interest for many month to come.
These are Notwithstanding affairs, in

Gaze FOR DROPPING BOARDS
Regular Attention Should Be Given and
Accumulation Avoided Clean
Once Every Week.

The dropping boards should have
regular attention. 1t will not do to let
the .droppings accumulate. In warm
weather they should be cleaned off
three times week, and at least once
"a week in cold weather. A short
handled hoe is fine for cleaning the
dropping boards. They can be scraped
off into tub or box in a very short
time, with no very great amount Of
work.

QUARTERS FOR THE PULLETs
Best to Keep Them Separated From

It is usually advisable to keep old

ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need Not
Put In So Much Time WASH
ing Dishes.

1.-THE careful housekeeper will al
ways resent the suggestion that once
day is often enough to wash dishes"
writes DIR. II. Barnard In liable Talk"
In the National Food Magazine. "She
cannot train herself to allow sOiled
plates and silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
Of shiftless, slovenly hOusekeep-
ing. AS a matter Of fact, along with
many other notions which are fixed in
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of the three daily dish-washing
jobs"
Doctor Barnard goes on to recite
the experience of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of ,dishwashing. One week she
washed dishes three times a day; the
next week she washed each days
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
81 minutes day to wash after each
meal and Al minutes a day to wash
them once a day.
This took account only Of time, but
there was considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice a
day, to say nothing of the saving In
soap.
