WHAT TO READ AND
HOW TO READ IT

This is subject on which one could
write almost indefinitely without say
ing all that could be said on it, but
] will content myself with only n few
thoughts.
First, of course, is the Bible, and it
claims our most careful attention and
study
On cur table should be some Of our
leading newspapers and magazines,
FOR the only way to keep up with the
world is through these
In reading we should not give our
attention to some murder or wife
beating case but pay attention to
wka. the world has done, is doing and
ia going to do.
or course, Il womanS opinion does
not amount to much in politics Csavc
in old England) but | should say if
one desires to study politics or be
politician, he should take newspapers
representing each political party. lie
then can see all sides cf the questions
at issue and fish out the middle for
himself
A person that can only see one side
of thing and sometimes n very dark
side at that, doesn't amount to much.
On our shelves should be some Of
the classical books by Scott, Dickens,
Whittier and others too numerous to
mention.
In reading any fiction our only aim
should not bc to find whether they
married and lived happy ever after,
but it should be to lind the motive Of
the author in writing the book-what
he wished to teach us.
Some Of us think we haven't time
to read, but If just W of the odd
moments were used for reading. a
great deal might be accomplished
For instance, two boys were sent
every day to IA farm house to get
milk. They always had to wait
few moments while the housewife
prepared the milk. On the table was
large book, ore boy employed his
time in reading it through, while the
other spent his time in playing.
There are some men who go down
town and sit on dry goods boxes and
discuss some question about which
they have never had time to read,
meanwhile chewing or smoking nj the
rate of expense that would buy some
good books or papers.
Then, there is the woman who runs
in the back door and hasn't minute
to stay. but just came to tell you
| about the latest quarrel between neigh
Dor Jones and his wife. which is a
secret she wouldn't, on any account,
tell anyone but you, and when she
leaves you find she has not only cheat
ed you out Of your reading hour, but
wasted the time in which she might
have been reading.
There is also the person who reads
necessarily and is just about as much
to be pittiedsas the one who never
reads, because he takes no time in
which to utilize what he does read
and bores his neighbors by unloading
it all on them regardless of whether
they are interested in the subjects he
talks of. But I am overbalancing my
promise to write only few thoughts,
so adieu.

WANT
HELP FROM STATE
Fanciers' Association Quizzing Can
didates to Learn Their At
titude on Question

PENNSYLVANIA poultrymen have con-
cluded that it is due alone to their
modesty that the State has never
given the poultry industry recognition
worth while. They have never asked
for State support, it just occurs 10
them, and the fault they admit is
therefore all their own. But If the
State defaults in this matter in the
future, the responsibility will rest with
others than the poultrymen.
Local poultry associations in Penn
sylvania are asking questions of the
candidates for State office. The Johns
town Fanciers' Association has ap-
pointed committee to interview the
state candidates and learn of their at
titude on the following points:
Ftrst-State aid for. poultry asso-
Citations holding annual shows
Second-Proper equipment and
buildings at Pennsylvania State Col
lege in keeping with the extent and
value of the poultry product in this
State.
Third-Creating a bureau of poul-
try husbandry in the Department of
Agriculture and the appropriation of
funds sufficient for the maintenance
of same.

BEWARE OF OVER
CROWDINC POULTRY
This Condition Kills More Birds
Than All Other Evils of the
Yard Combined

So many chickens are we'll attended
during the early period of their
growth, and they steer clear of sick
ness. and look like developing into big,
sturdy birdss then. for some reason
unknown to the attendant, they gradu-
ally loose vigor, go off their feed,
droop their wings. and chirp in a
p ainttve manner Often the cause of
81 ch a change in the birds is traceable
to the fact that overcrowding has
been permitted-a condition that an
nually kills more chickens than all
"ther evils of the poultry yard COM
bined.
If chickens are allowed to outgrov
their sleeping quarters. sickness
among them must be expected. What
the growing youngsters require to
keep them lively and Vigorous is
roomy and airy sleeping quarters. So
many people after removing the brood
hens from their coops allow the
youngsters to occupy the latter and
for time the little ones farewell, and
then they begin to droop. 1t is the
close confinement to stuffy coops
night after night to which the mis-
chief is due.
Rather than allow the chicks to go
on occupying the coops in which they
were brooded, the attendant will do
well TO place them in a roomy shed,
the floor of which is we'll covered with
fine ashes or dry sand, and on top of
which is placed a good covering of
chaff or other litter. Several brOods.
after leaving the care of hens may be
placed in a building such as an ordi-
nary scratching shed, and there they
may be allowed to sleep. During per-
iods of unfaVorable weather there
could be no better place to exercise
the youngsters. Throw their grain
into, the litter and thus make work

Do Not Feed Fattening
Food During Melting Period

No special formulas are needed for
feeding fowls through the molting
season, contrary to quite general
belief, But the rations should not
consist of fattening foods, such as
corn and buckwheat, exclusively.
While growing new feathers the pro-
tein element of food is needed AS
much as while producing eggs, and
this should be furnished in the form
of meat, meal or scrap. skim milk and
the grains of good protein content.
The whole wheat products, oats,
gluten feed, oil meal, alfalfa and
clover are all good. In short, feed
the fowls as we'll as though they were
laying.
Neither are any special formulas
necessary for breeders, but if they
can he induced to eat them. either
whole or ground, oats may we'll form
considerable portion of their grain
food. They should have ample range
and not be forced for laying through
the Fall and early winter; to this end
but little meat should be given.

Hens Attitude Tells
Her Laying Abilities

The hens attitude tells to very
large extent whether she is a good or
a poor layer. A sluggish, listless and
slow bird is always a poor layer. On
the other hand, a singing. contented.
alert, quick, snappy and nervous fowl
is generally good layer. Some
breeds are of course not as nervous
or quick in the movements as others
and allowance should always be made
for this fact. The larger the breed,
the slower it's movements. Those in
dividuals that are the first off the
roosts in the morning and the last on
them at night are the best layers,
all other factors icing equal. Those
individuals that are noticed to he
busy all day long, scratching in the
litter, eating and drinking, are un-
questionably the best layers.

Girls in their teens often do foolisf

they have an excess of vitality anf
their brains are excited and theil
imagination unduly developed.
Given the right occupations, til,
right reading, the right diversions ant
the wise guidance they should have
and indiscretion.
Social distractions under the care
of older people. outdoor sports, dane.
ing, music and nature studies in the

of a girl like this. so that she would
not be seeking a clandestine CORE
spondence with a young man she has
never seen.
Fortunate the Young Man Was Not
Evilminded
There is nothing vicious in her let
ter; but the most lamentable conse.
quences could easily result if tho
young man had been evilmindet
enough to lead her on to further fol.
lies.
When any girl feels tempted
write letter. or communicate with
man secretly. and hide the matte.
from her parents, she is on the path
to danger; she is on the road which
leads to folly, and more than possible
shame.
No man respects such a girl.
If he meets her advances and ac-
ceeds to her wishes to enter into Sc
cret correspondence, he does so be-
cause he wants to see how foolish and
silly she will be- and he is not her
friend, but her worst enemy. Men al
ways want to make the advances to
women. 1t is their nature. And they
hold in light esteem any woman of
any age who usurps this privilege.
Mothers, look after your young
daughters.
Talk to Your Children of These Hid
den Pitfalls
Become their intimate friends and
Confidants. Talk to them on all these
subjects; give them interesting books
to read; give them helpful and health
full occupations and pleasures; give
them the society of the opposite sex,
but guard them through all these
years of adolescence. 1t is not the girl
with sensible, wise, tender mother,
who writes such a letter as the one
