WAY OF SPREADING DISEASE
Dirty Water Pan 10 ourest Way Of
Creating Trouble Among Men,
bers Of Any Flock.

How often do you clean up the wa.
ter pans in your henhouses? You
ought to clean them every day. For
dirty water pan is the surest way Of
spreading disease throughout your
flock.
The best way of handling water In
the poultry house is to keep 1t in q
cheap, fiat washbasin that can be
easily cleaned and refllled. It doesn't
pay to bother with patent water tanks.
You will have to fill them Just as Of
ten as the basins. and they are harder
to clean up.
Place the open basin on a box some
eight or ten inches high and perhaps
eighteen inches square, and make a
runway for 1t. This keeps it from
filling up with dirt and straw from
the floor. and the hens do not climb
into 1t in drinking.
Then put the box and basin in a
sunny corner Of the house away from
the roosts and nests, 80 that no dirt
can fall into 1t from above
Clean it and refill it with clean.
fresh water every day and you will
have put the disease germs to flight

SHIP EGGS LONG DISTANCES
Ing Excelsior for Packing
JoItinQ Causes Trouble.

II Matching eggs are carefully
packed in a basket with a good cush-
ion of excelsior in the bottom, they
will carry great distances and give
good results. It must not be expected,
however. that they will give as large
q percentage of hatch as might be the
case nearer home.
1t is the jolting eggs are apt to get
by transportation by rail, that is likely
to weaken strong germ or kill q
weak one. For that reason they should
be well packed in excelsior. Excel.
sior is to be preferred to any other
material, as it is OF springy nature;
and baskets are better than boxes. for
the reason that being more convenient
to handle. railroad employees are nat
urally more careful with them.

MARY ELLEN.

Mary Ellen's mother died when she
was baby. and her father, who went
on long sea voyage. took his little
girl to live with his two sisters, VINO
were maiden ladies and lived in the
country. Aunt Susan and Aunt Han
nah loved Mary Ellen very dearly. but
they were not used to children. and
when Mary Ellen was old enough 10
want pretty dresses they could not
understand why a Bingham apron with
long sleeves and buttoned in the back
was not the proper thing for her tn
wear to school. and they thought her
hair braided and tied at the very end
much more sensible than having 1t in
curls around her shoulder
Mary Ellen had black eyes. and
sometimes they would fash with anger

the litter, or as a change from the
| others, 1t will of course not be neces-
sary to feed so much Of the expensive
grains
The small potatoes and the potato
parings and trimmings from other veg
etables used in the house can be
boiled. sailed and peppered, as for the
table. and little bran and cornmeal
mixed with them, Just enough to take
up the surplus moisture. so that the
mixture will not be sloppy. This
makes good, and also a very mex
pensive mash feed. With it may be
mixed the meat scraps.
Beef bones and scraps should be run
through bone cutter, or be chopped
up by hand into small pieces. before
giving to the hens.
Skim milk costs really nothing on
the farms, and if the hens have all of
it they will drink. they will not eat
so much other food.
II these cheap feeds are handled
right. 1t will leave only the last feed
at night to be Of the high-priced
grains, and II well fed during the days
on these other things. they will not
eat so much Of 1t then.
They should have good feed OF
grain. mostly corn for their supper. in
order to keep them healthy and sup
ply bodily heat during the cold
weather
BY following these suggestions. the
hens can be almost entirely kept on
the waste products of the farm. and
what is received for the eggs will be
nearly all profit.
II properly housed and given plenty
of warm water to drink. they will lay
we'll on this bill Of fare. and we can
rejoice over a good supply Of eggs
when winter is here and the price
goes soaring.

NEED CARE IN COOKING
CEREALS MUST BE PREPARED
WITH ExACTITUDE.
To Bring Out the Full Food Value OF
the Grain Requires Skill and
Thought on the Part Of
the Housewife.

