What There's Time For.

Lots of time for lots of things,
Tho it's said that time has wings
The. : always time to find
Ways of being sweet and kind;
There is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere;
Time to send the frowns away,
Time gentle word to say,
Time for helpfulness, and time
To assist the weak to climb,
Time to give little flower,
Time for friendship, any hour
But there is no time to spare,
For unkindness any where.

KEEP TAB ON AGE OF FOWLS
Enables Poultryman to Gull Out Hens
That are Unproftabie-one
Method Favored.

II Is mere guess work to tell the
age OF a hen after she has passed tho
pullet stage. To tho good poultryman
II Is important that the exact age OF
every fowl on his premises be known.
Hens that arc past the age for profit
should be culled out and their places
taken by the younger stock. Legbands
with numbers may be used when the
pullets arrive ut maturity. and. IL rec
ords are kept, the identity OF each
fowl Is easily established. A less elab-
crate method, and one which no poul-
t~rykeeper a afford not to follow, Is
to punch n hole In one OF the four
webs OF the feet. each web represent.
Ing n certain year. Special punches
for this purpose may be purchased
from any poultry supply house. but n
small sized leather belt punch can be
used to good advantage. The hole Is
punched very easily when the newly
Matched chick Is first taken from the
nest or incubator. All OF n seasons
chicks may be marked on the same
web, although II special hatchings
are TO be kept separately az high as
fifteen combinations can be used. II
properly done the hole or traces OF
the scar will always remain and the
identity OF the fowl cannot be lost.

may be infested with mites. II Is verl
seldom that a dirty house will be
found TO be free from these pests.
Lice and mites cause more losses
among poultry than all other things
combined.
Poultry houses should be SO ar
ranged inside that the p~oultryman
can keep down the mites without an
undue expenditure Of time and en-.
ergy. Mites live In a house and must
be killed there. busting the hens
will never get rid OF them.
The best means OF getting rid OF
mites in the houses is to spray thor
oughly with kerosene emulsion. This
should be done twice with an interval
Of from FIVE to seven days between
the sprayings.
The emulsion Is made as follows:
Cut up II pound OF soap and dissolve
II In hot water; while the water IL
hot. stir in two gallons OF kerosene
and continue stirring for fifteen &c
twenty minutes. II is important &c
have the kerosene, soap and water
well mixed, especially IL it is not &c
be used at once To this mixture add
seventeen gallons OF water. This

Billings leveled his big arm at ma.

"That--that1l do, about that old
mani" he choked at last. "Not-not
another word about HIM" And final
ly he collapsed into his seat from
sheer exhaustion. Just sat there
painting and glaring at me like a jolly
bulldog.
Gradually he became calmer.
Tell you what: the only thing that
lets you out, Dicky, Is the way Van
Dyne and Blakesley did. In turn. when

Billings strobe TO the end OF the
room and back. Then he sat down
again. beating with his foot upon the
floor.
They we're pretty nasty after that"
Billings went ON gloomily; land they
wouldn't send for any n else. Just
had TO sit there In that internal bas-
tile with nothing on but pajamas and
a pair Of bedroom slippers. Every
once In a while somebody would come
