year mated next spring with two-year-
old hens will give you strong matches.
These two-year-old hens may not lay
so many eggs as your early-hatched
year-old hens will lay, but the num-
Der of poults that will live over those
of the younger hens, though the latter
be mated with two-yearold toms, may
astonish you, and yet these early
Matched hens of this years hatch
should be kept over for the making
of the future good two-year-olds. Let
the turkeys roost in airy quarters I'M
til the cold nights come, then give
them a shelter dry and free from
drafts, though they yet need plenty
of air. One good tom will be sufficient
to keep over with seven or eight hens,
though good results are obtained by
keeping ten hens with one vigorous
male. When feeding up the market
turkeys do not allow the breeders the
same ration. Breeders must be kept
only in good condition, never allowed
to get too fat.

ever it occurs in connection with the

PACK POULTRY FOR MARKET
Whatever Mars Appearance Of Bird
Lowers Price-Wrap in Paper so
Fowls Do Not Rub.

There is an art in packing. Care
lessly packed birds go on market out
of shape, bruised and unsightly where
jammed together. Whatever hurts the
appearance of a bird lowers the price,
Never pack birds between straw or
hay, because every straw cuts into
the skin and flesh, giving a fresh bird
the appearance Of modification al
ready set in. Poultry must sell upon
appearance. To pack Alright place
packing stuff first on the bottom Of
the barrel, for a barrel Is always bet
ter than a box. Over this lay strong
paper, on this your first layer of poul-
try, every space filled so that while
the fowls do not rub, yet they are too
tight to move. When full spread over
another layer of paper, then straw,
then put on the lid. Each fowl is
packed best If wrapped in paper made
for that purpose. Some packers place
cracked ice In with the chickens. In
hot weather ship by express, in cold
by freight, though you must look
close after the time for delivery and
the market they must go on.

POULTRY READY FOR WINTER
Market the Old Hens, as They VIII
Not Lay During Cold Weather.
Thoroughly Clean House.

Get your poultry ready for winter.
The old hens should be marketed, as
they will not lay during the winter
and the market for them is still good
Clean up the henhouse, cleaning out
the rubbish, fumigating, spraying or
renewing the nests, whitewashing the
inside of the house and painting the
outside. If the garden has nothi &
the hens can destroy, spade up the old
lettuce bed and let them eat the grubs.
1t will be good for both hens and gar
den. Give a small dose Of EPSON salts
In little moist food once week dur
ing the month and plenty of fresh wa
ter at all times. Our chief error is in
using for broilers the tender early
Matched hens that would give winter
eggs, and keeping the profitless old
hens. BOOSTERS are better on their
backs on a platter than eating good
food all winter. Keep just one or two
for spring when setting time ap-
proaches. If you have any doubts about
the wisdom of this consult the poultry
man.

WALLoWlNG PLACE FOR HENS
Road Dust is Not Recommended for
Chickens as II is Composed
Largely of Dropplngs.

A dust bath under a south window
makes an ideal wallowing place for
the chickens on a wintry day Do
not gather up the road dust, it is the
moist and mellow earth which the
birds need to keep their feathers
clean and the skin in healthy condi-
ton; road dust is largely composed of
droppings, and, however fine, it is not
best for the chickens. Enough earth
should be brought in before freezing
to change the dust bath during the
winter. If a little insect powder, or
crude carbolic acid is added, the dust
bath is an aid in keeping down lice.

Thinking is a Tonic
By II. AddIngton Bruce

| by ii. AuulnBtUn DTuCe
II there Is any one fact that recent
scientific research has definitely
proved 1t Is that the harder man
thinks-provided he is interested In
what he is thinking about-the rich
er his blood will become, the more
rapidly 1t will circulate. and the more
smoothly will run the processes Of his
physical organism.
Most people labor under the false
belief that the brain is delicate or
gan, and to think hard for any length
of time, puts dangerous tax upon 1t.
As a matter OF fact mental underef-
fort is far more likely to be harmful
than mental overstrain.
So long as a man does not worry
he can think as hard as he pleases
without any fear of injury to his
health On the contrary he may rest
assured that his health will be i'm
proved.
Hard thinking is actually body
building. Indeed, there are some
scientists who go so far as to declare
that men can get along with little or
no physical exercise, so long as they
keep exercising their minds by think
ing about the things that most inter-
est them.
This holds true in every case,
whether 1t be the developing Of an in
vention, the writing of book, the
solving of abstruse problems, the
planning of an advertising campaign,
or what not.
But for that matter we do not have
to rely on the opinions of few scien-
lists for proof that hard thinking
never hurts anyone, but on the con-
trary, thoughens the constitution and
helps prolong life.
We have positive and convincing
evidence to this effect In the careers
of the great thinkers of the world
men like Newton, Darwin, Huxley
Gladstone, Emerson, Carlyle, Edison
and Spencer.
From careful studies of the lives
of such as these the following strik
ing facts have been established:
That the man pre-eminent for In
tellectual ability lives on the average
/ thirteen years longer than the ordl
nary man.
That, as a rule, he begins while
still child to think along the lines
for which he afterward becomes fam
Gus.
That he is not only precocious
child, but often child of frail con-
stitutlon.
The moral is obvious.
If you would make the most OF
yourself in life and prolong your life
to an efficient, serene old age, start
the gray matter Of your brain work
ing to good purpose.

in American schoolbooks concerning
poultry. The book and it's crude illus

the subject. The convention saw the
