GOOD WINTER LAYERS
Many Things Needed for Winter
Egg Production.
P~oultrymen Must Look Carefully Into
Proper Housing and Care Of Birds
to Secure Greatest Returns
From Their FIocks.

The winter season is rapidly ap-
preaching and poultry raisers in order
to have a successful season and get
the greatest returns from their flocks
must look carefully into the proper
housing and car Of the birds during
the cold, blustery days which will
soon be here.
The time is also rapidly approaching
when diseases peculiar to the feath-
cred beauties, and large money yield
ers, will develop. Should you not be
In q position to exterminate the mala-
dies quickly, all your expected profits
will be turned into losses and the sea-
% made a failure. Should this be
the case you will at once set up the
cry there is no money in chickens"
This is up to you. If you sit idly by
during these bright, beautiful days
and give no heed to the future COM
fort of your fowls. do not complain
when you do not get eggs when they
are a luxury or set up a wall when
your birds are picked off by the raw
ages of disease. Roup time will soon
be here and this is indeed a most
dangerous disease among chickens.
See that your houses are protected
against all drafts and that the damp
ness is entirely excluded. Do not be
afraid to give the birds plenty Of
good fresh air, but do not permit
drafts. The open style of poultry

The market for fresh eggs is rapidly
reaching a high-water mark and this

ERUPTION ON cHILD's BODY

MUST HAVE GRASSES
Great Question Of Keeping Up Fertil
ity Of Soil for Future Crops
Solved Only in One Way.
(By w. r.

(By w. r. CELEBRITY
In attempting to farm without grass
es the farmer is lifting without a lev
er; he is pulling a load with the
weight on the hind wheels; he is cut
ting with a dull AK.
With grass as a basis, grains, fruits,
vegetables and meat, all the triumphs
Of farming are possible. The first
thing | would advise all those who con-
template buying a farm to look into,
would be its capacity to grow clover
and other nutritious grasses, and learn
what mea would be available for fer
tilizing such meadows.
The grass a be converted into
milk and its products, into beef, pork
or mutton and returned to the land in
the form Of n for the grain
crops, or you may sell the hay by the
ton, according to the facts of your par
ticular locality.
| would not advise anyone to think
of buying a farm that did not have at
least 20 acres of grass land that would
produce at least two tons of hay per
acre under favorable conditions.
The greatest thrift and profit made
by farmers off their farms in ten Of
the leading agricultural states that l
have visited during the past two years
have been made by those who make
dairying and the growing of live stock
their chief reliance.
The great question: Of keeping up
the fertility of the soil fer future
crops a be solved in only one way
that is by the growing Of more clovers
and grasses and feeding more live
stock and returning all of the manure
thus made to the fields.

ONE RECIPE FOR WHITEWAsH
position Used on Lighthouses and
Other Exposed Places.

This is the recipe the government
use for whitewash used on it's light
houses and other places exposed to the
weather, and it does not peel off:
One half a bushel of lime slaked
with boiling water. Keep covered
while shaking. to keep the steam in.
Mix all together and then pour five
gallons of hot water over it. After it
Is thoroughly stirred, allow it to stand
for 4S hours. Applied hot.
Strain the mixture and add a peck
OF salt dissolved in warm water, one
half a pound Of Spanish whiting, and
n pound Of glue. previously melted
over q fire, and three pounds OF
ground rice, boiled to a thin paste.

prepared to have eggs when they are
wanted. In order to accomplish this
several things are necessary. First,
keep the hens healthy and vigorous,
feed them properly and keep them
busy. Idle hens eve pay for their
board and keep.
Study the p~eculiarities and prefer
ences of the fowls and endeavor to
give them just what they want. Re-
member you cannot get eggs by falling
to attend to the many details con-
nected with the poultry yard and gen.
eral inattention to business. A few
hours each day, morning and night,
will accomplish wonderful results. See
to it that your part in the program
Of egg production is carried out and
the hens will do the rest.

TO Destroy Ants in Beehives.

It is not common to find ants in the
nood Of a beehive in the spring
months. They collect there and breed
o account of the warmth given off by
the bees. Remove the hood and brush
off the ants once a week until rid Of
them.
To keep the moths out OF the hives,
simply keep the hives occupied with
bees and the moths will have very
little chance Of making their abode
with them in the hives.

In Velvet and Steel.

In it's latest expression the coquet-
fish neck bow is a cute little affair
in black velvet ribbon edged at both
sides with tiny steel beads or with a
little steel buckle. Some of the bows
are of inch-wide velvet ribbon, formed
into four loops and lacking ends. But
others are composed only Of seven or
eight ends radiating from a steel cir
clet. The metal edging prevents the
narrow velvet from curling or twist
ing, and although beads are tiny, to
attach them is easy. Moreover, the
use of steel on neckwear is rather
novel fashion, and that is what the
average woman is looking for.

Iron Clothes With Their Feet.

A writer in the Wide World Maya
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet! Themen
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments Except for a long
handle, the irons were shaped like the
ordinary f1at-iron, only larger. A solid
block Of wood rested on the top OF
the iron, and on this the men placed
one foot, guiding the iron in the de
sired direction by means of the
handle. For the sake of convenience,
ironing boards were raised only few
inches from the ground, and however
strange the method may seem to US
the work was done very well and very
expeditiously.

Street gowns of serge or broadcloth
