One of the greatest mistakes poul-
try raiser can make is to allow sick
and ailing birds to run with the rest of
the stock. In this way the sick bird
drinks from the same pan that the 9th
ers use, and the disease spreads most
rapidly. Chickens with the gapes or
any other trouble will easily transmit
the disease through the medium of the
drinking-pan. The safest way is TO
take the sick bird out and keep 1t away
from the rest of the stock until it has
entirely recovered.
An old farmer who is now off the
active list, but still lives on the farm
and raises poultry as diversion, says
he visited many of the largest poultry
shows in the country just to inspect
some of the best birds of the new va
rieties, and he declares emphatically
that he has never seen anything better
than the Plymouth Rock and Wyan-

the wall opposite the three-winiow

A double-acting door leads from the
dining room into the kitchen. The
value of the arrangement of this part
of the house will be appreciated by
every housewife. At the rear of the
kitchen are the pantry and the rear
porch. Both of these may be used to
very good advantage in connection
with the kitchen. The pantry is fit

Complain of Nests.
If hen could speak, the first thing
she would complain of would be the
nests. The first complaint would prob
ably be in regard to their size and the
meager amount of nesting material al
lowed her. Then we should hear about
the location being so public, and not
q bit of whitewash there to kill the
mites. Some of the nests are low
down; of course it is easy for the hen
to reach them, but thew are also handy
for the pup you set such store by. Oh,
no; the eggs won't hurt the dog, but
eggs at % cents per dozen make a
pretty expensive diet for growing dogs.
There are remedies for most of the
diseases that afflict poultry, but sick

Hamlet and Other Men.

Hamlet is not SO much an individual
as humanity individualiZed, not so

Probably no poet, no artist, no phil
osopher has ever existed who would
not recognize kinsman in him, and
who would not read more than one
chapter of his own most secret history

PRODUCTION or BIGGER EGGS
Purdue Experiment Station Thinks 1t
Possible to Produce Eggs of Bet
ter Color and Shape.

Is it possible to produce bigger
eggs, or more uniformly colored eggs,
or eggs with firmer white or yellower
yolk than we are at present produc-
ing? The Purdue experiment station
thinks it is, and the eighth annual
Purdue egg show last May had on
display $40 dozen eggs. There We're
represented the commercial class, the
fanciers' class, the experiment station
class, the students class, the high
school class, the freak egg class, be-
sides several others. The object of the
show is to encourage the production of
more and better eggs.

EGGS DURING WINTER
Early Hatched PulIets Must Be
Given Best of Care.
Select Most Desirable Fowls for Breed
ing Purposes and Keep Only Few
of Choicest cockereIs--Fur-
nish Green Feed.

There is no need of farmers carry
ing a flock of poultry all through the
winter without getting eggs. To Sc
cure plenty of eggs in winter the early
Matched pullets must have the best OF
care from the beginning. That is,
they must be kept growing from the
time of Matching until fully matured,
which should be about the first of
November.
So far as facilities are concerned
the farmer has everything coming
his way and there is no reason why
his flock of pullets should not produce
an abundance of eggs during the win
ter season. With but little attention
pullets which have free range where
they may CLEAN an endless variety or
seeds, bugs, worms and grain, sun
shine and fresh air, shade and pure
water than can be so easily provided,
will, without doubt, make very rapid
development and mature mucii earlier
than pullets kept where these natural
surroundings are not to be had.
Another important point is the Gull
ing of the flock. The early Matched
chicks, when sufficiently developed to
distinguish the sex, should, if possible,
be separated, as the pullets will grow
and thrive much better by themselves.
Select the most desirable pullets for
breeding purposes and keep only a
few of the choicest cockerels. The pull
lets are placed in their winter quarters
and fed as great variety of food as the
farm usually produces to get them in
a laying conditS2n as soon as possible.
Feed them plenty Of green food, such
as cabbage leaves, all small apples and
potatoes, turnip tops, in fact, anything

to cut rose. When rose is cut from

building the bare walls, floors, ceilings
and roof of the larger house.
There are any number of ways in
which small house may be made
homelike. The most important pre-
caution to be observed in the arrange
ment of the rooms is that of providing
space for furniture already in the
possession of the owner, or about to
be purchased. This applies to the
larger pieces of furniture, such as the
piano or divan. Each room should be
given individual features which most
thoroughly fit it to furnish the desired
qualities. In the living room most
people like a fireplace, and built-in
book-c cases furnish very handy and
useful feature. The housewife will no
doubt appreciate buffet in the dining
room. A pantry is a great help in
the preparation of meals. A clothes
chute saves steps and keeps soiled
linen out of the way. These and many
other features are easily provided and
the expense of their construction is
more than paid back in the conve-
nience and comfort which they pro-
vide.
The bungalow shown in the illustra-
ton is an excellent type of home for
the family that takes pride in max
ing the various rooms of the house in
which they live az cozy and attrac-
tive as possible. Of course, for such
a family the house must, in itself,
have the qualities of coziness and at
tractiveness or no amount of labor will
seem to produce just the effect that is
desired. The bungalow seems to be
the right type, and this particular de-
sign has many desirable features from
this standpoint.
The outside walls of the bungalow
are plastered in white or some light
shade of gray. Wood trim is finished
dark in contrast to the light walls. A
hip roof is used with small dormers
having their sides finished with shin
giles. Brick chimneys are used for the
fireplace, furnace and kitchen stove.
The porch is very attractive and USE
full. 1t is built across the front of the
house and extends on one end so that
steps along the side of the house make
1t accessible from the rear. The end
of the porch near these steps is built
IN the, pergola style. The general ex-
terror design Is simple but very at
active.

