LAYING CONDITION OF HENS

and Texture of Comb.

There are four physical indications
of hens laying condition, says o.
B. Kent, poultry Instructor at Cornell
university. These are the time of
melting, color of shanks, texture of
comb and color of ear lobe. The first
and third points apply to all breeds.
the others only to those having yellow
shanks and yellow ear lobes.
Good layers mott late and quickly.
If you go through the flock the first
of October and pick out the hens that
are just beginning to molt, or have not
started, you will get most of those
which are laying.
In yellow skin breeds the paleness
of the shanks after period of laying
is a good condition of a hens ca
paeity. Any bird with bright yellow
shanks after year of laying may be
picked out as a good producer.

OBJ iects to Poultry Shows.

Poultry shows are. as a rule. not a
money making proposition. They are
promoted and conducted by organiza.
tons composed OF poultry fanciers,
who are interested in educating the
public in the breeding of purebred
poultry of all standard varieties The
door receipts help to pay the many
cash prizes and other trophies offered
to encourage the breeding of better
specimens of the various varieties OF
our domesticated fowls. Without these
exhibitions the progress of improve
ment in the standard varieties would
be reduced to a minimum. and the
poultry raisers be handicapped in their
endeavor TO advance the growth of the
pure-bred poultry industry in this
country.

about - per cent better for growth

for growth is improved about 40 per
cent by adding proportion of about
two fifths of animal meal, or, in other
words, it has been abundantly proved
by the most thorough tests that
growth and health will be greatly pro-
NOTED by feeding a heterogeneous ration
instead of Il carbonaceous one; that
animal meal in the ration for duck
lings will make gain of about three
to one over a ration that is wholly
vegetable; that over 20 per cent more
food is required to make pound of
growth on a vegetable diet than with
ration having a mixture of meat;
that crowded yards are the source of
most of the evils to which poultry is
liable; that dust bath Is as profit
able for hens as water brooks for
ducks. and that the buying of cheap
or imperfect birds with the intention
of breeding up is not profitable.

insincere ones will gloss them over and
secretly rejoice in seeing her make
mistakes which in the end may prove
fatal to her happiness, even her repu-
tation.
If young woman is extremely pop
ular with the opposite sex, she is sure
to create envy among the less prepos=
sessing of her own sex. These girls
envy her, but consider it exceedingly
clever on their part to keep in close
companionship with her to be intro
duced to her young men friends and,
through her, get the opportunity of
meeting them often. They flatter the
popular girl, slyly, coyertly putting her
on the wrong track whenever possible.
They are sweet to her face. but de
fame her in the hitterest sarcasm be-
hind her back. They do their utmost
to influence her to choose hats and
costumes that are the most unbeeom=
ing To her and praise way of wear
ing her hair that changes her from a
pretty young woman into a freak.
They pooh-p0oh her old mother :
wise counsel when they are alone with
her, pouring unVise suggestions in her
ear. They tell her it is Il pity that she,
the bright particular star of the ball
should be obliged TO 90 home at eleven
o'clock, which is just the edge of the
evening. to please the notion of an
old lady who has forgotten what il is
To be young and gay The real reason
behind their urging her to remain un-
til the ball breaks up is that many of
the most desirable young men leave
after the popular girl has gone home.
If she has two would=be lovers, one
splendid business man of sterling
honor and reputation, the other a
trifling Re'er do well, with a good
looking face her false, envious friends
will do their utmost in subtle way
to influence her to choose the rake in
direct opposition of her happiness and
welfare.
EnvieuS friends are a thousand times
worse than an ayowed foe one knows
what to expect from an enemy. The
eHNlOuS lFlenu strikes II tTedCGeTouS
blow in the dark. A girl should have
as wide circle of desirable acquain-
tances as possible but the friends she
clasps to her bosom she should be sure
of through long contact and expert
ence with them.
If poverty or disaster comes to a
woman. then she will soon be able to
sift the wheat of real friendship from
the chaff. When a girl makes the I'M
welcome discovery that certain wom-
en- are envious of her past all doubt
ing she should avoid them as much as
possible. Treat them with courtesy,
but shut all the approaches to her
heart against them. True friendship
is the secret sympathy. the silver
link, the silken tie which heart to
heart and mind to mind. in body and
in soul can bind" Envy writhes at
another's joy and hates that excel

friends. no one in wnOm she can con-
fide. II is the nature of the young to
be romantic. some 10 be more inclined
toward sentiment and influenced by II
than others. When her first lover
crosses her path many such young
girl is at a loss as to whether she
should give or deny the kisses her sui
tor pleads for.
1t is these young girls to whom a
strict word, a sharp but kindly meant
rebuke in the lick of time, may pre-
vent a youthful heart from knowing
life's saddest lesson, a young life from
going astray.
While no lard and fast rule can be
laid down to offset lovers arguments,
girls should be made to realize that
there is no way by which a girl can
lose young mans respect and her
own self-respect and maiden modesty
more quickly than to permit man
who has not yet proposed marriage
the privilege of kiss. A man may
pooh-pooh this statement as much as
he likes, but down deep in his heart
he knows it to be absolutely true
