I This month along with September,
is a hard one on chickens, not only
oecause OF the heat, but also because
OF the melting season setting in.
ihough the egg production is decreas-
ing, M fowls must have an abund.
lance OF food to retain their strength.
Fowls on range are particularly we'll
off. however. because Of the fact that
mother earth is just teeming with
animal life and the birds fiji mn on
such food greedily.
Fowls that are kept in close COM
hnement do not have this advantage
and therefore, the poultryman must
supply the equivalent. He must feed
not only beef scrap. or milk. but he
must feed also a liberal amount Of
green food. The beef scraps, however.
u b. handled judiciously, for the
reason that too much Of it is over
birds are not used to it it brings on
bowel trouble.
n birds must have shade. If no
natural shade is provided by foliage
an artificial shelter must be built. It
10 not SUFFICIENT that you have a shady
nook In the coop. The birds need the
fresh air. and not the odor Of the
coop. These shade places are easily
built. A piece of cloth fastened to
Aout SIAChS eSI upright III Ine ground
will answer the purpose. Instead Of
cloth. wood may be used, or brush
may be so set up as to give shelter.
Hens that are young and in good
health will cast some OF their feathers
in July, but in the early stages Of the
mott will not stop laying and it is
not until the new feathers are grow
ing profusely hat the egg laying will
cease altogether. Hens in this class
sometimes finish the mott in a little
over two months and yet will stop egg
laying only rear the end because the
strain Of taking on the new feathers
becomes too great for them. Older
hens, those from three to four years
Of age, will cease laying with the drop
ping Of the first feather and will not
resume laying until the last new
feather has grown to it's full length.
This is m Of the reasons for getting
rid Of the older birds. They are com-
PEELED to rest up too long at melting
time. when the eggs are in demand
at fancy prices.
1t is best to kill these hens before
the mott sets in. If they have been
Noting for two or three weeks It is
better not to kill them until late in
the winter, because the drain on their
systems will have begun to tell after
a couple Of weeks and they will not
be in condition to eat.

The suit was the same. Rose took
the plate along to be sure. It was very
beautiful, she thought. and so she told
her mother. Mrs. Santee looked ex-
cited and flushed. She sat up in bed
to talk about it. And they've got the
dearest hat to 90 with it," Rose cried.
They showed it to me. And they
tried to get me to buy it,"
"You?" said Mrs. Santee. You'd
look like a gypsy in that color. Green
was always my color" She thought
restlessly for a moment. Rose she
commanded, you go to the phone and
order that suit from Partridge's. I
am going to have it,"
Rose ordered the suit and hat to be
sent up. They came within an hour.
They were all they promised and
lore. Mrs. Santee sat up in bed and
had her hair fixed SO she could try on
the hat. Rose held a glass for her.
The effect was eminently gratifying.

It vas two days before the doctor
called again. Rose let him in, a pic

BUYING IN PERSON.

Among the causes which contribute
dering goods by telephone u]ndouhted-
1y has its place. The Telephone. is so
convenient that it can he used on a
moments notice. and its use naturally
tends to encourage the habit of buy
ing in small quantities., which is the
most expensive way to buy. Then,
when goods are ordered by phone or
otherwise, to be put up and delivered
later, the customer cannot be certain
of getting goods of the right quality
in all cases. Fruits, meats, fowl, and
many other articles of food, vary
greatly in quality, and if the customer
does not make her own selections she
may or may not get as good service
as if she did.
But, while it is we'll enough to an
alyze h conditions, and to locate the
causes, if possible. it is not at all like

telephone, or return to the old prac-
tlce Of personal marketing. The mar

went to bed and inconvenienced her
household until she got it. Rose
could see to everything downstairs.
Faithful service was her rightful due
in return for having brought a great
strapping girl into h world. Ana
while Rose was busy about her moth
er's person she was not like to have
much time to think about marriage.
Mrs. Santee was determined Rose
should not marry. And the only way
she could work out her plan was by
staying in bed and keeping Rose in
attendance upon her.
To be sure, she had to have a doctor
in waiting. But n had been very
particular about her selection OF a
doctor. None of the fippant, young

