results were cooled as follows: First
week, five minutes in the afternoon T;
second week, ten minutes In the after

the afternoon. Cooling one tray for
several hours proved detrimental.
In an experiment to determine the
profit on ducks Matched in ~incubators,
reared in breeders, and sold on the
local market at from ten to twelve
weeks old, 3.1S pounds of feed per
pound of gain were required, the aver

ing 4 pounds, 11.2 ounces per duck.
Value Of Feeds.
The value for poultry feeding of
screenings, scalpings Chiefly broken
and shrunken wheat and the larger
weed seeds), wild buckwheat, "black
seeds" Qamb's quarter, wild mustard,
AMI tumbling mustard), and each of
these three separately, was tested. The
presence Of the black weed seeds in
the ration made 1t not only unpalata-
BILE, but Improbable as well. Wild
buckwheat, however, made a very de.
sirable feed. The mustards and lambs
quarter proved unpalatable and un.
profitable. Some birds died, but in nc
case did death result from poison
but rather from malnutrition. In the
birds that suffered most severely, as
in the case of the mustards, upon re
turn to a normal ration the rebound
was very rapid. The mustards rather
than being poisonous seemed to have {
stimulating effect on the digestive or
gans.

The pins are in hiding behind a shir-

Xmas Candle and Lamps

Candles for the lunch or dinner ia
bic, candles for the living room and
candles for the dressing table are
among the gifts that delight everybody.
Among them are classed small electric
lamps (often made to simulate the old
fashioned candle) which are used as a
substitute for candles. Glass candle
sticks prove easiest to keep clean and
shining and are therefore the best
choice for the dining room and the
dressing room. Brass or gilded candle
sticks, or those Of mahogany, are liked
for living rooms or the library.
It is the gay little shade that makes
candlelight so fascinating, This year
there are the usual silk shades in rose,
or other %colors, with gold lace aud the
tiniest silk flowers %festooned on them,
and shades Of many other things. There
are some wonderfully pretty shades
made of paper and they include some
novelties made Of stiff paper as well as
the popular and familiar crepe paper
kinds.

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

1t will not do to underestimate the
Importance attached to litter in the
poultry business. 1t is even more es-
sential in a w~ell-regulated poultry
house than a carpet is in the modern
farm home.
1t does not take the place of a car
pet, but it answer as such for the
poultry and is more. 1t is a good thing
in a 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 a large quantity and
the supply should be liberal enough
so it can be changed at least once a
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 chah and straw and there is no
excuse for not providing the poultry
house with this needed article.
The best litter is chopped straw. It
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.
Chaf, 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 it helps keep the feet Of fowls
warm in winter.

even thinner paper, with strips of
black pasted on it. A cluster of three
small roses and fine foliage, made of
colored sealing wax d%ecorates the shade

glass and the shade holder slips over
the top of the candle supporting n
mica protector for the paper shade as
well as the shade.
At the right a pretty little lamp is
made for the same purpose as the can

The stand and shade are white and

space is left in the shade for a blue
satin ribbon, which is strung through
it and tied In a bow. The lamp is fit
ted with IA small electric bulb at the
top.
Lamps made in the same way for
the living room are of brown or green
paper rope with any color in the rib
bon, and decorations that may be flow
ers or birds or figures. A chain at
tnched to the lamp turns the light on

For His Dressing Table

No one ever heard OF a Christmas
when new pincushions did not arrive
to replace old ones and to provide al
ways-needed pins. Very elaborate and
pretentiOus ones, of embroidered net
and lace and all sorts of rich ribbons,
are made to grace the dressing tables
of the ladies', but here are two meant
for men. They are selected from a
number of small cushions made to hang
or stand within easy reach near the
mirror that reflects an almost pinless
toilet. And they are mere ~pleasantries
in pincushlons, which will be looked at
if not used, and therefore their clever
ness cOmmends them.

satin-provldes a resting place for a
kewpie soldier boy. He has a gun in

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

It 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 a wonderful difference
in some locks. Birds inclined to range
away at feeding time and thereby miss
this meal will o be habitually there

WINTER EGG LAYING OWL
Beef Scrap, Cracked Corn, Cracked
Corn and Vegetables, Will Encour-
age Runner Ducks.

The young Runner ducks should
be laying to some extent by now
If they have not made an earlier
beginning. Many people SCOT at
the idea of ducks laying in the fall
and declare the Runner no exception
to the rule. This is only true of the
ducks in this breed that are given
neither laying care nor feed. If you
feed your Runner ducks beef scrap,
not great loads of 1t, but a table
spoonful or two each day in n
mash of cracked corn, vegetables
cooked, and bran, the young Runners
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
nor than you can from the ducks. l
have known young turkeys to be
warmed and fed into laying a clutch of
eggs in January, says n writer in an
exchange. Never let any writer get
it 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 If there is a 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 it is
against such treatment for the lay
Ing hens.

RETARDS WINTER EGG LAYING
Sudden Freezing Of Hens Comb viii
Shut of Egg supply-oood Treat
ment Recommended.

Freezing Of the hens comb will re-
tard egg laying. Freezing of the feet
Of both male and female means loss
of fertility in the spring. Often the
sudden freezing Of the combs of hens
that have made a good start at laying
will shut Off all laying by them for
the rest of the winter. Frozen or
nlpped combs should be looked for
early and the comb dipped in ice-cOld
water or packed with snow. Afterward
apply glycerln and some healing salve.

In an experiment conducted by the
Canada experiment farms to determine
the number Of eggs that would be fer
tilted with one mating only, five fer
tilted eggs appeared to be the maxi
num-. In a fertility test following -
hours mating it was apparent that
this method was more conducive to re-
suits than the n mating only proved
to be. In trials to determine the in
a of pen fertility after the intro
duction of the male, maximum fertil-
ity, 100 per cent, was reached in a pull
let pen six days after mating, and Oc-
Cured three times in a period of 81
days. The same fertility vas reached
in a pen of old hens on the eleventh
day after introducing the male, but the
fertility increased more rapidly and
continued a great deal stronger in the
pullet pen than in the pen of old hens.
One male was also kept with A White
LeghOrn hens. Though the percentage
of fertility was highest when only 56.S
per cent of the hens were laying, the
total hatch was only 1873 per cent.
When 1854 per cent of the pen were
laying, the total hatch was 4S.1 per
cent and the fertility S7.7 per cent. In
other tests without mating again fer
tility could not be traced in eggs laid
after hens had been broody for any
length of time.
Cooling Eggs.
In an experiment to determine the
best method of cooling eggs in an in
cubator, the eggs in an incubator con-
tanning eight trays were cooled for
u mere turning 5, 10, 10 and Commute
