THE TELEPHONE GIRL

The telephone girl sits still in her

where. Hears all the gossip, she hears
all the news, she knows who is happy
and who has the blues; she knows all
cur sorrows, she knows all our joys,
she knows every girl who is chasing
the bows; she knows all of our troub-
les, she knows of our strife, she knows
every man who is mean to his wife
she knows every time we are out with
the boys; she hears the excuses each
employs; she knows every woman
who has dark past; she knows every
man who's inclined TO be FAST; in
fact, there's secret meath each
saucy curl of that quiet demure look-
ing telephone girl. If the telephone
girl would tell all that she knows she
would turn half our friends into bitter

TASK OF RAISING PHEASANTS
Live on Insects and Weeds
Ringnecks Are Hardy.

Ringneck pheasants are very hardy /;
they live in zero weather in an open
field without shelter, and each hen
averages eighty-five eggs a season.
Eggs are Matched and raised by
chickens, and the birds mature in
six months. They weigh about three
pounds at maturity, are free from
most diseases, and live on one-tenth
of the amount required by chickens.
Pheasants are farmers friends !;
they live on insects and weed seeds.
Pheasant eggs hatch in about twenty.
three days, and the birds sell at a
dollar pound in market. They are
much easier to raise than chickens.
Every law for the protection of game
should make 1t lawful TO keep In cap
tivity any bird for the purpose of rails
ing birds of that kind, and provide
that any person who matches birds in
captivity may sell. ship, or otherwise
dispose of them.

OF such laws, with the result that

FEED FOR DUCKS AND GEESE
One Of Best Rations for Winter 10
Bran. Shorts and Corn Meal,
Mixed With Vegetables.
(By C. e. BROWN.)

Geese and ducks are very similar
in their habits of eating. Some recon-
mend feeding the grain whole, but we
prefer feeding it ground, especially in
winter, as this enables us to mix the
green feed with it. Bran, shorts and
corn meal or barley meal, equal parts
by weight, mixed with clover leaves or
boiled vegetables. is one of the very
best rations for winter. Milk mixed
with 1t improves it greatly. We have
secured fairly good results from feed
ing boiled roots, shorts and milk, but
the addition of small amount of grain

During the past few years several
of the states have had under consid
Grafton the question of including in
the regular courses a branch devoted
to poultry culture. This has been met
with favor in some parts of the coun-
try, but the idea has not been tried
out enough yet to prove whether or
not 1t will be of value to the pupils.
1t should be understood, however, that
the main purpose of such courses is
to benefit only those who intend to
go into farming Cor poultry farming)
upon completion OF their school edu-
cation.
The general plan is to include such
course in the last two years of the
pupils grammar school education. By
the time that the pupils have reached
these grades it is presumed that they
are ready to absorb the more material
things of life and to more readily reap
the benefits from such course
There is one place, however, in the
schools where poultry is not receiving
the proper amount of attention. This
is in the rural schools, where the prac-
tice of poultry keeping should be
taught to every pupil in the school
and should form a part of the regular
courses-and an important one, too.
We can readily understand that all
the teachers in these school have all
that they can do to keep up the regu-
lar work of the pupils. The plan given
below, however, if started with the
right idea in the minds of the pupils,
will not result in any more work on
the part of the teacher other than
careful watch on the progress of the
contest" Interest in the work may
be lost at times and this is the only
thing that the teacher will have to
watch-to avoid any tagging and to
keep the pupils keyed up to the proper
point of interest in their work.
In the fist place, the matter should
be taken up with the entire school
and the proposition put up to them.
They should be told that the scheme

10 to allow two groups of pupils each
to have pen of about six hens and a
rooster. II there are eight grades in
the school, the grades would be di-
vided equally so that the First Third,
Fifth and Seventh grades would have
one pen and the Second, Fourth Sixth
and Eighth grades would have the
other pen. A small prize of some kind
would be offered to the group whose
pen made the best showing during the
school term, it being understood that
each group would have entire charge
OF the birds in their pen and would
take care of them. One of the older
pupils would be appointed to keep
track of the eggs laid and of the
money spent for feed for each pen.
Cheap colony houses could be built
for the pens and they should be sepa-
rated from each other so that the hens
from one pen would not go into the
other house to lay. The teacher could
see that sensible coops were built
for the birds and after the contest was
started all I'll at would have to be done

popular with the pupils, it is probable
that the parents of some of them
