DON'T KEEP SCRUB POULTRY
Poultry Breeder Keeps Pure-Bred
Stock Because of Added Enthusi-
/ asm and Increased Profits.

The successful poultry breeder,
whether he breeds for market or for
fancy purposes, keeps pure-bred
stock A man who keeps pure-bred
fowls is proud of them. He takes de-
light in caring for them and grows
familiar with their needs. He sue
ceeds SO wen because he has become
6 real poultry fancier to the extent
that he has conceived liking for his
stock beyond its intrinsic value as
a maker of dollars for him. His en-
thusiasm leads him to give his fowls
the best Of care and attention, and as
a result his business grows tremen-
dously. Such poultry breeders induct
into the minds of others some of their
own earnestness of purpose and create
an interest in poultry raising among
them. This is one of the causes of the
increased demand for pure-bred poul-
try.
If you visit the owner of flock of
mongrel fowls Of many colors, shapes
and sizes you will find a man who is
not enthusiastic about the poultry
business. It will serve as an illustra-
ton of the fact that the scrub fowl
cannot arouse permanent and abiding
interest.

THE FOLLY OF DIscoNTENT
Vain longing and Aspirations, as
This Little Fable Shows, Are
Things Of Moment. Il

"A fashionable woman, coming from
the opera. in the rosy nest Of limou-
sine; passed group of laborers at
midnight Machines, like terrible ami
mails. were burrowing into the earth.
Steam was kissing, as If from the
mouths Of a million serpents. Rocks
flew in every direction. Torchlights
danced There was the thunder Of la
Dor. The night shift was in full
swing.
And the woman, glancing from the
window at a certain workman, for an
instant thought.
How l wish had that brawny la
borer's strength and JOY of life! How
III envy him his power. his physical
perfection, the wonder of his man
hood, his freedom from the shackles
that bind me- He is his own master,
while l am slave-the slave Of a
man despise!"
at that moment the laborer paused
long enough by the deep chasm where
his engine rocked, to glance into the
motor as 1t sped by him. And he
thought: s.'a'
"Oh, to be like her! To know leis-
sure and wealth and rest! To be free
from drudgery and toll, to come and
go as pleased! TO throw off the
chains of debt and worry, and have
the days and nights stretch ahead of
me like a field of fiowers!,
But in another instant the motor
was gone. The torchlights fiared
brighter than ever. And each had
forgotten the other. Judge.

be discouraged. After men and horses
have been in infected pens or yards,
their shoes and feet should be cleaned
and even disinfected before going upon
the highways or healthful premises.
Straying animals, like dogs and cats,
ought to be looked on as danger
sources. Hogs should be kept away
from streams that may run from in
fected yards.
These and other precautions that
are suggested by the extreme viru-
lence of the cholera germ should be
taken. They may seem rather far
fetched at times, but they are none

GROW YOUR OWN VEGETABLES
Tc Get Them Fresh From the Garden
Pays for All the Trouble involved
locate Near House.

Every farmer should have a vege-
table garden. The idea Of the garden
is not to save money-though it will
do that--but rather to have the vege-
tables when you want them, and to
have them fresh. How much more
pleasant it is to go out into the garden
and get fresh vegetables than to bring
them from the market where they have
lain for two days or week. There is
a spot on every farm that could be re-
served for garden large enough to
produce vegetables for home use.
The garden should be located near
the house. If it must be out in the
field it should not be near an alfalfa
field, for when the first crop of hay
is cut the grasshoppers will migrate
from the alfalfa field into the garden.
The spot selected should be rich, fer.
tile and easy to work. If irrigation can
be practiced, the garden should be laid
out in convenient manner for this
purpose.
L 1t is not necessary that every kind
OF vegetable be grown, but most Of
the common ones should be planted.
A good list of vegetables that should
be found on every farm includes as
paragus, lettuce, radishes, spinaca,
onions. cabbage, beans, peas, corn and
tomatoes. Vegetables that are not
lperishable are not so important, but it
would be good plan to grow them
also.

New Indian Animal Stories
The Great Bear andL Hold Tight.
Hy J~hn vi. Oslsiaes.

