DoN'Ts.

Don't let hens run In cold fall rains.
They will not pick up enough to pay
their underwriters bills.
Don't feed cut clover with coarse
stems. These should be sifted out as
they are apt to cause hard crop.
Don't expect hens not to break eggs
In nests that are too small, and don't
get mad If they fight and scramble
eggs where there are not sufficient
nests.
Don't expect your hens not to loaf
II you let them I'LL up. Feed just
enough to keep them working well all
day. and let them have the full meal
for supper to keep their grinders 60
ing all night.
Don't get discouraged and blame
that failure on the hens. You must
not only study your hens, but your
self, and the results of your methods
/ and failure may nearly always be
traced to the fellow behind The hens.

But katherine. his frau,
Could stand beside der bari all day
And eat shoost like a COW.
They fought about dat kraut all day,
They fought about him night,
And Katerines mudder like kraut, too.
And she join in der fight.
Den Bill gifts quiet all to once
About dat sauerkraut smell;
Den Kateriner an her mann
Thought they had licked Bill well.
One day-win you believe dis true?-
Bill bought bar'l Of kraut,
And when them wimmens saw 1t come
They shoost dance round and shout.
But when der kraut begins to hiss
Bill cut der middle hoop.
Them wimmens den went down below
To see how dat kraut look.
Der hull shebang shoost up and bust!
Dem wimmens-where were they?
All covered up nit sauerkraut
Shoost like a load OF hay.
Der mouth was full; der ears was full;
Der nose It was stuffed tight.

Don't you say sauerkraut down there!
They don't eat kraut some more,
And katherine has got club

A Kansas City man could not under

Ducks and geese make short work OF

Pigeons today are mOllycoddled too
much. They are packed into small
lofts and flies, are fed too much patent
food and get too little air and exercise.
Our advice is make loft and fly roomy,
have plenty Of air without drafts, keep
loft and fly clear Of filth and vermin
and use a simple, rational ration.
To induce exercise feed outside when
weather permits and make birds fly to
the far corner of fly for nest material.

wise old uncle from abroad who finds

management Of a young ladies' dancing
academy. The young man struggles he
roically to provide a ready-to-order fam

trays.

teller. and the pictures are said TO grow
more interesting under his characterize

Nuke his annual appearance at the CO.

mystery and romance. The authors, Vic
