The usual method is to feed the table
scraps at noon or at night, or at both
times, as may be desired, in trough
or on a board All should be fed that
the hens will eat up clean, and if any
of the material is left after one-half or
three-quarters of an hour it should be
removed. If allowed to lie it may spoil
and would be very bad for the hens.
With the table scraps it is well to
feed some grain. Perhaps this may be
given best as light feed In the morn
ing. Four or five handfuls of grain
(about one-half pint) scattered in the
litter will be sufficient for a flock of
twenty or twenty-five hens. By hand
full is meant as much as can be grasped
in the hand, not what can be scooped
up in the open hand. BY scattering 1t
in the litter the hens will be compelled
to scratch in order to find the grain
and in this way to take exercise, which
is decidedly beneficial to them. If the
house is too small to feed in, the grain
can be scattered on the ground outside.
A good grain mixture for this purpose
Is composed of equal parts by weight
of wheat. cracked corn and oats. An
other suitable grain mixture Is COM
posed of two parts by weight of
cracked corn and one part oats.

Movies Showing Methods
of Increasing Country's Pork
SuppIy-Boys' Pig Clubs

AS a means of helping to increase
the pork supply, the United States de-
partment of agriculture has released
to the motion picture theaters, through
one of the large motion picture COM
panies, film showing the work of the
boys pig clubs which the department
is organizing in all parts of the country
in cooperation with the extension
divisions of the state agricultural col
legeS. The film shows methods OF In
structing farm boys, and in some in
stances girls, who have Joined the agri-
cultural clubs, how to raise better pigs
and the methods used by club members
in carrying out instructions. The first
lesson taught in the film story is that 1t
costs no more to feed and care for the
pig of carefully selected stock than the
scrub, while the results in meat pro-
duced is greatly in favor of the we'll
bred animal. The picture shows fur
ther how to feed and care for the pigs,
how to protect them from disease, and
how to shelter them from the inclem-
mer. The results of wise selection and
intelligent care are shown in the we'll
groomed, fat, healthy porkers wearing
the prize ribbons they have won.
The first pig club was organized in
Louisiana in 1910. Now approximately
$4,000 members are enrolled in the
pig clubs throughout the country.

EARNING TO FORGET BEAUTY
Difficult Lesson for Woman, Asserts
English Writer, in Describing the
Aged Queen Alexandra.

"There is no more difficult lesson for
q woman to learn than that of learning
how to forget that she has been beauti-
full" writes a clever English woman.
"One afternoon I saw Queen Alex
andra driving slowly in her open motor
through the gates at Hyde Park cor
ner. For the first time 1t occurred to
me that this rarely lovely queen is now
an old woman nearing four-score years
of age. Perhaps she had forgotten to
be alert, as is her usual custom, or per-
haps the heat of the day had fatigued
her. But at any rate there was
touch Of tragedy in the thought that
Queen Alexandra is learning slowly,
but surely, that extreme beauty can
ality can challenge the attack of time.
81 fancy it must have been the queen
mothers costume that brought this
idea most surely before me. She was
wearing a mantle or cloak made OF
some material in shade of iridescent
blue spangles with a close frilling OF
black lace all round the edge. Her hat
or bonnet was of the usual royal shape
and built of jetted stuff to match her
cloak, with a small white aigrette
standing erect in front.
"Under ordinary circumstances one
would regard this quaint nineteenth
century toilet of the queen mothers as
a characteristic conventionality, but
somehow on this sunny afternoon it
represented to me a sacrifice to the in
evitable."

as Baynes turned his eyes upon him at
the remark.
"He thinks lot of the girl" contin-
ued Hanson, "and don't want nobody
to marry her and take her away. But
it looks to me as though he was doin'
her more harm than good in sendin'
you away. She ought to marry some
time, and she couldn't do better than
a fine young gentleman like you
Baynes who had at first felt inclined
to take offense at the mention of his
private affairs by this common fellow.
was Modified by Hanson's final remark
and Immediately commenced to see in
him a man of discrimination.
Hes q darned bounder," grumbled
the Hon. Morrison, 'but I'll get even
with him. He may be the whole thing
in central Africa, but Pm as big as he
is in London, and he'll find it out when
he comes home"
eff I was you," said Hanson, Il
wouldn't let any man keep me from
gettin' the girl I want. Between you
and me I amt got no use for him Ell
ther, and if I can help you any, why,
just call on me-"
''It's mighty good Of you, Hanson"
replied Baynes, warming up bit, 'but
what can fellow do here in this God
forsaken hole?"
"I know what I'd do," said Hanson.
"Td take the girl along with me. If
she loves you she'll go all right"
''It can't be DONE" said Baynes. HE
bosses this whole blooming country for
miles around. He'd be sure to catch
u.s."
"No, he wouldn't; not with me run
ming things" said Hanson. 1--WE been
trading and hunting here for ten years,
and l know as much about the country
as he does. If you want to take the
girl along I'll help you, and I'll guar
antee that there won't nobody catch
up with us before we reach the coast.
"Ill tell you what-you write her a
note and I'll get it to her by my head
man. Ask her to meet you to say
goodby. She won't refuse that. In the
meantime we can be movin' camp
little farther north all the time, and
you can make arrangements with her
to be all ready on certain night. Tell
her I'll meet her then, while you wait
for US in camp. That'H be better, for
I know the country we'll and can cover
it quicker than you. You can take
charge of the safari and be movin'
along slow toward the north, and the
girl and I'll catch up to you"
The balance of the long ride to Han
sons northerly camp was made in 81
lence, for both men were occupied with
their own thoughts, most of which
were far from being either compli-
mentary or loyal to the other.

