Melting season is at hand.

Melting season is at hand.
Pullets Matched in March should be
laying now.
Vermin breeds much faster in warm
weather than in COOL
Filth and vermin are the great
profit killers and yet good remedies
are IN reach of everyone.
Hens set in August will produce
chicks that will grow into first-class
table poultry about February.
Ii our chicks or older fowls are not
thrifty, let us look into our methods
and find out where we are to blame.
When the hens begin to climb trees
to roost, it is time to look to the venti-
lation and cleanliness of the houses.
Hen afflicted with scaly leg cannot
possibly give the best service in egg
production, and rough shanks look
bad
DO not use harsh methods In break
ing up the broody hens. Remember
that broodiness is natures provision
for rest.
Authorities claim that the eggs
from hen will be fertile for ten days
after the removal of the male from
the flock.
Inc appearance Of the fowls Is not
very attractive now, but when the
melting ordeal is over they will look
all the prettier.
Two essentials are absolutely nee
essary to raise summer-hatched
chicks: First, an abundance of fresh
air; second, protection from the heat
OF the sun.

MAKING LATE MATCHES PAY
Cockerels Will Grow Rapidly and
Come in Nicely for Winter
"springers" for Frying.

Midsummer chicks are as a rule
not a success. The main reasons are
that the hot weather and insects are
against them. But late matches will
frequently do as well as early ones
with equally good care. For late
matches set hens or the incubator any
time In August, to have the chicks
come off in September, when the
weather Is cooler and the summer In
sects have begun to diminish.
Cockerels from early fall matches
will grow rapidly and will come in
nicely for winter "springers" for
broiling or frying. Pullets from these
matches may not grow to be SO large
as spring-hatched pullets, nor will
they lay this coming winter, but they
will begin to lay next spring, and will
continue to lay all next summer at
time when other hens are off duty In
the egg business. With good num-
Der of fall-hatched pullets a contin-
uous egg supply for all the seasons
is assured.

WATERING TANK FOR FOWLS
Chicago Man Constructs One With
Automatic Opening and Closing
Valve for Supply.

From a tank placed on a bracket
shelf near the ceiling of my chicken
house 1 ran a one-half-inch pipe down
and into the water dish, writes P.
n Merrill of Chicago in the Popular
Mechanics. I then made a float of a
tin can and attached it to the end of
a lever with the float resting in the
dish in such a position that an in
crease of the amount of water would
cause the float to rise and produce a
downward motion of the opposite end
of the lever. To this end | attached
a cord which extended to lever

Guinea as a Foraqer.

The guinea fowl is a great forager
and destroys many insects that the
hens will not touch, They do not
scratch the garden and, though not
easily kept near the house, they make
known the places where they lay by
peculiar noise, which enables one
accustomed to them to find all the
eggs they lay. They really cost almost
nothing to raise, and when roosting
near the house create an alarm should

CURE FOR DRooPY POULTRY
Dip Made of Strong Bacon Grease
and Warm Water VIII Cause
Feathers to Drop EaslIy.

Save all the strong bacon grease,
especially the grease from fried bacon.
When your fowls sit around picking
themselves and looking droopy and
shabby, get large deep can or buck
ct; from its shape large candy buck
ct is best; fill it nearly full of warm
water; on this pour melted grease I'M
til 1t forms a thick scum over the
water; catch your fowls, take them
one by one, by their wings and with
the head held straight up dip them
down, pretty hard, two or three times
into the water; let the head go COM
pletely under once; do tits quickly
to avoid strangling the fowl; then
turn 1t loose.
After waiting few hours for the
water to drip from the feathers, drive
them into the shade, so the sun will
not blister them. For short time
they will be a sorry looking lot of
fowls.
This treatment causes the feathers
to fall apart, so the body Of the fowl
is cool, the water softens the skin:
the grease-laden feathers fall out cas-
lily, and the new ones push their way
through the skin and grow in masses
instead of one or two in place; the
time of moulting is shortened; the
fatty grease kills all vermin on the
fowl, while the grease-saturated feath-
ers are death traps to any vermln that
may get on them.
Keep the bucket filled with water
and pour more grease on the water
from time to time.
The fowls should be dipped early in
the morning and made to roost under
shelter for several nights.
By dipping fowls in the early fall
they become healthy and free from
pests, hence stand the winter better.
and in the spring have little or no
vermin to annoy them and get on and
kill their little ones.

MILEAGE OF IMPROVED ROADS

With Ohio Close Second-MostIy
Composed of Gravel.

According to information Just made
public by the director of the Office of
public roads, Indiana leads all the
states of the Union in mileage of i'm
proved roads. Most of the improved
roads of Indiana and Ohio are COM
posed of gravel and were, for the
most part, built by the farmers In
working out taxes. In many cases
the gravel Is dumped on the road
without proper spreading or rolling.
Roads constructed in this way seldom
give entire satisfaction.
The eight leading good roads states,
as shown by the data compiled by the
director, are as follows:

BRILLIANcY IN SHOE coLoRs BEAD TAssEL EASILY MADE
ish, Though Remarkably Pretty
Effects Are Produced.

Just as colors In hosiery have been
used with discretion by the woman
with talent for dress, so have colors
in our footgear. Some women have
adopted gayly colored tops for their
shoes with an eclat which carried
them off; others have impressed us
with the vulgarity of the new whim.
But one and all have fallen captive to
the new Colonial slipper, which was
introduced along with the dashing lit
tie Directoire coats, the Continental
hats, and other reminders of the Ma
poleonic period. 1t Is jaunty little
affair, which Is simply bewitching on
the right foot, slender little foot
with a well arched instep, for it
boasts broad pointed tongue, spread
ing out over the insted, high heel,

buckle = just such a buckle as the
more fortunate of us have handed
down for generations. We copyists of
today select such a bucgle in gum
metal, leather, old silver, or, IL we
wish to be very rash, rhinestones.
Can't you see just how fascinating
these slippers can be?
For evening, our satin slippers,
whether In black or color to match
the gown, are brilliant with buckles
of the glittering rhinestones, or cut
steel. The bow knots of platinum,
set with brilliants, are enhancing as
adornments to dainty satin slipper
Still another fancy calls for a button
of brilliants.