We have no fault to find with the
many excellently prepared and 20
| called cooked cereals which from time
| to time are found appetizing and
agreeable in appearance, but there is
also need OF cereals which require
| long continued cooking to extract the
| full value of the grain and bring 1t to
are oatmeal, wheat. hOminy, rice and
corn. BY whatever neme the various
ground preparations are called, they
all need continued, intense cooking to
burst the starch cells. soften the sur
rounding husk tissues. and make them
thoroughly fit for human food.
Cracked wheat ia q coarse form Of
wheat with particularly nutty favor.
So-called whole" or "pinhead" oat-
meal has advantages over the more
usual rolled" form. Good hominy.
which Is now no longer prepared with
I've, is another breakfast food which
should be more frequently used.
Cornmeal. although fallen into disre.
spect and considered common, per-
haps. Is one OF the best of cool wealth
and thus in heat-producing qualities.
Oatmeal is the one cereal containing
the largest amount Of protein or mus
cle-forming nutrtment. That is. 1t is
comparable to meat or any cereals.
and contains less starch. 1t Is there
fore, perhaps. the cereal which should
be most frequently given to the grow
ing child. The whole grain must be
soaked all day and then steamed sew
eral hours. but in this form 1t fur
nishes splendid and sufficient break
fast cereal.
Next to oatmeal comes wheat with
a higher per cent OF starch. 1t should,
however. be used in as nearly the nat
ural state as possible-that is, the
cracked grain with the outer coat re-
naming in which are stored the i'm
portant mineral elements which make
bone and the best kind of tissue HON.
my is almost entirely starch and there
fore needs the most perfect cooking
in order that the starch shells may be
adequately burst and cooked.
For all of these cereals either a
steam cooker or q fireless cooker is
preferable. Given half hours quick
boiling at night they may be placed
in the f1reless cooker. preferably with
the heated radiator under them, and
allowed to cook slowly with the re- ,
tanned heat of the fireless. Sufficient
water should always be put on them
to allow perfect swelling Of each grain.
Such cereals. when properly cooked.
are not q "mush" but of q uniform,
creamy consistency. 1t may take time
c rather little more effort to cook
cereals properly. but the effort is
more than repaid In the quality of the
food. The cool weather cereal should |
be point OF special care with the
housewife.

4 Good Sour Milk Ration.
Corn 4 parts.
Wheat. 2 parts.
Bran middlings, l part.
C0rnmeal, l part.
Sour milk separately.
Give 100 hens 2h gallons OF
milk and from 10 to 25 pounds
of other food q day.

While this 10 q higher record than eli.
Their Of the others, the sour milk is so
much cheaper and easier to get on
most farms.
At 20 cents a dozen, the eggs from
the hens fed sour milk brought $29.71
and those from the hens fed beef
scrap, 5000. The difference wouldn't
begin to pay for the extra cost and
trouble Of beef scrap.
The big thing to remember is that
the hens fed no animal food brought
little more than half as much egg
money. Theory and experience both
say Feed the laying hen sour milk as
part of her ration

VAL LIABLE FEED FOR LAYERS
Missouri Agricultural College Export
: Recommends Giving Hens Sour
! Milk In Their Rations.

(By H. L. KEMRoTER, Professor OF
Poultry Husbandry of the Missouri
College Of Agriculture.)
Milk or meat In the ration may
make all the difference between profit
and loss. We know from our tests at
the experiment station and from the
experience Of poultry men everywhere.
We got only 945 eggs from pen
of hens that ate no animal food, while
another pen of hens. no better in any
way, but fed sour milk, laid 1888.
Those fed beef scrap laid 1902 eggs.

