KEEP MOTHER HEN CONFINED
Loss of Chicks by Exposure Largely PreVentable by Keeping Hen in
 Ventilated Coop.

If Is not good poultry management to allow the mother hen to range un- restricted with her chicks. With such freedom the hen frequently takes her brood through wet grass and. as re- suit. some are chilled and die, espe- eially the weaker ones which are like ly to be left behind. The loss of young chicks which follows such practice is large and mainly preyentable. Fur thermore, the food which n brood al lowed to range with the hen obtains goes very largely to keep up the heat of the body and the chicks do not make as good growth us they other wise would
 Chick losses of this nature can be largely prevented by shutting the hen in coop Any style of coop which Is dry. ventilated and can be closed at night te protect the brood against cats, rats and other animals, ane

PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
As Soon as Fowl Is Killed Dip 1t in Hot Water Three Times, Then
 Wrap in Blanket.

Much of the trouble experienced when picking geese may be avoided if the goose, as soon as dead. is dipped in water almost at the boiling point three times and then wrapped tightly in a blanket or other material which will hold the steam. This will thor oughly steam the feathers and down. so that IL will come off easily. Don't allow the goose to remain wrapped up more than full minute.

PRODUCING EGGS IN SUMMER
Better Methods of Caring for Eggs and Proper Packing Would Reduce
 Needless Loss.

Losses in eggs during the summer months fall directly upon the farmers. Dealers know that an average of i5 to IS per cent of eggs marketed during the summer is either a total or par tial loss; hence prices, they say, are based upon good eggs only.
 Better methods of caring for the eggs and better packing before they are shipped would reduce this unnec- essary loss.
 X few definite rules for the pre- vention of loss in summer eggs are formulated hy the poultry division at the Pennsylvania State college: CD Produce sterile or infertlle eggs. @ Keep eggs in cool, dry place. t3) Have clean nests and plenty of them. f4) Do not keep the eggs near kerosene or decaying vegetables. They absorb odors readily t5) Market the eggs ire qnently. Holding does not improve quality.

 The day of standardization in the egg market is here. When eggs sold for cent apiece, the claim ''an egg Is an egg. was accepted With our present increased prices, the con- sumer naturally Is asking for great er quality and higher standardization in the products he buys.
 number of our best markets are now demanding that eggs shall weigh at least 24 ounces per dozen They must stand a candling test. be clean. uniform in size, shape and color of shell.
 When rigid standards are well es- tablished the producer of first-cass fresh eggs will receive premium and will no longer have his prices governed by the ungraded. poorly handled product.

The hen should be confined until the chicks are weaned though small yard may be attached 10 the coop, If desired. to al- low the hen to exercise The fence can be raised from the ground far enough to allow the chicks to go in or out, but not high enough for the hen to escape.

Salt Held in Reverence.

The superstitions with regard to salt are endless. That the spilling of salt Is unlucky is perhaps the commonest of all superstitious beliefs, and pre- vails in the kitchen as we'll as at the table. There are Scottish households where salt is still held in such rever- ence that the salteellar used at the family table is invariably kept stand ing on the family Bible.

Death in Life.

What we call "death" is, after all. merely the continuation, premature or natural, of the dying that is going on within us each minutA Every blow we strike, every thought we think. is ac- companied by the death of certain amount of muscular or nervous tissue, In health the death" is followed by new life-the tissue is renewed.

Charlton May Not Cause
Swelling.

The first Charlton case of the
season in a given community is
usually one of internal Charlton
caused by food or water that is in
fected with germs of the disease.
Unless the animal is under very
close observation no preliminary
symptoms are likely to be noticed.
The animal is seized very sudden
ly with great depression. the tenn
perature rises rapidly, the mucous
membrane of the eyes, nose and
mouth are of dark red color. and
the solid and liquid excrements
may have a blood-stained appear
ance. As this form of Charlton is
found most commonly i'll cattle,
mistakes are often made in identi
flying the disease; the hides are re-
moved and the carcasses are not
destroyed as they should be.
Under no conditions should the
hide of an animal be removed dur
ing an outbreak of Charlton with
out first making microscopic
blood test for the Charlton germs
SHINING a charbonous carcass not
only spreads infection but endan.
gers the life of the person remov-
ing the hide. =.
sMany people hold the opinion
that every case of Charlton must
show an external swelling. This
however, is not the case. All sud
den deaths of animals, whether
there is swelling or not, during the
summer months should be consi-
dered suspicious of Charlton unless
it is known definitely that some
other agency was the cause.-Har.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There 10 only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness. and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is caused
BY an inflaDed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling SOUND or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
eau bs reduced aud this tube restored TO
its norma, condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh. which is al
intlamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood Oh the mucous surfaces Of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any CASE of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not BIZ cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

DRIVERS, BE CAREFUL.

While automobile accidents are oc-
curing elsewhere, many of them
shocking and costly in the toll of hui
man lives, our own is escaping with
remarkably few. 1t is not the purpose
of this little dissertation to boast, but
to pass on bit of advice now while it
may help us to be careful. In the
greatly increasing traffic we have
much to cause us to be on guard
A fast automobile in the hands of
child is a dangerous engine of
death. Many children on our streets
are in charge of cars of all sizes and
power. They go and come remarka-
bly, often witSput mishap. But we are
exposing ourselves all the time and
taking greater risks IS we grow older.
Human life is worth more than tr
be treated as a trifle while somebody
takes a chance with an automobile.
There is never a day when there are
not examples of daring risks. They
are common. Every person ought
to try to avoid even chance with a
car. Instead there is rather a fond
ness on the part of many drivers for
the very opportunity of a chance. Such
course can only mean disaster at
one time or another. The daredevil
driver who loves risk takes one too
many and suffers.
1t. is thing to be appreciated on
all sides that there have been so few
accidents in this community, but it is
another thing altogether different
when we become so careless and dar-
ing as to- make it absolutely impossi-
BILE to get along without accidnts.
Speeding in the thickly congested ar
teries of traffic, if it is kept up, will
bring sorrow to somebody right soon.
While we are yet safe, it will be
well to remember the danger and
guard against it. Only this will save
us our continued freedom from auto
mobile tragedies
