YOUR BIRD AND ITS CAGE
Attractive Homes for the Songsters
and Other Feathered Pets-New-
est Squirrel Cages.

The glittering cages and cage COM
forts that are provided for pet birds
today seem to quite reconcile little
songsters to captivity.
The prettiest of the new-style cages
for small birds is an affair of brass
with a broad band of brass wire net
ting around the lower portion. These
are supplied with dainty drinking
cups and platters and bath tubs, in
which the bird may take his morning
plunge. Canaries are satisfied with
one swinging and one stationary
perch, but mocking birds require five
or six perches and quite large cage.
Stands for parrots vary in elabor-
Gteness from q plain zinc tray with
its complement Of cups and perches,
to a gorgeous tray Of brass or laquered
ware, standing midway on a brass
sod, that is topped by brass perches
Ind richly ornamented drinking cups.

tutes a proper vertilating system. Veis
tilati0n is not a hard problem if you
do not take into consideration the fact
that you want to conserve the animal
heat, as it is the heat from the ami
mails which is going to keep the barn
warm.
A proper ventilating system will cir
culate the air through the building rap
idly enough to keep the air approx
mately pure, and still conserve the
animal heat in the stock room. If the
ventilating system is to do the work
it must be planned according to the
building, to the height of the ceiling,
number of head of stock, size of the
windows and doors and other openings.
Each barn presents a ventilating prob
lem of it's own.
The only kind of barn which needs
a ventilating system is a tight barn.
If the barn is not built tight there
| is no necessity for ventilating sys-
TEN, because all that a ventilating sys-
| TEN can do is to supply fresh air to
| the animals at all times, take the foul
air out of the barn, and do this with
out destroying the purpose of the barn,
which was to keep the animals warm.

Constant Attention.

Every girl knows enough about
household duties to realize that clean
liness and order and beauty in a home
depend on constantly putting things
to rights. Try to realize, too, that or
der and beauty in your thoughts de-
mand constant attention. If it is nee
essary to make your bed every morn
ing and dust the parlor daily, it is
quite as essential to put the heart in
order not once a week, but every day

Hats Off for Hair,

Keep your hat off as much as pos
sible. Hair cannot lie too easily or
loosely for it's own health, and that of
the nerves and head. Anything like
pressure, heat or strain about the head
will injure the brain and the finest
parts of the nervous system. Pulling
the hair up too tightly from the back
Of the head and ears will cadse the
glands of the neck to swell. Notice
what relief it is to take all your hair
pins out Of the hair and let it hang
loose for few hours.
If you adopt an easy. artistic and
natural hair dressing, nervousness will
disappear and headaches will be un-
known. It is not only beneficial to
the growth Of the hair, but to the
nerves of the head to wear it tied with
ribbon at the nape Of the neck, free
of hairpins, whenever possible.

can build them up from plank, spiked
and bolted together, with the joints
broken.
In modern plank frame COW barn
the joists are of 2 by S's, run cross
wise, and rest on built-up timbers or
girders which are supported by iron
columns in the row of stanchions, en-
tirely out of the way.
Good Siding Desirable.
1t will pay you to get good grade
of siding. You will get better barn.
It can be made to look better and can
be kept looking better, for of course
you will want to paint it.
Have plenty Of windows. The rule
is square feet, for each cow or
horse. Windows on the end will admit
more light than when on the side.
When there are two rows of cows
it is an advantage to have them face
in toward the center of the barh but
there are good reasons also for hav-
ing them face out. The barn can be
cleaned out and kept clean easier with
the latter arrangement.
Now that silo: You may not be
ready to build, but you can at least
plan so that when you do build you
will not make extra work getting
ready. Also make some provisions for
plan for the future and make every
step count toward the final result.
Take, for instance, the 60-foot gam.
brel roof barn illustrated in the ac-
companying design. 1t is a commodi-
Gus combination barn. 1t provides ac.
commodations for 20 dairy cows and
B horses. The large central feeding al
ley is feature that will be appre-
J ciated by many.