the same, excepting that tulips take
more time than the others.
Here are few hints:
A six-lnch pot Is the best for all
purposes.
Use light garden soil in potting.
Place piece of broken pot over the
hole in the bottom to secure free drain
age.
Fill the pot three-quarters with soil.
Three hyacinths, as many narcissus,
five tulips and II dozen crocuses can
be placed In n six-inch pot.
Space evenly.
The practice of placing d layer of
clean sand directly under the bulbs is
always good. 1t helps keep the newly
formed roots clean, but It Is not es-
sential to success. A dark corner of
the cellar Is q good place to place the
pots. The keeping of the soil damp
Is thereby aided. In the winter prop
er some of the quick-growing species
may be grown In water. Hyacinths.
paper-white narcissus and sacred Chi
nese lilies are among the best for this
purpose. Fill the glass with water.
so that 1t just touches the bottoms of
the bulbs, and set in a dark place I'M
til the glass Is filled with roots. Then
bring into the room, and change the
water once or twice week. Tempera-
ture of from go to 65 degrees Is about
right for the venture.
Personally, / like to experiment with
bulbs. The results are usually assured
with small care.

WAR THREATENS FLOWERS
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTHuYsEN


1t is good, far cry from the grim
horrors of war to the pretty hyacinth
and the crocus, but recent news brings
the interesting information that the
great European conflict Is presenting
a serious menace to the chief source
of imported bulbs.
Private advices received in New
York from flower folk in Holland,
who cannot be considered as preju-
diced or even interested In the larger
affairs of state, say that there is dam
ger of having the bulb supply for the
next half century destroyed. Holland
has her army ready to fight either
side, and she has a number of issues
which might make her entry possible.
As q first item Of defense she plans
to flood all the lands In her dixie sys-
TEN.
This, say the flower experts, will re-
suit in the destruction of the great
bulb industry. Not for so years, ac-
cording to the sages of flowerdom,
will the industry recover from such a
calamity.
All Of which Is but a news preface
to the remark that the raising of bulbs
in pots, pans and glasses during the
winter months is simple and mex
pensive process If one Is fairly care
full of the requirements Among the
many methods by which bulbs can be
successfully grown, there are:
In soil placed in pots and pans, with
drainage at the bottom.
In fiber, which is light, spongy ma
terial, prepared with view to prevent
souring. Bowls, jardinieres, vases or
any other receptacles where the roots
can take hold may be used.
In water, with pebbles or sand in the
bottom Of glasses, to prevent the bulbs
from falling over.
Hyacinths, narcissus, daffodlls, tu-
lips and crocus are among the joys
that are easily possible with little eff
fort. Almost every dealer in the coun-
try has his stock of bulbs ready for
the market.
If forcing is wanted. the larger bulbs
should be taken. They grow larger
and stronger flowers. The last Of No
vember is not too late for planting,
and the treatment of all bulbs is about

to make a variety, which is greatly
relished by the flock. Milk, either
sweet or sour, is fed to them, all that
they will drink every day. Fresh wa
ter is kept constantly before them. 1t
never pays to compel poultry to drink
avoided by cleaning their drinking YES
sells each day. Success in getting eggs
in winter is due to keeping the flock
healthy and in a good thrifty condi-
ton. The poultry house and yards are
kept in a sanitary condition, as this is
the first requisite of successful poultry
keeping.

placed on the rear porch, and, since
this porch is open on one side only, a
great many uses may be found for the
porch during the season when the tenn
perature will permit its use.
There are two bedrooms, each hav-
ing large closet, one at the front of
the house and the other at the rear.
A hall connects all rooms with the ex-
ception of the dining room. There is
a closet in the hall which furnishes a
handy place in which to keep extra
bedclothes. The bath is roomy and
well equipped. A special feature in
this part of the house is the clothes

COMPEL FOWLS TO EXERCISE
All Grain Should Be Fed in Deep Lit
ter-Birds Should Always Be
Eager for Feed.

Feed the grain in deep litter ON the
floor and make the hens exercise for
all of their grain. The mash may be
fed either wet or dry, and should be
so regulated that the fowls will get
about equal parts of mash and of the
scratch grains.
1t is necessary to give the fowls
plenty to eat to get good results, but
the birds should always be eager for
each feed.
