Poultry Pointers

A hen, like human being, needs to
be made comfortable in order to do
the best work.
AS soon as the breeding season is
over the male birds should be sepa-
rated from the hens.
The business of our domestic hen is
to produce plenty of eggs. and we must
feed her for them.
Ducks and geese require deep drink
ing vessels, especially if reared and
kept on land.
Spoiled or decaying flesh, If eaten,
will surely cause limberneck. Burn or
bury the dead.
A little beef scraps or cut, fresh
bone will help the pullets and the we'll
molted hens to start laying.
Feeding fowls on one grain, or not
feeding them enough, is very expensive,
because it produces loss instead of a
profit.
Remember that an egg is more than
half water and that the fowls must
have plenty of clean, fresh water to
drink at all times.
If the most of the grain fed to the
fowls is corn 1t must be balanced by
giving them plenty of wheat bran and
beef scraps or cut fresh bone.
When the hens cannot obtain green
stuff in the fields, 1t must be supplied
to them in the form of cabbage, man
gels or something of that kind.
While plenty OF fresh air is neces-

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to

Houses Go to Sea.

Houses do not often so to sea in a
boat, but quite number of those be-
longing to the Pan-American exposition
at San Francisco are having this ex-
perience. They have been sold to buy
ers at distance and are being trans
ported in barges drawn by tugs. The
Ohio building, which is 132 feet long,
80 feet wide and nearly so feet high,
has been moved 81 miles down the bay
to San Carlos, where it will be used
for clubhouse. Two 6O0-ton barges
were so placed that they were out of
water at low tide. when the building
was placed upon them, and tloated out

MILK AS A "BRACER"
Rx DAVID STONE KELsEY.

The Pasteur institute of Paris makes
the declaration that one of the most
powerful stimulants known is milk. 1t
has been in use for months now as
the one stimulant for the French sol
diers in the trenches, and its effect on
them has amply justified the state
ment made by the famous institute in
regard to it.
Milk has been used literally to stim-
ulate the French soldiers before they
go into battle and its effects have
been such that the French government
has urged the sale of milk in prefer
ence to other soft drinks behind the
trenches when the soldiers go off duty
for their spells of rest and recreation.
That the qualities of stimulation
should be demonstrated on the fight
ing men should commend the beverage
to those engaged in the pursuits OF
peace in those parts of the world
where Mars does not now rule. While
alcohol may fire the brain and dull
the sensibilities and thus impart a
false courage milk, according to the
learned scientists of the Pasteur in
stitute, performs the work of keying
up the individual without affecting the
keenness of his senses or the cooiness
of his judgment. High courage ana
a clear perception of what they are
doing is necessary for the best work
in all the arts and professions, as well
as in the handicrafts and in trade.
This fluid hitherto has been consid-
cred synonymous with all that is mia
and peaceful. Advocates of prepared
ness have referred to "these milk-and-
water pacifists." The milk OF human
kindness" has no suggestion of power
full stimulation.
But science has discovered, among
it's many wonders, that the patient
COW has put punch in milk that ne
cessitates the addition Of no product
of the still to make itself felt on tine
human system. 1t has discovered
new and harmless "bracer."

IMPORTANT MATTER OF LIsHT
Excellent Reasons Why 1t Should Al
ways Fall From the Left Side of
Writer or Worker. a

The well-known fact that, when
using the eyes for any near work, the
Illumination should come from the left
side rather than the right, is often dis
regarded.
Let anyone who considers the matter
of little Importance once demonstrate
to himself the difference and he will
never forget it. Take a pencil and pa
per and try to write while in such a
position that the light will fall from
the right side.
The shadow of the hand or pencil
or both is thrown on the paper in such
\ a way as partly to cover the characters
one is making. This necessitates a
closer viewpoint and conscious strain
bn the eyes. Now let the position Of the
writer be reversed so that the light

calling on regularly is in love with
him, he considers it justifiable to wait
until he is good and ready to propose.
1t is decided shock to such a lag
gard to see stranger step IN and IN
no time win the girl from before his
very eyes, He has only himself to
blame.
There are a few little things about
girls that men should remember. One
is that their interest is keenest in a
young man during the stage of their
earliest acquaintance. After girl has
summered and wintered man and
he has not proposed, her interest be-
gins to dwindle. She looks upon him
as friend, and begins to cast Sleeps
eyes on other men as possible beaux.
No man should be too sure of girls
love until he has placed q betrothal
ring on her finger. Even then. he
should see that the marriage is not
put off too long.
A pretty girl once had one of these
laggard lovers of whom she thought a
great deal. But pop the question he
would not. Her aunt advised her not
to waste time with him. At an after
noon affair, to which she had gone
with girl friends, she met new ad-
mirer, who escorted her home. They
encountered the old beau. His jeal-
Ousy was straightway aroused. The
sight Of her with another showed him
how dear she was to him. The ques-
tiOn faced him as to what life would
be without her If another won her.
He called that evening and lost no
time in asking her to be his wife, de-
claring that an open confession was
good for the soul. He had been too
sure of her and because of that came
near losing her.
The wise girl does not devote all of
her time to one caller. She treats him
as she finds him-simply as friend
until he has given her reason to be as
sured otherwise. There would be no
long-drawn-out courtships which end
in parting if girls pursued this plan.

Wise and Otherwise

1t makes any man nervous to have

He is poor sign painter who can

1t is easy for man to follow advice

A woman may know just what to

ASSOCIATION is SHORT FUNDS
AND WANTS LOCAL MEN TO
CONTRIBUTE MONEY.

The Northwest Livestock show
management at Lewiston wants Idaho
county to help finance the show, which
opened in Lewiston today and closes
November 15.l The show has only
$4,000 available, it is said, with which
to meet an estimated expense of $17 900
OF the $4,000 already raised, $4,000 was
contributed by the state of Idaho and
$4,000 was subscribed by residents of
Lewiston. The sum asked of Idaho
county was not specified.
Club Is Asked to Aid
S. A. Anderson, president of the
Grangeville Commercial club, at the
regular weekly luncheon of the club,
Wednesday noon, put the proposition
before the members, saying that, as pre-
sident of the club, he had been asked to
do everything possible toward provid-
ing financial aid for the stock show.
The matter was received by club mem
bers with little comment and no action
was taken thereon.
The shortage of funds with which to
carry on the livestock show is due, it is
said, to the exorbitant premiums which
have been offered for exhibits, md also
to the apathy which many persons in
Lewiston have displayed when asked to
contribute toward the show.
Stock Show Is Opened.
Reports from Lewiston tell of an
auspicious opening of the big show
despite the serious financial straits ir
which the association finds itself.
Governor Alexander of Idaho was
scheduled to arrive in Lewiston late
Wednesday. Accompanying him were
Attorney General Walter, Secretary OF
State Dougherty and State Treasurer

western states have promised to attend
the show.
