SEPARATE YOUNG FROM OLD
During Growing Period Young Stock
Needs to Be Protected From Old
Ones 70 Prevent Abuse.

A good many people who might 9TH
erwise be very successful with poultry
have their profit decreased because
they allow the young and the old stock
to remain undivided in the same
house, or yard, or both. During the
growing period the young stock needs
a great deal of food and needs to be
protected from the old ones, which, IL
allowed to do so, will abuse them
more or less. II free range is impos.
sible, provide separate yards and al
ways keep the young in a separate
building, If possible, or in separate
room at least. Pullets getting ready
to lay need more feed as a rule than
hens which have moulted out we'll.
because the pullets need to finish their
growth and maturity. as we'll as make
eggs. This is another reason why
the young and the old should be kept
separate.

There are many people In this

For instance" says Miss Lowell:
Two commercial travellers while in

the action of the vacuum brake.

stops the train declared the first
traveller.
!" Wrong. wrong!' shouted the sec.

Then, when the train arrived at
the station, they agreed to submit the
matter for settlement to the engineer.
That gentleman, leaning condescend-
ingly from his cab, listened with an
attentive frown to the two travellers
statement of their argument. Then
he smiled. shook his head and said:
Well. gents. ye're both wrong

a clever semblance Of lacing up the

A COIFFURE which deserves more
- than passing notice even by ex-
perts in matters of hair dressing, is
pictured here. 1t is, in fact, the
achievement of a specialist and its
beautiful lines and apparent simplicity
proclaim it as such.
Many women find themselves
crowned with fairly heavy growth
Of hair which will not for some rea-
son grow long. A couture like the
model shown here exactly fits such a
case.
Only a portion of the hair is waved
for this style; that is, the hair which
frames the face, and it is not waved
excepting as it is near the face. The
hair on the crown is combed smooth
ly over 1t.
To accomplish this effect, which ID
that of coronet about the face with
a mass Of smooth long puffs at the
back, the hair is combed in small
pompadour before it is waved At
any rate this is the procedure which
the amateur will find to be the easiest
way. Professional hair dressers have
the knack of marching" the hair into
waves that will arrange themselves
evenly. before the pompadour is ad-
justed.

GREEN Fp0D IN THE WINTER
Tnrnips, Cabbage, Beets and All Such
Vegetables Furnish Change Which
All Fowls Appreciate.

D ling spring, summer and fall it Ii
not difficult to supply variety OF
green food for fowls. as any kind Of
tender growing vegetation is relished
by them, but when cold weather sets
in it is very different and things
must be set aside during the fall sea-
son.
Turnips, cabbage, beets and all such
vegetables make good food and fur
nish a grateful change, which the
fowls appreciate. OF all the vegetables
we have had the best results with
cabbage. It is usually cheap in the fall
and well into the winter. We have
paid as much as 5 cents per head for
it because we realize that it is to our
advantage to supply the green food to
the fowls. The cost is a small item,
for one head will supply six hens for
h week or ten days.
It is our custom to suspend the head
so that the fowls viii be forced to
jump little to get a bite 1t Is left
hanging for two hours each day, and
then Is taken down-afor two reasons:
First, to prevent the fowls from eat
ing too much and becoming loose In
the bowels and. second, for the sake
of economy.
Possibly sprouted grain will be
found much cheaper than cabbage.
We always try to have sprouted oats
on hand to feed, but at times we are
caught without thing in that line
to feed. It is then that the cabbage
comes to the rescue. The best place to
sprout the oats in winter Is in q
warm cellar or cave. Do not attempt
to sprout in the barn, for the chances
are that it will never sprout. It takes
a temperature of about so degrees to
sprout the grain to the best advant.
