A ROOM TO CALL HIS OWN

The man whose day is spent in
stern surroundings away from home
wants as far as possible real COM
fort when he gets within the domes-
tic portals. Large, comfortable chairs
enough closet room to find things
eXpeditiously, tables well grouped
beside easy-chairs with lamps at
hand, and smoking things convent
emily placed are the essentials.
A man prefers a single large rug
to a number of smaller ones. The
effect is more restful, and the chan
ces less for tripping over them.
There is perhaps nothing that will
so win the heart of a man as shelves
and closets that he can call his own
and that are without any trace of
feminine invasion. If the room has
wall-space, it is often possible to
utilize it for tie construction of built
in furniture such as shelves and ta-
bles which may be concealed by
doors. Men often have tendency to
accumulate things that in no sense
contribute to the looks of room;
indeed, on the contrary, they quite
Getract from any aspect OF order.
Such items as papers, tools or the
things related to the mans hobbies
are too often kept in full view be-
cause there is no logical place to put
them away; and they are a constant
trial to the housewife. Built-in fea-
lures can often be improvised and
made to add to the orderliness and
comfort of the mans room.
Reading facilities should be gener-
Gus. A little table next to the easy
chair should have room for a few
books and smokes: The writing table
should be as roomy as space will
permit. A mincing little desk offers
small comfort. All the decorations
should have utility. The writing-ta-
BILE should have desk-set consisting
of only those pieces that the man
really wants. The other oddments, be
they ever so decorative, will only get
in his way. Stable and capacious
pieces should be chosen. The ink
well must hold more than a thimble-
full, the letter-rack must really have
room for letters. The blotter must
actually blot, and not content itself
with rocking up and down. A waste
basket will do much to keep the
room in order-From The Designer
Magazine for June.

Milford chronicle., 1926-06-18

An imperative duty every poultry
man must recognize and perform for
himself, if poultry is to be as proftably
productive as it should be, consists
of accurately finding and breeding from
best layers, culling vigorously all def
clients and detectives and cultivating
only the best producers. Continuous
year after year effort will annually
increase profit until the ultimate OF
flock average will reach 200 or more
eggs. Such fOcks are in existence,

an example of what can be done by
hybridizing two or more families of a
species, etc. Canaries have been bred
for singing since early in 1000 and
their singing ability is the result OF
cultivation in each generation. Cul-
tivatiOn of fecundity with poultry,
means only keeping up stamina with
proper diet and sanitatiOn-eggs will
follow through hereditary ability.
Any strain of high fecundity can be
pulled down by poor housing and poor
foOd-a horse will lose its power to pull
on short ratiOns.
Through countless ages the lion has

rate of capacity must be maintained in

OF course the breeding back of strains
sold on a guarantee to lay a certain
number of eggs is known so thoroughly
by the breeder that each sale is with
out risk to either party, because, pri-
marily, fecundity has been fixed; in
other words, the laying ability of a given
strain that has been bred so many gen
eratiOns that reversiOn to original low
fecundity is extremely unlikely. The
science of fixing fecundity seems to lie
almost entirely in mating the most
highly fecund over a long period of
years and cultivating resultant fecun-
dity along with stamina until fecundity
of high degree is a permanent charac-
teristic.
