With the exception OF the pillow. the

Less Kafir corn In the feed as the

Don't fail to divide the buttermilk

All fowls, chicks. ducks and duck

have plenty OF green food every day.
A chicken takes naturally to having
feed handed him. but the turkey Is al
most self.supporting until coz wealth

Don't allow the hen-mother to drag
around all day with her brood, as
many chicks succumb through exhaus-

One advantage in keeping feed al
ways before poultry Is that they do
not have to hurry so to get their
meals.

If hogs are lousy. set a small post,
wrapped tight with an old rope. In the

The hog will do the rest.
Overheating is TO be avoided by eau

Mar's Glamor Gone.

There is no sane. economic reason why there should be wars They are economically wasteful They have ceased to be picturesque. The uni form of the soldier has changed from scarlet and gold to clay color. He lies on his stomach in trench and shoots at an enemy half a mile or more away. Sea fighting has suffered the same decay in romance. The mod ern dreadnought looks more like factory with couple of derricks stick ing out of the roof than boat Or ders are communicated by telephone. It must be very trying to an officer in the skeleton mast during an en- gagement to call up the captain to de- liver some important information and learn that the line is busy. The men are not sailors in the old mean ing of the word They know little about the picturesque side of life at sea.

to sell, without going to much expense or spending a great deal of time in the garden An hour or two at night for a few weeks, early in the season, will accomplish a good deal if the work is intelligently laid out. In building a house like this, don't forget the outside embellishments The lawn and the garden will be the making of the property; at the same time. you will be setting a good example that is almost sure to benefit the neigh borhood.
 Another very important item is the painting. A little house sometimes is conspicuous just because it is small; and more attention is paid to it than to other houses in the neighborhood, especially if it is nicely painted and neatly kept Always choose quiet col ors for a small house; never attempt to make it showy. A drab with white trimmings always looks we'll You may deviate from this without serious injury, possibly; but you cannot i'm prove on a light drab with white trimmings for a small house, especial ly if it is partly hidden among the trees and screened with vines.

The ground is often not very good; 1t is mixed with cellar earth and rubbish that is not we'll calculated for good seed bed for grass.

 This Is a secret that not many householders understand It is not always the house itself that makes a home desirable. I have seen cheap little houses made so attractive that strangers passing would stop to ad- mire.

house, and Is now paying S35 per month. The house has not improved with age, and he Is continually look. ing about to better his condition, but can find no other property that suits him so well or that he can rent at a cheaper rate in proportion to the advantages he now has. He has paid enough rent to buy the house, to pay all street improvements, city taxes, insurance and repairs. He tells me he was offered the property years ago for S2,500, which he thought was too much money. The lot itself is worth more than that today. This is only one of many similar instances that have come to my notice. It is not al ways that a neighborhood improves so rapidly and substantially; but, gen orally speaking, all property in Ameri- can towns advances in value.
 There is another very great advan- tage in owBing a home, and that is the comfortable feeling you have of being a landed proprietor, and the fact that you are not obliged to have

"A little house we've got. on a fower-bowered lot in hustling. breezy. busy little city; it's big enough for two. for our wants are very few. there's only just myself and little Kitty"
 A simple little house like this is very much like going back to first principles, but it furnishes accommo- lation for two just as we'll as a more elaborate affair. We all have ac- qualntanees, especially among our older friends, who commenced life as simply as this, and who are now en- toying the accumulations resulting from frugality and good management.
 If a young couple form the habit of paying rent, they are very likely to pay rent as long as they live. We often hear the remark that 1t is cheap CT to rent than to own our own prop- erty. There never was a more foolish or misleading statement. The man who lives in a rented house seldom gets ahead financially. This holds good whether he is working on a sal ary or Is conducting a business on his own account. It would de difficult to say why. but it probably is because in the majority of cases a renter fails to give attention to the advancing value of real estate

Tip gasped. when the in vitation was conveyed Swiftly they made for the back of the bungalow, but even while they donned their clothes the black and yellow trap ap- peared again. and therein sat Brooke. The girl went down to greet him. and all at once the boys heard peal of laughter. Brooke tumbled hastily from the trap, and made for the back of the cottage.

 June was smiling and blushing as Rob led the line up She listened to all the apologies, and forgaye freely, even the icebox raid When they started. Brixton volunteered to walk.

 May l have one, please, Miss June?"
 These are a little withered I'll get you a fresh one. Cant l have one of those?"
 Something in his voice compelled her to look down at him as he stood waiting at the foot of the wide steps. It seemed hours. that half minute of silence. of reading each others thoughts. She handed him the roses from her belt.
 I'm not going back with the rest Monday" Brixton stumbled ahead blindly. Can you guess why?"
 She shook her head, and drew back from the tell-tale eyes. Brixton hesi- i tated. The boys were shouting down 1 the shore. He bent forward, and kissed the white slim hand that rest 1 ed on the veranda rail.
