 Be careful that the growing chicks do not crowd in their GOODS as they become larger and need more room.
 It is wise to scald all feed and drink dishes every few days with boiling water to kill the germs that collect there before they (the germs) have a chance to attack tEe fowls.
 Don't let the drinking water for the fowls and chicks stand around and become hot and filthy, but give new supply frequently during the day cleaning out the water dish each time

Shuttinq Up the Shop.

It is rather surprising to the foreign CT visiting South American countries for the first time to find most of the best and prettiest shops almost her- medically sealed at night. If the build- ing is of the older style of construc- ton the heavy shutters are closed and locked by iron bars; if a more modern building, the flexible sliding doors and windows are completely drawn, and the passerby can see nothing within the shop.
 All is darkness save the light of the street lamps; no brilliantly lighted windows help to add cheer and bright ness to the street.
 In European and American cities the average merchant is willing to spend money freely for nightly display of his wares and merchandise. He real izes and appreciates the publicity. The evening crowds upon our streets are highly entertained and even in- structed by window displays of the busy streets.
 Herein lies the difference; for, as d rule, the South American streets, busy and attractive during the day, are quite the reverse at night. Even in some of the larger cities the old custom of dramatically sealing the shop at night prevails.

asks hubby. "He was a good husband man cannot live with the dead, you know and as fer that matter she's as dead now as she will ever be. A man must down his sorrow or it will down him.
 ''The report is that he is to marry. He has just bought fine new house. furnishing it from top to bottom, and an automobile. He did not do that for the first one. She went to house. keeping in tiny flat, did her own out clothes, having barely enough GOV. ering her to keep people from talking. It was by her thrift that money enough was saved to start him in business, and now another woman is to enjoy what she toiled for" exclaims the wife. "Is that right?''
 Hubby was too obtuse to see that he was making trouble for himself when he retOrted quickly. "The first wife wanted to work and pinch and S"'N, thdt WdS hcl piedSuTe. He WdS poor then; he's rich now and can af- ford to give this one comforts, even luXuries. This woman will find no oc- casion for toiling, seeing that he can keep her without. The first one loved him through poverty. Probably this one would not have married him at that stage of the game. There's a diff ference in women, you know"
 That conversation opened the wife,s eyes to the fact that she should crowd as much happiness and sunshine as possible into each day of her life. and while doing her duty to save for her husband, she should not forget that little recreation from toil now and then was time and money we'll spent she being the gainer thereby in health and cheerfulness, and that although many husbands refuse to admit if. the average man appreciates the wife for whose outing pleasures he must plan and contribute. She must not be his toiling slave. She must be his com panion in his joys and an agreeable one at that. A husband should see to it that the wife who tolls hard in his interest should have all the comforts and pleasures which he can reasonably afford showered upon her while she Is able to enjoy them.
