innocent as a babe unborn, Of any
intentions whatever toward the
strange woman. She was agreeable,
and helped him pass a pleasant half
hour, this is all, and all of wife's
agonies have been for naught.
The jealous wife should remember
that she is her husbands choice in
women. He picked her out from all
her sex as the one that represented
his ideal, and mems tastes seldom
change. Note how they wear the
same type of clothes year after year.
Reflect how hard it is to get them
to move their habitation. 1t is wom-
en- who are crazy about one thing
one day and mad about something
else the next.
or course, there are faithless hus-
bands, Just as there are faithless
wives, but the average husband is
apt to stay put. He has made his
own best bet matrimonially, and he
abides by it. AS a rule, he is far
more interested in business adven-
lures than he is in heart affairs, and
it anuses him even more than it ag-
gravates him when his wife is jeal-
Gus of him.
Jealousy is, however, q boomerang
that invariably returns and destroys
the hand that hurled it. For many
a woman who is jealous without
reason makes her suspicious give
her cause for Jealousy.
Many a man never noticed how
much prettier and younger than his
wife some other woman was until
his wife called his attention to it by
her jealousy. Many a business man
never thought of his secretary as
anything but an Office adjunct until
his wife got jealous of her. Many
a man never t, ought of flirting
with other women until his wife put
the idea into his head by her jeal-
ousy..
1t is when wives make other wom-
en- forbidden fruit that men risk
their lives to do some apple eating.
1t is when wives nag, and fret, and
put their husbands through the
third degree, every time they speak
to a woman, that husbands decide
that if they have to pay, they may
as we'll have the fun of the game,
and not let poor Mary waste her
jealousy without cause.
Jealousy is madness and misery
any way you look at it. Foolish. in
deed, is the woman who INDUCES
herself in such morbid mindedness.

What are you going TO do with
your hens during the wjnte'
months? Dc you expect to make
them lay and prove a profitable IN
vestment? We are importing mil
lions of dollars worth Of eggs and
poultry products. There is market
in our own state for ali Of these
food materials we can produce Let
US see that it is supplied. To this
end we must give consideration to
the proper feeding and management
of poultry. Prof. r. S. Wooster Of
fers some suggestions along this line
of great economic Importance al
this time.
AT this time Of the year the Geor.
gia poultryman should have all OF
his pullets in the laying, houses. a
carefully balanced ration is the key
tc egg production at this season and
all seasons of the year. Keep a
GOOD laying mash before the birds
at all times. Laying mash means
eggs to the poultryman. Grain is
also very essential as it goes for
maintenance of the hem But be
careful not to feed too much grain.
which can easily be done. Remen.
Der that your hens should consume
as much mash as grain. Ten pounds
of grain is sufficient for one hun.
bred hens in a day. The gram
should not be fed all at once, but
should be spread out into at least
three feeds-two and one-haif
pounds in the morning, two and one
half pounds at midday and five
pounds at night. This is a great
help in keeping the hens busy.
A GOOD BALANCED RATION:
Scratch
100 pounds crack corn.
100 pounds oats.
100 pounds wheat.
100 pounds corn meal.
100 pounds ground oats.
100 pounds wheat middlings.
100 pounds wheat bran.
100 pounds meat scrap.
Artificial lights are a big advan-
tage in late fall and winter egg pro-
duction. Excellent results have been
obtained by using lights from a.
m. until daylight. Electric lights
are the easiest to handle and the
cheapest in the long run, but if cleo
tricity cannot possibly be obtained,
an ordinary gasoline barn lantern
will work perfectly well.
Hens under lights must have
enough more grain to keep them in
good condition. They must also
have water as soon as they come
off the roost. A small amount of
grain can be thrown into the litter
just after the hens go to roost at
night, which the hens will get as
soon as the lights go on at 5 a. m.
If you have electric lights, this we'll
save getting up at that hour to
feed.
One other big step toward fall
and winter egg production which APP
plies to all seasons is strong, healthy
birds. Colds and roup are the two
worst diseases the poultrynlan has
TO contend with at this time.
Colds, if taken care of in time, are
not a great menace. If YOU notice
several birds with colds, give all the
birds a dose of salts (put one pound
of Epson salts in the drinking wa
ter for every 100 hens. 1t is we'll
to keep water away from the birds
at least five hours previous to giving
the salts. Enough potassium per
manganate to make the drinking
water a cherry red is a good way to
prevent colds from spreading, and
will help cure them. Bad colds Oft
en- turn into roup, which is a con-
tagious disease, attacking the mem
branes lining the eye, sacks below
the eye and nostrils.

