 It was always dark enough in the little back office in winter for the hard ware dealer to have lamp burning So he did not notice the snow furry that had taken Sunrise Cove in it's arms until he ehanced to walk out to the front of the store tor needed exercise.

 Suddenly he bethought him of the errand that had taken the boy away from the store.
 Hey, Staggn' shouted shopkeeper from over the way, who had likewise come to the door, did you hear that?'
 Hear what?" asked Joseph Stagg, puzzled
 'There she goes again. That's ice, old man. She's breaking up. We'll have spring with us In no time now"
 The reverberating crash that had startled Chet Gormley had startled Jo, seph Stagg as well.

 Just at this moment an unexpected voice broke into the discussion.
 Are you positive they went out on the cove to slide, Mrs Gormley?s
 "Oh. yes, l be, Mandy" answered the seamstress. "Chet said he was goin' there. and what Chet says he'll do. he always does
 Then the ice has broken away and they have been carried out into the lake" groaned Mir. Stagg.
 Mandy Parlow came quickly to the little hall.
 "Perhaps not. Joseph" she said, speaking directly to the hardware deal CT. It may be the storm. It SHOWS so fast they would easily get turned around-be unable to Ind the shore."
 Another reverherating crash echoed from the cove. Mrs. Gormley wrung her hands.

CLEAN WATER IS DESIRABLE
Sanitary Way of furnishing Necessary Supply.

Plenty of pure, fresh water should be supplied daily. An automatic drink ing fountain is the most sanitary way of supplying water. In cold weather, when the water may freeze quickly, the difficulty may be overcome by heat ing the water The fountain being air tight, except the space from which the hens get the supply, the water remains warm sufficiently long for them to get all they wish. The can. however, should be emptied every day, to keep 1t from being injured by frost.

breeders of the very best type, and so reducing to the lowest practical point the waste of feeding inferior young stock.
 Professional breeders were com pelled to do this, because no other plan of economizing comparable to it in efficiency was open to them. Good feed in abundance had to be used whatever the cost, or their birds would not attain full development and com mand profitable prices.
 For the professional breeder this ex- act adaptation of the stock to the end for which it is designed is Il necessity In the matter of producing eggs and meat there is not the same absolute necessity. The volume of production can be maintained, and even greatly increased by the continuance and ex- tension of those better practices which have made possible so much of the increase which has already been attained. But if the producers of eggs and poultry for the table are to do their utmost to increase the supplies of those products, the easi- est, the shortest and the surest way is through general use of the most productive types; that is, by the use on the part of every poultry keep CT of the most productive types in his stock. It is not meant that there should be wholesale replacement of or dinaYy stocks by stock of strains cele- brated for extreme high production.
