PREPARE FOR WINTER EGGS
Let Hens Get Accustomed to Changes
and Back to Laying Before Cold
Weather Has Set In.

Preparations that are to be made
In the poultry yard for winter should
be made early in the fall so the hens
will become accustomed to the
changes and have time to get back
to laying before cold weather sets in.
Remove all the old litter and nest
ing material and burn it. If allowed
to accumulate in the yards 1t will
serve as a wholesale incubator for
disease germs, which may mean death
to your fowls. The best plan is al
ways to keep everything clean. 1t is
the cheapest, too.
After everything has been removed
from the house and it has had a
thorough scrubbing, give it a good
painting all over with whitewash and
a disinfectant made of crude carboliC
acid. If you cannot do this, any OF
the commercial disinfectants will do
Paint the roost with it an hour or two
before the hens go to roost and IL
will do away with the lice.
If you are planning any new build
ings or yards, they should be made
at once, for it will be fatal to the
production of winter eggs, If you waii
until cold weather comes. The hens
naturally require some time to gel
accustomed to new things.

n You DO Not sIeen Wi,

Should you be a restless sleeper.
should sleep come to you only at fits
and starts, try simple remedies. and
do not plunge into narcotics or stimu-
lants-at least not until the others
have failed. A famous English physi-
clan is quoted as saying 81 can cure
the worst case of insomnia in this
manner: When the patient has ro-
tired, give her a heaping bowl of
bread and milk, with just a dash of
salt to season 1t. This will draw the
blood from the head to the stomach,
1t will quiet the nerves and put the
entire body in healthy glow, and in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
the patient falls into healthy, rest
full sleep" Another tasty dose to take
which will induce sleep is a cold or.
ange just before retiring. There are
+. certain sedative as we'll as stimu,
lating qualities in an orange, and II
is probably one of the most efiica
cious fruits that can be taken for this
purpose.

WHY HE PASSED UNNOTICED
Fairy Had Discovered Sure Way Of
Making Himself lnVisibIe-Any-

Once upon a time there was a good
little girl.
And this good little girl asked her
mother If she could go and play in the
woods and her mother said yes.
So she went to play in the woods.
And she was walking along and
walking along, and what do you think
she met? A fairy! And she was aw-
fully surprised to meet a fairy, so she
said to the fairy:
Where do you come from?"
And the fairy said:
This is where live"
And the little girl said:
II never heard about any fairies liv-
ing in these woods"
And the fairy said:
mo, because nobody ever saw me
here before. But you are good little
girl, so let you see me-"
And the good little girl said:
How do you manage to be seen by
nobody, even though they walk right
past you every day?"

Do you suppose the romantic per
sonages Of the past suffered as we
do from colds in the head and other
kindred affections2 Picture Cleopa-
ira when preparing to apply the asp

ings to blow her nose violently. Fancy
Antony stopping in his Grafton over
the dead body of Caesar to sip glass
Of water or to slip into his mouth a
ju1ube lozenge from the sleeve pocket
of his toga. Imagine Henry v, unable
to breathe properly through his nose
on account Of a severe rheum con-
tracted in the moisty trenches OF
Agincourt, adjuring his troops, "Once
bore unto the breach, dear friends
once bore" or words to that effect
Or Juliet, languishing on her balcony
sneezing violently in the midst of her
ardent responses to Romeo, because
the nights had drawn in chill at We
roma and she was rather too lightly
clad. Such ribald fancies are unthink
able. Before the snuffies Romance
with averted face fits lightly away.

European poultrymen use potatoes
in feeding to a much greater extent
than do the poultrymen in this coun-

cooked and used rs the basis Of a
moist mash, thickened until the mash
is crumbly with meal, bran and mid.
