Feed During Moltlnq.

The melting Of fowls is a natural
process and not a disease and no
medical treatment is necessary or de-
sirable. Feed melting fowls just as
you would feed them at any other
time. only remember that melting is
done during hot weather, and less car
bonaceous food should be given than
when the weather is cool. Oats. wheat
cut clover or alfalfa or any leguminous
seeds may be used more because the
weather is warm than that fowls are
melting. Any sort OF green food Is
good: so are beets, turnips. bulbs oil
tubers of any sort that they will eat
They should have little corn or othel

VALUE OF POULTRY PRODUCTS
Poor Methods Of Preparing and Mar

Much Of His Profits-
CRy F. H. sTONEBURN.)


Poultry products of various kinds
form one OF the greatest crops pro-
duced upon American farms. The
ever increasing number of farms and
plants devoted exclusively TO poultry
keeping produce large amounts OF
high grade goods, although these are
inconsiderable when compared with
the vast supply coming from the small
fiocks scattered upon the farms and
In the villages throughout the coun-
try. UnQuestionably the great bulk
of poultry products has come In the
past from the latter sources, and this
condition is likely to continue.
Many farmers concede that their
focks of poultry yield them a fair
profit, although any intelligent OBJ
server has but to spend short time
in investigating the great markets to
learn that poor methods OF preparing
and marketing alone prevent the pro
Queer from receiving much greater re
turns. The majority of poultry raisers
fail to realize that their profits could
be largely increased, first, by the
production Of better and more uniform
goods; and second, by improved meth
DDS Of dsposing OF them.
Not infrequently it is stated tina
high-grade goods sell themselves
and in a sense this is true. but it i

goods; much is lost IL they are no

HomeIy, Yet Admired
 and Envied; Her Secret

The convention crowd in the lobby made a path for her, cast admiring side glances, then with longing eyes followed her to the elevator. It was at the Ponchartrain in Detroit. The incident was recalled when l chanced to sit across table from the woman. What was it about her that caused all that commotion? She wasn't hand some; she was lacking in form and feature Yet she did seem marvellous ly fascinating. Her complexion must be the secret. Really, I've never be- held it's equal. Nenturing to pick up acquaintanceship, l learned the reason.
 T know I'm not built for beauty" she confided, but I've tried to make the most of my one charm. I've learn ed that men abhor make-ups and ar titiciality l bar cosmetics; there are just two things l ever use and they promote natural loveliness and youth ful appearance.
 When my complexion begins to age, l get an ounce of mercolized wax at the drug store, apply at night like cold cream and wash it off in the morning This gradually flakes off the outerskin; then l have a brand new complexion, magnetically beautiful, as you see.
 Wrinkles never bother me. At their inception 1 bathe my face in a solution made by dissolving an ounce of powd cred saXolite in a haif-pint of witch hazel It works like magic. c.'-Mona Morrow in Town Tattler.

 Ten Were Wounded.
 They were driven back. and shots followed, with terrible effect Ten were wounded, two unto death The tories then had control. Seven patriots were held as prisoners and they and the injured and dying men were incar- cerated in the jail pen of the court house. Five bullets penetrated the body and one the brain of William French of Brattleboro, 21 years of age. Daniel Houghton of Dlnmerston died later. The bodies of both were buried in the ceneery opposite the court house and a monument common to both was erected by the state.
 Date Was March 13, 1775.
 The inscription has the force of his- tory in its wording. Thus on the 18th day of March, 1775, the fatal shot had been fired by British authority upon peaceful and determined resistants of that authority. The next day the Westminster militia liberated the pris- oners and arrested the judges and their assistants. and they were sent to Northampton jail to receive a fair trial.

In the first arti- cle of the constitution she had pro- 1 hIbited slavery, and the dominant trait | in the character of her people was | and has since been intolerance of op- 1 pression and devotion to personal free dom and individual rights.
 Illustrative Pictures. Miss Brown had pictures of tho monument of William French, the first martyr of the revolution, and the marker placed on the site of the court house, with a drawing of the old court | house itself.
 The hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. A. c. Ladd and Mrs. F. C.. Whit ing. They served afternoon tea and dainty refreshments.