would make love to Rose the second
time they came. No; she had chosen

wouldn't be able to hatch up much
romance about the DID Crouch" He
would not look at Rose. So Mrs. San
tee rested content and enjoyed her
long siesta.
The door opened gently and Rose
entered. She had finished the morn
ing's work downstairs and had come
up to see if her mother wanted any
thing. Rose was tall and slim, the
kind Of a girl who looks best in a
skinny skirt and severely tailored
black hair and dark gray eyes and
fine, sweet features. She was not pref
~, but she had an air of style that
was better than prettiness.
Resting, MOTHER" Rose asked. She
went to the window, twitching a fold
Of the curtain into place. On a distant
tennis court a quartet of young peo-
pie were playing a brisk game. She
could hear their shouts and laughter,
could see the flash of the rackets in
the sun. And she sighed. There was
where she longed to be, not cooped up
indoors with a sick mother. Yet she
knew what her duty was and rebelled
against it in her mind occasionally.
Rose believed her mother was real
ly i'll. With her own bourdless young
strength and energy she could not un-
derstand how anybody could stay in
bed through such lovely spring wealth
er as this without being seriously in
disposed. She could not think Of any
calamity more fearful Detailing one,
especially in springtime. For herself

IT'S only the door bell, mother. It
sounds louder because the house Is 80
still this morning. I will go down and
see what it is"
Rose went downstairs swiftly. She
pulled open the door and there stood
the doctor. The old crouch was Just
as tall as Rose. but no taller. He had
thick. sandy hair and a straight cut,
sandy moustache. His eyes were blue
and remarkably keen. There was

But just now. at sight of the girl on
n threshold, there was no solemn
gloom. only a young gladness and
eagerness.
They smiled at and greeted each
other and the doctor entered. He had
a parcel of magazines under n arm
and he drew them forth to show to
the girl.
See here, Rose, wha, I've GOT" he
said. He often brought her books and
magazines.
For me? Oh Rose began, de-
lighted. but he stopped her.
NO. these are for your mother.
I've a plan. But first I'll give YOU
what I brought for YOU" He drew a
autographed and herihboned box from
his pocket.

color rose into her face: her yes

ment upon her girlish pleasure; then
he returned to his professional BUSH

She had drawn ear him to peep at

cheek, at h way her dark, wavy hair
hid her ear, at the full curve Of her

doors and out. Between house clean

She took the magazine from the doc

pages herself. The styles seem to

A GAME THAT II

Why is it that Tammany. after steal
Ing profusely ron New York city for
30 many generations, and wasting
much more than it steals, and being
the cause of burning hundreds of reo-
pie in buildings, and killing thousands
before their time from disease, and
making 1t harder for everybody to
keen his family alive, should still be a
favorite with the masses? asks Har-
per's Weekly. Mr.. Amos Pinchot has,
In a recent address, put the principle
Of Tammany success in a homely IL
lustration:
There is a game called "stuss'
which. as you may or You may not
know, is popular in many sections Of
New York. From the secret of the
popularity of "stuss" may be deduced
the cause of an important element in
Tammany's power.
The loser at 'stuss'' is never allow
ed to leave the temple of chance dead
broke. AT the door there is always
returned to him a percentage OF his
losses, and the unfortunate one goes
on his way with the feeling that he
is being taken care of even in adver-
Bity.
This bonus. given to the victim of
the tickle goddess, acting through the
agency of Il carefully calculated sys-
tenn, is called "vigsrish." The Tam
many-Wall Street combination, with
Ats wholesale CRAFTS and its retail char
table district organization work, is
the counterpart Of the "stuss" joint
and "viggrish.' Tammany robs the
public on a magnificent scale in pub
lic contracts, and in enormous profits
wrung from the people through Tam
many owned and operated gas, electric
lighting, and traction companies. Then
the Tammany bank, having accunnu-
lated a large amount of loot, gives a

grateful.
The American people nay not be
the easiest people on the earth to
bunco. Probably in different direc-
lions any of the great nations could
put in a strong claim for that distinc-
ton. When the Americans put in
their argument, however, for first
place. probably the patient and inno-
cent stupidity with which we allow
our cities to be misgoverned, would
be the strongest argument we could
bring forward.

that no country in the world is SO

today of Mexico. Even our generals

handling a division, properly equipped,

of occupying Mexico, backed by the
