HENS MUST BE COMFORTABLE
Ample Shade Must Be Provided for
Fowls During Hot Weather as
Well as Proper Food.

Those who neglect TO provide shade
for their hens during the trying sum-
mer months are likely to regret 1t.
The fowls must have comfort as we'll
as food.
If the yard has no shade it will
pay to provide ii even though 1t takes
some time and labor.
Shade is regarded as one of the Inn
portant items in the care of the flock
for the summer. When the hot days
come on many poultry breeders rams
fer the hens and young chickens TO
the orchard or to a woodlot. Where
shade is not available q temporary
structure six by ten feet square and
four feet high is erected; this is coy
ered with burlap or n An ideal
place for young fowls is near the
edge of a cornfield where they can
have shade. scratching places and can
find many insects.

ASTHENiA IN POULTRY FLOCK
Not Much Use in Trying to Save Fowl
Affected With Disease-lt
Should Be Killed.

Asthenia Is the disease commonly
known as "going light and is caused
by almost any condition which tends
towards the wasting Of the muscles,
especially tuberculosis and worms,
says a writer in an exchange. Avoid
this disease by providing clean, dry,
well-ventilated houses; a grass run
for the birds, and no moldy grain or
litter for them to get into. The af-
fected birds should be killed and
burned. There is not much use in
trying to cure a bird that has adj
vanced far enough in the disease to
be detected.
The danger of such diseases Is that
the condition of the bird in the first
stages is not known unless she is
handled and her weight noted. A dis.
eased bird that tufts out its feathers,
as many do, is a hidden menace to the
flock. There Is apparently less dis
ease proportionately In a small flock
than in q large one.
We believe the reason for this Is
| that the individual birds are known In
a small flock, and their condition
readily ascertained, while In a large
| flock a sick bird may not be detected
until 1t has reached the last stages.

SAYS HYPNOTISM is EASY
Prof. Munsterbere Declares He Can
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete S~ubjueation.

Prof. Hugo M~unsterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to a Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch TO
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy II Is to hypnotic
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
off a log" The professor predicted a
great field in the future for the expert
in mind control. He said:
"Hypnotism presents a vast field for
the expert. 1t is so easy to produce
tln hypnotic trance that anyone can
do ii on others, but 1t is exceedingly
dangerous when ~thoughtlessly or ig-
~norantly used. II is simply a case OF
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and 1t can be used i'm medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco-
holic fiend and oil who have abnormal
desires. Often only a slight hypnosis
is necessary to effect a cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
Medicine, equally with law, is t.
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ
solete and the whole science of dag
nosis has been carried into the field
of experiment. Psycho-analysis has Q
great future"

Particularly Adapted for Young Cattle
Corn Must Be Fed to Produce
Solid Fat.

By RAY A. GATEwOOD, Kansas Agri-
cultural College.)
Alfalfa when fed with silage is par
ticularly well adapted as feed for
young cattle. In the beginning of the
~fattening process, the cattle Will con-
sure from 15 to 80 pounds of hay and
silage q day. Alfalfa hay fed alone
does not produce the same effect on
cattle that 1t does when fed in connec
ton with silage, because the latter is
more succulent and more palatable
than the former.
AS cattle approach the marketable
point, Orn must be fed in quantities
readily consumed to produce solid fat.
At this stage alfalfa and silage should
not be fed in such large quantities as
formerly, because the cattle do not
reed the extra protein. Taking all
facts into consideration, alfalfa hay,
silage and corn are the most economi-
cal fat producers If fed in correct
proportions.

TAX ON WAGE FARMERS DUE
Many English Workers May Escape
the Income Assessment Re-
Gently Levied.

Our civil service correspondent
writes, according to the London Tele-
graph:
1.-THE first quarterly income tax as
sessment on wage earnerS is now due,
the period according to the finance act
of 1915, under which the rate was i'm
posed, having commenced On April l,
this year. Only those earning wages
above f130 sterling ($650) a year are
liable. 1t is estimated hat about 9O0,-
600 workers will come under survey,
but after the usual Attachments and
reliefs are given a large proportion OF
those will be exempt. and it is as yet
impossible to say how many will be-
come actually liable to the tax, or
what amount may be expected to be
received.
"When the abatement Of f120 and
the relief in respect of children (f25
each) and the deductions for life in
uranc are taken irtO account, it is
believed that the actual number of
wage n who will pay income tax
will turn out much smaller than is
popularity supposed, unless the high
wages due to the war may upset pre-
viouS estimates. The tax may be paid
by weekly installments by means of
post office stamps where the amount
of tax for n quarter exceeds six
shillings. This is a concession which
will greatly facilitate payment, and
no doubt will be largely availed Of"

TO improve its product. In the five
years following the establishing of the
first fellowship, AZ distinct interests
have endowed about 105 one-year fell
