RIVER TRIPS POPULAR.

Warm weather has had the effect
of bringing summer time travel TO
the Wilson Lone of boats. The COM
pany is now running its regular
spring schedule which provides for
late boats on Saturday and Sunday
nights. These give opportunity to
those who wish to escape the heat of
the city to take a pleasant ride to
Philadelphia and return without leav-
ing the boats on these evenings. Phil
adelphians are taking the same ad-
vantage and making trips TO this
city. On May 22 the regular summer
schedule with late trips each evening
will go into effect. The Sunday trips
are proving especially attractive to
large numbers o. pleasure seekrs.

graceful sweep of the roof serves
dual purpose. 1t not only pro-
vides a covering for the porch, but
It likewise makes the house appear
less high than it actually is. A
pleasing porch effect is secured by
means of two massive stucco
columns which rest on a flooring
of cement. The dormer, with its
easement windows. and the canopy
entrance supported by wooden
brackets are notable features of
the exterior.
In addition to good-sized
pantry, coat closet, toilet and
vestibule there are a central hall
and three rooms on the first floor
The commodious hall, which pro-
vides easy access TO every portion
of the house, separates the living
room from the dining room. This
advantageous arrangement may be
found quite often in the more pre-
tentious homes, but is rarely seen
in a cottage no larger than the
one depicted. From the hall, the
living room is approached thru
French doors. For its attractive
ness. this room depends on its
opening TO the porch and upon n
fireplace Of pleasing design. The
dining room is delightfully."- located
in the front of the house, and the
windows and doors are so ar
ranged as to provide plenty of
wall space for buffet, serving table,
chairs, etc. The kitchen ana
pantry beyond are both well light
cd and convenient.

WHY NOT CAPoNIzE TURKEY
improvement In Quality and Increase
In Size Would Make Industry
More Profitable.

There Is every reason to believe
that caponizing other poultry would
prove as advantageous as it does with
chicken cocks.
The turkey cock, particularly, would
be a good subject to operate on, and
II the increase in size and quality
should prove as great as in the capon.
lied cockerel l am sure that 1t would
make turkey growing vastly more
profitable than 1t is under normal
circumstances, says Missouri writer
in Farm Progress.
So far as l know, no such practice
has been set up In this country or
elsewhere, but If the emasculating
makes 80 much finer bird than the
ordinary cockerel, it seems to me that
the improvement in quality and In
crease in size would surely be as great
relatively in the turkey males.
! am presuming that the operation
would be as simple in a turkey cock
as in the chicken. OF course, there is
no reason to believe that the turkey
capOnized would be affected in any
wise differently from the chicken
cock.
l am quite sure that. anyone who
will caponize some early-hatched tur-
key cocks this summer and market
them as capons next fall will find 1t
a paying operation.

During warm weather always pro-
vide ample shade. ANY shed will do
for old ducks if 1t is dry. always
supply plenty Of bedding, such as
straw. For nests / place ten-foot
boards about a foot from the wall
and leave openings at each end so
the ducks win not pile up and break
the eggs. This space is partly filled
with straw in which the ducks bury
their eggs.
When l have more than one flock
| mate the birds about January, just
as | plan to keep them; that is,
make no changes after once having
mated the f1ocks. If this is not done
early, any attempt to break up a flock
into smaller ones may result unfavor-
ably and any other attempt to unite
smaller flocks is likely to be just as
undesirable, because each set will sep
arate as soon as they are not watched
1t is therefore highly important to
form the fiocks by New Years time.
l always keep plenty Of oyster she'll
in the laying quarters. From July 1
to January l ducks need scarcely any
food If they have access to a good
pond. AS ducks are usually shy, es-
pecially at night, they should have a
shed well protected from any posi-
BILE night movements on the part of
men and animals. If not so provided
they will be excited all night and
keep the whole neighborhood awake.
Always during the laying season I
keep my ducks shut up until at least
seven o'clock so the eggs will not be
dropped outside Of the house.

