Every farm where poultry Is raised

fairly intelligent operator win do good

In order to derive the best results
from the farm flock at least a goodly

be Matched during late February and
March lat least In the midwest terri

WATER AND LIGHT.
Why One Can See Deep Into the Sea
When High Above II.


The reason why one Is able to see to
a greater depth in water when he Is
at a considerable height above it than
when he stands on level with 1t Is be-
cause of the absence of pronounced re-
fraction by the molecules of water.
still water, looking exactly downward
toward the center OF the earth, will
see an object deep In the water by
means of rays of light that have been
reflected vertically upward. Therefore
there is no refraetion or bending the
rays out OF their straight course from
object TO eye.
But If you attempt to see an object at
the bottom of lake when standing on
the bank the light has to traverse a
much greater thickness Of water,
which quenehes portion, or maybe
all. of the waves of light, and all not
quenched are bent to quite a distance
out OF the original straight line. And the
well known index OF refraction Of light
OF of one kind from water to air Is
1856, or the ratio of the sines Of angles
Of incidence and refraction.
Proof: Place straight stick In
basin, and it will appear to be straight
as 1t really Is; pour in water and the
stick VIII appear to be bent by the
phenomena attending refraction. For
without refraction Of light by glass.

Mother-in-Law Question Still Supreme

husbands happiness at the price of
putting up with his old mother GER
tainly gives him every reason to doubt
her affection.
Precisely the same thing may be
said of mems relations to their moth
ers-in-law. 1t would seem that the
man who truly loved his wife would
look upon her mother as the one indi-
vidual who had bestowed upon him
the most precious gift on earth. But,
on the contrary, most men hate their
mothers-in-law at sight and treat
them as If they had done them an ir-
reparable injury by bringing into the
world the women they married.
Which is uncomplimentary, to say the
least of it, to their wives.
1t is a strange thing that neither
husbands nor wives seem to realize
that when they have their in-laws they
are jeapordizing their own happiness.
With all but the most dastardly, the
love of our parents is interviewer with
the very fibres of our souls, and hus-
bands or wives try to destroy that
their peril.

Practically all men feel the same

They resent their wives ill-treatment
of their relatives, and you will never
find woman who is on good terms

repaid a thousandfold by his devo-
ton TO her.
Nor is there any one thing that a
husband can do that makes his wife
so grateful to him as for him to be

to her mother and father. She knows
it is his final proof of love for her
that makes those that are dear to her

All the -orfolk effects are exceedingly
fashionable this season and here is a
quite new and most interesting gown
which shows that feature. Here, it
is made from the gabardine that is such
favorite material, with collar and cuffs
of faille silk. 1t is an eminently
practical, useful garment as we'll as
a smart one; while the weather re-
mains warm, it can be worn both upon the
street and within doors, and later, it
can be made to do duty beneath the
separate coat. Blouse and skirt are made
separately but joined by means of the belt;
the plaits are laid in the skirt, but those
on the blouse are applied and passed over
the belt to be held by buttons. The
Puritan collar and cuffs make a pretty
feature.

The only way 1t can be solved is by

this mans wife really loved him

and paltry love that is not capable of

Great Demand for New
Constipation Remedy

They say that the advent Of the "senta-
mel tablet as vegetable substitute for
calomel has resulted in an extra raordinary
demand for this remarkable product Il
seems to have made a hit particularly
with those afflicted with chronic consti-
patton, who were quick to recognize its
advantages over calomel and the usual
laxatives.
Sentanel tablets, aside from their eff
cacy, doubtless owe their success largely
TO tendency to aid in bringing about
natural functioning-instead Of encour-
aging the 'cathartic habit" Also, INSTEAD n
OF inturing the membraneous lining of
the organs involved, they exert a healing

then he threw back an opening a
trap door in the floor beneath. Inez
watched him until he disappeared
into this wide hole. Then she glided
out to the veranda. She poured out q
tiny drink and tossed it off. She lit q
cigarette.
Before her lay a partially plowed
field. She heard the Jingle of al OK
chain. She heard a quavering voice
and then suddenly from the rear Of
the bungalow a strange trio entered
the arena of events.
Ponto, fat little Mexican - who
boasted ever of his Aztec blood -
crawled behind a primitive and inef-
fective plow.
And the team! A strangely as
sorted team was this. On the right,
with its head thrust through a wooden
yoke, was an OK. On the left hand
side, also with his head thrust through
a wooden yoke and with his brawny
shoulders tugging, ever tugging, at the
plow, there was hitched-a man.
Ponto, cursing, raised his whip and
brought down his lash time after time
with strict impartiality upon the shoul-
ders of the OK and upon the bare back
OF the man.
Hernandez Just then appeared on
the veranda bearing with him large
wicker dress-suit case.
Hernandez, slowly smoking a pana-
tela, scanned the horizon. Suddenly
his eyes narrowed. He strobe swiftly
into the living room and as swiftly
back again and in his hands he bore
a pair OF up-to-date binoculars. He
held them to his eyes and carefully
adjusted them-keeping them trained
upon a speck, a mere speck, that had
appeared upon the surface Of the sea,
With bound he was off, circling
the bungalow in the opposite direction
from that which Ponto and his ill-as-
sorted team had taken. He met him
half way.
"Ponto," he exclaimed, I'VE shall
have visitors. Unhitch the brute. Get
pickaxes-get spades"
Hernandez led the way to the fore
ground between the veranda end of
the bungalow and the shore. He
pointed to a well-plowed strip of
ground.
