1t is not necessary to build expen-
sive poultry houses, but they should
be serviceable, fairly roomy, well
lighted, and well ventilated without
drafts.
Mites and lice frequently sap the
vitality of the fowl and prevent
growth or lessen the egg production.
thorough cleaning of the house,
regular. applications of disinfectants
to the roosts and nests, and frequent
busting of the fowls will control these
pests.
Every poultry raiser should make a
study of the market demands A uni

produce uniform eggs or meat, and

lock With Sun ParIor Annex.
In most communities there is a
great opportunity for marketing eggs
and poultry by parcel post. Often this
plan gives better satisfaction than the
usual method.
Chickens never wash, as many
other birds do, but cleanse themselves
Of insects by wallowing in soil For
this reason every poultry house
should be provided with dust box.
Gull out and prepare for market all
fowls, old or young, which appear
weak, slow or dull; fowls with droop-
ing tails, rough plumage or crow
shaped heads; all scrubs except those
which have laying points; all hens
which moult early; and all males ex-
cept those strong, vigorous, and of a
pure type desired for breeding.

1t was obvious that this was no hap

The colonel seemed suddenly to have
aged. His eyes lacked ulster. In con-

at his elbow, the proud bearing Of this
popular regimental commander was
not manifest.
Toxic, with an air Of understanding,
unObtrusively preceded them into the

Brent passed into the library. On
the wall hung a splendid painting of

But in them there was no pity. A
strange uneasiness ~permeated his

Pearl drew away from the wall, In

could hear no more Of them. Were Il
not for tho fact that the one In whom
she had pledged her faith in manhood
was being publicly disgraced for a

alone kept her from doing something
ridiculous.
A new thought flashed into her mind

hide his feelings.
In the hall stood Pearl wrlnglng her
hands. The hopelessness of 1t all was
written on her face. It was plain that
the colonel had told her everything.

Brent simulated sympathy.

me to the barracks after he drops you

And that ended 1t. She went.

But of all the browning outrages
perpetrated in the name of police
power Compulsory Vaccination is
the most fragrant and shameless;
for not satisfied with the invasion
of all other rights, this assaults
both the person and conscience,
thus desecrating the last right in its
last refuge.
II was a senile hobby of the Dec
laration OF Independence that the
Creator had endowed every human
being with certain natural. incontes-
table, inalienable rights antedating
all social organizations, infinitely
higher and more sacred than con-
stitutional compacts, rights that leg

and indefeasible, so impossible of
abrogation, devestment or transfer
that no human agency could dele

Do YOU know that the simple but

bears not the slightest pathological
relation to smallpox knocks the
stuffing out Of the whole alledged
scientific basis of vaccination. and
leaves 1t nothing to stand upon but
flimzy statistical jugglery? Do you
know that however the bacteria is
