HEN HABITS,

While the hen, like men, may in
some respects be morally depraved, yet
she is also a creature of habit and is
capable of instruction and what she is
depends much on the human who
makes her young ideas shoot.
If she's an egg fiend, she gets that
habit because enough nests are not
provided and the egg laid on the floor
rolls around, gets cracked and is eaten
and she wants more, or the nest is
open on top and the eggs are trampled
on and broken, or there is not lime to
make strong eggshells or something
that's in the egg is needed in the ra-
ton to satisfy the needs of her sys-
TEN.
If she's a feather fiend, devouring
her own garments and disrObing her
brothers and sisters, there's a reason
for 1t. She may be bughouse and get
the habit while peclling at crawlers, or
gets no meat in the ration, or is not
kept busy scratching in litter, or she
may get the taste from eating scalded
feathers thrown away by some vast
ing housewife.
If she raises Cain in the neighbor-
hood by tearing up the neighbor's gar
den that habit wasn't born with her
in the egg. There's a hole in the
fence, a top rail on the wire or neigh
boris i'll smelling, insanitary garbage
pile or a charming chanticleer leads
her into temptation. If she runs from
her owner as if scared to death and
skyrockets off the nest at his approach,
it's a sign of roughhOuse methods and
cussin' in the chicken coop.
A nervous. kicking, balky horse, a
COW that siaps the milkmaid with her
tail and kicks over the milk bucket,
or a dog that chaSes a team and causes
a runaway and snaps at the passerby,
these do not come by such habits nat
urally. but by training or lack of train
ing. SO with the hen. You can't
teach a hen to play a bass horn nor
sing duet with Melba. but by gentle
ness you can make her gentle, and
you can keep her from forming bad
habits by keeping inducements to such
away.

Grand Army Enca mpment.

The 47th national encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic and allied
organizations will be held at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, September 1920. This
years encampment is made to coincide
with the semi-centennial of that dead
lest of American battles, Bloody
Chickamauga." There is no escape
from the thought that for thousands
this must be the last pilgrimage to the
ground they made sacred by their heroic
deeds of half a century ago. The vete-
rams and friends will be well cared for
during their stay South and reduced
rates on all railroads will be offered.

BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE.

An old farm hen, a rural rover,
Flew into a haymow among the clover
And said, I'll lay my eggs right here
And hatch me out some babies dear"
She only Matched about week
When, with a roar and dust and creak,
In came a load of new mown hay
That was pitched right where her brown
eggs lay.
Those eggs lay there from June to May,
Until they used that new mown hay,
When the old hen found the same old nest
And cackled loud, well i am blesti
"Those are the eggs l laid last year
To hatch some lovely babies dear.
Now, I'll just lay dozen more
And hatch myself chicklets galore"
But Bddy's effort was all in vain,
For the hay was thrown on the eggs
again.
And they lay in the NOV until Easter
week,
When the farmer came some hay to seek.
He only trod on an egg or two
When through the roof like a flash he
flew,
And as he was passing out of sight
He yelled: "Goodbyl 1t was dynamite!"

A few weeks ago the question was
asked in regard to the location of the

been answered last week, but was over

from il by Torres straits. 1t is more
than 1000 miles in length, and the only
object marked on the island is q small
stream called Fly River. Solomon Is
lands lie several hundred miles east, and
that is where they eat people somewhat
as we do cattle and pigs.
