TO GET EGGS DURING WINTER
Comfortable Houses Must Be Provided
to Secure Most Profitable Re-
turns From Hens.

Times have changed since chickens
roasted out on the trees and fences.
Once in a while you may see such
farms where hens are permitted to
follow this old way of foraging. But
as rule every hen must pay a profit
or she goes to market and at an early
age too. Hens are measured by the
number of eggs they lay instead of by
the number of pounds they weigh. Elk.
pensiye houses are not necessary but
must be comfortable to insure proper
egg laying. A house should accom-
modate as many hens as space calls
for without crowding; about two
square feet of floor space per hen is
about right. This keeps up the tenn
perature in cold nights and still gives
scratching room to insure egg produc-
ton.

milk does not act against the disease
it at least gives the chicks greater

YictrOIa And Records Free to Some
School.

The ]. L. Roark Estate, county
distributors OF VIctrolas and records,
has offered Victrola and twenty Sc
lections IN records to the rural
school showing the highest percent
age in attendance this school year.
There are quite a number of schools
in the county using the Victrola,
and more teachers are planning to
do so. If any district buys ma
chine, and later it develops wins the
prize, the amount paid will be ie-
funded, up to the amount offered,
but schools which have heretofore
secured a machine will not be per
mitted to compete. Getting the pu-
pll to attend school is one of the
greatest needs of the day, and it is
thought this prize will make the
teachers even more active than they
have been along this line. No town
or village school are allowed to CON-
pete, the offer being confined to ru-
raj schools, and as the award is to
be made on a percentage basis, the
smallest district in the county has an
equal chance with the larger. The
announcement was made to the
teachers at institute recently, and
was received with enthusiasm.