(By L. NJ. BENNINGTON)
All kinds OF grain. both whole and
ground. are so high In price that II
will pay US to study how to feed the
hens as cheaply as possible and still
secure good results.
Bran is a heavy expense, and the
amount used can be greatly lessened
by feeding cut clover. or cowpea hay.
These contain the same elements as
wheat bran and are very palatable for
the hens, when steamed.
Cut or break the hay into small
pieces, pack into tub or bucket and
pour over it all the boiling water it
will absorb. then cover closely and let
stand thirty or forty minutes before
feeding. In the winter when the hens
cannot get green grass they relish this
very much.
Sprouted grains are another cheap
food. This was sold few years ago
as poultry secret" of feed at 16
cents a bushel. Oats are generally
used for this, although wheat, rye and
other grains are as good.
The grain should be soaked for "a
hours, or even Sc hours, in warm wa
ter. when spread in shallow boxes and
kept in a warm place. Keep moist by
sprinkling two or three times a day
with warm water Feed when the
sprouts are about two inches long.
The hens will eat grains and sprouts
both, and by the process Of sprouting
the amount Of feed is greatly increased
without increasing the cost.
Sunflower seeds. If raised in the odd
corners where nothing else will grow
to advantage, really cost us nothing.
Hang the heads up where the hens
will have to work a little to get them.
or scatter the seeds in the litter
II these seeds are fed mixed with
the other grains that are scattered in

because her aunts dressed her in such
quaint style. This summer, how
ever, they had bought pretty colored
material for her dresses, and the
aprons were laid aside. She also had
pair of tan shoes and stockings tC

every possible occasion, but her aunts
called them her best" and she did
not often escape their watchful eyes.

picnic she heard her Aunt Hannah
tell Aunt Susan that Mary Ellen
must wear her black shoes to the pic

on the stones and briers."
Now. Mary Ellen knew when her
Aunt Hannah said q thing must be
done there was no use asking to do
anything different, so she did not make
any complaint. but the day before the
picnic. when her aunts were In the
front Of the house, she went out the
back door with something folded In
her skirt. She walked down the road
a short distance to an old hollow tree,
then she stopped and looked around.
There was no one in sight. and she
took from her folded skirt the tan
shoes and stockings and put them in
the opening. The next morning her
Aunt Hannah gave her a basket of
lunch. and Mary Ellen started for the
picnic.
Il am surprised that Mary Ellen did
not put on her tan Shoes" said Han.

her getting her to wear her old ones"
Perhaps she thought they would be
spoiled in the woods" said Susan
"She is getting to be real careful OF
her clothes. l think"
Meanwhile Mary Ellen had reached
the tree where the tan shoes were hid
den; she took them out and sat down.
Then she took of the black shoes
and stockings and put on the tan. The
black ones she put in the tree, and
continued on her way to the picnic.
When Mary Ellen was out of sight a
tramp who had been watching her
came out Of the woods. He went to
the tree. took out the shoes and stock
ings and put them in his pocket, and
the first place he came to he sold
them. But Mary Ellen was uncon.
scious Of all this and was soon with
her friends at the picnic grounds. She
had nice day. and not until she left
the girls at the village did she think
about deceiving her aunts, then her

story. You better tell them as soon

voice by saying: We'll. they might
have let me wear the shoes; it would |
not hurt them" But the voice said:

Ten Thousand Miles
Trenches in France

London.-There are at least 10 0Go
miles of trenches now in the western
theater Of the European war, accord
ing to II. Warner Allen, special cor
respondent of the British press with
the French army. He writes:
In the section of the French lines
that have just been visiting there
are already, on a front of Just over 10
miles, 375 kilometers Cor slightly over
234 miles, of trenches. To make GER
tainty still more sure another rs ki]o-
meters Tor 46 miles) of other trenches
are dug, 81 that by the first of the
year there were in the neighborhood
of $50 miles of trenches on 10 miles
of front.
ELSEWHERE a certain division has
200 miles of trenches to look after.
while a certain corps d'armee has 45O
miles. Taking these figures into con-
sideration, one will certainly be under
the mark in estimating that there are
70 miles of trenches to every mile of
front, so that between Switzerland
and the North Sea the British and
french armies have at least 10 O.
miles of trenches to guard and keen
in order"
