A laying hen needs about twice as
much feed us she would need II not
laying.
An ounce Of prevention Is worth
more than a pound Of cure when we
are dealing with the chickens.
A fiery red comb on busy hen
means the same as u sign In grocers
window which says Eggs for Sale"
Every hen can be made to pay. II
she will not do 1t in the production
Of eggs, kill her, and her carcass Will
bring good price when offered at
the store or the market.
Don't change breed because your
neighbor gets more eggs than you DO.
Give your birds the same kind OF
attention and accommodation that he
gives his. This will be cheaper and
more effective.
Many man who Is afraid to sleep
In an upper berth for fear he will
fall out, and wants his bed down close
to the floor for the same reason. will
still insist on keeping his chicken
roosts up In the air.
The newly purchased rooster OF
bunch of hens should not under any
circumstances be turned with thu
home flock for from one to two weeks
In that time you will be able to deter
mine whether or not they have an!
disease.
Numerous tests that have been mad
Mt our experiment stations have proves
that hens lay better, and their egg
keep better, when they are kept ava,
from the males. Why not kill tha
old rooster after you are through set

Why not let the boys and girls eac
raise brood or two Of chickens an
thus have their own spending money
There Is no little thing you can lie
them do that will help more to max

Everybody knows better than
crowd too many people in one room
They know 1t means sickness. BIZ
how many who know this fail to appl

steps for greater production is the
labor problem. The farms and
ranches of the country have been
drawn upon so heavily for labor in
recent years to maintain the manu-
factories, transportation and other
business enterprises Of the cities and
towns that few hands are available to
increase farming operations. This
will increase the need of improved
machinery, for such will be neces,
sary to supplement labor.
The war should encourage a wider
use of farm equipment. Whether
the war lasts some time or peace is
soon made there will be greater
demand for improved implements and
machines. If our productive enter
prises, including FARMS are to lose 9
large number of hands in addition tc
the few now available for farms, ex
tensive use of farm machinery will bt
a necessity.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts of with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it Is ap.
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get 1t at any whole
sale drug house for you.

BELTS OF WAMPUM
PRESENTED TO WILLIAM PENN
BY THE INDIANS.
Their Purpose Was to Cement Peace
Treaties Made With the Red Men
Two Of Them Are Now In
New York Museum.

The museum of the American In
dian. New York. has recently an
nounced through the New York Times
the addition to the collection Of wam-
pun belts of two which undoubtedly
belonged to William Penn. These two
belts and the one In the collection Of
the Historical Society Of Pennsylvania,
form a valuable addition to American
Indian lore. All three belts had found
their way to England as part Of the
Penn estate. The one owned by the
Historical Society Of Pennsylvania
was given to it by Granville John Penn
in 1857. He discovered evidence show
ing that 1t was given to William Penn
by the Indian chiefs who. in 1852, con-
| firmed the treaty of l.endship con-
cluded at Shackamaxon. The two that
have been acquired by the New York
museum are said to share the same
distinction, the catalogue description
being as follows for the larger one:

belt presented to William Penn by the
Indians. consisting of Is strings OF
wampum (25A by 5A inches), the

belts, which belonged to the Penn fam
lily. but one was presented by Gran
Vile John Penn, great grandson OF
William Penn. to the Historical So
ciety of Philadelphia.
''These belts formed an importan
part in negotiating or carrying on
transactions with the Indians. 'B.
these MEANS writes ClarksOn, the In
tlians pledged themselves to live II

belts probably refer to what is know
as the ELM Treaty."
Thus, while there appears to b
some doubt as to the exact purpOs
for which each belt was intended.
is not disputed that they were give
to Penn as evidence of the willingness

It may be that each belt was intend

Indians formally signed treaty b

Activity Aids Brain Work.

Rousseau has said that there was
something in the act Of walking which
animated and enlivened his ideas and
complained that he could scarcely
think when he remained still. He said
that his body had to be In motion in
order that his brain might be active.
Ibsen. we are told, paced the room
when he was writing his dramas. Com
posers have paced their rooms and
wandered about the parks and streets

THE GREAT DEMAND FOR WOODEN
SHIPS.

Submarines and mines have created
havoc with the ships Of all nations and
the whole world is calling upon American
shipyards for vessels to keep it's COM

been destroyed in such numbers that 1t
will require ten years Of feverish activity
to replace them. hence shipbuilding has
become q very remunerative industry on
the Pacific coast. 1t is now largely mo-
nopolized by men of means who were
quick to seize the opportunity. A COM
pany recently organized in Portland has
