Oh, Joanie!
Do you know the quiet, thin sort
of man who doesn't say mucn, pue
lust looks? No@there aren't II OF
that kind in Bentsville. ~They all talk.
Of if they don't, it is because they
have nothing to say. And they don
even look-except al their hands and
feet which seem to be in the way and
give them trouble .
The man l am about to tell you OF
looks. But not at his hands and feet.
At me. 1t is disconcerting. Yet mar
velously %endearing.
You will frown because he is the
man l met on the train coming Town
here. You will say, ut is not the

man feels he can take liberties If you
are willing to forego formalities. . -

comfortable quarters need only about
IN to 3 square feet of floor space
apiece. 1t is important to have all the
roosts in the winter house on the
same level. Otherwise the birds will
crowd to the highest positions to the
extent that the weaker ones may be
seriously injured. as the stronger birds
are sure to gain possession of the
desirable perches.
1t Is also essential, Just before the
pullets are quartered in their new To-
cation, to clean out and disinfect the
buildings thoroughly and to provide
plenty Of clean, dry litter. The house
should be scrutinized carefully as to
need for repairs. Be sure that the

GET HENS INTO WINTER QUAR-
TIERS EARLY.

Pullet love of horoc and contentment
with simple surroundings, no matter
how humble, make it advisable to
transfer the prospective layers from
the range to the winter quarters early
enough in the fall that they will be
thoroughly accustomed to their new
quarters before they begin to lay.
Many practical poultrymen neglect
this precaution and maintain their
birds under range conditions almost
up to the beginning of cold weather,
with the consequence that egg laying
is retarded and often jeopardized.
Timeliness-and timeliness means to
d. to-day the Jobs Of to-day--is highly
essential in the fail moving of the
flock. The owner of exhibition fowls
would never neglect to feed and con-
dltion his birds for the exhibition cir
cult. 1t Is just as essential that the
egg producing squads be properly
quartered for the winter season as
early as possible consistent with the
most progressive poultry management
This means to accustom the pullets to
their cold weather home before they
legin to lay.
When the pullets are moved to the
winter quarters at the right time they
soon become reconciled to their new
surroundings and begin to lay without
any interruption. On the other hand,
II they are kept out on the range until
they attain maturity, when they are
finally moved to their cold weather
houses their laying ability is so seri-
ously checked that the birds do not
produce any eggs for several weeks,
and in some instances do not lay again
for sopc months.

THE wEsTcHEsTER FLORALIA

A F'loralia is an outdoor flower show.
It originated in ancient Rome, where
each year fete day was held In the
name of Flora, goddess OF flowers,
where fruits and flowers were exhib-
tied and dancing and merrymaking
were INDUCED in.
The Westminster Floralia will be
patterned after the ancient Roman
fete day. 1t will be held in the beau
| tiful Bronx River Parkway grounds
adjacent to the Hartsdale Station, and
will take the form of an all day fete
with many entertaining features Sat-
urday,, September 90.
There will be exhibits Of flowers,
fruits, potted plants and vegetables,
for which awards in the form Of cups,
ribbons. &C.. will be offered. There are
four CLASSES OF competitors-children
| under 15 years Of age; amateurs who
care for their own plants; owners OF
private estates, and professional flor
lists and nurserymen. Prizes will be
| offered In each class.
There will be an exhibit of garden
sculpture, under the auspices Of Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney, James Fraser
and Frederick MacMonnies. Prizes for
excellence Of design and execution
have been donated by Mrs, Harry
Payne Whitney and Mrs Charles Cary
Rumsey. The Gorham company will
cast in bronze that piece OF scripture
exhibited at the Westchester I,oralia
and selected by the jury for tint pur-
pose. This jury will be composed Of
all of the exhibitors in sculpture, and
their selection will be made by ballot.
This is said to be the first time that
garden sculpture has ever been exhib-
tied in America in an outdoor garden.
Already between twenty and thirty
entries have been made. The pieces,
none OF which are to be under three
feet in height, will be arranged
around the pool in the sunken garden
in the Bronx River Parkway grounds.
Another very interesting feature OF
this sculpture exhibit is that for the
first time a number of pieces of sculp-
ture from Charles NJ. Schwab's estate
at Loretto. Penna., will be exhibited
to the public.
Nurserymen are setting out ever
green trees in the grounds this week
as their entries in this class, and after
the Floralia these evergreens will be
offered to the Bronx River Park Com
