WAY OF SPREADING DISEASE
Water Pans in Henhouses Should 30
Cleaned Every Day-FIat Wash
Basin Easily Cleaned.

How often do you clean up the wa
ter pans in your henhouses? YOU
ought to clean them every day. For
a dirty water pan is the surest way
of spreading disease throughout your
flock
The best way of handling water in
the poultry house is to keep it in a
cheap, fiat wash basin that can be
easily cleaned and refilled. It doesn't
pay to bother with patent water tanks.
You will have to fill them just as
often as the basins, and they are hard
er to clean up.
Place the open basin on a box some
eight or ten inches high and perhaps
eighteen inches square, and make a
runway for this. This keeps It from
filling up with dirt and straw from the
floor, and the hens do not climb into
it in drinking.
Then put the box and basin in q
sunny corner of the house away from
the roosts and nests, so that no dirt
can fall into it from above.
Clean 1t and refill with clean, fresh
water every day. and you will have
put the disease germs to flight indefi-

Homemaker Has Practically innumer-
able Ideas From Which to Make
:; r. r Most Appropriate illumination. i =

: Almost every woman of every cline
has decided notions about the value
of color and light in her home, for
these. things have decorative value
that gives distinction.
The improvements in lighting since
the days Of candles have been SO many
that no. person remembers them all.
Now we have indirect lighting, shaded
lights and lights as soft as candles.
Anti-glare societies are as common
as anti-noise ones and uncomfortable
lights are out of fashion, but lamps
are still in demand and are made with
shaded tops that either cast or relieve
shadows. But they no longer have
chimneys. so they are fitted with what
are called mushroom globes. Through
these the electric light filters soft
ly and gives a suggestion of coziness
that brilliant light lacks.
If your home is not equipped with
electricity we recommend that you
make a study of the new shades and
new ways of placing lamps and lights
and initiate them as we'll as you can
with the means you have.

NEW FASHIONS IN LIGHTS

Novelty is not the chief thing aimed
at in tho colored shades; eye-comfort
is far more important. If you are
making or buying a lampshade have it
suit the room in which it will be used.
Innings Of silk shades may be made
of various tints and textures so that
the light may be subdued on certain
occasions.
Split bamboo, willow rattan and
wooden shades are suitable for tho
den and the library and these are
lined with silk or with rice paper, and
of course Innings may be changed
often.
Glass will always be the favorite
material for shades, and it's fragile
tenderness only makes them more
priced. The Japanese, however, be-.
lieve in prolonging beauty, so that we
have marvelously lovely shades OF
glass and metal called "cloisonne."
Another fancy in shades of beauty are
the silver and glass filigree hoods for
hall lanterns.
II you have not used your best
endeavor to have your home well
lighted, turn your attention to the mat
ter now and make yourself and family
a gift of well-placed, prettily shaded
lamps and lights. Nothing else can
give you more comfort.

PROPER HOUSING FOR TOOLS
All implements Should Be Protected
From Weather When Not in Use
to Save Depreciation.

The only way to overcome deprecia-
ton is to provide proper housing for
all tools and implements. This will
protect them from the weather when
they are not in use. While the ques.
ton of housing is important, it is
equally important that the defective
and broken parts be repaired.
A workshop is required to make
these repairs. It need not be large,
but sufficiently roomy to allow for
work bench, stove, and certain
amount of floor space where the ma,
chinery or tools may be repaired, or
taken apart and reassembled.

are of great Importance. The inves1

the cracked eggs are rotten by Novem.
Der, generally because of a growth of
mold. Sometimes the moldy crack
resting against the filler infects it
and the egg in the next cell becomes
moldy. Each leaking egg causes about
two eggs besides itself to rot. On the
other hand, good early spring eggs
with sound, clean shells show less
than 1 per cent loss from decay by
November. In other words, six eggs
in every dozen cracked eggs will rot,
while only one sound egg in IL dozen
will rot, all other conditions being
equal. The cracked eggs are a heavy
economic loss.

Eggs at the eastern seaboard dur.
ing the early spring are commonly
worth about 20 cents a dozen. Car.
rying charges, including insurance,
are usually about cents a dozen.
Therefore, the nine cracked eggs
which are spoiled by November show
a total loss, not only of their value
when they were stored, which was
about Is cents, but also the carrying
charges, or total of 1917 cents.
About ten cracked eggs out of the