Long time ago. before people even
knew how TO make the paper on which
this story Is printed, the little boys and
girls who lived among the Indians OF
this country knew just where to look
In the sky FOR the stars which they
called the Great Rear, and also for that
other group of stars which they call
ed Little Hold-Iiyht" They were the
Same group of stars wc call to-day the
Great Bear and tho Little Fear.
OF course. In those days the old PEG
pie among the Indians knew all about
how the Great Bear and Little Hold
Tight got up in the sky. and this was
the story they told when the boys and
girls asked them questions:
After Old Man Coyote had killed the
first bear that ever was killed by tho
people (even though ola Man Coyote
was one OF the people only part OF
the time, when he asked to lie changed
into human form by the Yunw! Tsuus-
~, who rule the woods fairies. and even
though the leaves which covered over
tho bleeding bear turned red and then
the leaves OF all the forest trees turned
red rs warning1, there were three
hunters who said that they would kin
a hear too
You must not do that wicked
thing" said the cider of the council
TO the three young hunters. IF you,
too, succeed In killing bear, l know
that not even the Yunw Tsunsdl can
prevent the falling down to the ground
OF all the leaves OF the trees"
But those three hunters would not
agree TO leave the bear alone. but sct
out TO iind big one 10 kill The FIRST
bear they came upon, Just as the snow
OF the winter was making the ground
white. was very big mother bear
with baby bear. which was almost
Old enough to go of by itself. Almost
but not quite; 20 tho little boar fol-
lowed close at the heels o! his mother
Nov, when the mother bear heard
the three hunters talk about how they
would come close To her and Kill her
she said 10 her baby:
Now. little one. hold tight to me.
and come with mo as fast as YOU can
waddlei' Ana the little one did as
his mother said
SO they both ran as fast as they could
from the three hunters. And the three
hunters ran after the mother bear ana
Little liold-Tignt. All day they ran
snd at night they made camp just where
darkness came upon them. Next day
the thrc" hunters went out and sa IS

Hold Tight In tho snow; md they be-
gan TO follow them. So day after day
the hunters kept after the big bear
and the little bear, though they could
never come up to them.
When. after a long time. when the
snow was beginning TO go away, the
hunters drove the big bear and the
little bear up 10 the top of high
mountain. When they got up there, the
mother bear. who wns very tired and
very hungry BY this time. said TO the
little beur:
Now, Little Hold Tight, you take
hold OF the long hair of my back and
do not by any means let go until say
So" SO Little Hold Tight did as his
mother said.
Then right from the top of that
mountain into the sky stepped the
mother bear: and when they were safe
from the three hunters. the little bear
let go. Ever since that day. up in the
sky have stayed the Great Mother

EATING FOR HAIR
And other Ways of Getting and Keep
ing IL In Good Condition.

By little careful study OF the prop
CT foods for nourishmcnt. much can be
accomplished. Hair is alive Fortu-
nately it has no nerves or sensation
so may he singed or trimmed without
pain. Some have called hair "a vcge-
table prodnctiou.' because II starts
from sort Of bulb root. so here Is
where the nourishing begins.
Hair delights FIRST In mir and sun
shine. and II Is essential to 1t as to
our bodies. Water Is unquestionably
beneficial also. Several salts are found
in hair; when it turns gray or falls
out generally speaking. These salts
are lacking In tho system and should
bc supplied promptly through food
Hair draws its strength from the
blood. Cereals. cream. butter. bread
TAT meats. lemons. oranges, apples. Der
ries. lettuce. onions. celery. carrots
spinach and cabbage should be eaten.
And plenty OF fresh water. hot or cold
should lie drunk.
Next. look after the scalp. If there
is dandrun, shampoo every two weeks
until il Is better Protect the hair
from dust and dirt, strong soap must
not be used. y shampoo Jelly may be
made thus: Melt in one quart OF boil
ing water n small cake OF CASTLE soap
and tcaspoonful of boraX; simmer II
for i've minutes; add q few drops of
perfume if YOU like il; pour into wide
inouthcd bottles to cool. When ready
10 use have i large basin OF warm
water, lean over it, wet the hair. rub
some OF The jelly well into the scalp
until there Is a ilno lather: massage
| IL thoroughly and rinse thoroughly in
clear water. finishing of with cold wa
ter; dry 10y rubbing with warm clean
/ Turkish towels. no not hurry the pro-
ccss hy sitting before artificial heat.
IF dandrum sim persists. repeat the
