With cold weather at hand poultry
owners turn to the problem of getting
eggs in winter. Chickens are most
profitable where they are used main
~ for the production of poultry meat
in spring and summer, leaving the
marketing of eggs for fall and winter.
A great deal of the success with
poultry In the winter depends on the
way tile houses are built for warmth,
but when we speak of warm poultry
houses we do not mean it in the sense
that we do III speaking of dwelling

house warm enough so that water will
not freeze in the coolest weather Is
sufficient. A simple thickness of match
ed lumber will provide this condition.
There must be ventilation without
drafts, and the open front is best
curtain is used to close the front in
stormy periods. The object in having
warm house is to stimulate the hen
and induce her to lay eggs during the
cold months. If the fowls are kept
warm and are well fed they will lay
eggs, while If they are cold or allow

food they consume is employed 10

binary state of vitality, and there Is
nothing left for the production Of eggs.
( The floor should be kept dry and
clean. Sanitation is just as essential
here as in other farm buildings. The

Wholesome Advice
Penned each week towards max

Paddle Your Own Canoe.

Advice is good, if it is good
and we'll followed, and here is
bit clipped from an exchange
that occurs to us as being whole

cess.
eight your own battles. Hoe
your own row. Ask no favors OF
any one and you'll succeed a
thousand times better than one
who is always beseeching some
ones influence and patronage
No one will ever help you as you
help yourself, for no one is 40
heartily interested in your
affairs"
The first step will be a long one
perhaps; but carving your own
way up the mountain you will
make each step lead to another,
and stand firm while you chop
another out. Men who have made
fortunes are not those who have
had $4,000 given them to start
with but bows who have started
fair with a we'll earned dollar or
two. Men who have acquired
fame have never be en- thrust into
popularity by puffs begged OF
paid for, or given in friendly
spirit. They have outstretched
their own hands and touched the
public heart. Men who win love
their own wooing, and never
knew a man to fall as signally as
one who induced his affectionate
grandmother to speak a word
for him. Whether you work for
fame, for love, for money, or for
anything else, work with your
own hands and heart and brain.

Don't Ridicule the Old Lady

"Say my young lady friend,
says Deacon Walker, of the Os-
borne Kan, Farmer" | noticed
that you took occasion to ridicule
that old lady who just passed YOU
on the street. 1t gave you lot of
pleasure, / have no doubt her.
She is old and wrfnkled and bent
with age now. But once she could
skin You . block for good looks.
She was married to a man she
loved and a happy home for years.
Three children came to bless
them. One night the husband
was brought home dead. When
grief had spent itself she faced
the world pennilness, with three
little ones TO feed. She toiled
with needle and over the tub.
She kept the wolf from the door,
but you see at what physical
cost. Through the long hot days
and far into the night she worked
| on. Amid her labors she found
time to teach the children good
and wholesome truths-to be
honest and square and look every
man in the eve. The children
are grown now and mother lives
with them. Her eyes are grow
ing dim with the sweet conscious
ness that not one of her children
ever brought the blush of shame
| to her cheeks. When you get
old and can face the world and
hold up such blessed fruits of
your labors you will not have to
concern yourself about the world
to come"

All Is Well.

PROSPERITY is beginning to
loom up every where. People
are fast paying their indebtness,
old notes are being paid off and
securities are up to the standard.
It is but natural that when you
begin to prosper, you begin to
live too high, buy too much-too
many Injuries. Conditions are
entirely normal now, you can
begin to plan for industrial &C
tivity without fear as to results
money is again flowing in natural
channels. Millions of European
dollars will soon be turned loose
Ia the United States. Hush the
cry of hard times. Get up and
20 to work. Don't let prosperity
over run you but go forth and
meet it. Every available acre
of our land should be cultivated
and be made to produce more
than ever before. The mercha n
should lay in a big stock of goods
for there is going to be demand.
Don't be afraid to build new
houses or repair and improve
your home. Give the carpenter
q job. There is nothing wrong
with our country, our state, oil
our county, It's wealth, It'
brains and energy are still here
There is plenty of work and big
