time may be saved in feeding, 1t be-
Ing necessary to fill the hoppers only
once or twice a week.
A very convenient sized house for
so to 70 chicks Is shown in the ac-
companying illustration. 1t Is six by
three and one-half feet on the ground,
three feet high in front and two feet
behind. Iron roofing or building paper
may be used, both on the top and on
the sides. For floors, one-inch match
ed stuff is best. The bottom may be
made of rough boards, the upper side
planed. In the summer the chicks
need an opening about ten inches wide,
running the entire length Of the front.
This may be covered on the inside
with one-inch mesh poultry wire.
Where the door Is full high, three feet,
1t is much handler to have a screened
opening on the top, ten inches in
width, as shown in the drawing. Two
men can carry such houses from place
to place or one person can shift them
by moving one end at time. By u.s.
ing colony houses, believe the farmer
can produce healthier chicks with less
expense and better than by the ordi-
nary methods practiced on most farms.

where there is plenty Of insect food or
scattered grain left by the binder or
the reaper, writes w. ]. Judson in the
orange Judd Farmer. In such surround
ings the chicks can save considerable
outlay for food by converting into flesh
what would otherwise go to waste.
Young chickens can be removed from
the house or the brooders when about
six weeks old. If taken from hens,
they should be busted thoroughly for
lice at that time and II not already
marked should be marked with poul-
try punch.
At first they should be confined to
a temporary yard by wire netting
not less than two feet high. A con-
venient size for this yard is one rod
each way OF course, the larger the in
closure, the more grass there will be
for the chicks. 1t is best to keep
them here for three or four days, or
week, depending upon their age
and the distance they are removed
from their former location. When
they become accustomed to the place,
the fence may be removed by using
hoppers which contain one-half to

Maturity Of Hogs.

From a market standpoint mature
hog is one that has either temporarily
or permanently ceased growing, and
taken on the form and finish required
by the meat trade. The time at which
a pig comes to maturity may be de-
termined very largely by the char
acter of the feed and the manner OF
feeding. Pigs have been brought to
maturity at will anywhere between
the ages OF six and nine months.
Early maturity Is brought about by
feeding an excess of on-nitrogenous
feeds. or by sudden changes from
nitrogenous to non-nitrogenous feeds.
By feeding an excess of such fat
forming feed as cornmenl, the pigs do
not have n sufficient amount OF pro,
tein mtriments to continue their
growth, and so begin to lay on fat

Is about the size of a Pekin, dainty
and very beautiful. The drake is ex-

The white Muscovies are the same as

Increase In Value Of Sheep.

WOMAN SCENE PAINTER.

America has only one woman
scenic artist, so far as known. She
is Grace Wishaar, who undertook her
unusual mode of livelihood in a
somewhat accidental way She al
ways had loved painting, but had not
been thoroughly grounded in draw
ing. She had a national talent for
color and grouping. One day a
scenic artist who had a studio in the
same western city as her own had a
big contract which he found it inn
possible to finish in the night of
schedule. He made his trouble
known to Miss Wishaar and she went
to his rescue. The work was fin
ished on time. After that the girl
worked with that artist for a time
and afterward went to New York,
where after many fruitless attempts
to get work, a well-known scene
painter took her into his workshop.

n 10 the Dull, Prosalc Life, Lived
Without Interest, That
Ages One.

Take a real live interest in the
things about YOU Get enthusiastic J
II won't hurt you to get quite ex-
rited in your enthusiasm once in a
while. It is the dull, prosaic life,
lived without interest, that ages one.
You need a change.
Take some exercise. You need it.
Many a woman would like to get
out and play with her children, or
the neighbors' children, but she is
afraid of what the neighbors will say
and so she sits indoors and grows
old.
Never mind what your neighbors
soy. Do the things you would like
to do and keep your youth. You,
and you alone, are the creator of
your destiny. 1t is you who is
growing old.
In order to have time for both
mental and physical exercise, plan
your work carefully in the morning
and then avoid hurry, worry and get
ting frustrated. Learn self-control,
and if your well-laid plans seem to
be going all awry, take the Interrupt
tons coolly. Fold your hands, if
necessary, until the interruption is
over. Remember there is another
day coming. Tomorrow will be bet

ENORMOUS POWER OF RADIUM
Scotch Scientist Refuses to Take
Chances With Substance Not
Thoroughly Analysed.

In some experiments which Prof.
F. Soddy was showing to his class
of Glasgow students with radium
emanation. he carefully corked up
the flask containing the gas with the
remark that the emanations' physio-
logical effects were imperfectly in
vestigated, and certainly potent, and
that he had no personal wish to in
vestigate them.
The amount of gaseous emana-
ton with which he was experiments
ing was SO small that it would have
required thirty times as much to fill
a bubble the size of a pinhead-Or
one cubic millimeter. He added
that if instead of the thirtieth part
of pinhead full we could obtain
pint of this gas-and to obtain such
a quantity half ton of pure radi-
UNI would be required-it would IA
date the energy of hundred pow
erful arc amps. Indeed, as Ruther-
ford has said, no vessel would hold it
and such quantity would instantly
melt and dispel in vapor any mate
rial known.
