gage a carpenter for a day or so

Selecting PulIets For Breeders.

Four things should be kept in mind
when selecting pullets as potential
breeders. First is earliness of ma
turity. When the pullets are put in
the laying house, note those that be-
gin to lay early. Intensity of produc-
tion is the second factor. In breeds
whose beaks and shanks are normal
ly yellow, as the Plymouth Rock,
Leghorn, and Rhode Island Red, the
heaviest laying pullets usually
bleach out the normal r
of the beaks and shanks more
quickly than those that lay only in
termittently. The third factor is
broodiness, which is inherited and
often responsible for reducing egg
production (this does not apply to
Leghorns). Persistence of produc-
tion in late summer and fall, COM
bined with time and rate of molting,
is the last thing to notice. Laying
pullets that molt early in their pull
let year are usually poorer layers
than those that molt late in the fall.
1t is easy to mark the pullets with
different-colored celluloid leg bands
for these four things.

Preparing for the
Painter
By MARIE HULSER

EOE those who are contem-
plating having painting done
l. during the autumn season it
is none too soon to offer some
timely suggestions.
One of the most important steps
in securing a good paint job is to
arrange with the painter for a date
well in advance of the time you
wish the work to commence.
After the date has been deter
mined and appropriate colors de-
cided upon, it is advisable to give
day or two to making thorough
inspection of the interior as well
as the exterior of the house. A
list should be made of all little
repairing or rehnishing jobs which
need attention, and then if day
of rain interrupts the progress of
exterior painting, time will not be
wasted, for the painter can turn
his talents to interior work. If
there are doors or drawers which
are difficult to open these should
tie planed before the painter ar
rives They will then be ready for

TNHAT utilitarian room known
as "the bath" affords the
home decorator a wonderful
chance to make it quite as charm
ing a feature of the modern home
as it is indispensable. Color having

taste in making attractive color

A bathroom does not have to be
tiled to be luxurious. 1t may have
wooden floor and just plain plas-
ter walls md yet be the pride and
joy OF the whole family. 1t need
not even have the most up-to-date
plumbing fixtures, for one may en-
close an old fashioned tub in a
we'll designed paneling of wood,
and basin may have a useful cup
board built beneath it. The custom
of using tile or wooden VAIN
scoting in the bathroom is a prac-
teal one, and while the latter is
very much cheaper it need be no
less attractive than the often pro-
hibitive tile. If a wainscoting of
wood is used, it is most decorative