home. | WISH To- KNOW HOW ~
figure the per cent Of the differ
ent ingredients correctly, so that
I can mix my fertilizer and put
the proper amount of plant food
in it. Your help in this matter
will be appreciated.
One desiring to prepare fertilizer
formula at home needs to- have the
following information in hand:
You must know, first of all, the
composition of the material you ex'
pect to use. That is, its content OF
available plant food. Then presum'
Ing that you wish TO make an S-2-2
fertilizer, proceed as follows: LII
this case, We would select for our
materials acid phosphate containing
l6 per cent available phosphorlc
acid, nitrate of soda containing 15.l
per cent available nitrogen, and mu'
riate of potash containing so per
cent available potash. Set down this
simple formula in regard to each
one: 16:1OO"100160. This will equal
the required pounds of acid phos-
phate to provide you with $50 pounds
of available phosphoric acid. In
other words, if you multiply 16 by
100 and divide by 16, you will get the
same answer, which, in this case, as
YOU can readily see, would be 100
pounds of acid phosphate. If you
proceed in the same way with refer
ence to nitrate OF soda and muriate
of potash, you will find that it takes
255 pounds of nitrate of soda and 81
pounds of muriate Of potash respec-
lively to supply the 40 pounds OF
nitrogen and the 40 pounds of potash
you wish to secure in your mixture.
If YOU add these materials together
you will find they total up only 1885
pounds. You would then have to
add Sos pounds of earth or filler to
make one ton. You may or may
not add the earth, just as you pre-
fer. Presuning that you want to
use say 300 pounds of an 8-2-2 mix
ture per acre, you will have about
thirteen sacks of the mixture. There
fore, three sacks of the mixture
would contain about the amount you
wish 10 apply to each acre. By pro-
ceeding in this way you avoid the
necessity of handling over and over
again that 655 pounds of earth or
filler.
Any other formula you may wish
to use can be worked out eXactlyp
on the same basis as this one. When
you use high grade fertilizers, there
will be no necessity of using filler
to bring the amount up to one ton.
You cannot make high grade fertil-
izers out of grade materials, be-
cause, as you can readily see, it
will require more Of the low grade
materials to provide the amount of
available plant food desired.

Excellent Ration for
Fattening Market Ducks

Ducks are fattened easier and
quicker than any other class OF poul-
try. II they are properly fed and han
died. Here is an excellent fattening
ratIun: Two parts cornmeal. n part
each of wheat bran and middiings,
n part ground oats, two parts ground
beefscrap. To this add three or four
per cent Of coarse sand or grit and
mix the whole together with milk,
sweet or sour. Give them all they
will eat OF this mixture three times a
day. II you are In a big hurry to force
them along; or, II you haven't time TO
do that. give them the mash as often
as convenient, and keep dry grains be
fore them In boxes all The time. See
that they have plenty of water to
drink, and keep II in troughs so that
several ducks can partake at the same
time. Don't give them o much ilb
erty while %fattening them FOR market,
for they fatten quicker in small quiet
uns Ducks are nervous and easily
frightened; dogs and loud strangers
often cause serious disturbances. A
thorough fright will cause a duck to
lose more flesh and healthy growth
In half an hour than good care and
food will restore In several days. That
may sound like nonsense, but it's the
experience Of all who have tried II.

Early Melting Hens Do
Not Paw for Feed Bill

One OF the best indications that a
hen has quit laying for this year Is
the beginning of the molt. The hen
starts to grow new feathers just as
soon as the old ones drop out and
most of the feed that she gets goes
INTO the growing OF feathers instead
Of into the production Of eggs. Many
people believe that these early molt-
ing hens viii get their new feathers
before winter and lay eggs when they
are highest In price, but experiments
ave shown that the hen that mOlts
In July or August takes a long time
to get her new feathers and is natur-
ally a poor layer. If she does start
laying before the winter Ia over she
viii not. lay enough & & TO pay for
her feed bill.
