 Onicialdom does not change it's regular routine on Easter, and consequently has Easter dinner in the evening instead of at noon, as do so many folks in other American communities The after noon is devoted to calling and to driving motor- ing-always a great afternoon diversion in Wash ington Some of the foreigners and other cos mopolitan hostesses in Washington have of late years manifested inclination to devote all Sun day afternoons and evenngs-and Easter in par tfcular-to regulation social functions such as teas, receptions, etc. However the more devout church members in official circles, headed by Mrs. Taft have set their faces resoutely against this attempt to introduce at Washington anything sayoring of the Continental Sunday"
 Evening church services Easter at the cap ftal are as well attended the corresponding services in other cities, but sees compara- lively few prominent officials at such evening serv- ices Whether it is that they feel that their devo- tons of the morning should suffice, or that the late dinner hour: 30 o'clock at the White House and in most fashionable official homes-interferes, it is difficult to say. Or, perhaps it may be that officialdom considers that it had best early to bed in preparation for the strenuous program of Easter Monday which is not less busy day for the grownups of oficialdom than for the thou sands of excited children who roll eggs in the Presidents big back yard.

GIVE THE BOY SMALL FLOCK
Ten or Twelve Fowls and Has Been Found Satisfactory.
CBy MRS. K. A. GRIMEs.)

(By MRS. K A. GRIMES.)
 If boy has fowls of his own, he will want to manage them so as to keep them separate from the other poultry on the farm. The following plan which is arranged to accommo- date ten or twelve hens and a male, has been found satisfactory.
 The coop in question Is five feet wide and twelve feet long, giving floor space of sixty square feet-five or six square feet per hen. It Is six feet high at the front and four feet at the back, and is built from cheap lumber and covered with tarred roof ing.
 The door into the coop Is put at one end of the front wall. It is closed with frame covered with wire netting hay ing curtain of muslin on the inside for use in the cold weather. The up per half of the remaining part of the front Is also left open and covered with netting, with an inside muslin curtain.
 In the warm weather these curtains sAi V hVpS lOiiSd oPJ bub iil bOld Co1iASA they are let down over the openings.
 The only other openings in the coop are four little square doorways, eight by ten inches in size.
 In the center of the back wall, two feet above the floor, fasten frame two feet wide and three feet long. carrying two roasting poles. This frame should be hinged to the wall, so 1t can be raised out of the way when desired.
 Under it, foot from the floor, make little platform of boards to catch the droppings. Do not fasten this anywhere, as you will want to take it up to clean it.
 On the front corners of the roost- ing frame put legs a foot long, which should rest on this dropping board when the roost Is lowered in place. Have both resting poles the same height, not set so the frame will slant.
 On the ceiling, directly above the roost, nail strips of inch board so as to make a frame the same size, or trifle larger, than the roost itself.
 To this tack strips of burlap-sack- ing long enough to reach the floor,

Discard Male Birds.

If you do not intend to hatch any eggs from your flock this season, sell or use or give away every male bird you have on the place. You will get as many if not more eggs without them than with them; then why feed and care for one extra bird out of every ten if you do not want fertile eggs? Infertile eggs will keep a great deal longer, are better for usage and then you will help some to wipe out that forty-five million.

she will, barring the ravages of black head disease, raise 90 per cent. of them. If she is allowed to roam she may raise as many, but it will de- pend largely upon their fortuitous escape from water, cold and animal foes. Their survival may also de- pend upon the individual character istics of the hen as brooder, and upon the care which she receives.
 Poults improperly brooded during the first week begin to die in the second. They seem at this early age particularly subject to lung and abdominal troubles. Overheating and chilling, and rapid changes from hot to cool conditions, affect them fatally. The connection between the lungs and the abdominal air sacs is such that both are affected by colds. One of the most common results of these in aammations is suspension of eating followed by the absence of ingesta in he intestine. The consequence of this is that the white material eX- ereted by the kidneys becomes more apparent, and gives rise to the symp- tom called white diarrhea. While this inflammation may or may not be due to a specific germ. the disease is so readily prevented by proper temper ature conditions during the first three weeks of the poult's life that it mat ters little whether it is a germ disease or not. The disease is on the same basis as pneumonia in human beings, since germs in that case may cause the disease, but they seem to get their first foothold by infammations pro duced in the tissues as result of changes of temperature.

Excellent investment.

One of the best forms of invest ment on the farms Is the liberal feed ing of farm animals of all kinds; and the colt is no exception. A well-bred colt, if properly taken care of and fed the right kind of feed during his first three years of life, will bring from $75 to $100 more when three years old than the one that is neglect ed and poorly fed. Good young horses are always in demand on the market, and can only be supplied from the farms where colts receive the proper care and treatment.

Full Grown Turkeys Best.

Late matched turkeys should not be weakly stock, and these birds need all the vigor possible to resist disease. A possible exception Is few poults kept over to hatch midsummer broods out-of-doors, which will clean up a great many grasshoppers and other insects. The birds matched outside are not hearty. so are subject to dis ease. and not being overgrown can be fattened by Christmas.
