On the matter Of housing. the
I prospective poultry keepers held
widely divergent views. Mr.. Black
hired a carpenter at IS a day to erect
for him a good-looking. nicely fin
ished poultry house. When the last
coat Of PANT vas on It truly was as
his high school son declared It TO be,
"a work Of art"
7 A house so perfectly finished de-
handed the best OF equipment and
AIr. Black bought it The number Of
things which he discovered, with the
aid OF a salesman. that a properly
brought up flock OF chickens should
have was amazing TO his family and
depicting to his purse
Mr.. Smith, on the other hand, de-
cided that he could build his own
poultry house with the aid OF his son
de procured two piano boxes and
some smaller packing cases and they
set 10 work. Both were handy with
tools and in short time the piano
boxes had been converted into a
comfortable, sanitary domicile for the
chickens
The piano box house had been To-
Gated in a corner OF the yard where
the fence which was already there
would serve for two sides OF the yard.
A few posts and some chicken net
ting completed the inclosure. Quick
growing vines were planted and soon
screened the yard and poultry house
from view and the little shed served
its purpose we'll All the equipment
for the yard was made also from the
useful packing box.
Both flocks we're given good care
and the Black and Smith families en-
joyed the strictly fresh poultry prod
ucts. At the end OF the year, how
ever, NJ. Black declared that only a
rich man could afford TO keep .poul-
try IN the city. He was discussing
course. strictly fresh eggs taste bet
ter than any you can buy. but
heavens, man. their costl All we had
cost me about 81 a dozen, not to men
ton my work in caring for the flock.
no, sir. no more back yard poultry
keeping for me I cans afford it"
Then 1Ir. Smith spoke up: Your
troubles is that OF many others who

too much on the house and equip
ment- Nests made out of orange
boxes or coops made out Of barrels
may not look as elegant as those you
can buy but they serve their purpose
and cost almost nothing Ny accounts
show that the eggs my flock pro-
duced cost US much less than we
could have bought them on the mar
ket, for aside from the flock itself.
you see had little capital invested
in the project"

Mr. Black but do like everything
around my place to be well built"

until have larger income I fear I
can't have everything / want When
built that shack over there for my
chickens" he continued, Il didn't
have any guide to go BY, but the
other day 1 picked up a United
States department Of agriculture
farmers' bulletin that tells all about
backyard poultry keeping. and It
gives instructions about making Just
such a house as I made I see they

HOW TO CARE FOR HEN
THAT HAS RECOTTE RI


When hens become broody. they
should be broken up" as quickly as
possible. for the sooner this is dore
the sooner they will resume laying
To break a hen OF broodiness she
should be confined to a small coop
raised off the ground, preferably
with a Stat bottom Give her plenty
Of water to drink. she may be fed or
not, as desired Not much difference
will be found in the time required to
break her Of broodiness, whether she
is fed or made to fast. United States
department OF agriculture poultry
specialists say. Usually from 3 TO s
days confinement will break her. but
some hens require 10 to u days.
The broody hen will be recognized
by her inclina ton TO stay on the nest
at night the ruffling OF her feathers
and her picking at any one who ap-
proaches her, and by the cluclling
noise she makes. The fact that her
broodiness has been broken up can
be recognized by the disappearance
of these symptoms

Bamboo Declared Good

London. Eng. July 5.-Experi-

pose Of obtaining a satisfa Glory sub
stitute for wood pulp. Bamboo is
said to have given the most salts

promises than any other OF the sub

way out OF the difficulty would be
for consumers in each country to
form organizations on the lines OF
the British Cotton Growing associa-
ton for the purpose Of encouraging
and developing the production OF pulp
IN various parts Of the world.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
IN FINE PROGRAM
Variety and Beauty Feature Program
Numbers Well Selected and
HarmOniOusly Played.

Probably one of the finest musical
programs ever presented in Olympia
was given Thursday evening by Lieu
RANGES Little Symphony orchestra,
composed of four violins and two
cellos and a pianist. The program
was one of variety and beauty, each
peace being we'll selected and harmo-
niously played. The orchestra is the
first number, opening the winter
Lyceum course for the 192O21 sea-
son.
All members of the orchestra
with the exception of Mr.. Harold
Lewis, pianist and director, were
young women. The Misses Chase,
Sheffield, Morley and Stephens were
the violinists, while the Misses Tesh.
ner and Mueller were the cell;sts, and
Miss Margaret Perry soloist. The
orchestra was especially organized by
Thurlow Lieurance. the well-known
composer. to meet the wide demand
for good music rather than trash.
E. A feature Of the program was tn !,
presentation of a number of Mr..
Lieurance's wonderful American In
dian melodies. Two of these, "By
the Waters Of Minnetonka" and "The
Canoe Song" were beautifully sung
by Miss Perry. who possesses a de-
lightful soprano voice. Mr.. Lewis
played a group Of Mr.. Lieurance's
Indian melodies entitled American
Indian Rhapsody" which called forth
numerous encorses.
Miss Lora Teshner. first cellist,
gave two pleasing and beautiful solos.
and Miss Perry's opening songs were
taken from Madame Butterfly"
The large High School Auditorium
was crowded to it's capacity and each
number was heartily encored numer-
Gus times.
The next number in the Lyceum
course will be Charles c. Gorst, "The
Bird Man." who will appear at the
High School December 2.

CANDIDACY JUDGE BLACK
Hart Crowd Attempting to Nlislea,l
Real Friends Of Lister During
His Lifetime,

Tacoma. Wash, Oct. 25, 1920.
Mr.. George E. Ryan, Acting Chair
man Democratic State Committee,
329 Lyon Bldg. Seattle. Wash.
Dear Mr.. Ryan:
l note in the state press that cer-
tain Democrats of Tacoma and Seat
tie have issued statements to tho
effect that they propose to support
the present republican governor as
against Judge w. w. Black, the dem
ocratic nominee. The friends of Gov
ernor Louis F.. Hart and certain
papers supporting his candidacy, are
attempting to mislead those who
were the real friends of Ernest Lister
during his lifetime by saying that the
opposition of those democrats to
Judge Black is out of respect to the
memory of my husband, but l wish
to state most emphatically that my
daughter Florence and myself are
supporting and intend to vote for
Judge Black. We urge all true
friends of Ernest Lister to support
Judge Black. Some of the very few
democrats who have announced their
support of Governor Hart were not
friendly to Ernest Lister while he
was governor, and am sure If he
were alive today he would be out
campaigning against The present gov
ernor, Louis F. Hart, and supporting
Judge w. W. Black, the democratic
nominee.
You are at liberty to give this let
ter such publicity as in your judg-
Risnt 1t may merit.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) MRS. ERNEST LISTER.
