into a story protesting to be

From Milky Way:
The evidence of the existence
of the strange rays from space
appears to be unquestionable.
But beyond the fact Of their ex-
istence there is no certain knowl-
edge about them. AS related
recently in one of these articles,
some European investigators have
thought they had evidence that
most of the rays come from the
direction of the Milky Way. /. e,
from the part of the heavens which
is the most crowded with stars.
Yet this is as vet no more than a
more or less probable conclusion
from observations that may or may
not be corroborated by other in
vestigations.
This cancer-star-ray speculation
plainly bears the earmarks of the

the prolific mother of Error and
Superstition. Once in a while ex-

~ How should her personal call.
ing cards be made out?
A WIDOW.
A widow uses the same form for
her name that she used when her
husband was alive. Therefore, IL
her greeting cards are formal, she
uses Mrs. Joseph John Jones"
Thus:
Mrs. Joseph John Jones,
greets you on Christmas and
wishes you a Happy New Year.
II. on the other hand, her cards
are Informal, she would sign her
name as she would sign a letter:
With best wishes for
the New Year,
Mary Jones this WRITTEN.
She should never sign either
her letters or her cards 'Mrs.
Mary Jones'" The signature to
her business letters and letters
written to people who must be
informed of her formal name
(such as those to mel, should be:
Very truly, yours,
Mary Brown Jones.
Mrs. Joseph John Jones.)
t2) The visiting cards of a
widow should carry the same
name that they did when her
husband was alive: "Mrs. Joseph
John Jones" For her to use the
name Mrs. Mary Jones" is ex-
tremely bad taste and bad form.

POULTRY SUFFER
FROM

Poultry suffer from colds and as
ISOLATED troubles In winter Just as do
human beings. but q little care and
d~octoring will help to keep down the
heavy annual toll that these diseases
exact from poultrymen. According to
DR.. B. f. Kaupp, head of the poultry
department at the North Carolina
State college, the birds suffer most
from diseases of the respiratory tract
In cold weather.
Common colds result from the birds
becoming wet or chilled because OF
poor housing. quick changes in wea-h.
er or cracks in the house permitting
a draft to blow on the birds. One OF
the signs of this disease is a discharge
from the nose. Any bird so atfecie ed
should be Immediately removed frtan
the flock, states Doctor Kaupp, he
cause the discharge will %contaminfte
the drinking water and give the dis
ease to the other birds. In the case
of colds, the nose should be cleared
out by Swinging with a 10 per cent
solution of arsyrol or a purple salu-
ton of permanganate of potash. In The
case of roup where there is a sinking
discharge, pure iodine should be used
in the syringe and the bird treated
morning and night until cured.
Weak pullets come from crowding
In the summer and they must have
proper feed and care In the laying
pens. Most of them will develop
sore head even in a new house. These
pimples should be CREASED with car
boli2ed grease.
Sore eyes is. another familiar win.
ter-time trouble. The eyes need to be
swabbed out, states Doctor Kaupp,
and a drop OF a 10 per cent solution
of argyrol or a l per cent solution Of
sulphate of zinc placed in the eye
twice each day.
Canker or diphtherltis is a winter
disease which attacks the mouth. II
forms a spot where the sore is COW
cred with a cheesy material. Scrape
this off, states Doctor Kaupp, and use
on 1t a canker pencil, pure iodine or
powdered cnlorate Of potash. Repeat
once each day until the sore has been
cured.

Poultry Hints

Gull out the hen that is persistendy
broody.
Isn't it funay? Almost everybody's
hens start to lay like fun when the
price drops.
The incubafor should be located, pref
erably in a cellar, having good vnnti-
lation. If no such location can be had,
a room facing the north is the next
best place.
Goslings dress easier In warm
weather tli.n they do in cold, as the
feathers dc not set so tightly, and in
picking them the flesh is not SO likely
10 be torn.
Many OF the old, unfit poultry houses
now found on farms could be remod-
eled at little expense and trouble in
such a way that they would provide
a comfortable home for the flock.
Plan to get chicks out on the ground
In the sunlight as soon as possible, or
for a short while each day.
1t will soon be the season for cape
worms, and MI yards not sown to
green feed should be spadcd or plowed
up. II the worms are thick, scatter
lime about the yard before blowing.
Brood coops for the crop Of growing
young fowls need strong wooden floors
and the openings in front should be
closed tight each night to keep down
the losses from rats and weasels.
When the eggs begin to hatch, the
hen should be confined and not dis
turbed until the Matching is complete.
Hens In the breeding flock should
be allowed cut of doors In direct sun
light during the winter and encour-
aged to take plenty of exercise.
The little chicks are moi mi bit
better Off where you Insist on feeding
them before they are as hours old.
In fact. their chances for developing
into useful birds are much enhanced
by such delay