ventilated. The size is sufficient to

VentiIating System Important.
One of the best investments the
dairy farmer can make is a ventilatine
system for his barn.
Almost every dairyman is satisfied

think OF the suffering of the poor peo-
pie who can't or won't eat them. One
good Englishman said: "we would
better be without noses than without
onions" Many dishes are simply
characterless without the piquant fla
vor Of the onion or touch of garlic.
For an all-around. good vegetable
the onion stands high, being stimulat-
ing, antiseptic. and prophylactic. For
the weak and feeble the onion will
give new strength. Our grandmothers
knew the value of onions when used
as a poultice or in n cough syrup.
The antiseptic effect is found in the
action of the onion in the large intes-
tine where imperfectly digested food
may be causing self-poisoning. The
onion disinfects the whole system,
cleanses and heals. Robert Louis
Stevenson calls "the onion the poetic
soul of the salad bowl" Truly few
salads can do without the zestful vege-
table.

the storeroom. One of these pieces of
wall paper is of wonderful blue, the
took a carton, cut and fitted the blue
paper to it and pasted it on. Then
there was another end of wall paper
left over from the dining room frieze.
1t was a French paper showing a riot
of gaily colored birds in a jungle of
leaves and flowers. From this paper
a rich blue parakeet, balancing on a
red stem, was cut and pasted on the
darker blue background, taking care
to paste it over the seam where the
paper on the carton is joined together.
'Then the edges, top and bottom,
were bound with furniture guimpe
which matches the blue paper. For
handles took two large rings such as
are used for curtain pulls, covered
them with buttonhole stitching in
black and hung them on either side of
the carton, forming little drop handles.
The bottom and inside Of the carton
were dyed a deep red, harmonizing
with the touches of red in the para
keet. Other cartons were covered with
light yellow paper and mounted with
| brown and yellow birds with guimpe
to match and black handles.

stand resembles one belonging to a
piano lamp, and the same stands, with
carved tops and hooks, are made to
hang small bird cages from. Some
cages have glass sides about the outer
tray to keep water from splashing on
the floor, and all are supplied with
slumber robes, fashioned Of bobinet,
lace, embroidered velvet or fancy silk.
Little travelling cages are fitted up
with a flap lid,.
The newest squirrel cages are fitted
up with turning wheels, perches,
drinking vessels, slumber robes and
even a bed, shaped like an overgrown
tin mushroom, with a hole in the top
and perforations in the bottom. In
this the squirrel curls up and tries to

Socrates Was Rioht.

When the Athenians we're putting
Socrates to death because of his dis
concert1ng habit Of telling the Athe-
man democracy wholesome but un-
pleasant truths about itself, Socrates
told his fellow-citizens that if they
were wise they would maintain him
at public expense to do the very thing
for which they were condemning him
to die. He was right, as the Athenians
found out later to their cost. Socrates
was followed by glib and plausible ad-
visers who wrecked the empire. Too
late the Athenians understood that a
fearless, truth-telling public servant
is SO rare and so valuable that, once
found, he ought to be given the fullest
protection instead Of the fiercest per-
secution.

Mastery to Love Thy Neiohbor

1t is no mastery to watch and fast
till thy head ache; nor to run to Rome
or Jerusalem on pilgrimage upon thy
bare feet; nor to stir about and preach,
as if thou wouldst turn all men by thy
preaching. Nor is it any mastery to
build churches or chapels, or to feed
poor men and build hospitals. But it
is a mastery for a man to love his
neighbor in charity, and wisely hate
his sin and love the man.-Walter
Hilton (1396).

It is momentous that we should
pause from time to time tO regard
our ideals. They exercise their inf1u-

like the object of our desire perhaps
before we have distinctly realized it's
true nature; and so we may find our
selves, like some of the souls at the
close of Plato's republic, involved in
unexpected calamities through heed
less choice. At the same time, the
effort to give distinctness to our
ideals brings with it a purifying pow
