also before she answers unexpected

two purposes.
A special economic device is to apply
a piece of rubber hose one and one
half inches long to both hot and cold
water faucets in the kitchen sink. This
prevents a chance bump against the
metal faucet breaking or chipping
dishes. 1t will save many piece OF

LITTER IS IMPORTANT
Quite Essential in WeIl-Regulated
Poultry House.
No Excuse for Not Providing FowIo
With This Needed ArtIeie-chopped
Straw Acts as Absorbent Un-
der the Roosts.

II will not do to underestimate the
Importance attached to litter In the
poultry business. 1t is even more es-
sential in well-regulated poultry
house than a carpet is In the modern
farm home.
IL does not take the place Of car
pet, but IL answers as such for the
poultry and is more. 1t is good thing
In poultry house, summer or win
ter.
We have been In poultry houses
where litter was as scarce as icicles
on an autumn MONDAY. says n writer
In an exchange. Such houses are usu-
ally as bare OF convenience as the
floor is bare of litter.
1t pays to have large quantity and
the supply should be liberal enough
SO IL can be changed at least once n
week. By this means the house may
be kept sweet and clean, and scratch
Ing the litter will afford exercise so
much needed by fowls when kept In
closed.
On every farm there Is an abundance
OF chaff and straw and there is no
excuse for not providing the poultry
house with this needed article.
The best litter is chopped straw. 1t
acts as an absorbent under the roosts
and as a receptacle In other parts for
the grain that is thrown to the poultry.
In winter chickens should be made to
scratch for every grain they obtain.
For every grain they should give a
peck.
Chafr, buckwheat hulls, or almost
anything Of that nature will answer
well for litter. We have seen poultry
houses Uttered with shredded fodder.
One more good thing about litter is
that 1t helps keep the feet Of fowls
warm in winter.

After each meal spoons, knives and

wiped dry, simple matter of two or
three minutes. The plates and dishes
are scraped and set In a tub of soap

Then the cooking things are thor

quickly done than at any other time.

the whole process, and there Is nothing
unusual in the neat kitchen except
three bright pans or tubs Of neatly
piled dishes covered with water.
When ready to attack them the wa

Make Repairs Now.

This is the time of year when the.
housewife should take survey of
the many small repairs about the
house which should be attended to.
before winter "sets in" 1t might be-
well to have a repair day when the
handy man takes his time and tools
and finishes these numerous odd jobs.
Perhaps one or two window panes-
are out, cupboard door sticks. or a
lock Is out Of order. The back steps
that are worn out (and have been
for some time) and are propped up
with rock or pile of bricks might be
repaired to lessen the danger Of acci-
dents. Little things "out of order"
are a source of unnecessary worry to
the busy housewife and when repair
ed in "ship-shape" they mean much

much better results than oil meal and
tended to produce firmer flesh with
silage.
Where there is not an abundance of
grazing when cattle are fed the silo

feeding silage will soon pay for the
silo. 1t helps utilize the coarse feeds,

MISTAKE IN RAISING CHICKS
Where Forced to Pick Up Living They
Grow Slowly and Are Sometimes
Very Poor In Flesh.

II is a fact that nine-tenths Of the
farmers raising chicks fail to give
them enough to eat. After they have
reached that stage when they are able
to pick a mere living they are gener-
ally forced to do so and consequently
grow very slowly and are sometimes
poor In flesh.
Two feeds OF grain given at regular
hours will make n wonderful difference
In some flocks, Birds inclined to range
away at feeding time and thereby miss
this meal will soon be habitually there

WORK FOR BETTER CHICKENS
Ten Cardinal Points In Raising Young
Fowls-Glve Only What They
Will Clean Up Quickly.

Here are ten cardinal points In rails
Ing young chickens:
l. First feed the chicks when thir-
ty-slx hours old. Provide sharp sand
or clean grit. Give them dry bread
and sweet milk, mixed with chopped
boiled eggs and dry bread or cracker
crumbs. Feed this once every three
hours for two or three days, then once
day for ten days or two weeks.
2. Don't overfeed. Give only what
the chickens will eat up eagerly In a
few minutes.
3. Exercise aids digestion and as
simllation and keeps the chickens con-
tented In confinement.
4. Give scratch feed consisting of
finely cracked grains. us well-seasoned

WINTER EGG LAYING FOWLS

The young Runner ducks should
be laying to some extent by now

spoonful or two each day In a
mash Of cracked corn, vegetables

will lay eggs early In the winter, per-
haps not regularly, but enough. to
pay before the regular spring laying
begins.
You cannot get winter eggs from
the hens unless you feed for them any
more than you can from the ducks. I
have known young turkeys to b,
warmed and fed into laying n clutch Of
eggs In January, says writer In an
exchange. Never let any writer get
1t into your head that Just corn, or
one or two kinds of grain alone, will
produce all the winter eggs you should
get, or that they will drink as much
as they need II there is mere hole
cut In the Ice of the water pan, or you
merely let them depend on snow. A
writer now and then argues this last,
but my experience is old, and Il is
against such treatment for the lay
