Chimney Periscope.

The men in the fireroom Of fac
tory cannot always tell, without going
outside to look, whether the chimney
is smoking, and this is important,
both as matter of economy in burn
ing the coal, and also to enable them
to conform with smoke regulations.
A writer in Power suggests placing a
mirror outside the building and set
ting it at such an angle that the men.
looking out of the window, can see
the reflection of the top of the stack
in the mirror. In some cases where
one mirror cannot be properly To-
Gated, two might be used for the pur-
pose.

A poultry farm built on secure
foundation is sure to be successful IL
afterward properly managed. 1t is
not only necessary to make the right
kind Of start, but the work must be
regularly and faithfully performed,
day in and day out.
AS a rule, beginners start with
great enthusiasm, and not few build
air castles, but to many of them the
sameness Of the work, the close ap-
plication, the constant watching, soon
become monotonous, and then there
Is Sinking Of duty, neglect, care
lessness-and the enterprise becomes
failure. The point is to begin small
measure the size of the initial step
with the amount of capital and expe-
rience at hand.
1t is often the case that men with
more or less available capital prac-
tically put all their money in houses
and stocks. This is mistake, and
more so in the case of those who
have had no personal experience of
the work.
In the parlance Of today, "a man
must be on to his job" He must know
what to do and how best to do it. He
must be aware that inexperience may
cause leaks, and leaks will soon sink
the enterprise.
1t is noteworthy fact that the
most successful poultry farms Of to-
day are those that have started from
a small beginning and gradually ex-
banded as business and experience

TREATING THE AILING HENS
Physlc for Flock May Be Given by
Placing Salt Solution in Mash

When hens go off their feed and you
suspect that their systems need clean
ing out, give them physic, as you
would a person. If it is single fowl,
a half teaspoonful of epson salts may
be dissolved in water and poured
down its neck. For the flock or q
pen the salts solution may be used to
wet a mash.
1t won't hurt the flock to have a

Whv "Pjn Money!"

For q long time after pins were IN
vented in the fourteenth century they
were used only by the wealthy. II
cost so much to manufacture them
that the poor and even the middle
classes, could not afford them. Each
pin was made by filing one end OF a
wire of the proper length to point.
and then twisting piece OF finer wire
about the other end. The complete
process is said to have involved about
thirteen different operations, requir-
ing as many different persons. In 1897
Timothy Harris of England succeeded
in making the first solid-headed pin.
In 1924 an American named Wright
made a great Improvement over Har-
ris method. and I'm 1881 John /. Howe
OF New York city invented a machine
for making pins as we now have them.
At one period, when pins were ex-
pensive luxuries, 1t was customary to
give a young lady a certain amount
on her marriage for pin money" The
custom disappeared long ago, but the
term pin money" remains.
