Don't keep two breeds of chickens
in one pen if you can help it. They
don't eat alike.
Birds that are to be shown and are
still in the moult can be hurried along
with little oily meal.
A tablespoon full of olive oil given
to adult fowls will often check bowel
trouble, or stop cold.
Glover not only promotes digestion
but also largely assists in supplying
the elements necessary for produc-
.tion
Where you find filth you find YER
min. These two things cause host
of diseases, and right here is where
the losses begin.
Be sure those fast maturing birds
are perfectly free from lice. 1t will
not only hinder their growth but will
make big difference in their color.
A cabbage hung in the hen house
twice week just high enough so that
the hens will have to jump for 1t
makes good winter green food when
the thermometer is at zero.
Pullets and hens will lay Just as
we'll without the attention of a male
bird as with one. Better separate
the male birds from the hens until
you mate up your breeding pens.
Now is the time to buy stock, old
or young. The breeders have more
than they can keep. By buying now
you can get better birds for less
money than at any other time in the
year Now is the time to make a
start. Don't delay.
Capons are in good demand. The
utility breeder should caponize those
extra cockerels, as they will grow
larger than cockerels kept at less
cost, as they will produce more meat
to the food consumed than any other
fowl. And they demand better
price.
There is altogether too much
fancy" in poultry literature and not
enough Utility" Both are neces-
sary, as the ,ongrel tolerated by our
grand parent, did not produce the
results that The birds of today do.
And same may be said, nor did the
old way Of f@eding produce the re-
suits, as the methods of today, vet
there are many who follow the old
practice of our grand parents, simply
because they have not learned the

Boiled Beef.

Boiled beef is very acceptable
meat if carefully prepared. Select
bolar piece from the shoulder or

well. Use large iron kettle which is
hot with little meat dripping in it.
Put in the beef and turn often brown
ing on all sides. Then cover it with
boiling water and let it boil hard for
10 minutes, or until the meat is hot
throughout. Then place the meat
over the small simmering burner
where it will just stew for an hour
and a half or until tender. To add
one tablespoonful of vinegar to the
water will help to make it tender and

tablespoonful salt, little black or

The Poultry Show

Every breeder of fowls should be
an exhibitor for the educational and
advertising advantages you can get
by attending poultry shows. You
should assist and do your part to have
a show held in your section and to
make it a success and permanent
thing each season. A live poultry
show extends the interest in poultry
that no other agency does, thus in
creasing the demands for better poul-
try, and this is quite noticeable where
shows have been held some few years
in succession; the demand for better
poultry is increasing each year, and
each season the market buyers will
tell you the quality is better than the
previous year. This alone is worth
the effort of every poultryman. In
creasing sales and interests should
well repay for the extra efforts put
forth to have show in your section.
The show is held during the months
of December, January and February,
generally. Selecting a week for the
show, then have it open on Tuesday,
closing Thursday or Friday. This
gives time for shipments of birds to
arrive, and also plenty of time to re-
turn them to their owners, without
being liable to be held in transit over
Sunday at some junction or division
terminal. The birds should be
shipped in regular exhibition coops
that are tight with a curtain front,
or the regular show shipping coop
manufactured for that purpose.
Great care should be given in taking
them to the express office for ship

One of the most difficult domestic
problems that woman, and especial
ly young and inexperienced woman,
can face presents itself when she con-
sents to become the wife of a widower
with children. And her position is
rendered none the less difficult if the
children do not happen to be grown.
The older they are, the more philo-
sophical they are apt to be regarding
their fathers marriage, but younger
ones are apt to resent most vigor-
ously any one taking mother
place." and to visit with all the
cruelty of youth their resentment
upon the unfortunate stepmother,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A case occurred recently where the
step-mother came into the family of
high-strung, nervous children, who
were bitterly resentful of her COM
ing, but she dominated the situation
with a lack of friction and success
that surprised those who knew the
lively tempers of the family. This
particular girl, for she seemed no
more than a girl, married a man with
three sons, the eldest being about 16
years of age. The boys mother had
been dead for about two years and
any one may imagine the feelings of
those boys toward a perfect stranger
in the place of the mother to whom
they had been devoted.
The girl went abour the situation
with consummate tact. First of all,
she asked the father to say nothing
to the boys as to their attitude to-
ward the new wife, and he had most
wisely agreed not to do so. Then,
after the marriage ceremony, she
asked for a private interview with the
boys, the father remaining away. She
made them understand clearly that
she did not wish nor intend to try to
take their mothers place; she assured
them that it was her purpose to man
age the home as nearly as possible in
the way that it had always been con-
Quoted, and that she would deem it a
kindness if the oldest BOY would help
her out in this respect.

