try to spend little time during the
fall and winter marking the. laying
hens and pullets. One good way ia to
buy leg bands. Every two weeks take
time enough to watch the flock, mark
ing the hens that apparently are laying
There are several ways Of choosing
the layers. Those hens that are first
on the roost in the morning and the
last to go to roost at night; those Tint
are found to he good feeders with full
crops Mt night: those that are active
and looking for feed and always seem
to be busy; those that are bright eyed
and go about singing; are good layers.
Good layers usually have full-sized,
red combs that are pllable and inclined
to be slippery. The comb generally
shrlnks, becomes hard. light-colored
and rough when laying ceases. The
skin on laying hen Is usually smooth,
oily, and pliable. The laying hen has
u large abdomen. wide pelvic arch
and good depth from keel to pelvis.
(Broken down and sick hens also some
times show this latter characteristic.)
Laying hens usually have rather loose
bowels but this Is largely due to the ra-
tion. A hen inclined to be constlpated
Is not getting good laying ration.
Best Laying Hena
Late moulting hens are the best lay
ers. Repeated tests show that heavy
producing hens moult late and moult
rapidly. This. IL applied in October
and November. is probably the most
important test Of all. Late moulting
hens have been discarded by many
farmers who think that the early moul-
ters are the winter layers. Early moult-
Ing hens are usually drones.
The color of the shanks is also a
very important consideration In select
Ing layers where the yellow skinned va
rieties are kept. A. reavy laying hen
lays the color out of her feet and
shanks. Their feet become pale or

''Dave," he said, rising to stand over
the squnre-built man In the swing
chair, ats like pulling n sound tooth
to have to tell you The plain trath.
You've got mighty bad case of
money-rot. The profit account has
grown so big with you that you can't
see over the top of 1t. You've horsed
back and forth between Stanton's out
fit and ours until you can't tell the
difference between your old friends
and a bunch of low-down, conscience
less land-pirates. You pull your gun
and go to shooting whenever you get
rendy. Wen stay with you and try
TO hold UP our end--and Johns. And
you mark my words, Dave: you're the
man that's going TO get left in this
deal; the straddler always gets left"
And with that he cut the interview
short and went back to the High Line

SODIUM FLUoRIDE FOR LICE

Fiuid-How to Apply.

Comparatively new and little known
lice remedy is sodium fiuorlde. which
can be used as dust or to make u
dipping fluid. One pound. costing Mt
present 40 to 90 cents, will treat 100
full-grown fowls. If made into dip
II will be sufficient for 300 birds. This
remedy has been found to kill all Of
the seven common varieties of poul-
try lice. When applied as dust. the
usual plan Is to place pinch OF the

skin on the head. neck, back, tail.

Her rich voice was at Its fruitiest,

Orange colored shanks fade slowly.
while light yellow shnnks fade rapidly.
Improve EGG Production.
One of the easiest ways In which to
improve the egg production OF most
flocks fs by breeding to strong. vigor-
ons males from winter-laying strains.
More attention should be given to the
males that head the fiocks. A farmer
should decide upon definite variety,
and find breeder near by who has q
good strain and get new blood from
him. II is not advisable to keep chang
ing varieties.
The number OF females TO male de.
pends upon tine breed, the age of tho
male, the conditions under which stock
Is kept, and upon the general vigor OF
the male. Males of smaller breeds cnn
be mated successfully with more hens
than can the males OF larger breeds.
From 10 to 15 hens Of the Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island
Reds, or OrpingtOns are mated to ono
male, while 20 or 30 hens Of the Leg
horn or the other smaller breeds are
not too many. Where stock has FREQ
range around farm buildings the full
number can be mated and In the small
er yards the less the number that It II
safe to mate. A young. vigorous. fully
matured male will also fertiliEe more
eggs than an old or Immature male.

Avoid OvercrowdIng..

On no account should the laying
stock be OvercrowGed, as when this IL
the case II is next to impossible to se.
cure a good supply Of eggs. Especial
ly is this so during the winter. when
the fowls have to be shut up In their
houses for SO many hours at stretch
and II Is evident that II the air Is
vitlated the best results cannot bs
achieved. As far as possible. each bird
should be allowed two square feet OF
floor space In an ordinary ciOsed-in
house; when the open-fronted form u
used, two-thirds Of this amount Is suf.
ficient. Closely allied to the question
Of overcrcwdlng Is that Of ventilation.
and there should always be some ar
rangement whereby the vitiated air can
pass quickly away, allowing fresh to
take Its place.

GREAT SKILL NEEDED
Constant Care and Ceaseless At
tention Are Essential.
Poultry Keeping Requires knowledge,
Experience and Hard Work-Hen
Is In Her Prime During First
and Second Seasons.

There are thousands who at this
to do In order to have successful
poultry farm is to buy few hens, give
them something to eat, and provide
them with some sort of shed In
which to sleep, and there will be "a
continuous supply OF new-laid eggs
and nice plump chicken for the tn
BILE as often as required. All that one
has to do, therefore, to build up big
business is to increase the number of
hens and the accommodation. How
hopelessly, pitifully mistaken, this is,
only those who possess practical ex-
perience can fully realize. There Is
no branch of agriculture In which
greater skill and knowledge are neces-
sary than In poultry keeping, and there
Is certainly no branch in which con-
stant care and censeless attention are
more imperatively needed.
Obtain Best Results.
It has been found time and again
that when fowls receive proper atten-
nesslike manner, they yield a larger
profit In comparison with the amount
Of capital Invested than do any other
farm stock. Until 1t is fully realized,
however, that poultry keeping Is a
business, requiring skill and expert
ence, common sense and patience,
plenty Of hard work and constant at
tention to detail the best results will
never be achieved.
A very frequent cause Of the egg
supply being small Ii that the laying
stock Is too old. The ordinary class
Of hen does not pay for her keep after
she is two years old. and birds older
than this should be disposed Of. Elk
haustive experiments have proved that
a hen Is In her prime during her first
and second seasons, after which time
she ceases to be profitable. Young

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

It is not only the serious diseases

For this reason every cold should be
