COOKING MADE EASY.
BY Marie Groarain.

I never cooked but have had lot
Of eats, mostly in hall bedrooms, where
my chum cooked over the gastronomy.
She's Boise High school graduate
and knows the difference between the
carbohydrate and the coal rate. But
l have bought things at the delicates-
sen and several times after the store
closed my fellow took me to the cafe
terra. Cooking in cafeteria must be
sad and lonely with no mattresses
cussing about the orders. But 1t is
easy to take, both as to teids and
on-tents. Bedroom cookery is a dis
tinct art. Some wish it was extinct.
First you fasten' a tin pan over an
alcohol lamp. Then delicately break a
ham and egg into it. In a few minu-
ties 1t is ready to serve excepting what
splashed on your false hair. Other
lessons will follow.

Father Beaver found 1t out that very
minute. He was willing to work,
dear me, yes; anxious to begin right

And all the while the others were

do at party when they have eaten

No sooner said than done. Father
Beaver waited till he saw the others
we're busy laughing at one of Police
man Billy's jokes, and then he
slipped quietly away toward the
creek. Silently he crept under the
weeds at the waters edge, and would
you believe it? the first minute he
saw the water he had an idea, just
that suddenly!
He'd make a raft!
Now Father Beaver had never
heard of a raft any more than
Mother Beaver had ever heard of

A NATIONAL NECESSITY.

02HE patriotism and courage of Americans cannot be
doubted. Their ability to execute in harmony with
their spirit is matter of serious doubt. The per-
centage of citizens who take the field for national
defense small as to be ptifu and especially time
when the nation is about to participate in world of
indefinite duration and which may in time focus its de-
structive energies directly upon this country.
The answer is military training To this there is OBJ
lection the part of well meaning people who would not
apply the same rule of neglect to their personal affairs
They train the mind and they go to trouble to train
the body to meet ordinary requirements and combat dan
gers of doctrine and of disease but they bak military
training to combat foreign foe.
y q II
1t may news to some of these good folks that under
the present laws of the United States every American boy
when he reaches the of 49, becomes automatically sub
jec to military duty and remains subject to call until he
reaches the age of 40 He is under continuous liability
during that PERIOD and military training would not the
least decrease it.
The question is not Shall he go to if the country
shall call him? which is already legal requirement, but
Shall he go prepared unprepared?
There be doubt to the advantage that
the unframed He is in better position to care
for himself to defend himself-and the chances are
greatly in his favor of escape from the manifold ailments
and injuries wholly separate from actual fighting.
If dismiss the possibility of war; military training
is of advantage not only to the physical but to the
mental man. The mobilization of from all walks of
life into camps is bound to improve their health and
harden their muscles and render them immune to
disease and bodily waste but it is also true that would
tend to break down caste and further democraze the
country. AS authority puts it, sit will mis-
conceptions and prove to be the effective melting pot
for making real Americans and real men,
Congress will doubt be asked to provide effective
system of military training pressing national
stnot for duty in times of peace during strikes and
other domestic disturbances but for national defense
alone-a service purely for defensive warfare.
Every boy and man between Is and As can now be
called They will have to perform less service with
out military training They will be in better position to
perform service for their country and to do with the
least danger to themselves if they shall have training

Do You Keep Loafer Hcnsl

These are busy times in egg produc-
ton aud there should be no place in
the poultry yard for the idle hen
The business hen is never caught loaf,
ing She should lay at least during
favorable weather, Kill the summer
idler.
There are many ways of telling the
laying hen from the non-laying hen:
Overfat hens that droop behind are
poor producers.
Hens over years old having long
spurs are usually poor layers.
Grow heads, long beaks and weak
legs indicate lack OF constitutional
vigor and such birds are always poor
producers.
The singing hen with a bright red
comb will soon be laying.
Yellow-shanked hens tend TO lose
that pigment with increased egg yield,
In the fall selection, save the hen that
has faded shanks
A quiet and lazy bird having pale
colored comb is not a good layer,
The laying hen is usually the last
on the roost at night and the first off
in the morning, has full crop and is
a heavy eater. She is better pro-
ducer than the hen that spends the
major portion of her time on the
roost, or bumped up in the corner of
the pen. or basking in the sun all day.
Closely worn toe nails indicate ac-
tivity, They are commonly found on
the Woodworking, industrious hen and
indicate good production,
Hens that show the least broodiness
are better layers than persistent sit
tiers.
A wide back, full breast and broad
head, accompanied with stout, short
beak and legs set well apart, indicate
vigor and health. Good vigor and
good health are necessary to the lay
ing hen.