How One StepmOfher Solved the Problem

stiffness and rigid politeness on the
part of the boys, as naturally might
be expected. The new mother waited
and did not try to force matters in
the least, but was always gracious
and interested in whatever concerned
them. She laid down a rigid course
of action for herself concerning her
own conduct in the family circle. She
never attempted to caress or kiss the
children, nor did she ever display her
affection for the father in the pres
ence of the boys. At her request, he
observed the same line of conduct to-
ward her, and nothing except kiss
upon leaving in the morning and upon
return at night was exchanged when
the boys were present. She well knew
that any attempted caresses of the
children or any excessive display OF
affection for the father would arouse
additional resentment quicker than
anything else-and her first mission
in that house was to dispel resent
ment and not arouse it.
Their own mothers name was a
daily word. The boys were told how
pleased she would be to see their
progress in school; in deciding about
something they wished to have
Would the little mother approve of
such a choice?" or about anything
new that was undertaken-"I Won
der how your mother would have
liked it."
Gradually the tension loosened, I'M
til one day the ''littlest" boy discov-
cred that her name began with "E"
and he decided then and there to call
"Her" Mother Il. The other boys
adopted the name at once, but very
soon the name became "Mothree" and
then the girl knew she had won.
She mad it a point never to be so
busy or tired that when the boys came
home, each with his own account of
the days pleasure or work, or troub-
les, she could not enjoy all they told
her.
The home was always open for their
friends and each boy was encouraged
to bring his companions there. One
Of the dearest pleasures Mrs. f. ever
Charlevoix county herald., 1913-12-06

had, she says, was when the oldest
boy brought friend home and said
to him:
"This is my mother"
Then she truly felt that her tact
and thoughtfulness had won the bat
tie for her.
This is what she has to say to any
one who is in a similar position, or
contemplates occupying such place,
and she speaks with the wisdom of
one who has fought the fight and
conquered:
always dress as attractively as
one can. Never appear careless.
Never be superior-it is better to be
the children's chum. Don't nag-it
doesn't pay and only irritates both.
Above all, don't be jealous of the love
that was given their mother. Let the
memory of her be like that of a sis
ter, so that the mention of her name
is a pleasure and not a jealous pain.
Don't take her picture from the wall,

ment, providing the weather is cold,
as there is danger of the combs being
frosted or frozen. Those receiving
birds should be more careful that no
mishaps occur while birds are in their
care, as this alone will injure your
show in the future more than any
thing else. Your show room will be
an opera house, hall or vacant store
building. This room should he kept
well ventilated, with no fire or heat in
the building, unless in separate room
where the heat will in no way heat
the air in the show room. Ventilation
is necessary but drafts are costly and
must be avoided. If this advice is
needed, with good Judge and nice
ribbons, and few specials to award,
your show will grow more in favor
each year.

Electric Health and Cooking

The use of electric heating and
cooking appliances on the present
electric lighting circuits appeals to
the majority of people. II is esti-
mated that from 100000 to 2,OOO,-
900 homes in the United States are
wired for electricity.
There are many useful electric
heating appliances which consume so
little power that they may readily be
used on lighting circuits.
The average electric lighting rate
is about 10 cents per kilowatt hour
ii. E., 1000 watts per hour. On this

don't ridicule her way Of doing things,
for remember she was the wife of the
man you love, and she loved him as
much as you do. Remember that
your husbands love for you will be
10 times greater if you show your
reverence for the mother of his chill
dren."
The position of stepmother is at
best a trying one and one that will
call for all the patience and tact that
woman possesses. Taking such a
place should not be contemplated, un-
less the new wife can do so, lovingly
and reverently, knowing that the only
rule to follow to achieve genuine sue
cess is the old Golden Rule: "Do
unto others as we would that they
should do unto you"