FATS.
WATCH A
TO OBTAIN EGGS

Attention to q few details is often
the deciding factor In making profits
in the poultry business.
For instance" continues L. NJ.
Black, New jersey extension special
list In poultry, III good results In egg
production are to be expected during
cold weather, 1t is quite important
tina. the pullets be confined to the lay
ing houses. Cold wintry blasts and
frozen ground are lot conducive to
high egg yields.
ALLOW each bird four square feet
of floor space In a well~-ventilated
house, and furnish a good ration con-
tanning plenty Of green feed. The
birds will respond by filling the egg
basket with a high-priced product.
Another detail is the buying Of
baby chicks for next springs delivery.
DO 1t early Is a good slogan, and It's
observance may save a disappoint-
ment. Many a poultryman has been
forced to accept chicks Matched later
than he desired just because lie did
not place his order with his hatchery
man at an early date.
1.-THE thoughtful poultrymen also de-
termine now whether or not their in
cubators and brooder stoves are in
readiness for the coming Matching sea-
son. Now is the time to inspect this
equipment carefully and order any
necessary parts that will increase the
possibilities of a successful season.
Thermometers and control waters
should be tested to see that they re-
cord varying temperatures accurately.
1t may even be advisable to set up the
machines and brooders and run Il short
test on them. Above all, do not neg.
Iect them until the last moment and
wake to find yourself unprepared to
start Off at the opening OF the hatch
ing season"

Early Hatched Pullets
Produce Eggs in Winter

The results of laying tests at the
Massachusetts experiment station
show that early-hatched chicks of
the heavier breeds make the best win
ter layers. Rhode Island Red pulletS
which were Matched in March gave u
wintes egg production of 1866 eggs.
April-hatched pullets gave a winter
production of 35.40 eggs and May pull
lets gave a production Of 22.50 eggs.
The profit in producing eggs comes
largely from producing them at Il sea-
son Of the year when they are highest
in price. This means that we must
plan to produce eggs during the winter
months. The Massachusetts expert
ment shows that, with the general
purpose breeds, the early-hatched
chicks are the ones which mature in
time to start laying in the latter part
of October and continue throughout
the winter.

Success in Incubating
Duck and Turkey Eggs

To get the best possible success in
incubating duck and turkey eggs, Sc
cure a hygrometer. Keep it in the
>gg chamber during the entire hatch,
he same as you do with the Their
nometer. BY examining the eggs oc-
c~aslonally to determine the size OF
the air cell you will be able to know
whether or not the moisture content
IS running about the right degree. Ii
the eggs dry down too fast, 1t is an
indication that too much moisture is
being evaporated from the egg con-
tent. On the other hand, II the air
cell remains small without much of a
detachable change such often In
dicatcs too much moisture. A by
grometer can be purchased from most
any incubator manufacturer or poul-
try supply house.

Lady or the Tiger

Certain of the leaders of the colored
voters who in New York, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana and even in New England have
been attempting TO lead their forces into
the Democratic party fold will do well be-
fore they so any further TO request OF
Attorney General Pollard of Texas, DEM
ocrat, a copy of the brief which he has
filed in the United States Supreme Court
asserting and defending the right OF the
dear old Democratic party OF Texas 10
exclude negroes from the Democratic prl-
maries in that state. MIR. Pollard argues
that a primary is not an election WITHIN
the meaning of the constitution and
therefore that they have a legal right to
so act.
InaSmuch as in texas the primary is
the one real event in the political life OF
the State. for in a great number of places
they do not even bother to hold elections
this is about as open a move for the dis
lTdnCilotlleit VI tic lCetOCo 40 hdo oSSf
undertaken for some years. Thus while
in the northern States by means of pat
ronage the Democrats are making a de-
termined drive TO win the colored people
to their standard, and it must be agreed
the flesh pots lave won white as well as
colored people to certain movements. q
move like Pollard's must make plain there
can never be any real sympathy between
the Democratic party and the negroe PEG
pie. The ending of attempted association
inevitably will be that of the lady who
attempted to ride on the tiger. In that
case il will be remembered. that on the
return trip the lady was inside and the
smile was on the face of the tiger.

Egg-Laying Period May
Be PrOfitably Prolonged

The fact that hens lay heavily in
March and April as a result Of ma
lures urge, causes many p%oultrymen
to overlook giving the hens the sort
of feed and care that will prolong the
laying period. Nature has been pre-
pairing the hen for laying In the
spring, and her body has a store Of
protein-the scarcest egg-making ele-
ment. But a hen that lays five eggs
a week will lay eggs in two months
to equal one-half her own weight, and
unless her feed has replaced this pro-
tein, she will lay little after May IL
or June /. To avoid the slump, feed
her heavily with rich protein feed at
this time, and she will have the neces-
sary egg elements to go right ahead
during the summer.
