IMPROVING THE FARM FLOCK
Farmer Should Not Be Afraid to Gull
Closely, Wedding Out All Weakly,
Understood Fowls.

Improve the flock; it always pays.
Many of the farms have good stock,
but the trouble is they have too many
kinds of it. It is a poor policy to buy
up purebre6 stock and turn it loose
among half dozen other kinds, some
so crossed they will stand for nearly
any kind of treatment; yet this is a
rule on many farms. If you give all
extra care, the purebred will respond.
to the good treatment and do good
work as long as they live, but the pure.
bred seldom do good work under neg
lect; they are not used to 1t. The
good treatment the purebred get to

bring them up to the right standard
becomes necessity, and they suffer
and lose out under rough conditions.
If your stock is run down, improve
it. Get rid of all poor stuff. Don't be
afraid to Gull and Gull closely, says
Twentieth Century Farmer. Weed out
weakly, undersized hens. Say that
you have q mixed flock, with q fair
sprinkling of barred hens or any color
that Is in close resemblance to some
of the purebreds, and yet you know
they are not purebred, there Is nothing
to hinder. you from making those
barred hens, or the buff, or white
whatever you may have majority OF
the basis for an improved flock that
will come up to the purebred in size
and looks, with possibly greater laying
power and strength because of the late
crosses in their blood.
It is true that If you will improve
you must breed from one color. You
must set aside ten or more Of your
best marked hens Of the color de-
cided on, which may be barred. II you
have a cockerel or two as we'll marked
as these hens and large as the barred
breed requires, keep these to mate
with the selected hens. II there are
no cockerels OF this variety to breed
from, 1t will be best to put in a couple
Of the purebred Barred Rocks.
There must be some arrangement
made for keeping these male birds
and the selected hens In pen to
themselves during the breeding sea-
son. The expense Of such a pen Is
very light. You cannot expect to Inn.
prove. your flock without some slight
expense. Ten or fifteen hens will give
you all the eggs you need for breed
ing stock next year, even after close
culling. BY another year you should
be able to discard all your mixed stock
and rely on the improved birds to form
all of the flock, which will yet demand
culling and good selection each year.

 FROM FALLING OUT

Ever try to count the dead, fallen hairs in your comb and brush? They are natures advance warning of future badness and proof that the dangerous little dandruf germ is busy on your scalp.
 Dr. Sangerbund, the famous Paris specialist, first discovered that dan druff and falling hair are caused by a microbe. Then caEae the discovery of the value of the real Parisian Sage Qiquid form) in destroying the dan druff germ and promptly preventing the further loss of hair. The effect of only three days use of Parisian Sage is simply marvellous, and the Ameri- can people have now awakened to the fact that dandruff is just as unneces- sary as it is unhealthy, and that they can be quickly rid of 1t and save their hair by using a few ounces of Parisian Sage.
 Parisian Sage is sold for not more than 50 cents large bottle at drug and toilet counters everywhere. It is an ideal, daintily perfumed liquid, free from grease and stickiness, and will surely cause hair to grow soft, lus- trous and really seem twice as abund- ant.

"CommunaIv Laundries.

Because the price of soaps and such necessities for washing as starch, borax and the like, has increased be- yond the reach of the poor people, it Is proposed to establish in Wilma, Rus sia, a number of communal laundries" for patronage by those who cannot af- ford to pay dearly fer cleanliness.
 Just how much the local inhabi- tants have been able to do for them selves, through the agency of twenty five "Achieser Societies" or institu- tions of brotherly help, is indicated by the six months report of the main organization, just issued.
 According to this report the twenty five branch Societies in all the DOT tions of Wilma took in during the last half year just over fifteen thousand dollars and expended little more than sixteen thousand dollars in help ing a total of 50,000 persons

LOCAL SHOE REPAIRERs
 HAVE RAISED PRICES.
Increase in$ Cost of Leather Averages
 33 Per Cent. Over Last Year.

Owing to increasing prices in leather, local shoemazers have found it neces- sary to raise the prices on all shoe repair work. Leather during the past three weeks has been advanced about 33 per cent over last years quotations. The prices for sewed soles and heels now range from $1.4o to SEQ; previ- ously the prices were from $1.10 to $1.25; nailed, $1.15 up; previously 95c and up.
 leather dealers in Massachusetts and Connecticut have been cleaned out of their stock and that some grades of leather are not on the market at the present time There is at the present time, owing to the war, tremendous export trade in leather from this coun- try, and only recently over four million pair of shoes were sent to Russia.
