Yowler had a great deal of patience,

He had no way of knowing when it
would be safe for him to start for
home. Several times during the
night he crept almost up to the en-
trance hole, with his mind fully
made up to start. Then fear sent
him back again, and he would shiver
again at the thought of Yowler's
great claws and teeth and his fierce
yellow eyes. Do you wonder that he
spent an uncomfortable night?

At Home Again

Ab AAuhO CAShh
For a little more than a month I
had neither time nor strength to
write my usual articles for the Coun-
try Home Column. I was in such a
whirl of excitement I was afraid
would get down in the bed and not be
able to wait on my old self ever
again.
L did spend two weeks in an At
lanta hospital under constant care of
the doctors.
I had only four days in which to
get ready for the Washington trip.
after 1 landed at home away from
the hospital and the doctors.
The Washington trip was so full of
thrills and excitement that I am
really amazed that l managed to
keep going at all. But L did go
through it all and the papers have
been so fun of it and the various
stunts I pulled off around and in
the senate that l will not say any
more on that score. 1 will remark
that 1 was delighted with citizens
and letters from all over the United
States and some from Canada, Cuba
London, Paris, and even from Ger
many. These German women wrote
in German tongue, so I must get an
interpreter to translate them. II
they are Of interest I'll be glad to re
view them in the Country Home
Column later on.
L am more than glad to resume
my Country Home articles. l have
been thus connected with the rura
homes (of the southern states most
ly) for quarter of century. The
women on the farm are very neal
to me as co-workers ana as the
mother of ten millions of farmers
maybe TWICE that number, young
and old.
We get back to basic stones when
we consider the country homes Of
this great nation. Everything has
its start with the producer and it, is
the labor of the nation which pro

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON,

est 7 feel in the farm homes of
America. Every home, that is worth
the name of a home, is a real unit
in estimating the assets Of the ma

which good children emerge, and it
is the children of the present time
who will take up all the burdens Of
government when you and 1 must

AS a rule, our people are in too

are still on trial as to long-continued
existence.
Old Rome was a republic once

and were corrupted. We are patri

away from politics.

JOUR- HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED By LIZZIE OTHOMAS

Der and January will give you some
fine layers next fall. OF course your
pullets should be laying now, but
one does not want all the eggs to be
from immature fowls. So let's start
now to help our state stand higher
in the list. Did you open your eyes
when YOU read DR.. Soule's statement
that Georgia sends taenty million
dollars out Of the state for poultry?
Tennessee gets most of it, though
a big grocer told me that he used
cold storage fowls from Chicago.
Just think Of it. Can't you fix up
a big box. and take care of some
chickens through January and push
them so as to get them 10 weigh
pound and half when ten weeks
old? Other people DO; why not you?
The farmer who is really making
crops worth while takes at least one
agricultural paper. Do you take a
poultry magazine? take three, and
never a month comes that I do not
find something in each one to help
me in my flock. 1t may be some
thing I had forgotten, or perhaps
a recent discovery.
Do you know the main egg states?
They are iowa, Missouri, Illinois.
Ohio. Indiana, Kansas. Really the
corn belt states. as the south drops
cotton and takes to planting feed
stuffs. corn, beans and oats, we will
climb to a better place on the egg
wa gon- Iowa produces eleven chick.
ems to an inhabitant; Massachusetts
has three inhab itants for every
chicken, SO you need not expect to
see toe many eggs produced AS a
fact. there are only three and half
chickens to every man, woman and
child in these, United States. Get
busy and raise the number in your
state to at least as many as four per
capita.
You can't do much with scrubs.
but set a hen, sell the early fryers
and put the money in a pure bred
cockerel of the same variety as your
best hens. and make a start. 1t will
you viii not lose any money il YOU
really stick to your job. Chickens
are like people, and exposure surely
knocks out the profits.
There are three letters in today's
mail on the subject of hawks. Just
remember that a heaping teaspoon
full Of powdered nux vomica to pint
of meal is the proportion. Feed the
chicks all they can clean up, and if
necessary repeat next day. No, it
does not poison the chick if you
should eat one, nor are the eggs af-
fected.
If your hens are not laying, try
a sack of bran and one of oats; soak
the oats and mix in the bran.

SHE DARKENED
HER GRAY HAIR
Tells How She Did 1t With Home
Made Remedy

Mrs. f. II. Boots, a wellknown
resident of Buchanan County, Ia,
who darkened her gray hair, made
the following statement:
ANY lady or gentleman can dar-
ken their gray or faded hair, and
make it soft and glossy with this
simple remedy, which they can mix
at home. To half pint Of water
add 1 ounce of bay rum, one small
box of Barbo Compound and a ounce
of%glycerine. These ingredients can
be purchased at any drug store at
very little cost. Apply to the hair
every other day until the gray hair is
darkened sufficiently. 1t does not
color the scalp, is not greasy and
does not rub off. 1t will make

Work Now for January Eggs
This ls the first week in Decenn.
Der. Many home makers are saving
eggs for Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. Some were wise enough to nut
a lot of last summers eggs in water
glass and can now enjoy the idea
that theirs are in the house and the
fresher ones can be sold or used
freely.
Eggs are going to be as high this
winter as they were last There are
now more in cold storage than there
were last year, but times are better

housekeepers could not tell you how
many eggs they average in a years
time. Thousands of the small flock
keepers could not tell you how many
they get. If it became necessary for
each family to engage their eggs, the
years supply in January, they
couldn't possibly do it, nor come near
the approximate number. I know a.
man that eats five eggs every morn
ing as long as they have any, and
he certainly can do hard work. He
doesn't want any meat; eggs and
milk is his combination. But they

in the Green Forest near the new

he almost fell heels over head. 1t

to hear. Then, when Yowler had
sCreecfed again at the very entrance
to that hole and Peter had heard
Yowler's sharp claws tearing up the
earth in rage, it had seemed to him
that his heart would thump it's way
right through his sides. He knew
that he was safe from owler so
long as he remained in that hole, but
even that knowledge didn't make
those screeches any less frightful.
Peter would shiver at the thought
of what might have happened to
him. Then he would chuckle at the
thought of how he had saved Paddy
the Beaver from Yowlef. Then he
would shiver again. So for long
time he would shiver, then chuckle,
then shiver, then chuckle. 1t was
dreadful to have such mixed feel
ings.
Yowler screeched only a couple of
times at that hole, and it was only
for moment or two that he tore up
the ground. After that all was still.
Then Peter began to worry. OF
