Advice To
Girls
By ANNIE LAURIE.

Dear Annie Laurie-At a party
last September l met a boy whom
have learned to like very much.
Sometimes he acts as though he
likes me and at other times does
Just the opposite, acting very in
different.

likes me, as / do not want to

- BNSIBLE girl! However,
think these friends who ap-
N pear to care for US one day
and dislike us the next aren't
very comfortable persons to have
around. Just appear perfectly In
different to the boy yourself for a
while. If his own indifference has
been assumed you can soon discov-
err it by his behavior n you don't
appear TO care for him in the least.
Dear Annie Laurie-I have hesn

have had engagements with him
several times, but he does not
keep them. DOLLY.

break ENGAGEMENTS with me
and then have me admit that

and you shouldn't be weak enough
to let the matter pass over Just be-
cause you happen to like the man.
He will need a good lesson to cure

I supped off half those biscuits and By worming myself deep into the heather got some kind of warmth.
 My spirits had risen. and was be- ginning to enjoy this crazy game of hide and seek. So far I had been mi raculous1y 1ucky. The milkman, the literary innkeeper, Sir Harry, the road man and the idiotic Lancie were all pieces of undeserved good fortune.

 I raised myself on my arms and looked down into the valley, and that one look set me lacing up my boots in mad haste. For there were men below, not more than a quarter of a mile off, spaced out on the hillside like a fan, and beating the heather. Lancie had not been slow in looking for his re venge.

This led me presently into the narrow gully of a burn, by way of which I scrambled to the top of the ridge. From there I looked back and saw that was st1n undiscov- cred.

 I had before me choice of routes. a2d I chose a ridge which made an angle with the one I was on and so wo II soon put deep glen between me and my enemies.

Because most city lots are deep and
narrow, II is unusual to see a house
designed as city home which has its
longer dimension across the front
Aside from the few cases already men,
toned in which it is necessary to cut
lots of peculiar shape on account of
streets intersecting at sharp angles, the
only place where house with wide
front is likely to be used is on a corner
lot which offers frontage on two
streets. Even If plenty of room Is
available, the usual custom is to build
a house with its narrow side to the
front, even though such a practice robs
the owner of space which might be
used as large front or back lawn and
presents the narrow side of the house.
as the only part that is ever noticed
by passers-by.
The design shown here presents an
unusually attractive appearance from
the street. Since the gable roof is
placed with its ridge parallel to the
street, the tile-covered surface, broken
by the dormer with its six square win
dows, is prominent feature. The up
per floor is finished with shingles,

LITTER is IMPORTANT
Quite Essential in WeII-ReguIated
Poultry House.
No Excuse for Not Providing Fowls
With This Needed Archaeological
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 well-regulated poultry
house than a carpet is in the modern
farm home.
1t does not take the place of car
pet, but it answers as such fof>the
poultry and is more. 1t is a 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 a 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 it can be changed at least once q
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 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
peck.
Chaff, 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.

Value of Feeds.
The value for poultry feeding of
screenings, scalpings (chietiy broken
and shrunken wheat and TIE larger
weed seeds), wild buckwheat, "black
seeds" (lamb's quarter, wild mustard,
and tunlbling mustard), and each of
these three separately, was tested. The
presence of the black weed seeds IN
the ration made 1t not only unpalata
bic, but Improbable as well. Wild
buckwheat, however, made very de.
sirable feed. The mustards and lambs
quarter proved unpalatable and I'M
profitable. Some birds died, but in nc
case did death result from poison
but rather from malnutrltion. 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 q
stimulating effect on the digestive or
gans.

houses in the block. If the division of
the property into lots Is carried to the
apex of the triangle With lot on each
street as the final division, each of the
houses on these lots should be designed
in the manner of a house which is to
face on two streets. This division of
lots is often preferred to the division
which places a single lot at the apex,
on account of the fact that the last
house, in the latter case, is exposed on
three sides to public view, and Incl
dentally the owner of this lot has the
improvement of two streets and two
street sidewalks to contend with in
case these Developments are brought
into effect.
The remaining small triangle which
cannot be used for residence purposes
is an excellent spot for the city or town
to take up and improve with shrubbery,
flower gardens and ornamental con-
crete or stone work. The Frightening
effect which these little beauty spots
have in towns and cities is attested to
by any number of examples Of this
treatment throughout the country.

The hall has space provided for coats.
The living room occupies the entire
end of the house on one side Of the
reception hall. The fireplace Is built
into the center Of the wall opposite
the hall. This room has two easement
windows at each end and two windows
on the side. The dining room is on
the other side of the hall. A buffet is
built under the window in the front
wall of the house. Arrangements for
serving meals are especially well ham
died, since the dining room may be en-
tered from both the kitchen and the
pantry. The latter room Is a model Of
convenience. A wide shelf Is built I'M
der the window with q case on either
side. The refrigerator, which is iced
from the rear porch, is handy to this
shelf.

bath open from the hall on the sec
ond floor.

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

The young Runner ducks should
be laying to some extent by now
If they have not made an earlier

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

feed your Runner ducks beef scrap,
not great loads of it, but a table
spoonful or two each day in a
mash Of cracked corn, vegetables
cooked, ana bran, the young Runners
will lay eggs early ia 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. ]
have known young turkeys to be
warmed and fed into laying a clutch OF
eggs in January, says 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.

the best possible effect in the appear
ance of the houses built on the narrow
lots. Of course, it will be necessary
to design these houses with the larger
dimension across the front. This often
helps the room arrangement rather
than causing difficulty in grouping of
rooms. AS far as the exterior appear
ance is concerned, there is FAN ad-
vantage in the wider side of the houses
being placed near the street, in that
many pleasing effects are possible in
the window and porch design, and the
wall finish is more effective than IN the
case Of a smaller wall surface. An
other advantage of this type of house
is found in the possibility Of artistic
and distinctive roof treatment.

be maintained in accordance with that

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

1t is 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 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 wonderful difference
in some fiocks. Birds inclined to range
away at feeding time and thereby miss
this meal will soon be habitually there
abouts at feeding time, if regular.

There is often found a condition, In
laying out the streets of town or
city, which necessitates the formation
of several lots which are not of stand
ard depth. Such a condition might ex-
list where two streets intersect at an
angle other than 90 degrees. In such
a case lots are laid out on two sides
of the triangle as near to the apex as
they may be carried without cutting
down the depth to value which will
hamper the sale of the lots. If the
angle of intersection of the streets Is
small, there will be a rather large piece
of land which is usually not suitable
for residences. That the size of this
strip can be cut down by making the
lots wider near the apex may be real
lied by properly designing the houses
built on the shallow lots is q certainty.
The shallow lots would be preferred
