It was Ward who spoke at last.

She had never been "Elinor" to him

"I am sorry you have found me. l

Be sure to clean the dishes in which
you give milk to fowls or chicks at
least once a day and disinfect them by
scalding Otherwise, disease germs
| find in these dishes a very good place
to multiply.
1t is very essential to have the quar-
| ters in which you keep the chickens
sanitary, and also to feed sweet, clean
| food.
Never give spoiled food to young or
old poultry, for it is likely to poison
them or at least to cause digestive
troubles.
In making a change in rations for
little chicks it is better to be on the
safe side and feed small grain instead
of grains that are too large.
There is nothing better for the grow
ing chick than plenty of green feed.
The large body lice on fowls are
best destroyed by the use Of lice oint-
ment which is applied to a certain
part of the hen, or by filling the plum
age full of lice-killing powder which
can be obtained from poultry supply
dealers.
Fumigation for mites is not very sat
isfactory, inasmuch as the poultry
houses are not built sufficiently tight
for this method Of eradication.
The little mites which stay in the
woodwork of the house and attack the
fowls at night can be destroyed by
painting the roosts and nearby wood
work frequently with lice-killing liquid
or even with kerosene.
Be sure to clean the inside of the
hen house, including. the floor and
then thoroughly disinfect it with liquid
disinfectant.

Military Organization of
Romans 1900 Years Ago
Was Model of Efficiency

When Rome invaded the Germanic
countries-about II B., c., or julius
Caesars time-the Roman general staff
was obliged to send back to the rear
along the Rhine and the Lippe-large
amounts of grain and other rations,
says the Peoples Home Journal. The
vessels in which these were transport
ed nearly 1000 years ago have been
found in mounds of earth and refuse
recently excavated. These great earth.
en- vessels are marked with many
inscriptions regarding their con-
tents, showing how carefully the Ro-
man general staff did its work. AS
an example of efficiency the Roman
military organization has been the
wonder of the world From the in
scriptions on these vessels one dis
covers how the Roman soldier was
fed. His rations evidently consisted
of bread, the staff of life, for the
preparation of which the grain was
ground in small hand mills.
Fish, snails, mussels and oysters, as
well as many kinds Of fruit, especially
peaches, were included in the bill of
fare. OF metal vessels the common
man of that day knew very little; he
ate from earthen unglaZed dishes and
cooked his food in pots of the same
ware A curious document has been
found in the caves of the 1000 Budd-
has in India, written about 900 A. D.,
and in a good state Of preservation.
The author, military officer by the
name of Bagatur Chigsli, pronounces
in angry terms his dissatisfaction with
the food supplied by the commissary de-
partment, viz: One sheep and two
butts of water for the commanding Off
Ger and 80 adjutants, all of whose
names are recorded. "Bagui, the
commissary, is a wretched, good-for-
nothing slave" declared Bagatur. This
complaint recorded over 1000 years
ago, is the 'touch of nature which
makes the whole world kim"

The Heart of Home.

Oh, Home is a wonderful thing!
In all the world so wide
There's never place
With half the grace
Of the spot where our own abide!
And always we see 1t clear,
Wherever We may roam,
For Home is the Heart
Of the worlds great mart
And love is the Heart of Home!
oh. hard may the struggle be,
Against the wind and tide;
The waves may dash,
And the thunders crash,
AS the worlds rough sea we ride;
But ever we gain toward shore,
Where a light shines over the foam,
And Loves own strength ..r
Shall win at length, $500
For Love is the Heart of Home!
