile
refused to look at one because he
hated noise.
Though he had millions in cash and
large estates in Galway, Ireland, he
rarely spent any money, permitted
poachers on his land to supply his
table and would often have them sup
with him. Yet to make his home
quieter he spent 100000 in shifting
apublic road.
He was n great friend of BlOndin,
the old rope walker who crossed Nj
agara. Blondin taught him to walk
the rope, and he frequently invited
the villagers to see him perform. On
such occasions he always wore tights,
just as Blondn did. He belonged to
an ancient Saxon family. of which Sir
Henry Neville Dering is the head. He
left an only daughter, who is now hav-
ing tho lawns moved for the first time
in a generation.

COURTSHIP IN STATISTICS.
German Prober Has Declarations Of
Love Codified.

Nothing is sacred to the German
statistician. Presumably basing his
calculations upon information culled
from fiction, he calculates that in the
case of proposals of marriage SO per
cent of the suitors press the hand of
their beloved, "a per cent conclude
their speech with an embrace, 4 per
cent kiss the hair, 2 per cent kiss the
hand, . per cent fall on their knees
and 90 per cent swallow nervously be-
fore they declare their passion.
Ten per cent open and close their
mouths without being able to utter a
single word. and per cent make their
proposals while standing on one foot
With regard to the women, on the
other hand. 60 per cent sink helpless
into the lovers arms for whose pro-
posal they have been waiting, 20 per
cent blush and hide their faces, l per
cent swoon away, 4 per cent are genu-
inely amazed, ii per cent gaze silently
into the suitor's eyes and 1 per cent
run away to tell girl friend.

TWO BATTLESHlPS ARE "DRy"
Total Abstinence Has Invaded King
Georges Navy.

The British navy has just taken a
step unprecedented In its history. The
two cruisers Rainbow and Niobe are
to be teetotal men-of-war, contrary to
all marine traditions.
Grog has always been a part OF the
standard ration, being a connection OF
one part rum to three parts water
but no such luxury is to be permitted
on the two ships above mentioned. In
the old days-in fact. down to lS3O-tht
daily allowance TO each man was a
gallon of ale and half pint OF rum
The quantity has been greatly modi'
fed, but 1t certainly never entered
any tar's head that the time was com
ing for total abstinence.