Crop-Bound.

The crop sometimes becomes over
loaded with feed and its thin muscu-
lar walls become distended and par
TALLY paralyzed, SO that the organ
cannot be emptied or the opening into
the lower esophagus may become
clogged with a feather, a straw or
some other substance which the bird
has swallowed. The crop is greatly
distended and the mass OF feed is
rather hard and firm. In both cases
the symptoms are the same and treat
ment should be conducted on the same
principles.
For treatment pour one-fourth to
one-half ounce of melted lard or sweet
oil down the throat and manipulate
the contents of the crop with the hand
in such way as to tend to break up
the mass. Unless the passage Is
closed the contents of the crop will
usually pass away within few hours.
For few days feed should be lin
tied in quantity. II the foregoing
method is unsuccessful and an opera
ton becomes necessary clip away the
feathers from a portion of the crop
and with very sharp knife, lancet
or razor make an incision about one
and half inches long through the
skin and the wall of the crop. Then
carefully remove the contents of the
crops with the finger. the handle of
spoon or some other convenient OBJ
ject and wash out the crop with warm
water. Pass the finger, well oiled, into
the esophagus to be sure there is no
obstruction. Sew up the wall of the
crop first and then the outer skin,
using white silk or linen thread, being
careful not to sew the two membranes
together, In few days the wound
will be healed. Feed sparingly on
whole grains until the wound heals
and do not give any water for twen-
ty-four hours.

Age for Profitable Egg Production.

Early hatohed puIlets are the most
profitable egg producers. II properly
grown they begin laying in October,
Yearlng hens seldom begin laying
much before the first of January and
older hens not until later It is the
November and December eggs that
bring the highest prices,

duction keep nothing but pullets, dis.

hculty in expelling an egg from the
body and produce the condition
known as egg-bound II the egg re-
mains in the oviduct for consider

decompositionao of the tissues and re-
suits in death.
Fowls when egg-bound are restless,
going frequently on the nest, showing
desire to lay aud, in general. Civ
ing evidence OF being in distress,
Later they become dull and listless,
remaining in this condition until
death, if not relieved. The egg can
usually be felt in the posterior por-
ton of the abdomen. II the trouble
is early discovered, inject small
quantity Of oil into the vent, and
gently try to work the egg out. II
this treatment is unsuccessful. hold
the lower part of the body in warm
water for half an hour, or until the
parts are relaxed; then treat as above.
1t may be necessary to break the

and remove the shell in pieces. After
renewal Of the egg give soft cooling
feed.
Occasionally difficulty in laying an
egg causes prolapsus or eversion OF
the oviduct. When this occurs the
oviduct is partially turned inside out
and protrudes from the vent. II the
egg causing the trouble has not been
expelled, remove it, wash the exposed
portion of the oviduct with warm
water, apply carbolated vaseline or

Droppings an Indication Of Health.

The condition Of the dropplngs fur-
nish a good indication of the hens
health. They should be sufficient
consistency to hold their shape, but
should not be too solid, In color
they should be dark, tapering off into
grayish white. If the droppings are
soft or pasty and OF a yellowish or
brownish color, it indicates too much
carbohydrates, or lack Of meat. IT,
on the other hand, the droppings are
watery and dark, with red splashes Of
mucus in them, It indicates too much
meat. A greenish, watery diarrhea
usually indicates unsanitary condi-
tions, either In the surroundings, the
feed or the water.