Spring dresses for little girls are
abundantly displayed just now and all
women appear to enjoy looking at
them. Surely she who has no interest
In any little one is missing something
that belongs to her; for these little
dresses bring a smile and lingering
look to all eyes.
Cottons as fine and smooth as those
woven in French looms, and enticing
colors, gay and soft, make the sections
of stores where the dresses are shown
as bright as spring gardens. These
fine cottons are the product of Amerf-
can looms and these lovely colors show
how great an advance has been made
In the manufacture of American dyes.
The dress at the left is so adequate
ly pictured that it hardly needs de-
scription. 1t is shown in several pat
terms of fine gingham and is made with
pockets cut on the diagonal narrow
bias banding and collar of plain
chambray of the same color as the
dark bar in the gingham. The little
dress at the right is of Peter Pan cot
ton, much like a smooth chambray but
softer. 1t is shown in light yellow, me-
dunn shade of blue and two or three
pink tones. There is shocked panel
between plaits at the front and back
and collar and cuffs of white cotton,
with buttonholed scallops on the edges.

hated to.
"What is it, Hanson?" asked Bwana.
"You were about to say something,
weren't your
"Well, you see, it's like this" ven
tured Hanson. "Bein' around here
evenings a good deal I've seen them
two together a lot, and, begin your
pardon, sir, but I don't think Mr..
Baynes means the girl any good. I've
overheard enough to make me think
he's tryin' to get her to run off with
him."
Hanson, to fit his own ends, hit near
er the truth than he knew. He was
afraid that Baynes would interfere
with his own plans, and he had hit
upon scheme both to utilize the young
Englishman and get rid of him at the
same time.
"And I thought" continued the trad
er 'that, inasmuch as I'm about due
to move, you might like to suggeC to
Mr.. Baynes that he go with me. I'd
be willin' to take him north to the car
avan trails as favor to you, sir"
Bwana stood in deep thought for q
moment. Presently he looked up.
"Of course, Hanson, Mr.. Baynes is
my guest" he said, a grim twinkle in
his eye. Really cannot accuse him
of planning to run away with Meriem
on the evidence that we have, and as
shesis my guest 1 should hate to be so
discourteous as to ask him to leave.
But if I recall his words correctly it
seems to me that he has spoken of re-
turning home, and am sure that moth
ing would delight him more than going
north with you. You say you start to-
morrow? I think Mr.. Baynes will ac-
company you.
"Drop over in the morning, if you
please, and now good night, and thank
you for keeping watchful eye on
Meriem."
Hanson hid grin as he turned and
sought his saddle. Bwana stepped

FEEDING FOWLS FOR
MEAT AND EGGS

In feeding the flock an effort should
be made to do so as cheaply as pos
sible, consistent with the production OF
eggs. To accomplish this all table
scraps, kitchen waste, etc, should be
utilized. Scraps of meat or leftover
vegetables which cannot be utilized IN
any other way make excellent feed.
There are also many other waste prod
uCts, such as beet tops, turnip tops,
carrot tops, potato parings. onion tops,
the outside leaves of cabbageS, waste
lettuce leaves. bread and cake crumbs,
ETC., all of which are relished by the
hens, and can be used to the best ad-
vantage. In saving the scraps and
waste it is well to separate the por-
tions adapted for feeding to the flock
and place these in a receptacle or pail
of their own. DecOmposed waste ma
terial or moldy bread or cake should
never be saved to feed to the hens. as
it is harmful to them and may cause
serious bowel trouble. Sloppy mate
rial, such as dishwater, should not be
thrown into their pail. 1t is also use
less to put in such things as banana
peels or the skins of oranges, as these
have little or no food value. Any sour
milk which is not utilized in the house
should be given to the chickens. This
should be fed separately, however,
either by allowing the hens to drink
it or by allowing it to clabber on the
back of the stove and then feeding it
In that condition. When the family's
table waste is not sufficient for feed
ing the flock, it is usually possible to
get some of the neighbors who keep
no hens to save material suitable for
feeding Many people are glad to do
this if a small pail in which to place
the waste is furnished.
Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat
grinder After the material has been
put through the grinder it is usually
a rather moist mass, and it is well to
mix with it some cornmeal, bran or
other ground grain until the whole
mass assumes q crumbly condition.

Ignite Goals May Provide
Many important Supplies

Secretary Lane has recommended to
congress an appropriation of 100000
to investigate the commercial and eco
nomic practicability of utilizing the
Ignite Goals of the United States for
producing fuel oil, gasoline substitutes,
ammonia, coal tar and gas for power.
There are immense quantities of Ignite
deposits in the public lands of the
United States lying near the surface of
the earth and cheaply mined, but the
coal is of such character that it does
not stand transportation in it's natural
state and is of small value for fuel ex-
cept in the immediate vicinity of the
mines. If a satisfactory method of ex-
tracing fuel oil and other substances
is secured it would be of enormous
value and add immensely to the re-
SOURCES of the United States. 1t is pro-

Timber Sales on National
Forests Doubled in Year

Sales of national forest timber in

double those of 1916, according to the
annual report of the government for
ester. The total amount sold exceed
ed 2,O0O,000,000 feet and is valued at
more than $3,715,00O During the
same period about 727,OOO,OOO feet
were cut and removed, for which the
purchasers paid S1,507,3O3 into the
federal treasury. The largest sales
were made in Oregon, where about
6SS, 100000 board feet were disposed

compared with the western forests,
showed q decided increase. More than
three times as much timber was sold