SOME GOOD POULTRY FACTS
Early Hatehed PuIlets Produce Egas
in Fall and Early Wlnter-Best
Time for Hatehins.

Pullets must be well matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the fall
before cold weather sets in will, as a
rule, lay all winter.
1t is the early hatched pullets that
produce eggs in the fall and early
winter, when prices are high.
February, March and April are the
months to do your Matching in order
to secure early Matched pullets.
Yearling and two-year-old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall, as they
are molting at that time, and the
feed they consume goes not only to
keep up the energy and life of the
birds but also to put on OF grow a
new coat of feathers.
In properly matured pullets all sur
plus energy beyond that needed to
meet the requirements of the body is
available for the production of eggs.

wv HEN E. M. Newman, a travel
A lecturer, started through the

but he had his troubles, for the Mo-

Writing in the New York Sun, Mr..
Newman says Of his trip:
Our first experience with the Mo
hammedans was when we stopped on
a roadside between .Jaffa and Ramleh,
the modern name for Arimathea,
whence came Joseph, who offered his
tomb at Jerusalem for the burial of
Jesus Christ. We saw a man driving
two camels that were dragging a sharp
stick through the earth and turning
the scrubby soil into burrows. 1t was
subject that answered several re-
quirements of the desirable picture.

But we found, as we often found
along the roads of Palestine. that the
gentleman had been spoiled for our
purpose by two agencies-his own
peoples superstition and the foreign
ers with their jingling purses. Too
many tourists have passed along these
roads taking it for granted that they
would never pass that way again, and
some of them have distributed money
with prodigal hand. The tourist
with little hand camera has too often
tossed the peasant quarter where a
few cents would have done as we'll.
But it was not the money that

knowing about the cinema camera, he
started off and gave his land the fast

of Moses. While had no way Of an

suited my purpose. One need no long

tionary camera; 1t is the day of the

peasant didn't know that he was being
"immortalized" as a mighty plowman
in Palestine for the amusement Of
American audiences-and perhaps he
had never heard of America, except

Christian dogs with cameras that
yearned for the souls of camels.
Trying to Pose Ruth"
One day as we were approaching
Bethlehem we looked into a valley of
ripening grain and silvery olive trees
There are the fields of Boaz where
Ruth cleaned" said our dragoman, and
perhaps association OF ideas caused US
to halt at the roadside. A woman was
slLtlng on the ground before pile or
wheat and char. She had been
threshing the little bundles Of grain
that her daughter, an attractive girl o.
perhaps fourteen years, had CLEANED
in the large fields near by. Here was
Ruth of 1914. At least we thought so
and Immediately entered into negotia

Their Great scheme.

A local couple. recently married, hit
upon a scheme for saving what they
figured was just about right. Each
month they would save a certain sum
each day. The first day one cent, the
second day two cents. third four cents.
Each day the amount was to be doubled
until the end of 80 days. By that time
they would have a tidy sum laid away.
Before starting the husband fig
ured out just how much would be &C.

Gus work he found the amount to be
something like $5,3OO,OOO, so after con.

waders for Troops.

During their war with Russia, the
Japanese troops were supplied with
waders made OF mulberry leaf as a
protection against INJURY to health
caused by wet feet in the trenches.
Particulars now come of an improved
form of wader, of British invention.
The new wader is made of a fibrous
substance much cheaper than null
berry leaf. 1t is light. warm, water
proof, antiseptic, and impervious to
attack by insects. A pair Of the
waders made of this material weighs
about two and one-han ounces. The
waders ave made in two sizes-me-
dium and large. The wader is kept in
position by buttons or braces. For
occasions like a bayonet charge. when
the utmost freedom for the leg and
soot is necessary, the portion Of the
wader worn over and above the knee
would be turned down.

There is no trouble about rearing
ducks. The brooding time is only
about half as long as that for chick
ems and the ducklings do not need
nearly as much heat in the brooders.
Ducklings should always have a bulky
