Is it for fun. love. or money that you wish to raise chickens?
 First decide this. and then pick your breed accordingly.
 This is the advice which an experi- enced Wisconsin poultrymsn gives to all embryo" chicken farmers. He emphasizes this as the prime factor in a successful beginning-determi what is the object of your venture, study the requirements of your mar ket and then choose breed that will meet these conditions.
 It must be very obvious to even the novice in the chicken business that different conditions demand different breeds. The millionaire fancier may well gratify his hobby of breeding beautifully plumed bantams, but he who desires to sell coasters and who depends on his flock for living must pick the breed of fowls thai grows to a good size in short time.
 Many authorities agree that all fowls may be classified under one of four heads: Egg breeds. meat breeds. general-purpose breeds. and fancy breeds. While this classification is useful in distinguishing fowls accord ing 10 their characteristics, it should not be inferred that the distinctions are hard and fast.
 The usefulness Of any breed will depend to a considerable extent upon such conditions as food. care. climate, and market demands. Thus. if it be- came the fad in New York 10 serve roast bantam bullets. the poultrymen of that section could profitatly raise the tiny birds for table use, although they are now considered a fancy breed.
 The egg breeds include all small or medium sized fowls having a strong tendency toward egg production. Al. most without exception the noted egg producing breeds are small or medium sized, and possess trim, neat bodies.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
 TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
 Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray: also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays. by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray, Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as 1t does it 50 naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time, by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- plication or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy Adv

They are poor mothers. for they are of a nervous temperament and are easily frightened The Leghorns, Spanish. MinOrcas. and Hamburgs are typical of this class. The Leghorns are perhaps the most popular with us
 For size, the meat breeds are the champions. Mature fowls in this class average from six to eight pounds in weight. They are usually consid- cred poor layers, although the pull lets often do fairly well. They are slow-moving. heavy-bodied fowls of gentle disposition, and are persistent setters. The Brahmas. Cochins and I.angshans are breeds of this class.
 Under the head of general-purpose breeds are classed those fowls that furnish a fair quantity and good quail ity of meat and also a large number of eggs when properly cared for The Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds are familiar breeds of this class. Plymouth Rocks probably stand first in point of num- Der.
 Pleasing appearance rather than utility characterize the fancy breeds. While many of the fancy breeds may serve a useful purpose in furnishing meat and eggs. they cannot compete in this respect with the other classes. The Polish and Bantams are repre- sentative of this class.
 Having settled upon the breed he will raise. the beginning poultryman must next give his attention to the matter of obtaining foundation stock. By dealing with one of the successful breeders of known reputation he can not easily go far astray.
 For the inexperienced breeder it is best not to buy the most expensive stock on the market to start with for at first certain losses are likely 10 occur which will be avoided when he has mastered some of the secrets of his trade"

Ammunition Used in War.

How much ammunition does a mod ern army use? We shall not know until after the war what the German and the allied forces have been ex. pending; but we know what the Ger. mans used in 1s70-71. The total for rifles was 3O,000,000 cartridges. for field artillery 362,0O0 rounds. It is worth noting that battles are much less costly in ammunition than sieges The siege Of Strassburg alone cost. weight for weight, three times the amount of ammunition used in all the decisive battles and actions through. out the whole war. Of course these figures are a mere bagatelie com. pared with those of the present strug. gle, with its millions of soldiers and its quick-fring guns and its week-ion 2 battles.-Manchester Guardian.

chickens are being kept with only housing room for 100. If these fiocks were reduced to the 100 best layers their owners would have many more eggs and much lower feed bills.
 On a large proportion of our farms there are. according to MT. Haipin. old hens which have outlived their usefulness. Many of these have long toe nails which show that thye have not worked for months. These and the "crowheaded" thin breasted, weak constitutional" hens should be dis carded for they will never be good egg producers. Similarly, late-hatehed chicks will not prove paying invest ments. It will pay well to dispose of these culls as ouickly as possible and to give the feed to the layers and workers.

GULL THE FLOCK;

Will 1t pay the poultrymsn to cull his flock closely?
 James G. Halpin, secretary Of the Wisconsin Poultry association, says it will and he realizes that eggs and poultry likely will be higher later on.
 But in spite of all this he is urging the pouitryrnen of the state to cuii more closely than usual. He argues that with present feed prices farmers, and certainly other poultrymen, can not afford to feed hens which show from their general makeup that they will not develop into good producers.

POULTRY CORNER
 FOR THE BOYS
Ii Pays to Keep Clean.
By ]. H. REED.

o/ J- F- hGGO.
 No matter what business you are in it pays to keep your shops and your stores clean. And so 1t is in the poultry business.
 For hens will not eat from a dirty floor. No matter how tempting the feed may be, they refuse to accept it when 1t is scattered in dirty bedding among the remains of two weeks feed ing. Of course if they will not eat, they cannot lay. And if they cannot lay, your chances for a profitable sea. son will go glimmering.
 So it is up to you, young man, to clean up that poultry house floor and keep it clean. Sweep out the old bed ding and leftover feed every morning. Get into the corners and under the nests. Do a good job of it. if you are going to do it at all
 And when you have it all cleaned up. spread some fresh straw over the floor, and feed your grain in it. Do this each and every day, until it be comes a habit Clean out the water pans, too, and fill them with clean fresh water.
 And your hens will repay you for your trouble by laying twice as many eggs. It pays to keep clean.

Rout the Lice!

Here is a very effective lice powder which may easily be made at home:
 Mix. away from fire. one part of crude carbolic acid with five parts of gasoline. Stir into this mixture just enough plaster paris to make a thick, moist mass. Spread the paste out on a paper and allow to dry. After the gasoline has eyaporated, the plaster mixture may be applied like any dusting powder.
 The powder gets into the pores of the lice and kills them by suffocation or the carbolic acid poisons them. Some of the compound put into the dust bath will be found an easy method of controlling the para sites.

chanuIna Diet Of the Chinese.

Americans who have been infiu-
enced by the Orient to the extent OF
taking their tea clear. without milk
or sugar, will be astonished to learn
that the Occident Is now bent on
teaching the Chinese to use milk with
their decoction of tea leaves-and con-
densed milk at that.
An enterprising condensed milk
company is pushing the campaign and
expects to be successful. This con-
Germ has already introduced con-
densed milk ice cream to the Chinese,
and they like it so well that many
of the restaurants keep it always on
hand.
Practically no fresh milk Is to be
had in China, although the natives
seem familiar enough with the virtues
of both the fresh and the condensed
article.
Perhaps after all of the Orientals
have taken their tea clear because
there was no milk to put in 1t and
mot because they thought the addition
of milk ruined the beverage.

For Refreshing Sleep,

A common cause for restless sleep
is bed with sagging springs and cob
ble-stone mattress. For the victim
of insomnia money spent for good
springs and mattress is well invested.
1t is difficult to relax your head rest
ing on a hill, your feet on another
and bottomless abyss between.
There are countless schemes for
forcing relaxation when sleep comes
reluctantly. Sometimes it may help
to count imaginary sheep filing
through a breach in a stone wall, or
just to count slowly until you for
get yourself But we imagine a bet
ter plan is to think away back and
try to recall memories of childhood
and the little incidents of childhood
days.
A dark room, cold air, warm night
clothing, warm feet, comfortably filed
stomach, a good spring and mattress.
and. above all. clear conscience, will
permit relaxation and refreshing
sleep.
