, account Of single incident that &C
CURED in May. 1914. just before thu

"'Yes, bullet hole he said. In
China it stood on my desk, and one
day during the riots bullet came
through the window and went right

Several Of the guests pressed up to
see; such bowl with its Jagged bullet

subject for conversation; the German

Physician Discovered q Few Things
Wrong With Man Who Had es.

There was recently an article in the
American Magazine in which q writer
told how to live and linger longer. In
one part Of It, the author told of man
who thought he was o. K. until he was
examined by q doctor. This IL what
the man said:
"'My arteries had thlckened. (The
letter had stated that, but it meant
nothing to me.) That is. their cover
ing had grown thicker and less elastic.
In a healthy man they wouldn't have
begun to do this until forty years or
more. II they kept on at the rate they
were going they would be stiff before
many years. "Pipestem" arteries he
called them. That meant disturbance
in the circulation that had already BE-
gun and had already threatened my
heart. More than that, these defects
In circulation had thrown q heavier
burden upon my kidneys. Constipa-
ton and its results, that is, the reten-
ton Of poisons in the body, had put
another load on the overburdened kid
neys, until the excretions from them
showed plainly that they couldn't carry
that load and work we'll. And then,
to cap the whole thing, I had tooth
that was suspicious. It had all the
earmarks Of one with an abscess at the
root. It would take an X-ray to make
certain, but IL there was one there It
meant that pus from that was drain
ing through my body and adding to IT'D
burden"

The days on the volga are a. alike
as the white towns strung on the Volga
chain, and all laden with a sense Of
life. sluggish and primal and pOten-
tial. The scent Of pines of nsw-mown
hay, Of drying nets, and the fragrance
Of lilies; brawny redshirted sailors
shouting and splashlng each other with
water az they scrub the decks; the
whistling Of grain steamers; the sound
Of hammers from barges building along

We drop into the wharf where fisher
men are unloading their shining catch.
It is robust river life. not familiar,
but transposed into strange keys and

The RATS seemed the most essen

had seen them before. Gargantuan
yellow logs, as delicious looking as

and bound together with saplings, each
raft bearing 3 tiny hut for the FAM
flies who make the Journey with the
yafts to the sea. Now we met them
on the river; peopled with rollicking
figures, who balanced themselves with
long poles and laughed and shouted
unintelligible cries to US as the surge
Of the steamer threatened their foot

The crackers, borilaki, we never say:
debased men Of berculean strength,

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWLS
Most Essential That Hens Be Protect.
ed From Indictment Weather.
and Their Enemies.

One of the most essential things In
poultry keeping, is to have suitable
house which will protect the fowls
from inclement weather and from
their natural enemies. 1t is well un-
derstood that no two farms will pre-
sent exactly the same conditions for
instance, one farmer will desire to
keep one hundred hens while another
may want many more or less Then
again, some farms will present one
kind Of soil, whereas on other farms
the character. Of the soil and drainage
are entirely different. Some farmers
will desire house which presents an
attractive appearance, whereas on
other farms poultry houses will be SO
located that they are not conspicuous,
and hence the matter Of appearance is
Of little concern.
It must be remembered that from
the standpoint of the hen, appearance
makes very little difference, but the
house must be SO built and so ar
ranged that 1t will be comfortable
place for the hens to live; otherwise
they will not thrive and production
will not be satisfactory. On many
farms the hens are not provided with
house constructed especially for
them but are housed in an old building
originally made for some other pur-
pose.

FATTEN POULTRY IN CRATES
Sending Chickens to Market Not Prop.
f, eriy Fattened, Is Wasteful Prae-
tlce Of Farmers.

Sending chickens to market which
have not been properly fattened is a
wasteful practice. The weight Of
healthy, well grown chickens can be
increased from 25 to so per cent in
two weeks by proper feeding. Three
hundred and fifty to four hundred
pounds of mash moistened with skim
milk or butter milk and properly fed
to good fowls will produce 100 pounds
of poultry meat in from IL to IA days.
Proper feeding Of the chickens be-
fore marketing improves the quality
of the flesh. "Crate fed" and milk
fed" are synonymous with "high quar-
ity."
Chickens which have been milk fed
in crates should sell for from 2 to
cents above the market price for I'M
fattened chickens. At this price, they
are cheaper to the consumer on ac-
count of the reduced waste In dress
ing.

Russian Floors.

The finest floors are said to be seen
In Russian houses. For those Of the
highest grade, tropical woods are ex-
clusively employed. Fir and pine are
never used, as in consequence of their
sticky character they attract and re-
tain dust and dirt, and thereby soon
become blackened. Pitch pine, too, is
likely to shrink, even after being well
seasoned. The mosaic wood floors In
Russia are often of extraordinary
beauty.

Both hens and chicks worn out with
the constant irritation Of the skin
caused by the parasites, and the loss
OF blood by actual sucking from the
tissues lose vitality and are more apt
to succumb to diseases which would
