it should be applied at least twice

or dry dirt on hand to use on the drop
ping boards after cleaning them.
How to Handle the Hens.
The production of eggs in winter is
materially influenced by the methods
of feeding, housing and handling the
poultry. To get the greatest egg pro-
duction in the early fall and winter, it
is essential to populate the house with
well-matured pullets which were
Matched in March or April. All the
grain should be fed in n deep litter on
the floor so that the hens must exer-
else to get their food. The mash may
be fed either wet or dry, and should
be so regulated that the fowls will re-
ceive about equal parts of mash and
scratch grains. 1t is necessary to give
the fowls plenty to eat, but the birds
should always be eager for each feed.
In cold weather feed about one-third
of the scratch grains in the morning
and thirds at night, in which way
the hens are forced to exercise more
than if they are given all the grain
they desire at the morning meal.
Scratch grain. mash or ground grains,
meat meal, green feed, grit and oyster
shells should be supplied to the flock.
Good Scratch Mixtures.
Good scratch mixtures may be made
of equal parts by weight of cracked
corn, wheat and oats, or of two parts
of cracked corn and one part each of
wheat and oats. If wheat is expensive
it may be left out of this latter mix
ture and the proportions of beef scrap
increased one-fOurth in the mash. In
addition, mash made of three parts
of cornmeal and one part each of
wheat bran, wheat middlings, and beef
scrap should be fed. Green feed. such
as cabbage. mangelwurzel beets. cut
alfalfa or sprouted oats, should be fed
during the winter to replace the green
feed which the fowls have been secur-
ing in the fields, and beef scrap, skim
milk, cut green bone. or some similar
feed, is necessary to replace the in
sects which the fowls are accustomed
to get on the range.

WATER AVAILABLE FOR HENS
Fowls Drink Freely, Especially When
Laying HeaviIy-Dish Should
Be Kept Clean.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A plentiful supply of clean, fresh
water must always be available to the
hens. The fowls drink freely, espe-
cIally when laying heavily, and should
not be stinted of such a necessary and
cheap material as water. The water
pan or dish should be kept clean. II
it is not washed out frequently n
green slime will gather on its inner
surface. This should not be allowed
to happen. 1t is well to keep the
water pan outside the house and in
the shade in the summer, but in the
winter, when the water may freeze,
1t is best that the pan be left in the
house, and 1t should be raised about
a foot above the floor SO that the hens
won't kick it full of litter when
scratching for their food.

Scott Manuscripts.

The manuscript of Quentin Dur
ward"-a romance quickened during
the war for many memories on the
very field of its adventures-has been
sold In London for f7O0. This recalls
the fact that the manuscript Of "The
Bride of Lammermoor." this year cele-
brating its centenary, reposed for
some time In the strong room of the
British Linen bank in Edinburgh be-
fore passing into the possession of
the Society of Writers to the Signet.

Mr.. Alexander Sholto Douglas. The
concluding chapters of the MS. are
In the hand of amanuenses-the first
Scott employed. The novel was, in
fact, written during the attacks of
cramp of the stomach, which brought
the author to deaths door; and 1t is
a remarkable fact that though Scott
remembered the story on which he
founded it. he forgot his own work.
and on its publication read it MS some
thing quite new to him.

n TORE than once on Sunday
MI evening David reminded
Az L himself that a woman Of
Miss BristoTs type would not give a
second glance TO an ordinary chauf-
feur.
It was necessary TO his peace Of
mind that he believes this. For
after driving Mr.. and Mrs. Leighton
to White Plains and Sesrsdale to
make several afternoon calls, he re-
ceived an order that took his breath
away.

he unused as he drove away. He
was certainly facing an uncomfort-
able situation.
1t was only 6 o'clock, yet dusk
was coming on In three-quarters
Of an hour il would be dark.
What good was the darkness in
New York? One could be seen as
clearly as in daylight if one stood
at the side o. ones car in front of
a brilliantly lighted hotel entrance.
What should he do"
He was not a drinking man.
Had he been. he might have taken
a glass of whiskey in the vain hope
Of steadying his nerves. But he
had a conviction that there was
a way out of every scrape, so there
must be one out of this.
The way upon which he decided
at last was to appear remiss in
his duties as the driver Of gen
tlemanS car. Therefore-after
sending in by the doorman at the
Astor the announcement that Mr..
Leighton's car was awaiting Miss
BristoI-hs returned to his seat
and remained there, his cap pulled
loW over his eyes, even when Miss
BRISTOL emerged. piloted by an
obsequioUs funky.
He looked straight ahead while
the attendant assisted the elderly
spinster to her seat and tucked
tho robe about her knees When
David heard the door OF the
Limousine shut he started his en-
CINE and. without a backward
glance. drove out to Fifth avenue.
So far SO Eoodl Miss BRISTOL
had not recognized him.
But the end was not yet As he
drove up 10 the Leightons' house
and glanced at the windows there
was nobody watching for the guest
II was his place to conduct her up
the steps and ring the bell for her.
It was too great a risk. He dare
rot attempt il. Acting on a swift
impulse. he spranE from his seat,
ran up ia steps OF the house and
rang the doorbcl.
Norah answered the summons.
Snc smiled broadly as she saw him.
VIII, hello Smith she greeted
him.
Her face changed as she noted
the stern expression on the coun-
tenance OF the man she admired.

That was why he had gripped

When Miss Bristol had disap-

Miss Leighton would doubtless have

he must now ring the bell again
and ask for his orders.
He wished he dared to drive

But that would be unwise.
