DANGER IN FOOLISH CUSTOM
Those Who Bite PenhoIders In Public
Use Are Hereby Warned Of
Possible Infection.
Il ppyrlght.b

That the penholder, such as most OF
us frequently use in hotels, post Of
fees, banks and other public writing
rooms may be as deadly carrier of
disease germs as the roller towel and
public drinking cup, Is the suspicion
for which the boards of health be-
lieve they have found ample grounds
The next time you use one of these
public penholders you will notice, II
you examine it carefully, that the
wooden handle Is covered with little
dents. These dents are the imprint
of the teeth of persons who have used
the pen before you; and as the mouth
Is the favorite port of entry for dis
ease, each dent Ia usually full of mi.
crobes.
To expose yourself to sickness and
death, therefore, all you need to do
is to bite on the penholder. Every
time you do this, you take into your
mouth the germs which scores of
other persons have left by similar
bites.
Health officials plan to secure legis.
lation abolishing the public penhold-
er. In the meantime they urge the
public to try to break itself of the al
most universal habit Of holding pen
in ones mouth while folding letter
or plotting check.

WINTER FEED FOR THE HENS
Warm, Soft Washes Sometimes Have
Effect Of Making Fowls Lazy
Feed SparlneIy In Morning.

Amateurs sometimes are puzzled to
know how much to feed when throw
Ing grain in the litter and are prone
to overfeed, making it so easy for the
hens to fill their crops that they will
not work long. II dry mash is kept
before the hens at all times, the
poultrykeeper may comfort himself
with the thought that his birds need
never go hungry even If they have
difficulty in finding the grain they
need to satisfy themselves.
The use of warm, soft mashes some
times has the effect of making hens
lazy. II a heavy feeding of mash is
given in the morning, the hens will
fill up on that and then stand around
for several hours. II the amount OF
mash is made so small that their hun
ger is not satisfied, no damage will
result.
A mash at the close Of day is not
advisable, but it may be given an hour
or two before roosting time and fol.
lowed with a feeding Of whole corn.
The corn will almost always be eaten,

POULTRY
*FACTS>
PLAN FOR HARD.SHELL EGGS
Mineral Elements Necessary Are
Available In Much Cheaper Form
Than In Feeding Grains.

The feeding OF hens for the produc-
ton of hard-shelled eggs, not easily
breakable in handling, is possible ana
demands attention. Shells vary great
ly in strength. A strong, heavy shell
is not nearly so likely to be broken
by the jars, jolts and rough handling
incident to ordinary shipment as a
weak one.
Chemical analysis shows that the
shell of the egg is largely carbonate
Of lime, but that it also contains car
Donate of magnesia, mineral phosphate
and some organic matter. If strong
shells are to be produced, the mineral
elements must not be lacking. Grains
that are ordinarily fed do not con-
tain these mineral elements In suffi-
cient proportions, and an additional
and separate supply is necessary. For
tunately, these mineral elements are
available in much cheaper forms than
in grains. Lime is the principal in
gredient of oyster shells. Iron, mag
nesia and often phosphorus in many
kinds Of artificial grit, may pc pro-
cured for about the same price, while
these elements in grain would cost at
least double these figures.
Bone meal contains phosphorus IN
appreciate amounts, besides lime,
magnesia, etc, and while expensive, it
is effective in giving the shell an even
ness and fineness Of texture which
adds much to its strength. 1t is, there
fore, often used as an ingredient for
dry mashes for laying focks, usually
in amount varying from three to five
per cent.
Eggs that won't break give the
poultryman greater profits than eggs
that will. Make your hens lay the non

stage Of growth is reached. Root prun-
ing long continued is likely to perma
nently weaken the tree.
Pruning during dormant seasons
tends to wood production and, during
the growing season, to fruit produc-

that summer pruning Is advisable, for
it is exhausting ind If continued re-
duces the vigor OF the tree. 1t should
be resorted to only under special con-
dtions. Winter pruning, If properly
practiced, Is not Objectionable from
the standpoint of fruit production.

practice also gives better formed trees
and better results than If the young
trees are neglected, necessitating later
the removal of large branches.

BEST COMBINATION ON FARM
Poultry, Fruit and Bees Are Directly
Benefited In Various Ways by
Being Kept Together.

OF the many different lines of agri-
cultural interests. poultry raising, fruit
growing and bee keeping can be CON-
bined to the best advantage. Poultry,
fruit and bees are directly benefited
by being kept together. Three essen
tial crops, meat, fruit and honey, can
be grown on the same ground at one
time, each contributing to the success
of the other in various ways.
Fruit trees afford the shade and
protection necessary for fowls and
bees. They yield food in blossoms,
insects and fallen fruits and in return
are benefited by losing all that is so
eagerly devoured by the industrious
beneticiaries of their beauty. Fowls
not only decrease the insect pests in
the orchard, but they deposit rich
nourishment unsurpassed in quality
for soil. The majority of farmhouses
and suburban residences have or
chards or plots of ground that with
very little preparation can be made
into ideal poultry runs. Where begin
ners are planning plot to set out In
fruit, future growth should be consid-
cred, standard apple trees should be
planted 35 or 40 feet apart each way,
as the trees do not get large enough
to bear under ten years, nor attain full
growth under twenty years. Many de.
sirable crops can be secured in the
meantime by setting out two peach
or plum trees or rows Of pear and
cherry trees between the apple trees.
This leaves ample room for bush fruit
or berries to be raised and cultivated.
1t is best to put early baby chicks In
the young fresh-planted trees and
bushes to prevent damage to tender
roots from scratching. Baby chicks
thrive best among bushes and vines.

Primary Object In Prunina.

In pruning fruit trees, remember the
primary object Is to remove superfu-
GUS wood and to shape the tree. Re-
member also that pruning tree dur
ing its dormant period, that is while
growth, while pruning during the
summer, or pruning while the leaves
are on the tree, retards the growth Of
wood and induces fruitfulness. Prun.
Ing the roots has the same effect.
