GETTING THE WINTER EGGS
Laying Hens Must Have Comfortable
House, Plenty of Room and Sun.
MI light and Ample Ventilation.

With eggs now close to SO cents Q
dozen, 1t stands US In hand to plan
our management SO that our flock will
do its best for the next few months.
1t is surprising what good care and
intelligent feeding will do In produc-
ing winter eggs, and on the other
hand no branch of farming will show
quicker losses than poor feeding and
management OF the winter layers.
Winter layers must have comfort
able house. plenty Of room, plenty Of
sunlight and ample ventilation. Too
much care cannot be given to provid-
ing good ventilation. Cold draughts
will check the egg production and
prove detrimental to thu health Of the
flock. .s
With a good, clean and dry house
and plenty Of egg-making foods, We
shall get eggs. On farms where We
can feed a variety of grain foods
and a mash once day composed Of
cut clover or, alfalfa steamed or mixed
with bran. cornmeal and green cut
bone, egg production is a simple mat
ter. Feed tempting variety OF grain
foods and meat foods, keep pure wa
ter before them and keep the floors
SO clean that any part may be used
for scratching floor and you may
rest assured that you have done your
part toward securing winter eggs. z u

pert eye Is really significant of the
prospect as to progress or cure in q
particular case OF badness is not the
condition, or color, or cleanliness of

of this fatty layer which underlies 1t.

scalp is freely movable over the skull

use OF them, writes H. p. Miller in the
Ohio Farmer. In the ration of fatten.s

value to place upon yield pumpkins

SUGGESTIONS FOR PLANNING.
Large Trsss Do Not Always Turn Out
% Be the Hest-laek Vitality
and Staying Power.

Don't think that the biggest tree
from nursery. is the best tree to
plant, says an expert. Extra size at
! the start does not necessarily mean
quicker growth or extra size there
after. Buy medium-sized, thrifty
trees. Overgrown giants are usually
disappointment-for while they are
big, they. often lack the vitality. the
roofing grasp, the staying power and
the adaptabiltty OF the younger and
smaller specimens. Besides. big trees
cost more. and they generally fail to
earn the extra cost !. #
Don't put a bundle Of loose, unpro-
tected trees in your wagon and then
drive I'VE miles to your home. That
is, don't do this II you expect the trees
to live and thrive after you plant them.
Never let the roots dry out, even for
q half hour. A short dry spell may
not kill them, but It surely detracts
from their vitality. When you get
home, don't, dump the trees on the
ground and let them lie exposed to the
sun and wind until you "unhitch'' or
get your dinuer. Get your spade at
once and "heel I'M the trees. cover
ing every root with moist earth. Then
attend to the team and your dinner.
Fuss and bother" you say? Perhaps,
but It pays. Il 81 u. 81,
Don't dig six-inch hole and try to
jam the tree roots into a space too
small to hold them comfortably The
labor thus saved isn't money gained.
Make the hole large and deep enough
to accommodate the roots, then spread
III all directions as they should go.
Don't set the tree too. deep or too
shallow, set it Just rght-that Is, q
little deeper than when It stood in the
nursery. ts3g

KEEPING Apples.

A good way to keep apples is to
pack them In forest leaves. Place a
good layer Of leaves first, then layer
OF apples and so alternate till the bar
rel is full. The leaves soak up any
moisture that may run from decaying
fruit. Keep in a cool place.

Beginning With Poultry.

A beginner in the poultry business
should start with few fowls and
gradually enlarge, as he learns the re-
quirements of the business. If one
begins with large number he is
liable to bring roup, lice, cholera and
other undesirable things into his
yards which will bring disaster.

was the principal speaker at the annual

reference to the recent White House

duty.
"Christ talked little of rights. but
much of duty" said the Commissioner.
"It has been said that the colored race
is more sensitive to religious emotion
than to consciousness of civic duty, I
venture to say that religious emotion
gets us but little way toward the So
luton of problems that confront us
today"

hour after sunset and one hour

Obey the orders and signals of
traffic officers. They have alb

traffic at street intersections.
See that your motor is shut off
when your car is left unattend-

Remember, it is better to over
obey the regulations than to

The latter is punishable by fine
and the former leaves no i'll
